”Papaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa” Kasumi said while tugging onto Banjou’s pants. She has been like this since 10 minutes ago. Kasumi loves playing with Ai, who she met while walking around the street with her dad, Sento, but there is a problem to that.
“Kasumi, you know Mr.Tenkuuji and Mr.Fukami are quite busy with their stuff. I don’t want to bother them now.”
“But papa! I wanna go and meet Aichan!”
“You met her 3 days ago.”
“But that was already 3 days ago! I wanna go and meet Aichan again.”
“Kasumi.”
“Please!!!!”
Banjou let out a sigh and put is hands in his pocket.
“… Fine. I’ll go and call Mr.Tenkuuji if you can go play with Aichan.”
“Yay! Thanks, papa!”

Banjou picked up his phone to call Takeru. And few talks on the phone later, Banjou put his phone down and looked over to Kasumi.
“He said it’s okay for you to come over. I think I’ll have to go and tell your dad about it.”
“Really?? Thanks, papa!”
“Go thank Mr.Tenkuuji, not me.” Banjou then walked straight to Sento’s labratory.

“Hey, Sento.”
“What.”Sento spoke as he was concentrating on his invention.
“Kasumi wants to go and play with Ai. She’ll be back before dinner.”
“Oh, okay… Wait, what?!” Sento said turning around faster than Banjou had expected.
“You heard me.”
Sento let out a sigh. “You said she will be back before dinner, right?”
“Yea. I did.”
“She’s going to Ai’s, right?”
“You didn’t hear me?”
“I was busy focusing on my experiment!”
“Yea, yea. Whatever. I’ll drop her there and head to work.”
“.. You have work?”
“I do. You don’t?”
“We don’t have anything to prove
our existence here. How the hell did you get a job?”
“Kazumin?”
“How did Kazumin even recognize you?”
“… We will never talk about it, okay?”
“Fine. Make sure Kasumi doesn’t get hurt.”
“K. See you later at dinner.”

Banjou went to Takerus place with Kasumi’s hand in his. And as they walked near there, they could see Takeru and Ai holding hands. Takeru was waving at them with a huge smile on his face.
“You’re here, Mr.Kiryuu.”
“I think Banjou would be fine but thanks for allowing Kasumi to come over Mr.Tenkuuji.”
“It’s noting. Besides Ai really wanted to see Kasumi anyways. I was kinda relieved when you called and asked if Kasumi could come over.”
“Kasumi. Don’t cause trouble. I’ll be back before dinner.”
“I will.”
“Let’s go, Kasumi Chan! I want to show you my new toy auntie Akari made me!”
“Cool!”

Ai led Kasumi to the basement where Akari was having her experiment. Ai walked to the corner, picked up a small device that looked similar to a cellphone, pressed some buttons and threw it in the air. The cellphone-like device shifted and turned into a mini weapon that kids could hold around.
“Ai Chan. I told you not to use it in Here. It’s dangerous.’ Akari said focusing on her work.
“Fine. Let’s go outside then.”
Ai took Kasumi’s hand and went outside to the front yard. Akari let out a sigh and went back to focusing on her work.

When they got outside, Ai smiled and decided to show one Kasumi how the weapon Akari made her works. She pressed some buttons and various attacks came out of the weapon. Kasumi stood there stunned.
“WOW, Ai Chan, that’s so cool! I wish dad made me some of those stuff.”

“Achoo!” Sento sneezed. He felt like someone was talking behind his back but decided to brush it off. “Dad, did you catch a cold?” Takumi said while bringing a cup of coffee to Sento. “I’m fine Takumi. It’s just a sneeze anyway. Also. Thank you for the coffee.” Takumi sighed and went to the table to read his favorite books.

Kasumi and Ai talked about some stuff about their life, like how Kasumi first went to cafe Nascita for the first time with her parents or the moment Ai was surprised at her father when he almost tried to kill her uncle Alain and had to stop him with her Aunt Kanon and her papa, witch they couldn’t tell each other the last time they met. They had so much time talking to each other that they didn’t know it was time for Kasumi to go.

Banjou, after work took Kasumi’s hand and waved goodbye to Takeru. Kasumi looked slightly mad that she had to go, but she waved goodbye to Ai.

