Taichi sat bolt right up in bed, drenched in cold sweat. His brown eyes were wide and his breathing was heavy. He had just had a dream about Koushirou… and Koushirou was dead in it.

Taichi got out of bed, dragging his feet and going to take a shower. Once he was finished he pulled on some boxers and went back to bed. Only to be awakened by someone knocking on his door.

He got up and opened it, and fell back, right onto his ass, shock complete on his face when he saw Izzy in the doorway, standing.

"I thought… what about… wait…" Taichi glanced at the clock, seeing it say 10:56 PM.

"I'm fine, Taichi." He smiled warmly at the brown-eyed boy, and leaned down to hug him. "Everything is okay." Taichi couldn't help but burst into tears. The rest of the night they just held each other.

Right before Taichi fell asleep, he heard Izzy whisper in his ear, "I love you. All I ever needed was you." Then he felt Izzy move off of the bed. "And what I wished on the wishing book will ensure that we are together, in the end." Izzy bends over and kisses Taichi's cheek. "Goodbye for now, my dear Taichi."

That morning Taichi walked to school alone. Everyone avoided him and everywhere he went he heard whispers. Where is Sora?

Amaya, now quite skinny, although a few days ago she had made a show of eating extremely fast and an extremely large amount of food, and had screamed to all of the people in the cafeteria, "I am not a pig!" could not find any pride. Carrying some of the stuff she had collected of Izzy's over time, the obsessed girl accidentally tripped.

Sora, who had obviously cut her hair once more, walked up and grabbed a picture. "Oh, so you and Izzy were close friends?"

Amaya stood up and grabbed the picture back, "He may have posed with me in the shot, but be barely remembered my name."

"Your obsessed, and it's sick. Get a life. Why do you even have a dead boy's stuff?"

"Koushirou isn't dead." Amaya replied roughly, cleaning up her stuff. "Besides, if he were, you were a close friend and wouldn't be smiling when you said it."

"I beg to differ…" Sora said, and then giggled, turning around.

Amaya finished cleaning her belongings up and ran out of the door of the classroom, keeping so that Taichi could not see her as he passed through the halls.

Taichi continued walking down the halls, hoping someone to say 'hi' back to him. No one did, one girl even tried to trip him.

Taichi went in, looking at the stone-faced once-friends of his at their desks, and sat all the way in the back, the one to the very right, and looked out the big window.

One of the very rare boys in this school, who sat next to Koushirou, got up and walked over to Taichi stiffly. "Do you know what happened?"

"No. What? You enjoy ignoring me?"

"Koushirou is dead. He died at 10:56 PM last night."

Taichi stared at his desk for a moment, then stood up and started to walk forward. He didn't get very far, though, because he fell in a dead faint to the wooden floor.
