Chapter 24: Dimming Light
One more chapter to go, and that's the Epilogue of this story. Anyhow, let's just move onto the disclaimer, shall we?
Disclaimer: I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's or Code Geass
Now I know that there hasn't been a lot of dueling in this fanfic, which is why I'm having one in this chapter, so enjoy!
"The Specially Administrated Zone of Japan is the first attempt of its kind in Britannia, and was personally proposed by her highness, Princess Euphemia. This youthful inspiration was an idea from her school years. It has not only caught the homeland's attention, but the inaugural ceremony will be broadcasted worldwide. The NAC led by Kirihara Industries gives its full-hearted support to the plan." Said the news anchor
"Even Kirihara-sama supports this?" I wondered out loud
"What's wrong about that?" asked Kalin
"Nothing Kiryu, I'm just surprised, that's all, and thanks again for coming with me to get a new cell phone, after what happened with my last one." I said
"Actually, Roman's been getting on my case, and this was an excuse to get away from him, but then again, anything's an excuse to be with you." Said Kalin
"Kiryu, you flatter me." I said
"Flattery won't get anyone anywhere you know." Said Kalin
"Yeah, I know. *Cough, Cough*." I coughed
"You okay?" asked Kalin
"Just a little frog in my throat, that's all. It's probably from the water, I'll be okay." I said
The next day…
"Ugh, I feel terrible. I'm freezing cold; I'm…ah-choo! Sneezing like mad, and sometimes coughing. According to this stupid thing, I have a fever, most likely a cold. I can't be sick, not on a day like this! I have to make it there today, I have too…" I started
I couldn't finish that thought, because whenever I get sick, if I stand up for a long period of time, then I soon become light-headed, dizzy, and sometimes, I lose consciousness.
Lelouch's P.O.V.
I went to get Sakura, seeing that it was time to get moving, but before I got to the door, I heard a thud. Panicking, I manually opened the door.
"Sakura!" I exclaimed
She was unconscious for the moment, but when I tried to pick her up; I felt that her head was on fire. She was just fine yesterday, so what had changed? I placed her on her bed, and left a note.
"Lelouch." Said Kalin
"Kalin! What are you doing here?" I asked
"I just came looking for you and Sakura." Said Kalin
"Yeah, well Sakura's out of commission for today, she's got a fever, a high one too. I don't have anyone who can watch over her, so…" I started
"I'll stay." Said Kalin
"You sure?" I asked
"Sure I'm sure. Just tell the others that something came up, and I couldn't make it." Said Kalin
"Just make sure she doesn't push herself." I said
Sakura's P.O.V.
I was in another dream, but this one was happening at night, and the others were happening during the day. It was the same location that I was always in during each dream, but there was something about this one that was different, not just the time or hour. Things seemed peaceful enough, until a gunshot was heard, and that's when the little girl I kept seeing in my dreams started to get scared. After the gun was fired, a maze of purple flames appeared, and that's when I could see her face a lot clearer than the last times, and the girl looked like…me.
"Sakura Li Britannia." Said a male voice
The younger version of me turned around, and I saw a man in a black outfit, similar to Kiryu's, only with red highlights instead of blue.
"W-who are you?" I asked
"My name is Roman, and you are coming with me." Said Roman
"N-no way! I'm not coming with anyone who I don't know!" I exclaimed
"I was hoping you would see things my way, but I guess I'll have to force my opinion on you." Said Roman holding a spider
The spider made its way to me, but before it reached me, another gun fired, killing the spider.
"Get away from my daughter!" exclaimed a female voice
I turned around and saw my mother.
"Mom!" I exclaimed
Why didn't I say reidou back then? I always called her that.
"Hana Kururugi, so you would go that far to protect your own daughter?" asked Roman
"I would, and the next bullet is going straight for your heart." Said mom
"Heh, I can't die, not through the way you're describing at least. I will grant these few word Hana, one day, she will be ours." Said Roman before he disappeared
Looking at all the damage, the younger version of me was devastated seeing all of the dead bodies, and destruction of the garden that Euphie had told me was my mother's.
"Sakura, it's okay. Its okay, it's over. You're safe." Said my mother
"But mom, all of this damage, these people, it's going to scar me for the rest of my life, how can I just forget about this?" I asked
"I can help with that." Said a male voice
"Father!" I exclaimed
"Sakura, I will regret this, but I think it's best if you just forget." Said my father
"How can I forget something like this?" I asked
"Forgive me Sakura, but as of now, I give you false memories of a false life." Said my father
I saw the Geass Sigil in both of his eyes, and the next scene I saw was me in the bedroom I had before the war in Japan, meaning only one thing, those dreams before weren't just any old dreams, but those were my memories.
