I'm very very fast. This is the last chapter of "Light Cuts Through
Darkness." It is also very emotional for me, seeing as how this will be my
first ever multi-chapter story I have finished! Anyway, read it, cry,
laugh, do what you want to, but just remember to review! The more ending
reviews you guys give, the more I'll want to write a sequel!
Love ya lots,
Erin
PS: NO, I don't own Digimon or Sailormoon.

Last time:
But who took the blast for Serena and me? Who was the brave soul that risked his or her life to save those of two silly little teenage girls?
That's when we saw who. Our hero. Crumpled lifelessly in the corner of the park, hidden by bushes.
1 Week Later:
Serena~
That pig headed asshole. He had to go and get himself killed. He was always the one that if the situation ever came down to fight or risk someone's life, he'd risk his life just to save mine.
Because he loves me.
I know this for a fact. He told me when he was dying.
*FLASHBACK
Kari and I were running over to him, and I fell to my knees. Cradled his body in my arms. Cried over him. And then he took a breath.
He was still breathing, but it was labored, and very weak. He didn't have a lot of time left, so he wasted not one second of it.
"Sere…I love you."
"Don't," I said, emotion thick in my voice, tears streaming down my face.
Kari sat to the side, watching, quite in awe, quite in shock, mostly confused because if we lost him…did we lose ourselves?
"I have to tell you this. Serena, I love you, and I have since the first time I ever met you. Sure, sometimes stuff got hard for us but we still made it through."
"Just be quiet. Be quiet." I whispered, the words staying on my lips, sounding selfish and foolish outside your head when your one and only love is dying in your arms.
"Serena…you'll…never be alone, as long as you and the others are together, you can keep my memory alive."
And then his body went limp, and his eyes glazed over. And there was no more him.
*END FLASHBACK
And my last words to the man I loved were, "Just be quiet. Be quiet."
I suck, I thought, as I cradled my head in my hands.
Tears slipped through my fingers and fell to my black velvet dress. Somewhere, in a different world, the priest was going on and on about how wonderful he was.
But I already knew how wonderful he was. He was everything I needed, wanted, and he really did take a part of me when he left.
A hand gently placed itself on my back. I looked up to see Kari with tears in her eyes also. She hugged me. She knew without having to tell me. She feels my pain.
The whole front row was just us Sailor Scouts and Digi-Destined. Most of us bawling, most of us trying to keep composed. Some of us never really knew him on a personal level, but they felt the pain all the same.
That's when the eulogy was over. His best friend finally got done talking, and the priest said we could pay our last respects to him.
Slowly as if in a daze, I rose, not caring who was trying to come with me, those who stayed back. All that mattered is that I saw him, and no matter how far-gone his soul was, make him know that I did love him too.
As the casket came closer, my head became more clouded. I tried to compose myself the best I could, and looked inside it.
His dark hair lay flat on his pale skin. His eyes were covered by his almost translucent eyelids. I cried out and immediately Kari rushed to my side.
I fell to the ground sobbing, hitting the soft dirt over and over in anger. Mad at the world. Mad at the evil. Mad at me.
Two pairs of arms wrapped me up and lifted me off the ground. At least they were still there for me. They loved me enough to know my pain.
Kari hugged me and we rocked back and forth.
She understood me.
We were really one in the same.
I gave the second pair of arms a bigger hug.
They understood me too.
They may not be like Kari and me…
But I really do think
That Tai is my soulmate.
And though it may take time
I will learn to love him as much as I did love Darien.
I walked away, looking back just once more
At Darien's lonely grave,
Then walked on
Towards my future.
Cause the hard days will get better.
Because it does...
Light cuts through darkness.
THE END
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Does anybody else totally hate the fact that I am a writing genius? The twists, the turns, the cliffhangers and mysterious endings! That was the completion of "Light Cuts Through Darkness." I hope you enjoyed it, and I encourage you to read some of my other stories as well. Please also read the following authors stories:
Serena Rose, Britaneia, Sailor Lilith, Caspian, Sailormoonshadow, and Yashamonmaster
Please review, because I am basing whether or not I write a sequel based on if you do!
Love you, and until later,
Erin
Love ya lots,
