Chapter 3

1 ½ years later

Shun stood serenely staring out of his window at dawn. The scenery was pleasant to mostly anyone but shuns feelings burned in an everlasting agony.

"It wasn't your fault. It's ok."

Everybody had said that but he was far from believing it. He looked glanced towards Alice, the love of his life. a smiled covered his face, he had married her, runo had taken care of all the preparations along with Julie but herself had stayed alone after Dan. although he himself was sure that runo hadn't stopped her life stagnant at that point she wasn't even exactly moving on.

Mrs. and Mr. Kuso lost their only son and Runo her fiancé.

People, especially Mrs. Kuso and Runo were the ones to tell him that it wasn't his fault. But almost none of them realized that subsiding his guilt he to lost his only best friend.

"DAN!" shun yelled at the top of his voice as he tried to grab dans hand although he failed dan somehow grabbed some rocky stone coming out of the cliff.

"Shun! You take Drago and go and bring help!"

"No Dan I am not leaving you here" Both Drago and shun yelled simultaneously.

Dan managed a smile. "Tell my parents and Runo that I love them a lot best friend" were Dan's last words before his hand loosened the rocky cliff.

"NO!" shun yelled as Dan fell through a 1000 feet and that's when a portal opened randomly as Fabia had stated sucking Drago and Dan into it, making it the last time anybody ever saw him.

"Shun? What's wrong?" Alice asked as she lazily got up. She was very well aware of shuns nightmares about Dan but she very well kept off the topic.

"Nothing." shun said finally managing a real smile. "Get ready fast ok? We don't want o be late at meeting Runo on her birthday."

Runos café

"Runo, Happy birthday dear" Mrs. Misaki greeted her daughter as she enveloped her in a hug.

"Thanks a lot mom." runo said with a pleasant voice slowly unwrapping her present, and as she did so sudden tears fell from filled her eyes.

"Oh my god! I am so sorry Runo I shouldn't have gifted you this, I am so sorry." Mrs. Runo apologized as she slowly took a seat besides her.

"No mom it's wonderful" Runo said starring at a large photo frame of hers and Dan's engagement photo. She absent mindedly brushed her ring. Sweet memories coming back to her.

"Runo!" everyone yelled as they entered her café. "Happy birthday!"

"Hey guys" she replied as she hugged everyone one by one unwrapping her presents.

The morning was as perfect as any birthday could be-Cake cuttings, fun with friends and lots of laughter.

But as the day passed by Shun noticed runos eyes get lost staring aimlessly at distant point far away.

"Missing Dan?" shun asked runo as he found her ailing on the terrace edge all alone at night.

"Yes," runo replied her eyes again filling up with quick tears. "Yes"

"Yeah, me too"

Runo closed her eyes, trying to take in every breeze that touched her. "It makes me wonder shun, that where might he be." but as she looked at shun she noticed the same pain and guilt in his eyes that she had noticed 1 ½ years ago.

"Oh shun! Forget it now; we know it wasn't your fault"

"Maybe"

Runo chuckled at shuns reply but didn't press more on the subject. "Don't you wonder Shun? At all? That how he might be? Is Drago still with him or not?"

"I do but that's all we can do right? Sit and wonder."

"Well we did try and find him from our side. Contacted everybody every other dimension we know."

"He might be somewhere we don't know. He'll come back one day" Runo added moving her hand over her ring out of habit.

"You think so?"

"Yes" Runo answered however this time it was only a mere whisper.

SOMEWHERE

Dan slowly woke up to bright sunny Sunday sun as he slowly pushed his blanket aside but as soon as he stepped on the floor a usual voice called out of habit.

"Luke! Wake up" from a far away hall somewhere.

OK! I know it wasn't that good but please bear with it. Review please!
