Ellen's POV

I sat on Akane as one of Road's door appeared. "Until we meet again, exorcists," I sang as I flew through the door.

'Gomen nasai that I betrayed your trust like this, Eunice.'

Once I entered the ark, I immediately headed to the dining room. It was the most logical place to look for everyone, seeing as it is dinner time. When I entered, I managed to duck just in time before a pan of whipped cream pie hit me.

I looked at the direction where the pie came from to see who threw the pie at me. I saw Road but it appears that no one in the room has yet to notice me. I took this chance to grab a layer of dark chocolate mousse cake and threw it at her. It hit her square on the face. Road wiped it off and grabbed another pie. She was about to throw it but stopped when she noticed me.

"ELLY-NEE?!" Road shouted before she tackled me. Everyone turned to look at me.

"Okairi, Otou-san, mina-san," I grinned.

"Tadaima, Ellen-chan," Otou-san greeted.

I was greeted by everyone. However, when I looked around, I noticed that Tyki was missing.

"Where is Tyki-pon, Otou-san?" I asked.

"I sent him on a mission to gather a piece of Innocence," Otou-san answered.

"When is he going to come back?" I asked.

"He should be back in a few hours. As for now, we shall celebrate your return."

It felt good to be back with my family.

A few hours later

Tyki's POV

I just got back from the mission of destroying the Innocence that belonged to the Fallen One. After I had finished my report, I entered the room. I was about to lie down on the bed when the bathroom door opened. I looked to see who it was. I was surprised to see that it was Ellen. I pinched myself to see if I was dreaming. I wasn't. I went to her and pulled her into a breathtaking kiss.

"Since when did you get back from her mission?" I asked once we finished kissing.

"Around...4...to 5...hours ago," Ellen panted.

I pulled her into another kiss while simultaneously dragging her to the bed.
