Hiroto who was enjoying his life was suddenly awakened by the arrival of his father, The Heavenly Emperor. He was so engrossed with his life that he had completely forgotten that today was his last day on earth. "You have done very well my son, it is time for you to come home", said his father who was beaming with pride. Hiroto on the other hand had a mixed feeling about it. His master who was standing beside his father looked straight in his eyes and smiled for the first time. Hiroto was taken aback by his action, but he was suddenly reminded of the growing belly of his beloved. He and Sakura had already reached the point of no return. They had taken the greatest step out of love but had failed to realize the consequences of their actions. When Hiroto was informed about her state the first thing that came to his mind was that he now had two people to protect. Sakura who was scared about how other people would perceive her was reassured by him. Hiroto had also promised her that he would marry her and that he would love only her and their child till his last breath. Hiroto's words had uplifted Sakura of all the burden and anxiety which had mostly drowned her.
Now Hiroto had to choose between returning to the heaven or staying with her. He was well aware of the fact that once he enters the heavenly realm he was not allowed to return. He looked at his master, but his master's stillness didn't fetch him any answers. Mohiko on the other hand knew exactly what was going on his master's mind but he couldn't really do anything for him. Hiroto's dilemma grew more as he heard his father's words, "if you do not take your responsibility then the girl that you love and the child in her belly will die". Hiroto's eyes grew wider, and he could hardly believe in what he heard. He knelt on the ground and begged, "Heavenly Father anything but that. Please don't hurt them". On seeing his state, the Heavenly Emperor showed a triumphant smile and said, "it all depends on your choice". Mohiko who was a by stander really felt bad for his master but his duties as a keeper held him back. The whole night Hiroto gave a lot of thought about his duties and responsibilities and finally came to a conclusion that he would not leave his lover alone. Before the dawn broke, he packed his bag and took off but before he could cross the threshold, he was stopped in his path by a loud thunder followed by the words, "you have chosen your own path of no return. From this moment on you will be a human", but for Hiroto this oracle was his breakthrough. As soon as it was released the Heavenly Empress also descended on the earth but today, she seemed more like a mother anxious about her child. She took her son in her arms and wailed to the Heavenly Emperor, however, her cries remained unnoticed.
Hiroto bid his mother farewell and asked for her well wishes. No mother would want to be separated from their children and The Heavenly Empress was no exception. Mohiko was wanted to follow his master was asked to give up because now he was an immortal while Hiroto turned into a human. The master who witnessed all this uttered 3 words, "puppets of Fate".
