In the morning, the priest was the first on in the room, "Good girl Mina!" Anubis took the vile and left no trace of anything. "MR. AND MRS. AINO!" Anubis yelled from Mina's room Mina's parents stored in the room, and saw their daughter laying on the bed. "I'm sorry…but she's dead." Both Darien and Amara started to cry.
Huge lines of people were walking over to the Aino Mausoleum. In the front was Mina, being carried by Piccolo and Cale. And right behind her was her parents. Cye lurked in the bushes to see what was happening. He saw Mina being carried into the mausoleum. He quickly put two and two together and ran out of there. Anubis caught sight of him out of the corner of his eye. Anubis knew he had to leave quickly, but there was no one left to perform the services, so Anubis had to stay.
Sage sat on his bed watching TV, while his roommate was on the computer. "Ryo, are you finished yet?" Sage said into the next room.
"Why? Are you waiting for an e-mail from your girlfriend?" Ryo mocked. "Don't worry, I'll tell you if something comes up." Ryo went back to doing whatever it is he was doing. 'That jerk has been asking me about his e-mail all day. I'm sick of it. He needs to get a life,' Ryo thought. A window came on the screen saying 'MAIL FOR HALO@ AOL.COM.' "That's Sage's address." Ryo whispered quietly to himself. "Well, I'll tell him later. I'm gonna finish what I'm doing first."
A few minutes later, DING-DONG!!
The doorbell rang and Sage went to answer it. When he opened up the door, he saw Cye. "CYE! How are you!?" Sage's eyes filled with hope. "Well, how's Mina? Do you have news from Anubis?"
Cye looked at the ground, "No, I don't have any news from Anubis."
"Well how's Mina then!?"
Cye looked up at Sage, and Sage sensed something was wrong. "Sage, Mina's dead."
Sage's heart sank in his chest. "No, no, she couldn't be dead. We had a plan. Remember?"
"I'm sorry man, but I saw it with my own eyes."
"Then, I'm going to go see her!" Sage got his coat and his car keys and he headed out the door, with Cye tailing behind. "I've got to see for myself."
In the house. "There, now I'm finished. Sage you got mail" The next thing Ryo heard was the screeching of tires as Sage drove off. And another car followed him.
By nightfall, Sage had reached Tokyo. Police had spotted his car and were in hot pursuit. Sage ditched his car and was now driving with Cye It didn't take long for the police to notice this. Helicopters and squad cars raced thought he streets and flew through the air looking for Sage "Cye, make a left here." Sage ordered.
"But the mausoleum is the other way."
"We have to make a stop first." Cye made a hard left and was cruising down the street. "All right stop here." Cye stopped the car, and Sage got out. He walked a little farther up the street, and was greeted by a man in a long trench coat.
"You got my money?" Said the mysterious man.
"You got the stuff?" Sage.
"Yeah I got the stuff. You got the money?"
"Yeah, Sekhmet, I got the money?"
"Hey, don't use my real name. Here." Sekhmet handed Sage something. "That stuff will knock you out in about thirty seconds flat.
Sage took the stuff from Sekhmet. Sage dug deep in his pocket and gave him the money. "Keep the change!" Sage yelled as he went back to Cye's car. "Let's roll!" Sage closed the door and Cye stepped hard on the gas. Across the street from the mausoleum, Cye stopped again, and Sage got out. "I want you to get as far away from here as you can! Be safe Cye." Sage ran across the street, and Cye went the other way. Sirens wailed as squad cars skidded to a stop in front of the mausoleum. Sage entered, just as a bullet grazed his arm. He closed and bolted the door shut. Sage looked around and saw a candle lit pathway leading towards Mina. He followed it up some stairs to where Mina lay peacefully sleep.
"Mina!" Sage's face streamed with tears.
"SAGE DATE…THIS IS POLICE CHIEF YAMCHA! COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP, OR WE'LL HAVE TO COME IN THERE BY FORCE." Yamcha's voice rang loudly on a speaker.
"Mina, why? Why did you have to go?" Sniff. "I love you. And soon, I shall be with you for all eternity." Sage took out some liquid that he got from Sekhmet. Mina stirred a little, but Sage didn't notice. Sage opened the bottle and in one gulp drank all the stuff inside. Mina's hand moved a bit, and her eyes began to open. As her vision became adjusted, she saw Sage. "Sage." Mina said in a weak voice.
Sage's eyes darted over to hers. "Mi…na." Cough.
"Sage!" Mina regained full consciousness. She saw a bottle in Sage's hand and took it. "You poisoned yourself?" Mina looked into the bottle. "And you didn't leave any for me?"
"Mina…I love…y-you." Sage leaned nearer to Mina. Mina pushed forward and kissed him. But Sage died in her arms.
"Sage!? SAGE!?" Mina began to cry. "Sage, how could you?" Mina held her index finger to her temple. She looked at Sage once more. "Venus Crescent Beam Smash!" A beam of light lanced through Mina's head, and she fell limp on top of Sage.
The doors to the mausoleum flew open, and police stormed inside. Yamcha saw Mina and Sage on top of each other. "Oh my god."
Hours later, Both families were carrying Mina and Sage out in front of the mausoleum. Dais, Kayura, Amara, and Darien wept uncontrollably.
"I hope you're all happy." Yosho Masaki bellowed out to all in the vast courtyard. "I really hope you all are happy!" The mayor looked around at all in attendance. "Life for these two has ended, but you all live knowing that your stupid feuds have killed your only children. Now maybe you can put all things aside and live the rest of your lives in peace. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to visit my son at the Hardrock Cemetery. He's another casualty of this feud." Yosho walked off, then before leaving completely, he turned around. "If you ask me, you all need therapy."
.
A glooming peace, this morning with it brings
The sun, for sorrow will not show his head.
Go hence to have more talk of these sad things.
Some shall be pardoned, and some punished.
For never was a story of more rage.
Than this of Mina and Sage.
