Hibisha: Finally, the last chapter!

TOBF: You really dragged this story huh?

Hibisha: Yeah...

TOBF: Oh well, here goes nothing.

"Deception All Around"

Heather gulped as Heat walked in front of where she hid with Zoey. Closing her eyes tightly, she wished Shirou would come fast.

Why would he? an inner voice asked her snidely, You ran away from him. He probably doesn't care about you. She shook her head, trying to shake off the annoying voice. But her heart felt heavy. Shirou was probably smirking at her text and thinking that she deserved what ever was happening.

"HEATHER!" Her blue eyes flew open as the melodious voice filled her ears. The weight on her shoulders disappeared. Peeking out of her hiding place, she saw Heat freeze in his place as he saw Shirou rushing towards him. Shirou wasn't alone-Atsuya, Haruya and Fuusuke followed close at his heels. Nagumo tackled Heat to the ground. Shirou came forward and looked around.

"Heather?" he called out cautiously. It was too much for her. Crying, she jumped down the tree and threw her arms around him. She half expected him to push away and glare at her. But two warm and strong arms wrapped themselves around her and held her as she cried.

"Its ok," he whispered, "I'm here...I'm here." She buried her face deeper in his chest. Yes, he was there. He was real. His hand slowly ran up and down her back, trying to calm her down.

"What the fuck did you do to your hair?" a voice made her pull back and stare at the source. Atsuya openly gaped at her. At first, she was confused about what he was so shocked about. Then she remembered-sh had dyed her hair pink! Sniffling, she rubbed her eyes and saw Nagumo and Fuusuke also staring at her. She felt uncomfortable. Oooh boy, she had major explaining to do. Suddenly Haruya cried out. She turned just in time to see Heat get up and run jump away from the red head. Haruya was bleeding-Heat held a bloody knife. Fuusuke rushed forward and pulled Haruya away, jerking him roughly away from the man and standing in front of him in a fighting stance. He wasn't giving his brother up without a fight. Heat smiled all around, his eyes resting on Shirou.

"So...you're Fubuki." Heat said, his eyes glinting dangerously, "Oh good. I'll kill all of you here." Heather clutched Shirou's hand tightly and he moved in front of her, eyes narrowing a the raven haired man in front of them.

"Who are you?" Nagumo asked, holding his bleeding shoulder and staggering up, perspiring heavily. Fuusuke immediately helped his younger brother stand up. Younger as in two minutes younger that is. Heather closed her eyes tightly. There was so much blood. Suddenly a thump from behind them made all of them whirl around. Zoey stood there, holding up a police badge.

"Detective Zonex." she said, her eyes fixed on Heat, "You boy, are under arrest for the murder of Ritsuko Mira, Satsuki Chiru, Kijirou Sakura and 30 other girls. Drop the knife and come quietly or I shall have to use force." Heather froze. Detective...? Murder...? She looked back and forth from Heat and Zoey, her heart thudding painfully in her chest. Heat began to laugh. He dropped the knife and pulled out a gun from his jacket.

"Detective Zonex huh?" he said in a mocking tone, "And here I thought we were friends. Guess I was wrong. You're just like her. Using me like a tissue and throwing me away." Heather closed her eyes, racking her brain to decide who could be the 'her' that would do this to Heat. Clara. Heather's eyes flew open. Clara did this-? But she loved this man. She still did. Heather knew this because she knew Clara. Heat moved his gun from Zoey to Heather.

"What's wrong Haylie?" he asked, "Did you forget about me that easily?" Heather stared at him in apparent confusion. Haylie? Who the hell was she? Haruya was leaning against Fuusuke. Both their clothes with now darkened by Haruya's blood. Heather moved away from Shirou to Haruya and pulled him away from Fuusuke, supporting him, freeing Fuusuke to move about.

"That's Heat." she declared, feeling Haruya stiffen beside her. Fuusuke gasped, his calm mask slipping off of his face. Haruya's eyes filled with love, pain, recognition and then hurt.

"Heat?" he gasped out, flinching with pain "You-?" Heather felt bad for him. He had just been stabbed by his best friend-no, brother. Fuusuke's hand clenched into fists.

"YOU BASTARD!" he yelled, flying at the other boy, "I'LL KILL YOU!" Heat aimed the gun away from Zonex and pointed it at Fuusuke and grinned. Heather suddenly felt the time slow down. She opened her mouth to yell at Fuusuke to move out of the way. But before her vocal cords could activate, a dark shadow came up from the side and tackled Heat to the ground. The gun was knocked out and thrown to the side. Zonex moved forward and hand cuffed Heat. The man on top of him stood up to reveal...another Heat.

Heather looked at the man grinning at her and the man on the ground glaring at the other. The only difference was the dyed hair. Same eyes, ame scar near the eye, same height, same...everything. Haruya and Fuusuke also stared. Heat smiled at them. Shirou and Atsuya ogled at him.

