Iori sat on the beach gazing to the horizon. The sun melted down into the sea making the sky red, orange and blue at the same time. He squeezed his cross necklace, praying for lord to forgive him for all his sins. His brown eyes were filled with sadness as he buried his bare feet into the sand. He had done something horrible. Something horrible in front of someone he shouldn't have done it. He had threatened to kill himself in front of a girl, who was afraid of death.

-Two months ago-

"Iori! There's nothing you could have done to it!" Kaname yelled to him while he screamed for his life. Every single bad memory of his dear girlfriend had come up to his mind so suddenly. She had died a year ago, and now it was the time Iori mind collapsed and traumas took over. His collapsing started small, with crying and telling people to go away, then it had suddenly changed into anger and it had blinded him.

"I shouldn't have let her leave!" he screamed and tried to hit Kaname, but Ukyo caught him into a powerful hug from behind making him unable to use his arms. Iori still continued struggling to get Ukyo off him. He kicked and tried to hit Kaname, who wasstanding right in front of him. Ema was terrified. She was standing further away behind Masaomi with Wataru. Everybody else were seeking for things that could make Iori calm down, or hiding things like knifes and anything sharp. Ema hadn't seen anyone this mad, ever. She already had a backup plan on how to get Wataru out of the house as fast as possible. Tears were streaming down Ioris face. He couldn't see or think straight.

"Calm down!" Ukyo tried to yell, but failed.

"You cannot rewrite history Iori! There was nothing you could have done!" Natsume yelled next to Kaname, but he stopped as Kaname raised his hand for everybody to stay quiet. Ioris eyes were full of rage and sadness. He stared at Kaname as he was planning on killing him. Kaname looked straight into Ioris eyes. Iori breathe very roughly and he had used almost every bit of energy he had left. Kaname started to speak calmly.

"God decides our destinies. God chose to give Fuyuka that kind of destiny. There was nothing you could have done to it Iori! And I know you know that."

There was a few seconds of silence before Iori answered:

"Then I will follow her to the other world. I will kill myself and be with Fuyuka."

Everybody went quiet for a good while. Suddenly they heard a loud thud behind Masaomi. Wataru looked slowly behind him and saw Ema collapsed on the floor whining and covering her ears.

"Ema!" Masaomi yelled and rushed to support her. She grabbed Masaomis arm and cried.

"It's ok now. Its ok", he calmed her down while everyone else rushed to help her and calm her down. Even Ukyo had released Iori and hurried to Ema. Iori stared at her crying and saying things like "don't speak about it" and "don't say it". He stared at her and thought, what had happened.

"Are you happy now?" Kaname asked Iori. He turned his head to the blond. Kaname looked at the girl crying and continued:

"One word made her like that. Can you guess which one?"

"Death?" Iori whispered. He turned his gaze back to the girl and remembered. His original mother and father had died and since she learned that, she had been afraid of death.

"Think how your death would affect her, Iori. Are you sure you want us to see that? Are you sure you want Ema to experience something like death of a family member? Think what would happen, if you'd actually do it. If one sentence affected her this much, then what will happen, if you will make your threat reality", Kaname asked him. Iori gazed as Ema calmed down slowly.

"I… I… I promise, that I will never say that again", Iori whispered and sat on the sofa and didn't speak or move for quite a long while.

Sun went down faster than he could have noticed. He silently stood up and quietly whispered; amen. Stars began to appear on the beautiful sky and gave hope. Iori paid more attention to this one star up in the sky. The star looked back questioning Ioris feelings.

"I'm sorry Fuyuka, but I'm questioning them myself too", he answered to the star. He felt like there was an empty space on his chest. Ever since Fuyuka had left that world, it had been empty. The star nodded. It was waiting, waiting for Iori to realize something the star had already realized.

"Iori!" he heard Azusa yell behind him. He was running towards him with a panicked look on his face.

"Azusa. What is it?" Iori asked. Azusa panted for a sec and then said:

"Ema is missing."

