Chapter 16 - Nightmare of the Snow Blizzard Swordsman

[Scene: As they finish composing the song, they both feel exhausted and decide to rest. They cuddle in bed, with Yuki's head on Kaito's chest.]

Yuki:"Kaito, where are we?"

Kaito: "What do you mean, Yuki?"

Yuki: "I mean, where are we in life? What are we doing?"

Kaito: "We're together, Yuki. That's all that matters."

[Scene: Suddenly, a figure in a white robe appears before them. It's the legendary Snow Blizzard Swordsman.]

Snow Blizzard Swordsman: "Greetings, Shiro, or shall I call you Kaito? Why did you run to your past, Kaito? Why did you forget being Shiro Fuyuka and run away from your responsibilities? Why didn't you spread the news that I, as the Snow Blizzard Swordsman, interrupted your fight with Kenjiro?"

Kaito: "I didn't want to die and lose Yuki. I wanted to protect her. I wanted to change my life. I didn't want to get my hands dirty anymore."

Yuki: "What do you mean, Kaito? Who is he?"

Snow Blizzard Swordsman: "The one you wanted to protect, Kaito, was not the one I wanted to protect."

Kaito: "What are you protecting, then?"

Snow Blizzard Swordsman: "We had different people we wanted to protect, Kaito. You wanted to protect Yuki, and the one I wanted to protect is..."

[Scene: Snow Blizzard Swordsman engages in a sword fight with Kaito. Kaito is no match for him and gets stabbed.]

Yuki: "Kaito!"

[Scene: Yuki watches in horror as Snow Blizzard Swordsman delivers the finishing blow to Kaito, who dies.]

Snow Blizzard Swordsman: "Keep in mind, I allowed you to live because I want you to live, not because I let you live to become lovers with Yuki. If I wasn't there, you would have died at Kenjiro's hands. I warned you, Kaito. When you're at the verge of death, I shall come to help you and take control. You are part of me. You and I are one. We had different people we wanted to protect. You wanted to protect the Yuki, and the one I wanted to protect is..."

[Scene: Kaito died, and Yuki wakes up, realizing it was all just a bad dream. She checks Kaito's wound, but there's nothing there.]

Yuki: "Kaito, I had a bad dream. I dreamt that the Snow Blizzard Swordsman killed you."

Kaito: "I had the same dream, Yuki. It was just a dream. We're okay."

[Scene: Yuki cries, and Kaito comforts her.]

Kaito: "It's okay, Yuki. We're alive, and we're together. That's all that matters."
