"A TRAIN RIDE TO REMEMBER"

CHAPTER 22

- !THE FINALE! -

Finally, it was time to lower the coffins. Akito's was owered first. People throwing flowers or dirt as the priest said "ashes to ashes... dust to dust..." all the Sohma's sobbed as the white coffin was lowered slowly into the ground. Next was Yuki, his white coffin too, lowered down slowly, this was Tohru's and the other's turn to cry, as they threw flowers and dirt as the priest said "ashes to ashes... dust to dust...". Surprisingly, Yuki got more flowers than Akito. Tohru cried harder than ever as people shovelled dirt onto Yuki's coffin.'The first Sohma to ever be nice to me is gone! Actually gone!' she thought. This was a most unhappy day for the Sohma's and Tohru...

They walked back slowly to Shigure's house, some still crying like Momiji. They arrived at the house to the wonderful bouffet Tohru had made, but no one ate it, no one felt hungry. Even Tohru didn't eat, even thought she was hungry the pain of Yuki gone forever just kept intruding. She couldn't fell anything but the pain...

That night, no one could sleep, Tohru went downstairs for some hot chocolate, amazingly eveyone was down there, eating her bouffet

"I thought if you were eating you'd tell me" she said, a weak smile on her face

"We were going to wake you up" said Momiji "but when we looked in you were asleep"

"Yeah, great bouffet, though" said Kyo "Just that bloody leek soup!"

Tohru smiled "I knew you wouldn't like it!"

Then she remembered, she shouldn't be sad, she should be happy! Yuki could well be her guardian angel!

That lifted the huge weight inside of her and she smiled to herself. And went to join the others at her bouffet...
