Oh boy. . . Here comes the final chapter, my friends. Until I make the rubric for the second edition. I hope you enjoy this! It took me a long time!

Chapter 36: Their Famous Last Words
"Kagome, Kagome wake up!!"
Sasuke kept himself knelt down over the girls cold body. Kagome's face was pale, and her eyes remained wide opened, a look of pain glued to her expression.
Orochimaru didn't remove himself from his spot, he just watched with amusement with how Sasuke reacted to the body of his loved one in his arms.
"Such a pity that she never thought about her condition before she came here. . .though, it wouldn't have been this interesting." he said.
A snarl and grunt came from the boy in front of the snake-like man. Sasuke's shoulders tensed upward, and his body shivered. His anger could be easily seen, as if it were glowing around his entire being.
". . .You bastard." He said quietly, "You'll regret this. . . You'll regret what you did to her!"
"Oh?" Orochimaru smiled, "And how do you suppose I will?"
Sasuke closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his arms took Kagome close to his chest, embracing her for a short while, feeling her short breaths against his skin. As his eyes re-opened, he looked to her pained face, and after placing her body gently on the ground, he put his hand over her face, and closed her eyelids.
His body began to rise, clenching his katana that lied next to him. Sasuke stood with his back turned to Orochimaru, and his free hand was clenched into a fist.
"This is it, Orochimaru. . ." he said.
"Well then, my little prodigy, come at me!" Orochimaru held out one hand, summoning Sasuke to him.
A loud roar escaped Sasuke's breath, he clenched his katana with both hands, and charged at Orochimaru as fast as he could. It was a matter of half a second that he approached his enemy, and with a grunt and pull, Sasuke's arm rotated forward, slashing the katana straight forward.
Orochimaru was fast, he dashed sideways, dodging the attack on Sasuke's behalf. Quickly, he let his fingers create four jutsu patterns, and intertwined his index fingers, letting his chakra move to his control. His eyes closed, and suddenly, the neck of the snake man stretched, and as it did, it jolted forward to his little Uchiha play toy.
Fangs bearing, and Orochimaru's face pushed to Sasuke, but was disappointed, when his opponent dashed behind him, and gave him a violent kick in the back.
His body pushed forward, Orochimaru turned around, looking to Sasuke with a grin as his neck stretched back into place.
"I certainly taught you well. . .you're a fast one." he commented.
"Don't flatter yourself." Sasuke held out his sword, and ran toward his villain yet again.
Sasuke moved quicker, and without even making a second thought, Sasuke's katana pierced into Orochimaru's waist. He heard a small shriek come from the snake. . .then a cackle.
Orochimaru grasped the katana, pulling it out of him, and tossing it to the side. His bloody hands grabbed onto Sasuke's neck, turned him around, and slammed his body against the wall.
"You see, I know your moves, you've been here for quite some time, and I've come to see a pattern in your fighting tactics." He said with a laugh, "You may think that I am to die tonight, but as far as I can tell. . .it is you who will shortly be the one to die, along with Kagome."
"If she dies. . ." Sasuke whispered, "I swear. . ."
"Oh, don't you worry." Orochimaru's smile began to stretch longer, reaching the sides of his face, "If she does die, she won't be alone in the afterlife. . .and both your bodies and eyes will be put to good use."
As Orochimaru finished his sentence, his smile had already grown, and his eyes narrowed. His pale face began to stretch as well, and scales slowly began to form out of his skin. Pink muscle, Orochimaru's tongue, released itself from his mouth, and slowly forked at the ends.
In a matter of moments, Orochimaru's head began to resemble one of a real snake. He hissed at Sasuke, the thin tongue waving above his nose.
". . . Goodbye. . .Sssssasuke."
At just that second, Orochimaru's head stretched out from his neck, and pushed forward, yet again, toward Sasuke. He twisted his head around Sasuke's shoulders, and pressed his entire body against him. Sasuke was being smothered.
