Disclaimer: Same as previous chapters ^_~
Author's notes: Here it is the last...well almost last chapter. This chapter actually wasn't the original ending I had, but since I like happy endings I wrote it. The next chapter will be an alternate ending and the original ending. I'm sorry for the shortness of the last few chapters. I hate writing short chapters, but I wanted to get this out for you before I leave for florida for X-mas break, where I won't have a computer to upload more chapters. So hopefully before I leave I'll have the other ending posted. SO enjoy this sweet waff/sap filled chapter. Lol, and I will get to writing a one-shot for Nasuti and Seiji! Hopefully with this experience I can become a better writer like those of who I have read throughout the years on this site and others.
Special thanks to all my reviewers!!! I love you all!
and Max-chan, thank you for sticking with me!! Your reveiws are always so nice to read and give me the kick I need to continue. You're so supportive of my work *hugs*.
Death's Angel

Chapter 16
Finale
Miyako arrived in the white waiting room from earlier. This time Suki wasn't there to greet her. The room had slightly changed too. Where once there had been an aqua orb floating, there was now a small replica of the earth and a gold orb.
"Miyako." Miyako's head snapped up and looked around the room, but no one was there.
"Y....yes?"
"We have made our decision." Miyako unconsciously held her breath as she waited for the answer.
"We have decided you will return to Earth and live the life you should have had in the first place." A feminine voice answered. Miyako was in shock. Had she just heard right?!
"Y...you mean I get to....to....."
"Yes. You can live and be happy with your loved ones. Be happy little one." The third and final voice said. She couldn't believe what she had heard. She was going to be able to live her life with Ryo! As a real live person. No more angel of death, no more lies, just a happy normal life like she had always dreamed of. Tears of joy welled up in her eyes and she gently brushed them away.
"It was a rather hard decision, but all things considered, you and the ronins deserve this."
"Thank you." Miyako answered. She was beyond happy. There were no words to describe how happy she was. Before she knew it she was spiraling down towards Earth for the last time, not to return to the heavens until she was an old woman dying in her sleep after living a long enjoyable life.
**********
Ryo and the others had been home for a day and slowly getting back to living their lives. The war against Chaos was over and the relief was immense. They had been through an incredible ordeal and not without it's consequences. They had gained a friend, almost lost their leader, and finally lost their new dear friend. Not to mention it had left Ryo in a deep depression. They had been watching him closely, making sure he didn't try anything stupid.
Touma looked up from reading his book and swept his gaze around the room. They had just finished breakfast and Ryo was sitting on the window seat staring outback. He was worried for his friend and with good reason. Ryo hadn't said a single word since they had gotten back the night before and constantly held a sorrow beyond words in his eyes. He didn't respond to anyone and he hadn't eaten breakfast. All he did was stare out the window.
Byakuen, noticing his master's distress walked over to the boy and rubbed up against him, pushing his head under Ryo's hand. The only movement from Ryo was the light stroking of Byakuen's fur. Byakuen purred in response to try to sooth Ryo's pain.
Everyone stared at each other with equal worry over Ryo's situation and uncharacteristic depression.
"Hey guys, how about we all go out tonight and celebrate! We more than deserve it." Shuu suggested from his place on the floor.
"That sounds like a wonderful idea. What do you think Ryo?" Nasuti asked. Everyone turned to look at Ryo and waited. He gave no indication that he had even listened to what was going on. He just continued to stroke Byakuen and look out the window. This just made everyone worry more.
"Just leave him be. It's going to take some time for him to come to terms with what happened." Seiji answered everyone's questioning eyes. They nodded and tried to busy themselves with something. Nasuti walked into the kitchen to start washing dishes, Seiji followed soon after, Shuu and Shin walked over to the TV to play video games, and Touma sat reading a book.
Ryo sighed as he watched the fluffy white clouds float by in the blue sky. It was a gorgeous sunny day, completely the opposite of how he felt. His thoughts were of Miyako and how he would soon join her by taking his own life. He didn't feel life was worth living anymore, at least not without... Ryo squinted as a flash of brilliant light appeared outside. As he brought his arm down from covering his face from the bright light he couldn't believe what he was seeing. At first he thought he was hallucinating, but after rubbing his eyes, she... she was still there!
Ryo jumped up from his seat and ran out the back door, not even bothering to close it. He ran out till he was only a foot away from her. She was there, right in front of him in a soft white cotton sun dress, golden hair down and flowing around her, blue eyes sparkling with happiness and love in the sunshine. He still couldn't believe it. He slowly reached out his hand to touch her cheek, thinking if he moved too fast she would disappear.
Miyako stood before him gently biting her lip as his hand came in contact with her warm skin. His touch was something she had been longing for, and finally he was there to make her wish a reality. She couldn't take it anymore and threw her arms around him and a tight hug; crying out in happiness as her body pressed against his. She brushed some ebony hair behind his ear and started raining soft kisses on his face and neck. Ryo's body and mind finally recovered from the shock and his arms wrapped tightly around her slim waist as he cried tears of relief and joy. Miyako gently wiped them away and pulled his head against her chest. His body shook with his sobs and they fell together to their knees into the grass.
"Hush now, it's alright. I'm here and I won't ever leave you." Miyako said, and kissed the top of his head. Ryo held her tighter, but not tight enough that it hurt her. He looked into her teary sapphire orbs and stroked her cheek.
"You have no idea how much it hurt thinking I wouldn't get to live my life with you. I...I almost..." Miyako laid her finger against his lips to stop him from talking and smiled.
"But you didn't, and I'm so glad you didn't. I never want you to do that, no matter what!" Ryo nodded. "I love you so much." Tilting her head up she laid her lips against Ryo's in a loving kiss. Ryo responded and quickly made the kiss more passionate, letting all his emotions through. Miyako moaned as he parted her lips with his gentle tongue. She allowed him to enter and their tongues melded together in a dance of desire and love. She had never felt anything so wonderful before and she wanted more. It was pure bliss. Hesitantly they broke apart gasping for breath. Miyako gently sucked his bottom lip and laid another searing kiss one them. They held each other as if their lives depended on it as they slowly came back to reality. Ryo held her head between his hands and kissed her forehead.
"I love you. You never got to hear me, so I'm telling you now. I love you with every fiber of my being." Ryo whispered. He pulled her against him for another tight embrace before standing up and bringing her with him; holding her hand in his.
They both turned towards the house when they heard a sob and smiled brightly when they saw their friends standing outside the door. Nasuti had tears streaming down her face as she covered her mouth with a delicate hand. Seiji stood behind her with a hand on her shoulder and a smile on his lips.
"Welcome home." Ryo said before the group took off running towards the two standing together in the middle of the field.

Wow, that was very sappy and what not. I apologize for any OOCness. I hope you have enjoyed reading my first real attempt at a series. And for those who are reading So Emotional, I hope to get working on that more as well. There's one more chapter to go with this if you want to read the original sad ending. Thanks for all the lovely reviews.
Review for for me pretty please! ^_^ The button calls you...
