Thank you for all those really kind reviews. It really means a lot to me... And so let us get on with the chapter.

xXxXx

The red-headed man strode across the deserted grave yard, his boots softly crunching on the newly fallen snow. He had mixed feelings about this particular visit, but it only seemed right to see his best friend's brother's grave. First Neah, now Mana? They seemed to be dropping like flies.

As he rounded a over decorated mausoleum, he almost dropped the small bouquet of flowers he had bought. Leaned up against a large granite cross was a young boy asleep and covered with white fluffy flakes. The left side of his face was covered in a deep red, and his mismatched hands were clamped around a small envelope. Cross walked over to the boy and wiped the blood away, revealing a curious cut on the left side of the boy's face. Grimacing, the man pulled out a small bottle of white powder and dabbed it on the wound. A waste of his current lover's gift, but it seemed wrong not use it.

Satisfied that the large slash was treated-ish, the red head looked to the kid's clenched hands. Carefully he tried to pry the freezing fingers away, but the boy held fast. Growling, he yanked the envelope. While this got it out of the boy's grip, it also ripped the letter in half. Cross let out a rather impressive string of cusses. Fumbling with the two pieces, he began to read.

Dear Master Cross,

As you probably realized, this child is a Aposel of god, and the next 14th. DO NOT KILL HIM.
Instead do what you should be doing instead of getting drunk and seducing ladies.
DO YOUR FRICKING JOB! OR MAYBE YOU'VE FORGOTTEN?
Oh... Sorry. Anyways, Master I'm sure you won't listen to me, don't send the kid to get booze, gamble, catch lions, test food for poison,
steal jewelry, barter, pay off your debts, be used as a hostage, abandon him, not feed him or act like a arse. Sigh. You're not going to listen to me, are you?

Sincerely,

Allen Walker

Dear Readers,

Thank you so much for making it through this poorly written fan fiction to it's slightly better written end. I sort of do like the ending... I've have it'd planned out from the start... Sort of point A to point B... And this is why I don't write letters. -_-"
