Sayuri's POV
  After Sanosuke and I greed on seeing each other today, I got ready to meet up with him. I was about to walk out the door when Souji arrived. "Are we going somewhere?" I smiled and nodded. "Yeah I'm going to met up with Sanosuke at a coffee shop." He scrunched his nose. "Mmm, even though i cant stand him right now I'll take you."

    He said walking towards the car. "You really don't have to do that. I feel perfectly fine right now." I said as i follow behind him. "Nope, even if you felt great and jolly, i would still drive you up to see his ugliness." I couldn't stop the laugh that escaped my lips. I shooked my head at his comment. "Souji please don't argue with him."

   "I wont. Promise." I nodded and got on the car. When we arrived, Sanosuke was sitting by a window. His face expression changed. But he still gave me a smile. Souji and I walked inside together and made towards where he sat. "Dont make that face Harada, I won't be staying." "Good you would just be a third wheel." I just stood looking at them.

   Souji just gave him a smirk but if looks could kill, am sure both of them would be dead already. "Ill pick you up, just call me." Souji said not taking his eyes off him. "You don't have to do that.  Ill take her home." "Like I'll ever let that happen." Both of them started to glared at each other.

   "Ill walk home." Both of them turn to look at me. Before Souji and Sanosuke would protest i spoke up. "Its only 2 blocks away from home. And i feel compleatly fine. Please." Souji just sighted and nodded. "Fine, but call me on your way home. And if you-" "I will don't worry." I interrupted him before he said something else. He hugged me and left.

  Sanosuke just stayed in silence and looked at me. "So...how have you been?" I had to break this awkward silence. He sighted. "Ive been good. How about you?"  I gave him a smile. "Good." He nodded and looked down. "Oh here, i order you some coffee, it might be a bit cold by now. If you want I'll order something else." I shooked my head and thanked him.

   "Sayuri about last time we saw each other,-" I smiled. "Yeah, sorry about that. Oh and before i forget, congratulations on the baby. Am very happy for you and Chizuru." He looked down and played with his hands. I put my hand over his. "Its ok, I dont hate you for it. I know you always wanted a family." I gave his hands a light squeeze.

  "But I wanted a family with you." He said looking at me. "Well maybe its for the best. Besides, you love her and am sure she will make a great mom and wife." He again looked down. "Are you happy?" I slightly move my head to the side. "Happy for you, yes." "No that not what I meant. Are you happy with your life now?"

   I took sip of my coffee and looked at him. "Yes am happy. Life is to short to waist on hate and sadness. I have to think positive, and try to move on for the time I have left in this world." For some reason he look at me again, he tried to avoid looking me in the eye.

   "Are you in love?" "Yes, very much in love." He nodded. "Am sure he is a very lucky person, and very special to you." My smiled widen. "To me he is. And I would do anything to see him happy." Finally looking up to see me he smiled. "I hope he doesn't let go of you." "He hasn't, but am the one that has to let him go. Its for the best, I don't want him to suffer along the way."

   He shooked his head. "Being with you he won't suffer, away from you will slowly break him." *sigh* "Well am sure he will understand when he knows my reasons." I stood up and he did too. He closed the distance between us with a hug. But this time the hug was different. It was as he didn't want to let go. And to be honest, i didn't want to let go either.

  If only we could stay like this much longer. If only time would just stop and we wouldn't have to go. If only I didn't have to let go of him for ever. But the sad thing is that I will always have that what if because for us our time together has come to an end.

Harada's POV
  After talking to Sayuri she left and I was left with my words in my throat. I was able to tell her that it was all a mistake. A mistake that has cost me so very much. I know all the things I said to her were very hurtful.

  Now she's happy with Souji. All though I've noticed about my mistake to late, and that maybe what I felt for Chizuru wasn't love but just physical attraction. And even if Sayuri is in love with Souji, I won't give up. I will take responsibility with the baby and try and to win Sayuri back.

   I stood up ready to leave when i noticed a small bottle on the floor. I picked it up and saw it was a medication and it has Sayuri's name. "Why is she taking medications?" I took the bottle and put it up on my pocket.

  Then what Chizuru had said earlier came back to my mind. "Fine then let's just say she's dying. Are you really just going to waste your time with her?" I shooked my head. "That's not it. Chizuru just wants to play with my mind. Sayuri has always been so healthy."

  I walked out the coffee shop towards my car. And my phone whent off. I looked at the screen and it was a message from Shinpachi.
   Hey, want to go and have some drinks?-Shinpachi
I didnt know of it was a good idea about drinking tonight but i did needed someone to talk to.
   Sure see you in half an hour. The usual place?-Sanosuke
  Alright, and yeah the usual. See you then-Shinpachi

  Thirty minutes later I was at the usual bar me and Shin always meet at. When I arrived, he was already there flirting with the bar tender. But like always with no luck. "Ahhhh like always bothering Kimiko I see." I said making him turn around. "Yeah, and like always I say no to his dumb words" Kimiko said with a straight face.

"One day woman, you will fall for my charms." Shin said and Kimiko just rolled her eyes placing the usual drink in front of me. "Your almost have her fall for you, I think this time what ever you said made her smile." I said taking a sip of sake.

