-sigh- The last chapter... Wow, this story went by WAAAY too fast... Ah well. I had fun writing it! I'm glad I chose to do a sequel for "Goodbye" or else I'd be really bored right now! XP
Brago: Yeah... and then you wouldn't have tortured me.
Me: Oh come on. It wasn't THAT bad.
Brago: Yes it was.
Me: Don't say such things. Because if I didn't make the sequel, you wouldn't even BE with Sherry! You'd still be in the mamodo world all alone deep in despair and dismay! So you'll just have to deal with me formaking the sequel! Ha-ha!
Brago: -stares and then mumbles something rude-
Me: Ah yes. The good ol' last chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Zatch Bell. If I did... well... let's just say I don't and end it there.
Come Back To Me
Chapter 13
Never Again
"You're in another tunnel."
"Another tunnel?"
Sherry looked around in her dream. It was the same one she had been having for a while now, but this was the most different one of all. The blonde saw that Koko was still on the wall, and the light behind her was brighter than ever. And something was different about the wall…
The wall had steps to it. Sherry could climb up the wall! She could reach her way to happiness. She could finally be rid of the dark that was trying to consume her!
But there was also something different about the dream. Sherry noticed a figure in the shadows standing close to Koko. She couldn't see the face of the figure, but she had a good idea of who it was.
Koko then reached out her hand to Sherry. "Come Sherry," she spoke. "Come to the happiness that you have been waiting for. Reach the light at the end of the tunnel, and escape the darkness."
A large smile emerged on Sherry's face, and she took a step forward. When she felt the light coming closer to her, the blonde began to run up the steps towards the light.
In just a few seconds, she reached the top of the flight of steps. The light was now all around her, welcoming her to happiness.
Koko gave a smile, and then took a step backwards. "Welcome to the light, Sherry."
The brunette then began to walk away, and Sherry called out her name. Koko stopped, and turned her head to face the blonde.
"Where are you going?" called Sherry.
The brunette just smiled even more. "I'm letting you fulfill what you have always wanted. To be with your love." And with these words, Koko vanished.
Sherry took a step forwards, her hand reaching out to where her best friend stood. "Come back…" she whispered.
Sherry then felt something grasp her shoulder. She turned around only to see Brago right next to her. The girl's eyes widened and a large smile grew on her face.
"Brago…" she breathed. Sherry placed her hand on top of Brago's, which was sill on her shoulder.
The dark mamodo didn't say anything, but smiled back and held his grip a little tighter onto the woman's shoulders. He then leaned forward, aiming to kiss the woman when suddenly…
Sherry woke up.
The blonde opened her eyes to see that she was still in her room. She thought back to her dream… Why did she have to wake up when the good part was about to happen? Curses…
Sherry just layed there on her bed. She didn't want to get up, and she didn't know if she could because she felt glued to the mattress.
The young woman turned her head around, only to see Brago sitting next to her on the bed. When he felt her eyes staring up at him, he turned his head around to look at her.
"Well, look who's finally up." he said. Sherry just smiled and grasped her hand onto his.
"Good morning to you too."
A small smile crept upon the dark mamodo's lips. It then vanished as he turned his head away. The blonde looked up at him with a confused face.
"What's wrong, Brago?" she asked.
The mamodo didn't answer her right away. But after a long pause, he finally let a sigh escape his lips. Turning his head, he looked down at the blonde and began to speak. "I don't know if I'm allowed to stay here, Sherry." he said quietly. "I don't know if I have to return back to my world."
A look of sadness then engulfed Sherry's expression. She looked up at her love, and raised her hand so she could place it on his cheek.
Brago put his hand over Sherry's as it came in contact with his skin. The two were in silence for a while, and then Brago stood up.
"I was out this morning and I found Zatch. He said that he wants to meet us later on at three." Brago then walked over to the window to look outside. "Says that he wants to tell us something important."
A look of realization took place on the blonde's face. She sat up in bed and looked over at the dark mamodo.
"I assume that this is where you thought that Zatch has to send you back to your world?" Sherry asked. Brago slightly nodded his head and the blonde gave a sigh.
The dark mamodo turned his head around. He hated to see Sherry upset, and right now of all times he didn't want her to be like this. Brago walked over to the girl and sat down on the bedside next to her.
