Hey, I'm back. This is the last chapter of The Jagged Edge. Basically it sums it all up, and you'll see that one song really takes a toll all through the whole fic. Mucho thanks to The Used for they're wonderful song: All That I've Got.

Enjoy!

NightPredator: Glad you like. Well, sense you like the flashbacks so much, here's two of them in this chapter. They're short, but they bring it all together.

Chi No Hana: Thanks! I'm tired again, today, hopefully it won't show.

Almost a month later, Rei was back at home. Lily had seen such improvement in his behavior; that he had graduated early. Now it was less than a day away from European Tournament, and the group was still busy practicing and packing.

Flashback

"Congratulations, Rei, you have made miraculous improvements." Lily swept forward and gave the teen a goodbye hug. He stiffened under her touch, but smiled to himself. It had been almost two months at Relief Through Health, and now he was going home.

Rei packed another shirt into the suitcase and stood back. The Neko Jin scanned his room once and smiled inwardly, it wasn't pale…it had more than just a bed and a nightstand…it was home. He was home. Snapping out of his daze, Rei walked over to his suitcase. He packed one more pair of pants and closed the lid. Sitting his case of cds on top, the teen gathered his things in his hands and walked out the door to meet with his team mates. He was off for the tournament.

Flashback

Rei turned one more corner, his suitcase in hand and Lily by his side. He looked past the dry walls and into the black parking lot. One car had its headlights blaring a little more than five feet away. Rei grinned and watched as three of the doors opened. Teira, Emma, and Kai all closed the doors to the SUV and watched as they're team mate crossed the pavement. The Neko Jin gazed at all three of them, Kai's smirk, Emma's smile, and Teira's…tears. Before Rei could make another move, the Japanese girl came rushing over to him, and throwing herself at his shoulders. Rei dropped the suitcase to the ground and grasped the younger teen's waist in a hug. His head rested on her shoulder as her feet teetered alittle more than five inches from the ground. "Rei…" Teira whispered into his ear. He smiled and set the girl down on the ground, picking up his suitcase and staring at the other two team mates that were now by his side.

"Let's…go home."

Five minutes later, and all of the bladers were shuffling into the car, bags in the trunk. Rei and Teira gathered into the back seat, while Kai and Emma got into the front. The Russian was going to be driving half way while Emma gave him directions and then, Rei would be switching to drive the other miles.

"Let's go!" Emma laughed, turning on the radio until it was blaring. Kai gave her a critical glare and turned down the volume to medium. "Unless you want to end up in a ditch, let the driver concentrate." Emma rolled her eyes but nodded. They rolled out of the drive way and hit the intersection at 45 miles. A few songs passed on the radio as the silence stood unbreakable. Emma hummed the tune to the Goo Goo Dolls while Kai shifted in his seat, winding the car around another bend in the road. Rei gazed out the window, watching the trees and scenery fly by and Teira rested her head on her hand, she too was looking out the window. Suddenly Emma let out a laugh, turning up the music until the whole car bounced to the rhythm. "I love this song!"

Teira sat up strait in her seat, "turn it up." Emma nodded and set the volume to high. Rei wasn't paying much attention to the words for the first few seconds, but then the beat caught him. His eyes narrowed and he let the words gather in his mind.

"I can laugh all I want; inside I still am empty."

Teira turned to him, a soft smile on her face, and Rei finally understood to song. He smirked back, and stared ahead at the road.

"So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me.

I'll be just fine, pretending I'm not.

I'm far from lonely and it's all that I've got.

Emma tapped her foot to the beat and Kai smiled at her, "it's good…for The Used." Rei grinned, taking in the same lyrics that he had over a month ago. But this time…the meaning was different. And it always would be…a reminder of what he had been through. Just like the scars the song would haunt him too; serving as a story…traced in his blood.

"So deep that it didn't even bleed and catch me…

I'm far from lonely and it's all that I've got…"

THE END!
