What Are You Waiting For

Disclaimer: I don't own Crescent Moon.

Last time on What Are You Waiting For: "So…feeling better Mahiru?"

I don't think she trusted her ability to talk so she just nodded her head enthusiastically.

"Good. I'm going to go now, seeing as how you're alright and all. I'll come over tomorrow okay?"

Another nod and I was out of there.

A/N: This is it party people! What we've all been waiting for (Hey! It's the story title! Hehehe), the finale! The curtain call! The final bow! The -gets slapped- Heh, I'll leave it there. Also, did anyone get the reference to Gabe in the previous chapter? There's another reference in here if you missed it. Enjoy!

Epilogue: Happily Ever After

I would like to say that the princess had found her demon, who later personally confessed his undying love and devotion for her, and when they were both of legal age he proposed in the most romantic way possible, and they went off to live in a cute little house with a white picket fence and had two point five kids (what does that mean anyways?).

Actually, I wouldn't like to say that because all that mushy love crap makes me want to vomit.

And this isn't a chessy romance novel and none of that happened. Thank goodness.

Well, it sort of did. But on a much lesser degree of love goop.

In reality, Mahiru had fallen back to sleep after talking with the other three demons about her condition. She woke up practically a day later to find Mitsuru keeping watch over his flock by night – I mean, uncomfortably sleeping in the chair next to her bed.

(Stupid Catholic school, they drill those Bible verses into your skull until you say them without even realizing it)

As I was saying…

Mahiru woke up the grumpy tengu who was mumbling something about Hi Ho Cherry-O (I really don't want to know). Both blushed upon eye contact and took a few minutes for them to compose themselves. Then came the BIG moment. Doing the whole 'I love you' confession thing.

And man, it was hilarious watching them try to start THAT conversation!

Eventually I got bored and wanted to just do things my way and force them to say it. But I couldn't do that because there's this rule that says in order for the Good Samaritan to count, both parties have to admit their feelings out of their own recognition.

Stupid free will.

But thank goodness for the Rules of Influence.

So I (literally) got into Mitsuru's head and started yelling at him to just get it over with! Of course, he just yelled at me to 'shut the hell up' and claimed that he was just about to do so until I entered his thoughts.

Yeah…riiight.

At one point, I had the most wonderful (rolls eyes) idea to start singing the "Kiss the Girl" song from The Little Mermaid (But not that screwed up No Secrets version on the Disney Mania album. Who was the moron that thought of that idea anyway?). I decided not to since I sound absolutely nothing like Sebastian and I don't have a personal band consisting of fish, birds, and other various sea critters. Plus, my singing would probably make anyone in hearing range deaf.

Finally the two got it out of their systems and were two centimeters from their first official lip lock when guess who decided to 'check up' on Mahiru at the exact moment?

None other then my all-time favorite vampire, Nozomu.

Remember what I said before about staking him?

Well that feeling was back ten fold and I wished I'd been their physically and not just in spirit.

Because, you see, even though I'd told Mahiru I'd visit her today, I couldn't.

There's this other rule that states that at the end of our absolute final Good Samaritan, we are to stay in the Soul Mates Inc. building until Gabe calls us to God's dubbed office. Then we're told whether we succeeded or failed and what'll happen to us. As in, if we have to do more assignments or if we're going to Heaven.

And I succeeded! I actually did something right for once!

So as much as I wanted to murder vamp boy in cold blood (or would it be dust?), my want to NOT go through another ten years of good deeds was a hell lot greater.

But before I went off to paradise, I kept my promise and visited Mahiru just like I did Mitsuru; through her thoughts.

¡Buenos días Mahiru! Espero que tú durmiera bien.

Uh, Rozalia, I don't understand Spanish. Remember?

I know. I just felt like speaking it. Translation: Morning Mahiru! Hope you slept well.

I did, thanks. But I have a question, why aren't you here?

Long story. The abridged version is that there're rules that don't allow me to visit you guys after I complete an assignment. And I'm not even allowed to be talking to you now, so I'm risking a lot to warn you two.

Rozalia, you shouldn't be doing – Wait, warn us? About what?

Well, it's not exactly a warning, more like a notice. When you wake up tomorrow, you won't remember any of this.

I could practically feel the waves of confusion and sadness that were coming off of her.

What? Forget?

Well, you'll forget anything that involves me. Like for your Disney date, you'll remember it as if you had won the tickets and dragged Mitsuru along with you. Crap like that.

Oh. That's good.

And now I could feel her relief.

'Good'! How is forgetting about me a good thing? I feel insulted!

Sorry, I didn't mean it that way.

I know, I was just yanking your chain. Well, I gotta go. Be sure to tell Mitsuru about the whole forgetting thing. I forgot to do it myself when I was screaming at him to just grab you by the shoulders and make out.

I could so imagine how Mahiru's face looks like right now. Pure red.

Uh, um, I will. See you, Rozalia. It was a pleasure –

And an annoyance!

– meeting you. Goodbye.

Later kid. Take good care of Airhead (get it? Hehe)! He's crazy about you!

Then I officially disconnected my link to Mahiru Shiraishi and Mitsuru Suou.

And since there's absolutely no way for the two lovebirds to know this, I'll say it:

I'm actually going to miss them.

Man, that was A LOT harder then admitting to my shrink that I had a problem(s).

Well, this is Rozalia signing off! Remember kids, don't murder anyone unless you want to end up in the body of a freakin' five-year-old for ten years while trying to get people together with their dubbed soul mates. And if you already have, sucks for you!

Don't do drugs!

A/N: THE END! FINIS! It's finally done! I want to thank everyone who's stayed with this story and extra thanks to all who've reviewed! Hugs and kisses! And don't forget to review! Ciao!

"Listen up, I built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was swamp. All the kings said I was daft to build a castle in a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, than sank into the swamp! But the fourth one stayed up!"
