Antig's Rambling Pointless Author's Notes:

Sorry for my absence, I have just survived the Week from HELL ending with 
Ani-Magic in Lancaster (nice way to end a HELL week ^^).  Anyone there?  
There was a great FY cosplay group.  I was happy.

A---anyway, here is the last and final part of From the Ashes.  I submit it 
for your approval, I hope you enjoy it.   And now that you've read the entire 
thing, write me and tell me what you think of the story as a whole, okay? ^^ 
Or leave a reveiw at ff.net.  Or IM me!  Or anything. :) I'm happy for any 
kind of contact.

Thanks to Lelu!!

From the Ashes
A Yui fanfic
5/5 Me, again 

By Antigone


Peace.  

Happiness. 

Normalcy.

Not for us.

Because no matter how much I want my biggest to worry to be that someone will 
find out that I burned the cookies I had made for Tetsuya, it will never work 
out that way.

There is something new, something dangerous, happening in both the Universe 
of the Four Gods and in our world.   And of course, Miaka and Taka have to be 
right in the middle of it.  

At least this time I'm on their side.  With all the power I have as Seiryuu 
no Miko I will help them. Actually, never mind Seiryuu, I am Hongo Yui, no 
one, god or human, will touch my best friend, the people she loves, or my 
world.

I find myself exhilarated in the whirlwind of what is going on. I'm worried 
sick about Miaka, but I also have faith in her.  There is nothing she won't 
be able to defeat.  And I'm helping her in every way I can.  Researching, 
providing memories, even giving her a weapon to defend herself against the 
zombie-like students at our highschool; I'm doing my part.

And Taka… well, my first impression wasn't wrong.  I like him, although he 
has his moments of being, well, male and stupid.  And I realized as that soon 
as Taka began to look increasingly uncomfortable with every reference Miaka 
made of which he had no recollection of, that I wanted him to remember his 
past life.

I want him to remember his past for his own peace of mind.  I want him to 
remember for Miaka, and all that they shared.  

And I want him to remember for me.

Because only after he remembers, can he truly forgive me.

But, even that doesn't weigh so heavily on me anymore.  

I've forgiven myself, but I haven't forgotten.  The blue earring still hangs 
in my ear, but Miaka's voice rings in it.  The thought of Suboshi and 
Tamahome brings tears to my eyes, but Tetsuya is there to dry them.  Even the 
scars on my wrist are fading away with each passing day.  But they will never 
go completely away. And I'm alright with that. 

I don't mind my memories.  And I will fight for the future so I can make 
more.  

With Miaka. 


And whoever else I may decide to love forever.  


Owari!

A.N.
Phew.  

That was fun.
