A Light Gone Out

Epilogue

Tohru was with Yuki, Machi, Kyo, Momiji, Kisa and Hiro. They were out at a cafe to get together and talk about old times. Machi had eventually been filled in about the now broken curse.

They were sitting at a table outside, Tohru half-watching the people go by, when she saw someone. A very familiar someone, who she couldn't seem to remember. This someone was older than she was, and the person she resembled had been Kisa's age. "Onee-chan? Who're you looking . . ." Kisa trailed off as she saw the person looking at a watch on her wrist. She was also wearing a men's suit.

"Maya-san!" Tohru called. The female looked, a surprised expression coming over her face. She snapped her fingers

"You're . . . Tohru!" She said, recognition coming into her eyes. "Miss Maya, a pleasure to see you again." Yuki said politely. "Liar."

"Excuse me?" "It's in your eyes. You're just being polite." Maya said, looking at her watch again. "Miss Maya, look out!"

Maya grabbed the tonfa and flipped herself over it. Her arms wrapped around the man armed with them.

"Hey, Kyoya."

"Y-you got married? To him?" "I-I'm sure he has good qualities." "I love him very much. So much it hurts sometimes, Tohru." "Why?" "Because another me knows about Hibari Kyoya, yet she lives in a world where he doesn't exist. And she doesn't have a way out, except for death and complete insanity. She's insane enough as it is."

I, the girl that me talked about, wanted to cry as I thought about this. But there is always work to be done and things to do. Life will go on. And I will be working as an author who's a concert pianist when I reach eighteen. I just hope I can satisfy myself with stories and keep on living.
