The blade went right through him, causing no injury. Arakune looked over at Sarah and said wearily, "Please, don't exhaust yourself. He cannot be hurt." Turning to Death, the young man asked, "Is there any way I can be given more time?" The specter responded by pulling out an hourglass with the sands run out. "Your time on this mortal coil is over, Arakune."

"Then take me with him." Sarah said. "Please."

Death glanced over at Sarah. "I cannot take those whose times have not yet come. We will see each other again when it is time for you to join him." He turned away and began walking toward the door, Arakune following him. The ghost looked back at his love and said softly, "Goodbye."

She then took her sword and cut her arm wide open. "I'm going with you." She yelled.

"Please, Sarah. Stop this." Arakune requested with a gentle tone. He then walked through the door, his ghost vanishing as he stepped over the threshold. Death remained behind, however, his eyes meeting Sarah's. "You will bleed to death in minutes if that is not bandaged. Are you truly certain you wish to end your life like this?"

"I want to be with him." She said, "Even if it means suffering to do it."

"I cannot take your soul until your time has fully ended. You would suffer that pain to be with him?" Death's tone was emotionless as he watched Sarah bleed.

"Mhm." She nodded, the pain already overwhelming.

"I will give you these last moments to reconsider. If you decide you want to live, I shall restore you to your former state." The words held an aura of finality as the time of Sarah's death drew ever closer...

"My mind wont change." She said. Driving her weapon deep into her gut. "I'm crazy arent I?"

"You have forfeited your life." Death drew his katana again, piercing Sarah's chest with it painlessly as what pain she did feel vanished. Her ghost was pulled from her body, stained the color of blood. "Take my hand."

"Take me to Arakune." She demanded as she took his hand.

Nodding, he led her over the threshold into a blinding light. On the other side was a world eerily similar to that of the living, only everyone's ghosts were different colors depending on how they had died. Arakune was standing there, and his face fell as he saw Sarah. His only word was, "Why?"

"Because I love you... I had waited so long to be with you... I would be too sad to lose you now." She said. "I'm sorry."

"You had so much more to live for, Sarah. I know there were things you wanted to do with your life. But now you've thrown them all away." Arakune grasped Sarah's hands in his own. They felt just as solid as when they had both been alive. "Was it worth it?"

"Honestly... Yes." She said. "I would have lived my days in sorrow if I had known about your disease and was able to do nothing but watch you die." she said wrapping her arms around him. "Now I have eternity to be with you."

Arakune felt his love's embrace as he held her in return. "I should never have told you. Then this would not have happened." His voice trembled as tears welled up in his spectral eyes.

"But what would I have done when I had found out." She said. Pulling him closer. "Would you rather have had me live my days in sadness?"

"I would never wish sadness upon you." Arakune said softly. "But neither would I have wished for you to die with me." Death was standing behind them, utterly silent. He had pulled his cloak's black hood up to cast shadow over his face - a mechanism to hide the fact that even the personification of death itself could cry.

She hugged Arakune tightly. "This is the best way..."
