Dance w/ devils

Maybe after the series/anime conclusion, Ritsuka (Fl) lives an ordinary life and opened a flower shop. She's still in touch with her brother and her best friend, although they are out on missions from the church and can't spend more time with her as the grimoare's power has already been used. However, some devils don't accept that and kidnap her. Their goal is to 'research' on the possible vessels of the grimoare, so that they may find it faster than the vampires in the future.

Meanwhile, Ritsuka's friend Azuna and her brother Lindo find the empty, broken into flower shop with no Ritsuka. Surprisingly, for some reason (due to her loneliness she made a wish) there was a creature made out of nature minerals that told them that their dearest person had been taken to the devil kingdom. Although not happy, her vampire brother (Lindo) contacts one of the members of the former student council 'of the third library' via a magic paper with their real name on it (you burn it) - that he got who knows how - and informs them about the situation and together they go and search the gruesome devil kingdom before it's too late. Ren, along with his father, have the assumption that these devils are actually rebels that want to use Ritsuka to somehow use the grimoares power again and rise to power.

The truth of the conflict however is, that Ritsuka is the grimoare herself. Once, a person wished the grimoare to live in the form of a human and regain its powers upon its 18th human birthday. This was so neither devil, vampire or other individual could recklessly wish upon the magical book. The one to have wished so was killed and called the greatest traitor, when they had been the one who understood the grimoares purpose the most as they held it far longer than others. They knew that each wish exhausts the life-force of the planet, by wishing the grimoare to life like a human who could 'die', the planet can recover from its loss faster.

The ones who kidnapped Ritsuka knew that a vessel isn't useless even after the grimoares power had been used, they tried many things.. When the forces of the devils and the church found them, they didn't find Ritsuka, only..a book in the hands of the enemy leader who laughed at them. The familiar of 'Ritsuka' growled at the enemy enraged growing in size, it was as big as Ren's father(?). It told the gathered parties that the book was Ritsuka's.. (small lie).

Ecstatic the leader told them of what he had done to the vessel and discovered how the grimoare had formerly been in the shape of a human. In the books pages, each wish is recorded, thus he came to know of what the traitor had wished. According to the devil: "The girl was nothing more than a tool trying to hide itself amongst living beings" ..the male leads were shocked but later repulsed at what the enemy leader told them he had done to the false girl. A fight over the book ensued, it could only fulfill a wish every hour as it needed to sap up energy (life-force) to grant the wish uttered by the one holding it. It was thrown everywhere.. until one of the boys wished it to turn 'back' into Ritsuka which it did. (That wish wasn't a wish as it was basically included in the wish of  the traitor, its an ability of the grimoare that still needs to be uttered in its book form).

In the end Ritsuka disappeared after having fulfilled the wish of a cleric, which was to cure the damaged lands of earth which had become more and more devoid of life (The book had to use its own magic so its human self basically died). Still, both the devils and vampires now knew that the grimoare could be 'born' as a human. So they searched the human world, looking for the signs of the magical book. Ren and the others, aswell as Ritsuka's family and friends, knew that if Ritsuka remembered them she would undoubtedly search them out since she trusts them not to do anything foolish. So, they attended their old school again. Her brother as a teacher, her friend as a nurse, and the devilish boys once again posed as the student council of the 3rd Library. It wasn't long till they were searched out individually by the same girl...

Ps; as she's now self-aware she can use the grimoare's magic power and abilities - which are technically hers - to protect herself. The boys weren't quite sure what to think of the girl they favoured with magical powers and knowledge that dominated theirs, her friend however liked it.