Sherry looked at Brago. How happy she was now that he was back with her, but now, seeing that he might have to return back to his world… made her unhappy.
"I don't want you to leave." Sherry said quietly. Brago shook his head and took the blonde's hands in his own.
"I made a promise that I'd never leave you again." he stated. He looked the blonde in the eye as he said this. "And that's a promise I intend to keep. And like I said four years ago, even if I'm kicked out of my own world, I'll always be here for you."
Tears trickled down the young woman's cheek, and she sniffed. The young woman then grabbed onto the mamodo's shoulders and hugged him.
"I don't want you to go." whispered the blonde. "Not ever."
Brago wrapped his pale arms around the blonde's waist. "I'll never leave you, Sherry." The two just held each other in the embrace, both not wanting to ever let go. After a few minutes, Brago ended the hug and kissed the woman on the lips. "You're my human, and mine only. I'll never leave you."
Sherry smiled and gave off a sigh. She opened her eyes to look into Brago's cloudy ones. "Thank you, Brago." she said quietly. "For everything you've done for me. Whether it was four years ago when we first met, or right now. Thank you."
Brago smirked and kissed the blonde again. The two then stopped kissing after another minute and they both stood up and walked out of the room.
-o-o-o-o-o-
It was three o clock, and Zatch Bell was standing out in an open area with his other friends (Kiyo, Megumi, Kolulu, Tia, and everybody else). They were all waiting for Sherry and Brago to appear, so that way they could get on with whatever the mamodo king wanted to say.
After a few minutes, they noticed two figures approaching. It was Brago and Sherry, right on time… or close enough anyways.
"Hi Brago! Hi Sherry!" greeted the lightning mamodo. He waved his hand about and then laughed a little.
"So, what is it you wanted to say?" said Brago gruffly. "Were you planning on sending me back to the mamodo world?"
"Huh?" Zatch Bell gave Brago a puzzled look. "What the heck are you talking about? Why would I send you back when you're happy and content here with Sherry?" The lightning mamodo gave a laugh and shook his head. "You're so weird…"
Both Brago and Sherry were a little confused by this. Sherry looked first from Zatch, to Brago, and then back to Zatch.
"So, you're not sending Brago back to your world?" asked the blonde.
Zatch only laughed even more. "Of course not!" he cried. "I just wanted to make a few announcements before me and everybody else left!" He looked around at everyone, and continued. "Brago, you get to stay here if you want. And I'll even grant you permission to travel back and forth through the worlds, since one of them is your homeland and the other one has Sherry in it. This way, if you ever need to, you can go to both worlds at once. And I'll show up if you ever need to get to the other world.
Second, I'd also like to say that everybody else seems to have missed everyone as much as I have. So I'm also going to let everybody visit one another every once in a while." Zatch turned around to face Kiyo. "And that means I get to see you, too!" he said happily.
Kiyomaru smiled while one side of him muttered. Was this a good thing or a bad thing? Oh well, if he had to choose, it would be more of a good thing… sort of…
Sherry turned to face Brago. "So, how is it that you thought that you had to be sent back again?"
"Well, Zatch said it was urgent, so that's just what I assumed."
The mamodo king gave a laugh. "And this is urgent! To let everybody know that they'll be able to visit one another, and to let you two know that you'll be able to stay with each other!"
Sherry shrugged. Well, it was a decent enough for her.
Lori looked down at Kolulu and rested her hand on the little girl's shoulder. "I'm glad I could see you again." she said. Kolulu smiled and agreed.
Kanchome looked up to Folgore and let out a cry. "I don't want to leave you again!" The Italian singer just laughed and patted the mamodo on the back.
"Don't a worry one bit. Zatch a said that a you could a visit me. No worries!"
Everyone else said their things to say to their mamodo or human counterparts. And then they walked off to spend the rest of the day together before the mamodos had to return back to their world. Sherry and Brago watched as the others said goodbye and left.
Brago watched as the mamodo king headed off somewhere with Kiyo. What a strange king, but he guessed that it was good that he was king and not anybody else (besides himself, of course). It was true, he was benevolent.
The dark mamodo then felt something warm wrap around his shoulders. He turned his head around to see Sherry hugging him. A smile played with the mamodo's lips as he returned the hug.
"I love you, Brago." said Sherry only above a whisper. She held onto the dark mamodo tightly.
"I love you, too."
