A/N: Okay, so I decided to continue the story of Jay, Randy and Nomi. I thought it would be fun, and not always lemon. Hehe, this should be fun. I know I had fun when I typed it. XD Anyway, enjoy. AND COMMENT! I cannot stress this enough. I know you were here, it tells meeee!

The hospital was a dreary/fun place, for different ages. Many came and went through the huge double doors, visiting family members or friends. A stench of bleach and medical supplies, very much overcoming the scent of the flowers in the courtyard nearby. The fountain that stood in the middle added more fun/gloom to the hospital. It was of a woman, who was holding her childs face as tears streamed down their faces as a wound was in the mothers stomach. The tears was where the water trickled from.

Nomi clung to Randy's hand as they passed through the large halls, passing by needles, syringes, and nurses hurrying by with notebooks or clipboards. A nurse at the front desk smiled at Randy, noticing him from many, many times before.

"Hello, Randy! Who's this?" she guestured to Nomi, waggling her eyebrows.

Randy rolled his eyes,"Michelle, Nomi, Nomi, Michelle. Nomi is my boyfriend."

Nomi blushed deeply at the word 'boyfriend'. Randy had kept his word after that night, a few weeks ago, that they would be together. That he loved him. It was honestly cute. Michelle was a woman of about thirty-five, with short, blue-ish hair, and green eyes that seemed to sparkle anytime. She was of slim build, like a small bird. Her mood certainly was like one.

Michelle beamed,"I assume that you're here to see Jay? It's been a while that you've seen her."

"Yeah. I've told Nomi about her, and he wanted to see her."

"I honestly thought you and Jay had a thing going on! But, sadly, not. The girls will be disapointed in you. Aaannndd then they'll get over it because you're dating this cute piece of work!"

Michelle went to touch Nomi, but Randy said,"Hands off, Michelle. He's mine."

Michelle pouted, retracting her hand. "Fine. You know what to do! See you some other time, then."

Randy, laughing, walked away, still holding Nomi's hand as he walked to a sign-in sheet. Nomi saw that Randy's name appeared at least several times this week.

'So that's where he's been going all this time.' Nomi thought.

Randy signed his and Nomi's name in the longer box, the time and date in the smaller one. Putting down the pen, Randy smiled at Nomi as he squeezed his hand.

"You ready to see her?"

"Am I mentally? Probably not. Physically? Yes. Maybe." Nomi stammered.

Randy laughed, leading him down a hall that looked like all the others; white tiles, wallpaper a greenish color, and a few decorations that were hoisted on the wall in order to try and brighten the hall. It's more like the walk of doom, if you ask many.

"You are adorable when you're nervous." fake-gushed Randy.

"Don't you dare make me pull out embarassing memories of you that even you don't know."

"Actually, I would like to see those."

"You're not half-bad when you actually try." Nomi used his free hand to pinch Randy's cheek, causing the purple-haired teen to duck away from his hand, laughing.

"And you're not so half-uptight now that you've... relieved some tension."

Nomi blushed," That was a low blow, Randy! Cheater."

Randy kissed Nomi on his cheek, earning a few glares from others. "Of course I am. How do you think I win against McFist's robots?"

"I don't know. A sword. A suit. Amazing moves." Nomi listed. "It's very easy and simple, yet you make it hard."

Before Randy could reply, they arrived at the room number 232, which Nomi guessed was Jay's room. Silently, Randy opened the door, revealing a sunlit room. The only occupied bed was in the far corner, pressed against the wall, nearest to the window. It had the upper part risen, with a tray next to it. On it was a computer, an empty bag of chips, a half-empty glass of strawberry milk, and a stack of papers with a pen on it, writing on the papers beneth it. Next to that was a pair of glasses, folded neatly and honestly.

The girl in the bed had the blankets, which were a blue hue, folded up to her waist. Her hands were pale, and folded in her lap. The girl's face was turned away, allowing the boys to only see the back of her head. The long, black hair had blonde hair at the roots, and Nomi could see that she had dyed her hair before this illness swatted her down. he could see her bones prodding from her skin, and he squirmed. The girls fingers twitched, and she turned her face. Nomi blinked in surprise.

She had beautiful blue eyes, with a ring of rust color surrounding her pupil. She blinked long lashes at the two of them, licking her cupids bow lips. The sides curved into a smile, and she grinned, though Nomi could see it was pained. She moved one hand, reaching to them. Nomi could see that they didn't trust her with nail clippers, seems as how her nails were long. Her eyes landed on his, and her smile disappeared into a look of surprise.

