PLEASE READ THIS NEW NOTE!

Hey everyone, again, so if you notice I changed the title from "Apparently even Ninja assassins have emotions." Mostly cuz I didn't wanna lose my 2 nice reviews.

Anyway, I have done this with Gilligan's Island and now that I am getting back into writing again after a couple month hiatus I wanted to make something that can keep me busy.

This is still dead man walking. But now I decided to add other episodes and instead of creating a thousand stories, I thought it much easier to keep it all together as a book of one shots so it will remain as complete.

Anyway as I changed the title i am also changing the rules. What I mean is, i want you, my readers help. If you have an episode you love and would like to see my tag to it just ask and I will watch the episode and take notes and write a small tag. But for now you may only use till season 7. I am waiting for eight to be cheaper but then it'll be up for grabs as well.

So yeah, PM me or just write in a review if you have ideas. But if you do the review you must leave a review of the chapter because it does mean the world to me when my readers let me know they love my work. I won't be doing these long notes anymore on the other chapter, I will only explain the tag to the episode.

I think this is what should happened in Dead Man Walking at the end. Roy obviously dies but I think Ziva should be allowed to mourn and the only one who seen her cry is Gibbs so maybe a sister could break the walls. Just a shot I thought I'd do, hope you like it.

He had never seen her look so emotional.

Ziva was still as a statue at her desk but he knew the difference. He had seen it first hand at the hospital. Now all he had to do was find the courage to talk to her about it.

He took a few steps forward despite all his fears that he would finally cross the line and end up in autopsy. But he also knew he had to try.

"You okay Zeeeva?" he called out rolling out her name on purpose.

Ziva blinked. "What?" she snapped then shook her head as Tony flinched.

"Sorry Tony, you startled me" she apologized. "Ha, that's a first, usually its other way around" Tony said with a smirk.

"What do you want DiNozzo?" she asked clearly not in a playful mood.

"Just checking how you were doing" Tony said innocently. "I'm fine" Ziva snapped.

Tony bent in front of her desk, reminding her how Tim had done the same when the suspect died in her custody.

"No, you're not Ziva" Tony said quietly. Ziva leaned in so she was nearly touching him.

"How do you know that?" she questioned. "Because no one recovers that fast" Tony retorted.

"I am fine" Ziva snapped. "Ziva…" Tony tried and Ziva jumped out of her chair.

"What will it take to get it through your brain DiNozzo! I AM FINE!" she yelled.

"I'd take her word for it DiNozzo" Gibbs said walking in.

"Fine…" Tony huffed and walked to his desk. He sat and stared at Ziva as she went back to her chair.

"I'm going for coffee" Gibbs called. He left the squad room to get away from his juvenile children.

"I think I'll go see Abby" McGee quipped following the boss's lead.

"What?" Ziva snapped as Tony continued to stare. "You know you could at least say thanks, I got examined on for an hour for you" he stated.

"You didn't have to…" Ziva said and Tony jumped up.

"Of course not! Because you're obviously the same Ziva I met two years ago" Tony yelled.

He cleared the gap between and pushed her chair out. "You're not the same Ziva, get over it" he hissed as he bent to her.

He pulled back and stormed off. Ziva stared at his retreating back. The old Ziva would have run after him and hurt him but she stayed in her chair.

Instead she leaned back in her chair and rubbed her temples. She then got up and went to the elevator.

"Can I have a moment alone with Abby, McGee?" she called out softly and both turned to her in surprise.

"I know, a lot has happened recently" she snapped and Tim shrugged to Abby and left.

Before he exited he stood in front of Ziva. "I know you told me before it wasn't necessary to cheer you up but…" he said and Ziva smiled.

She patted Tim's cheek lightly. "I know Tim and thank you" she said interrupting him and Tim nodded.

"No problem Ziva" he said softly and left the lab.

Ziva stood nervously and wrung her hands. "You know what never mind Abby, I'll go bring back McGee" she said after a minute.

She turned to leave and her wrist was grabbed. "You can't hide your feelings Ziva" she said softly.

"Tony told you…" she whispered and Abby nodded. "He didn't go into much detail just told me he thought it was nice" she said.

Ziva scoffed. "Nice huh? Falling in love with a dying man is nice?" she asked walking towards her computer.

Abby locked the lab and turned to her shaking her head. "No, I mean you showing compassion for a dying man and letting him have peace" she answered.

Ziva didn't turn as she played absentmindedly with Abby's stuff.

"I should go" she said softly trying to hide her breaking point. Abby went to her and touched her shoulder.

"You don't have to hide from us Ziva, everyone in this building except team Gibbs is terrified of you" she said.

Ziva chuckled. "Of course they are" she said with a smirk. "I said everyone but team Gibbs" Abby said.

Ziva turned as a tear fell. "So your saying I should just break down and cry on you because you're no longer afraid of me Abby?"

Abby shrugged. "I can't force you to cry Ziva but it is okay to, you liked Roy a lot and you should mourn for him" she said.

The words seemed to impact the woman and Abby put out her arms. "Hugs are my specialty" she offered and Ziva chuckled but stepped into the embrace.

It only lasted a couple minutes but it was more than enough. Ziva pulled back and wiped her eyes.

"Thank you Abby, I know we didn't get off on the right shoe…"

"Foot" Abby corrected and Ziva chuckled. "Foot, shoe, anyway I thank you for…helping me" she added.

Abby shrugged. "I was busy mourning for my best friend Ziva, you just came fast and took over her desk, I wasn't ready for you, now I am" she said.

Ziva smiled. "Thank you, now I should go find Tony and give the man-child his thank you"

Abby nodded and followed to unlock her lab. "Tony may be a jerk sometimes but he does have his moments, just ask Timmy" she said.

Ziva chuckled. "I believe you Abby, Tony does have his moments, rare but it is nice when he isn't a pick"

"I think you mean prick"

"Yes, thank you for always correcting me Tony" she said turning to him.

"Anytime Ziva" Tony answered with a coy smile. "Look I…" she began and Tony held up a hand.

"Forget it Ziva, I know you don't want to open up to me so I won't force…" he said and grabbed his hand and he cried in pain.

"May I finish please?" she asked and Tony nodded. She let go and he gave her an annoyed look.

"Sorry" she said with a small smile. Tony smirked at her and she took his hand.

"I am sorry" she said again with as much sincerity as she could. "It's fine Zee, were partners.." he said and Ziva put her free hand over his mouth.

"You were right Tony, I do owe you my gratitude" she said ignoring his interruption this time.

Tony pulled her hand away from his mouth. "It's fine Ziva" he said yet again.

"Will you stop saying that and just let me make this right" she snapped and Tony gave her a 'go ahead' look.

"Look, I am grateful to you for letting me give Roy some happiness for his last hour of life" she said and Tony nodded.

"Okay Ziva, your welcome" he said. He drew close and kissed her forehead.

"Besides it's all part of my DiNozzo charm, no woman can resist me" he said making a small growl as he turned and left.

Ziva shook her heads but she was smiling. 'And I probably wouldn't want it any other way' she thought as she followed him into the elevator.
