Chapter 12- The Loss and Gain of Life
Naruto belongs to Masashi Kishimoto
Let's roll:
The battle raged on deep in the dungeon. The sounds of shouts, punches, and clinking metal from the shinobi were deafening. Konan, Tobi, and Kitsune were relatively unharmed from fighting their opponents, even though Kitsune still refused to fight back. Pein was still being crushed under Zetsu and was gasping for air now and his face was slightly discolored. Hidan was almost unrecognizable since Kakuzu had really beaten the crap out of him. He was covered in blood from head to toe and had several broken bones. He cared not. He thought that maybe if he was hurt badly enough, he would be able to die. His soul would leave this earth and he could see Nenriki again. It would be as if her death were a dream…no, a nightmare. He could hope, but he would never truly believe it could happen. His soul wasn't bound to this earth by a human body, weak and easily broken. His god kept him tethered to the world, and he would not set his soul free.
Sasori still sat in his throne like the God he would soon become. He was too busy enjoying the bloodshed to notice that a bloody puddle was all that was left of Nenriki.
UPSTAIRS
Itachi had been watching the battle with interest. He was peeking around the door frame with his body still lying on the ground. He could now more or less see the room that Sasori had illuminated it. But since he had poor vision, he just heard it and could pretty much tell what was going on. He was too weak to fight himself, but when he saw the supposedly dead girl in the middle of the room start to twitch, he supposed he could manage to bring her up to safety unnoticed. Itachi had snuck down to the dungeon and was ignored due to all of the fighting and his crazy ninjistical skill. He may have been weak, but he was still Uchiha Itachi. He had gently placed her body on the carpet floor and continued to watch the fight progress.
Nenriki's POV in third person
Nenriki slowly opened her eyes to complete darkness. She wondered if she had gone blind, but waved her hand in front of her face and saw it clearly. She wasn't blind. The next thing she noticed was that she was floating. Waving her arms and legs, she felt nothing solid to stand on. She thought about how she had gotten here. There was Sasori, there was a katana, and there was Hidan…Hidan. She remembered jumping in front of him to stop him from being stabbed. She didn't know why she did it, since she knew he would easily survive it, but Nenriki couldn't stand the thought of seeing Hidan hurt by someone other that his own hand during rituals. The third thing she noticed was that when she went to feel where the wound had been, there was nothing. No blood, no tissue, and no pain. Nenriki lifted up her shirt to find that her skin was as smooth as it always had been. She didn't know where she was, but at least she wasn't injured anymore.
"Hello?" She called out. "Is anyone there? I don't really know where I am. Am I dead? I would really appreciate some answers!"
Suddenly, as if to respond to her cries, a large white light appeared in the darkness. Nenriki couldn't decide if it was close to her, or really big and far away like the sun since there was nothing to compare it to. When the light disappeared, it revealed a man that was several meters away from her. The man was wearing a long blood red robe and had no shoes, since he was floating like her. His silver, wavy hair was long and flowed around his face like water. His face was so fine, he almost looked like a woman, and his pink eyes looked much like her own. The most unique thing about this man was that from his back sprouted two black feathery angel wings.
"Who are you?" She asked, a hint of fear in her voice. However, something about the stranger's warm and handsome face made her instantly trust him.
"I am a messenger from Jashin. He had promoted me to sainthood many years ago, and I am one of his most trusted advisors. I posses no name in this realm, but for now, you may call me Aiden."
"Aiden? Isn't that the name of an-?"
"Emo rock band on earth, yes. But it was my name when I was human long ago."
"Oh, ok then. Aiden, what am I doing here? What does Jashin-sama want with me?"
"Nenriki-chan," Aiden moved and put his hand on her shoulder, "Jashin-sama has decided to give you something special." He then moved his hand down and put it over her heart. She tilted her head in confusion, but Aiden simply smiled reassuringly. She looked down as his palm pressed against her chest and it began to glow red. She didn't feel much. Her chest got a bit warmer and it started to tingle a bit. "Jashin-sama has granted you the gift," Aiden removed his hand and floated back several feet, "of immortality."
Nenriki simply stared at Aiden in shock. It was almost a minute before she could ask, "I-I'm immoral, now?" She choked out.
