"no, this isn't happening..." Alice cried. Frey, Mei, Billy, and Chris all held concern and tears on their face as their friend cried.

"It's all my fault...All my fault" Alice repeated to herself. In her arms lay the unmoving, dead form of her loved one, Kyo Wakamiya. Right next to him was Mayuras bruised and battered dead body. In this final battle much blood was shed and many tears would be in the future.

Frey put his hand on Alice's Shoulder. She looked at him. He kneeled down and put his hand on her cheek and wiped a small tear from under her eye. She looked down. "it's my fault..." She let the tears fall. More and more came when Frey collected Alice in his arms.

"Poor Alice" Mei Lin said to the two others. Chris nodded his head.

"In this battle we all new there would be hardship, but nothing as terrible as this. Now that Mayura and Kyo are dead Alice will feel like she doesn't belong here." Chris pointed out.

They had also lost a precious person, or creature, in their group, Nyozeka. She was killed by a maram word and sucked into oblivion yelling till her last breath that we should keep fighting.

Billy, Mei ling, and Chris watched as Alice cried more and Frey picked her up bridal style after gently laying Kyo back down next to mayura. "Rest in Peace my friend" He said as Alice's shoulders started to shake more violently.

"Ssssh Alice your tears will not bring him back to life." He was trying to sooth her but when he caught a glimpse of her face it was turning black.

"NO! ALICE DON'T GIVE IN, DON'T!" he started to yell. But Alice wouldn't stop shaking. She looked at him. Her eyes were pure black.

"NO!" He shouted again. Chris, Mei lin, and Billy rushed to his side as he bent down again trying to gain control of the violent shakes. Frey thought quickly and crashed his lips upon her. She snapped back to life. Her eyes were their original color and she was in shock.

"Thank Kami!" He said. "Alice, Kyo and Mayura died to save your life. I believe they wanted you to live on. Please Alice there are so many other people who love you." He was giving her a reason to stay alive. Alice looked at him.

"I'm sorry..." she started to tear up again "I cant help it."

"Alice I told you that if I found you unhappy loving Kyo then I would take you from him. And seeing as how unhappy you are now I am obliged to ask you...will you live for me?" He whispered in her ear.

"Frey..." Alice said before passing out.

"We should get her somewhere for sleep." Chris said as they walked briskly down the now back to normal halls of the Metropolitan Building.

"Lets get her back to her house then explain the situation to her parents." Frey said as they ran off.

They reached Alice's House and put her in her bed upstairs. Frey came down stairs and explained to Her parents of mayura and kyo's death. After many hours of silence Alice came down the stairs, eyes red and puffy. Frey saw her. He really was tired but he wanted to be awake to give her comfort or be there just incase she tried to give in again.

She sat next to him. He looked at her and she was looking at the floor.

After awhile she said something "Thank you...for what you did at the Metropolitan...you're right. Kyo and Mayura would want me to live on."

"Alice, I do love you. Kyo wants you to be happy. I bet right now he and Mayura are looking down from heaven smiling at you." He pulled her in for a hug. She started to cry again.

"I'm sorry Frey. I...I just am so scarred now. I watched him breathe his last and all I could do was blame myself for being in the way. He died for me. He really did love me. And it's just hard to think how I'm gonna live with out him." She broke down and he tightened the hug.

"Sssh just let it out." Frey ran his fingers through her hair to comfort her.

The other three watched from a doorway and they were all tearing up.

"Frey really does love her. She knows it but she just cant except the fact that Kyo is dead." Billy mumbled.

"When you think about it. He only flirted with the other women to get her attention." Mei lin said.

"This will take time to heal but I'm sure Frey and all of us will be there to help." Chris added.

"So why is it that we do not weep like her?" Mei lin asked puzzled.

"I think it's because we didn't know Mayura and Kyo as well and not to mention she lost the man that she loves and he loved her back. That only adds to the pain." Billy answered. Chris excused himself.

"Maybe just maybe Alice will be able to find love for Frey."

Alice had fallen asleep again. Her head was in Freys lap. He just ran his fingers through her hair and watched her sleep. Frey looked up. "Kyo you idiot. Why did you leave her like this? Well buddy I will make her happy for you..." he said as if he were talking to Kyo in person.
