"Sixth Form: Cat-Legged Winds of Love"

A succession of layers of cuts were hit against the demon woman. Of a sudden, the demon woman groaned in pain as her body started turning into ashes and sublimating through the wind. "Curse you all, curse you all!"

Mitsuri's ghost landed beside you, with the curse of the demon gone, Mitsuri's ghost looks more joyful. Though still stained with blood the once incomplete body without ears suddenly looked complete. "Only the curse on Obanai made me feel incomplete. Thank you for bringing me here!" The ghost smiled.

Obanai froze in his place as he saw the love of his life, with the curse gone, he suddenly felt as if a big weight was free freed from his scale. Crying, Obanai runs to Mitsuri whilst Mitsuri doing the same. They came to each other's arms with tears in their eyes.

"Iguro-san..." She cried embracing the man. "I am here... I am here..." Obanai hugged Mitsuri and was willing not to let go of her. You watched as the two embraced each other for love. It's true, no matter what time, what generation, or what life you are in if you really love each other, you will keep on finding each other's warmth and hearts.

"Holy fucking hell! Xiao stop! Drink your medicine" You groaned as you pull back the adepti from his seat who is stubbornly refusing to drink the medicine. "No fucking way, I can survive this without that." The painkillers were by Zhongli for Xiao to intake.

According to him, 'Nothing of this world can withstand the power of this medicine'.  Well, sorry to your uncle but Xiao is fucking stubborn."You know what! Fine! Don't drink this!" You groaned slamming down the glass of water and the medicine and making your way to Mitsuri and Obanai. Xiao smiled at your retreating figure before taking the medicine and drinking it himself. Well, he just wants you angry.

"Hey (Y/N)", Mitsuri called. "May I have a request?" You looked at Mitsuri who is holding Iguro's hand. "What is it?" You smiled. Mitsuri then let go of Iguro before holding both of your shoulders. "Please keep the letter in the book. Make sure it won't be removed there."

"The one stating about the green socks? Why?"

"It holds memory. A memory I don't want to let go. Those green socks, I want to remember them whenever I am reborn. I want it to be kept."

"I will Mitsuri."

Mitsuri squealed before hugging. "I'm also sorry for almost killing you! I just really want to find Iguro!" You cannot breathe, at all. The ghost hugged you so tight. Iguro then pulled Mitsuri away and bowed. "Thank you, Mr. Adepti, and to you, Ms. (Y/N)."

"You're very most welcome, and also, please have a great afterlife." You said before bowing. Xiao looked emotionless beside you, and that's pretty normal, this man doesn't care about anything around the world, except money, demons, karma, and... well, you.

Mitsuri hugged you once more before whispering, "Your fated one is hidden through the tips of your end." She let go before running back to Iguro. Waving at you and Xiao, before riding the limousine that will bring them to the afterlife.

"I guess our hotel is now left with lesser guests than before," Xiao whispered. You looked at him with one eyebrow raised, "What do you mean?"

"The end of time must be nearing."

You kept on walking back and forth in your room while Albedo is watching you do your thing. "What the hell does she mean?" You asked Albedo as you ranted about Mitsuri. (Hiding the fact that she is a ghost you helped to go to the afterlife.)

"I've read a book about something like that before. It is a legend in Inazuma." Xingqiu suddenly entered with Chongyun following. "The red thread of fate."

Chongyun sat beside Albedo on your bed, "It is actually a sign that the one meant for you is connected to the other side of that thread. What exactly did she say?"

"Your fated one is hidden through the tips of the end."

"Exactly. The pinky." Albedo said before standing up. "As far as I remember, it never breaks."

You walked with Xiao side by side in the park. "Xiao, Mitsuri mentioned something." The man just gazed at you, his usual expressionless self just listening to you talk. "It's about fate. Wherein it speaks about finding the fated one on the tips."

"Bullshit," Xiao said and rolled his eyes. To be honest, he's actually interested, perhaps, his fate must be answered by that, won't it?

"Not bullshit! Hmm, what if I try to see it now, and where mine is." You said before raising your fingers up and focusing on your left finger. You stopped walking when your pinky finger glowed in red. A single thread was tied in yours. Your eyes trailed where the thread goes but there is none. It was cut.

Now, that made you sad. The fact that there is no fated person you. You thought that you might be alone for the rest of your time. You'll never be able to find the person who will love you like how Obanai loved Mitsuri. Maybe love isn't for you?

You sighed, in which Xiao noticed your sudden gloomy aura. "You're right. It's bullshit." You mumbled before walking with a slouch. Watching your sad figure, Xiao wanted you to cheer up, so he will bring you somewhere you'll be happier.

He may not be a good person to comfort but, he wants to at least try to help you ease your mind and remove that gloominess from you. He clearly wants to see you smile and be happy. Xiao doesn't even care if other people were sad, angry, or happy. He doesn't, but seeing you in a state of sadness is something he can't take, therefore he'll do everything for you. "Come on." Xiao pulled you. You were surprised but decided to just follow him. 

You both stopped in front of a restaurant. Several students were eating, and it was a very busy diner. The restaurant was decorated with snakes making you remember a certain ghost. "I know you're hungry, and well... you were sad...but they serve large portions here I hope you enjoy," Xiao mumbled.

You blushed as you heard what Xiao said. 'He knows I am sad. Fuck fate if it's my boss I'll date.' You shook your head as you remembered that your boss is not even human, nor a ghost. Plus, you would never date your boss, right? Right?

You entered the place in awe looking at the amazing interior. The food smells good making you drool in hunger. You went to the empty cashier with Xiao waiting for someone to entertain you. Suddenly, a certain pink head with green by the tips came. A face familiar to you.

"Mitsuri?", you asked. The cashier looked confused. "Huh?" The cashier said in confusion. "Oh, I'm sorry, my girlfriend must have thought she saw you somewhere," Xiao said without any expression making you embarrassed. 'Me? Girlfriend? What?'  "What's the matter?", a voice came. It was Obanai.

"Reincarnation," Xiao whispered.
