BP: The final chapter of Pretty Little Lovers is finally here! I got my ending inspiration from once again, the story app called Epsiodes. So thank Episodes for getting me back into fanfiction. Do check out some of my new stories as well.

"We're here." Feitan said, as they arrived into their soon-to-be-former apartment complex. Ringo, who was next to the door at the backseat, opened the door, and tried to support Fuji out of the door on Pakunoda's instruction, only to fall, and she crashed into the ground, Fuji landing on top of her.

She winced in pain. "Ouch…." She groaned.

The others came rushing at her.

"Oh My God! Are you alright?" Pakunoda asked in concern, as Feitan took Fuji's unconscious body off from Ringo, and supported him himself.

"Yeah, I think so." Ringo said, getting up and dusting her clothes off. "I just didn't expect him to be that heavy."

"No one would expect you to support an athlete with your petite body, Ringo." Ryoma said, shrugging.

"You're right, though. He's heavy." Feitan commented, indicating Fuji. "How the hell does he stay unconscious after that crash is beyond me." That earned laughter from his friends.

"Alright, we're wasting time, let's go." Ryoma said, as he led the way back to their apartment.

The apartment looks exactly the same when they first moved in… completely empty, except for four old chairs that were there the first day they moved in. Feitan thought to store the chairs in the storeroom, in case if they ever need to use it. Good thing too, or else they would have nothing to tie those boys up against.

Feitan gently propped Fuji on the chair, and with Shizuka's help, he tied him against the chair. He placed a blindfold on his eyes, in case he wakes up before the other three arrives. He stretched his cricked neck, while Shizuka help massage his shoulders.

"Shalnark, do you think you can keep a lookout on the other three of our….guests?" Ryoma said the last word with a hint of malice in his voice.

"Sure, why not?" he went back down to the lift lobby to wait.

"I think I should go down too. God knows Shalnark needs help in subduing three of them." Feitan volunteered, standing up from one of the old chairs.

"I'll go too." Pakunoda said. "Three on three, the odds are even then."

"Pakunoda, are you strong enough to handle this?" Ringo asked.

Ryoma shook his head. "Ringo, don't be stupid. She was the one that broke me out and took on two of them that night in the first place. If there's any girl who can do this, it's Pakunoda." He gave Pakunoda a proud smile. Pakunoda grinned at Ringo after hearing Ryoma's compliment.

"Well, that's true." Ringo said.

"Alright, go keep a lookout for them, you three." Shizuka said. "We'll just watch Fuji here."

The three nodded, before leaving the apartment, heading to the lobby.

Looks like I'm winning. Thanks for leaving Fuji in there. Kisses -R

Atobe groaned, as he closed the message, and returned to the tracking app he has on his phone.

Watch me make a boy disappear. Kisses, -R

Fuji hasn't disappeared. They found his location….right?

"Please turn right after the traffic junction." He instructed the driver, trying to hide his uncertainty. The driver nodded.

"You found Fuji?" Tezuka asked Atobe.

"Yes, I tracked him to the same apartment complex Shizuka was living at. Wonder why R would take him there?" Atobe frowned.

Sanada shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe R lives near Shizuka. Either that, or Shizuka lied to you when she said she didn't know about R."

"It couldn't be! She was targeted as well. I saw the message. The date stated it was sent during the time we were bombarded with messages from R." Atobe shook his head.

Just then, a message was sent to Sanada.

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU AT OUR LITTLE GATHERING! Kisses, – R

"R's waiting for us. She's expecting us. Do you think it's another trick?" Sanada asked.

"Well, trick or not, we'd better get Fuji back. Who knows what R would do to him?" Tezuka asked. "Besides, we are united against this R thing." He fumbled with the message he got the moment Fuji was taken.

The most darling part was when you took the hairpin and went all James Bond to figure out who I was. But guess what, bastards? I've been a step ahead of you this whole time. I've known where you were. I've known where you were going. I call the shots, not you-in ways you can't even begin to imagine. But don't worry-you'll know who we are soon enough. Just go to the location your phone told you. —R

"We're here." Atobe said, and they got out of the car and towards the building, intending on looking for Fuji.

Meanwhile, Shalnark, Feitan and Pakunoda were on the alert the moment a black limousine pulled into the parking lot. They knew the other three had arrived, seeing as there's no one else around here who would ride in a limo.

"Everyone, hide. Once they approach the lift, we subdue them. Knock them out if you have to." Shalnark said.

"I'd say we knock them out. Subduing them will only lead them to put up a fight. It'll be a lot less hassle knocking them out, and bringing them in." Feitan said.

"Feitan's right." Pakunoda added. "We're better off knocking them out."

"Alright, change of plans then." Shalnark replied. "We just knock them out once they reach the lobby from behind."

The three nodded, and watched as the three of them got out of the car.

As they reached the lift lobby, they received a picture of an eye test screen

(A/N: I translated to "Can you see me yet?")

The picture was the last thing they saw before all went black.

Meanwhile, Fuji opened his eyes. All he saw was darkness. He tried to move, but he couldn't. It looks like he's been tied up, in a sitting position, since his legs doesn't feel tired. He's probably tied to a chair.

"W-What's going on?" He coughed.

"Hey, he's awake." said a familiar voice. It sounded like a girl.

"Took him long enough." Another girl replied. She also sounded recognizable, but he couldn't quite put a name or face to either of the voices.

A door opened, and closed.

"Hey, we got them." A boy said.

"They were pretty heavy, though." said another boy.

"What's going on?" Fuji shouted. "Where am I? Who are you?"

"Hold your horses, Fuji." said a girl. "We'll get your blindfold off as soon as we get the other three secured."

He heard someone going into the kitchen, and splashing sound, and spluttering.

