I do not own anything in this story except Kirana, Sakana, and the jewel.
Someone asked me to make this last chapter, so here it is. I hope you all
enjoy.
~*~ Chapter 7: The final parting ~*~
Kirana looked at her three best friends—Yoko, Kuronue, and Sakana—and smiled at how foolish they were acting. The smile faded at she realized what she had to do this day.
It was exactly 3 years after her brother's death, and she had not let go of his memory, not moved on yet. She knew that she couldn't take Yoko or Sakana or Kuronue with her. This had to be done alone.
Silently, Kirana slipped out of the living room and into her own room. She grabbed the jewel that she had kept safe for the past three years, opened the window, and left the house.
She walked among the trees, slightly at peace. She would never truly be at peace until she let go and moved on. She walked to her old house in silence, looking around as painful memories rushed through her head.
Kirana climbed the stairs to her brother's old room and stopped. She heaved a sigh, then walked forward, each step seeming to take forever and take a great deal of energy.
Kirana stopped where Kanoto's body had been. Yoko had buried it in the yard, outside, as he would have liked. Kirana had not come.
"Well, brother......I have kept the family jewel safe, as you have asked me to," Kirana said, holding back her tears. "And I haven't let go of you yet. I now realize that I have to do that, as much as it hurts. I couldn't deal with the fact that you were dead, and therefore did not let go. I now know that I will never move on without moving on, letting go of your memory. So, here I am, saying good-bye," Kirana said. A single tear leaked down her face. "I will miss you. You might never know how much you meant to me. I will never forget you, but I will let go. Good-bye, my dearest brother, Kanoto." Kirana let the tears fall unchecked as she held out her hand, palm open. In her hand was the jewel, spots of dark blue, light blue, and purple staining it.
Kirana felt as if a weight had just been lifted. She smiled and walked out of her brother's room, closing a door never to be opened again behind her.
Outside, she found her friends waiting for her. Kirana smiled at them as she walked forward, her head held high and the tear-stains visible in the setting sun.
"Hey! What about Kanoto!" Sakana yelled as Kirana walked right past them, heading home.
"I've let him go, Sakana. I've let him go," Kirana whispered, smiling as the jewel turned completely light blue. "I had to. So I let him go. I've said my fare-wells. Now let's go."
Yoko followed Kirana silently, looking back at her old house. 'This whole adventure started right here....And ended right here. Fitting,' Yoko thought with a small smile.
Sakana was next, thinking. 'So, she finally let go. After three years, she let him go. It's about time!' Sakana had a small smile.
Kuronue was last. 'So, her brother is now nothing but a memory and a lesson to her. I was wondering when she'd finally come to do this.'
Kirana, however, wasn't thinking. She was living a few memories, all of them with Kanoto in them. She smiled as a wind blew past her, making her hair shift slightly. 'Good-bye, brother. Until we meet again, brother. Until we meet again.'

Okay, I know that it's short, but I like it. So that's all that matters to me. Please leave a review!
