Blaze grabbed Haru's hand and began to walk upstairs.
"Follow me" she said. They walked into her room and she slammed the door shut. With more force than he thought she had in her, she pushed him up against the wall.
"What do you think you're doing?" Haru asked in a flirty tone as he raised an eyebrow.
"Curse is lifted, right?" She asked.
"Right."
"So that means I can do this." Blaze wrapped her arms around Haru's neck and pushed her body up against his. The two leaned in and shared a deep kiss.
"God I've been waiting to do that forever!" Blaze said when they pulled back.
"And I've been waiting for you to." Haru replied. She playfully punched him in the arm. The two then got into her bed and pleased each other till the nights end.

Brooke and Kyou sat in his room, just holding each other, wishing for the night to never end. The more Brooke thought about the curse ending, the more she thought about her leaving. It seemed as though that was the thing that needed to be changed in this world, yet the portal hadn't opened and taken them away yet. She was thankful, but also wanted nothing more than to stay there forever with Kyou, just as they were, but she knew that wasn't possible. Fate had other plans for her, and there was nothing she could do about it.

Blaze woke up at about 4:00 in the morning, and just watched Haru sleep. She went over the nights events in her head, and was very pleased that for once she remembered to make her partner use a condom. She thought about where she and Haru stood at this point. She didn't think they were dating, and she didn't want them to. She hated having boyfriends considering she would always end up leaving where she was to go of to a different world. She felt him stir slightly and his eyes fluttered open. He turned to her and smiled. He placed a kiss on her forehead, then on her cheek, and then one last one on her lips.
"Hey beautiful" He said.
"Hey" She whispered.
"Can't sleep?" She shook her head.
"Nope." She said in a whispered tone again.
"That's alright; I'll stay up with you."

Akito couldn't sleep that night. He was too happy. Instead he just stroked Rae's hair and held her in his arms. After he had told Rae his feelings, he felt as if he had a weight lifted off of himself. He felt so happy, but at the same time so weak. He wasn't hurting like he was sick, he just felt as though he were fading. He didn't know what he was fading into, but he really didn't care.

Rae woke the next morning to find Akito peacefully lying beside her. She sat up slowly and go changed. She looked back at him and noticed that something wasn't right. He seemed so peaceful and happy, but she didn't see the normal rise and fall of his chest. She hopped onto the bed and nudged at him slightly. He didn't move.
"Akito? Akito?" She said quietly, then a little louder. No answer. She shook him, but he didn't move or wake up. She checked his pulse. Nothing.
"HATORI!" She screamed in horror. "COME QUICK!"

Blaze, Brooke, Rae, Shigure, Hatori, Hatsuharu's, Momiji, Yuki, Tohru, and Kyou all sat in Hatori's office. Rae was crying hysterically, as was Tohru and Brooke.
"Why?" Rae asked. "Why did he have to go? I don't understand he was fine just a few hours before!"
"No he wasn't." Hatori said plainly. "Rae, please don't be sad. You must understand you lifted the curse, it's thanks to you that we're free from it now."
"He died Hatori!" Rae said angered by his calmness.
"Yes, but you saved him. As the head of the house he was cursed, because he was dieing. Everyday of his life he suffered, and as far as we knew he wasn't going to be put out of his misery. You let him rest in peace. You let him know that he was loved. Thanks to you he is free." Rae went and hugged Hatori, still crying. As he rubbed her back, a single tear slid down his cheek.