He tried to push as much as he could, trying to pry his way out of Orochimaru's grasp, but no budge. All Sasuke could do was look around the room, trying to find his way out of the grasp. Orochimaru began to squeeze, and it was becoming difficult for Sasuke to even breathe. He didn't quite know what to do. He couldn't reach for any weapons, Orochimaru's body had already begun to wrap itself all around him. It was difficult. . .even when he could only stare at Kagome's motionless body before him, across the room.
His anger was almost too much to handle, and the combination of sadness with it, only made it worse. Sasuke continued to struggle, using all his strength to get Orochimaru off.
He pushed and pushed until finally. .. Orochimaru's hold became light for a split second, and Sasuke managed to escape the grasp. Sasuke pushed Orochimaru away, and ran back to his katana.
"Quit fucking around!" he yelled, "Let's end this now!"
"I was most certainly planning to. . ." Orochimaru said as his body began to slither forward, "Only you interrupted me."
Orochimaru laughed, he stopped not too far away from Sasuke, and he began to start another jutsu. His skin began to bubble up, the scales rising from his face, and splitting into buds. It was quite a sight to see, Sasuke thought so. His eyes quickly changed to his sharingan ability, giving himself the chance to see just exactly what Orochimaru was planning.
"Those eyes. . . They will be mine!" Orochimaru said, still with a cold laughter.
Sasuke concentrated, staring at Orochimaru as his entire body began to bud and bubble. His budding spread even to the floor, making the room an odd fun-house with masses of flesh.
"Hmph. . ." Sasuke scoffed as she examined the situation, his expression changing to a somber, cold stare.
It was clear that Sasuke was going to finish his revenge. For Kagome, for himself, for anyone that was affected by Orochimaru. He wanted to save her. . .and he wanted to continue his plans for the future.
And as he thought this. . .Sasuke knew almost exactly how he could solve this problem. He watched as the bubbling flesh began to spread over his body, up to his face. His expression remained the same, and he barely listened to Orochimaru's talk at all.
All he did was listen to his laugh. . .and closed his eyes. His mind focused on the task at hand, and focused on the flesh spreading all over his body. Sasuke's eyes then reopened, staring at Orochimaru with his sharingan stare. His vision went blurry, then dark until suddenly. . .he pictured things other than the room.
He pictured thoughts. . .
The thoughts were odd. . .he pictured Itachi and Orochimaru in his days as an Akatsuki member, watching the both of them converse. Sasuke almost wanted to laugh, but he kept his composure, watching the memories of Orochimaru's past.
He continued to travel through the mind of his enemy, letting his sharingan do the work of seeing what Orochimaru's future moves were. He knew exactly what to do. . .
On and on, the thoughts went. . .and Sasuke stood completely still when he shut his eyes yet again. He focused chakra, a large mass of chakra deep inside him. Sasuke concentrated deeply, waiting for Orochimaru's striking plan to take fold. . .until finally. . .
Sasuke's eyes shot open once again, releasing his chakra and wrath upon the snake in front of him. The bubbling flesh began to convulse, pulsing violently against him and the entire room. He watched closely as the convulsing pulses began to travel all the way to Orochimaru. His focus remained as he watched the pulses travel further and further. . .
The beating traveled fast. . .all the way up to Orochimaru's body. . .it was violent, it was strong.
Strong enough. . .to travel all the way up to Orochimaru's neck, and blast his throat open. Orochimaru's head was separated from his neck, and dropped to the floor. His head hissed, the snake eyes dashing across the room, and blood gushing from the remains of his neck. The flesh broke apart, and the room was now covered in the gore of Sasuke's former enemy. The remaining parts of Orochimaru's body dropped to the ground, and a bottle rolled out of the pocket of his pants and onto the floor.
He was left to stand on his own in the middle of the floor. Sasuke took a long breath, and his eyes went back to the normal onyx color.
"Finally. . ." Sasuke said under his breath, "That's for hurting her. . .And for that, now I'm the one who will take over."
A small smile came across Sasuke's lips, but quickly faded as he looked to Kagome's still stiff body on the ground.
"But first. . ."
