The Gravestone

The End

         Once we're away from the graveyard Ai puts Aina down on the sidewalk. "What's going on?!" Ai says. "Nothing let's go to the Cafa'." I say wiping sweat from my face, we walk into the Café' and Yuzu runs up and hugs me. "Hashioki~ ah~ it's so nice to see you~" "Sorry Hashioki, Yuzu's drunk." Mei says walking up to us. "It's no problem at all Mei if your tried we can look after Yuzu." "No, I could never put this burden on another's shoulder, it's my burden and I'd like to look after it." "Aw~ Mei~ you're so sweet~" "Uh, Mis? Can we get a table?" Ai says looking at Mei. "Oh yeah follow me the place has been quiet seen Hashioki and all the others have time off, follow me." She leads me, Ai, and Aina to a table. "So how old is she?" Mei says pointing to Aina, she clings to my arm as I answer, "She's five." "Okay, and cense you work here everything is on the house." A few hours later and Yuzu is sober a little and is starting to think clearer, Mei and Yuzu sit and talk to us as we finish eating, Aina feels a little bit conferrable around Mei and Yuzu and starts to open and starts telling her story. "And my mom died when I was two, my dad didn't like me, so he put me up for adopt Shon, the other kids didn't like me, and neither did the manger... And that's were I meet Mommy and Mom!" "Oh~ Hashioki~ Your so nice and so sweet." "Don't worry she's the sweetest, she can't even kill a fly even if she wanted to." "A-Ai..." I say blushing, Aina starts to laugh. "Mom is funny." Aina says throw laughs.

       After eating Ai, me, Aina, Mei, and Yuzu go for a walk, we walk for hours down to the park, to the river and in and out of stores. As we walk Aina becomes more talkative around Mei and Yuzu. After a while I notes that Yuzu become sober more and more and after a while, we all become closer to everyone, as we walk someone in front of me stops and I look up and see a little girl standing there looking up at me. "Ma'am?" "Uh, ah yes?" "Who is that?" She says pointing to Aina be hide me. "That-That's my daughter Aina." "oh really?" she say her face shifting from peaceful to mystifies, as I watch her, her hall body is now covered in blood. Aina runs and tackles the girl without noting the fact that Mei, Yuzu, and Ai are still around us. She grabs my hand and we run for another hour until we get home, once we're in the house I turn to Aina and say. "Who was that?" "That was a girl I killed in the past and now every person I consider close to me she finds I way to kill them and make my life a living hell." "I'm so sorry." We talk for a little longer on the couch and after a while we both dose off to sleep. My dream starts off fun and sweet then it goes to the worried nightmare I could have ever thought. I'm chained to a wall and I' m being stretched out and I'm bleeding, why am I bleeding? I start to hear something from in front of me, but I can't see anything. When I wake up, I'm in the hospital. I look around and see a calendar and it's been a hall year, I'm in a full body cast.

         I full back asleep and I have the same dream but at the end I finally see who's doing this and it's the little girl from the walk she walks up to my bed, I can feel her touch my foot she says something but it was in a whisper she starts to twist my big toe and then she rips my toe off completely. I wake up screaming there are doctors running in and out of my room. Painkillers are being shoved into my mouth and I full into sleep again, once I wake up Aina and Ai are sleeping on both sides of my bed. I note that Aina has papers underneath her and Ai on the other hand she's sleeping on my hand. I slowly lift my hand that is on Aina's side of me, I lay it softly on her head rubbing it when I hear talking from the hallway that ketches my attention. "She's not going to make it; she has not woken up since she arrived here like 3 years ago." "But I think she will wake up." "She's been on life support for over 3 years now we need to let her rest in peace." As I hear that, I look around my room and see a bunch of machines attached to my body. The girl appears next to one of the machines and then she pulls the plug on the machines that is keeping me alive. After a while I can't breathe and pass out.

         When I start to wake up, I'm see throw and I'm lying on the ground. Aina and Ai are crying along with Mei and Yuzu. I slowly get up and walk up to Aina, she stops crying and looks at me. "Mom?" I nod and hold up my arms, Aina runs into my hands. She's crying in my arms but she's still with me and holding onto my back. After a while Ai and Aina starts to become happier and Aina comes to my grave where they buried me next to my dad. I spend a lot of time with Aina and Ai even through it's been 8 years seen I've past and I like it I can't age but at least I can watch Aina and Ai grow into lovely people, Aina Has a boyfriend named Himari and he is the sweetest thing, he comes along with Aina and Ai to visit and clean my gravestone. Ai has become as happiest as alone person can become, Himari and his family has gained in more in contact with Ai and Aina, Himari's parents love Aina. Ai has become attached to my grave and I get to see her in her dreams. Now I've got to go death needs me and last time I was late he made it torcher on my end but I love my job and at least I get to see Aina and Ai in their dreams and Aina can see me more because well she's just like me, see you later.