The two just stood there, embracing each other. Both never wanting to leave the other or to let go.
Never again would Brago leave Sherry behind. Never again would he let somebody else take her away from him, and never again would he let himself be taken away. Never again would Sherry let Brago leave her. Never again would she let somebody else take her away from him, and never again would she even dare to look at somebody else the way she looked at Brago. Never again would any of that ever happen.
Never again… never again… never again…
THE END
Ah... the end of the story! I really do hope you all liked it! And I appreciate you all for reviewing and reading this story! -smiles-
You know... I've noticed not too long ago about how popular the whole BragoSherry pairing really is. Hasn't anybody noticed there's quite a few stories out there with them as a pairing or main pairing?
Now... again, THANK YOU ALL REVIEWERS! It really makes me feel good to know that people actually put up with this story and liked it! XP AND I HAVE MORE THAN 100 REVIEWS! WHOOT!
'Twas also kinda strange, because earlier when I was writing this story, when I wrote in once scene: "It was three o clock", when I wrote it, in real life it actually WAS three o clock!Now that I think is kinda funny:-)
Anyways, The characters that were either mentioned or were actuallyin the story: Brago, Sherry, Zatch Bell, Kiyo, Kolulu, Lori, Tia, Megumi, Schneider, Kafka, Kanchome, Folgore, the waiter-dude at the cafe (chapter2, but hardly even mentioned), Noru (boo! evil!), Richard (kill!), and the mention of the other mamodo from "Goodbye". And to any other characters I might have forgotten about, but that's all my brain can think of for now!
And thanks for me for writing this story! Haha! And, the 2nd most important thing, you reviewers!
Speaking of reviewers...
Rae: You reviewed right after I updated the last chapter! Ah well, don't worry, you are allowed to kill Richard now! And, I don't think I'll make a sequel to this. And that makes me think of something... if I did make a sequel, then it would be a sequel to a sequel! Ha-ha!
Blood of the Wolf: 1...2...3...6...10...39...50... 85! You said "YES" 85 times! Haha! Yes, let me torture Richard, too! RICHARD BASHING! WHOOHOO! -takes my own magic sword and runs over to help-
Crying White Wolf: In the story Richard may be dead, but that doesn't mean you can't torture him. And besides, look at everyone else. Some of THEM are torturing Richard! And... no... I don't think I'll make a sequel to this. I've had enough of writing about Richard. And besides, I still have other stories to work on that hardly have any chapters to them! You can read them if you want:-)
PsychicLunar: If Kanchome DID try to use that attack on Zophise, then i really, really, really want to see it now! I bet it's pretty funny:-) I still think Zophise should be a girl...
MadisonMohawksJD: No, no, no! My battle scenes are horrible! -sobs- Eh, anywhow. I've read better battle scenes, I just need more practice.
RuN-Fr0m-h3r3: Actually, it just depends on who you're torturing to make it fun. Brago is one of those people/mamodo that make you just WANT TO TORTURE HIM EVEN MORE! ha-ha, yeah. Brago: Why you f-- Me: No, no. Potty mouth! XP
Enula: Well, here's the last chappy! And yes, it makes one feel good to know that they get 100 REVIEWS! WHOHOO! Ha-ha, sorry. And... oh dear... you think that that was a lime/lemon thing? o.O Um... ok then, well, I don't picture those things as that. I kept it at a PG-13 level... and... I don't think that it'd be considered lime/lemon... it's not that intense... is it? o.O Ah well. I don't write/read those things for a couple of good reasons. 1: I'm not old enough. 2: Even if I WAS old enough, they would freak me out. -.- Yeah... But, glad you like it!
SilverMoons BlackWings: Here's the last chappy, and i'm glad you like it!
Inumaru12: O.O OK then... that's A LOT of Richard-bashing...o.O
SweetestChick: Thanks! Glad you like it!
Yamia Ishtar: Thank you! Now i know what "hanyou" means, because I had a friend that said it meant "demon" and then I saw somewhere else that it meant "half-demon", so I got really confused right there. Yup... Well, thanks for telling me! -smiles-
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU ALL REVIEWERS! You all have made me so happy!
-smiles reeeeaaaally big-
Now, If anybody has any questions about my story, I'll answer you via email. Well, that's it for this story! And again, thank you all reviewers:D I had fun writing this!
See ya!
