Epilogue: Nocturne of the Night

"An-chan, you can't be serious!" Yumoto cried, "I sealed Hireashi away for good!"

"Yes, I know." Gora spoke, "But you aren't ready."

"Aren't ready?!" Yumoto hissed, "That's a stupid statement!"

"Yumoto, please."

"Don't Yumoto please, me!"

Gora frowned and Yumoto stormed off.

Sulfur looked down as Yumoto looked at him, "I0-senpai…is something wrong with me?"

"N-no!"

Yumoto looked down, "Oh…thanks."

Sulfur smiled softly as Yumoto left and Vesta looked down as Yumoto went to his room.

Yumoto sighed as he sat in the dinning room. He looked up as he saw his footman come in with rice balls, "Here you are, Prince Scarlet."

Yumoto frowned, "Thank you…"

He picked at the rice balls and gasped as he saw Wombat. "Wom-san?"

Wombat ignored him and Yumoto pushed the food away, "I'm not hungry…"

Wombat gasped and Yumoto looked at his footman, "Um…these smell…funny."

The footman looked at him, "These were just made with fresh ingredients…"

"I know, but smell it!"

The footman groaned and smelled it, "Wait a minute…" He quickly took it away.

The God of Food frowned, "What is it?"

"Poison, smell it."

The God did and gasped, "That can kill the heir…we must make a few plates for the heir, then we check each one and make sure he'll be okay."

The footman nodded, "Alright."

"And make sure, no one comes in here, because we don't know who did it."

"Yes, sir."

A woman with long black hair and red eyes smirked as she stood in front of a mirror, watching the heir and his suitor.

"Look at them…they got rid of Hireashi!" her voice hissed, "Dear Natsumi was wise to keep her son hidden away for so long...but since he became the God of Love for a few years, I found him."

"Mother!" a teenager's voice spoke, "When will the heir be gone?"

"Soon!" She hissed, hair flying up in anger, "You will be patient! The heir will be gone when destiny lets him!"

"Mama!" another spoke, "He got rid of papa!"

"Yes…he tore dear Hireashi from me…but don't worry, I will get him."

"Hurry…" a third growled, "I hate the heir!"

"Yes I KNOW" The woman shrieked, "Now prepare for the battle of a lifetime, my triplets!"

Yumoto looked up from his balcony, he sighed as the night air became chilly. He groaned as he turned to go inside, as he did, he walked past a mirror.

A silhouette of a woman appeared and hissed "I will destroy you…"

Yumoto froze and turned to it quickly, as he did, the silhouette was gone and Yumoto quickly ran to his guardians.

As he did, Wombat and Hashibiro watched him. "There the heir is, we must do what she has asked us to."

Wombat nodded, "Yes, sadly the heir must be gone before we can prosper…"

Hashibiro smirked, "Lady Kiryoku…child bearer of Hireashi…she claims to be the shadow of Lady Natsumi, while others say she is the ex-girlfriend of Lord Yukiteru."

Wombat nodded, "Yes, we must do what she has asked…"

Kiryoku appeared in the shadows and began laughing, "Yes, they're both under my control now…the heir won't stand a chance…"

She watched as the heir ran to his lessons and disappeared in a shadow orb.

Yumoto looked up as he sighed, Araki kissed him softly and the duo watched Haruki and Hiroki talking and laughing…

"Hireashi is gone…so now I think life is normal too." Araki smiled and Yumoto blushed, "Yeah…hopefully. I can't take any more of the demon stuff…oh! Yuudai, Yuuma!"

Yuudai smiled and hugged Yumoto, "Thank you! Thank you!"

"You're welcome." Yumoto smiled and Yuudai giggled, "You brought Yuuma home and Katashi and I are back and happy! Mimi was found too! You fixed us all."

Yuuma looked down and blushed, "I live with the God of Night now."

Yumoto giggled, "I'm so glad I could help you both."

Araki watched as they all talked and looked up…maybe this time peace could be here, he was getting tired of demons. He laughed to himself, Yami, the God of Truth was right, using Hireashi really was getting boring!

Yumoto looked at Araki, "Araki-kun! Come on!"

Araki smiled as the boy he loved grabbed his arm.

He looked down at the boy's sunshine colored hair…this God of Light was the best at his job, and maybe he'll be the God of Love again one day.

-Love is Over!-