After what seemed like a century, the blindfold is removed.

Fuji looked in horror to see his lovers tied up, and their captors were Shalnark, Shizuka, Pakunoda, Ringo, Feitan and finally Black Coat.

"You!" Fuji shouted, pointing at Feitan. "You were the one that broke Ryoma out of our mansion and killed him!"

"Shizuka? You were in this too?' Atobe said, surprised.

"I was ever since you cheated on me." She spat, as she let Feitan wrap his arm around her. "But I've got Feitan now." Feitan smiled at her.

"Anyway, we'll let the mastermind explain his objective, shall we?" he asked, nodding towards Black Coat.

Ryoma walked forward, and removed his hood, revealing his identity.

"RYOMA?" The four friends looked at him with shock.

"Echizen." He corrected them coldly. "You see, my objective is simple: Revenge."

"But…" Fuji started, but Ryoma glared at him, cutting him off.

"I knew that of course, you didn't feel anything when I left, believing that I would return and as long as you confined me, you knew my presence, which you took for granted, would always be there. You even tried to fight Paku and Feitan to make sure I don't leave with them, trying to ensure I stay loyal. The next day, you reported that I was missing. That's when I knew I needed to teach you guys a lesson- by breaking you slowly." Ryoma explained.

Seeing the looks of shock on their faces, Ryoma smirked. "Before you guys neglected me, you guys entrusted me with your deepest and darkest secrets. I knew I could use that to my advantage. With help of my friends, I made sure to throw you off track while we ruin your life and relationships. Pretty hypocritical of you guys, seeing you expect me to stay true, while you guys see other people behind one another's backs."

"I was the one who broke you and Shizuka up, Atobe." Ryoma taunted Atobe, who turned red with fury.

"Good thing too, if not I'll be dating a cheater, and I would never have been with Feitan." Shizuka said, cutting whatever Atobe wanted to say to Ryoma.

Ryoma smiled at her, before turning back to his former lovers. "Now, where was I? Oh yeah, thus, I decided to break you guys up, to let YOU feel the pain I've went through while being with you."

"Echizen, we…" Tezuka started to say but he held up a hand.

"Save your excuses." Ryoma said. "The boy that Fuji constantly bumped into at school, was actually me. I was wearing a disguise at that time, under an alias."

"You were close to finding us out, when Ringo dropped her pin. At first we didn't want it, but somebody kept whining about the loss, we had to get it back. We took advantage of this to sic more fear into you. It surprisingly worked." Ryoma went on.

"And now, we took Fuji, and knew you three would follow him, and made sure you knew the consequences to your actions." Ryoma concluded, folding his arms.

The four of them looked down, as they couldn't even meet his eyes that showed hatred and revenge towards them. They knew they had deserved this, all this, for what they have done to Ryoma.

"It's too late for redemption." Feitan said. "You really think he's a puppy or something expecting him to be loyal to you after what you did?"

"Yeah, don't think he can't think for himself like a housewife during the medieval times!" Pakunoda added. "I can't believe you really expected Ryoma to stay like a good little housewife."

"And I can't believe you left him out and cheated on him with me!" Shizuka cried.

"Really, I may not be the smartest, but what you did deserves some punishment." Ringo said.

"As she said, so I helped change their messages to keep you off guard with us." Shalnark said, laughing. "It's pretty easy to trick you guys, really."

"You were half-right, when you thought R was female. But what you didn't know is R is more than one person." Ryoma concluded. "If you are wondering where you are, you are at our former apartment."

"Former?" Sanada said, noting the word.

"Yes, we're leaving today. Our flight's in 4 hours." Shalnark said. "As a farewell gift, we'd thought we'd tell you why you guys are going through this."

The four lovers looked at Ryoma, stunned. So he's leaving today? Never going to return to them?

As if he had read their minds, Ryoma spoke up. "Well, of course not. You really expect me to return to where you are? To forgive you?"

The boys wanted to say yes, but kept silent, for fear of agitating him.

"Not a chance. I'm going to forge a new life for myself with all my friends." He turned away from them

"Don't you dare follow him, or I'll make sure the whole world knows what you have done." Shalnark threatened.

"Ryoma, we're sorry, we…" Fuji started, but Ryoma held up a hand.

"Save it. I don't want to hear anything from you four. Goodbye, cheaters." He spat the last word out, before stalking out of the apartment door.

One by one, the friends began to leave too. Before Feitan left, he tossed a sharp rock at Fuji's feet. "Here, use this to untie yourself." He then hurried out, closing the door behind him.

To them, the slam seemed like a finality, like Ryoma was shutting them out of his lives. They knew they had deserved this.

YOU'RE TOO LATE – R

Ryoma closed the car door once he got inside, and Feitan drove off.

He looked at the peaceful clouds floating in the sky.

'Japan looks peaceful.' He thought. 'I'm glad to go, but I might miss this place.'

And off they went, to their new lives.

Once upon a time, there was a boy. He was starving for love, care and attention from his lovers as they slowly but surely started to neglect him. Even if he wanted to leave, the lovers made sure he stayed and remained loyal by confining him.

It succeeded until he sneakily called two friends for help. They helped get him out of that prison, back to all his friends. They formed the organization R, and using their deepest and darkest secrets as weapons, they managed to ruin the lovers, and break them up, as revenge.

A chance of a new life came when he got accepted to college, and he knew he had to end the game.

As he got ready for a new start, he knew as long as he has his friends around, he will be just fine.

BP: The end! Thank you to those who reviewed, favourite, or followed this story! I know, the ending's a bit…lame, but I wanted it to end with Ryoma leaving for America to start his new life, and it's the best I could come up with. I only had 20 minutes, but wasted half thinking on how to end it…oh well. Do review though!

Look out for my new stories!
