The story continues...

 ' If Wei Sheung stays with me, who can pay the debt for her family? I'm just a poor farmer... Who would take care of her old father and her two little sisters?' Kaika continued. 'Anyway, only Wei Sheung herself can decide whom she is going to marry, not me.' He stood up. 'The wind is getting more chilly. Let's go home together.'
  On the way home, Chi Fan fell into a deep thought. 'If someone can pay the debt for Wei Sheung's family, Kaika can live happily with his loved one.'
  Since then, Chi Fan visited Wei Sheung everyday to help her preparing all she needed for the wedding. It was decided to use the Konan's marriage ceremony because there was the home country of her future husband. Noticing Wei Sheung was getting more weary and weary day after day, Chi Fan really wanted to help her and Kaika by any means...
  Suddenly Chi Fan came up with a crazy idea...
  At last, it was the night before the wedding day. The sky was so clear at the night of the early winter. Ignoring the chilly wind, Kaika went outside of his house and sat under a tree nearby. He wanted to cool down himself. Looking at himself really much like a coward, he hate himself having no courage to elope with Wei Sheung , or at least having a fight with her future husband. There was a teardrop running down his face. Then the other one. He sobbed for his uselessness.
  In the meantime, the sound of the opening door alerted Kaika. He hid behind the tree at once and saw Chi Fan went out quickly, walking towards the direction of Wei Sheung's house.
  'Chi Fan has been so enthusiastic about Wei Sheung's wedding.' Thought Kaika. 'But doesn't she even know that even Wei Sheung is married, I will not be so easily changed to love her?'

Unless there is a miracle, I won't love Chi Fan.
Unless there is a miracle, Wei Sheung will not be my wife.
Unless...
  Kaika was very tired after his sobbing. He nearly fell asleep when looking at the sky.
  'Brother!' heard Kaika unexpectedly and opened his eyes. However, nothing was there but just a very bright star in the sky.
  'Brother, don't hesitate, seek for your love!' Kaika heard that voice again while he was looking around. When he was looking at the bright star again, the star beams penetrating through his eyes and stimulating his brain. Just for a while all memories of his early life, which seemed to be lost, rushed back to him. He was like seeing a movie about himself.
The short happy family life with his real parents and his twin brother...
The moment of his parent's death during a war...
The first time he saved his brother who had got a high fever...
The first mission when being one of the Senshi of Seiryuu...
The time when he got drown in the flooding river in Konan...
The time when he saw Miaka again at the bottom of a cliff...
The last time being saved by his brother, being kissed with his herbal medicine...
And... the last sentence said by his brother, 'Sorry, I love Yui.'
  'Suboshi, where are you now?' asked Kaika and suddenly realized that it had already been the next day.
  I was Amiboshi.
  'Kaika, father and I are going to attend Wei Sheung's wedding party. Please look after our house. Mother.' Kaika went inside his house. A note was placed on the dining table.
  Yes, today was Wei Sheung's wedding day.
Through the window, he saw Chi Fan was running back here from very far away. But he found that something strange when she was getting nearer and nearer... Oh! She was not Chi Fan! She was Wei Sheung in Chi Fan's clothes! What had happened? Kaika immediately opened the door and let Wei Sheung come in.
  'Kaika!' Wei Sheung was so puzzled and exhausted that she fell into Kaika's embrace.
  'What... What has happened?' Kaika felt like being in a dream that Wei Sheung was in his arms again.
  'Stop Chi Fan immediately. She ...she visited me last night and brought me some soup. I fell asleep soon after drinking it. When I woke up again I found that everyone was gone and I was left in Chi Fan's clothes! Chi Fan is going to marry my future husband for me! We can't let her do that. It's so unfair to her! Oh, yes. Here. Here is a letter for you which is found in her clothes.' Wei Sheung gave Kaika the letter immediately.
