Facing your own past

Unknown New World:Ice Heaven:Chapter 8:Facing your own past (Io Side)

Kuroha opened the usual gate he uses to travel anywhere.Before Kuroha and Io went in the gate, Kuroha drew out Southern Cross that turned into a dark chrome sword,when they went in,they immediately saw a beautiful park entrance that was colored orange by the sunset,
"This place,This place is where Shion and I spent my birthday picnic" Io said what he was thinking out loud.Kuroha pushed Io and then he said,
"Hurry,There is someone waiting for you inside that small trail park" 

Io walked to the park and while he was walking halfway through the small bridge,Io looked at Kuroha who was currently staring at Southern Cross that was glitching and eventually degraded.Kuroha wasn't bothered by his weapon degrading and he just went back in the gate leaving it open for Io to return to.

Io went back on walking to the inside of the park,when he reached the center of the park it was different than he remember.A shrine stood alone in the middle of the park and in front of it there is a tombstone standing like it was waiting for someone.
Io approached the tombstone and in close inspection,the words embedded on the tombstone was,
"Aikawa Shion,Murdered by an unknown killer"

Shion suddenly showed up in front of Io and greeted him,
"One hour,You got one hour to beat me" Io was dumbfounded for only a moment and immediately regained his cool.

The two of them stared at each other for approximately 58 minutes and Io opened his mouth,
"Thank you for staying by my side for all the years I was feeling alone.I always wanted to say this to you.......Thank you,Mom"

Shion smiled warmly at Io while her body fades away she said her final words to Io,
"Thank you,My Son.I am sure that we will meet again,there is someone near who can change impossible to possible" Shion faded away and tears fell down out from Io's eyes......
