                                    Chapter 6

Ib blinked as they were all together.

"Ib? Ib!" a familiar woman's voice called out.

Everyone turned to see Ib's mother coming.

"Ib, I finally fou-" Kira paused and her red eyes went wide. "Ozu... Look..." she whispered to her husband as he was coming slowly behind her as she saw Ami for the first time in eight years.

Mary apparently was now Garry's sister. She felt very sad but she didn't know why. Garry saw Mary's sadness and held her close.

Ozu came up and looked. "Ah..." he gasps quietly.

Ami turned to see her long-lost parents.

"Y-You look just like our first-born..." Kira couldn't believe it. "B-But you can't be..."

"She is, Mother..." Ib came forth.

Ozu came up to Ami and looked closely and hugged her.

Mary hugged Garry. "Can we go home? I don't feel well." she says softly.

"Umm... Sure," Garry picked up Mary in his arms. "Ib, I hope you and your family will be alright."

Kira glanced at Garry, since Ib knew him, she must have befriended him while she was lost and wandering off but she was also hugging Ami. "I'm glad you helped our daughters, but Ib, don't go wandering off with strangers, that's what happened to your sister." Kira softly scolded, she was just so happy to see her first-born again. She and Ozu didn't seem to wonder what happened to Lavender.

Ozu gave Garry a nod, he nor the others remembered Lavender at the moment. Ib looked at Garry with Mary as they went off somewhere else.

"Perhaps we should all get home now, it's getting dark." Kira offered.

Home. Ami had wanted to go home with her parents ever since her wrongful imprisonment.

Ozu nodded. "We'll get dinner on the way back." he says.

Ib smiled and followed her parents and sister out to get some food and have a happy ending at home. Ami was very pleased and she now knew she finally belonged because she was now finally going home. Ozu didn't seem to notice the new painting. Ib yawned a bit and lay down in Ami's lap and she fell asleep too.

"I take it you had some fun, Ib, we really must catch up with your sister," Kira said, smiling as they were in their ride home. "Girls?" she looked back to see them both fast asleep and in peace finally. She then turned to her husband, put a finger to her mouth and quietly shushed him so they wouldn't disturb the girls.

Ozu smiled and drove them to get some food first.

As they headed out Mary stopped Garry as they came by a new picture. "AH!" She cries out remembering, tears streaming down her face.

"Shh... Shh..." Garry tried to settle Mary as they were on their way to the rose sculpture in the art gallery. "It's going to be okay..."

"Garry, look!" Mary cries out and showed him the new picture that was up. She got the bouquet flower out of his pocket too.

The painting was of a woman with long black hair in a purple dress. Thornless rose vines surrounded her and she was holding a white Rose. She was crying but her face had a sad smile on it. The background was a deep dark red.

Garry looked, getting the message. He gently put Mary down on her feet and walked close to the painting. "Lavender...?" he murmured softly.

Mary was crying as she looked at the painting. She was so sad for her friend, not even caring she was was actually an adult. The plaque underneath said 'The Sacrifice of Love'. Garry took Mary's hand and gently squeezed it as he bowed his head and also let loose some tears for Lavender. The plaque was incredibly fitting.

"The art gallery will be closing in 10 minutes." a voice called to all of the people inside the gallery as guests.

Mary looked at Garry "We'll have to get Ib and Ami to remember..." she whimpers.

Garry looked back at her. "Yes... We'll have to find Ib and Ami again sometime... I don't know when, where or how, but we will bring Lavender back into all of our lives... I feel sorrowful seeing any rose now."

Mary nodded. "Let's go home..." she says softly as she gave one last sad look to the painting.

Garry nodded. He looked at the painting one last time and had a tear roll down his cheek. "Good-bye, Lavender... You really made a difference in my life like no woman ever has before..." he quietly muttered, choking back hysterical sadness with a grim face like a proper man who had just attended the funeral of his best friend. He then took Mary's hand and he took her to his home where she would live with him from now on.

Well, that's the end of Ib: Into the Abyss. Well, it's the end of this story however. There will be a sequel, I promise you that. I won't be uploading it though, this friend of mine who did the story with me will do it. It's still in the development stage, but it should be released soon on any website that the both of us use. We really hope you enjoyed the story, I hope you did since I submitted this one. If it's not too much trouble since this is the last chapter, comment & fave.