  ' Dear Kaika, I have been very happy to live with your family and you since I came to this peaceful village. I have learnt a lot here. You are the first person who makes me realize what love really is. When I saw Wei Sheung and you getting sad and weary for each other because of her coming wedding, I know I have to do something for you both to repay your caring love.
  'Kaika, this is the last time that I have a chance to say "I love you". Because of you, I am going to get married for Wei Sheung. In this way, that merchant would pay for the debt as he would think I'm Wei Sheung. Please tell Wei Sheung that I'll take care of her family. Therefore, Kaika please, take up some courage and elope with Wei Sheung. You two love each other so much that you two should stay together. Don't worry about me. I'm ready to be a wife of anyone who can take care of me. I only need someone that I can rely on and that merchant seems to be the one.
  'Last but not least, thanks again for taking care of me. Please take care of yourself and live with Wei Sheung happily. With Love, Chi Fan.'
  'I have misunderstood Chi Fan... I'm such a fool!' Thought Kaika.
  'She is so silly... What should we do? The wedding ceremony is about to start!' Said Wei Sheung after reading through the letter with Kaika.
  'Only Chichiri can bring us there immediately...'
  'Chichiri?'
  'Yes, Chichiri.' Kaika concentrated his mind and said, 'Chichiri, please come out!'
  'I am here no da!' Suddenly a monk-like person appeared from a hat in front fo Kaika. ' Amiboshi, long time no see no da!'
  'Amiboshi?' Wei Sheung was even more puzzled.
  'Although your "ki" is quite weak, I can sense it still. What can I help you?'
  'Please stop Chi Fan from marrying the one she doesn't love immediately.' Said Kaika.
  'No need... She will live happily with that man.' Said Chichiri after calculating something with his finger.
  'But she has never met that man before!' Doubted Wei Sheung.
  'Yui? No...' Chichiri calculated with his finger again and said,' Wei Sheung, the previous life of Yui.'
  'Really?' Kaika was very surprised. No wonder he felt so familiar when he first saw Wei Sheung.
  'Yui? Who is Yui?' asked Wei Sheung and looked at Kaika.
  'That's interesting... Your brother love Yui and you love her previous life. The Book of Four Gods and Universe made two couple live together- Taka and Miaka in the other world, You and Wei Sheung in this world.' Said Chichiri.
  'What has happened to my brother Suboshi... I can't feel his "ki". Has he gone to the other world that Yui lives in? Please tell me the truth.' Asked Kaika when Chichiri mentioned about him.
  ' He... He died in the other world when he was trying to kill Miaka for Yui... Don't be sad, but seek for your fortune, my friend. As everybody can live one time, so get hold of your life! See you later no da!' Chichiri disappeared through the hat again as swiftly as he came.
  Kaika explained what had happened to him in his early life. 'It's fate that I have come here to meet you.'
  'Kaika, no matter who you are, the only one I love is you.' Said Wei Sheung. 'You must be very tired after going through all these. I'll make you a home to rest inside.'
  Wei Sheung could not stay in the village long because she was thought to get married with that wealthy merchant. After listening to the whole incident told by Kaika, his parents agreed to let them move away from their village to start a new life.
  'Father, mother, why don't you leave here with us?' asked Kaika before he leave with Wei Sheung at that middle of the night.
  'We are old and we can't go far. We are destined to have our life ended here. Don't miss us but seek for your future. Take good care of yourself and Wei Sheung.' This was the last sentence he heard from the old couple.
  Because of the political instability of Kutokoku, Kaika settled in Konan and use back his old name Bu Koutoku. By chance he joined the royal musicians to serve the king. Very soon after he had a twin son and daughter, called Shunkaku and Yui respectively. 18 years later, Shunkaku became a very young general in the service for Konan. His best friend Wong Yu, who was also a general in the same age, got married with his sister Yui. Because of this marriage, Amiboshi discovered that Yu's mother was Chi Fan! She was happy with her husband and had seven children.
  This is the end of this story and all of us know that Amiboshi will live happily ever after- in his world and in our hearts.
