Last Time:
It went on for an hour more before Jasmine and Flame were released to go visit there friend in the hospital. When they got there they asked where Tai was and when the receptionist told them they went running. The lady tried to call them back but they didn't hear her as there hearts beat painfully in the chests. They open the door to see...
Chapter Three: Disappearing Act
Flame opened the door to find... Tai being covered with a white sheet. Jazz lets out a horrified scream as she races forward. Flame freezes in the doorway as he watches Jazz mourn over there now dead friend. Flame turned and left without looking back. Knowing his time here had come to an end.
Flame walks to a nearby park and collapses on a bench. A large screen is above him where the news is displayed so that everyone can see it. He stares it for a long time before he puts his head in his hands again. Sobbing uncontrollably.
"Hero Kira Yamato is still missing. Athrun Zala has this to say to him." A reporter said.
Flame looked up and saw the face of aggrieved Athrun. Flames tears doubled as he held out a hand to the screen. Wishing he could go back to them.
"Kira whatever it is you have done we will forgive you. Just please come home. We need you..." Athrun said.
"That was Athrun Zala calling out to Kira Yamato. Most think Mr. Yamato is dead while others believe he was kidnaped because of his knowledge. Whatever the case if Mr. Yamato is still alive and you have seen him please contact..." The reporter went on.
Flame looked down quite depressed. A hand landed on his shoulder which caused him to jump.
"You know him?" Jazz whispered as she sat down.
"Once upon a time." Flame answered.
"You had me worried... I can't lose you too Flame." She held onto his arm while burying her face in it.
"What if it was my fault that Tai died?" Flame asked quietly.
"I would be angry but I would forgive you." She murmured.
"I have something I need to tell you if you want to continue to hang around me." Flame whispered.
"What is it?" Jasmine pulled her face away from Flames sleeve to look at Flames face.
Flame looked around before looking into Jasmines eyes. Tears were still present but she had a quizzical look about her. Taking a deep breath and releasing it he knew it was time.
"I've being haunted by a person I once cared for. She used me and when I dumped her... her anger grew. When she died she kept that anger and now she wants to destroy me. By killing me inside out." Flame looked down while waiting for Jasmine to say something.
"The danger I felt..." She breathed.
"Was meant for me. I should have left after two weeks." Flame whispered.
"The cold presence that is constantly by you..." Jasmine had more tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Was the person haunting me. You are now the only person who knows this." Flame looked into her eyes.
"I want to help you Kira." She whispered.
"How did you know?" Kira looked down.
"Tom figured it out. He knew the first time he meet you. He told Tai and I but he cautioned us not to tell you until you were ready to tell us." Jasmine looked down as well.
"I'm not that person they portray me as. I'm not a hero. All I want is to live my life like a normal person. I always have but with Flay around I will never have a normal life." Kira cried.
"I can help you. I wont let Flay hurt you anymore but I think we should leave this city behind." Jasmine said seriously.
Flame just looked at her. A small smile creeping onto his face. He nodded his head and as one they got up. Days later after the funeral they both packed there stuff. Kira being used to it found it easy to figure which was important and which to lock away so that he could come back for it in the future. Jasmine was having a hard time packing her bag.
Tai was cremated and was made into two diamonds which currently are hanging from Kira's and Jasmine's necks. After placing there items in storage and biding Tom and Bailee goodbye they disappeared. Not knowing if they would return or not.
(A/N Well I hope you all liked the chapter. Thank you for the reviews everyone! Please continue to R&R. Now that Jasmine is traveling with Kira the story should pick up pace and get longer. No cliffy this time... But I think I can arrange for one in the next chapter. Thank ya for reading my story!)