"Randy, as good as it is to see you, who is this?" her voice was hoarse, as if she hadn't used it in a while.

Her voice snapped him out of his observing mode. "I am Nomi."

"He's my boyfriend, Jay. No need to worry."

Jay's eyes lit up. "You're gay?! The fangirls are going to love this!"

Randy shook his head. "What is it with people and my sexuality and relationships?!"

"You are an interesting person." Jay and Nomi said in usion.

"Hey, Nomi, come over here." Jay said, still holding out her hand.

Nomi complied, sitting in a chair next to the bed. "Yes, Jay?"

Jay smiled before taking Nomi's hands in hers. She stared into his eyes intently. "Nomi, you are a very lucky man. Remember, " she paused, hesitating, before she whispered," Don't. Hurt. Him. Please?"

And image of Randy looking hurt, and crying came into his mind, much like the night weeks ago, when Randy had proclaimed his love for Nomi. He shuddered, shaking his head.

"I swear." he said. "I wouldn't bear to hurt him."

Jay nodded. "You're a good one." she laid back,"Randy, I know you visite me all the time, sometimes, but you definitly need a reason this time."

"Why would I need a reason?" Randy said, a bit uncomfortably. "You know you're like a fun sister."

"Randy."

"Fine... I-I may have a solution to cure your cancer..."

"He means he does. But he needs my help to pull it off." Nomi said.

Jay suddenly sat up strait, dead serious. "What did you say?"

"We have a cure, Jay." Nomi said, patting her hand.

"...No, no, no, that's not possible! The doctors themselves said it wasn't possible! This isn't funny if you're playing a joke!" tears gathered in her eyes, her hands moving to her mouth and away from Nomi.

Her heart moniter began to beep faster and faster, and Jay hardly noticed as she pulled her hair and bite her lip. She evened out her breathing, calming herself some. She wiped her eyes, sighing.

"Jay, calm down!" Randy said, getting closer. "It's ture, and we can show you somehow... Nomi, I think this is where you come in."

Nomi smiled a bit, rolling his eyes while mouthing 'Stupid' to Jay, who smiled a bit and giggled. Randy stunned Nomi by suddenly pinching the sides of his neck, causing him to tense and flinch.

"Alright! Alright! Just let me go!"

"Cutest. Couple. Ever." Jay said, smiling widely.

"It all started a long time ago..." Nomi began his story, which was a long one, indeed.

***a long explination later***

"...So, this is the only way." Nomi finished to a wide-mouthed Jay.

"So, let me get this straight," Jay said, getting out of her shock. "You're the ninja, Randy, and Nomi, you're a book, sorry, used to be a book, that lead the ninja into victory?" she finished.

"Yes. And the way we can save you is that we trade places, you taking the place of me, and I will take your mortality."

Jay blinked. "And this is the only way? If I take your place, I would just stay with the Ninja and teach him, and never leave Norrisville?"

Nomi shook his head,"You can do whatever you want to, but you do have to be with the Ninja. Maybe you can even get him to do whatever you want."

"Whoa! I get to control the minds of Ninjas?!"

"No. I was joking. I dreamed, a few months ago, that Randy would be the Ninja to destroy the Sorcerer, but there still needs to be a line of Ninjas to protect Norrisville."

"And you're doing this to stay with him?"

"Yes."

A silence stretched out, going from five minutes to ten before a small whisper was heard,"I'll do it."

Nomi searched Jay's eyes. "Are you positive? This will change your appearance and mind quite a bit."

"I don't care. Don't you see, Nomi, I want to live. No matter the cost."

Nomi shared glances with Randy, who leaned on a wall, before taking Jays hands. "Don't tell anyone I didn't warn you."

Jay's eyes widened, and Randys did as well when he saw what was happening, while Jay felt what was happening. She felt all the knoladge, all the strength and wisdom, and all the powers, and imortality that was being sent into her mind and body. It was overloading, too much! She felt her mind numbing, her vision blackening at the edges. Randy was amazed at what he saw; Jay's blue eyes were changing! Her once blue eyes went to being a soft grey and a bright green. Then he saw that she was passing out. Her eyes rolled back into her head, and she released her grip on Nomi, falling back onto the bed. Then the heart moniter suddenly stopped, releasing a long, slow bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

"What just happened?!" Randy cried out, racing over to Jay's side.

"This is a part of the ritual." Nomi whispered, head down.

