Chapter 15 Epilogue

Snow was falling onto the clean sidewalk outside of Kaiba mansion. Seto sat by the window as he watched the snowflakes fall. The door to his office opened and Mokuba entered. "Big brother, won't you at least come out and have some fun?"

Seto didn't reply, he only continued to look out the window. Mokuba hung his head in disappointment; he closed the door and left Seto alone.

"How is he?" Yugi asked

Mokuba shook his head. "It's been a year since it happened already. I wish Kumiko would come back and slap some sense into him. But she won't come back, not ever."

Everyone looked when they heard the click of the door shut. They watched as Seto left Kaiba mansion, "Big brother where are you going? Shouldn't you get a jacket? Seto?"

Like a zombie Seto left his home, he walked, he knew where he had to go, he had to see her, talk to her.

Seto sat down on the ground, flowers in hand. He looked at her beautiful smiling face. He put the flowers next to her. "Hey!" he said with a very forced smile on his face. "How are you?" he asked, but there was no reply. "I've been pretty well, everyone is at my place. Mokuba's having one of his winter wonderland parties again. Mokuba is growing into a great business man, and soon he'll be able to take over Kaiba Corp. I plan to go travel, just like I had promised you I'd do. Live life to the fullest just like you said."

Tears fell down into the pure white snow. "I can't take this anymore!" He shouted. "Nothing is all right! How can anything be good when you're not with me?!" he cried. "Kumi, where are you now? I miss you so much. Do you even know how much pain I've had over the past year? You won't let me be with you, you make me stay here, but do you know how much that kills me?" He said as his hand hit the grave marked Kumiko Kaiou.

Flashback

BANG!

Seto stood there in complete shock. He watched as the body fell to the ground. It was as if time had stood still at that moment. Kumiko had stood in front of Marik as Seto fired the gun.

As if waking from a trance, Yami Marik was pushed from power as his Hikari had suddenly grown in power taking over his body once more. "Kumiko!" he shouted as tears poured from his eyes. He hugged the bleeding girl to him, "Why did you do something so foolish?"

"Because…I don't want anyone I love to die." She said as she strained to voice her words. "You and Seto mean the world to me. I never wanted to hurt you," tears leaked from the side of her eyes, she slowly reached her hand out to caress his face, "I didn't want to hurt you or Seto." She coughed, hurting at the energy it took to talk

"Don't talk, we'll get you to a hospital, you'll be fine." He looked at Seto who was still standing there. "What are you doing?!" Marik shouted, "Call an ambulance! Do you want her to die?"

That seemed to wake Seto up as he scrambled to find his phone, "Hello we need an ambulance here at Kaiba Corp right away!" he screamed into the phone and ran towards Kumiko who was no coughing rather violently, Marik was by her side trying to prevent more blood from the wound.

"Seto, it's fine." She said as he took her hand. "Maybe it's better this way. Besides, they won't make it in time."

"This is all my fault. We'll get the finest doctors, I won't let you die. I should never have come back, I should never have woken up, I shouldn't have pushed you away."

Kumiko shook her head, "It's fine, I've had a good life. I used to be nothing but daddy's little puppet, then you gave me a chance to live my own life. You taught me to love," and turned her gaze to Marik, "and to be loved. That's already a great accomplishment." She smiled.

Seto hugged the woman he loved to him, "I love you Kumiko. Please don't leave me." He sobbed into her hair.

"There's still so much I wanted to do that I won't be able to. Seto promise me, you'll live life to the fullest. Let me see the wonders of life through your eyes, let me hear the sounds of happiness around you with your ears, let me feel the joy with your heart. Promise me."

"I promise that you'll do all this with me Kumiko. You'll live with me to the fullest. I won't let you die."

"Promise me Seto…" and with a final breath, Kumiko's hand went limp.

End flashback

"Why did you leave me? I need you so much."

"You're being an idiot." Someone said.

"What are you doing here Marik." Seto growled, "Have you not caused enough problems."

"Today's Kumiko's birthday. I would have the right to come see her don't I?"

"You have the nerve to come here, you made me kill her….NO she died because of you!"

"Kumiko died for the ones she loved. She did not want us to be hurt. Yet here you are wasting her sacrifice because you're too stupid to move on." Marik shouted back. "Why don't you wake up Kaiba? Kumiko's gone and she's not coming back. You should honor her last wish. She wanted you to live happily, so that she to can be happy. Here you are giving her lies, and you're making the people around you suffer too."

Seto didn't reply, but his eyes flashed a bit of realization.

"You can be an idiot and suffer. I wouldn't care. But if Kumiko knew this, she too would hurt and that's the last thing I want to see. If you loved Kumiko you would move on. You shouldn't have to lie to Kumiko, you should be able to come here and tell her about the REAL things that you have done, things that would make her happy. I can't make you change Kaiba, I can only say these words in hope that you will wake up." Marik said. He put down flowers on Kumiko's grave as well.

"I hope you will not let Kumiko down." And with that Marik was gone.

Seto continued to sit in the snow, he shut his eyes and exhaled and dreamed of Kumiko.

Tears streamed down his face as he remembered the beautiful teenage girl that had stood up to him so many times, slapped him twice, and gotten drunk on him. (chosen: that's a good memory?) He also saw the beautiful violinist who would never play their song anymore.

"Are you sure you're up for this big brother?" Mokuba asked

Seto only smiled and nodded softly. He put his hand on his now not so little brother's head. "Don't worry Mokuba. I'll only be gone for a couple of years. Can't be that long to learn the violin. I want to be able to hear Kumiko's song … no our song again.

Mokuba watched his brother walk through the gates to the plane. "Thank you Kumiko," he whispered, "for making a song for Seto."

Seto sat in his seat and looked out the window, 'Kumiko, rest in peace, I know what path to go. Though I'm leaving, you'll always be with me. We'll see the world together, together in eyes, heart and soul.

The end…
