Normal POV

"How long?" Fine acted like she didn't hear anything, so Shade asked again. "How long have you been able to see me?"

Fine didn't answer his question and said," I'm sorry, but I have a surgery to go to right now." Angrily, Shade snapped his fingers. Within seconds Fine realized that Shade stopped time. "Doesn't it take a lot of strength and power to be able to stop time like this?"

"Tell me everything you know and everything you're about to do. I'm not going to let you leave this room, until then. Explain everything so I can understand," Shade said with anger in his eyes.

"You... are Hisakata Shade," She said. "We were good friends before. You have a little sister that you met before. She has pink hair and your eyes, her name is Milky. Milky...was suppose to die, 6 years ago. She got hit by a car that day, she's always had a weak health, so she was in even more danger."

"No wonder you and that pink haired girl seemed so familiar to me. Is this what Moon was talking about?"

Fine nodded. "Milky was your most important person back then. You made a deal to switch places with her and you ended up in the hospital, at least that's what I think happened. That's all I know about what happened to you back then. I don't know why you're a Shinigami now, but it's probably because you made that deal."

"Then what are you doing now?" Fine didn't say anything and looked to her feet. "Why are you in this hospital gown instead of with Rein? Don't you know how much she was looking forward to this? She wanted to have fun and celebrate your birthdays, so what are you doing here?" Shade's anger had never once faltered from his eyes. "Tell me now, what are you planning on doing Fine? Why can you see me?"

Fine had difficulty answering him. She couldn't look him in the face as she said, "I...I'm going to be the heart donor for Rein. I know that I'm going to die. Rein only thinks that she's going to die, that's why she can still see you."

"What are you-"

"Shade, if you're going to preach to me, then save your breath. I've already decided on this, that's why I lived every single day without any regrets." Fine's ruby eyes showed determinism, they showed strength, but they also showed fear.

"Aren't you scared? You're going to die, and you look like you don't care, did you even think about how Rein was going to react to this?" He wanted Rein to be happy, he didn't want to see her crying. She'll say that it's all of her fault, she'll blame it all on herself, and the pain will eventually become unbearable for her. "Do you even care about Rein? You-"

"Shade." He stopped talking. "I'm doing this because I care." After a minute of silence, she said, "Shade, after I go, Rein will blame everything on herself. At that time, please tell her that I didn't regret anything. Tell her that if she dies, then that must mean me living out everyday of my life was useless. If she dies, then my life was just a waste and I shouldn't have been born. Make sure that she lives, or else I'll never hand her over to you."

"I'll tell her, don't know what that last part means but okay..." No matter what he's still dense. But he'll figure it out soon. "Then what's going to happen to you? Aren't you scared?"

"I know what's going to happen to me, so I'm not scared at all."

As though a part of his memory came back to him, with confidence he said, "No, you are scared."

"Even though you don't remember me, you still know me." Tears were streaming down Fine's face. "I'm going to die, of course I would be scared. Anyone would, it's human instinct to live! My mom and dad, they were crying. They're scared too, because they know that there's a possibility that neither one of us makes it." Shade wiped away Fine's tears. "Protect Rein no matter what, Shade. As payment for me visiting your room all the time and watching Milky, protect her."

"I swear that I'll do everything in my power in order to protect her."

"I know that you will, because of how much you care for her. Then, I can rest assured. I'll be going now, Shade, " Fine said with a smile on her face. Time ran again and Fine headed to the room to met up with the doctor. "With this, everything is set. Even the Head of Shinigami agrees now, yes?"

On Fine's side, a white haired girl said, "Yes. Now we're in check. Only a few more steps and our deal will be completed. All of my conditions will be met by then. Don't even think about backing out at the last second. I still have the option of changing this fate."

"Of course not," Fine said, looking at the white doors in front of her. "Just like you, I'm not like most people. I don't just naively say things like that."

"Then, let's go in and hurry with the checkmate before you sister finds out," Moon said, as both of them walked in.

Their parents were still crying, and Rein still didn't get any answers. "Mother, Father, will you please tell me what's going on? Where did Fine go? Maybe if you tell me what's going on, I could do something to fix this."

Truth got a hold of himself. "Rein... Give me your word that you won't overreact." He started trembling again as he held his daughter's shoulders. Not bothering to wait for her answer, he said, "Fine is going to give you her heart."

Rein's eyes widen. "What did you just say? Repeat what you just said." Rein had a strange look on her face with her eyes wide and a wide smile that was trembling on her face. Elsa was about to touch her when she just went crazy. "No! No! Why did she even think about doing this? Maybe I can stop her!"

Rein got up and was about to run, but Elsa clasped her pale hand onto Rein's and said, "That's enough Rein. It's already too late."

