Chapter 46:
The Storm Within
10 YEARS LATER
Takehaya and a now pregnant Mary were walking together to the Kami residence. Takehaya showed irritation in the suit that Mary made him wear.
Mary smirked and said, "If you don't like it then you didn't have to wear it."
"But you wouldn't let me." Said Takehaya.
Mary chuckled and snarkily responded, "I know..."
They arrived at the Kami residence which was packed with a lot of people with most being the kids from whom spent their youths in their residence playing to important friends of Yu Kami, ranging from Jin to Yoko.
Entering the house, Takehaya and Mary were greeted by everyone and were congratulated as well.
The two then bumped into Naoya and his wife Elle whom they were holding their 3 year old childrens hands.
Naoya greeted them saying, "Hey bro! Hey Mary! Its been a while."
"Its only been two months." Commented Takehaya.
"Well it feels like its been forever." Said Elle.
"Its nice to see you again after so long..." said Mary, she then knelt down and talked to their kids, Seishiro and Takashi as she said, "And its also nice to see you adorable little monsters as well!"
Both Seishiro and Takashi smiled and giggled cheerfully.
Then out of nowhere, Charao and Yuno appeared behind them.
"Hey Takehaya!" Said Charao.
"Wassup?!" Said Yuno.
Mary, seeing Yuno, immediately hugged her. She said, "Its great to see you again. How you been?"
Yuno answered, "Been doing well with being principal of Toudou Academy and having this goofball as VP isn't that bad. How about you guys?"
Mary chuckled and said, "Same old!"
Takehaya looked from afar and saw Raimei alongside her father as they both got to spend time together as father and daughter after years of seperating. Raimei caught a glimpse of Takehaya and she smiled back and waved to him and so did he.
He saw Tatsuya and Nagata as they walked up to him.
Tatsuya said, "Hey Takehaya."
"Hey Chief, hows it hanging?" Asked Takehaya.
Tatsuya responded, "We've been improving significantly, haven't we?"
Nagata answered, "Yeah, we got some new recruits that are as thrilled and passionate to work with you."
"Well I hope to work with them soon.." said Takehaya.
Then at the front, Luna got on the microphone and made an announcement and sitting beside her was Yu who looked to have barely aged.
She said, "Alright ladies and gentlemen! Thank you all for coming on such a special occassion. As you know, my father Yu Kami is officially stepping down and wishes to use his time on his retirement. And WE, as Yu's children wish to come up stage and say some words for our father."
Luna then called out for both Naoya and Takehaya to come to the stage which they did.
Luna started first as she said, "Father, I just wanted to thank you for raising up to become great warriors like yourself and we hope to honour the Kami legacy moving forward." Everyone clapped after Luna gave her speech.
Naoya was next as he said, "Dad... I'm honestly happy you're stepping down because you were really married to the job than with any other woman."
Everyone laughed after what Naoya said.
"Dumbass." Whispered Takehaya.
Naoya continued, "But jokes aside, I hope we as your kids can keep this legacy that you've worked hard to create, carry on strong."
Everyone clapped after Naoya was done.
It was now Takehaya and he said, "Father... It has been a very rough and rocky journey for us all personally and... despite the mess ups, the mistakes and the actions that I commited... You still saw good in me... Just like my wife, my brother, my sister and everyone who guided me to a better path... And for that, I thank you all!" Takehaya bowed.
Everyone cheered loudly after hearing Takehaya's speech.
"Lets get a photo of all the Kami family members please!" Said a cameraman.
Every family member of Yu, Takehaya, Luna and Naoya all gathered at the front, including Charao, Yuno, Raimei, Jin and Tatsuya as they all had their pictures taken together.
