Hello all my loyal readers! I'm terribly sorry, but this is the last time we shall meet in Blood Covered Angel. *Sobs* But on the upside, your wonderful reviews have given me everything I needed to pull this thing off. So, in the spirit of Alfred Hitchcock, let's get this epilogue under way!

"Momma? Where are we going?"

Asked a little girl, who sat fidgeting in the back seat of the limo. Her pitch black hair had been tied up in a cute ponytail, and her reddish gold eyes glittered with curiosity.

"To visit an old friend sweetie."

I replied. Minako looked up at me, russet streaked orbs wide with excitement. She always enjoyed opportunities to meet new people. But this time, we weren't meeting someone alive. My heart strings thrummed a violent tune of sadness and loss. After seven years, it was still hard to deal with. Everywhere I went, his smell, his voice, his presence haunted me. I wasn't sure if it was my own grief projecting him there, or if he was really watching over me, just like Mother said he was. I hoped it was the latter.

"Where's daddy?"

Little Minako's voice broke me out of my reverie. I turned to look at my daughter. Even at six years old, she was stunningly adorable. The princess of both vampires and angels, she had the grace and elegance of a pureblood vampire, but the heart and beauty of an angel. (Note: I'm not saying vampires don't have heart, I'm just stating that angels are a little more tender, whereas vampires are quite stern.) At first the council had strongly objected to our marriage, but Kaname, being Kaname managed to convince them otherwise. The council was still a little wary of me, but on the plus side, I got to see everybody from the Night Class again. Who knew Aido and Seiren would get together? Minako continued to stare at me, searching for an answer. I smiled. Always the daddy's girl, Minako had been relatively close to her father, and it pained her when he had to be away for long periods of time.

"Daddy's busy right now. The Senate is still holding meetings."

Minako huffed.

"The Senate's mean. They know that Daddy's got you and me at home waiting for him, yet they still keep him locked up in there."

As much as I agreed to her statement of the Senate being cruel and unfair, unlike Minako, who was too young to understand the 'politics' so to speak, of the Senate, I knew that Kaname had to pull some pretty tightly knit strings and go overtime for us to stay together as a family. Small price to pay for the one you love.

"Yuki-sama. We've arrived."

I looked out the window, even on a relatively sunny day like today, there was still a haze of gloom. Of course, this was a cemetery after all. I thanked the driver, and stepped out, breathing in the still air that hung over the sleeping grounds of the dead. Minako shielded her eyes a bit, and grasped my hand tightly as she hopped out of the backseat. When her keen eyes caught sight of the headstones, she glanced up at me, curiosity written all over her doll like face.

"Why are we at a graveyard, Momma?"

"This is where my friend is."

Minako didn't say anything further, but continued to watch me with one eye, and survey her surroundings with the other. We navigated through the maze of headstones, until we came to the back. There, underneath a maple tree was his grave. I knelt in front of the carved memorial.

R.I.P.

Lucas Radlen

Gone, but not forgotten.

His breath is on the wind,

And his soul rests in our hearts

Tears ran down my cheeks. Gently, I touched the headstone. I could feel a slight warmth. Almost as if his spirit were here with me, responding to my touch. A soft gentle breeze blew through my hair. My eyes widened at the familiar scent and the voice that accompanied it.

"Yuki. I love you. I'll always love you. Even gone, you've never left my heart. I'll continue to watch over you. And remember, no matter what…I'm always by your side…"

Then, just as quickly as it had come, the breeze left. Although not quite. I could still feel Lucas's presence with me. He was right. I'd never left his heart, just as he'd never left mine.

"…I love you too Lucas. And please…watch over Minako too."

"Momma?"

I looked down to see Minako standing by me.

"What sweetheart?"

"That guy, your friend, he's watching us. I like him Momma. He's nice."

Smiling, I hugged Minako tightly. No matter what happened. Kaname, Minako, myself, we would be okay. We had a guardian angel protecting us. I stood up and took Minako's hand.

"Come on babe. Let's go home, so we can greet Daddy when he walks through the door."

Minako cheered, and skipped ahead, anxious to get back to the limo. I stayed behind and watched her go. I should've brought flowers, then again, flowers wilted and died. Even the most vibrant roses. The only things that lasted forever in this world were souls and true love.

Well, that's that! If you're an RK fan, look for my fanfic I have out right now called Death's Beauty. Also keep an eye out for 'Shattered Fragments of an Unfixable Past.' A fanfic coming soon! So goodbye for now loyal readers! Let's meet again sometime.
