Eighteenth Birthday.

On her eighteenth birthday, Arashi was sitting on a train, travelling to the Kouya Temple.

Sitting in the train, the now young woman of the seven seals felt her heart squeeze with grief as she remembered that it was only one year before that she stood in the kitchen with Sorata, chopping an onion.

The last year's occurrances weighed heavily on Arashi's heart. Kamui had given his life to protect Tokyo and his kekkai still stands... he had managed to protect those that he loved. However she had lost the one man whom she had trully loved-Arisugawa Sorata.

The prophecy was fulfilled leaving a void in Arashi's life.
[Flashback]

Fuuma had leapt back to protect himself from the falling bridge.

"You should have chosen to die back when you were young" he spat at her.

Feeling sure that her life would end there beneath the falling bridge, the only thought that crossed Arashi's mind was that at least Sorata would be safe.

However as she expected the rubble to drown her something blocked it.

On opening her eyes, the maiden saw the Gohodoujinn-Sorata had come to protect her, even from a distance. Fuuma crushed the gohodoujin with the bridge and Arashi felt her body scream out in anger.

As she weaved her way across town to where Sorata was, she prayed that he was sound, there was the fear that he would leave her without knowing how she felt about him.

She hoped that his love for her could be the one and wasnt the cause of his death.

Finding him lying in a pool of his own blood, he managed to choke out words asking if she was alright. Regardless of his own injuries and wounds, all he cared about was whether he had protected the one he loved. Arashi's heart was torn as to what she could do for him. Her love for him was overpowering and yet.......and yet if she loved him in return, she could hurt him even further.

Soon after, he lay in the hospital wing, proclaiming his love for her,expecting that she didnt love him in return.

Arashi felt the waves of tears break over her as she confessed her undying love for the boy from Kouya.

Sorata's gentle eyes consoled her, telling her that she was beautiful and that she didnt have to say that she loved him, it was only his love that mattered.

"I guess I can understand it in my own way. Will you let me believe that you have feelings for me?" Sorata had said lying his bed, bandaged and broken as he stroked away her tears.

"A guy like me...?" She had merely nodded, unable to express her true feelings for him. "Don't cry. I'm really happy."

"I never cried in front of anyone before. That's why I couldn't control..." she began.

"I guess it means that I am the first to have this." he had said with a sincere smile. "Can I have one other thing?"

And they had shared their first kiss making Arashi's mind and heart united to feel only one thing.

'I wish this moment could never end'

It was true. Their love would ultimately be fatal....she couldnt let this happen and so the next morning, she left for the Dragon of Earth's lair.

He would not suffer at her expense

[End of flashback]

Alone in the train carriage, Arashi wept into the sleeve of her kimono. She would never be whole again....
[Flashback]

Fuuma had cornered Arashi on the floor with the shiken only centimeteres away from her. As he drew back the sword Arashi shut her eyes, wishing that his laughter could resonate once more in her ears, that Sorata would just hold her one more time and that things could never change.

As she heard the sword plunge into the body, the metallic scent of blood filled the air, and drops of blood spattered her face, and yet she could not feel the pain. Opening her eyes, Sorata had blocked the sword with his own body and as a result the sword had passed straight through his heart.

[End of flashback]
Body shaking with her tears, Arashi whispered his name to herself over and over as she arrived in Kouya. She wouldnt let his death be in vain. Ofcourse she would never forget him and never stop loving him..although ... her mind blamed herself for his death, she shouldnt have let him fall in love wit her. They could still be alive today if they hadnt fallen in love. But what kind of life would that be? A life where your love is in your reach, your body mind and soul calling your true love to you and yet knowing that if you indulge in your feelings, your life and love will be ripped away from you.

Arriving at the Kouya Temple, she saw the stargazer waiting for her. There were tears at the corners of his eyes, as Arashi ran towards him to hold him in a tight embrace.

"Ojii san...Sorata's gone! Why did it have to happen? Why? What good had come out of it"

Wordlessly taking her by the hand, the old man led her to a tree where in the bark, Sorata had etched his mark.

"I hope the one I'll love will be hot."it read

Placing her hand on the crude carving, her tears began to flow once more and for the final time.

"Sora Kun" she whispered as she ran her fingers along his writing.

'One day we will meet again....'
