"How would we know where Takemicchi is?" Draken asks. Shiho looks at him. He sighs heavily. "Shiho, Mikey. Do you know where Takemicchi is? Emma wants to know.""Beats me," Mikey says, wrapping his arms around Shiho's shoulder a little tighter.
"I have an idea, but I'm not sure. Plus, if we can't find him, he's probably doing something important," Shiho says.
"We dunno where he is," Draken says into the phone. "Hah? Look for him? Why?" Draken sighs. "What a pain..."
"Kenchin, Shishi~Chan, we should go back," Mikey says. Shiho nods with a smile. "That impulse we heard, it had to be Mitsuya's. Takemicchi is probably there too."
Draken relays the information to Emma. Shiho looks at Mikey. "If they were where I think they were, we'll find them both. To the church!" Mikey chuckles.
"You're cute," Mikey says. Shiho's face burns.
"Hey! You two! Stop flirting and hurry up!"

Shiho turns to Mikey while Takemichi and Hina talk. "Seeing them happy makes me feel weird," Shiho says.
"Weird?" Mikey repeats.
"They have such a nice relationship," Shiho says. "It's not normal."
Shiho doesn't even mention the fact that he came from the future to save her.
Mikey laughs. "Yeah, you're right."
Shiho smiles. "Jirou, remember that promise you made me?" Mikey nods. "If something bad happened, and we...Touman changed, what would you do?"
Mikey raises an eyebrow. "I won't let Touman change."
"Do you trust me?"
"Of course."
"Then, there's someone I need you to boot out of Touman."
"Who?"
"Kisaki." Shiho looks at Mikey's dark eyes. She's looked at them a thousand times. She's seen everything they have to offer. And even now, they haven't changed. They're the same deep, beautiful obsidian colour they were when they were kids.
She knows she's not making sense. But she has to help Takemichi.
"Micchi has the full details, but I know for sure he orchestrated the fight with Valhalla. He tried to get rid of me too, but once it failed...he accepted that I was here to stay. He probably even pulled strings today. Just...please, get him out."
Mikey smiles at her. "Sure. I'll talk to Takemicchi, too."
Shiho smiles at Mikey. She pulls him into a tight hug. "Thank you, Jirou." Shiho pulls away, only to have Mikey wrap his arms around her waist once she turns around.
"Emma, stop crying!" Shiho teases.
"But I'm so happy for Hina~!" Emma says. Mikey and Shiho chuckle a bit. Mikey's arms wrap a little tighter around Shiho. She doesn't say anything, she simply leans back into Mikey.
"Weak to girls, weak at fighting," Draken says. "But when things are tough, he's got your back. Takemicchi is just like him."
"He really is," Shiho says.
Mikey smiles and chuckles. "Yeah." Mikey stares at Takemichi for a moment. "Hey, Takemicchi, take a ride with me."
Mikey grabs Takemichi and pulls him along.
