A/N: play song when he starts reads the letter.

Harada's POV
I dint know how long I was crying on the floor, but I could tell it was already late at night. "Sano, open the door. You have to eat something." I didn't answer. I wanted to be alone. "Sano, it's been a whole day since you've been locked up in there."

I still didn't answer. I could hear his steps going down stairs. I didn't feel hungry nor tired. I only wanted to be left alone. Alone to cry. Alone with the memories. Memories that my stupid actions destroyed.

I look down at my hands and see the letter she left me. I still haven't opened it. With trembling hands I open it.

Sanosuke,
I know that right now your suffering. And that maybe you are blaming your self for what happen. But don't blame your self. This was no one's fault. It's something that doesn't have a remedy to it.

I know you loved me. And never stoped loving me. I never stopped loving you. Even with everything going on, my love for you never changed. I'm sorry you had to find out about everything this way. If things would of been different.

But I didn't want to see you suffering because of me. I didn't want you to petty me. To think that if I told you, it was just to keep you by my side. I'm not going to lie, I'm scared. Scared of dying and never seeing you again. But I've had to learn to deal with this. Things happen for a reason.

A reason that only time will let you know. I want you to be happy. Happy with your baby. Give that little person all the love you can. The love I know you would of give our baby. Maybe this is the reason all of this happen.

Your given a second chance to have a family. The family you always wanted. And even if it's not with me that your having a family, take the opportunity. Give your self a chance to be happy. I know you will be a great father.

I forgive you for everything because I know that in the end you loved me. I'm thankful for the time I was able to be with you. You made me the happiest woman in the world. Words can't describe how much I love you.

Having you close helped me go through this. That's why I wanted to see you for the time I have left. Even if slower and slower I had to let you go in the end. It hurt more thinking about not seeing you than what I was feeling.

I love you. And always will. No matter where I am, I will always love you. That maybe right now you think your alone but your not. I will be by your side always. I don't regret anything. You were and are the love of my life. The only person that has my heart.

I know that someday we will see each other again. And when we do, we will never be apart. Remember, I love you with all my heart.

Sayuri

I dropped the letter and cried. "Sayuri!...You shouldn't of left me here! Take me with you!" Knocks on the door were heard. "Sano! Sano open the door!" I didn't move I just continued to sit on the floor crying.

The door was kicked opened and Shinpachi was by my side. "Even if she forgave me, I still blame my self. I can't live with out her Shin! I can't!" He sat down beside me. "You have to. Am sure she wouldn't want to see you like this. I know its not easy."

And it wasn't. Just imagining my life with out was very hard. I know I brought this upon my self. And now am here with regret. "You have a child on its way. You have to live for that child. It needs a father. Do it for Sayuri and that baby."

   "And second chance..." was the only thing that came out of my lips. Then the last sentence of the letter came back to my head. " I know that someday we will see each other again. And when we do, we will never be apart."

   I will see you again Sayuri. No matter how long it takes wait for me. And like you said we will never be apart.
**************************
*5 years later*

  "Saki don't run, you will hurt your self." Like every year we walk this path. It's been five years since she left. Five long years, but I've endure them. "Daddy I found it! Come on hurry!" When I got closer to the gravestone I saw someone I knew very well.

   "What's your name little one?" "My name is Harada Saki. And your's?" "Saki what are you doing?" The man stood up and turned around and saw me. "Souji, it's been some time since I last saw you." He nodded and looked back at Saki.

  "Is she yours and Chi-" "Yes she's my daughter." I interrupted him. He nodded and smiled at her. "Daddy do you know him?" I nodded and handed her the flowers that were for Sayuri. "Leave them there and go find some water. Don't go to far." She nodded and skipped off.

  "I'm assuming Chizuru is not in the picture." Souji said looking after Saki. "No, she gave her up to me. She said she didn't want to be in her life." I looked over to Sayuri's tombstone and walked towards it. "Did you get the letter I send to you?" I looked over a him and he nodded.

   "So how's has it been?" I smiled and started to fix the flowers a small vase. "It's been hard at times, but I have a reason to live. A second chance life gave me. And for you?" *sigh* "It's been hard also. But because she wanted me to be happy, I've endure the pain."

   Nodding in understanding I stood up and looked around for Saki. She was heading our was with a small bucket of water. "Her you go daddy. So does he know Sayuri also? Because he brought her flowers too." Souji smiled and kneeled beside Saki. "I do know Sayuri. She's my best friend."

   Saki opened her amber eyes wider. "Really?! Was she really pretty like the pictures daddy has of her?" Souji nodded and his smiled was wider. "She was more beautiful in person." "Do you think she likes me? Will I ever see her in person? I want to tell her something."

   I stopped what I was doing and looked at Saki and Souji. "I'm sure she likes you a lot. But we can't see her. But if you close your eyes and talk to her from your heart she will hear you." I said hugging her. Souji nodded. "Here let me show you how to do it." Souji grabbed both her hands and showed her.

  "Now talk to her." Saki nodded with her eyes closed. "Uhmm...hi? Sayuri...am Saki. My daddy talks a lot about you. Of how nice you are and how you are looking after us." She peeped from one little and looked at me. "Sometimes he still cries looking at your picture. He says that I wishes you were here with us."

   I felt my chest tighten. "She's very smart." I heard Souji say under his breath. "Please watch over us Sayuri. And if you can come and see daddy. That would really make him happy." My vision blurred and a tear fell. "Why are you crying daddy?" Saki moved closer to me and wiped the tear.

   Souji looked up to me and but then looked away. He also was crying. "We just really miss her. But I'm sure she heard every word you said." I hugged her and gave her a kiss on the head. I got up and gather everything. "How long are you going to be here for?"

   Souji shrugged and looked up at the sky. "I don't know. I was thinking of moving back home. But with my kid also going to school and all, I don't want to move him in the middle of the year." I looked at him surprised at what he said and he laughed at my reaction.

   "Yes I have a kid. He's about your daughters age." I nodded and smiled. "Its just like Sayuri said. Things happen for a reason." Souji smiled and looked at her gravestone. "Its guess she was right." He said.

   After saying good bye to Souji, Saki and I headed towards home. "Daddy, do you think Sayuri would of love me like her daughter?" That one question made me stop on my tracks. I looked at Saki and she looked down to her little hands.

   I pulled her to a hug. "Yes she would of loved to have you as her daughter. And am sure she would love you with all her heart and spoil you more than your uncle Shin." She smiled and hugged me tighter.
**********************
   That night after putting Saki in bed, I made my way toward my room. The same room I shared with Sayuri.  I never moved out of the house. This was the only place I felt as if she were still here with me.

   I look at her picture in the night stand and smile at it. "You don't know how much I've missed you." *sigh* I wipe the tear off my face and take a deep breath. "I know your waiting for me. I have faith that you really are. And that I'll see you again."

   Seeing my daughter grow up healthy and happy was my goal. But to see her again is my only request I ask to the heavens. That some day I will be with her, and finally be able to tell her how much I love her.

A/N: Ok! So the next chapter is going to be the last one. I don't know if I'll update before the week ends or until next week. Sooo, what do you think will happen next?
