A/N Well, this is my last chapter, the epilogue. It has been a pleasure writing this and I want to give a huge thanks to everyone who reviewed this story and enjoyed it. Everyone's reviews meant so much to me and I thank everyone for them! As I say good-bye with the close of this story, Enjoy!
Epilogue:
I'm sitting up in bed right now. I'm at the hospital. Someone is talking to me, I think it's Tohru. Whatever she's saying to me, I'm not listening. There's a huge weight in my chest and I feel as though my heart has been ripped out and there's nothing left, nothing but the scars.
She was a beautiful girl of only fourteen and she was taken from this world brutally. Kisa…Kisa. Her name just rolls around in my mind and I can't stop thinking about her.
Her beautiful, smiling face fills my mind, and then it switches. Her smile turns to a gasp, her cheerful eyes turn to steely orbs, and her amazing, pale skin becomes gray and cold. This image won't leave my mind, like it stays here because it enjoys seeing my pain.
After a while, Tohru's voice disappears and the room becomes quiet once more, I'm alone now. Outside, clouds are blocking the sun. It can't spread its rays over this place or my heart. The clouds are just like my despair, blocking any forms of happiness from shining through.
Even though my legs are killing me, I get out of bed. I wince in pain as my legs give out and I fall to the ground in a heap. I slam my fist into the floor, which earns me a set of bloody knuckles. Despite the pain, I grab onto a chair and reach for my crutches.
Propping myself up, I reach for the door handle and open it. I step out into the hallway and ask the first nurse where I can find Kisa Sohma. She tells me that Kisa is in room 119. Without thanking her, I continue my brutally painful walk to Kisa's room.
I slowly enter when I reach room 119. Kisa is lying in the only bed with a blanket covering her entire body. I make my way over to the bed and plop down in the seat placed there. Someone must have been here recently, visiting.
My hands move slowly and hesitantly but I eventually remove the blanket. I'm then staring at Kisa now and I can feel a brand new swarm of tears coming. They fall down my face and land in a small puddle on the sheets. Kisa's eyes are closed and I beg kami that they will open. After what seems like hours, they don't open.
I put my head in my hands and sob softly. I'm so focused that I barely notice the door open and the soft sound of footsteps approaching me. Warm arms wrap around me and I jerk my head away from my hands. Black hair comes into my view and I hear a voice I would never expect.
"Are you okay, Haru?" the voice asks. "Rin?" I ask. Rin nods and says, "I'm sorry" before leaving the room.
Sorry? Why would she be sorry? It's not her fault Kisa's dead. Rin's presence eventually starts to vanish and I begin to forget that she was even here at all.
I'm beginning to forget everything, not caring that it's just slipping away from me. I lay my head down on Kisa's bed and close my eyes. I'm going to sleep…for now. I know that I'll wake up soon, I'm lucky. …Kisa's not so lucky. She'll never wake up. Her beautiful eyes will never again see the light of day.
No matter whatever happens to me, though, she'll always be Kisa, the girl I cherished and loved. She'll always be my Kisa.
With that thought in his head, Haru slowly drifted off to sleep, smiling slightly, thinking back on the memories of Kisa…his Kisa.
Owari! (End)
So, how'd I do? Was it good, bad, let me know in a review! Thanks once again to all of you out there who read AND reviewed, it meant so much! This is my first story completed, I'm so excited!