"Yes, yes you are. Being immortal is only given to those who truly deserve it. You are a dedicated Jashinist. Your new love, Hidan-kun, I remember giving him his immortality many years ago. He was so excited at first that Jashin-sama had given him such a great gift. However even though we worship him, Jashin-sama is usually not merciful. He is fair, but not merciful. Hidan-kun soon realized that immortality is a curse. To be destined to never die, to still be alive when all other lives are gone and the worlds turns to ash, is much worse than death. Jashin-sama gives immortality to his followers just so they can become more useful to him. They can perform more advanced rituals, and make more sacrifices. We should all be glad to serve our god, but every religion has its sacrifices." Aiden was silent for a moment and stared back at Nenriki. "Immortality is a true hell," He whispered softly, "unless you have someone to spend it with. Now, it's up to you to decide whether this is a gift or a curse, Nenriki-chan."
Aiden had said it all, and she had nothing left to say. She understood what had been given to her. As to whether it was a curse or a gift…well, at the thought of spending eternity with Hidan, the answer was quite obvious. She could see her friends again, and she would have all the time in the world to spend with Hidan. Now, she knew she would have to say good-bye to her friends eventually, but she would always have Hidan. Not to mention, she wouldn't have to be careful not to hit any major organs during rituals. She smiled, because she had just been given one of the best gifts she'd ever gotten, and it was from her god, Jashin-sama.
Aiden smiled back. "Who knows? Maybe eventually Jashin-sama will make you two saints someday too, and you won't have to suffer the world alone. I see great potential, in both of you. Oh, and one more thing, don't listen to anything Sasori says. He did meet Jashin, but Jashin could beat the wood pulp out of that puppet. He chooses not to intervene on earth except when he has to, like now." Aiden reached in the pocket of his robes and pulled out a tiny violet stone. He handed it to Nenriki. It fit perfectly in the palm of her hand. "Here, you can use this to stop him, if you need to. It's not often that we give these away, so don't waste it. Also, the puppet's crazy with power. He has no such power to strip you of your immortality. I wish both of you the best of luck in whatever you so choose to do. Hopefully we shall see each other again soon." Without another word, Aiden disappeared in a great ball of light and the darkness slowly faded away.
Nenriki awoke and slowly opened her eyes. She found herself to be staring at the ceiling of the Akatsuki hideout. She rolled her head to her left to find Itachi sitting by the door and staring down the staircase.
"Itachi?" Itachi didn't bother to look at her.
"Oh, I see you're finally waking up. I don't know what you did, but your wound is completely healed up." Itachi kept his voice flat. He seemed very interested at what was going on down those stairs.
Nenriki sat up and lifted her shirt up past her stomach. Itachi was right. Her shirt and skin were covered in blood, but there was no wound under it. Also, the skin on her palm was tight and pink for reasons unknown to her, but even that was returning to its normal color. Too much was on her mind to realize that she wasn't connected to Hidan anymore.
Itachi was still staring down the stairs, and Nenriki realized that that was where the fight between Sasori and the others were going on. She crawled over next to Itachi and looked with him. The sight she saw made her breath catch in her throat. The Akatsuki members and her friends were fighting each other as Sasori sat and watched.
"What the fuck is going on down there?"
"Well," Itachi explained, "Sasori hit some of them with these weird green balls, and then they just stared fighting each other. I can only imagine that they are somewhat possessed like I was." Itachi said matter-of-factly.
"Why are you just sitting here doing nothing? Shouldn't you be helping them or something?"
"I'm too weak to fight."
"You weren't weak enough to bring me up here! I'm assuming that was you that did that by the way." Itachi nodded.
"That didn't require much physical motion. I have plenty of chakra, but by body is still weak."
"Well, use some of that chakra to help them! How can you just sit here and watch them beat the crap out of each other?"
Itachi shrugged his shoulders. "I murdered my entire family and clan before I hit puberty, so watching people I hardly consider my friends fight isn't very hard for me." Itachi kept his voice toneless. Nenriki stared at him in shock. She wasn't an exceptionally caring person to strangers, and she knew that she could be bitchy to Damu, but she would do anything to help her friends. They were all she had.