On their way home Banjou asked Kasumi if she had a good time there. Kasumi just made a slightly grumpy face. Banjou laughed slightly.
“You don’t want to go, huh?”
“We were having a wonderful time. Why do we have to go?”
“Your dad is waiting with Takumi and dinner. You don’t want to miss it, right?”
“.. Right.”

(After story short- they had dinner.)

Back then when Kei was nine, he thought he was satisfied with his life. Although he wasn’t able to see his parents as much as normal ones, in fact he couldn’t meet his parents even once a month, he had a loving aunt and uncle. He got all the love that should come from his parents from them. That was until that one day, that one day Tsukasa finally, after a year and months of not visiting Kei, decided to go and have a talk with his one and only son.

The moment Tsukasa opened the door of Hikari Studio to see Kei, everyone there was surprised. Tsukasa didn’t visit often. And when Tsukasa waked up to Kei and asked if he could go somewhere with him, Kei stood shocked but decided to go with him.

Tsukasa took Kei to Ishabanya,chikyu(do not ask why) and sat on the hill to watch the beautiful sight on Ishabanya’s best sight in silence.
After some silence that seemed to be forever, Tsukasa began to spoke. “So.. how’s life, Kei?’ “I, it’s fine..” “Are Natsumikan and Yuusuke doing fine..?” “Yea.. They are doing fine..”

Another awkward silence.
“Ne, d, dad?” “U, oh, yea. what is it Kei?” Is mom doing fine?” “Eh?”

Another awkward silence.
“D, dad?” “Sorry Kei. I wasn’t able to see him in a while.” “But, why? I thought mom liked you a lot.“

Tsukasa couldn’t answer him for a while. Tsukasa couldn’t see him after their divorce.
After Kei became 3 years old and was left with Natsumi and Yuusuke, Tsukasa and Kaito couldn’t get along as well as they used to as well as having several big and small problems with each other, and decided to divorce. They couldn’t tell Kei about it.

“Well, it’s really complicated, and I don’t think I can tell you about it properly but, maybe your mom, is busy treasure hunting.” “.. I really miss my mom..”
Kei could feel his eyes tearing up. He just wanted to see his mom, at least once in his life. Tsukasa didn’t know how to react. He has never seen Kei cry since he was 4. But then, Tsukasa remembered something he brought with him to give Kei.
“Ne, Kei.” “M?”
Tsukasa handed him a camera, which looks like his one but the color is purple, not pink, I mean Magenta. Kei made a surprised face while wiping his tears.
“I, is this for me?” “Of course. Hope you like it.” “I love it. Thanks dad.”
Kei gave Tsukasa a hug. Tsukasa was surprised at his son’s sudden act but gently smiled and returned the hug.
“I want you to use it the way you want to use it.” “I will.”

It happened back then when Gaku was 15.

Gaku was just walking around with an angry and slightly annoyed look on his face. He just had a fight with Kato and was going on a simple walk so he could clear his mind. When he walked straight into the park and sat down on a bench near the fountain, he didn’t know someone was sitting next to him.

Asu was sitting on the bench, his hands in his pocket, looking at the setting sun when he heard someone sit nest to him. As he looked next to him, there was a boy that looked as if he was around 14 or more. The boy looked angry and was murmuring some stuff as if no one was there.

Asu tapped pon Gaku’s shoulder, only for Gaku to scream in shock. Asu chuckled quietly.

“So, what was the thing you were talking to yourself about?”
“I, uhh..”
“It’s okay. You can just tell me.”
“Well it’s about my twin brother Kato. He always acts like he’s the one above me! It’s so stressing!!”

Gaku couldn’t help but tell Asu everything that happened with Kato. Like how he spoke and act as if he was below him. Asu just smiled, nodded and sometimes replied with some words at Gaku’s story.

Gaku panted for a while after a long talk about Kato, then realized what he has done. He was so embarrassed and shamed he wanted to go and hide somewhere.

Asu just chuckled at Gaku feeling shamed and hiding his face. He wiped away his non-existing tears and patted Gaku lightly.

“Sometimes it’s okay to let your feelings flow out. It’s just a natural thing, not a thing to be ashamed of.”

Gaku could feel his face getting slightly hot. He just nodded silently. Asu just smiled and looked at the sky.

