"In The Arms Of An Angel"

Chapter 26

Going Home

Tohru looked on as the train, and Kyoko, flew over the twisted rails heading over the cliff. She saw Kyoko for the final time as she disappeared along with the train and its 30-odd carriages. A huge explosion shook Tohru and the others, smoke rose from the top off the cliff. Tohru ran over to the edge. All that was left was a pile of broken up and blackened carriages; and lots of smoke

No one said anything as Tohru turned round to face them, all of them looking shoddy and drenched in the pouring rain. Just then, Tohru noticed something; something black and shabby. It was covered in a layer of dust and the fake leather was peeling around the edges... The Inspectors' case

She ran over to it. The locks had been completely snapped off, it opened easily. She peered inside, not much was left, except 20 folders, each was covered in dust. She opened them one by one and looked inside. Everyone of them had a number ranging from 1 to 20 written on the front, with a photo inside, and a piece of paper saying 'TERMINATED'. She saw Haru's, Shigure's, Kyo's and Momiji's had no paper inside. But inside Tohru's was a note

'Tohru Honda,

Thank you...'

She gave it a puzzled look, there was no signature. By now, the rest of the group had come to accompany her

"C'mon Tohru" said Haru, holding out a hand "Let's go home"

Tohru put the paper in her pocket, and trhew the case over the edge of the cliff. It hit the floor with a loud 'bang'...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Cases packed and everything ready to go. They set off in Ha'ri's coach, towards the Bullet Train Station

"You OK Tohru?" asked Haru, sitting by her

"Yeah, I'm fine" she replied, giving him a weak smile

"Something's wrong" said Haru, giving a concerned face "You can tell me can't you?"

"It's nothing, just this trip... And knowing I'm never going to see Yuki again... Even after he was horrible to me... He was trying to save me from what happened today... And I thought he hated me... He wanted me to leave... I may have gotten a couple of scratches along the way, but I know I can safely say, Yuki's where he belongs now" she added, looking up into the sky out of the window

The stormed still raged on as they entered the station

"I'm going to get the coach onto the train" said Ha'ri, and with that he drove off

"This is it!" said Shigure "After neglecting my house for God knows how long... We get to go home"

"It seems a bit sad really doesn't it?" said Tohru "All the memories we've had here"

"Memories!" said Kyo "Pfft! More like nightmares!"

Everyone laughed

"What's so funny?" shouted Kyo "Tohru almost got killed!"

"You don't know about it do you?" said Haru

"Know about what!" said Kyo

"All passengers awaiting to board train number 815, please report to platform 21 for departure in 5 minutes... I repeat... All passengers awaiting to board train number 815, please report to platform 21 for departure in 5 minutes" came the sound on the speakers dotted around the station

"Oh great!" said Kyo, looking at the platform sign which read 'Platform 21' "Oh... Never mind"

Everyone laughed again as they entered the train, sitting down in a nearly empty carriage near the back of the train

On the way home, they chatted about what had been happening during their time on the train, Tohru finally told Kyo about Yuki saving her, although his plan didn't work, she was still safe

The storm still raged on, lightning blacking out the train every now and then, and passengers gasping in horror everytime it happened

Tohru was feeling guilty about letting Kyoko go over the cliff

"Listen..." said Haru "It's not your fault, she wanted to die"

"I guess..." said Tohru, looking glum as she pressed her head against the window. The vibrations of the carriage rocking her back and forth

Shigure was boring Ha'ri with his story of how 'he saved them all' when he remembered "My magazines!" gasped, standing up

"What magazines?" asked Kyo, raising an eyebrow

"Er... My educational ones of course..." Shigure replied, giving a nervous smile and sitting down slowly
