Two weeks later...

The graveyard was empty and silent. Only one person was visible there, standing by two graves, which looked brand new. The man was immobile and looked struck by pain and agony. He had chocolate brown, shoulder-length hair and same color eyes. The guy was all dressed up in black, as if his soul wasn't able to take any other color. The man looked into those two graves…his eyes filling with tears.

On one of the gravestones was written: Hao Asakura. On another one: Anna Kyouyama – Asakura. Under those names were the same strophes, carved on a black marble stone:

…like two eagles sore as one

Upon the river on the wind…

With the promise of forever

The past was taken to begin…

Yoh read and reread the poem, not seeing any truth in it. How can these two people take the past now, if they are the past? That didn't make sense to him. His cheeks were crossed by a stream of sorrowful tears. The guy collapsed to the ground, feeling a cold earth under his palms. How could I do such a thing!!! I'm a monster!!! And I must live with it?!! How can I look into the eyes of my mother, father…how can I look into the eyes of my nephew?!! I am responsible that he was left without parents!!! Anna…I am so sorry!!! If only I could remove everything I've done…Hao…my dearest brother…you've done so much for my happiness and I just prevented yours!!! I AM SUCH A MONSTER!!! Why am I let to live on? I do not deserve it!!! I'm supposed to be in their place now!!! For my own fault I've sent two the most wonderful people on this goddamned earth to death!!! Yoh was sobbing, almost screaming from the pain that was burning inside of him. He couldn't believe that he'd done such a terrible thing. "…like two eagle sore as one…" They were two eagles, soaring as one across the cruel world!!! And I've broken their wings! Not only that, I've left the innocent life alone in this world!!! HOW CAN SOMEONE LET ME TO LIVE!!! Better to die than to endure this pain!!! But Yoh knew that this now was his punishment, his curse that he destroyed the only thing that keeps this world going…love…the true love that he himself swore to feel for Anna!!! And what he'd done instead? He'd destroyed it completely, covering it with heavy dirt. That was unbearable to him…but Yoh understood that it now was his fate to live on with this heaviness on his heart. For killing his own brother…and for killing the only woman he loved…

The tombstones showed that their masters were only twenty two and twenty one years old. That hurt Yoh even more, since they had only began their lives and he had taken them away. And their precious child now is forced to live without parents…Yoh's parents and grandparents took the boy to rise, since Yoh wasn't able to look at the reflection of his brother…only eyes were Anna's and they talked to Yoh's deepest soul.

Yoh cried and cried, emptying his soul and lighting his heart. But still it was refilling once more…to hurt him on. This wasn't about to end and Yoh knew it. He knew this wound would never heal…the guiltiness…

Another black figure closed to the crying man. Katashi… He carried two flowers in his hands: blood red roses and big white chrysanthemum. Katashi closed to Yoh and put hand on his shoulder. Yep, he knew exactly how Yoh felt… but it was too late to be sorry, the things were done and nothing left to do…only try and cope with it…The man in black put blood red rose on Hao's grave and smiled to it. Hey, man. You've got yourself the best of best… And white chrysanthemum was for Anna…he knew she liked them and so he brought it, feeling that wherever she was now, it might make her smile. Anna…I loved to see you smile...I wish those days were still here… Katashi stood up and so did Yoh. Both men stood immobile for a while, and then Katashi asked:

"Where to now?" Yoh shrugged shoulders.

"Pick up the peaces I guess and just…move on" Katashi nodded and turned to Yoh, stretching out his hand.

"Good luck to you, Asakura Yoh" Yoh shook the cold hand.

"Yeah, take care" Katashi went away, leaving Yoh stand alone once again…

The warm breeze tickled yet naked branches of trees, lifting some burgeons of them. The nature was about to become alive again… Pity, that some things just cannot revive themselves once more…Like happiness…like friendship…like love…But you can always feel their presence here, when you walk on a road…the senses are always alive…no mater what you think…they are alive, only that you cannot see them, but try and feel them…for love can always live on in other people's hearts…

THE END

A/N: Ok, I almost cried myself TT, anyway, thanx everyone for reviewing my story. It wasn't that good as I expected to be when I started it, but I'm glad you like it XD. Ok, as I said I'm taking long day off from writing, so don't be that tuned on…Anyway, I'll give some summaries of my following stories, so I could know which one to write when my day off will end.
