Jinpachi was running, frantically searching for Enju. Suddenly he caught sight of her, "Enju... please... listen to me."She stopped and whirled around, "Why do you want to talk to me for? All you do is pay attention to Chiyo anyways!""You're wrong, Chiyo was just my friend, there was never anything more between us!""Well from what I saw it definately didn't look that way," she retorted."Argh, why do you have to be so difficult!""Well you're the two-timer here!""When are you going to understand!?" he grips her shoulders with his hands. "You're the one that I care about, you're the only one that I've truly cared about in that way!"This silences her into shock, "What are you trying to say?""I'm saying that I like you!" At hearing his own words he thinks about his words. "I like you... I like spending time with you, and not because you were Millerna, but because I truly like you as Enju."The tears well-up in her eyes again, "Baka... Don't you know how much I care about you already?"As her tears fall down the side of her face, he holds her and she rests her head on his chest. "For a long time now, I've been in love with you... but you were always so blind, and never even noticed my feelings.""Why...? Why didn't you ever tell me you really felt that way?" he murmured."Kawai (not that's not kawaii, [cute] I mean kawai, at least that's how I think it's spelled, it means scared). Back then it was your engagement to Alice, and then it was Chiyo. I didn't want to feel the pain of your rejection again.""What makes you think I'm going to reject you?" he asks gently."That time, when I kissed you on the roof, you pushed me away. After that... I wasn't sure about your feelings.""That was then. I was a stupid fool, I was feeling rejected at the time and then I, myself, rejected someone in return." he tilts her head to look at him. "But this is now, and I'm sure of my feelings now, and I can see yours as well." he gently wipes the tear from her eye and leans down and kisses her."Ahh, baka! What makes you think that means that you can kiss me!" she shouts, pushing him away."Huh?" he gets this adorable confused look on his face, "But I thought..."Suddenly Enju couldn't hold it in any longer. "Hahahaha... your face... it's just to funny. I couldn't resist, that look on your face... Hahahaha."Hurt etches his face as she continues to laugh. "Is this just some kind of joke to her? Here I just spilled all my feelings and she just laughs them back into my face."Enju notices his hurt puppy dog face and stops laughing, "Don't look so hurt, I'm just playing with you." She smiles and takes a step closer to him and plants a kiss on his lips, "Jinpachi no daisuki!"
(Daisuki - also translated as love, but literally translates as "big like". Suki - like, Dai - big.)He smiles back and leans in to kiss her again, this time she didn't push him away.(if you're lost as to what Enju was doing, she was pretending she was Jinpachi when she kissed him in one of the last chapters)
~Elsewhere~
Alice covered her yawn with her hand as she rested her head on Rin shoulder, "I'm getting tired already..."Rin blushed at her head on his shoulder, "Yeah, I'm getting a bit tired too, maybe we should head back now." Alice gave no vocal answer and just nodded her head, rubbing it against his shoulder making him blush even more.Unknown to them, Ken was still tailing them from behind. "Well they seem cozy," he sneered to himself. They rounded the corner and came upon their apartment building."Well I guess I'll see you later then," Alice said as she stepped into her apartment, leaving Rin to gaze at where she just was.
~sigh~"Guess I'll take a nap as well." He wandered into his room and looked out the window after plopping down onto his bed. Suddenly he hears movement from the room over. "What could that be?" He puts his ears to the wall and he can hear Alice softly humming in her room that was the apartment right next to his. He smiles and lays back down on his bed.In her room Alice had taken off her jacket and hat and was lying peacefully on her own bed.
~Outside the Apartment~"Hmm... Alone at last." Ken smiled wickedly as he snuck into the apartment. Inside, Alice had already fallen into a quiet slumber on top if her covers without changing into her pajamas (she's still in her short skirt). Ken slowly crawled into the empty apartment. Alice's bedroom door was wide opened, so he slithered into her room in utter silence and shut the door behind him. Only the sound of Alice's rhythmatic breathing could be heard throughout the apartment. Suddenly Alice's face becomes contorted, as if she's experiencing nightmares and she struggles in her sleep. Then she opens her eyes...
"KYAAAAAAA!!!"