Nenriki peered down again at the fighting again. Damu was fighting Tobi, Kistune was fighting her brother, Konan was fighting the shark nin, Kisame, and Pein being crushed by Zetsu. Sasori was just sitting there looking amused. Where were Hidan and that Kakuzu fellow? It would only make sense that they would fight each other, since they were the only two left. Nenriki caught sight of a silver head, and was relived, that is, until she saw the rest of him. Hidan was literally covered in head to toe in his own blood. One of his arms was mangled and his thigh bone was jutting out of his skin. It wasn't even so much the wounds he had, it was the fact that he was just letting that stuff happen. Hidan made no effort to fight back or even defend himself. She stared at the scene for several more minutes before she couldn't take any more of it.
"What the hell is he doing to himself?" She screamed at Itachi.
Itachi sighed. "Well," he said slowly, "I can only imagine he's lost the will to live after he saw you die. You and all you friends were pretty broken up about it. I don't know why, though. I don't see what all the fuss is about, I mean, you just died."
Nenriki decided to ignore this comment. "Wait, so, they all still think I'm dead, and that's the reason why Hidan isn't doing anything, because he just doesn't care anymore?"
Itachi merely nodded.
"Well then I have to go tell them that I'm not dead and-!" Nenriki was about to jump down the stairs when Itachi grabbed the back of her blood-stained shirt. She turned around and opened her mouth to yell at him but he spoke first.
"If you really want to help them," Itachi sighed, "then it might be better if you use the element of surprise to catch Sasori off-guard."
"Itachi, why are you helping me?" Nenriki asked skeptically.
Itachi sighed. "I have nothing better to do. And besides, Kisame is my partner. Also, if Sasori destroys the earth, then what's the point of ruling it? He's just more competition for a genius like me."
"Oh Itachi! You do care for people, I knew it!" Nenriki gave him a hug. Itachi remained emotionless.
"I don't care. I just changed my mind. Can't a guy change his mind? I thought we were in America."
"Itachi," Nenriki said, pulling away, "last time I checked, we were in Japan."
"Ok, you win. I can't read maps well. I'm going blind, leave me alone!"
Nenriki laughed, despite the situation. She didn't mind this Itachi fellow. "It doesn't matter. But, are you sure you are strong enough to fight."
Itachi scoffed at this comment. "I may not heal as quickly as the man with five hearts, but I'm still an Uchiha." Itachi had his pride.
"Ok, so then what do we do now?"
"Well, we need a plan."
Nenriki reached in her pocket and felt her fingertips brush a small stone. It was the stone that Aiden had given her. "Don't worry." Nenriki smirked devilishly. "I know what to do."
BACK DOWNSTAIRS
The leader had miraculously freed himself from underneath Zetsu, and was gasping for breath. They were now trying to fight back to back, but it was very awkward. Pein managed to slam Zetsu against the stone wall hard, but that was about it. Tobi and Damu hadn't gotten very far, but Konan managed to punch Kisame in the crotch. Girl power. Most of them didn't do ninjutsu because their possessed bodies didn't know how, or their hands were tied, or their other five bodies were in another village far away. Or they were just checked out mentally due to depression. They all just stuck to taijutsu.
Hidan was still making no effort to fight back, or even move. Kakuzu just kept pounding away at him. Hidan lay sprawled out on the ground, and completely covered with blood. He merely glanced up at Kakuzu who was cracking his knuckles. He was readying himself to throw a beastly strong punch at his face, and Hidan just looked at him with a blurry gaze. Kakuzu swung his fist and he didn't care. Hidan didn't feel the pain, and wondered if he had broken his brain. He lazily looked and Kakuzu, and saw something that nearly made him die for real. Nenriki was grasping Kakuzu's fist and she was smiling down at him. She turned towards Kakuzu and punched him hard in the stomach. While he was bent over in pain, she scored a kick over his head. He quickly recovered and kicked Nenriki hard in the stomach. She then disappeared into a ball of smoke.
A shadow clone. This must be someone's sick idea of a joke. Nenriki's dead. I will never see her again.
"Hidan! Get off your damn ass and fight, dammit! Or at least defend yourself! C'mon!"
Now I'm hearing voices. Fuck this. Fuck life. Hidan let out a depressed emo sigh on the inside.
Itachi had created several shadow clones and was trying to hold back the possessed members. No one really knew what was going on, but they just let Itachi help them without asking any question. Nenriki had ordered him not to hurt them, but he was getting increasingly frustrated. He wanted to hurt someone. He was not content to just holding people back, even if he usually never showed it.
