Garu stared down at her lifeless body, and he felt guilty for not returning her feelings before it was too late. Now she was gone.

Another strong bolt of lightning crashed, and it began to rain. Garu set down his soon-to-be-ex girlfriend, and pulled himself to his feet. The lightning struck again, and his ponytails came undone, letting his long hair fall down and cover his face.

Tobe regained his consciousness and grabbed his sword. He knew this was going to be a harsh battle.

Garu pushed his hair back, revealing his face. "You."

"Yes, me. Tobe smiled mischievously.

"You monster!! Look what you've done!"

"I know. And I am very proud of my self for it."

"You've hurt me many times before; physically and emotionally. You've humiliated me. But this time, you've gone WAY too far! This is nothing to be proud of!"

"Maybe not for you, but as for me, Im just glad to be one step closer to destroying your life. MWAHAHAHA!"
As Tobe became so distracted by his glory, Garu pulled out his sword and stabbed him right in the gut.

Tobe screamed. "You.. wont.. get away.. with this" he caught his breath, took his sword from under the tree, and began to fight. But this time, he couldnt match the force of Garus anger.
As the fight went on, Pucca slowly became conscious again, and she watched Garu and Tobe battle to the death. She was still too weak to even sit up, let alone fight an evil ninja, but she didnt have to. She had faith in Garu.

Swords clashed. Lightning struck. A storm was moving in. A bad one.

"I dont care how strong you are Garu!" Tobe swung his sword at Garus face, then his chest, both of which Garu rapidly blocked. "You are no match for my power!" Tobe stabbed his sword into the ground, forming a large, ongoing crack, and the ground began to burst under Garus feet. Luckily, he was able to dodge it.

Garu paused. He closed his eyes, and he held his hands up to the heart on his chest, and stood perfectly silent.

"Whats this? Is the little baby ninja giving up? Ha! I knew you could never face me, but now youll have to face the humiliation of your defeat. Mwahaha! Mwahahaha!"

All of a sudden, strong winds began to blow, and Garu began to slowly rise into the air. He looked up, and he began to glow. Winds swirled around him, and light beams began to emerge from his body. He let out a raging scream, and there was a big, fiery explosion.

Once the smoke clouds were clear, Tobe was lying helplessly on the ground, and Garu came down firmly on his feet.

"Ohh.." Tobe rubbed his head. "You.. you may have won this time, but well meet again" He jumped back onto his feet, and used a smoke bomb to escape.

"Im sure of it." Garu smiled to himself, but his smile became crooked when he realized that Pucca was still gone. He was really going to miss her.

Pucca slowly came to her feet, and walked toward Garu, who was peacefully mourning for her. She went behind him and tapped him on the shoulder.

Garu jumped, and when he figured Tobe wasnt finished with his business, he went into attack mode, but he calmed when he realized it was Pucca. Alive and breathing. Chills went through his body. "Pucca, youre..youre"
"..Alive. I know. I couldnt believe it either." She grabbed his arm and softly kissed him on the lips. He felt his face burning up, with anxiety, and joy. When she let go of him, she lost her balance and fell right into his arms.

"Come on, lets get you home." He held her gently in his arms, and carried her all the way back.

The next day, Pucca and Garu went to visit Master Soo once again. Hopefully, this time, the results would be much better.

Master Soos fingers clicked on the buttons. Garus heart raced. Whats gonna happen?

Finally, the screen became clear. It flashed to a scene in the hospital.

"Oh no," Pucca watched the screen, "it looks like Im going to end up getting myself killed again."
Their faces saddened, and Garu wrapped his arms around Pucca to comfort her. Even Master Soo began to sob. The maidens gathered around him and began to sob with him.

But suddenly, it switched over to a hospital room with a beautiful, long haired woman and a semi-long haired man standing next to her. This woman was in a hospital bed, and she was going into labor.

"Wait, Im not dying, Im.. Im Im giving birth!"

Everybody in the room gasped, and they gathered around the screen. They watched as she pushed, and pushed, until the labor was finally over, and they had a new addition to their family. A daughter.

"Wow, Garu, this is amazing! Were going to be together in the future! And were going to start a family together! This is so exciting! Oh Garu, I- Garu?"

Garu stared at the screen. He smiled. "Yeah. Weve got a bright future ahead of us. Wow. Heh.." his face turned the same ghostly white as it did the last time he came to see Master Soo, and, once again, he fainted.

The End.