After a while, they started talking about some stuff like what they like, what they think about something, any topic except for private ones. They even found similar stuff between each other.

As the sky got dark, Asu turned over to Gaku.

“I have to go. My mom might be really worried about me.”
“Do you really have to go?”
“Unfortunately, yes. But.. oh! Can you hand me your phone?”
“My phone..?”

Gaku handed Asu his phone without any second thoughts. And when Asu recieved Gaku’s phone he quickly added his number to Gaku’s contact.

“Here. That’s my number. You can call or text me anytime.”

Gaku stood there still. He looked at his phone and then turned his head back up to tell Asu one thing he wanted to tell him.

“Oh, oh, thank, oh..”

But by the time Gaku turned his head up, Asu was gone. Gaku smiled bitterly but looked back at his phone. A new person named ‘Tezuka Asu’ was added to his contact. Gaku smiled while thinking of him, then slightly blushed. It stayed quite long that Kagami was worried if Gaku had a fever but Gaku didn’t mind. He just met the best person in his life.

Everything started when Asu was 4. He was still young and wanted to travel around so much. He just wanted to wander around and eventually lost his mother. Asu decided to go and find his mother but on the way fell down on the way and hurt his knee. When Asu was about to cry, a man in black clothes came walking by. He looked as if he was going to pass by, but when he accidentally saw Asu’s face, he couldn’t resist the urge to get near him.

“Oi, kid. You hurt?”
“M, Mr.. can you find my mom?”
“Your mom?”
“H, he took me out for work, but I just wondered around and now I can’t find him.”

The stranger looked at Asu.

“Look, kid. I was a friend of your, uhh, dad, I guess. I’ll stay with you until he gets here.”?
“Really? Thanks, Mr!”
“Just call me Ren.”
“Okay, Mr. Ren.”
“But, what’s your name kid?”
“Tezuka Asu! 4 years ole!”
Okay, so, Asu, huh.”

Wait.. so he’s the son of Tezuka and Kido? REN thought to himself. He didn’t expect their relationship to be like that.

Ren took care of Asu until he heard footsteps that seemed like Asu’s mother he smiled at him and stood up.

Shinji ran towards his son the moment he saw him. He hugged him tight and asked him where he has been. But when Asu decided to show the man to him, there was no one near him except his mother.

"Asu nii-chan."
"Gaku. It's a surprise to see you here."
"I, I just wanted to tell you that.."
"Hey, Gaku."
"Kato?!"
"Kato, I didn't expect you to be here too."
"And I'm here too, you know."
"Kei, just sit down."
"Haruto?!!"
"Gaku nii-san. This was all Kei's plan, not mine. Okay?"
"Haruto! Did you betray me?"
"It's not betraying, it's telling the truth."
"And what's with all this chaos over here?"
"Who are you?"
"Oh, Im Wakako. Hidari Wakako. What about you people?"
"Im Gaku."
"Kato."
"I'm Asu."
"Kei."

"I was just following you. And it's not that far from there."
"So I came along."
"Kirihiko?!"
"Wait, what's going on here?!"
"Are you an idiot?"
"Shut up, Kato!"
"I don't think it's polite to say that to your family."
"Akimelon!"
"How many times do I have to tell you that my name is Akime, Kei!"
"I think I need a break."
"Maybe we should go somewhere else, Asu nii-chan?"
"Take me with you guys. I need some aspirin."

Sora blinked her eyes as she held lightly onto Kagami's finger. Kagami could feel tear filling his eyes. He then smiled at Sora.

"You know what, little girl? As your, uhh... dad/mom, I'll protect you no matter what."

Sora just smiled. She made some small happy noises still holding onto Kagami's finger. Kagami smiled at his daughter.

"I'll be there when you need me."

Kagami hugged Sora tight but loose enough for Sora to breathe.

"Gou-papa, who is this man?" Chaser asked Gou while pointing at the picture taken on the picture taken before Chase's incident.
"That's Chase. An, old friend of Shin-papa and... me." Gou made a bitter smile while looking at the sky, talking about Chase. "Although things didn't go well between us that much back then."
"Then can I meet him?"
"I'm afraid not. He's..." Gou let out a sigh as he slowly coveres his face.
Chaser Looked at Gou with a concerned look as he tried to pat his back. "D, did he..?" He said, voice trembling.
"I, we.. there was no other way than that." Chaser could see tears falling through Gou's fingers that covered his eyes. He even thought that he might have asked the wrong question to him.
Well until...

