Chapter 7

I angled Himechi and myself and took a deep breath. I cut off most of my silver hair and let it sit on the floor without a person to hang onto. "It's going to be a very cold winter indeed Himechi." Who had I left to confide in? The funeral happened the next weekend. The whole host club was there and Kasanoda along with both our syndicates'. I sat next to Mori holding onto Himechi. The whole time I tried to cry I couldn't. I was out of tears and out of words. She was berried in camellias, I know she liked them.

Even seeing Mori in a suit didn't cheer me up. There was really only one way I could distract myself and calm down. I met up with Mori after school the next day, "Mori... I love you." quick and to the point. "But I have to leave. I'm going to train up on mount fuji in the ways of the ninja and have no feelings. I know it won't make me forget about Yuuki, that's the last thing I want, but I want to be stronger so I can protect the ones I care about. I just thought I'd tell you now before I become a heartless shut in." Mori smiled and then laughed a bit. He ruffled my hair with his hand, "I can't wait to see how your training pays off."

That was my last day at ouran before the long, long, long, long, huff huff long, long, LONG, how high is this mountain! Long treck up the mountain. It wasn't until I reached my destination that I realized there was a bus. I food an old temple where I could stay. Inside was a toad, "Oh I get it! You're a mystical being that represents a master! Show me your ways oh green one!" odly enough it stood up on it's hind legs and pulled out a rabbit hair calligraphy brush and wrote in the most amazing penmanship, 'let us begin.'

Yeah so it's been a while since I came up this mountain and Found out frogs were bad ass. I was under neath a water fall meditating. It was extremely difficult to do so because I heard a laughing, a girl laughing. I opened one of my eyes and saw a spirit hovering on the water, "Holy crap!" "Eh? Oh Ryoko how's it going?" "H- how do you know my name?" "You don't recognize me?" "no? You're a floating blue glowing blob?" "Oh! Hold on!" it morfed into the shape of a girl, "That's better. Ryoko it's me Yuuki." "Yuuki! W-what are you doing up here!" "What about you?"

"I'm... Getting ninja training from a frog. It's part of my get on with my life program. You really screwed me over when you died you know that? I've even sworn off crepes considering that's the kind that hit you." "Aww no! You can't! You love them! Especially the strawberry ones!" "I know! It's so hard!" then I noticed other blobs glowing in different colors turning into shapes like rabbits, foxes, other people. "Yuuki what are those?" "Other spirits trying to pass on." I was intrigued by this, "Yuuki what is this place? Is it spiritual or something because of the temple?"

She had a peaceful look in her eyes, "Not exactly. Fuji San is a rather spiritual mountain. We make this treck up to the top to reach the next world, the only reason you can see us though is because you are near a temple and that heightens your ability." "How do you know all this?" "Death gives you a pamphlet." "Sweet." "Well I can't linger here too long or I might become attached to this zone. Prehaps I'll see you again in another life? Maybe I'll be reborn a butterfly or a sparrow?" she started to float away. "Yuuki don't go!" "But I have to Sis. Oh before I leave I have one wish for you to grant." I wiped the tears in my eyes, "Anything!" "Don't waste your first fight with Himechi if you catch my drift." "I understand!" I put on my bravest smile and sent her off, rest in peace sis.

. . .

It's been a year since I saw Yuuki up on Mt. Fiji and I've come back down from the mountains and am walking to school. It's hard to adapt back to car rides and i always have my katana, Himechi, with me. I took a short cut through the park and in the cherry blossoms was a watch dog from hell. "How have you been?" he asked. "Fine. How have you been... Mori?" "Fine. I started college." "That great. Will you still be at the host club?" "Yeah on occasion." "So I'll see you after school?" "Yeah... But first," he pulled a katana from behind his back, "Let's see if that training paid off?"

He was smiling determined smile and I grinned as I set my books down. I unsheithed Himechi and let her blade shine in the sun. There, amonst the cherry blossoms, we ran at each other ready to clash swords and during this all I could think was, 'This will be a battle worth fighting.' We lunged our blades at each other, but no matter how dangerous this was, we figured love would always be a much more frightening, amazing, and unavoidable death trap.

The End!

"Hey what about me?" asked Kasanoda. "And me?" asked Haruhi. "Well most people saw the show so I figured I wouldn't have to acknowledge you, plus I have school now so I'd never get around to giving it a real ending. Be grateful I didn't just leave you with a random chapter and never freaking update." "Like with me?" cried Niji. "How did you get in here!" "How could you leave me! You loved me for so long and then I totally vanished!" "I'm sorry! Let me finish a few other stories first and get you done, plus I have another 2 stories I wanna start!" "Not fair!" I threw a banana peel tired of hearing him complain. "The laughter! The laughter! I can hear it now!" he slipped onto his face, "the sweet laughter... I can hear it... Bleck." "What about us?" asked Kasanoda and Haruhi. "Okay you guys can have a one shot later, I need to finish my HW. Thanks for reading!"
