Day 7, the last day, rolled around quickly. It was early morning, as Yahiko sat on the dojo roof thinking of Kaoru's words from yesterday.
"I'm such a burden to everyone...Here i'am just worthless and weak,"Kaoru said slowly and weakly through tears."I...can't take this pain...anymore... I'm nothing, but dead weight...who always get kidnaps and crys over everything...Ever since Yahiko died I haven't been the same..."
"Hnn...,"he muttered, but suddenly Yahiko shook his head really hard realizing what he was doing,"What the hell? Why should I be worrying about this! It's an illusion! It's not real!"
"Actually, sometimes illusions can be real,"Hikaru stated calmly behind Yahiko. He turned around listening to her words,"Of course an illusion isn't real, but sometimes it can hold the future." Yahiko's eyes widened and looked down at the dojo.
"S-s-so...will I die?"he asked scardly. Hikaru smiled and shook her head slowly.
"Iie, that's not real, but the men who you saw kidnap the one you call, Kaoru, could come true, demo...it really actually hasn't been certained though."Hikaru replyed. Yahiko sighed with relief and worry.
"Could that kidnapping...actually happen?"Yahiko whispered to himself.
"It looks like the Spirit Ball is almost fixed,"Hikaru said. Yahiko faced towards the ball and saw that only five pieces remained. Yahiko smiled to himself relieved that he could finally go home.
Suddenly, Yahiko heard the shoji door slide open.
"Huh? Who could be coming out this early?"Yahiko said flying down. He saw Kaoru as she slowly closed the door. She seemed to be crying. Yahiko's mind was in the state of confusion. Why would Kaoru wake up at this hour? and Cry randomly? Maybe she was mourning over Yahiko again.
"Good...bye...Kenshin,"Kaoru said through tears. Yahiko raised an eyebrow.
Is she going somewhere? Yahiko thought as he watched Kaoru run out the gate.
"I'll be right back, Hikaru,"Yahiko said.
"Don't worry, Yahiko. Where ever you'll be you'll still be taken back home,"Hikaru said. Yahiko nodded as he went to catch up with Kaoru wondering where she was going.
Yahiko was only following Kaoru since the illusions could happen in the future.
He followed her to a nearby cliff that was hundreds of feet up. She stood on the edge of it looking down.
"What're you doing!"Yahiko yelled.
"This is...the only way to get rid of my pain and Kenshin's pain. I can't act normally anymore...now that Yahiko's dead and Kenshin is in physical pain...'cause of me,"Kaoru said as she lowered her head hiding her eyes, but you could see tears fall.
"Kaoru's going to commit harakiri?"Yahiko said to himself in horror.
(harakiri-suicide)
"This world would be better without me...,"Kaoru said through tears.
"Iie! Thats not true!"Yahiko yelled at Kaoru, but of course she didn't hear him. Kaoru took tiny steps to the very edge of the cliff as a breeze passed by."Iie!" Yahiko yelled.
On the Kamiya Dojo roof,
"Its almost done..,"Hikaru said staring at the Spirit Ball. Only one more piece to go,"You'll finally go home, Yahiko."
Suddenly the last broken piece had gone to its normal spot. Hikaru gasped slightly as she saw the Spirit Ball began to glow.
By the cliff,
"Kaoru! Don't do it!"Yahiko yelled flying as fast as he could reaching out his hand. Suddenly Yahiko saw as his body began to engulf from a white glow that surrounded his body. "Iie! Not now!"Yahiko screamed loudly.
Yahiko still flew to Kaoru with his hand reached up to her. Just then he saw the white glow slowly covering his eye sight. and As the glow began to cover, Yahiko could just barely see Kaoru jump off the cliff. "IIE!"Yahiko yelled as the white glow devoured him whole.
Yahiko opened his eyes slowly noticing that he was surrounded by the white and blue swirls again. He got to his feet weakly noticing that Hikaru was there. "Hikaru...,"he said softly. Hikaru smiled and walked infront of him.
"Before you go, Yahiko. I just want to say that...I've had a nice time with you,"she said sweetly. Yahiko's eyes widened as Hikaru took his hands gently and pressed her lips gently against his. She closed her eyes slowly as Yahiko's eyes remained widely open.
She parted her lips from Yahiko's and just simply smiled. "Remember, Yahiko the illusion could come out as the future...so...be careful,"she said,"Good bye...Yahiko,"Hikaru added as she slowly dissapeared.
Yahiko suddenly noticed that he was on the dirt ground in the rain.
"What the..." Yahiko sat up slowly as he noticed rain was still pouring on him. His hair was flat and his clothes were soggy. He ignored the rain and pressed his fingers against his lips still feeling the warmth from Hikaru."Hikaru...,"he said slowly.
Yahiko got to his feet looking at his surroundings...he was home.
"Yahiko!" said a voice behind him. He turned around and there was Sanosuke, Kenshin and Kaoru. Kenshin held the umbrella tightly over him as Sanosuke just stood there without any protection from the rain.
"Kaoru...?"Yahiko said blinking a few times trying to clear his vision from the pouring hard rain. He then saw Kaoru run up to him as she was soaking wet also.
"You're alright!"she loudly said getting to her knees and hugging Yahiko tightly.
"Of course I'm alright!"Yahiko said pulling away from the hug, but he saw Kaoru's tears mix in with the raining droplets.
"You're such a brat! Don't ever scare me like that again!"Kaoru said hugging him tightly again. Yahiko rested his head on her shoulder and hugged back.
"I won't...,"he replyed as Kaoru cryed tears of joy.
