Hello Everyone, I am sad, yet partially releived, to announce that this is the official end to Life After. Although I'm not fond of happy endings, I think that you all will be fairly pleased, even with it as short as it is.

I do not own Tsubasa. If I did Kurogane and Fai's fights would be so much cuter!

R&R Please.

Epilogue

It rained the next day. The warrior and the mage washed in the rainwater that they collected once they had gotten out of bed. It was tempting to stay under the blankets until nightfall, but eventually the rain began to fall sideways with the wind, blowing in through the still open back door. This time, Fai tried to properly clean the wound on Kurogane's neck, the ninja nipping at his ear, trying to break his focus. He didn't let himself get distracted, but did allow a small sigh to escape, once the warrior was patched up, tea was made. It was the perfect solution to the chill that had swept through the usually warm spring air. The mage sat at the table, which had been returned to its natural place, sipping the tasteless liquid with closed eyes. The ninja sat next to him, their shoulders touching lightly. The mage handed him the tea, not thirsty for tea or anything else for that matter. For once he craved nothing, not even forgiveness. He was, in a word, content. The warrior was holding him up. That was all he needed. At least, until the rain stopped.

Hope everyone enjoyed Life After! I'm taking any story requests, preferably yaoi/shonen ai, for just about any manga/anime if anyone is interested (please, I have no other purpose in life... sob sob)

Thanks to all of my loyal readers, I appreciate and love you all!

Until next time,

Rose.