(Kya - a cry of pleasure, horror, or surprise)There, right on top of her, was Sakamoto Ken. His face was so close to hers that she could feel his breath on her face."GET OFF OF ME!!!" she cried. She tried to lift her hand to slap him, but soon found out that both her arms were pinned down by Ken's. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!?!?" she asked frantically.His lips turned up in a sinister smile at her fright, "You don't have to yell so loudly, Hitomi..."Alice froze at the mention of Hitomi. How could he know? Suddenly his lips forced themself onto hers. Alice tried and struggled to break free of his grasp, but to no avail. Tears were now streaked down the side of her face. He continued his assault on her by kissing down her neck, all the while she was crying and squirming under his grasp. Then he put one of her arms under her all the while having the other still pinned down with his other hand. He continued to kiss her down her throat and nearing her chest. He slipped his now free hand under her shirt and started caressing her breast and feeling her smooth body. Now Alice knew exactly what he planned to do with her, and she screamed at the top of her lungs:"SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!"Her cry echoed through the walls and into the apartment room right next to hers, jolting Rin up from his sleep. "Alice..." Her cries continued as he hurriedly slid open his window and stepped out onto his balcony, he peered over into her room and his face contorted with horror at what he saw. He caught sight of her pleading, tear stained face and his eyes widened. He quickly climbed over onto her balcony and pounded his fist on her window for Ken to stop, but he didn't. He looked up at the disturbance and again smiled his evil grin and kissed her again, all while watching Rin's face. Ken then took his free hand out from under Alice's shirt and snaked it under her skirt and panties. Rin's face turned into one of pure horror as he realized what Ken was about to do. Ken then slid his fingers into Alice, making her cry out in pain and torment."Please... Stop..." she begged through her tears, but he didn't stop. Now Rin was banging furiously against her window, trying to break into her room and stop Ken. He stopped and spotted a plant pot on the balcony floor and used it to smash through the window. He ran in and literally ripped Ken off of Alice."WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING YOU BASTARD!?!?!?" he demanded all while shaking Ken violently by his collar."Well, gee, what's it look like? I'm having some fun," he replied calmly."YOU SICKO! Is that you're idea of fun, forcing yourself onto someone?" and with that Rin slammed his fist into the side of Ken's face. He was pushed back into the wall near the window, "Hmm... touchy, but I'm not done yet." He then sprung forward and grabbed Alice off the bed and took her over to the balcony before Rin had time to react."NO! Alice!" he takes a step forward, but Ken motions for him to stop."One step closer, and I pull both her and me over," he threatened, and to prove he meant it, he sat her on the railing reading to push her down."Alice! Don't hurt her!" he was stuck, he couldn't do anything. If he tried to attack him, Alice might fall, and he very well couldn't just leave her to that creep."The clock's ticking, Van," Ken said. At the mention of Van, Rin's head lifted. "How do you know that name?""Now, now, don't take that type of tone with me. I'll get angry, and I just might have to kill you're sweet little Alice here," he said in a voice dripping with honey.Meanwhile, thoughts raced through Alice's head. How was she going to get out of this one? Ken, that bastard! She watched as Rin struggled to figure out what to do, he was obviously torn. "So... what are you going to do? Why don't you just leave me and Hitomi's reincarnation here back to our business?" he jeered.At this, Alice's last nerve cracked, "You DAMN CREEP! I'd rather die than ever be with you!" She then tried to kick him but missed so she then grabbed him by the head and tried to wrestle him, all while sitting on the railing of a 15 story high balcony. Then the inevitable happened, she tilted backwards in a loss of balance and started to plummet towards the ground, dragging Ken with her."Yahhhh!""ALICE!!!" Rin climbed on top of the balcony.Alice was now falling, "So... this is how it's going to end? At least I brought down that bastard Ken." she looks up at the balcony, it seemed like time was going by so slowly, she catches a glimpse of Rin on the balcony, but she sees him as Van. "Why do you look so sad, Van? At least... we got to see each other one last time..." Alice continued to fall to the Earth."Well, it seems to be the end of the line for me." Ken thought as he plummets to the ground. Just as he's