Durian: Thank you to all those who has reviewed, especially Sakura Butterfly… This shall be the last chapter of "My Sonata".

~Shinta's Decision~

"Do not touch my woman!" yelled Shinta

He stared hopelessly at the two people he loved most dearly. He did not have the heart to choose, they both meant too much to him. Before Shinta could decide, his father ran towards the nearest sword. The sword plunged into his stomach and in a matter of seconds blood gushed out of his mouth. He smiled warmly to Shinta and fell down to his knees. Shinta ran towards his father, the kidnappers were a little shocked and just stood there for a few moments.

"No, father, father! Please don't die!" screamed Shinta

Raye could no longer bear to see Shinta in this state nor does she want his father to die. If only she had never met him…

Raye said, "Naruto-san, if you can hear me. I have lost and I will bid your every wish, if you can reverse the tragedy that has occurred." After these words, Raye's heart was shattered and she felt liked the world had crushed into her.

When Shinta heard these words he let go of the still body of his father and ran towards Raye.

"No, don't leave me, not you too…" squealed Shinta

In less than a minute Naruto appeared.

"I knew you'd come to beg me. What if I say no, I won't reverse this tragedy?" asked Naruto

"That would mean I have won and I will live with Shinta forever onwards," smirked Raye but she dropped to her knees and added, "I do not wish to live a guilty life nor do I want Shinta to hate me. Please, I beg you."

Naruto clicked his fingers and the kidnappers disappeared.

"As you wish, my darling. However, their memories of you shall disappear…" said Naruto as he pulled Raye into his arms. He was about to kiss her but she pulled back.

"One last request, I want them to be rich," demanded Raye

"Whatever you say," said Naruto as he savoured Raye's lips and purred, "You taste good…"

"NO, NO, NO, Raye I cannot live without you. Please don't leave me!" screamed Shinta.

He tried to grab her and take her away from Naruto. However, the two just faded slowly in front of his eyes. There will always be a line between mortals and gods… Shinta could not hold the tears that came streaming down his eyes. He cried and sobbed for his loss but he began to feel very dizzy and drifted off to sleep.

~*~

"Argh! Argh!" screamed Shinta

"Shinta, wake up! It's just a nightmare, everything's fine now; I'm so glad you finally woke up…" said Bunta softly

"Father," said Shinta but try as he might he could not remember his dream nor the rest of his life! Did he get amnesia? Gulped Shinta. He looked down at his silk clothing with beautiful designs and decided he wasn't poor.

"You've been sleeping for 3 weeks son," cried Bunta

"Did I? I'd like a walk, father," requested Shinta

"Sure!"

Shinta looked around his house and was shocked to find it so big. He also had many maids and attendants. He could not recognise his house as he stepped on the unfamiliar grounds… He continued touring his house until he came upon a flute. He grabbed it and placed it next to his chest. It gave him a sense of familiarity, which he could not explain why. Though the flute felt precious to him, it also ached his heart.

~*~

"Are you sure?" asked Setsuna.

"Yes, please help me, as a friend, please help me," cried Raye

"As you wish, " sighed Setsuna; secretly she did not want to help Raye. However, she did not want to see Raye in sorrow everyday so she went with her plan. Setsuna took Raye's flute and left it in the Fuji estate. Without the flute, Raye's immortal powers will fade…

~*~

On the night of Naruto and Raye's wedding, Setsuna had come to help Raye in dressing up. She felt really sorry for her friend, as Raye did not smile. In fact, Setsuna had never seen Raye smile after she came back from mortal land. Raye was looking in a mirror while Setsuna brushed her long black raven hair. To Setsuna's surprise, a tear came out of Raye's eye, a sign of mortality. It had been 3 weeks since Raye disowned her flute and already signs of mortality showed. Setsuna solidified the tear and hid it somewhere as it may be in need in the future…

After the wedding ceremony, Naruto was very happy. He had gotten the woman he craved so much for. He curled his arms around Raye from behind and whispered in her ear, "You are mine."

She let go of his gasp and shouted, "I belong to nobody!"

She pulled out a knife and before Naruto could ask, "What are you…"

She cut up her left face and poured some liquid onto it. Her face began to heal but a horrid crinkled scar took its place.

"Why?" asked Naruto

"Because I HATE YOU, now that I'm ugly do you still want me?" asked Raye

The liquid Raye had used was irreversible for mortals. Naruto tried to heal her face but it remained the same.

"Why?" he asked again

"Because I LOVE SHINTA," replied Raye

Without the flute, Raye cannot stay in heaven. A god's life is considered to be the highest rank in status. A mortal's life on the other hand is harsh and cruel, they are considered to be lower beings. Shinta meant so much to Raye that she decided to give up her status…

"Good bye, Naruto," said Raye as she faded in mortal land. She has lost her power to stay in heaven.

"I shall curse you two to become lovers and be separated for every generation," screamed Naruto

~*~ Wounds Heal- Part Two ~*~

Kaoru stared at the knife and her eyes were a cold ice blue. She held onto the knife and began advancing to Kenshin.

