Shimigami finishes Yoshi's zipper as he sighs with smile and Shimigami frowns.

"It's missing something." Shimigami says and Yoshi gets confused as she lights up. "Ah, a finishing touch." Yoshi gasps as gold from the chandelier and covers the dress. "Perfect, Oh Master's going to love it Monsieur." For some reason, that made Yoshi smile inside. Would he really like his gown? What would he say? Yoshi's confused about his feelings for Saki, he feels some kind of connection between them but it isn't certain that Yoshi loves him.

"Shimigami, thank you so much for the gown. I love it." Yoshi says and Shimigami smiles brightly as she yawns.

"You're Welcome, if you will excuse me." Shimigami went back to sleep and Yoshi quietly walks away, coming to the children's bedroom. He giggles softly as he see Leona asleep next to her brother and he decides to cover her with a blanket. She smiles warmly in her sleep  Yoshi smiles sadly, looking at her almost completely white hair. A few strands of its original midnight hair still shown, Yoshi sighs as he brushes a strand of hair out of her face.

"I will find a way to break your father's curse, no matter the cost." Yoshi whispers and he kisses her forehead before leaving the room. Saki waiting in the dining room and he gasps as the door opens, revealing Yoshi in his gown.

Saki just stares at Yoshi, making him slightly blush as he looks at Saki softly.

"Yoshi, you look stunning." Saki says and Yoshi smiles.

"Thank you Shredder, you look very handsome as well." Yoshi says as Saki chuckles and he notices something.

"Have you seen Leona, I thought she was joining us for dinner?" Yoshi nods.

"She was, but she feel asleep along with the boys and I did want to wake her. She been under a lot lately, it's better if we let her rest." Saki nods.

"So I guess it just us then?" Yoshi smiles as Saki stretches his hand and he takes it.

"I believe so." Saki guides Yoshi over to his chair and pulls it out, sliding carefully as Yoshi sits down.

They talked and laughed over dinner, Saki listened closely to Yoshi's stories of his love and he shared story of his love: Yoshi. Of course it was unknown to Yoshi the stories were about himself and he became very confusedly jealous of Saki's old love interest, he didn't understand why. Yoshi gasps in surprise as they start hear music and Saki frowns.

"I believe they're ready for us Shredder." Yoshi says as he gets out of his chair and Saki sighs, grabbing Yoshi's attention. "What is it Shredder?"

"It's been awhile since I've dance with a partner." Saki admits as Yoshi walks toward him and Saki stands up, still looking away. "I'm not sure if I remember how." Yoshi smiles sadly and grabs Saki's hand, making the mutant beast's heart race.

"Then let me help you rekindle the memory." Yoshi and Saki walk into the ballroom. Yoshi drags Saki to the middle of the ballroom and moves his hands into position, one on his waist the another holding Yoshi's hand. Saki gulps, looking away from Yoshi's eyes and Yoshi uses his hand to fix his eyes right back on me. "Just look at me." The music starts and they become enchanted with the song.

Yoshi's heart flutter as Saki swung him around the room and Saki's heart pounded heavily against his chest as he looked into Yoshi's warm hazel eyes. Yoshi blushes slightly as he rests his head against Saki's chest and Saki sighs happily, holding Yoshi so close to him. Yoshi smiles in Saki's chest, remembering the last time he was held like this. The music dies down as Saki and Yoshi walk outside onto balcony and they sit on a bench. Saki looks at Yoshi with a loving look.

"Yoshi?" Saki asks and Yoshi looks at him.

"Yes Shredder?" Saki grabs Yoshi's hand, making Yoshi feel a shock of electricity run into his hand as he looks into Saki's eyes.

"Are you.....happy here, with me?" Yoshi sighs sadly with a smile.

"I am, but one can't be truly happy without their freedom." Saki nods sadly and Yoshi sighs. "I just wish to see my son, one last time." Saki smiles.

"There is a way, come with me." They walk to the West Wing and Saki smiles finding the object to help Yoshi's desire, his magic mirror. He shows it to Yoshi as he hands it to him. "This mirror will show you anything you wish to see, all you have to do is ask." Yoshi nods and stands close to Saki.

"I'd like to see my son, please." Yoshi winces from the bright before he and Saki gasp in horror. In the mirror was Donatello being beaten with clubs. "Oh god, my son! He's sick and pale and beaten, and he's alone." Saki sighs, frowning sadly. He knows what he must do, he turns away from the mirror.

"Then go to him." Yoshi's eyes widen in shock.

"What did you just say?" Saki nods and looks back at Yoshi, slight tears in his eyes.

"I release you, you are no longer my prisoner. Go rescue your son." Yoshi smiles.

"Thank you for understanding how much he needs me." Yoshi tries to hand the mirror, but Saki pushes it closer to his chest.

"Take it with you, at least as a way to remember us by. Remember me." Yoshi smiles with his tears in his eyes.

"I will always remember you, Shredder." Saki smiles sadly as Yoshi runs off to get ready to leave. The staff and the servants turn to their master with a smile, then are stuck with confusion from Saki's expression.

"Master? What happened?" Tigerclaw asks as Saki looks at the roses, sighing at the five petals left on the stem.

"I let go him." Saki says, making everyone gasp.

"Shredder, how could you?" Bebop asks in disbelief.

"I had to."

"Yes true, but why? Why now?" Saki frowns hard, his heart heavy with grief.

"Because, I love him." Saki looks at everyone. "It was pleasure to have you all servant and take care of me and I'm sorry to let you down. Please, I would like to left alone." Everyone nods in defeat leaving their master to his thoughts (Video Below).

Saki watches Yoshi leaves on his horse Maria, a tear running down his face as another rose petal fell. Yoshi looks back at the castle, one last time before handing into the woods. He couldn't help but feel guilty for leaving Saki and his children, but his son needs his help. He just hopes it's not too late.
