He still held her body as he shrieked and wailed. His tears fell on her pale face. He knew that the mission to find Miyamoto was now over. What would he tell Musashi ?
He eventually relaxed. He decided to manually bury Miyamoto¹ s dead body. His fingers were frozen to the bone. He kissed the area where his Œ¹ mother Œ¹ was buried.
SAKAKI : I¹ ll tell Musashi that you love her, Mommers.
A tear escaped one of his eyes and fell on the burial mound. He exited the cave. He tunneled above his position. He tried to ignore the torture his fingers endured. He continued to manually dig until a hole formed at the top of the snow. He smiled. He managed to escape the avalanche at last. He emerged. He looked around for Musashi. He was still weak from the avalanche.
SAKAKI : Musashi ?
His childhood friend continued to search for him. She gasped when she found a Dan Πin and ran over to him.
MUSASHI : Sakaki ?
SAKAKI : Musashi !
Musashi caught him when he collapsed.
MUSASHI : I¹ m glad that you¹ re alive.
Sakaki nodded.
MUSASHI : How did you survive ?
SAKAKI : Miyamoto was in my min....
He paused.
MUSASHI : Did you find our mother ?
Sakaki nodded.
SAKAKI : She.... told me.... to tell you that.... she.... loves you.
Musashi gasped.
SAKAKI : She.... died.... in.... my.... arms.
He sobbed whenever he uttered a word.
SAKAKI : I.... loved.... her. Her.... love enabled me to.... find her. It kept me alive.
Tears left Musashi¹ s eyes.
MUSASHI : At least, our mission has been completed.
Sakaki didn¹ t reply.
MUSASHI : We can still be siblings, right ?
SAKAKI : Perhaps during another life.
MUSASHI : What is that supposed to mean ?
SAKAKI : Miyamoto Mama¹ s death caused me to lose the will to live.
MUSASHI : You escaped the avalanche though.
SAKAKI : That¹ s only because I wanted to deliver her message to you.
Musashi smiled even as her wet face revealed her sadness.
MUSASHI : You¹ re sweet.
SAKAKI : Woman Boss never said anything like that to me ever.
He continued to cry uncontrollably as he embraced her.
SAKAKI : You¹ re kind just like our mother.
Musashi didn¹ t mind sharing Miyamoto. She had experienced Sakaki¹ s mother¹ s wrath during her childhood when she had met him. She was never jealous whenever she saw Miyamoto hug Sakaki. Whenever Sakaki cried, she did the same. Sakaki mentally contrasted Miyamoto and Woman Boss again. One mother would never dream of humiliating him unlike the woman who made him wear....
During his first days of his Dan Œ in years, his mother didn¹ t trust him. She usually teamed up with him to steal pocket monsters. They would often disguise themselves in order to snatch them more easily. Sakaki was always the woman and his mother was always the man.
Once they disguised themselves as a wealthy French couple. Sakaki wore a tall, wavy, and long powdered wig, white facial make up, and a white dress. His accessory was a fan. Woman Boss wore a powdered wig complete with a long ponytail, powder on the face, a black coat, a white shirt with a dickey attached, black pants, white stockings, and black shoes.
They were planning on stealing pocket monsters at a party for rich monster owners. Sakaki struggled to balance due to his wig.
SAKAKI : Moooommyyyy ! This wig is too heavy !
Woman Boss stole his fan and whacked him.
WOMAN BOSS : Too bad ! Besides, I¹ m your husband until we steal monsters.
She handed his fan over to him which he used to hide his face. Everyone at the party stared at the mother / husband and son / wife.
WOMAN BOSS : Distract a trainer while I try and steal their monster.
SAKAKI : Yes, Mom, er Dear.
He saw a trainer with his Ryukon and approached him. He wooed him. He watched his mother quietly snatch Ryukon and stuff it in her shirt. He ran with her. Woman Boss kept it in her office. She sent Sakaki to the Œ¹ guillotine Œ¹ for complaining.
The Dan Œ in recalled other disguises such as Sakaki / Athena, Woman Boss / Aries... The most humiliating costumes were Sakaki / prostitute and Woman Boss / pimp. The pander¹ s idea was to have the hooker Œ¹ sell her Œ¹ body in order to get monsters. She was dressed in a suit and tie.
Sakaki wore a long black wig, a necklace, a dark feather boa, a corset, a mini skirt, black pants, fishnet stockings, high heels, and elbow length gloves. Woman Boss watched her reluctant son stand near trees in a forest.
Sakaki would seduce any male trainer who willingly surrendered his pocket monsters. His mother collected money along with the creatures. The Dan¹ in sighed in Musashi¹ s arms. Miyamoto would never humiliate him. The purple haired woman smiled in his mind. He had the same expression. She embraced his inner child. She was his mother. He knew that he was about to die so he touched Musashi¹ s face.
SAKAKI : Goodbye, Musashi.
MUSASHI : Say hi to our mother for me.
Sakaki smiled and nodded.
SAKAKI : Sure.
He looked up and saw Miyamoto¹ s ghost temporarily replace Musashi !
GHOST : My son.
SAKAKI : Hello Miyamoto.
Musashi was confused.
SAKAKI : My beautiful mother.
He slowly died in Miyamoto / Musashi¹ s arms. Miyamoto vanished.
MUSASHI : Sakaki.
She never saw Mew above Sakaki¹ s dead body.
MEW : Mew !
It became one with the blue sky.... A baby¹ s cry was heard within a nearby hospital. A purple haired woman named Miyamoto held him. She looked up and saw Mew. The creature approached the baby and caused him to smile. It slept near its friend for life. Miyamoto looked at her sleeping son.
MIYAMOTO : Sakaki...
THE END
