The day after the wedding all of class one was out on the arena Ichika and the girls had activated their IS, "I gotta say the party was actually pretty fun," Houki commented, "yeah except for the drunken bar fights," Cecilia mentioned because the wedding was a bit "unusual" for the time, when the priest said Shaw could kiss the bride one of his uncles pulled out a shotgun and fired it into the air practically scaring all of Maki's family members.

As they recalled their time crashing the wedding Honne walked up to the gang, "hey guys, are you talking about Shaw's and Maki's wedding?" "yeah why?" Ichika answered her quizzically and rising all of the girls' brows. "Because I sorta crashed it too hehe," she admited nervously, "why are you shaking Nohohon-san?" Ichika asked, but before she can answer that she was blasted square in the chest and was sent flying with her IS in tatters. The group turned to the direction where the blast came from, but were almost too afraid to look to see who fired the shot, but there they saw Shaw standing there braking open the double rifle, replacing the rounds, and doing it all with a frown on his face.

"Brendan you're here, how's the wedding?" Ichika greeted him shaking, "what's with the look on you're fa-," "zip it," Shaw sternly cut Ichika off, "the reason why I shot the little "sneak" is because I knew she crashed my wife's big day, but that's not why I shot her," Shaw noted adding in two new rounds, "I shot Honne because she toppled all the wedding gifts on my poor aunt sending her to the hospital," Shaw angrily said.

"Okay, what does any of that got to do with us?" Houki asked nervously with her hands up, "because I know all of you jackasses were there too, so now I'm gonna shove a boot up all your asses," Shaw retorted threatenly and Ichika and the girls gulped and started running for the lives.

Yesterday at the wedding

Ichika, Houki, Cecilia, Charlotte, and Laura had successfully infiltrated the party; the party was pretty much in a series of fairly large tents that Shaw's family were happy to provided along with food of their own. One man from Shaw's side was providing soup to the party guest, walking up to a table where a little japanese girl sat playing with a stuffed toy of a rabbit (no it's not Maki's sister), "hey kid? do you like bunnies?" he asked. The girl looked up to him with a big smile, "I love bunnies," "you wanna know what we call rabbits?" the girl nods her head, "food," he bluntly answers with a smile. The girl's jaw dropped, holding her toy even tighter, and the next thing you know she was running while screaming.

From their table both Maki and Shaw look at the little girl running across the tent screaming, "this gonna be long night," Maki stated calmly next to Shaw, "well you better buckle up sweetheart because this party hasn't even started yet," Ben advised Maki handing her a slice of cake which she happily accepts.

As the party got into the second hour the Akauras started to learn more and more about the family that took in Shaw, most oddly when one of Maki's grandaunts met an old familiar face of one of Ben's cousions who is also a vet sent to fight in the pacific, "Mr. O'Mally," she addressed coldly obviously mad at the old war vet, who he on the other hand was actually happy to see her. "Oh I see you're following me now, I knew you couldn't get enough of this man," he mocked, annoying her catching the attention of the two wedded couple, "aww shit," Shaw sighed.

As the two argued over on what happened at the back of a U.S. M35 truck and then doing it with her best friend after that in Oita, Honne was snopping around, but before she can get far she was spotted by one of Shaw's friends, "hey hey you gotta come with me," he grabbed Honne by the shoulder and escorts her to one of Maki's family members, but he didn't seem to be on to her. The person the man took Honne to was another girl in witch surprisingly looks just like her, "see she looks just like you," he stated, "wow she does, is she with you?" the lookalike said, "I thought she was your twin?" "I don't have a sister," she addressed, "so wait who the fuck is this then," the man asked and Honne backed away slowly backing up to a tower of wedding presents knocking it over onto a poor frail middle-age women standing behind it.

"AAAAAAHH!" the women screamed catching everyone's attention, "MY BACK! WHAT'S IN THESE GIFTS?" she moaned in pain; everyone rushed to get the boxes off of her all the while Honne snuck away, "well that's was disastrous," Cecilia commented while enjoying a slice of cake. Shaw pulls in one of the helps telling him to check the guest list in which the gang took it as their que to leave.

The Arena

"Oh c'mon Brendan-san we didn't mean to-," Ichika try to apologize, but was cut off when a bullet zipped right over him, "COME BACK HERE AND DIE LIKE A MAN!" Shaw roared.

The next day

In the classroom without their teachers everyone mingled around talking and Shaw seemed to be in a better mood, "Okay we're sorry we crashed your wedding do you forgive us now," Houki apologized to Shaw with his feet propped up on the desk and leaning back on his chair, "uhh... No, not yet," "what? why?" Ichika wondered, "wait for it," Shaw advised holding a hand to his ear. For a moment Ichika and the girls tried to listen what Shaw was trying to hear, for a moment it is was silent, but then they heard a loud crashing noise coming from somewhere.

