Okay, THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I DON'T UPDATE! Goodness, for people who've been demanding updates all the time, they never review... Why is that so? Is it just me? It could be that you don't care and you're pretending to be eager. WELL, IF YOU DON'T GET ME AT LEAST TO 35 REVIEWS, THEN YOU WILL BE WAITING A WHOLE FLIPPING YEAR FOR THE NEXT UPDATE FOR ANTHRO! You got that? Thank you people who did review. You know who you are.
Four more to go until this ends. Aka, three until the finale!
Zane felt like he was dying on the spot. Shea's figure disappears into the darkness of the night. Serves you right, Spirits seemed to whisper into his ears, Serves you right! Shouldn't have tried, you shouldn't have! In his mind, he forced his sixth sense to be dormant so he couldn't hear the malicious spirits of those who have passed. He knew they were right. But that didn't matter. Shea wasn't with him anymore.
"I should have given up the chase." He admits so that it rang through the area. He felt numb, almost dead inside. He whispers into his hands, "It wasn't going to last." How was he going to explain to Sensei that he let Shea leave, walk away from destiny's clear call? In even worse remembrance, he realized something else.
How was he going to tell his brothers they were right...?
Zane couldn't. Have his brothers know that he lost her affection? They would laugh and laugh until he ran off into the woods. Then they'd be sorry about it, and... But why go through that whole process?
The white ninja felt his face growing warm from thinking of the way Shea had walked away from him. The humiliation was too much... And he couldn't pop that one question- ever! He sat beside a pond, and began to wonder...
Shea doesn't seem to be the type to play a man's heart... R-right? He asks himself, What if she is being FORCED to say so? Then that means she still cares! That means... No. NO. NO! NOOOO! That means whoever forced her to must have her in their clutches!
Zane feels his body sway. He was not losing her, not until he was sure if she had willingly said so. He hits the surface of the pond, finally emerging to release himself from whatever trance had held him almost moments ago. Cole stares at him, Jay and Kai sitting on the edge.
"Zane," Asks Cole, "What are you doing? Hey, where's Shea?" Zane doesn't respond, until he returns to the solid land. The white ninja sighs, "Shea broke up with me." "ALREADY?!" Yells each of them. Jay cries out, "But, but, b-but! It's only been a single day!" Kai argues, "Shea won't give up that easily..."
"I know. I think..." Zane hesitantly admits, "I think somebody forced her."
