At a grave, a young man muses

I stopped my car and walked out to the simple twin tombstone. It looked so awkward at there by itself. "I know it wasn't necessary, but I thought you guys deserved one." I knelt closer speaking in an odd prayer-like manner. "I can still hear your music, Azami. You and I were one and the same. That despairingly hopelessly sad song. We both had to suffer because of our love. Well, actually we weren't the same. You were much more of a man then I could ever be. The way you stayed with the one you loved all those years...and even to the very end."

I turned to the other. "Ma, I can't forget about you either Master 1. We sure had fun together. Yeah, you were a pretty cool guy. Heh, you got along pretty well with Ken too." I chuckled bitterly, "That's a feat worthy of praise itself. We sure coulda been great friends if it wasn't for that..."

I paused, and then shrugged it off. "I went to were your bar was yesterday. But, there was nothin' but black ground. Someone must of burnt it. I'm sorry, even if it wasn't your real job you seemed to take pride in it... By the way Azami, I gave your violin to a nice young girl at the flower shop. I hope you don't mind. She's real good at playing it and I know she'll appreciate it as much as you did."

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot," I reached for my parcel, "I brought you flowers, pink bachelor buttons 2 and rabbit eared irises to be exact. I hope you enjoy them..." Now what...? "I know I should say a prayer for you guys or somethin' but... I've never been good at that kinda thing..." I could at least remember them.

"I see, so your lover was killed." He paused, a sorrowful edge crept into his frown, "I also have experienced this. I...I loved her, but I knew that if she loved me back it would hurt her so much. So...I stopped asking her..." He's head dipped lower, "Even though I couldn't destroy my love for her."

I hesitantly pushed myself off the dirt. "The suns setting. Guess I'd better be headin' back to the shop." I slowly made my way to Seven. "Take care...you two." Huh...I know I should forget about them and move on, but... I can't. Hm, I guess that's just one of my bad habits...

I don't care whether you're a man or a woman, as long as I can be with you...

Aa, you definitely beat me Azami, I never could have loved someone as much as you did.

Kumon: The next (and last) chapter will be on how Ken has coped with these incidents

1 Youji casually refers to Ayame as "Master"

2 Azami flowers (I think)
