Hikari pulled her hand up to cover her nose as she began to cry. "I still haven't got over that look she gave me. That look of acceptance. I find myself incapable of moving on.. Something always brings me back to it. She was my twin. My other half. And i'm sure you can relate to it in that way too." Hikari looked away ashamed. "She loved you. A lot. And to this day i can't understand what was running through her head when-..." She couldn't say it. "Although. I never knew what was running through her head anyway. And i could read her mind." Hikari coughed before sobbing a little more. "And then you left me. I felt like the most soulless person on this planet. Do you know how lonely i was?! Having no-one to confide in? Having no-one to cry to?!" Hikari covered one eye with her hand. She was no longer crying. Just anger overtook her.

*Yuji nodded.* "Yes i do. When we walked for those days before i rand ever senario in my head. Finding the best thing i could do was the void for a while. However as soon as i entered one last one did go through my head. What i left you. I found my world smaller. And i couldn't get back out myself. Nither the less, i guess the first thought that went though my head was you were mad at me aswell. Thats why id idn't relize it till afterwords, two second too late." He took his coat and used it to wipe her tears, "Ameile was indeed a unknown. But she got to live multiple life stiles, rich, poor, improtant, nothing to the world. All in all however she had two doughters, me, you and a familiy with all sorts of people. She lived many adventures, and i come to think. She lived a good life in the end perhaps. Maybe not. I do know this though, and i am only saying this becuse you need to know. I have four ways to bring Ameile back to us. But i wont for nither of them. Do you know why?"

Hikari exhaled slowly as she looked up to him with watery eyes. She didn't know what to think. If she could actually think at all at the moment. She had so many thoughts running through her head it was almost unbearable. "Why...?" She said timidly as she blinked away the tears.

*Yuji nodded* "Becuse to make one live more lives then there share is unbarable. We don't have the right to make her come back. And Hikari i know your feeling as bad as I." He looked away sitting back down looking to the sunset. "But perhaps there was more to her then both of us knew. She was a thinker... mix hearted, always supprizing. However in the end she always seemed to have a good heart about it all. No matter what the situation, no matter what she did or did not do..." He smiled, "she was Ameile and i think we should honer her just the same." He wasn't sure how Hikari would interbrate it, but it made him seem more at ease talking to Hikari. SOmeone who felt the same pain. he knew as he lived on things of amile would be there. memorys will hunt him. Both of them. He looked to Hikari, "And when these memorys of you sister come around, when you see the things she once did or things she owned. We shouldint think sadly you know. We should think proudly that we knew her better then anyone. And that she was with us to begin with. Do you think you can do that Hikari. If not its okay. We have to back eachother up," He leaned close to her and unbucked the collor around her neck. Seconds later he put it back on. Now there was a second little item hanging of it. It was the neckless peice, the fang ameile had. He held up his and smiled, "us. We can always find eachother when in the dark"

Hikari looked to the charm and blinked lazily. Then, as she fondled with it between her fingers she barely made out a smile. "Thank you, Yuji." She shut her eyes and breathed slowly. Yes, it was going to be a little harder from now on. Now that Yuji was always there to remind her. But Hikari didn't mind. She didn't want to forget about her sister. Maybe it was time for her to go. Maybe Amelie was finally sick of it. But suddenly, as Hikari remembered something, she opened her eyes and reached into her Kimono, pulling out a small letter. "Oh. This was on Amelie's body. It's addressed to you, Yuji. I didn't open it. I knew it wasn't for my eyes." Hikari held the letter but then held it out for Yuji. "Do you want to read it?"

