Upon their return to Tokyo, everyone goes their separate way. However, Chigusa is one day reunited with Taketo, when she goes to his clinic to fix her terrible toothache. After much trial and tribulations, they become a couple, with Chigusa moving in with Taketo. Unfortunately, Chigusa doesn't feel very secure with Taketo, due to his playboy ways and his past with all the other women. On top of that, Aya is trying to get back with Taketo, and causes much mischief in Chigusa's shaky relationship with Taketo.
