Kaori stood by Rin's hospital bed looking at him sleeping. Since Hanna left mid healing process it healed incorrectly so it will take a long time for it heal and if it doesn't It may have to be amputated. He still didn't know of Kazumi's death. The funeral was yesterday. Kazumi's own father didn't even turn up. West is trying to find evidence of the abuse Kazumi suffered so the man can be put away for good.
"Kaori... The taxi's ready for you" Miki told her standing at the doorway to Rin's room.
"Thanks Miki, I will meet you downstairs" Kaori said. Miki nodded and went downstairs.
Kaori stared at Rin for a while. Then she spoke "I remember seeing you before the fire, I saw you getting in a fight with these boys, We were both about six at the time so the guys were easily going to beat the hell out of you, So I got this lead pipe and ran up to them screaming 'Get off him' They ran off like cowards... I helped you up and told you about how next time I want to be the damsel in distress not you" She told him smiling.
"You remebered..." Rin groaned as he opened his eyes slightly.
"Of course I did" Kaori said tears in her eyes. She bent down and kissed his forehead. "My hero..." She told him.
She then stood straight and smiled even though she was crying. "Remember me, Okay?" She asked as she left the room.
"Always..." Rin croaked.

Kaori left the hospital wiping tears from her eyes and walked over to Miki. "Let's go" Kaori said with a smile.
"Kaori... I'm not coming with you..." Miki told her.
"What?" She said. "You have to, Were going to start a band back up remember?"
"Kaori, You remember don't you? That night? You remember that I didn't make it?" Miki said.
Kaori froze, She had knew since Miki came back. Miki didn't make it to the hospital she died in the ambulance ride. She knew it had happened but she didn't want to believe it. The tears returned. "No Miki, It's not true, Your standing here aren't you!?"
"I'm the reflection you had of the Miki you knew, I was only here to help you cope Kaori..." Miki told her.
"It can't be true it can't!" Kaori yelled in disbelief falling to the ground her hands at either side of her head as she wept.
Miki couldn't do anymore. She looked at her own hand. It was beginning to disappear. "I have one last goodbye to make Kaori... I hope you live a full and gracious life... Without me" Miki said walking off a tear rolling down her face.

Garret sat below a tree in the cemetery looking at the recent graves of people he knew. He threw his pocket knife into the tree angrily. He then looked up and saw Miki. She was beginning to disappear.
"You told her the truth.." Garret said standing up.
"I had to Garret, I'm on borrowed time, I'm just glad I got these days with her and you" She told him with a broken smile.
"I don't want you to go Miki... I will get you back and I will kill the guy who forced me to hurt all my friends in the first place the man who manipulated me" Garret said holding back tears. Miki put her hand on his cheek and he looked up.
"Garret, I love you.... So know that you will live without me" She told him. She kissed his lips and he kissed her back. Then Miki faded away out of existence. Garret fell to the ground. "I love you too" He said staring at the ground.
"Your going to get him huh?" West asked as he approached.
Garret wiped his tears "Yeah, The dude who manipulated me The guy who made me to horrible things...." He told West.
"He's left town but I found some clues to where he might of gone..." West said looking at the cliffs in the distance.
"You want help like?" Garret said standing up.
"Well Dio's leaving town with Hanna... So I guess so" West said.
"I guess I will just have to take that offer" Garret said and the two shook hands.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Dio put his suitcase in Hanna's sisters car. "Are you sure you want to leave Dio?" Hanna asked.
"After Kazumi...I don't want to be here anymore" Dio told her shutting the boot door and looking at the cemetery.
"But Aki's grave is here" Hanna told him. He looked at her.
"We all have to move on some day, I will always miss her but, Life goes on" Dio told Hanna and Hanna hugged him tightly.
"Hurry up Lovebirds!" Serah shouted from the car.
Dio and Hanna left and entered the car and it began to drive off.

Kazumi awoke in a strange place it didn't look like heaven nor did it look like hell. She then saw Miki. "Miki! Miki!" She yelled. Miki groaned awake and she looked around. The walls were black and do was the floor, it looked endless.
"Where are we?" Miki asked.
"Finally... I perfected it" A familiar voice said. They looked up. "You? What do you want!?" Kazumi hissed at the man who had terrorized their lives so much.
"Revenge my doll" He told them taking his hood down.
"You.... It can't be..." Kazumi said.
"But... You, You weren't even there at day..." Miki said.
"Fate works in mysterious ways...." He said smirking. "You now work for me..."
