There's been a lot of bullying cases. And after reading so much character bashing, it makes me wonder what would happen to these characters if they heard the things they're called. Ikuto might blow it off, there's barely any Amu bash, but I was scared that if Tadase was real, he would have committed suicide so long ago. He's still a kid, insults like that could hurt a kid. So I made this filled with sadness. It was originally a bad ending, but listening to my ipod while I worked made me want a happy ending. So it's a nice ending.

~Why~
He had tried so hard to ignore it. He had tried so hard to run from it. He had finally succumbed to it.
"Why?" The character asked his makers, "Why did you create me? To see me suffer from this hatred?"
His makers couldn't come up with an answer. Even they were baffled by the immense hate their creation was facing by the fans. What had they done wrong?
~Hate~
The character struggled. The fans wanted him dead. They hated him. They spat such crude names at him. And the people who supported him weren't helping either. Their own hatred for his friend hurt him more.
The character and the other creation, who was created as his rival, hated it. Why did he and the girl have to watch as the character was eaten alive by the flames of hatred?
~Vow~
The blue-haired character walked up to the girl character. A new hope in his heart as he told her his vow. "I will no longer watch. I will no longer watch as our friend's mind shatters. No more," The character buried his face in his palms. "No longer do I want to see him so broken. I want to see his smile again."
The girl nodded. "If you save him, let's all go eat taiyaki again. Like we used to, before all these bad things happened."
He smiled, "Not "if", Hinamori. Will."
~Will~
The acid stabbed at his heart. His head felt like lead. Why was he still alive? He fell to the ground. "Death, can you hear me?" His eyelids sank, "can you take away the pain? If you can, he reached an arm out, I'll do whatever you-"
"Tadase!"
The drawings eyes shot open. That voice? So nice, it couldn't be death.
"Ikuto?"
"Don't leave us, Kiddy King."
The drawing lifted his head. Through his bangs he could see it, the familiar silhouette. Death's shadow leered closer.
The drawing began to chuckle, the chuckle evolved into a fit of laughter. Something he hadn't done in a long time. "Of course! How silly of me!" He brushed his bangs out of his face, "my friends," he slashed at death, "are the reason I'm still here! The reason I exist!"
The drawing reached his hand out to the other as he came closer. "My friends are my will to live."
~Thank You~
The drawing was greeted with a kiss to the lips as the other character's hands intertwined with his. "I did it." The blue-haired character said.
The character patted his head, "Yeah, you did. Thank you for being born."
They gathered themselves up as they embarked back to their friend.
~Love~
The girl character's eyes filled to the brim as she saw the two of them walking hand in hand."Your back!" She ran towards the two, tackling the red-eyed character and kissing his lips before doing the exact same to the other.
This was their love. A platonic, true, sibling love. The three were made for each other. No one could ever change that.
~Existence~
It was a bond unlike any other. A chained bond so strong, not even the sharpest sword or strongest element could break it. It was also a story unlike any other. No one was broken, no one was the villain, no one was chosen. The girl, the cat, and the king. They smiled upon the beautiful drawn world, hand in hand. They shut their eyes closed, "Your existence makes me whole."
