While Kenichi was preparing himself for a beating Elder Hayato, Kensei Ma and Akisame Koetsuji were standing in front of a bed where a beautiful women was lying. Beside her bed were medical equipments such a ecg, brain scanner, heart rate monitor and such were present connected to her.

"Are you sure that she is getting better Akisame!?" asked Elder Hayato.

"Yes, Elder both me and Kensei had checked her vitals and we are sure that she will be waking up quite soon" Akisame.

"Yeah! Don't worry about her much Elder, I am sure she will be fine now" Kensei said.

"I am just sad that as her Father-in-law I couldn't protect her. If it weren't for her will to live I am not even sure that I could have kept her alive until you two came!" Elder Hayato sighed after thinking if that memory.

"Well since we are on the topic, let me ask you this Elder! When are you going to tell Miu about her now that she is close to awakening soon don't you think you should tell her about her Mother being alive!?" asked Akisame.

"*sigh* I hid about Shizuha being alive because I didn't wanted to risk her life and i wasn't even sure if she was going to live, hence I didn't told Miu as well so as to not give her hope. She had already accepted the fact that her mother is dead and if she found out that she was alive and in such condition she would have left everything aside just to take care of her and I couldn't let her destroy her life when we weren't even sure if Shizuha will wake up at all. I owed to Shizuha that I made sure her daughter lives a great life." said Elder Hayato.

"Then what about now Elder!? She is going to wake up pretty soon. Hell, She may even wake up today as well!" said Kensei.

"Let's just Shizuha tell her when she wakes up! I don't think I would be able to tell her about it" said Elder Hayato.

"Well that could be a good surprise for Miu I think!" Kensei said.

"Why only Miu!? I think it would be a great surprise for everyone." Akisame added.

"That's true! ha ha ha ha....." Kensei said as he laughed.

*Beep Beep Beep Beep* As they were talking the machine connected to Shizuha started to make noise.

"WH-What is happening!?" asked Elder Hayato in surprise.

"Her vitals are fine, Akisame!?" Kensei said as he let go of her wrist then asked Akisame about the machine.

"He brain waves just spiked!" replied Akisame.

"That means-" "Yes,she is waking up!" said Akisame interrupting Kensei.

"What!!?" Elder Hayato said as he stood right in front of Shizuha's bed to look at her.

Looking carefully at her he saw that her eyes were opening slowly and just as she opened her eyes she looked around her surrounding and the first words that came out of her mouth were "Miu!!"

Seeing Shizuha awake and speaking Elder's eyes were filled with tears"She is fine Shizuha! Your daughter is fine and has grown into a great women"

Hearing that Shizuha's eyes teared up as she said "Thank God! She is fine that's all that matters."

"Of course she is fine you had protected her well enough so that I could take over" said Elder Hayato.

"I want to meet her Father!" said Shizua.

Hearing Shizuha call her father Elder couldn't help but tear up as he nodded her head and said "OK, we will go home and meet her"

"Before you can move we have to make sure that you are fine let us do some check ups on you after which we all can go back together" Akisame didn't tried to stop her because he knew that she had already waited more then 15 years to see her daughter and there was no way she was waiting for another day.

Though Shizuha wanted to go right now but even she knew that she didn't even had the strength to stand up properly so there was no way she could move, hence after the promise from the elder that he would personally help her if she couldn't walk after Akisame and Kensei had done their medical procedures and help her regain some strength.

After 3 hours treatment and rest Shizuha was good enough to move but not fast to run. Though that was not needed since they were going to travel through taxi.

1 hour later they were standing in front of Ryozanpaku dojo, Shizuha couldn't control herself and moved forward to push the door open but her strength was not even on the level of a normal human so how could she open the door.

"Don't strain yourself Shizuha!? You have just woken up from a long sleep you don't have the strength that you used to have before." said Elder Hayato as he pushed open the door for Shizua.

"Apa apa apa!! Elder is back! Where is my souvenir!?" asked Apachai.

"I didn't went out of town Apachai so there are no souvenir but I did brought a new family member for Ryozanpaku! Here meet my daughter-in-law and Miu's mother Shizuha" said Elder Hayato.

"Ohh!! Hello my name is Apachai Hopachai it's nice to meet you!" said Apachai with a smile.

"Hello, My name is Shizuha Furiniji" said Shizua bowing her head to Apachai.

"Umm.... Where is Miu!?" asked Shizuha.

"Miu and Kenichi haven't come back yet!" replied Apachai.

"Kenichi! Who is that!?" asked Shizuha.

"He is Kenichi Shirahama the disciple of Ryozanpaku and we all are his masters!" stated Akisame as he and Kensei entered the dojo gate.

"Yes! Apachai is his master as well. Apachai taught him Muay Thai" said Apachai with huge grin on his face.

"Not only us but even Elder have taught him a little" added Kensei.

"Hmnp! Maybe that's why he thinks he can date my granddaughter along with other women. Just let him come today I will show him" said Elder as his eyes shone as he knew that Kenichi must have done something to his granddaughter otherwise he wouldn't be feeling like this.

"What!?"