  "Who can resist this man." He said patting his chest. "So how have you been?" Shin said changing the subject. *sigh* "If you only knew." I said drinking all the sake left on the sakazuki not caring about the burning on my throat.

  "That bad huh? Have you see Sayuri?" I nodded and pour more sake. "Just came from seeing her. I think i lost her. And I don't blame her for moving on. I've such a damn idiot to her." He he finished his drink and pour more sake. And here i thought drinking was not a good idea.

  "What about Chizuru?" "She's pregnant. But I don't love her, and Sayuri found out before I told her." Shinpachi's face was of shock. "Yeah, I've screwed up compleatly." I said. "Well at least she hasn't put the baby as a weapon against you." I almost dropped the sakazuki.

  "Please don't jinx me more. I mean even if i don't love her, i will be responsible for that baby. I love that baby even if i don't feel nothing for the mother." He nodded. "And why do you think you dont have a chance with Sayuri anymore? Did she tell you?" "No I saw Souji hugging her and taking her home and they looked so happy. He also took her to met me."

  "Really, just cause of that you think she loves him?" He looked at me and laughed. "Its not funny, he said he had confessed to her his feelings." "So what? They have been best friends for so long and she still chose you, she still loves you. But since she knows Chizuru is pregnant, you know she is going to give up on you."

  I then remembered what Chizuru had said about Sayuri being sick. "And Chizuru said something that just won't leave my mind." Shinpachi pour more Sake and looked at me. "She said something about Sayuri being sick and if she died, if i would still waist my time on her."

  He shooked his head. "You know how Chizuru gets, besides I know you wouldn't leave Sayuri alone if you knew that was true." I nodded. "Of course I wouldn't leave her alone. If now I regret asking her for the divorce and having the documents signed already also."

  "Yeah you're a dumb ass, but am sure you can still fix this. Just have to work harder to win her over." He always knew what to say, well to a friend cause what he said to females would always cost him a slap or eye rolled like what Kimiko was giving him now. "You should do the same thing I do, not give up on Kimiko and still try to win her heart." "In your dreams." Kimiko said.

  What Shinpachi said had me thinking and he was right, this is far from over. 2 more weeks left till this request is done and am hoping by the end of this she can forgive me and give me a second chance.

Sayuri's POV
After leaving the coffee shop i decided to take a walk in the park. I wanted to be alone for a while. The moon shined bright and the sky was filled with stars. "Am going to miss this so much." Looking at the night sky, and feeling peace of mind even just for a moment. 

  Walking to a park near by, I could see the cherry blossoms were still at full bloom. The petals falling with the wind making the scene more breath taking. For once since I found out about my condition I didn't felt so sad. I sat down on a bench and looked at the cherry blossoms.

At least for this moment I didn't want to think about death and sadness. I wanted to remember the good moments I spend with everyone that I hold dear. My phone interrupted my thoughts. It was the alarm letting me know it was time I took my meds.

I looked inside my purse and didn't find the bottle. "Maybe its at home." *sigh* "Well my walk has to be cut short." I was bearly standing up when my phone went off again. This time it was a call from Souji.

  "Yes?" "Are you still with him?" I laughed . "No, am actually am at a park. I wanted to take a walk." He sighted. "Oh ok. Have you taken your medication?" "No I think I left it at home. Thats why am headed back." I could hear him moving around.

  "Its not here where all the other medications are. Are you sure you left it here?" I thought for a second. "Actually, I took it with me when we left to the coffee shop. Maybe I dropped the bottle." I could still listen him move around.

  "What are you doing?" "Heading your way. We will go to the pharmacy and get more of that medication." Still looking inside my purse and walking, I bumped into someone. "Oh! Am so sorry." I looked up and saw it was Heisuke. "Its all right- oh hey how have you been Sayuri?"

  "Heisuke! Its so nice seeing you, I've been good." "Sayuri!? Are you ok?!" I heard Souji on my phone freaking out. "Oh yeah I bumped into Heisuke." I told Souji. Heisuke smiled. "Its Souji, hes actually on his way here." He nodded. After reassuring Souji i was fine and that i would wait for him I hung up the call.

  "So what have you been up to Heisuke? I haven't seen you in a while." He blushed and scratch the back of his head. "Yeah, just the usual. Studying and work. How about you. I uhh..." I gave him a smile.  "Its ok, I know you already know about the divorce. And am doing fine." He nodded.

"He's an idiot." Heisuke said looking at me. "And we can both agree on that." We both turned around and saw Souji standing behind us. Heisuke smiled and rolled his eyes. "I see Souji is here for you. And I have to go. It was so nice seeing you again. I hope i see you soon Sayuri."

  I grabbed his arm and pulled him in to a hug. "Take care of your self. Am so proud of you. And always smile. Even if things are not how you want them to be, just smile and think that things happen for a reason." I wanted to cry. I felt the need to give him a hug, I know that I have very little time left, but something pushed me to hug him.

  When i let him go, he had tears in his eyes. "Why are-" "I have to go." I smiled once again and pulled Souji and left. I didn't turn around and see Heisuke. I was afraid that if I did the last memory he would have of me would be of me crying.
