Wanna hear how stupid I am? I thought I lost all of my files and I started to freak out. Then I realized that the only thing that happened was that they weren't in order anymore. I feel like such a blonde right now. No offense to blonde's or anything, I just meant I felt like what blonde's are normally stereotyped to be… I'm going to stop talking now.

Disclaimer- -sigh-

It's almost spring again now. Time has certainly flown passed me like it never has before. I first arrived in Japan last spring. Things are… good.

Nakatsu's work has been going well for him. He has put out a few new marketing ideas that have been pure gold… Or at least that's what his boss said when he came over the house for dinner.

I can now say that I can cook Japanese food pretty well. At first it was a disaster but then I found some old cook book and it wasn't that bad.

Nigmeh still calls me although the phone calls aren't as consistent as they were at first. I'm missing her which I can say is my own emotion. Well… Actually there is a slight chance that it isn't. The difference between mine and Nakatsu's emotions is very close to impossible to know the difference between for me. I guess we've been together for so long that it's only natural.

Amane is six now. She had a large birthday party with all of her friends from school. Nakatsu's mother came too. She had been touring Europe and hadn't had the time to visit as much as she wanted to. She feels terrible for not being around after Rin's death and I can tell she's genuine.

I started teaching at the local college. Spending time alone in that house when everyone is gone reminds me of my own emotionless self that I normally forget about when around other people.

It's dare I say it, fun. The kids really are interested in what I did in Egypt. One day after my lecture I was gathering my things and a student came up to me with some papers. I thought he wanted help with the paper I had assigned.

He had a bunch of papers that he had printed from the internet. "I found these while researching something else and I thought you would be interested." Before I could really say anything else he had left.

Surprise, the papers he had given me were about my discovery of the tomb on my last say in Egypt. It turns out that my friend had been a lost pharaoh. No wonder he had been so bossy when I wanted to take a break from digging.

I found a certain part of the article entertaining. "The lucky archeologist who made this wonderful discovery was a man named Daiki Kayashima. We were not able to get an interview with him however because it seems that he has been missing ever since the discovery."

I'm MIA to the world. Apparently my friends thought that would make a more interesting story then me just going back to Japan to help a friend after his wife died. There's a picture of me on the papers. I was looking at some papers while diggers bustled around me. I don't remember there ever being a camera so I guess I was really concentrating to not have noticed it.

I took the papers back with me and put them in the same place I keep Nigmeh's picture. I'm not sure why I did that. I don't even think I'm hiding these things from Nakatsu anymore. I'm just hiding them for the sake of keeping my year in Egypt to myself. Make sense? Yeah I didn't think so either.

It was a big surprise to me when I came home one day from the college and found all of that stuff on my bed. The collection had started just as a picture, then as a picture and some papers but without me even realizing it I had put so much other stuff in there as well. I had put anything that reminded me of Nigmeh in there; I even had a travel brochure for Petra.

I found my roommate from so many years before in his own room. "Nakatsu." I knew he had found my stuff but I wasn't sure how he was taking it. He was sitting in a chair, his back to me.

I felt happiness emitting from him. He turned around with a grin on his face. "Wha-?" I was taken back that he was so happy he hugged me. "You had no idea how worried about you I was Kayashima!"

I didn't understand so I said so. 'What are you talking about?" He wouldn't stop grinning. "After I got over my own losses I started paying more attention to you. All you did was cook clean and take care of Amane and me. You never talked about your year in Egypt and the only thing I've seen you do that you enjoy is teaching.

"It's like you're life's purpose was to take care of me and my daughter. So today I got back from work early and decided to help you out by putting away the laundry when I noticed the drawer filled with stuff. Aw man you had me worried there for awhile!" He was so ecstatic I couldn't keep the smile off my own face.

"You're making me unnaturally happy Nakatsu. Why did finding my stuff make you happy?" He calmed down a little; probably because he knew me smiling from his own happiness was making me uncomfortable if not unnatural looking.

"Here I'll show you why I was so happy." He led me to my room and picked up the picture of Nigmeh. "For a while I thought Rin's prediction was going to come true. I thought you would never find love and never get married."

He remembered. An emotion I had never known before came upon me. I felt tears come to my eyes and hugged him tightly. "You're year is up buddy." He whispered when I let go of him.

"I-I… She said that we would never see each other again after this year." I reminded him with difficulty. Something strange was happening to me. I couldn't feel the emotions of the woman next door anymore.

"You're Daiki Kayashima." He told me as if who I was had any significance. "If there's anyone who could change there own future then it would be you." I stare at him. "You're not the kid everyone leaves behind anymore." He just nodded. "I know, I've finally caught up with you guys."

As soon as Amane got home from school the goodbyes started. She was sad to see me go but the funny thing is that I could barely feel her sadness. It was all drifting away. The only one I could steel feel clearly as day was Nakatsu.

When I hugged him goodbye I could feel him. When I was on the plane, a good number of feet off the ground he was still with me when no one else was. I was feeling things that I never felt when away from him.

When I landed in Egypt the first thing I did was go over to my love's home. I knocked twice on the door and she soon opened up. Before she could say a word I covered her lips with my own. I didn't need to have empathy or to be able read her aura to know way she was feeling because I was feeling the same exact thing.

THE END

Well that is the end of my Daiki Kayashima story. I'm sorry about how long it took to finish but my internet was dead like I mentioned before. Please review and tell me what you think. –smile-