about to hit the pavement, he fades away and disappears."No! Hitomi!" Van/Rin jumped off the balcony and started to plummet towards the ground along with Alice. "Alice!" He tried to reach her and caught hold of her hand. "Van... Please... If I ever needed you, it's now... I need your help... NOW!" The pendant around Alice's neck started to glow pink. Suddenly their descent was slowed to a light float as white feathers swirled around the two. Rin touched down lightly on the street and Alice opened her eyes. "White wings... Rin... You're an angel," and with that, she blacked out. Rin looked at his wings. "I can't believe this... Van... Arigatou." He then scooped her up and took her back into her room, flying her up there. He places her on her bed and watches her sleep. "Alice... I couldn't even protect you from him, I'm so sorry."~Alice's Dream~
The ground that Hitomi is standing on starts to give out as it crumbles from beneath her. She starts to fall and reaches out her hand to hold on to something, suddenly a brillant flash of light and someone is flying towards her. He takes her hand and smiles at her softly.~End of Dream~
Alice awakens to find Rin in her room with his wings outstretched and his feathers falling everywhere."Rin...?""Alice..." his voice sounded pained. "I'm so sorry, I couldn't stop him before he did that to you. You must hate me." he turned away from her in shame. She watched his muscular frame standing there in a flurry of feathers. "What are you talking about? If it hadn't been for you, who knows how far he might have gone? You saved me. Not just from him, but you saved my life as well," she got off the bed and embraced his bare back, her arms encircling his chest and her head pressed to his back and feathers. "How could I ever hate you?"He turns around, still in her arms. He then wraps his arms around, "I was so scared, I thought I was going to lose you again." He tightens his grip around her, "When I saw you fall... my heart nearly stopped again." Then Hitomi's pendant started to glow again, enveloping the two in it's pink light and transforming the two into Van and Hitomi.~As Van and Hitomi~
"Oh Hitomi, how I waited to so long to see you again," Van muttered into her hair."Van... You helped Rin save me, didn't you?" he nodded. "I've been waiting for the day where we could talk again! I always wanted to ask you... before we were reincarnated, you wanted to say something... What was it?"Van took a deep breath and pulled Hitomi slightly away from him so he could look at her. She looked back up at him, "Well?"Another long pause, Hitomi patiently waited for his answer."It was this," and with that he bent down and softly kissed her on the lips. She kissed him back and wrapped her arms around his neck as he wrapped his around her waist. They broke apart and he whispered in her ear, "Aishiteru... For so long, I've been in love with you. When you left, I never got the chance to tell you how I really felt, but now, I've been given the chance to tell you, to tell you that I love you. That was my wish." "I love you too, I never want to let you go!" Hitomi then pulled him into another passionate kiss."Finally, what we've kept in our hearts for so long is free. We're finally together. Even though we're dead, we live on in the atmosphere of this world. Here, we can watch over Gaea and the Earth. Our wish is finally fulfilled. Now our spirits can be together forever. Even if we die, I know that we'll always meet again, no matter what life, no matter what form. Aishiteru... Van."Then Van and Hitomi's spirit once again left Rin and Alice's body, leaving them in a passionate kiss. They broke apart uncomfortably."Umm, are you OK? Are you hurt physically?" Rin asked, she shakes her head no. "Let's go for a walk."Rin throws on a shirt before they head out. When they got to the entrance of the building they saw Enju and Jinpachi kissing."Ahem!" Alice interuppted.The two quickly break apart looking flustered, "Are you two together now?" Alice asked excitedly. They nod their heads while blushing. She congratulates them, then she notices that Chiyo is gone and asks where she is. They both answer the same answer, she went back to where she belonged. (if you're confused, I mean her spirit is free now). Enju then asks where Ken is. Rin and Alice don't answer at first, their minds go back to the nightmarish incident. When they finally speak, they answer the same way: He's where he belongs.

A Few Authors Notes
Well, that's a lot shorter than my other chapters. I plan for the next two chapters to be the end. I think I wrote this chapter better than any of the others so far. It's a bit darker with the mention of rape in it though (if you didn't get that, well now you do). The next chapters will sum it up, and then I'll write an epilogue or include into the last chapter.
