Author's Notes: Thank you everyone for reading through the story! This is the last chapter! It's a little short, but I hope you'll like it.

"Thank you for being here to share in this announcement with me today. I am proud to inform you that soon a new city will be open and its name will be Yuuasan. This place will be open to the public for the citizens of the world to live in." All I could hear afterwards was the claps of the audience. I took some time to explain the benefits of the new city and why it would be good to live there. The main announcements along with questions had taken a couple of hours to get through. I was happy with how things had turned out. Today was a good day...

Director's Notes 10: New Beginnings:

Once the work day was over, I returned home as the sun was setting. Once again things had fallen into the usual routine. After I placed my shoes by the door and changed out of my uniform, I stepped inside of the kitchen to grab a bottle of water. As I did, I looked back toward the counter. The memory of that day popped in my head. I could still remember her here with me. When I stopped remembering, I realized that I could feel myself smiling. It was strange. It's been weeks since I've last seen her here. The last time this happened, I was worried that I would never see her again, but this time it was different. I really did miss her and things had felt lonely without her. Still, wherever she is, I hoped that she's happy. I wished her the best in wherever she was traveling. I did wonder when I would see her again, but this time it was easier getting through the day and focusing on the work ahead.

Suddenly, I heard a knock against my door. I was surprised that someone was here this time of night. My first thought was my dad. After his visit, I've seen a lot more of him. We got along more than we had in the past. It would be a surprise if he was here now. I went to the door and opened it. As soon as I opened it, I froze…

A pair of suitcases were placed on the ground. The person stood up and smiled toward me. "Hey."

I just stood still, staring. "Hey."

She placed her hand on her hip, getting into one of those poses that I've grown to know. "You seem really surprised to see me. Bad time?"

I shook my head. "No!" I smiled toward her. "It really is good to see you again Light. I- I missed you."

She continued to smile. "Is the offer still open?"

My mind drew a blank. I forgot what I said to her before. I noticed the suitcases on the ground but I didn't put the two together at first. "Yeah. You want to...?"

She sighed with her eyes closed. "Never mind…"

I became concerned. "What?"

"Before I left, you said that you wanted me to stay here with you," she answered uneasy.

I smiled. Right! How could I have forgotten?! Time really had flown by and the main thing that had been on my mind was the opening of Yuuasan. "You can stay as long as you want. I want you to stay here with me. Here! Let me grab your bags for you!" I grabbed onto the handles of her suitcase and brought them inside of the living room. I looked back at her as she stepped inside. "If you want, I can send for your other stuff."

She crossed her arms against her stomach. "You really don't have to." Then she smiled toward me. "I heard that your big announcement was today. It seems like it went well."

I had no idea that she watched it. "Yes. It actually went better than I expect it would. Would it be a place that you would like to live someday?"

Light shrugged as she looked off to the side. "I don't know." She walked over toward me. "How have you been? Good?"

I smiled toward her. "All right. What about you? How were your travels?"

"Good." She glanced back toward her suitcases. "I... brought something back for you."

I smiled a little. She thought about me during her travels. "You didn't have to."

"I wanted to. Afterwards I went back home. I talked with Serah and told her about living here with you. She was very happy to hear that." I grinned. Nice to know that Serah approved and thought we could handle this big step. "As I was traveling..." I turned my attention back to her. "I…I thought about something you said."

Right away I looked surprised. "What?"

Her eyes met mine. "We'll be together."

I blinked surprised. She remembered when I said that after she was freed from that cave. I didn't think she heard any of what I said when I found her. "I remember that."

She smiled toward me. Her smile really did have a way of making me smile and light up the room. I smiled as well. She nodded toward the door. "I got a few other bags in the elevator." I nodded toward her. She was about to turn around, but then I grabbed her by the hand and turned her back around. Before she could ask why, I caught her in a kiss. I smiled with her lips to mine. She eased into the kiss and kissed me back. Thinking back on everything that we've gone through, at first, I thought it was better to resist, resist what I felt because of the worse that could've happened, but through this experience, through the ups and downs, the pain, and the good moments, I realized something. Through it all, I found my happiness and it was with her. So maybe it was better to not resist what was to come. Maybe once you get through it all, there will be something good waiting on the other side.

I smiled as I separated from her and wrapped both of her hands into my own. "Welcome home."