Sasuke walked over to the stray bottle on the ground, he knelt down and picked it up, and quickly dashed over to Kagome's side. He picked her up, and held her close, checking to see if her small breath was still there. . .
Luckily, it was.
He was now in a rush, Kagome was still on the brink of life or death, her breath was short, and her pulse was slow, but there was still some life left in her. With a flick of his fingers, Sasuke snapped off the top of the bottle, seeing that her red pills filled the bottle to the middle. He quickly popped two pills out of the dispenser, and he placed the top back on it, then placed the remaining left in Kagome's top.
Hoping to god that it would work, Sasuke held Kagome's body upward, causing her head to tilt backward. He took his free hand, and moved it to her mouth, his fingers pulled her lips down, her mouth now already open. Sasuke didn't waste time, he popped one pill at a time in her mouth, each time, closing her lips, and tilting her head back just a tad more so she'd swallow.
Finally, each pill was set.
Sasuke knew that it wouldn't work just like that. He placed Kagome's body flat on her back to the ground, and he pressed his lips against her own, her mouth now opened again. He breathed his own breath into her chest, feeling it rise. It was safe to do so, knowing that Kagome swallowed each pill whole, and now Sasuke was to bring more life back into her.
After a few breaths, Sasuke put his hands over her chest, and began to do downward thrusts between her breasts. Once a few were made, Sasuke repeated the mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.
It was a while, and Sasuke made many attempts. He called to her as he pushed to her chest area, begging her to wake up.
He tried as hard as he could, until finally. . . Kagome coughed. Sasuke took his hands away from her chest, and picked her up again, holding her close, feeling her pulse now stronger, and beating fast.
She continued coughing, and her eyes were halfway opened. Sasuke stroked her face, and wiped sweat from her brow.
"Just hang on. . ." he said, "You'll be alright."
Kagome's head turned slowly, looking to Sasuke as best as she could. She could barely see him, her eyes were shut too much to allow any vision. Her mouth opened to speak, but when she attempted to, her voice would crack, and she would continue to cough.
"Sa. . . S-Sas. . ." She breathed.
Her body was in too much pain to try and speak any more, even keeping her eyes somewhat opened was painful.
"Just rest and hold on."
Those were the last Kagome heard, before she completely blacked out again, her body's weight dropping into Sasuke's arms.
Sasuke sighed, he looked to Kagome's frail condition as he picked her up.
"I'm sorry. . ." He said, "But. . .you can't stay with me any longer for now. . .Don't worry, I'll take you home to Konoha where you'll be well taken care of."
Sasuke knew he didn't have much time. He ran down to the halls, dashing to Kagome's room and grabbing her bag. His arms gently put her down before he put the bag on his back, and then he picked Kagome up once more.
Fast, Sasuke ran out of the vicinity that once belonged to Orochimaru. He didn't stop for one second, he just continued to run as fast as his legs would allow while carrying.
It was a few hours. . .but Sasuke managed to make his way back to the humble lands of Konoha. Luckily, he had made it there beyond midnight, around the time that everyone slept. But he was silent, knowing that anyone could be there, especially people that had already been looking for him and Kagome.
'I'll have to take her to Kakashi and Kagura's. . .if I quietly pick the lock to the window, I can take her into the living room where she used to stay. . . And they'll find her in the morning.' Sasuke thought.
He remembered exactly where Kakashi and Kagura had lived while taking care of Kagome a year ago. His direction quickly shifted to that exact way, and in just a few minutes, he found himself in front of the quiet apartment.
Sasuke had to be careful. He gently put Kagome down, leaning her against the wall, and then reached to his weapons, taking out one of Kagome's needles. Slowly and quietly, he picked the lock to the window, taking his time and eventually, unlocking the keyhole. He gently opened the window, and picked Kagome up yet again. He slowly slipped himself into the apartment, being quiet as his feet reached the floor-boards.
The room was dark, and it was easy to bump into anything. He was careful as he felt his way around the living room, finding the couch. His vision adjusted to the darkness, and he could faintly see the furniture below him. Gently, he lied Kagome's delicate body on the cushions.
