『Recap:』

"I can't move her time forward..." Mirai said. "Honorable lord and lady no. 7... Does this means she......

Has no more time left?....."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"No more time left?.....Wha...." Minamoto Kou muttered in disbelief. He then got angry as he glared at the two seventh mystery, who were currently hugging the motionless Yashiro Nene, as if their life depends on her.

"What does that means?! Hanako, Hatsume!"

"It means just what it sounds like, young man." An elderly male voice spoke through as they touched Kou's head.

"Whoaa!" Kou could feel his clock moving backwards as his future self reverted back to the current, middle schooler he is. Kou frantically touched himself. "I'm back?!"

"Well, well. Look who finally decided to grace upon us with his presence." Akane sighed in annoyance. He then glared at the figure. "We wouldn't have to deal with any of this If you were here from the start....

You really are twisted. Kako..."

The Clock Keeper of the past, laughed in amusement. "Ho-ho-ho...Please. I'm never late. Because all I have to do is turn back time, and everything returns to it's former state..."

"Turn back time?" Kou looked at Akane, still gripping through his blonde locks. "You mean he's the third?!"

"Yes." Akane quickly answered. "The clock keeper who governs the past. He has the power to turn back time. He's kinda our leader, since his the oldest."

"He governs the past?" Kou asked, he then paused for a moment and thought about it.

"So you call him 'Kako' because it means past?"

"Who cares what the supernaturals' names are..." Akane asked, bluntly. "Anyways, Isn't there something you should be more concern about, under-classman?"

"Oh yeah!" Kou exclaimed, remembering the current situation. He then turn to face the two supernatural, holding the daikon legged girl. "Senpai... What happened to her? Come on, Hanako! Hatsume! Explain what's going on?!"

"....This...This is why we told you..." Hanako lifted his head to face the exorcist. His expression shows sadness. "We told you, not to let the future clock keeper touch, Yashiro... We told you to be careful..."

Kou flinched at this.

"It's simple!" Hanako stood up and grinned. He then pointed at Mirai, who was now giggling on Kako's arms. "She tried to move Yashiro's time forward. But Yashiro didn't have enough time to move forward."

"...B-but... It's not l-like we manage to s-stop, Mirai-chan either..." Hatsume finally spoke up, Hanako and Kou turn towards her. "So...We c-can blame really blame you, Kou-kun..."

"...Hatsume..." Kou muttered, he then felt remorse as Hatsume look up at him. Tears falling from her (e/c) eyes as she gave Kou a gentle smile.

Hanako approached her and gently help her place, their unresponsive assistant on a nearby corner of the room, infront of the curtains. They both stood up.

The two seventh mystery turned to face Kou, hands intertwine.

"Yashiro/Nene-chan is going to die. Within the next year." The two supernaturals said in unison. This made Kou's eyes widened in shock.
