A/N: Hey! So... I felt a little bad that I left so many questions unanswered in the final chapter, so I thought I'd attempt to give the story more closure with this little epilogue! It's not the greatest thing, but, eh, it's something. Hopefully it'll be a more pleasant ending to those are are still reading :)
Disclaimer: I don't know Pokemon. As always.
It was spring. Pink splattered onto the world like paint onto a canvas; cherry trees began flooding the streets. The water was clear and blue and beautiful, shining just right under the white morning sun. The wind blew gently, rustling the bear trees with their new green buds.
Drew sat by the water, May by his side. The two were against an old tree, looking out into the sea.
It had been a year since the accident.
Drew glanced sideways at May. Her neck held a white scar; a painful memory from that day. She had had her throat slit for a reason Drew still couldn't seem to grasp.
May was special. Her voice had certain power, they had told them. Damascus had wanted to harness that power to awaken legendary pokémon. The reason, no matter what, had been ridiculous to Drew. No reason would ever suffice hurting May like that.
Masami and Katashi had lost Damascus. They had found it more important to get May and Drew to medical attention than to run after him. Afterwards, though, Katashi had gone after him, eventually hunting him down and bringing him into the light. He was behind bars now, but Drew wished he was dead. He still felt uneasy knowing a man that would hurt his May like that was still breathing; breathing the same air they were.
He hadn't heard much from the two siblings since then; he had seen on the news that Katashi had finally faced court for the murders he had performed, and was able to plead innocent for character. Katashi had only killed in self defense. He had to do some community service, but it was better than jail. Drew imagined Masami was close by him, helping him through it all.
But he was with May now. She was there sitting right next to him, and she was okay, and that's all that mattered. Everyone was okay, and Drew could be at peace.
Drew closed his eyes and leaned against the trunk of the tree. May rested her head on his shoulder, and Drew felt her fingers slip through his, their hands intertwining.
He smiled, his eyes closed. He felt so content and satisfied and just so happy.
And then he knew everything had been worth it.
And then the two fell asleep, pink petals fluttering around them.
A/N: Once again I want to just thank all of you for everything :) Every review meant a lot to me!