"I remember." I said as soon as I opened my eyes
I saw the time, and I was freaking out! I was supposed to meet with the Black Knights as the Black Rose an hour ago!
"You're awake Sakura." Said Kalin
"Kiryu! What are you doing here? We were supposed to meet with the Black Knights about an hour ago!" I exclaimed in a low voice
"Which is exactly why Lelouch asked me to stay and watch over you." Said Kalin
"Huh?" I wondered out loud
"Lelouch told me that you have a fever, it must be from all that time you spent soaking in the water, and he also left this note." Said Kalin handing me a piece of paper
Dear Sakura,
I've decided to go ahead with the Special Zone without you, mainly because you have a fever. Just make sure you don't do anything stupid while I'm gone. You should be able to know how things go. I'll contact you soon.
-Lelouch
"Lelouch, just when I need you the most." I said
"What are you talking about?" asked Kalin
"Kiryu, did you know…about my true past?" I asked
"What do you…" started Kalin
"I remember everything." I said
"So, you did, huh?" asked Kalin
"You knew, didn't you?" I asked
"Yeah, I did." Said Kalin
"But why lie to me like that, and why didn't you tell me?" I asked
"Because of two reasons, one, you wouldn't have believed me anyway. Two, if Roman found out, I'd be dead, well, you know what I mean." Said Kalin
"Points taken." I said
"We're bringing you live coverage from the stadium where the inaugural ceremony will be held for the Specially Administrated Zone of Japan. The place is already packed full of Elevens, sorry, I mean with Japanese, and those unable to get in are gathered outside the stadium." Said the news anchor
"Worried Sakura?" asked Kalin
"It's just…I don't know what's going to happen. I have a bad feeling about this, although this is supposed to be a good thing for both Britannians and Japanese." I said
"Well, it looks like Lelouch made his entrance on the Gawain." Said Kalin
"Zero, welcome to the Specially Administrated Zone! If I may ask, where is the Black Rose?" asked Euphie
"Obviously she would ask that." I said
"Greetings Euphemia Li Britannia, and to answer your question, the Black Rose, regrettably, couldn't make today's event. I wish to request an audience with you." Said Zero
"Just with me?" asked Euphie
"Yes, and you alone." Said Zero
"Something major has happened here ladies and gentlemen, Zero has just appeared in the open. Under Princess Euphemia's direction, he is moving towards the G-1." Said the news anchor
"Do you know what's going on?" asked Kalin
"No, Lelouch never mentioned anything like this." I said
"Well, that's actually saying something." Said Kalin
"Yeah, just how long are we supposed to…ugh." I said closing my left eye in pain
"Sakura, what's wrong?" asked Kalin
"My left eye, it's hurting like crazy!" I exclaimed
"Wait, doesn't your Geass appear in your right?" asked Kalin
"Then…it's Lelouch." I said
"We apologize, but this broadcast is being interrupted for an incoming news report." Said the news anchor
"What's going on?" asked Kalin
"Kiryu, that mirror over there, could you hand it to me, I need to test a theory of mine." I said
"What is it?" asked Kalin
"First off, I need to see if my Geass is like Mao's, if it's out of control." I said
It was still in check, meaning I still had control over it.
"Now, if this works, then I should be able to see what's going on with Lelouch. We got our Geass contracts at the same time; therefore, I should be able to know what's going on. I just hope this works." I said activating my Geass
I just need to focus on Lelouch, and…I'm in. All of this blood, these bodies, what happened here? My connection severed with the trauma I was seeing, and knowing me, I was probably as pale as a ghost.
"What happened?" asked Kalin
"There was…a massacre…of Japanese." I panted
"What? What are you talking about?" asked Kalin
"There was a massacre at the ceremony, and I don't know why." I said
"Well, I know one thing, you need some more rest. I'll wake you up if anything happens." Said Kalin
"Thank you, Kiryu. I trust that, you can keep me safe while this is happening." I said
A few minutes after falling asleep, I was woken up by a sudden shaking!
