Sing was running into the Library that Ash usually resides, reading the books that was on the shelves. He runs to him as he slams the envelope onto the table as he looks at Ash.

"Sing? What are you doing here? Isn't Eiji leaving today back to Japan?"

"Yes! But they wanted me to give this to you."

"..Give me that."

He grabs it as he opens it, reading through the letter and looks at the ticket from New York to Japan. His eyes widen as he looks at Sing.

"Where is he?! Is he still at the airport?"

"He didn't board yet, you still have time."

Ash quickly gets up as he started to run down the aisle as Sing was in pursuit of him. By the time they both left the library, Sing was running to a car as Ash followed him into the car as Ash went into Shotgun and Sing taking driver as they sped off to the Airport.

~Eiji's P.O.V~

Eiji was being rolled around by Ibe as he and Ibe were saying their goodbyes to Bones, Cain, Jessica, etc. Eiji was holding the gifts that they have gave him but he is still looking around for one person. One blonde person that can shoot anyone down within a 25 yard mile. Ash Lynx. He kept on looking around but he couldn't find him. He sighs as he looks down at the flowers that were given to him, but he sighs, thinking to himself that maybe he decided not to come after all. Probably still feels guilty about what happened to him. He was about to be turned around by Ibe until he heard a voice ring in the air.

"WAIT! EIJI!!"

Eiji perked up his head as he looks as it was none other then Ash Lynx himself with Sing as he was still behind him, panting. He looks up at Ash as his eyes glimmer and gleam with happiness, seeing him. Ash runs and hops the railing straight for Eiji as he hugs him, holding onto him. Saying nothing as Eiji's eyes widen as he hugs him. Eiji tears up as he smiles at him as Ash pulls back, looking at Eiji.

"I assume you read the letter and saw the ticket?"

"Yes..but.."

"..But?"

"..Stay with me."

Ibe's eyes widen as he looks at Ash.

"What?! You know he can't stay! He's on a student visa! he has to go back at some point!"

"Fuck the Visa! I know I saw the ticket, I know you want me to go to Japan with you, but..I need you to stay with me..Please.."

Eiji looks at Ash as Ibe looks at Eiji.

"Come on Eiji, the plane is about to leave!"

"...If you don't want to stay then I'll go. But..the question is..who will stay and take my place. Nobody here can."

Eiji sighs as he looks at Ash.

"..You make it hard to leave Ash."

"Is it because of the charm I have?"

They both chuckle as Eiji shakes his head, as he looks at Ibe.

"...I..Want to move here."

"That's fine but you still need to finish your studies!"

 "...Go then Eiji. Just understand, Manhattan will never be the same without you. I will stay here until your return. Besides, who knows? By the time you come back, maybe somebody else will come and try to kill us all!"

Ash laughs and so did Eiji. Ash grabs Eiji's hand as he looks at him.

"...I..I wanted to tell you something.."

"...What is it?"

Ash smiles as he shakes his head.

"I'll tell you when you stay. For now..I'll be here waiting for your return. Okay?"

"...Heh..So like you..Alright then Ash. I'll see you then! I'll make it a promise!"

"Alright! And one more thing.."

"hm?"

"..My soul is with you always as well.."

Eiji looks at him as he blinks away his tears as he smiles as he waves bye to Ash and the others as Ibe pushed him to the gate as Cain grabbed Ash's shoulder.

"..How long do you think it'll take for him to come back?"

"...Five years tops. For now while he's gone. I have better things to do then weep."

Ash smirks as he puts the ticket and letter into his pocket as he left the Airport.