Before another word was spoken, nurses and doctors filled the room, shouting and ordering others. Randy and Nomi were shoved into the waiting room. Randy couldn't help it; he felt empty, as if it were his fault that Jay was... no, he couldn't think this way. Nomi noticed his troubled look, and squeezed his hand. Randy looked up, asking with his eyes for a hug. Nomi consented, allowing himself to be pulled into a tight embrace as Randy cried.

***a few days later***

They waited at the moment, watching the still body that lay on the table. A blanket covered the still form up to it's chest, which was, like the rest of it's parts, was still. Randy and Nomi watched Jay's form, like they had done for the past three days in Randy's room. Nomi had said that it would be a long while, possibly a week. So they had taken her body(which Randy hadn't wanted to do), and placed her in his room. They had watched as her hair thickened and changed color.

Instead of the black-and-blonde hair color, it was black-and-red. The tips were curled, and it curled at her shoulders. It parted in the middle in the front, with two strands becoming very curled in both front and back down the sides of her face. Nomi had pushed her bangs back with a headband that he found somewhere, Randy didn't want to know where.

Her eyes had stayed the same as from when they changed, which they knew would have happened. Her skin became pale like the pages of the Nomicon, and she had not a flaw in it. She became regularly curved, and fit. But it was mentally that they were waiting for to still yet recover from, though the physical just finished yesterday.

Silence had overcome the boys since they body napping, which was really having been swapped with a clone Nomi made mentally before he had done the ritual. Now the parents had a body, but not the real one. It was sickening for Randy, but Nomi felt worse than Randy. Now, the couple leaned against each other, Nomi's eyes closed while Randy watched for even the slightest movement.

After about an hour, Randy noticed her graceful (another physical change) fingers twitching. Slight movements, but still moving. He tapped Nomi awake, pointing to Jay. Nomi's eyes widened, and he stared at Randy with wide eyes.

They watched as Jay groaned, then sat up, rubbing her head. Her mismatched eyes found Randy and Nomi, and she blinked in surprise. She tested her voice, then spoke.

"Di-Did it work? Th-the ritual?" she said.

"Yes. And not only that, but the book part of you made something for you." Nomi said, reaching for the package behind him.

Handing it to Jay, she took it. "The book part of me; it made something for me?"

Nomi nodded, then handed it to her. Taking the blanket with her, she went to the bathroom down the hall, and was gone for a while. When she came back, Nomi and Randy smiled in amazment.

She wore a full out body suit, much like the one Nomi used to wear. Only, hers had the exact rings and ninja head (which appeared to be removeable) on the front. Around her neck was a different symbol, not the Norisu symbol, but close. The Norisu symbol was on the headband, skirt, and right side of her arm on the suit. Ribbon-like patterns were on the leggings, and on the back (if they could see it) was three rings. She had a cape on, which went to the floor. It was pushed to the sides, the same design that was on her neck was on the bottom of the cape, in beautiful red thread. Soft grey thread made three half-circles all around, on a different piece of cloth, but still on the same artical. It was majestic, and amazing. Nomi smiled, watching as she oggled herself in the mirror in Randy's room.

"Jay-"

"I'm Miko now, like no'Mico'n. Only with a 'k'." She turned to face them,"If that's all right. I mean, new life, new name, right?"

"It's fine, Miko." Nomi smiled, as did Randy.

"Hey, at least you guys can be together, right?" Miko blushed. "I'll give you some alone time. I want an apple, all of a sudden."

She left before Nomi could protest, leaving him to be swept into Randy's arms, being pressed into a passionate kiss. He slightly moaned, pressing back. When Randy pulled away, he was slightly dizzy.

"That- was better than all the others." Nomi said, holding his head.

"Being mortal does that to you." Randy smirked, before bending for another kiss. "So does Miko know everything about ninjas?"

"Everything I know and knew." Nomi chuckled.

"Do you feel any different?"

"Nope. I just feel more emotions."

Nomi smiled, enjoying as he was French dipped into another kiss. An embarrassed cough came from the door, forcing them to part as they looked to Miko, who held a green apple. She was blushing, painting her porceline white skin with a red. She was smiling.

"I should have gotten a picture."

"Ahem, Miko! Fifteen more minutes?"

"Ohhh... See ya! I'm going to watch T.V. Though for some reason, I feel like I want to meditate..."

Curious look on her face, she left.

Nomi looked back to Randy,"Where were we?"

"I think here..."

Randy pressed his lips to Nomi's again, smiling this time. Nomi was surprised to admit it, but he loved being a mortal being.

A/N: Soo? Didja like it? Oh well. COMMENT. I KNOW YOU WERE HERE. SMOKEBOMB.*disappears*