"What's going on?" I wondered out loud
"Is it some kind of earthquake?" wondered Kalin
"That's impossible! There's an earthquake prevention layer on the surface of the settlement, so how is an earthquake happening at a time like this?" I exclaimed
When it was over, I noticed two things. One, my room was a disaster zone, and two, I was holding Kalin's hand, making heat rush to my face. Not long after that little event, Lelouch walked in.
"Lelouch." I said
"How are you feeling?" asked Lelouch
"As I thought, your Geass is out of control, isn't it?" I asked
"Huh?" asked Lelouch
"My Geass has a power that links to yours, because we got our contracts at the same time, I can see what happens with you because my Geass is a copying Geass. But, to answer your question, I'm okay, but I still need bed rest." I said
"So, you saw what happened. Don't look at me in the eye." Said Lelouch
"She can't be affected by your Geass Lelouch, it's not strong enough." Said Kalin
"Kiryu, what are you talking about?" I asked
"Signers like Yusei, Jack, and yourself can't be affected by Geass that has manifested in one eye, such as Lelouch." Said Kalin
"But that doesn't explain Shikine Island. My Geass affected Yusei." I said
"I would assume it's because he's a Signer, and so are you, so the two of you in close proximity would cancel out the usual Geass protection that Signers have." Said Kalin
"That would make sense." I said
"Anyhow, I have some business I need to take care of. Sakura, about Euphie, she's dead." Said Lelouch
I just sat there in silence with Kalin for a while, until my cell phone began ringing, and I saw it was Lelouch.
"Sakura, Nunnally has been kidnapped!" exclaimed Lelouch
"Are you sure?" I asked
"Yes!" exclaimed Lelouch
"Then we have no choice, tell Rakshata to dispatch the Avalon immediately!" I exclaimed
"What?" exclaimed Lelouch
"You know I value family before my own health, so like it or not, I'm helping you find her!" I exclaimed
"I already know where she is, she's on Kamine Island, so…damn it!" exclaimed Lelouch
"What's wrong?" I asked
"It's Orange boy." Said Lelouch
"Jeremiah? I thought he was dead." I said
"I guess not." Said Lelouch
"Hang in there, I'm coming!" I exclaimed
After the Avalon launched, and I got in my Black Rose attire, we headed to Zero's location. The Knightmare he was facing was a new model, but it was also a Knightmare Runner.
Duel Mode engaged. Entering combat with Knightmare Frame Siegfried
"Who dare enters duel mode with me?" exclaimed Jeremiah
"Is that you, Orange boy?" I taunted
"Orange? I'll make you pay in a duel Black Rose!" exclaimed Jeremiah
"Do realize that I'm not alone. So how about this for a deal, we'll treat this duel as a tag team duel, to compensate for the fact that you're outnumbered two to one." I said
"Fine then!" exclaimed Jeremiah
"Riding Duel…" started Kalin
"ACCELERATION!" Jeremiah, Kalin, and I exclaimed in unison
Jeremiah LP 8000 SPC: 0/ Kalin & Sakura LP 8000 SPC: 0
"Watashi no tan, iku ze! I call forth my Dark Crusader in attack mode! (ATK: 1600/ DEF: 200) I'll end my turn with a face-down." I said
Jeremiah LP 8000 SPC: 0/ Kalin & Sakura LP 8000 SPC: 0
"My turn now!" exclaimed Jeremiah
Jeremiah LP 8000 SPC: 1/ Kalin & Sakura LP 8000 SPC: 1
"Hold it Jeremiah; I'm activating my trap, Full Throttle! Now we gain an extra speed counter per standby-phase, starting now." I said
Jeremiah LP 8000 SPC: 1/ Kalin & Sakura LP 8000 SPC: 2
"No matter, I summon to the field Marauding Captain in defense Mode! (ATK: 1200/ DEF: 400) Now with his special ability, I can summon out to the field Queen's Knight in attack mode! (ATK: 1500/ DEF: 1600)" exclaimed Jeremiah
"I'm activating the special ability of my Chaos Hunter that's in my hand! Now by sending to the graveyard my Rinyan, Lightsworn Rogue, I can special summon this card from my hand, if and only if you manage to summon a monster through the means of a special summon. (ATK: 2500/ DEF: 1600)" I said
I'm pushing myself too hard now; I have to end this duel with Kiryu, and fast!
