Akumi-Chan- Well, this is the end dude and gals, I really hope you'll like this chapter; I'm also going to mix a song into it…so…yeah. It's really unexpected. As I have promised, this ending will be 100% kouzumi! Oh…hehe…no one died but the ending will be sad. =D
Disclaimer: Even if I sell 400 boxes of Hershey's chocolate bar…I won't get to own anything. The song " My Will," is sung my Dream and is the first ending song in the anime, " Inuyasha,"
Please Note: The song was originally sung in Japanese, but I'll write the English version of it and I'll type out the original version of the song at the end. Hope you like.

Emerald eyes inspected the chalky sky as titan autumn leaves began to loosen from the big maple tree. Those beautiful eyes blinked and turned away, the little girl sighed in displeasure. She was Izumi…Izumi Orimoto, suddenly, she heard someone knocking on her door,
" Hai?" The guest stomped in,
" Well? Aren't you going down for breakfast?" Izumi looked at her sister and silently followed her down the stairs. " Mom and dad are going shopping for clothes," Sumi smiled and handed Izumi a cup of iced tea, it really felt odd, because Sumi would usually scream and yell at Izumi for nothing, but why was she being so nice today? Izumi thanked her and accepted the cup, just when she was about to drink, Sumi let out a historical laugh,
" You idiot! You're as stupid as a pig! That's not iced tea! It's mud water," Her voice continued to echo on as teardrops accelerated down Izumi's immaculate cheeks. She wished that someone would stand her guard, some like…Kouji.
Quietly awakening...
I always, always wish
that these fleeting thoughts
would reach you...
Sumi continued to laughed non-stop, but Izumi just ran up the stairs and into her bedroom, she had enough with this family, 'someday…' she though, 'I'll have enough money to get out of here and have freedom,' Just then she heard the door slam shut, she could hear words…mean words about her, Sumi was telling on her.
" Dad! Mom! Izumi hit me and she's in her room so she can hide from you!" Izumi bit her bottom lips, how she wished she could escape,
" That foolish girl! We'll punish her right before the Fall Celebration begins!" Her gold strands of hair crept down onto her neck, ' I will show them…that I'm not weak…' She turned away from her window, but just then, she felt a pebble hitting her window, she immediately went to see what was going on.
" Izumi!" It was Ryoko and Hinata, but Ayumi wasn't visible.
" Hey guys!" A sad frown worn Ryoko's face,
" Sorry Izumi, but our dad is leaving tonight to Paris, so we came to say good-bye," Izumi frowned and waved a good-bye, " Good luck…" She never let them say anything back, she just closed her window and leaned her back against the wall.
Unable to move forward across "just a little more" distance
The way I see before me is always blocked
Every time the days I want to see you but can't pile up,
My strong heartbeat turns into heartbreak.
Unexpectedly the door flung open, in came her stepmother, she was carrying a belt with her. " Izumi you little schmo! You can do nothing right can you? Why did you hit your sister?"
" I didn't.." Izumi replied, in a cold tone.
" Don't you EVER lie in front me!" She held the belt in her right hand and wiped Izumi on the arm, sure it was painful, but Izumi was used to it. When the punishment was finish, her stepmother stomped out of the room, leaving bloody red scars on Izumi's left arm, If there is such a thing as "eternity,"
I want to believe, even if I have to take the long way.
Although I know that I've been hurt before because I'm clumsy
I won't stop; I won't give in to anyone.
She looked up at the ceiling, she wanted to remember the times she spent with Kouji, but he had completely changed, into a different person. He was now cold and mean. ' Is it because of me?' She quizzed herself, she would give in anything to see him and talk to him again, but every time she tries, he always ignores her.
I think of you
and that alone is enough
to make the tears start to flow now
I always, always wish
that these fleeting thoughts
would reach you...
As time flew by, it was already seven, the Fall Celebration would begin at 7:30, Izumi walked up to her closet and pulled out her beautiful blue kimono, she had been saving it ever since her mother had died. She quickly fixed her hair and walked downstairs, her family was already dressed, and Sumi was wearing a red kimono with designs of bird on it. Her father was wearing a black suit, along with her stepmother, she wore a green dress with pink roses on the bottom. By the looks of Sumi, she could tell she was jealous of her.
I've known all too well about pretending to be strong.
But since then, my doubts have vanished.
" Get in the van!" Izumi's father snapped at her, she anxiously climbed in, body trembling with terror as if someone had been killed, she was afraid of her own father, he was not only mean to her, he rarely even noticed his own daughter, he even sometimes forgot her name. Izumi sat in the back, she watched as autumn's leaves shivered on the tree branch, she reached into a small pocket on her kimono, took it out and gasped quietly, luckily the rest had not hear her. She found a bracelet she made when she was little, the beads read, ' Best Friends,' she had gave one to Kouji, just then, Sumi saw and snapped bracelet away from her.
" Who's this little friend of yours? Huh?"
" I…" Her words were unable to smooth out, Sumi gave her a sharp stare and then threw it out the window, Izumi wanted to cry…but she knew she shall not be her weak self anymore.
There's definitely things I want to show you
And so many words I want to hear
I want to see all sides of you, when you laugh and cry
So I'll stop waiting
and seize my "chance."
Finally the family reached the place, it was beautiful, there were games everywhere, and sakura pedals blew everywhere from their tree branches, but Izumi wasn't very excited, she wanted to see Kouji so badly that she began to cry. But holding back her tears, she spotted Kouichi, Izumi smiled hopefully, she skipped down the cement ground and went up to him.
" Kouichi-Kun!" Kouichi turned around and smiled,
" Oi Izumi-Chan,"
" Do you have any clue where Kouji-Kun might be?"
" I'm sorry to tell you, but he is moving again, our dad is moving to France, but I am living with my mom so…" Izumi gave him a sad frown, " Oh…and he told me to give you this, and he came here a few minutes ago and won a teddy bear for you…" Kouichi grinned and handed the stuff animal to Izumi.
I think of you,
and I feel like that alone is enough
to make my heart grow stronger.
I always, always wish
that these fleeting thoughts
would reach you...
Izumi nodded and ran off towards the train station, it was the only station leading to other places, her legs brushed over bushes, but she did not care, she hugged the hazel little bear tighter and smiled. 'Deep inside, you're still really kind..' She finally met her destination and stopped, she inserted some coins in and grabbed a ticket, the train was going to leave in 1 minute, she quickly ran to the train, and there he was, the door was opened for any remaining passengers, Izumi smirked and rapidly yelled, " KOUJI! KOUJI MINAMOTO!" The boy turned around, and gave her a little grin, " Why? Why didn't you tell me you were leaving?" Izumi asked, still standing outside to the opened train door, passengers walked in one by one.
" Because I wanted you to be happy,"
" I'm happy now…when will you come back?"
" I won't…my dad found a really good job in France…we can't stay together forever Izumi, you have to know that…there is no such thing as forever." Her knees slowly dropped to the ground….
" Someday.." She started, " We will meet again…you'll always, always stay in my heart."
I think of you
and that alone is enough
to make the tears start to flow now
My distant voice can't reach you now, but so that someday
it definitely will...
