Hi everyone,

Sorry for being on a very long hiatus but I'm here to say due to some changes in circumstances I can't commit to writing fanfics anymore. :(

This story will regretfully be discontinued, even though from the start I had everything including the ending all planned out. I'm very sorry, especially since chap 10 didn't seem to be very well received as compared to previous chapters and I still have to leave this story at that point.

I'll tell you all what I had in mind, and it's not a happy ending.

It was going to be a 12-14 chapters story, and from chap 11 somehow Chrome/Nagi will get kidnapped by the army and held captive back at the castle, tortured and waiting for the Queen to execute her.

Hibari and the seven dwarves found out, fuming with rage and panicking to carry out a rescue operation, arguing about things like "How are we gonna sneak into the castle?" etc. Hibari, however, upon hearing such a discussion, was gonna say something cool like "Who said we're sneaking in? We're gonna WALK IN THROUGH THE FRONT DOOR". And they did that, banging down n making their big grand entrance through the front gate, fighting and killing enemies the moment they intruded.

But like any war, it turned ugly. Tsuna and co. (the dwarves) inevitably suffered harm, separated and forced to fight different enemies. Somehow, Lambo found the princess, with Nagi crying that they shouldn't have come etc and crying even more when she saw Lambo, the youngest among all of them, being harmed badly by enemies who fought him to prevent him from rescuing the princess. But Lambo (and actually all the other dwarves), showed his true prowess. There's gonna be a lot of blood and gore in this particular scene, because Lambo was gonna unleash his deadly Lightning box weapon and electrocute all the soldiers to a very gruesome extent; electrocuted them inside out such that their bodies exploded entirely into lumps and bits of flesh and a burst of overwhelming blood, splashing all over even onto the extremely speechless and shocked Nagi who watched the whole scene of violence executed by the little Lightning child.

Somehow, Lambo paved a way for Nagi to escape and she found Hibari. But no time to be romantic, for they were soon found by Martin (Nagi's big brother in this story). They put up a tough fight with box weapons, tonfas, black magic, archery, flames etc. Martin was eventually knocked out, and as Hibari and Nagi were trying to catch their breadth, Nagi looked at the motionless body of her brother. A little dazed and shaking with agitation, she picked up a heavy object (I still didn't decide what it would be.. but probably like a vase or trophy or rock) and kneeled beside Martin, raising the object high and ready to hit him dead. Tears welled up as she remembered all the horrible things he did to their mother, to her, to the villagers, to Yuni... and she could hardly control the anger that made her want to kill him...

But at the same time, memories of her and him playing together when they were young, in the garden, in the castle rooms...made her heart swell in pain. Hibari watched her cry and struggle with her emotions; even that tiny amount of love from her brother she had felt back when they were young and happy disabled her from taking revenge. So she dropped the heavy object, but suddenly...

The Queen entered and saw the scene of the defeated Martin and the escaped Nagi. Chaos ensued again as the angry Queen fought them but she also eventually faltered, as Hibari gave her no mercy at all. Both sides hurt, but Hibari still able to stand, until...

The Queen gave a final shot of a lethal ray of dark magic through Hibari, causing a fatal hole in his stomach. As she ran off weakly with blood dripping (not caring about killing anymore but just wanting to survive and well, beautify herself again), Hibari was dying, lying on the floor and barely hanging on and Nagi was crying by his side.

Then a phenomenon happened. The spirit of the magic mirror came out towards Nagi and Hibari. He offered Nagi a deal; he could help Hibari survive if she was willing to exchange her life for him. Nagi, emotionally wrecked of course, did not think much even as Hibari painfully tried to object and struggled to get her to listen to him and cursed at the spirit for such a terrible deal. Nagi stood up and approached the spirit, who passed to her an innocent looking apple. But the spirit told her straight out it's poisoned but Nagi did not hesitate with the strong belief that Hibari could survive. Hibari was barely breathing and could not protest anymore but watched with desperation as Nagi ate the apple.

Then she choked, hyperventilated and vomited. The spirit urged her to VOMIT INTO HIBARI'S WOUND. And so she did, Hibari wincing at the disgusting and painful feeling of her vomit into his stomach hole. But soon after, the hole began to seal up and Hibari felt suddenly refreshed.

Nagi, however, dropped dead.

But with tears and a sweet smile of joy as she looked at her lover alive and up again.

Thousands killed, and the castle was in ruins. Everyone also heard of the princess's death. Rebellion occurred, including the Namimori villagers. Castle personnel became helpless and defenseless; many were beaten up, stoned or dragged to other execution grounds. This included Martin. The Queen was killed in a different way; angry people, especially women, tore her clothes, damaged other luxurious things and threw dirty things at her as she screamed about her ruined beauty while she was tied up. Then like the original story of Snow White, the Queen was forced into hot iron shoes and danced to her death.

Castle personnel who had not supported the Queen were spared and they were ordered to protect the princess's death chamber that preserved her body. Mourning for her continued. But one day, Hibari sneaked into the chamber and locked out the guards. He took some time to contemplate as he stood by the glass coffin that displayed her entire beautiful body. Nagi looked peaceful, but Hibari was broken.

"Herbivore? Omnivore? I don't know..."

"But honestly, after I thought through it, I think it's okay now."

"Because those who suffer the most pain are the ones left behind, not those who die."

"I am somehow glad I'm in that position which would make you suffer less."

He removed the glass lid, and gave her a kiss.

Then he saw a tiara which was also preserved in a glass display. He took it out and placed it on Nagi's head.

"This belongs to you."

The story ends with Hibari causing more frantic as the guards found the princess gone, and while everyone is on a state of emergency again...

Hibari is at a much quieter corner of the land, carrying the princess in his arms as he walked away...

-THE END-

This was a rather open ending, what I planned 2 years ago, and I'm sorry I can't write it out properly. Thank you very much to everyone who had read and/or reviewed my stories. I may remove my account, so if you had liked my stories, you can read again while I take a while more to leave. Goodbye!