"I'll end my turn with two face-downs." Said Jeremiah
Jeremiah LP 8000 SPC: 1/ Kalin & Sakura LP 8000 SPC: 2
"It's my move!" exclaimed Kalin
Jeremiah LP 8000 SPC: 2/ Kalin & Sakura LP 8000 SPC: 4
"Now then, I summon to the field Infernity Archfiend! (ATK: 1800/ DEF: 1200) Archfiend, attack his Marauding Captain!" exclaimed Kalin
"Not so fast, I activate my trap, Negate Attack! Now your attack is canceled Black Rose!" exclaimed Jeremiah
"Damn it! I'll end with two face-downs." Said Kalin
Jeremiah LP 8000 SPC: 2/ Kalin & Sakura LP 8000 SPC: 4
"My move now!" exclaimed Jeremiah
Jeremiah LP 8000 SPC: 3/ Kalin & Sakura LP 8000 SPC: 6
"I summon King's Knight in defense mode! (ATK: 1600/ DEF: 1400) Now since he was special summoned, I can special summon from my deck Jack's Knight! (ATK: 1900/ DEF: 1000) Jack's Knight, attack Infernity Archfiend!" exclaimed Jeremiah
Jeremiah LP 8000 SPC: 3/ Kalin & Sakura LP 7900 SPC: 6
"I'll switch Queen's Knight into defense mode and end my turn." Said Jeremiah
Jeremiah LP 8000 SPC: 3/ Kalin & Sakura LP 7900 SPC: 6
"My draw then! Iku ze!" I exclaimed
Jeremiah LP 8000 SPC: 4/ Kalin & Sakura LP 7900 SPC: 8
"Now, by removing from play my Rinyan and his Infernity Archfiend, I can special summon from my hand Chaos Sorcerer! (ATK: 2300/ DEF: 2000) Now I can activate his special ability! Once per turn, I can remove from play one monster on your side of the field, and I think I'll choose you Marauding Captain, it's becoming a pain in the ass, but for a price, I can't attack with it this turn. Now I summon to the field Jain, Lightsworn Paladin in attack mode! (ATK: 1800/ DEF: 1200) Now for my Dark Crusader to fall in and attack your King's Knight! Now for Queen's Knight, attack my Paladin! Now for Jack's Knight, attack Chaos Hunter!" I exclaimed
"I think not! I activate my Magic Cylinder! Now you take damage equal to your Chaos Hunter's attack points!" exclaimed Jeremiah
"I don't think so; I activate the trap Damage Translation! Now the effect damage we would've taken is cut in half!" exclaimed Kalin
Jeremiah LP 8000 SPC: 4/ Kalin & Sakura LP 6650 SPC: 7
"I end my turn with a face-down." I said
"Hold up, since Damage Translation was used, we get a Ghost token! (ATK: 0/ DEF: 0)
Jeremiah LP 8000 SPC: 4/ Kalin & Sakura LP 6650 SPC: 7
"No matter, I summon Warrior Lady of the Wasteland in defense mode! (ATK: 1100/ DEF: 1200) Jack's Knight, attack that token!" exclaimed Jeremiah
"Not so fast, I activate my trap, Scrap-Iron Scarecrow! This negates your attack and I can reset it on the field instead of sending it to the graveyard." I said
"Curse you!" exclaimed Jeremiah
"I take it that means you end your turn." Said Kalin
"That's right Eleven scum." Said Jeremiah
Jeremiah LP 8000 SPC: 4/ Kalin & Sakura LP 6650 SPC: 7
"For the last time, I'm not an Eleven, I'm Japanese!" exclaimed Kalin
Jeremiah LP 8000 SPC: 5/ Kalin & Sakura LP 6650 SPC: 9
"Black Rose, do you mind if I use your Chaos Sorcerer?" asked Kalin
"It would be useless once its special ability was activated." I said
"Very well then. I activate Chaos Sorcerer's special ability, allowing me to remove from play your Warrior of the Wasteland. Now I sacrifice my Ghost Token and Black Rose's Chaos Sorcerer to advance summon Dark Tuner Nightmare Hand! (ATK: 0/ DEF: 0)" exclaimed Kalin
"How can a monster with a level of ten be of any use?" wondered Jeremiah
"Never look before you leap, because my Nightmare Hand's special ability allows me to special summon a level two or lower Dark attribute monster, such as my Infernity Dwarf! (ATK: 800/ DEF: 500) Now I dark tune my Nightmare Hand with my Infernity Dwarf! When the shadows are devoured by even darker shadows, the curtain pulls back and reveals a world without light! Dark Synchro! Show yourself, One Hundred-Eyed Dragon! (ATK: 3000/ DEF: 2500) Now I activate my trap, Wicked Trample! Now for the rest of this duel, the battle damage we inflict is doubled, except for direct attacks! But why stop there, when I can activate these Speed Spells, Speed Energy and Power Baton! So, with the power of Speed Energy, One Hundred-Eyed Dragon gains 1800 attack points, plus by sending Infernity Destroyer to the graveyard, Power Baton gives my dragon 2300 attack points! (ATK: 7100) Go my dragon, attack Jack's Knight and end this duel!" exclaimed Kalin
Jeremiah LP 0 SPC: 5/ Kalin & Sakura LP 6650 SPC: 9
"I won't go down like this! I'll rid you Black Rose!" exclaimed Jeremiah
One of his spikes pierced me, and I was not happy, so I blasted his Knightmare with the Hadron, but even though he had a shielding layer around his Knightmare protecting him, the force of it was enough to send him far out at sea.