"What was that?" Laura asked, "that my friend is the sound of an airbag going of in class two," Shaw informed, that's when they realized that Shaw planted an airbag in Rin's seat. However as the group talked Shaw had recived a phone call from Maki, "yes darling?... you just had your ultrasound scan... you're sending the pictures right now," Shaw repeated whatever Maki said. Shaw switched to his messages and found the photo Maki had sent everyone had been listing in to Shaw's phone call and they all had gathered behind him to see the picture, "is it a boy or a girl? c'mon Shaw-san tell us," one of the girls asked growing impatient.

Shaw stared at the black and white lines of the picture, seeing the lines taking shape; Shaw sat there speechless to what he's seeing "... it's both," he finally said, "we're having twins," to what he stated the girls cheered and congratulated Shaw, "that's great news Brendan," Ichika congrats to him, but seem to notice him shedding tears. Tears of joy. "Shaw-san why are you crying?" one of the girls asked, "... I'm... Just happy... That's all."

End of school day

Ichika and the girls walking down the hall on their way to Shaw's dorm to give him and Maki a gift for their unborn childern, "do you think they'll like the gift we picked for the babies," Charlotte asked holding a wrapped box, "I'm sure they love it," Ichika reassured. However when they reached Shaw's dorm the notice stackes of boxes outside of the room, "what's going on here?" said Laura gazing through the boxes. The gang walked into the dorm and saw that Maki and Shaw were packing up their belongings, "Brendan-san what are doing?" Ichika asked, "what's it look like we're doing? were moving out," Shaw told them.

The group were completely surprised to what they heard, "what? why?" the all asked, "we can't rise two kids in a small little dorm, we need a bigger home for our children," Maki told them, the group can see Maki's belly has grown twice in size for bearing two growing infants. "What about the academy?" Houki inquiry, Shaw and Maki glanced at each other, "I'll be still attending the academy," Maki said, "but I'm being called to service," Shaw informed them surprising them, "I need work to provide for my family guys so I'm not coming back to the academy."

"But, it hasn't even been a year and you're already leaving," Charlotte said sadly, "hey no tears, soldiers don't cry," Shaw tried to comfort, Charlotte put on a smile, "well... We brought you two a gift for your babies," Charlotte handed the gift to Maki. Unwrapping the and opening it Maki pulled out two neatly knitted blankets one red and the other blue, "they're wonderful Charlotte the kids will love them," Maki complimented. "What're gonna name your kids?" Rin asked, "we're naming them both Sam," Shaw said quickly, "like Samuel and Samantha?" Cecilia responded, "no we're not naming them both Sam, that'll confuse them," Maki interjected, "c'mon it'll be hilarious," Shaw said.

"How about we name our daughter after my grandmother and our son after your grandfather?" Maki suggested and Shaw gave her a smile, "yeah. I'll like that," Shaw spoke softly.

Outside the movers helped loaded all of Maki's and Shaw's possessions onto the truck on rout to their new home, "where're you guys be living?" Rin asked, "not far, Maki needs to get to the academy easy enough so she won't fall behind," Shaw answered. The group took a moment of silence seeing that it's going to be a long time til they see each other again, "well. I guess this goodbye," Ichika spoke, "I'll admit it, I'm gonna miss you guys," Shaw said, "I'm not," said Chifuyu coming to see Shaw leave.

Shaw walks up to her all amused, "c'mon it's your only chance," "only chance for what?" Chifuyu responded, "to give me one good shot in my face," Shaw provided, and Chifuyu tried to deny it, "I know you wanna," Shaw tempted, "c'mon give to me, your best shot, what's wrong, you got sand in your-," Shaw was knocked to the ground by one good punch right between the eyes laying him flat on his face, "... Ugh... That all you got," he spoke all dazed.

Helping him up Shaw said his goodbyes, "well this is it, Charlie kick some ass, Ichika keep working out, Houki do whatever it is that you do, Cecilia always remember that three-way you, Maki, and I had that night," everyone eyed Cecilia making her burn red, "Rin wished I could've kicked your ass," "in your dreams," "and Laura," Shaw leans in close to her, "if you ever need help... disposing someone. Give me a call," Shaw hands her a secret phone number which Laura swiftly takes and nods.

The couple hop in to the truck and waved goodbye before disappearing over the horizon.

In the arena

Ichika and the girls walked out to the arena feeling like something was missing now that Shaw was gone, but they spotted someone that is completely out of the ordinary it was big fat man wearing what looks like an IS training suit with the sleeves removed, and his hair tied in a bun, "Akio-san?" they all announced in unison. Akio turned around and had the biggest smile, "what up!" he loudly greeted, "you're enrolling into the academy? what about going pro?" Ichika wondered, "that can wait, right now I'm here to lay down some hurt," "that's the spirit," Cecilia encouraged.

Akio was one of the first to be called up to duel the girl on the other end smirked thinking she had it in the bag, she activated her IS and Akio his; Akio's IS covered his shoulders, wrists, shins, and chest, appearing to be plated, however what really send the message was when Akio lifted one foot up high and brought right back down taking his stance. The stomp was enough to make the ground crack and the girl realized she was in big trouble, "READY!" Chifuyu roared, "FIGHT!"

The End
