"Hello, and welcome to Sunshine Station!" Ayame grinned at a small family who walked into the restaurant. The husband looked at his wife, then down to his young daughter. "Please follow me to your table." Ayame smiled and grabbed three menus, walking to a table in the restaurant.

"Thank you," The husband said and sat down, his son already running outside the back door of the Station. "Um, will he be safe?"

"Absolutely!" Ayame grinned again and walked off. The husband stared after Ayame, wondering vaugley if he was the child molesting type...

Tohru walked into the church where Terra's fineral was being held. She looked at all the people dressed in black, well, most of them wore it everyday anyway. A lot of Goths there... Tohru smiled weakly at a few of them and sat down next to a man with bright pink hair. He looked at her, his bright blue eyes surrounded by heavy eyeliner. He blinked at her a few times.

"I'm Mikey..." He said and held out a glove covered hand.

"I'm Tohru Honda, pleasure to meet you." She smiled and drew back a bit as a giant grin lit up his face.

"She talked about you allll the time! You're like.. my idol!" Tohru just stared at him for a few moments. She? An idol for someone? Unbelieveable.

"Why?"

"You're the perfect human being! So kind, considerate, always thinking of others before you." Mikey said and waved his arms for emphasis. Tohru raised a brow, but listened to him anyway.

It was after the service, and Mikey was still following Tohru around. She sighed softly as he came up to her with more praise.

"And you know what?"

"What, Mikey?"

"If someone loved you soo much that they might die if you left them, I bet you would never leave! Like, you know, a guy for instance!" He said and grinned at her widely. Tohru gazed at him for a few moments, then gasped. It all clicked. Finally!

"Thank you so much, Mikey!" She gushed and kissed his cheek, then went and set some roses on Terra's grave. "You were right, Terra. I need to follow my heart." Tohru smiled and gave Mikey another hug, then ran to her car. She had someone who loved her that much.

"Goddamn Shigure... took the car..." Kyo muttered as he slung his bag over his shoulder, pulling on his hat. He was done at work for the night, and it was surprisingly late actually. Kyo looked at his watch, "Shit," He cursed and walked out of the Karate Studio. He locked up and turned to the right, walking down an alley. He turned onto an even darker alley and narrowed his eyes, pausing as he heard a scream of pain. Kyo followed the noise and dropped his bag. Infront of him was a group of thugs beating up what looked like was one of his students. "HEY!"

"What the hell do you want?" The biggest, and most likely the leader, looked at him through a curtain of greasy black hair.

"Leave the kid alone," Kyo growled, crouching as they began advancing on him.

"Or what? Gunna use your karate on us? Pussy." Another sneered.

"Cut the shit. Bring it," Kyo growled and avoided a punch. He grunted as two grabbed him from behind, another punching him in the stomach. "Bastards!" Kyo yelled and threw them off, then knocking the big one out. "Hey, you okay?" He asked as he ran to his student.

"Yes," the child sniffled.

"Good, get up and go." Kyo helped him up, praising the heavens the kid wasn't beat up too badly. He smiled a bit as he watched the kid walk away. He spun around as he heard a clicking sound. A gun. "Shit... Kid, run!" Kyo yelled and ran at the thug who had managed to get up. "Bastard, let's see you pull that thing on m---" BANG!

BAM! It's done. This was chapter eighteen. It only look a lifetime. Its really short, but dramatic.
