Chapter 16: Memories
Ruriko and Shun walked past the hospital entrance. Ruriko stopped walking when she saw Shirei and Ms. Ochiai. She started to have second thoughts.
She felt a warm hand held hers. She looked up and saw Ukiya smile at her encouragingly. She smiled back and together, they walked towards their commander. She caught Kaoru give her a thumbs-up sign.
"Shirei…sumimasen…" Ruriko apologized.
"It's okay Ikusawa kun. Happens to the best of us." He said.
Ukiya smiled at his sudden change of attitude.
"And of course, Ukiya taishoo." Shirei continued, looking at Shun.
Ruriko squeezed his hand and walked away to join Kaoru and the others.
"You've done a great job, Ukiya taishoo. As you were." He said, in a serious tone.
"Hai! I mean, Ryoukai, AEGIS!" he said, doing the AEGIS salute.
"The defeat of two Dark Gatekeepers has earned the far east base a great reputation. Expect many more missions from now but as for now, we were able to upgrade our technology with new inventions."
"Seems like we have a lot to celebrate, sir."
"Sugoi de yansu!!" Megane exclaimed, jumping out from one black cars. He held something in his hands.
"What is it Megane?" Shun asked, walking over to him. The other Gatekeepers ran over to him as well.
"THIS!!!" he held up a contraption of some sort.
"What is it?" Bancho asked, impatiently.
"It's a Polaroid camera. It creates the picture seconds after it was taken." He said.
"Picture time!" Kaoru said.
All the Gatekeepers were in chaos trying to find a good spot while Megane was readying the camera on the stand. The Gatekeepers convinced Shirei and Ms. Ochiai to be with them in the picture. Megane set the timer and posed with the rest. "say 'CHEESE' de yansu!" he said.
"CHEESE!" they said all together as a bright flash enveloped the area in light for more than a second. The Gatekeepers and Megane ran over excitedly. A square paper-like object came out of the camera.
"Eh? There's only black here, nothing else!" Ukiya complain.
"Fan it for a while." Megane advised.
Ukiya fanned the square paper for a while. The next time he looked at it, there they were.
"Wow!" Sugoi Megane!" Ukiya said.
"Just like Magic!" Reiko added.
"Let's go celebrate!" Kaoru announced.
Everyone looked at Shirei. An amused look lit up his face. "Okay. Get in the car and we'll celebrate."
The group cheered.
Ruriko stopped and looked back at Megumi, who didn't move from her place. She walked towards Megumi.
"Listen, Megumi. I wanna thank you for all your help…"
Megumi nodded. "You go on. I have stuff to take care of."
"Mou! Rurippe! Hurry up!"
Ruriko turned around and ran towards the car. She stopped again and asked, "Are you sure you're not coming?"
Megumi smiled. "I'll catch up one way or another." She watch Ruriko nod and head towards the car. Megumi sighed.

Megumi opened the door to the now empty room. She traced the edges of the bed with her fingers. She saw a pair of sunglasses on the corner table. She picked it up and examined it, remembering the nurse's words.
"I'm sorry but he checked out just a few minutes ago. It was against the doctor's orders since he was still recovering but we couldn't stop him."
Megumi looked at the sunglasses again. "Kageyama…"

(Please read!!!) Author's Final Notes: I know I told you guys Chapter 15 will be the last chapter but it was too long so I put it here. I'm sorry the
story wasn't too much of an R x S but it had hints in it. I know the ending sucks but please be gentle in the R&R's please. If I get good
reviews, I'll post the sequel to this story entitled, "The Realm of the Dark Gate" this happens near graduation and it's more R x S, mind you.
So, help me and review properly.
