Reunion

"Haha, finally you've arrived, Kenshin." Master Shen smiled at Kenshin as he sat with Yasushi. "We've been waiting for you here every day for a long time. I never lost faith in my apprentice. I knew you would come."

Yasushi stood up and walked over to Kenshin and Makoto. After shaking hands with Yasushi, Kenshin jumped onto the master and hugged him tightly.

"Hahahaa, so someone has finally learned that they are my grandson. How surprising, isn't it, Yasushi? I have a grandson, and he's a chosen one."

"Yes, master, I was surprised when you first told me about it. It's still very surprising."

"Hehehee," the master began to affectionately stroke Kenshin's hair. "How are you, Kenshin? I know you've been through some tough times there."

"I'm fine, grandpa... I'm perfectly fine," Kenshin's voice was calm and bright.

"Um... can I join you guys too?" Makoto had her eyes fixed on both of them.

"Hahahaa, of course, my girl, come on. Both of you are like my children." Makoto smiled joyfully and joined their embrace. "Hey Yasushi, don't hold back, the big day has finally come. The great reunion is happening. There's nothing to keep you away from this scene."

"W- whatever you say, master." Yasushi approached hesitantly and joined in the big, loving hug. It was a long and affectionate embrace.

"All right, my children, now I suppose you know where Yu is." Kenshin nodded as he sat across from the master with Makoto. "Good, I knew you were smart, son."

"Hey Kenshin, I still can't believe he's your grandfather." Makoto leaned in close to Kenshin's ear and began to whisper. "Please, this is not the time for this, my dear Makoto."

"Ah!" Makoto yelped as she was hit by a pebble on her head. Kenshin couldn't help but grin at Makoto's reaction. "Hey come on, Kenshin..." Makoto looked at Kenshin with a pout against his smiling face. "Hahaa, okay, okay, Makoto." Makoto turned away without saying anything more against Kenshin's smiling face. Kenshin sighed deeply. He had really missed Makoto. The master looked at the sweet couple with a smile.

"Now, I must tell you about the prophecy. This prophecy emerged when the twin gods sealed themselves into the twin swords. The chosen siblings who will disrupt the order, and the new chosen ones who will open the door to a new generation after them, that is, you; Kenshin and Yasushi. The prophecy has brought us this far, but I don't know what will happen in the end. My ancestors didn't care much about this end as there had never been chosen siblings before, but I was the master of those two chosen siblings. And I had to think about this end. When I met you, my children, my hope that this end will result in something wonderful for all of us increased. I trust you, my boys."

"I won't let your trust down, master." Yasushi knelt before the master.

"Neither will I, master." Kenshin also knelt in the same manner.

"Well... I will do the same, master." Makoto, feeling left out, also knelt among them. "Hahaa, my children, there's no need for you to do this. I trust you. I'm sure you will completely destroy that darkness. Now, get up and let's move on to the final training for the final battle."

All three nodded and followed Master Shen. The ultimate battle was very close.