"N-Nenriki?" Kitsune had stopped dead in the process of fighting her brother with Itachi when she saw a flash of her friend's silver hair. She stared blankly at her for a minute, but was snapped out of shock when Deidara punched her in the face. She landed hard on the ground. She sat up and spat out a glob of blood from a tooth that had been knocked out. "You're getting a supreme weggie for that later, Dei!"
"Nenriki-chan?! Tobi thought you were dead! Damu! Damu! Look Nenriki-chan's alive!"
Damu stopped fighting Tobi for a second to look at Nenriki. Suddenly, the bright green light left his eyes and he stumbled.
What is this? Why do you stop? I am your master now, and I command you to kill him!
Damu paid no attention to Sasori's screams and commands as he stumbled over to Nenriki. He stood before her for a moment before he embraced her in a hug that could shatter bones. Nenriki stood there shocked for a second before she smiled and chuckled softly.
"Nice to see you too, Damu. Ya know, you're my favorite idiot! You're not so ba-!" Nenriki was cut off because she felt a piercing pain in her back. She quickly pulled away from her friend and reached up her back. She felt a kunai embedded near her spine and warm blood spread down her back. She pulled it out and looked at Damu in surprise. His eyes were once again glowing green.
Haha! I tricked you! I tricked you! I made him do that! Foolish mortal, it will take more than love to defeat me. I don't know how you're still alive, but I will have no story book ending.
"Nenriki, no!" Kitsune was confused, but she didn't want to see her closest friend die again. It was too much.
"Hehe." Nenriki smirked and stepped toward Sasori. "I know it takes more that that than to defeat an immortal. Damu," Nenriki spoke to him while still keeping focus on Sasori, "even though I'm now immortal, that still hurt. You'll pay for that later."
What do you mean immortal? You can't be immortal.
"False."
I'm the only true immortal in this room!
"False."
You have nothing that you can use against me! I am unstoppable!
"False."
BITCH! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! YOU'RE CRAZY!
"Fa- half false."
What the hell are you talking abou-? Sasori's crazy rant was cut short by the sound of bones breaking. He looked down and saw a hand sticking out from the front of his chest. The hand clutched a violet stone, the same color of the eyes of that damn girl. He slowly twisted his head around and with wide eyes in shock; they fell upon the same girl that was just before him. He whipped his head back around to see her waving and smiling. The one in front of him couldn't be a shadow clone, since she hadn't disappeared when she was stabbed. The hole in his chest started to burn. He glanced down and saw that the stone was giving off an extremely bright glow that burned his eyes. She must be channeling her chakra through it. He had felt this power before…Jashin. He murmured.
"That's right. You're his bitch now." Nenriki used her shadow clone and pushed as much of her chakra as she could through the now hot stone. Sasori screamed in pain as it began to burn his solid flesh. The stone seemed to be sucking away his power, and Nenriki felt stronger with every passing second. It's as if the power was being given back to Nenriki. She then used this power and forced it back through this stone. Sasori was almost being destroyed by his own power. Suddenly, the others eyes were returned to normal as the demon power left their bodies. Shaking their heads to clear their minds, they suddenly became aware of the injuries they had sustained during the battle. Most of them just winced and shook off the pain, but Kisame screamed, went cross-eyed, and started rolling around on the floor with Konan, grabbing his crotch in pain. Zetsu was apologizing furiously to the leader, who was being strangled by Zetsu's plant parts when he came to. Itachi released his shadow clone technique and stood there casually as if nothing exciting was going on.
Sasori let out another scream as more of his bones splintered. All eyes were upon him as he fell to his knees. Nenriki withdrew the stone and Sasori started panting heavily. He looked up and scanned the room, his eyes falling on each of the people. His eyes stopped at the real Nenriki.
You…you have met with Jashin. You have beaten me… and now you are immortal. There is nothing left for me. I gave a small reward to that pink-haired bitch the last time I died…so I guess it's only fair that I do it again. Girl, he turned towards Kitsune. I was there. I saw you. The last ingredient you added…it was petals from a sakura tree. Hopefully… that will help you somehow. Tobi-kun, he turned to the orange masked man. I…I tried to torture you at first by stealing from the others…and scaring you, but now I see…I see that you care about your friends. Take..take…care of…Deidara.
The light faded from Sasori's eyes as he fell to the ground in a motionless heap. No one spoke. No one made a sound. After about a minute of silence, Deidara ventured forward. He bent down and grabbed his Danna's hand.
