Chapter 15
"The End"



				~


Entry 66: "Time is running out"
Amiboshi

Those same cold, horrifying visions I had before Suboshi's death have 
come back...this time I'm in his place.
I don't know how much longer I'll be here. I've sworn myself to avenge my 
brother and be here for Yui-san. But the end is nearing...
Otouto, I'm scared...all that talk about saying I wished for death...I-I 
was wrong, I was foolish. I've never been more afraid in my life.
*shivers, tears dripping from his eyes*



Entry 67: "Farewell"
Amiboshi

Nakago has angered the Suzaku Seishi once more. We meet again for an ugly 
battle...
I will not fight. But I know...tonight will be my last night to live.
I feel it.
Yui-sama...I pray you get home safely and reconcile with Miaka-san. Don't 
cry...
Miaka-san...I thank you for all your kindness.
Suzaku Seishi...I'm truly sorry for all the trouble I caused you that 
day.
Otouto...
I'm going to be joining you soon.
I tried...I tried to avenge you...and our parents...
I am sorry.
*brushes away tears as he slowly gets up to leave*
Goodbye.



Last entry: "Final goodbyes"
Yui

Hi...this is Yui, the much talked-about Seiryuu no Miko.
I...I regret to inform you...that Amiboshi has died.
He died on the battlefield not long ago. Nakago...tried to stab Miaka, 
and...Amiboshi...got in the way.
His last words were:

"Yui-san...Miaka-san...please get home safely...I'm sorry...I failed you 
both. Beloved otouto...I tried...at least...we'll be together now..."

*sniffles, tears running down her cheeks* Rest well, Amiboshi-kun...may 
your next life be better than this...you never belonged in a war.
Never.

[Author's notes: It doesn't end here. You didn't think I'd close this 
story on such a sad note, did you? ^_^ The REAL finale is still in the 
works. I'll get to work on that soon, but it might not be posted for 
awhile due to school being a top priority recently.]