"Sakura!" exclaimed Kalin
"I'll be fine Kiryu, we just need to get to Kamine Island, and rescue Nunnally, but first, we're going to give Orange a run for his money." I said in fury
Even though I still had a fever, the combined blood loss was making me even dizzier, I couldn't fly the Avalon straight, so there was thing to do.
"Kiryu, there are no shots left in the Hadron, and we're close to Kamine Island, what's the best bet of a sacrifice attack?" I asked
"First, you need to get off." Said Kalin
"Kiryu, my fever plus the blood loss equals me passing out soon, plus the wound on my side is deep, and with the amount I've lost, I might not survive long enough to save Nunnally, so…" I started
"You can't die! There are people who need you as a symbol of hope Sakura! That and, I don't want to lose you, ever. I've lost some people I cared about already, and I can't lose you! Sakura, if you can, help Lelouch." Said Kalin
"Fine, but I have at best thirty minutes to live with my condition." I said
"Sakura, I'll find you, after I take care of Orange." Said Kalin
I got out of the Avalon, but considering my condition, it was a struggle for me just to move.
"Don't die, okay?" I asked
"Hey, I'm the devil, so who are you talking to?" asked Kalin
"Right, you really are, a Shinigami." I said
I was planning a sneak attack from above, so I positioned myself where I could see Lelouch, and anyone who might have any ideas. My wound wasn't helping me much; I saw Yusei and Suzaku come in, as well as Jack and Kallen pointing guns at them.
"Turn and face me, very slowly. Didn't you hear me, Zero? I said turn and face me, very slowly." Said Suzaku
"Suzaku, I know that you're still upset with what happened to Euphie, but…" started Yusei
"Stay out of this!" exclaimed Suzaku
I've never heard him sound so angry in my life!
"Euphemia randomly throngs of innocent Japanese people. You fight for a woman like…" started Zero
"Your Geass power is quite convenient, isn't it? You and Black Rose get to hide in the shadows while others take all the blame for your and Black Rose's dirty work. You two are just arrogant cowards. That's both of your true natures, the real you and the real Black Rose." Said Suzaku
Why that little brat, says the person who killed his own father!
"Kallen." Said Suzaku
"Jack, I know you're there." Said Yusei
"Besides, don't you two want to know Zero's true identity too, since he's the only one here?" asked Suzaku
"What are you saying?" asked Kallen
"Why should we listen to you?" asked Jack
"You three have a right to bear witness." Said Suzaku
"No, wait!" exclaimed Jack as Suzaku raised his gun
He fired, and it hit the top of Lelouch's mask, revealing his face, and causing looks of shock to appear on everyone except me. Blood started trickling down Lelouch's face
"But how?" asked Jack
"How could you?" asked Kallen
Suzaku lowered his gun, but he wasn't out of the woods just yet, but it was getting harder for me to focus on them. I was losing blood faster than I had originally though, so now with this new rate, I have, at best, five minutes left of my life.
