well with this half of the story is solved :3

but first things first...the fight between matsuri and aono...pretty much standard stuff with aono throwing deadly papercuts left right and center and with matsuri dodging for her life...
matsuri tries to hide in a train cargo but aono springs her trap...causing some steel beams to fall on top of her...



and here we have a half dead matsuri...aono tries to give her the finishing blow but stops as her inner child yells for it (lol literally) ~



she then leaves and yorito arrives with mana...he has a spaz attack and is taken away by mana...while matsuri still tries to hide from him...



a little intermediate before the real action picks up again...takeshi finds the location of mayuko but when he gets there he only sees matsuri...that is because mayuko went onto the train before matsuri who was trying to take the bag of food she forgotten...



then theres another fight...sheesh they just wont give matsuri a break

neways yes theres the fight...but more importantly is takeshi's flashback...so the truth is revealed...heres a shot of young takeshi and young mayuko...



it seems that he has a crush on her...but on the day of her birthday she was killed...and he looses it...



but while he was about to leave saying his last wishes he sees a bloodied up mayuko behind the trees...he is overjoyed to see her alive but then she tells him that she is a yaka...matsuri had came by and made her into a yaka...she then walks out of the shadows telling young takeshi that she is no longer human...(i think at this point she wanted to die...)



but he wont allow it to happen...he tells her that he will find a cure...no matter what it takes this is his promise...



and with the cat out of the bag we continue with the fight...matsuri is outsmarted and this happens...T.T



and while takeshi was about to give the finishing blow mayuko jumps in front and stops him...why!!!! (says takeshi in pain) ~ he thinks that if he kills matsuri mayuko would turn back...but that isnt true...mayuko puts her arms around him and tells him her real wish...is to see takeshi's smile again...*im in tears ;__;*



we then see a flashback of the good moments she has had with him all this time while he has been growing up...



thoughts...
well ive been outdone again! so the title was referring with takeshi and mayuko...a pair i have totally overlooked >.< but boy was it touching...all that is left is for matsuri and yorito to have their happy end

Spoiler:

I don't know how much more abuse Matsuri can take. She has gotten stabbed by Yorito (ala proxy for Aono) to the gut and is still healing; she then gets attacked by Aono who nearly finishes her off; then Takeshi knocks her off a crane and slams into the cold concrete below. T_T She didn't put up much of a fight against Aono, and tried to put up some resistance against Takeshi.

OMG... can't they just leave Matsuri alone. Please. >_<

But, it seems that Takeshi and Mayuko were never related at all. They, too, are pretty much like a tragic love story as well. Just as Deathkillz mentioned, it was also one couple I overlooked given the lack of details given until now. Poor Takeshi, imagine if Mayuko was never turned into a Yaka and never gotten killed, where would they be now? Time has stayed still for Mayuko, while Takeshi has grown older. That's terrible. Only if there is a way to reverse this...

Now, we have confirmation that Matsuri did indeed revive Mayuko. I think Matsuri has a bigger heart than Aono at this point. She's revived two people out of sympathy, I assume. Aono is still going after Yorito and wants to literally erase Matsuri, luckily she didn't give the final blow. She went so far to go to Mana's house, thank goodness Mana is keeping Yorito there.

At least, Takeshi's and Matsuri's issues is hopefully concluded by now. All that's left is Aono x Matsuri x Yorito.