*Yuji took the letter slowly and looked at it. He seemed puzzled. In a sad tone he spoke* "You know i wonder what it says. But at the same time i feel if i do..." He took a breath. "No i will have to." He slowly opened the letter, relived there was one, but at the same time he was feeling anger and sadness inside him sturing no matter how he tryed to keep it hidden. Anger for she obvously planned it. Sadness becuse she went through with it. Or was it becuse he blamed himself for wounding her that night. He looked to Hikari and started to read the letter out laud just enough both of them could here it. And only them. He wouldn't read it in his mind or silently, if Keria was lisening she would know aswell. He didn't want that, this was hikari and his burden to bare.*

The letter was written in obviously rushed writing, and yet not rushed words. These looked like they had been planned thoroughly. The letter read;
'What we leave behind in this life is the memory of who we were and what we did.
An imprint, no more. I have learned much. I have become wise. But have I made a difference? I cannot tell. Pas a pas, se va luenh.
I have watched the green of spring give way to the gold of summer, the copper of autumn give way to the white of winter as I have sat and waited for the fading of the light. Over and over again I have asked myself why? If I had known how it would feel to live with such loneliness, to stand, the sole witness to the endless cycle of birth and life and death, what would I have done? My love, I am burdened by my solitude stretched too thin to bear. I have survived this long life with emptiness in my heart, an emptiness that over the years has spread and spread until it became bigger than my heart itself.
I have striven to keep my promises to you. The one is fulfilled, the other left undone. Until now, left undone. For some time now, I have felt you close. Our time is nearly come again. Everything points to this. I feel the truth of this all around me.
I pray at last, as my long days draw to a close, I will have put right what I once did ill, that I will at last learn the truth.
The truth will set me free.'
And at the end there was a little mini queen of hearts card she drew, just to make it so that it was from her. Her mark, per-say. Hikari just stared off into the distance in thought. Yes, this is exactly what Amelie would have been thinking.

*Yuji wiped the tears in his eyes as he read the letter, breaking down as he went. Finally he wiped the tears away and stuffed the letter in to his coat obvously in thought.* "I did what i could love. I did what i could. I just wish it wasn't then." He found himself sniffing and wipeig his tears on last time before looking to Hikari. "Thankyou Hikari for waiting till this day to give me the letter. And thankyou for hanging on to it." He fourced a smile on his face, "now it's up to us."

Hikari turned back to him and frowned. "Pffft. be thankful that your letter was short and brief. the one she gave me is like a novel, i swear." she puffed out a cheek and folded her arms across her chest grumpily. then, as she blinked, she stared at him. "so what now Yuji? ...how do we deal with it?" she asked sullenly with grief traced in her eyes.

*Yuji nodded and stood up Holding out his hand* "We honer her words, we stand strong, and we take one step at a time." He smiled warmly, this one real and full at her. He closed his eyes int he smile aswell meanwhile h thought. "Besides you may not know it on your end yet, but we both still have alot in this world. Lets just take things slow for now.'

Hikari sighed as she took his hand and stood up. she brushed off her kimono and looked to him. "honer her words... pft. the one time in her life she decides to be serious and wise.." hikari paused, looking into the distance as she thought. "although. it's as she said one time. 'if i was different no-one would take me seriously~' boy, was she wrong." it seemed Hikari was lightening up a little. but something told her she would never be herself again, truly.

*Yuji nodded* "Well now it's up to us. You have me, you are here to back me up. And a master has to be there for there subjects." He laughed, "Plus i have to be here for my little girls you know. Corse there not all that little... anymore... i missed alot of time i could have had with them. There more fun and less willing to argue at a lower age. Kerias going to be the tough one, i mean she's the first and she's almost 20. She an't going to ever need her dad and ant at this rate. Gotta step it up alittle." He smiled as the subject changed alittle. 'Keira, meet me int he backyard. I'll get Eve.' He thought outloud noddeing to Hikari, "your wellcome come join in if youd like." He smiled.

Hikari shook her head dispiritedly. "If i didn't, i would miss out on all the fun. Wouldn't i? Nono. Wouldn't want that to happen." Hikari had been with Kiera through all the time since Yuji had been gone. And Kiera had been a good shoulder to lean on, for the time being. Because despite Kiera's tough appearance she had a soft spot for family. But blood-line restricted. But she could sense Kiera was getting bored anyway, the same old thing every time. And Hikari couldn't help that. Things just were going to be a little more boring. Or so she thought. Hikari wondered what Ansel was doing, she hadn't seen him since the morning. And even if he didn't care, he was also another useful lea-way. And he gave her some things to do, at least. Hikari then looked away and skipped in the other direction. "See you there~" She chimed.