"I didn't want it to be you." Said Suzaku
"L-Lelouch is…" started Kallen
"Yes, I am Zero, the man who leads the Black Knights, who challenges the Holy Britannian Empire, the one who holds the entire world in his hand." Said Lelouch
"You used us? The Japanese people were used too? You used both me and Kallen?" exclaimed Jack
"And as a result, Japan will be free. You certainly can't complain about that." Said Lelouch
"I should've arrested you when I had the chance." Said Suzaku
"You knew it was me?" asked Lelouch
"I wasn't sure at first, so I convinced myself that it wasn't true, but I really wanted to believe in you, but you were lying to us, to me, to Yusei, to your sister Euphie, and Nunnally." Said Suzaku
"Why didn't you include Sakura?" asked Lelouch
"Because, I had convinced myself that I didn't believe that Sakura could be the Black Rose, but now that I know that you're Zero, I now know that she is the Black Rose." Said Suzaku
"Yes, but enough about that, Nunnally's been kidnapped. Please Suzaku, and you Yusei, can't we call a temporary truce? I need your help. Together we'll be able to save Nunnally. There's nothing in the world that you and I can't do together." Said Lelouch
"I'm done with that. Had you only joined up with Euphie first, we wouldn't be here. If you and she combined forces, things would be different! The world…" started Suzaku
"It's in the past, over and done." Said Lelouch
"The past!" exclaimed Suzaku
"You killed your own father, didn't you? Wallow in remorse when you have time for it!" exclaimed Lelouch
"No! You're hopeless!" exclaimed Suzaku
"What?" asked Lelouch
"I know you. In the very end, you betrayed the entire world, the way it's betrayed you and Sakura! I'm not going to let yours and Sakura's sick and twisted dream be realized!" exclaimed Suzaku
"You fool; you think ideals alone can change the world? Fine! Then go ahead and shoot me! Come on! Set your aim at this Liquid Sakuradite. If my heart stops, this vial will explode. You'll all die with me." Said Lelouch
"Damn you!" exclaimed Suzaku
"Listen, I'll make a deal with you. I want to know who told you about Geass, did they abduct Nunnally?" asked Lelouch
"Nothing that happens now is any of your concern! Yours and Sakura's very existence is a mistake. You two need to be erased from the face of the Earth. I'll take care of Nunnally!" exclaimed Suzaku
He said that my existence is a mistake. Does that mean that he hates me? His own cousin? Well, if that's the case, there's something that I wanted to say about you for a long time, I hate you Suzaku Kururugi!
"Suzaku!" exclaimed Lelouch
"Lelouch!" exclaimed Suzaku
I noticed that Yusei had a look of shock on his face, meaning that he didn't expect me of all people, a Signer, like him, to be his enemy. It was kinda ironic, we are supposed to be allies, but yet, we're enemies. The gun Lelouch fired destroyed Suzaku's headset, while a stray second bullet destroyed Yusei's headset as well. Suzaku's bullet hit Lelouch's gun and he knocked it out of his hand.
"Zero!" exclaimed Kallen
"It's Lelouch. It's the man who's used the Japanese people, who's used you Kallen, and Jack as well. You two wanna defend a man like that?" exclaimed Suzaku
Kallen and Jack ran out of there, obviously surprised at these events. I couldn't help but watch, because I only had two minutes left of my life.
"Zero, this is the end of you." Said Suzaku
Suzaku knocked him out and I could no longer see them. It was now my time, for I was dying, and there was no way to save my life.
"Sakura." Said Kalin in a low voice
"You came, Kiryu." I said in a weak voice
"*GASP!* Y-you're…" started Kalin
"Yes, dying. Lelouch has been taken, by Suzaku and Yusei. To be honest, I don't want to die; I want to live, because I have to believe that Lelouch is going to be okay." I said
"Sakura, there is one way to save your life, and it's to become like me, a Dark Signer." Said Kalin
"Would that really, save my life?" I asked
"Yes, but only if you have a strong hatred for someone like I do, unfinished business like with Misty, another Dark Signer, or both, plus you must have a strong will to live." Said Kalin
"I do want to live more than anything, because I want to see Britannia's downfall. My hatred is strong against three people. My father for both re-writing my memories, and causing all of this to happen. Suzaku, for both killing my uncle, Genbu Kururugi and saying that my existence was a mistake, and finally Yusei, for selling his soul to Britannia. I guess you could say that my unfinished business is… to make sure that my little brother doesn't do anything reckless, until I can find a way to help him, and I want to stay with the person I love." I said
After saying those words, I gave my last breath, and my old life ended, in Kiryu's arms.
Okay, I know you weren't expecting that of all things, but then again, I like surprises. Stay tuned for the epilogue, and to be honest, I have no idea what I should do for Sakura's immortal, and to be honest, most of the chapter wasn't what I had originally planned, it had wrote itself. Please review, and until the epilogue, I'm sakuraphoenix, saying I heart you, signing off for now. Kan dao ni!
