This is the final chapter.
I will first apologize to all those who were reading this story. Because of a mix of multiple different things I haven't been able to update this story in a LONG time. Hopefully the fact that this is the final chapter will make up for that a little. Again, as I've mentioned before, all of these chapters are really short because this story was originally supposed to be a oneshot. But the oneshot was WAY too long so I decided to break it up. If you copy and paste all the chapters together, that's how long the oneshot originally was.
Thanks again for all those that have read my story!

I watched as Ryuho desperatly tried to revive the woman in his arms. Kanami was upset, but at the moment I really did not know what to do.
"Wake up..." Ryuho whispered, everyone could barely hear his voice over the storm now, "...please..."
Suddenly, it was like he snapped. All of the control and discipline that Ryuho held onto was gone. Raising his fist of his head, I realized what he was about to do, but I did not move fast enough to stop him. Ryuho let out a roar, and slammed his fist right into her chest.
The whole crowd heard it.
Mimori's eyes snapped open, and there was a loud gasp as she rolled over onto her side. Ryuho stared at her in shock, I was pretty sure that he had enough heart attacks to last him a lifetime. Kanami instantly dropped at Mimori's side, checking her over. Ryuho was too shocked to move.
"Get a medic team down here! Now!"
I love it how Kanami could order people arond when she want too.
I took this opportunity to see if Ryuho's brain had exploded. As tough as he tried to act, if I was in his position, I probably would have flipped out too.
"Yo' man, get ahold of yourself." I clamped a hand on his shoulder, "She's alright."
Ryuho looked at me a moment, and then his face softened.
"I'll take her."
He stood up, and slowly picked Mimori up in his arms. She laid her head against his chest.
"...Ryu-"
"Don't talk." he ordered.
I watched with a smirk on my face. He would have to face the fact now that he was in love with her. Kanami tugged on my sleeve.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Everyone is okay here. Let's go home, Kazuma." she the chuckled, "I think I need a bath."
She was soaked, and covered with mud and leaves. I could not help but laugh as I helped her up the slippery hill. We headed back to the house, and she headed into take a shower. Putting some tea on the stove, I began to think to myself.
What if that had been Kanami?
"Kazuma?" she walked down the hallway, wearing a robe and drying her hair, "The shower is yours. I'm done."
"Okay." I said, walking towards her, "Kanami?"
"Hm?"
I leaned over and kissed her.
"I love you." I whispered.
She blushed, staring at me with wide eyes. Smiling, I disappeared down the hallway to the bathroom. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see her staring at me. Then, she yelped as the kettle went off on the stove.
"Take care, Kazuma." I said, walking with him towards Ryuho and Mimori's. Kazuma was going to meet up with Ryuho to head back over to Tachibana's, and I was going to the visit Mimori and help her with some things.
"I will." he nodded.
It had been a few days since the storm incedent.The sun was shining today, and I could sense nothing but happy thoughts from the people in the town. It seemed that no one really took notice to Ryuho's display of Alter power. Not that we were too worried, but I have a feeling that he could have delt with it if the situation had called for it.
We knocked on the door.
Mimori opened it.
"Ah, Kanami-chan." she smiled, "Come in. Ryuho is just putting his shoes on."
I did not hear Kazuma and Ryuho's conversation. They were arguing about something again, but at this point Mimori and I were used to it. I sat in the kitchen heping her clean the good dishes. She was having a gathering at her house tommorrow, and because I was not working I volunteered to help her.
"We're off!" Kazuma called.
"Bye!" I waved as they left. As the door shut, I smiled to myself.
"What are you so happy about?" Mimori asked.
"I don't know." I replied, "I guess that I just am."
I sat in the passenger seat. After a few moments, I made a face.
"Can I drive next time-"
"No." Ryuho promptly said.
"Pffht." I said to him, "You're such a killjoy."
"I value what little sanity I have left, thank you very much."
"Like you had any to begin with."
"Moron, do you even know how to drive?"
I stared at Ryuho a moment, noticing his collar pulled high on his neck. Narrowing my eyes at it a bit, I then grinned. Notcing my devilsh grin, Ryuho looked at me uneasily.
"What?" he said.
"Ryuho..." I smirked at him, "...is that a hickey on your neck?"
He turned to me and began to curse loudly, his face was bright red, and yelled something about 'minding my own damn buisness'. Gezz, after all this time did he really think I would not notice something like that?
Ignoring his verbal attack, I laughed.
This life was not bad. Not bad at all.
I hope you enjoyed it! Review if you can!
