"There once was a girl named Kaoru,
who constantly conquered death,
but in one final dual between good and bad,
she may take her final breath."
The war against The Earl is finished and yet he still leaves sorrow in his wake.
"Has anyone seen Kaoru?!" a frantic Lavi, Allen and Kanda shout in unison. Komui looks up from the out cold form of his sister shaking his head slowly. All three exorcist' look around for Kaoru, finding her several hours later, and not in the condition they had hoped for. Instead they find her body next to Tyki Mikk's and Road Camelot's bodies. A level four akuma Kaoru had died trying to kill struggles on the edge of her anti- akuma weapon.
Allen kills the akuma in the same moment as Kanda, before the raven haired exorcist kneels down next to Lavi, tears rolling down both of their faces. All three boys focus on the younger Bookman's face, noticing that she had died with a smile or rather a smirk that was identical to Kanda's.
-A Few Days Later-
"This is a sad day, yet it is in a way a happy one, we lost many find friends, family members, and lovers in this battle; but the war is over," Komui said his voice ringing throughout the silent church. "These brave seven people gave their lives so we and the rest of the world may be free from the evil clutches of The Earl and The Noah. Now in order to thank them lets have a moment of silence in their honor,"he added, bowing his head in respect.
Everyone in the church bows their heads in sorrow and respect, while Kanda and Lavi silently cry with Lenalee holding their hands trying to comfort them a bit. After the service the members of the order leave the church with the red head and raven haired exorcists trail behind their eyes no longer producing tears that would flow down their cheeks.
"Love of mine, someday I will die,
but fear not you'll follow at your own time,
once you do we can go to the dark together,"
Kaoru Bookman
1900-1919
Kanda leans into Kaoru's grave, before he finally feels his last lotus petal fall. He smiles at the fact he can go to the other side, passing away with a smirk just like his lover had when she passed.
The End.
