Hi hi hi hi there. Author's note: I have always loved No 6, I have seen the show countless times, and probably read it more. I don't know what it is about it, it just speaks to me, I know that sounds weird, but that is the only way I can describe it. How Rat and Shion had healed each others heart's in several different ways just speaks to me, and how they loved each other despite their differences. I was always unsatisfied in the end of the series, so I figured what the hell, why not just write my own ending Lol. And I know that this has been done a lot but, I'm going to do it anyway. And I'm not going to do any scenes that is going to make people blush, sorry but not my thing, there be kissing though, eventually. And this is going to take place after the manga. So this will be my second fanfiction, so don't hesitate to tell me what I need to work on, I shall do my best to correct it. So with all that out the way, make yourself a good cup of tea and enjoy, your Majesty.

Chapter 1. I'll wait to the end of time.

For six years all has been well, all is how it should have been from the very beginning, and all was No 6 that cost so much suffering was no more, the wall that's separated the city and West Block was gone, so now the people of both can come and go as they please. though, the first few years was a struggle, the residence of NO 6 was hesitant to trust the people of West Block, and the residence of West Block was just as cautious, with complete understanding. Trust is a very fragile thing, it is hard to earn but easy to shatter. But gradually Trust began to form on both sides. No 6 and West Block has been United. After the man hunt West Block had risen From the Ashes, and started a new.

With some assistance from NO 6, West Block is now a lot safer place, hospitals in a school have been built. Shion's dream had come true.

Even though everything is how it ought to be, and yes everyone was happy, and though it was a bright sunny day, and warm, to Shion everything seemed Gray, and cold. For Shion there was no longer any color left in the world, no, all of his color packed up and left with a certain long haired boy, and he highly doubted any color would ever come back in this world.

He had been going through the emotions day by day, not letting anyone see just how miserable he truly is, and how lost he feels. The truth was, his heart, his soul, his every Bean was craving for the one who may never return. So he pretends, and just continues to go through the emotions, just like he did before he met the person who stole his heart, and his soul ride along with it.

But after he was Left Behind, his heart shattered into millions of pieces, the same thoughts have been running through his mind over and over, the same questions he asked himself every single day.

Why didn't i say anything? Why didn't i stop him? Why couldn't he just stay with me? Wasn't i enough for him? Or perhaps he never really cared about me in the first place? Why didn't I go with him? Why didn't I fight harder for him to stay? Am I being selfish? Was he happy wherever he is? Does he think of me as much as i thank of him? Why didn't I ask for his name, His real name? Or am I just being an idiot?

But that last kiss, the way it felt, like it really met something, just that one kiss had set his very soul a flame, and Shion will remember that kiss for years to come. Although, he and Rat had only kissed twice, he just known that it was love, on his part, anyway.

Shion was alone in his Mother's Bakery, she had to step out for a few hours, leaving him to watch the place, and to ponder on his thoughts without interruption.

The usual customers came in, got what they desired and left.

But like Always, when he was alone, Shion's mind wandered, wandered to a certain boy that sat his heart a flame, and burned his soul to no recognition, leaving nothing behind but smoldering Ash, and he'll wait until the day when the Flames is brought back to life by the breath of the one he desires most.

"Shion". He blinked. He was so lost in the see of his own thoughts, he had barely noticed his mother had returned.

Karen was a lot older, she had crow's feet at the corner of her eyes, her hair was turning gray, but still beautiful in his opinion.

"Lost in you're thoughts again?". She asked, placing her hands on her hips.

"You could say that". She nodded her head with understanding. Shion had told her of his feelings, but not what happened in the Correctional Facility, Shion would prefer to bury those memories, if only he could.

Karen was understanding, she didn't interrupt, just allowed him to say what he needed to, and when he was done she accepted his feelings without hesitation.

"So, are you going to the meeting later on today?". She asked, studying him carefully.

Shion was on the committee of the restructuring of NO 6 and West Block, but after a year or two he decided it wasn't what he expected. Yes, it was his idea to build the hospitals and the school, with that done he felt he had done what he needed to, and he felt like he was no longer needed. So he had stepped down a year ago.

"No"

Thankfully, Karen didn't push the issue. She went on about her day, serving her customers, but Shion's thoughts kept wandering to one person.

Where is he, what's he doing, is he thanking of me? But it's been six years, maybe he's forgotten about me. No! Shion pushed that thought to the back of his mind. How could he think that he would ever forget him? It doesn't matter how long it will take, I'll wait to the end of time.

But it has been six years, so it is a possibility that he has forgotten, but Shion never will.

"How About you stay the night?". Asked Karen. "It seems that there's a lot on your mind. So how about you sleep here tonight"

It's true that he didn't want to go back to the bunker alone, back to where he shared that room with someone that's no longer here, and probably never will return. But he'll hold on the little sliver of Hope, he refuses to let go.

"Okay"

Karen studied him for a moment, as if there was something she wanted to say, and just wasn't sure how to say it "Shion, it's been six years"

He stiffened. So, she has been concerned, apparently she had noticed.

"I know, but he may come back"

"But what if he doesn't? Are you just going to wait for him all you're life?"

Shion had this conversation once before, but dogkeeper wasn't exactly polite about it, and neither was Rokita. But this was the first time that his mother voiced her concerns.

Shion wasn't angry, he was actually touched by their concern, he was glad that they care so deeply about him,but they don't exactly understand, it was pointless to try to make them see it.

"Yes, mom, I know it's been along time, but he promised that he would come back, so I'll wait until he does. I have to"

"I know you cared deeply for him, I understand how it feels waiting for someone that may not return. When you're father left, promising that he would come back, I waited for years, I don't want that for you Shion"

He pulled her into a hug. He understood what she was trying to say, but he can't just let go.

She returned the hug. "I just.. Just want you to be happy". She whispered her voice muffled.

"I am.."

"But you would be happyer if he was here". She released him and took a step back. "Love is thicker than anything, and sometimes when you find a real thing you can't let go, and I understand that you can't give up on him, don't throw away your life for him either"

When the bakery was closed for the night, Shion went up to his old room, but sleep didn't come to him however, what his mother had said to him kept rolling in his head.

Was he just wasting his life away for someone that might not come back? Was he just being foolish and naive?

Was that a goodbye kiss?

It was a promise

Sighing he gathered his things and left. It was impossible, there's no way he can sleep tonight.

He was walking around for hours in a haze, not really sure where he's going. He blinked when he found himself standing in front of the door to the bunker he shared with Rat.

"I really am hopeless". He Grumbled to himself.

He was about to turn in head back to his mother's Bakery when he heard humming on the other side of the door.

He Froze and listened. He knew that voice, but he dare not believe it, for if he let's himself believe this wasn't a dream he might wake up at any moment.

He turned and wrenched the door open. His breath Caught in his throat, for a moment he couldn't breathe.

Now this has to be a dream, but if it is he doesn't want to wake up.

Come come tell me what you all thought about it. Love to all.