Kenshin looked at her with the knife and grinned, "You want to kill me?"

Kaoru was about to stab Kenshin, but as she pulled it back to plunge it into his bowel. Kenshin's reflexes reacted and his head hit hardly at Kaoru's forehead. Blood dribbled down Kaoru's head and she slowly lost consciousness. Her knife dropped beside her. Kenshin used both of his feet to grab the knife so that the left hand could reach it. He kept it in his right pocket; next he used his legs again to carry Kaoru into his left hand. He smirked she could come in handy. He hoped she doesn't wake up before one of his capturers come back. Kenshin stared at Kaoru and felt a sense of familiarity to her he shivered. He couldn't stop himself and planted a kiss on her cheek.

Sano have finally come back and decided to check on Kenshin. He swallowed some saliva and hoped Kenshin was still bounded by the chains he tied so tightly around him. To his horror, Kenshin had an unconscious Kaoru in his hands. He had no idea how and why Kaoru got so close but his main aim was to save her.

"Release me or I shall kill her," roared Kenshin

Sano saw the glint of the knife in his hands and decided to follow his command. Sano stared at the cold blue eyes of Kenshin and released him. After Kenshin was released he held onto Kaoru.

"Where is my sword?" demanded Kenshin

Sano sighed and did as he wished; he gave Kenshin his sword back. Now his life may be at stake, he gulped.

N.B Sorry, I did not realise Kenshin's eyes could change colour, shivers. Therefore from now on, purple means his normal, blue means you are getting on his nerves and amber means he wants to kill you!

Kenshin tucked the sword into his waste and ran off with Kaoru.

"No, you must release her, I have done my side of the bargain!" cried Sano

~*~

Kenshin did not know why but he wanted to be close to Kaoru. He carried her on his left shoulder until he came to a cliff. Strange he thought, he could have sworn that this path did not lead to a cliff. They were near the edge of the cliff before Kaoru stirred. She realised Kenshin was holding onto her so she struggled. Kenshin released her as she grabbed his left hand and bit it hard. Without hesitating, Kaoru looked at the cliff and charged herself to Kenshin. "Die I hate you!" cried Kaoru. She only intended to push Kenshin off but he grabbed her with him. He knew that the impact of her push will send him to his death so he decided, "You shall die with me…"

As they continued to fall which seemed like it'd never end. Kaoru stared into Kenshin's soft purple eyes and felt a very deep closeness. She hugged onto him and did not realise she silently cried, "Shinta…" Kenshin responded to her tight hold and couldn't figure out why he felt a close bonding with her. He silently whispered, "Raye" but he did not realise he said that.

~*~

When Kenshin woke up he thought he had died. He found himself naked in a small hot spring. The air was foggy so he couldn't see much. This must be heaven or hell he thought. What astounded Kenshin more was his right hand moved and this proved he wasn't alive. He had lost all hope that it'll ever heal. It surprised him again that his body felt like it was next to something smooth. He thought it was just the structure of the hot springs but it shocked him that it MOVED.

Kaoru had just stirred and wondered why there was weight on her legs. Slowly the fog cleared and she realised she was naked. To her horror, the red haired man sat on top of her and the top half of her body was exposed. Kaoru screamed…

~Epilogue~

Setsuna was so happy to find Kaoru/Raye reincarnated with the man she loved. She decided to help their relationship and heal their wounds. She is very close to the God of Medicine and asked him to heal them. Sasuke gave Kaoru a plastic surgery and reconnected Kenshin's dead tissue. Kaoru regained her pretty face and Kenshin's arm was good as new. What he did not understand was why Setsuna want to place them in an immodest way. Setsuna hugged Sasuke for his help and was delighted to see her best friend reunited with the man she loved. She secretly placed them in a hot spring and spiced it up with Raye's preserved tear. She hoped the little immortal power the tear holds would stir up their memories and reunite them…

~THE END~

After Note-

Durian: Hehe, I hoped you liked it. Thank you for reviewing I really appreciated it. I am hoping to make a sequel to "My Sonata". It'll be called:

~*~Our Future~*~

Summary: Kaoru and Kenshin find a way out of the cave through a tunnel. (They get dressed of course!) Because Kaoru hates Kenshin's guts, they separate and walk onto different directions. Little did they realise that they have walked into the world of the 21st century. Durian smirks HA this would be good. Let me give you an example:

Kaoru steps onto a park out of the tunnel. She continues to walk until she came upon a road. She stares in horror as a shiny vehicle with four wheels advances towards her. She picks up a stick for protection as the car continues to advance towards her. BEEEEEP cried the car; in terror Kaoru starts hitting the vehicle with her stick.

"What are you doing?" cried a man inside the car as he walks out to check on it

"Are you crazy, I just bought this car and now it's all scratched," he yelled.

The man takes a closer look at the crazy woman and his world tumbled.

"Rei?" he asked

Please review if you wish me to continue… ~_~
