A/N: Hello everyone. I am very sad to say this…But this is the last chapter. I have very much enjoyed writing this story, and I am so happy that my readers have liked it too. The quotes were all just to make this story more cute, and sweet. I am glad you liked them. My next story, The Ugly Fox, has not yet been started. I'm not sure when it will be up, but I really hope to see you there.
Now…Let's get on with the chapter!
They Still Rule
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O. o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
That day Sasuke and Naruto had hugged each other tightly. They cried, as he hugged while all the kids danced around cheering. They were so happy! King Nox wouldn't be sad now! Queen Diem was back! This was a really happy day for everyone. They finally pulled from the hug, and smiled brightly.
Time went on from then. They got older, and went on to do their own thing. Naruto made sure to keep the others in the loop of what was happening at the play area.
They called it The Kingdom now. Sasuke and he had married and were currently hoping for children of their own. Sasuke became a powerful lawyer, Naruto was a teacher.
Hinata and Neji ran a library, while Shikamaru helped Choji run a diner. Ino ran her family flower shop, while Sakura became a top notch doctor.
Kiba took over his family's breeding and vet clinic. Gaara was the most shocking. He became a councilor. Kids went to him when ever they had troubles, because would always understand and just let them talk.
Though they were no longer the Kings and Queens of The Kingdom, they were still sought out for help if it was really needed. They made sure The Kingdom was always up and running.
New things were added each year to keep things fun, and safe. All of the kids who came to The Kingdom, knew that they were the ones to go too if you ever needed help. Whether it be for pretend or real, they were always there to help.
Queen Diem was there to be their light. Their guide when they were going through dark times. He could make them laugh when they were down.
They would just go to him, when they really needed a light to guide them. He is that light, the one who would show them the path to staying with the light. Never would he allow them to stay cloaked in darkness.
King Nox was there to be their Helper. He was the one they went to when they wanted to help their friends. Anything that needed to be done, they went to him for it.
They would usually request help in getting funding for their schools, or getting sent away from their friends. Sometimes he would be asked if he could help a family go on vacation. He was always there to help.
Queen Flowers was there if they need love help. She would provide flowers for the ones who had crushes. They would go to her if they needed advice.
She would listen to them talk about their love lives, and provide advice if she could. Many of the girls went to her to learn what flowers meant when boys would give them to them. She would even provide flowers if they were needed for anything else, as long as the kids asked.
King Lazy was the one you went too for school. As crazy as it sounds, he helped them with school work. If they fell behind, you would get an ear full from him.
He made sure that those who came to him for help did the work. They knew well, that if you didn't put some form of effort into it, he would not help. The kids would all go to him especially when they had trouble with a subject.
Queen Bubblegum was the one they went to for medical help. If one of them got hurt, it was her they went too. She would bandage them up with out asking too many questions.
Unless it was something major like a broken bone or large gash. Usually they just went to her with scraps and small cuts. It was rare they went to her for a broken bone because they were stupid enough to climb one of the huge trees.
Once she had a near drowning case come to her, because one of the kids pushed another who couldn't swim into the river. The bigger kids kept their eyes on the younger ones like hawks after that. No one wanted to deal with her wrath.
King Chef was the one you went too for snacks. He always provided snacks, and food for the kids that came to his diner. Sometimes he would bring it to The Kingdom himself. Never would he allowed them to go hungry.
If he saw one of the children not eating, he would sit with them, and coax them to eat. Usually they ate when he offered the food, even if they couldn't pay for it. He never charged the kids, knowing it was his way of providing for them, and The Kingdom.
Queen Sweetness was the one they went too when they just needed a hug. Someone to tell them it would all be okay. She was there to give you hugs, and make you feel better when you cried. They went to her when they were bullied.
That was something she would not stand for. One of them bullying the others. She had seen what it could do to people. It hurt her, when kids would come to her crying. Sure they had parents, they didn't understand how The Kingdom worked. There were secrets, and rules to follow. She understood, and would help them stand up for themselves.
King K9 was the one that would help the animals. Whether it was a family pet or a wild animal. They knew he would not forgive those for hurt others, or animals on purpose. He would let them come to him, day or night, when it came to animals.
They would also come to him if they wanted a pet. Usually a puppy since he would breed mainly dogs. He made it clear to them, he would not let them have an animal if their parents said no, or if they wouldn't take care of it.
King Yasu was the one that was the peace keeper. He was the one who would mediate in fights and arguments. They went to him, because he always kept a level head. Any choice he made, was always fair and well thought out. If a fight broke out, he would stop it and make them talk it out. He was the one who would decide who was right, and who was wrong.
Helping with fights was not the only thing he did, he always decided punishments. If you broke any of the rules of The Kingdom you were punished. Usually it wasn't harsh, but something fair enough for them understand they shouldn't do it again.
Finally, King Sand was the one they went too when they wanted someone to just listen. Anything you had to say, he would listen. If they ever needed advice he would provide it, but only if they asked. Usually he just sat there and listened to them. It was his way.
He was quiet, and a good listener. They would just sit with him and talk about anything and everything. Sometimes they wouldn't talk at all, and would just sit there enjoying the company. He was there if they just needed someone to be there. To listen to them, or to make them not feel so alone.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O. o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o.O.o
Though they were not the Kings and Queens of The Kingdom anymore. They were still sought for help, and such. They would do anything they could to provide for The Kingdom and those who played there. It was there legacy. Their hopes and dreams were there.
Anything they could do to help, they did it. They did all they could to be there for the kids who were in The Kingdom now. Even as the years went by, and kids came and went. No one forgot them. They were the first, the ones who knew it all. Forever, they were respected.
Each one of them left something behind, for them all to remember. A quote from each of them that was placed on a plaque for all to see.
(1)King Diem: It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
(2)King Nox: The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart.
(3)Queen Sweetness: Believe you can and you're halfway there.
(4)King K9: I arise full of eagerness and energy, knowing well what achievement lies ahead of me.
(5)Queen Flowers: Keep all special thoughts and memories for lifetimes to come. Share these keepsakes with others to inspire hope and build from the past, which can bridge to the future.
(6)King Yasu: You are always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different path.
(7)Queen Bubblegum: Don't let the fear of striking out hold you back.
(8)King Lazy: Your present circumstances don't determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start.
(9)King Chef: Try to be like the turtle - at ease in your own shell.
(10)King Sand: Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.
Together they had but one thing to say about The Kingdom. It was on the sign that was above the gate that protected it. This is what it said. Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.(11)