"Woah! It's made of wood, un! It's like he's back in his original body."
"But is he still alive?" Pein asked.
"I don't know, un. It's not like he ever had a pulse to begin with. The only thing we can do now is wait."
"Until then…NENRIKI, HOW THE HELL ARE YOU STILL ALIVE? YOU SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF US WE SAW YOU DIE YOU WERE BLEEDING ON THE GROUND AND OHMYGODHIDAN!" Kitsune almost died from the sheer force that her own voice carried because it almost, like, exploded her brain and the entirety of her existence. Nenriki then just remembered Hidan was probably bleeding on the floor somewhere. She looked around frantically until she saw him. He was barely conscious and was soaked with blood on the floor. She ran over to him and bent down by his side. She cradled his head in her arms.
"Hidan? Hidan! Can you hear me, baby? C'mon!"
Hidan's eyes flickered open and focused on Nenriki. "Sha-shadow clone?"
"No, Hidan. It's really me. I died, but Jashin gave me immortality. I'm alive. I'm really, really, here. Please believe me. I'll never leave you again." Nenriki almost never cried, but her eyes began to burn and a large lump formed in her throat.
"I-I can't believe you. It's…it's just a trick. Can't get hurt…can't get hurt again." Hidan's head lolled from side to side because he was so weak from his injuries and blood loss.
"No, you have to believe me. Hidan, I met with Aiden. He gave me immortality, and the stone I used to defeat Sasori."
"Aiden? You..you saw Aiden?"
"Yes, babe. I promise, I'm really immortal, I'm really here, and I will never leave you again." Tears rolled openly down Nenriki's face now because she was so overcome with emotion. "Hidan," Nenriki brushed the stray hair out of Hidan's face and wiped his face clean of blood, "I love you."
"Nenriki," he said in barely more than a whisper, "I love you too." Hidan lifted his head up and buried it Nenriki's neck. He was shaking from his sobs. Tears rolled down his face and soaked Nenriki's shirt. No one ever made fun of him for crying, not even Kakuzu.
"Well, this is quite the little love fest we have going on here." Everyone's heads ripped around to the source of the voice. There, standing in the middle of room, was Sasori in his woody body and all. "What the hell are all of you staring at? Wait, how did I even get here? All I remember is blacking out after I fought with that pink-haired bitch."
All were stunned into shock. They all stared at him with mouth agape.
"What? Do I have something on my face?" Sasori wiped his face and inspected his body. "Aww man! Look at this hole in my chest! Lucky it didn't hit my heart. That's going to take some major fixing." Sasori looked around at the members. "Oh, hello there. I don't believe we've met." He looked at Damu, Kitsune, and a still tear soaked Nenriki. "I'm Sasori, who're you?" He walked over to them and held out his wooden hand. Damu tentatively shook it, with his eye twitched. Sasori was unusually oblivious to all the tension in the room.
"I-I'm Damu, I guess. This is N-Nenriki, and th-this is Kitsune, Deidara's sister."
"A, brat! I never knew you had a sister! You look just like her. Oh, my dear!" He noticed the tears on Nenriki's cheeks, although they were slowing. "What's wrong? Did something happen? Who made you upset?" this was one of the more ironic moments of their lives, since it was mostly Sasori who caused this whole fiasco.
"Uh, um, no one. I'm fine, really." Nenriki wiped her face dry.
"Splendid! I must have really been out from that fight with Bitchy MacBitchster Queen of the Pink-Haired Bitches. I'm going to my room to do some repairs now." Sasori walked upstairs to his room without another word.
Everyone was silent for a full minute.
More silence.
Oh man, this was a really long, awkward silence. You don't even understand.
"What the hell just happened?" Kisame asked loudly, making everyone jump.
"I-I don't think Sasori remembers anything that happened after he died. Maybe that stone Aiden gave me just sucked the evil immortal part out of him." Nenriki suggested.
"Who's Aiden?"
"Oh, no one that concerns you, Damu."
"Ok."
"Well what now, Sir?" Zetsu asked.
"Well," He started, "I suppose we could just pretend like nothing ever happened. Everyone ok with that?" Pein asked hopefully.
Everyone nodded and mumbled agreements. Let's just pretend that Sasori didn't come back to life as an immortal, try to seek revenge on the Akatsuki for replacing him by killing them all, causing overall turmoil and chaos in the hideout and then come back to life again as his former self. It's like it didn't even happen.