SMACK!!
"Ow! Shin nii-san?!"
"Don't trick your son like that, okay?"
Shinnosuke smacked Gou's head with a book.
"What do you mean trick?" Chaser asked.
"Chase didn't die that day. He married your aunt." Shinnosuke said as he gently pet Chaser's head.
"Does that mean the uncle I saw was actually him? But he looks different from him. How?"
"He got his emotions back. Well, not right after the incident, but slowly. He got it back."
"Then what does he mean by I can't meet him?"
"He's currently on a trip with your aunt and cousin. He'll be back next week."

Kagami sat beside Tendou as he held onto Sora gently. Sora put her hands toward Kagami so she could reach him.

"Tendou."
"Yea?"
"I, didn't think you would want to, you know, raise a child with me."
"I didn't."
".. What?"
"I said, I didn't."
"Then why did you"
"Cause I didn't know you had our child."

They both went silent. Only the sound of Sora mumbling some baby words in Kagami's arms could be heard.
Then it was Kagami who broke the silence.

"I didn't think the night would change everything. We only had one night. One experience. And now we have a child."

Kagami took a deep breath as he slowly touched Sora's cheeks. He smiled watching Sora giggle.

"It's not that I regret it now. I couldn't get the fact that I was going to have a child. But, now that I have Sora, I feel like I've got something new to protect."
"Then let's protect it together."

Tendou hugged Kagami slightly. Sora moved her arms a bit so she could touch Tendou. And as she did that, Tendou smiled slightly.

9 months before Kenzaki knew he had Aoi, he had a great fight with the one he truly loved and left him, reminding himself that it was for the greater good. But when he finally knew his secret, he stood still, shocked, looking at the test he couldn’t deny. He was pregnant. With the child of the one person he he loved, Hajime.

Kenzaki wanted to deny it. But, the evidence grew day by day. Until one day. Labor. He could no-longer run from the fact that he had a child. A few weeks after Kenzaki gave birth to his son, he decided to take the child somewhere where he might live a happy life, which eventually became Jacaranda, where Hajime was.

When Hijime first found a child near Jacaranda, he was surprised. He didn't know why a child was there with a note '2005.10.02' which might be his birthday. Hajime took the child and went inside.

The child, now called Aikawa Aoi, was living with Hajime, Amane, and her mother. He didn't know who his mother was, but he was still happy without her(or him). He had a good father, a good sister figure, and a good aunt.

And one day came the Zi-o arc, where Hajime and Kenzaki had met again, became human, and could live without fighting each other. They could do what they couldn't do 14 years ago. But there came a huge challenge. Facing Aoi. He was going to be 13 that year. He never had a mother his entire life. So they decided to start with small approaches. Kenzaki visited often to Hajime's, trying his best to be close to Aoi,not wanting him to know about his relationship with Hajime cause he knew it would affect Aoi quite negatively.

But Aoi already knew. One day, he approached Kenzaki.
"You love my dad, right?"
"How did you..."
"It's not that hard. The way you look at him, it was obvious."
Then came silence.
"Ne, Aoi-kun. Have you ever thought of what you might say if you met your biological mother?"
"I would ask her why she left me behind. And maybe I would ask her to never come back, I guess. Why?"
"I, never mind. I think I should go. Bye, Aoi-Kun."
"Well, I wouldn't mind if you could be my... where did he go?"
And before Aoi finished his sentence, Kenzaki then left.

Kenzaki sat besides Hajime sighing hard.
"Hey, Hajime."
"What is it, Kenzaki?"
"Well.. I, don't know what to do."
"What's the matter?"
"He knows our relationship. Well, that's not a problem. But what if he knows I'm his biological mother? What if he knows I was the one who threw him away? Would he hate me?"
"Don't worry. It'll take some time, but I'm sure You two would get along."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. I am."
Kenzaki had a few more talk with Hajime before he left.

Although their relationship didn't change much since then, they became closer than before, as a family, or more.