"Hey guys," he said casually, as if he knocked down murderers who looked identical to him everyday, "Long time no see."

"So that's your twin brother?" Atsuya asked, his eyes wide. The real Heat nodded.

"His name is Satsuki." Heat said, his eyes clouding over, "We were separated at birth." Nagumo was sitting on the hospital bed, his arm bandaged up. The doctor wanted him to stay the night since he had lost a lot of blood. Suzuno sat on the chair near the window. Zonex was standing in the corner with her arms folded. Heather sat next to Shirou, her own head taped up. Shirou held her close. As she snuggled even closer, he tightened his hold on her, afraid she'd disappear if he let go.

"Satsuki was twelve when his foster sister, Haylie Benlow, killed her family, while leaving him alive just to watch her massacre them. Then she blamed him and everyone believed her. He got sentenced to go to jail for life but he escaped. Ever since he has kept on a look out for Haylie. First, he only wanted to kill Haylie but soon his mind began to get distorted. He began to kill any girl who resembled Haylie." Heather gasped. Nagumo's mouth was set in a tight line. Suzuno coughed. Everyone looked at him.

"What does Haylie look like?" he asked. Shirou's eyes narrowed. Heat smiled.

"Blonde, tanned, blue eyes." Heather gasped one again. Shirou felt her tremble. Heat sighed and closed her eyes.

"Zonex here contacted me," he said, "and asked me to help him track down Satsuki. Satsuki somehow had managed found out about me and his twisted mind had somehow made him believe that I was the one killing the girls. He killed girls and blamed it on me. So I had to pretend to run away. I've been working undercover since then." Nagumo didn't say anything. He simply closed his eyes and fell back on the bed.

"You could have told us. You could have told me." he said, "You could have. You know you could have." Heat smiled, his teal eyes crinkling at the corners as a dimple appeared in his left cheek.

"I couldn't have. He would have killed you all as well." Nagumo opened his mouth to respond but he never got the chance.

"Heat?" a small voice asked. Everyone turned to look at the doorway where Clara stood, her eyes wide and body trembling. Heat paled and stood up.

"Clara! I-" The rest of his words were drowned as the blunette threw herself at him. The sound of the slap echoed around the room. Heat winced.

"Ouch." he muttered. Shirou grinned. Heat had that one coming for years. Clara's eyes watered and she threw herself into Heat's arms, crying. Heat looked lost at what to do. Fuusuke was smiling a rare smile and Atsuya was grinning. Nagumo was chuckling softly while singing in a low voice, "I can hear the wedding bells, take me away..." Heat threw him a dirty look. Shirou laughed. He felt Heather's body shuffle and looked down to see her eyes drooping. Slowly, he reached up and closed her eyes with his fingers. She fell asleep in minutes. One by one, children from the orphanage entered and slapped Heat on the back, making him retell the tale again and again.

Shirou looked up and saw Zonex exiting the room. Detaching himself from Heather's grip, he went after her.

"Thank you." he said to her retreating back, "For keeping her safe." Zonex just raised her hand and kept on walking. Shirou smiled. walking back inside, he quietly picked up Heather and carried her out, leaving the others to catch up with one another. The people from the orphanage needed to be alone. Carrying Heather's sleeping form outside, he put her in the car and drove towards her home. Smiling, he pulled into the Bell's driveway. Here goes nothing.

Zonex walked towards the park and sat down on the bench. There was no one around except for the young man seated behind her, on the adjoining bench. Pulling out her wallet, she stared at the picture of the eight year boy in it. He had chocolate brown hair and large murky blue eyes. She smiled at the picture. It was her childhood friend, the only friend she had ever had in her life.

"Aldeninny..." she said, just as the man behind her said, "Zoey..." Both of the jumped up and whirled around to face each other. Eyes widened simultaneously. Zonex Krypton stared at her childhood best friend, her foster brother, Fidio Aldena.

"Fidio...?" she asked, her body trembling. Fidio stared at her before...

"ZOEY!" the brunette lunged at her, throwing his arms tightly around her. She laughed and hugged him even tighter.

"You bastard!" she yelled, laughing, "Where have you been you ignorant buffoon? I searched everywhere for you!" He pulled away, and beamed at her.

"I was here all this time Zoey!" he exclaimed. Zonex rolled her eyes. 'Here' didn't narrow anything down. Still the same shidiot...Zoey shook her head. Smiling, she patted her little brother on the head. Bad move-he began bawling like a baby. Throwing his arms around her, he clung onto her like a leech.

"ZOEY!" he wailed, "I MISSED YOU!" Zoey sweat-dropped. Then she did what she always did to get him off of her-she punched the living daylights out of him. He stumbled back and shut up, sniffling slightly. Shaking her head, she dragged the Italian away by the hand, smiling.

Hibisha: A reunion unlike any other.

Zonex: Can't I kill him?

Fidio: ZOEY!