They all trudged up the staircase. Hidan had already begun to heal and only needed a little support from Nenriki to walk. They were all headed towards the kitchen when a piercing shriek reached all of their ears.
"Who the hell has been touching my shit?!" Sasori's voice could be heard all across the hideout.
"Uhhh, I guess we'll have to explain that Tobi now inhabits Sasori's side of the room, and they are both still partners with Deidara." Pein stated.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Tobi interrupted. "Sasori's last words, he said to take care of Deidara-sempai! Sempai! Sasori really does like you and care for you. Aww, that's so sweet." He then embraced his sempai in an adorable squishy bear hug.
"Sh-shut up, Tobi." Deidara half-heartedly mumbled this, but under his hair, a small smile appeared.
"Ahem," The Leader said, "Speaking of Sasori's last words, I believe that you have a solution to finish. After all, Damu, Tobi, Kisame, Konan, Zetsu, and I are still stuck together. Better get right on that." He said with a calm, friendly smile.
"I'll get right on that Leader-sama, but there's one thing I have to take care of first."
"Oh? And what would that be?"
"Well," She began, with a mischievous smile on her face, "Ready Nenriki?"
"Ready, Kitsune!"
"Ok, one, two THREE!"
The Kitsune reached down Deidara's pants and Nenriki reached down Damu's. They both grabbed their undergarments and yanked up with the full force of a shinobi, giving the pair the most intense weggies that they had ever received. Deidara and Damu screamed in pain.
"That's for punching me in the face!"
"And that's for stabbing me in the back! Literally!"
The others giggled and laughed. "Oh my god, Dei-chan wears whitey-tidies!" Hidan screamed, making Deidara blushed.
Nenriki simply stared at the pair of briefs clutched in her hands. "Damu?"
"Yes, Nenriki?" Damu said, still dangling inches above the ground by his underwear.
"Are those Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?"
Damu gave a shifty gaze. "NO!" he screamed and ran off giggling with Tobi somewhere.
They all laughed. Kitsune quickly headed back to her room to finish the solution. It worked perfectly the first time. Unfortunately, somehow she had managed to throw in an extra ingredient. It still worked fine, but there was a nasty little side effect. The people it was used on seemed to act like animals for several hours. It was really weird. Kisame spent the entire afternoon acting not like a shark, but jumping through hoops and squeaking like a dolphin. Zetsu climbed up trees and chattered like a chipmunk, claiming that he lost his nuts, and Konan was hissing like a snake and tried to worm her way through the grass. The leader was a lion, and tried to bite Tobi, who was prancing around the hideout like a gazelle. Damu showed his true colors by acting like a rock. He just sat there in a ball and pretended to roll down a hill, and then Kisame tried to bounce him on his nose like a ball. It did not turn out well.
Once the effects wore off, Konan convinced Pein that the hideout was more interesting with the newcomers around, and that they should be allowed to stay with them. He somehow agreed to this. He was probably just scared of Konan, though.
Sasori got used to the fact that he now had two partners, and he never did found out that he had almost killed the entire Akatsuki. That would have been really awkward. Also, Nenriki and Hidan stayed together, deeply in love. They were inseparable. Kakuzu could barely stomach one Jashinist, but when two were together, he would have given his money away to shut them up from babbling on about Jashin, and bloody rituals, and how they would spend their next thousand or so years together. They knew this bothered him, so they just made sure to start talking about Jashinism whenever he walked into the room. It caused them great enjoyment. They were truly made for each other.
All lived happily ever after, ya know, until the next demonic spirit/shinobi/Sasuke/the writer of Naruto tried to stop the Akatsuki. They never prevailed. The manga is lying to all of you. Don't believe it. It's all genjustsu. It's like it didn't even happen! Bwahahaha! Ahem, any whose. The stories never stopped, because it's always interesting when you're with the Akatsuki.
Aaaaaannd…DONE! Finally. Uhg, this took forever. I kinda like the ending, but I'm probably going to continue this in another story with another plot if I get ideas. Send me comments for ideas you all have! This was my first fanfic. It was so much fun to write, but it's finally done! For those of you who liked this story, I'll probably start writing some other fanfics with these OC's. I've grown rather attached to them. I will see all yous later! PEACE OUT!
