at last we come to an end... or, is it?
DISCLAIMER: Don't own nothing except my own crazy self....oh yeah, i own Mizu.
Within five years, Mizu's father worked on the scripture when he didn't work as a professor in a
university.
A month has passed since Mizu's college graduation.
"Dad... I... I can read it now!" Mizu screamed.
"Really??? What did it say?" her dad craned over her shoulder to see.
"I'm not supposed to tell you, remember?"
"Aww... can't you make me an exception?"
"No. It's clearly stated in the very first line: nobody aside from the thirteenth descendant must
learn of the contents of this scripture marked €. The last part of the scripture has a mark,
see?" she pointed to a symbol in the scripture.
"You're no fun," he pouted.
"You're childish," she snapped back.
"All right, is it good, or bad?"
Mizu read it again. "I don't know..." she felt her pendant. "I'm not sure..."

Heero stopped his work. He stood up and walked out the door.
"Oei! Where are you going? We're not yet done here!" Duo shouted at Heero from the roof.
Heero didn't appear to hear him. He continued walking.
"What's with him?" Quatre asked.
Duo shrugged.

Heero walked down the path leading to the woods. Where am I going? He asked himself. He
stopped. He glanced over to his left. A patch of weeds was growing with the grass. They bloomed
bright yellow flowers. He stared long at the flowers. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a
silver necklace with a half-cross pendant. At that exact same moment, a bright light shone from
the middle of the woods. Heero ran to the light.
He didn't have to run far because when he reached an old tree, he saw a familiar sight. One he
had seen five years ago. Heero looked at her in shock as she touched the ground.
"I didn't faint!" Mizu boasted. She smiled.
"You're back..."
Mizu let out a surprised gasp when Heero pulled her closer and hugged her tight. She hugged him
back.
A few moments passed, neither one moved. "I've failed my mission," Heero whispered.
"What do you mean?"
"I didn't forget you."
Mizu looked at Heero. She smiled, "You didn't have to after all."
"I don't understand."
"Did you read my letter?"
He nodded.
"I wrote about the remaining part of the scripture... the part I couldn't read. Well, my father
found a way to improve the writings. And now, I can read it."
"What did it say?"
"I'm not supposed to tell you this, but I think you should hear it: The half-cross is the key to
prevent destruction. The two bearers are destined forever... do you understand this? Heero?"
Heero looked pale. "It is true..."
"What is?"
Heero opened his fist. In it was the other half-cross necklace.
"Another one..." Mizu said.
"Do you still have it?"
"If I had lost it, hara-kiri," Mizu sliced an imaginary dagger across her stomach. "I promised
myself years ago," she removed her necklace.
Heero smiled. "Do you know what this means?"
"We are the bearers..." Mizu started.
"...destined forever," Both of them finished.
Silence.
"You're... beautiful," it was the first time Heero noticed Mizu's looks. Her hair was longer, and
she had more slender features.
"Hm, likewise." Heero has grown taller and more mature-looking.
"Our worlds won't collide."
"Yes, and we could stay together."
Heero leaned over and kissed Mizu.

"It's injustice to pound so loudly at the roof while I'm trying to sleep!"
"It's eleven o'clock in the morning! You're trying to sleep?! Why don't you get up here and give
me a hand? Do you have any idea how hard it is to--- woah!"
Duo stopped short of his sermon for Wufei when he saw two figures walking towards the house.
Wufei turned around to look.
Quatre also saw the two and rushed out the door, later followed by Trowa. "Mizu! What took you so
long?---ow!"
Trowa had smacked Quatre on the head for making such a stupid remark.
Everybody laughed.
hm. a corny ending for a corny story. fits perfectly.
Criticisms, flames and death
threats are highly expected. No fear, I won't bite.