"No, it's not! Fine, Fine's-!" She started coughing up blood and her heart was starting to falter. Slowly, painfully, she was losing her last fragments of life. Her parents called for the doctor. They needed to keep her alive, only for a little longer. But even through this pain, she called for her sister, and she called for Shade. Shade didn't answer her though, he didn't come, because he wanted her to live. He didn't want to see her dead. It's the same as before. He doesn't want her to die. Even though she wants to die instead, he wants to see her live because he really loves her.

The surgery was a success. Fine is no longer among the living and Rein now bears her heart. But Rein was in despair. She never wanted to be the reason someone sacrificed them self. She was alright if she died, she was going to die anyways, so why not die now?

"Rein, you aren't going to eat again?" There was no response. "Rein, you need to eat. It's all of your favorites again. Please, Rein. I'll make you anything that you want, so please just come out and eat. Or you could just eat in your room." After hearing nothing, Elsa said, "I'll go bring some food."

Her mother's footsteps were disappearing. Rein just sat, lifelessly on her bed that was once Fine's. Not even a week had passed and she has just remained like this since the hospital. Shade was also there, free from his duties at the hospital, but he couldn't do anything for her except be by her side. Finally Rein stood up. "Rein?" She wasn't listening to Shade. She walked out on the balcony. She was going to jump, but Shade grabbed onto her.

"Let me go Shade." His grip on her didn't loosen, instead it tightened. "LET ME GO! I want to go where Fine is!" Frustrated tears fell from her face. "I DON'T WANT TO LIVE, LEAVE ME ALONE SHADE! I want to switch places with Fine, no one will care if I die, everything will just be better if I die!" Then in a quieter voice she said, "Let me go die Shade."

"No. I want you to live. You need to live," he said pulling Rein into a tight embrace.

"Why would someone like me need to live? There's no point-"

"Fine told me, she had been planning this for a while. She was happy though. She lived out everyday of her life, hoping that you would be able to live without any regrets, if you die, then you're going to make many people sad! I need you to live! Not only for your sister, your parents or for me, live for yourself. Isn't this what you've wanted? And yet you're going to throw it away... You only live once, don't die if you don't have to, live Rein."

Rein had tears streaming down her face. "I'm sorry...I'm sorry, Shade," she said as she buried her face in his chest. Shade stroked her hair as she continued to cry and apologize.

"Aw~ how sweet." Rein and Shade looked up to see a white haired girl eating a stick of pocky. "Shade, congratulations. You have finally fulfilled your end of the deal. Collecting 100,000 souls and saving a life... you are free from being a Shinigami. Let's go," Moon said.

"So what?"

Moon's eyes became cold. She grabbed his shirt and pulled him away from Rein. "That means, you are no longer needed as a Shinigami. You said so yourself, 'when my punishment is over, let me go back as soon as I can, back to her side.' Even if you do work, I still will not let you stay. Now let's go, before I become upset."

Shade remained calm as he said, "Why are you saying that? You use anyone and anything that you have access to, and yet now you're going aganist your own principals. What's the real reason you won't let me stay here?"

"Please don't take him away!" The two Shinigami looked at Rein. "Please... I don't want anyone to leave me anymore. Let him stay with me," Rein pleaded. "I'll do anything that you want, so please just don't make him leave!" Rein's hands were shaking. Her heart was in pieces right now, if Shade goes, her heart could crumple until it's gone and she might lose herself again.

Moon let go of Shade's shirt and got on her knees to be on the same eye level as Rein. "I would make a deal with you, but she made a deal first and what she gave up is greater than anything that you can give."

"She? Who are you talking about?"

Moon didn't explain. "He'll appear again before you know it. You two will met again, because it is her wish. And don't think that you're alone, your precious sister is always watching you, even if you can't see her, she's there. I promise that you and Shade will be able to meet each other again."

"Thank you," she said bowing her head. Rein turned to Shade. "Promise you'll come back to me as soon as you can?"

"I promise." Then Shade took his pocket watch and handed it to Rein. "If anything happens, just use this to remember me by. I'll come back as soon as I can. Don't forget me," he said kissing Rein on the forehead. "And don't even think about dying before we met again."

Rein giggled a little. "I promise, so hurry up and come back, my angel." For most people, they would see scythes on the backs of Shinigami. But for Rein, she sees angel wings on their backs. "Angel-san," she said towards Moon. "Thank you."

"You're thanking the wrong person. Come on Shade. The sooner we go, then sooner you two can be reunited," Moon said with a white portal besides her. Shade went to Moon's side. He looked at Rein one last time before disappearing through the portal.
