*A year passed. It's 1871, November 29th..*

*Aiko woke up*

Aiko: "Huh? Where am I? What is going on? Nezuko?"

*Hikaru heard Aiko's voice and came in to the room.*

Hikaru: "Everything's fine...You're with us. The 10 spirits...You've been in a coma for over a year! And we used to be 11, but...Nezuko died. So we're 10. I took care of you all the days you were in the coma..."

Aiko: "Oh...Wait...Nezuko died? What? When? How?"

Hikaru: "No one truly knows. I just found a sword laying next to her body..."

Aiko: "*Has sudden flashbacks*"

Hikaru: "What happened?"

Aiko: "I'm...a monster!"

Hikaru: "Why do you think so?"

Aiko: "I...killed Nezuko...! No wait! Wait...! Not because I hated her or because I was jealous or something, but because she asked me to..."

Hikaru: "You...killed Nezuko?"

Aiko: "I did..."

Hikaru: "*Silence*"

Aiko: "*Silence*"

Hikaru: "I...got to go."

*Hikaru stormed off in tears.*

*Chiaki noticed Hikaru go neat the front door.*

Chiaki: "Where are you going, Hikaru?"

Hikaru: "I...got to go for a walk. I need some fresh air."

*Hikaru was walking in the forest near the monastery. It was a snowy day. Suddenly, Hikaru saw something black in the snow. Something like hair...*

*It was a dark morning so Hikaru made a little light with her ability*

*Then Hikaru slowly touched the pile*

Sayo: "*Oh?*"

Hikaru: "What happened? Who are you?"

Sayo: "My name is Sayo, but you can call me Nezuko!"

Hikaru: "Nezuko?"

Sayo: "Yes?"

Hikaru: "Why do you have two names?"

Sayo: "Well...I remeber my past life! I was named Nezuko. I lived in a monastery and I had a lover named Aiko. I don't remembe anything or anyone else...Just Aiko and the monastery?"

Hikaru: "Oh...You look... - *long pause*"

Hikaru*in mind*: "Her face...It looks exactly like Nezuko's! Just black hair and purple clothing...And she told me to call her Nezuko..."

Sayo: "What? I look what?"

Hikaru: "Nezuko...I remeber you. You were the 11th spirit in my monastery. Want to go home, Nezuko? You're going to meet Aiko"

*Hikaru slightly smiled*

Sayo: "Really?! I'm going to meet Aiko again?"

Hikaru: "Yes, honey! Let's go"

*Hikaru took Sayo (Nezuko) to the monastery.*

Sayo: "Aiko!"

Aiko: "What? Who are you?"

Sayo: "*Smiled*"

Aiko: "Not funny! I don't know you...Ma'am...Who is this girl?"

Hikaru: "Look at her. Just look one more time."

*Aiko looked at Sayo (Nezuko).*

Aiko: "Nezuko?"

Sayo: "Yep, It's me."

*Aiko pulled Sayo (Nezuko) in to a hug and started crying.*

Aiko: "Nezuko, you don't understand! You don't understand how much I missed you! I love you so much, Nezuko...! Please be my love and stay with me! Let's grow up and marry eachother!"

Sayo: "I do understand...I missed you too. But...I have a request for this woman standing beside us."

Hikaru: "Oh? What is it?"

Sayo: "Can I grow up?"

Hikaru: "What?"

Sayo: "Can I not have an ability. Can I just...Be Nezuko. Be mortal. Grow old and die..."

Hikaru: "Are you sure you want that?"

Sayo: "I do! I want to grow up, marry Aiko and die together! I want to live a normal life! I don't need an ability."

Hikaru: "Your wish is granted. No more ability. I let go of you, Nezuko, the previous eleven spirit. Now it's only 10 of us."

*Sayo (Neuzko) and Aiko hugged again*