"What? How? Do you have any idea where she might have gone?" Iori asked.

"Last time we saw her was when she told she would go on a walk to the woods. We haven't seen her in a couple of hours and we can't connect to her cellphone", Azusa told him and they both watched as Kaname ran into the forest a flashlight. Iori didn't even think when he started to run towards the woods.

"Iori!" Azusa yelled and stayed stranded on the beach watching as Natsume, Subaru, Yusuke and Ukyo ran to the forest to look for Ema. Azusa sighed and started to go around the island near the sea, if Ema was somewhere on the shore. People were yelling Emas name around Miwas Private Island. Everyone else had stayed at the cottage to wait, if Ema would return safely by herself.

"Ema!" Iori yelled in the middle of the woods. He could only hear the crickets disturbing his focusing.

"Shit, Shit, SHIT!" He cursed and continued looking for the girl. He saw a cliff in front of him and decided to go look, if he could see more form a higher point. He jumped over some rocks and fallen trees in the middle of the tropical heat. One the edge he looked around and continued calling Emas name.

Suddenly he watched sown and saw a white, almost shapeless looking object. Without hesitation he started to climb down the cliff. He slid down for few meter after every step. After getting down, he ran to the object and saw Emas wounded face. She had scratches all over her face, arms and legs. She definitely had fell down from the cliff.

"Ema. Ema please answer me!" Iori called her, but got nothing in chance. He grabbed her up in his arms and pressed her against his chest, begging for her to be still alive. Iori couldn't take it. It was too much. He started to cry. Tears fell on Emas face as he tried to pray:

"Please, dear God, let her live. She has so much to do. So much to see. Don't take her away from me. She's been the one holding me together, so if you take her away, I will most definitely die. So please, please, let her live, let us live. Don't take my dream away. When she's around me, it feels like I'm in a movie. I wasn't happy, until she became my queen. And when I finally found it, the missing piece from my heart, you dare to take her away. Please, please, I love her. Don't take the only person I love away from me."

A few minutes of silence was broken by a weak voice:

"Iori…"

He opened his eyes to look at the girl who he had been holding in his arms for a while. Ema opened her eyes slowly, in pain.

"Ema. Oh god Ema!" Iori yelled and petted Emas cheek carefully.

"It hurts, it's hard to breath", she whined. Iori put her down on the ground to let her have some air.

"I have to call Kaname that I found you", Iori whispered and took his phone out of his pocket.

"Iori…There's no signal here", Ema said.

"How did you…? Of course, you've already tried to call us for help. Just rest there, I'll go get help", Iori said and stood up, but Ema grabbed his leg and whined:

"Don't leave me! Please, don't leave me alone."

Iori gazed up on the cliff and then beck to Ema. He could see the fear in her eyes. He sat back down and told her:

"I'll stay. Since you didn't leave me, I won't leave you."

"Iori… I heard your prayer in the dark. It was calling me", Ema explained.

"Then the God heard me. He heard my prayer", Iori answered. He was relieved.

"You know… I love you too", She said. Iori was surprised. He really didn't think she would love him.

"Do you really love me?" he asked. His voice was happy.

"Yes. Even if you still love Fuyuka, I still love you."

"No Ema. Fuyuka is in the past. Future, present, those are the most remarkable thing now. Nothing else matters now. You're the one, who has fulfilled me", Iori answered. He was overjoyed.

"Great. If you wouldn't mind, I'm kind of cold and injured", Ema reminded and laughed a bit. Iori woke up from his dream. He lifted Ema up in his arms and began to carry her to the cottage.

After they reached the beach at the other side of the island, he kissed her forehead gently and looked up on the sky. The star of Fuyuka looked at him and asked him the same question. Iori smiled and answered out loud:

"Sorry, but I've found my teenage dream. I have to let you go."

The star smiled back and nodded as an answer. Because of its kindness, it guided everyone else to Iori. Iori wasn't willing to let Ema go, even though he was really tired. Ema breathed in Ioris scent and felt happy.

They both finally got peace.
