Authors Notes:To date this will be my first ever Fanfiction and choosing this one over all my other favorites is odd. For I could've chosen Naruto, FairyTail or even One Piece and written some snazzy love story there but no, I chose to write about Sankarea/Undying Love.

I just feel that I should help this story on and help put at least myself at ease knowing there's some form of a continuation. So today; I put aside my tardy humor and join some the greatest artists in the world, The Fanfiction Writers. Those who feel the urge; not only others; but the "Authors" themselves, to reconsider how to not only their stories, but the way you see the world and how you use the information you learn, whom you share these indescribable things we see when we read the remix of the original hit Anime we all know and love. Who you choose to not only write a story about, but who you choose to share the rest of your eternal story with.Now enough of this sentimentality, I hope I tickled your fancy for this story. This story will be set after episode 12, quite a few later months after episode 12 actually, but of course based off the anime and the main focus will be on Rea and Chihiro.I do not own Sankarea. But I do wish to share what may be an ending that only tells you that this is only the beginning of the next chapter of the story to come, even if it is me to tell it.

Prologue:

It was in the late hours of the night. Dawn was a mere hours away. All should be pleasantly asleep at this hour, having dreams with no worries, for dreams were supposed to be the only place where worries and stress could not follow you.

But that was not the case for one occupant of the night.

In the temple that the Furuya family resided in, where many strange things have occurred; lived one Chihiro Furuya. For he was the restless spirit that found no rest in the peace of the moonlight; that illuminated his room.

Many would think the life of a teenager is free of all forms of worries, but nothing could be further from the truth. Chihiro was currently in deep thought, which was becoming a regular exercise for the nearly 17 year old young man. His current dilemma was one that has occupied every corner of his being for the last few months. (One could argue that he is an insomniac.)

All set in motion, when his beloved pet cat Babu was cut down in his prime by a speeding vehicle, compelled to have his beloved "buddy" back. Chihiro set his mind and attention to bringing his cat back to life. Using an ancient tome which was apparently written by his deranged grandfather, tried to create the potion of reanimation but was stuck at one last ingredient. While attempting to revive his deceased furry friend at an abandoned hotel, he encountered a beautiful young woman named Rea Sanka.

Rea was the school beauty at the school opposite to Chihiro's; who at first assumed that she was a pampered princess with no worries, but she harbored a terrible secret that had not only eaten away at her ever since she was little but had swallowed her whole and stolen her freedom to live the way she wanted.

Over the cause of two days Chihiro and Rea had become friends. In those days Chihiro had fruitless luck with reviving Babu and was ready to give up when Rea tried to convince Chihiro otherwise and left to go get a plant she believed might be the key.

Though it didn't seem to work and Chihiro gave up. They planned to meet up again to rebury Babu but Rea's life just seem to go from bad to worse and was about to make Chihiro's life a nightmare.

In her journey to warn Chihiro of the danger she unwillingly put him in, she came at crossroad between her freedom and her nightmare. It was nearly impossible for her not to find herself confined in her current nightmare for the rest of her life. Even against those odds, Rea fought for her dream of possible freedom, and though it was brave; it had the gravest consequences.

In that sudden moment of bravery, she met her untimely death. But with the end of her life, a new chapter rose from the sight of her death. For she was right when she brought Chihiro the plant he used in his last attempt in bringing Babu back to life.

They used the hydrangea plant in their last batch and though it didn't work immediately, Babu awoke as a zombie cat that night. Thinking it didn't work, Rea stole a bit of the potion in hopes that the poisonous hydrangea in it was enough to die, but she awoke the next day no different. Completely unaware that on that day she would die and arise as a zombie girl.

Since then, many things have happened, but though many of both Rae and Chihiro's problems have been resolved and things seem just fine.

Even now, Rae lay fast asleep in bed, something she hasn't done in months being a zombie that didn't need to rest. Yet Rea now was fast asleep while Chihiro watched her, while the moonlight made her look like a heavenly undead beauty, at least in Chihiro's eyes.

Ever since Rea became a zombie, its' been nothing but one terrifying drama scene after the next, even on Horror/Zombie-Girl Loving Chihiro' standards. (And those standards are high, mind you.)

Chihiro simply gazed at Rea's sleeping form which in itself was beyond a rare sight. All the while wandering how he simply went from resurrecting his cat to having to share his room with a zombie girl.

Though that information was a not so well guarded secret with how many close calls and incidents that was beyond nerve racking for the usually lazy teenager.

But threw those hardships, Rea Sanka and Chihiro Furuya had become the best of friends and something a little more, but what more was still a mystery for both teens. Thinking back now, Chihiro would never have thought his fantasy would come so close to reality.

Shaking those thoughts from his mind, he returned to the matter 'or zombie in this case' at hand.

To say Chihiro was only generally worried was to say he only finds himself in a headlock occasionally; he was freaked out of his head and for good reason.

Ever since Rea had come into his life, he had shared many good memories with her; they even share a room with the occasional laugh and tender yet awkward moments. More than the moments he reluctantly shared with Ranko, if that's even possible.

Turning back to Rea's sleeping form only to see pale moonlight bringing another high tide of fantasy thoughts that would most certainly distract him from his pondering. Prepared, for once, imagined Mero simply gazing at him the way she does when she's actually trying to pry for information. That easily did the trick.

Chihiro's face suddenly straightened and adopted a very serious look that would rival his sisters'.

He looked to his notebook that has become his only output for his worries. Ever since he first wrote in it to his latest page; the riddled topic that was currently haunting his thoughts which he decided to voice out loud for the first, while using extreme caution so Babu wouldn't know either. "How am I going to preserve Rea's body?"

Chihiro suddenly looked to the sleeping Rea with a determined fire in his eyes and used the same tone he just used. "I have to find a way; you just got a new life and your freedom only for it to slowly start fading like your body." Feeling like it would be his fault because he's the one who made her a zombie. But this time he wouldn't apologize. "I will save you, so you can experience what it's like to live a full life, even if it isn't a normal one."