He dug through Kagome's bag, and took out a variety of objects. He took out her first aid kit, her spare kimono top. Sasuke silently cleaned up her wounds, and put the bandages over them. Kagome was still out cold, Sasuke figured that Kagome wouldn't wake up for quite a while, considering the damage she took from her heart-attack.
Now that the bandaging was done, Sasuke walked back over to her bag, and he dug through. Eventually. . .he found her locket and torn up picture of the squad. Sasuke took each of them, and snuck over to the small side table. He fiddled around with both the locket and picture, opening the pendant, and messing with the photo.
Soon enough, after time passed, he closed the locket, and lied it on the side table for a moment. He then looked around. . .
'Just one more thing. . .'
Sasuke searched until he found a pad of paper and a pen. He wrote for a short amount of time, then tore the paper from the pad, placed the necklace over it, and folded the paper until it was a thick square. Sasuke scribbled one last thing on the top of the square, and then walked over to Kagome. He took her right hand and held it open, placed the small package on her palm, and then clasped her fingers gently over it, closing her hand.
He was finished. . . Sasuke completed all his tasks. Now all he could do was take a few looks at her, before it was time to take off.
His body bent down to her level on the couch, and his hand rested upon her forehead. Sasuke stroked her skin with his thumb, and he looked at her rested expression.
"Kagome. . ." he whispered, "I wish I could, but. . ." he then knelt closer to her, his face edging near, and Sasuke's lips brushed on the side of her cheek above a bandage, "I have to take care of things first. . ."
He heard Kagome whine in her sleep, she was still in pain. Sasuke took one last moment to kiss her one last time. He softly kissed Kagome's lips, then her forehead, and he stood up, his hands removing themselves from her face.
After one last look, Sasuke whispered. . .
"Goodbye. . ."
And with that, Sasuke quickly left out the window, closing it slowly, and dashing off back to the layer's location. . . He still had business to take care of.
He traveled far and soon. . .Sasuke was gone. Kagome was left deeply asleep in the warm confines of her previous home.
------------------------
". . .K-Kagome?"
"What? Did you just say Kagome? Where is she?!"
"Over here. . . She's on the couch."
The morning sun came fast and shone brightly into the Hatake apartment, the rays brightly reflecting on Kagome's skin. Her eyes were still shut, and she remained in slumber.
The silver-haired man, Kakashi, stood near her, his eyes wide opened. He beckoned to Kagura, who quickly ran into the room. Her mouth practically dropped, and she skipped a breath.
"How did she get here?" She asked.
"I. . .don't know. She looks like she was hurt. . ." Kakashi examined Kagome's bandages.
"Arashi told me that she left. . .it must have been to Orochimaru. . ." Kagura knelt down to Kagome, and she put her hand to her cheek.
A light moan escaped out of Kagome's mouth. Her eyes twitched, and her head turned sideways.
"Kagome, are you alright?" Kakashi knelt down as well.
"Wake up." Kagura requested.
"Wh-what?" Kagome's voice was quiet.
"Kagome, you're home, wake up."
Kagome took short breaths as her eyes slowly opened. At first, her vision was blurry, making it hard to see Kakashi or Kagura, but after a few seconds, they were clear to her. She looked curiously.
"How. . .How am I home?" she asked.
"We were about to ask you that." Kakashi answered, "I woke up this morning and found you lying here."
"Who took you back here?" Kagura asked.
"Took me. . .back?"
Kagome slowly sat up, she winced from a slight shot of pain, but she managed to sit up all the way. Her hand clenched, and she felt something in her palm. When she opened it, she noticed the small package in her hand. Her name was written on the top.
She didn't open it, just looked at it. Kagome tried to remember how she got to the apartment, but all she could remember. . .was what happened the other night. All she remembered was Orochimaru.
Orochimaru. . .
The battle!
". . .Sasuke?" Kagome whispered.
"Sasuke? You were with Sasuke?" Kakashi crossed his arms and looked down to Kagome, his look was of surprise.
"Y-yes, but. . ."
"Do you know where he is? Where Orochimaru may be?" Kagura stood up with Kakashi, "You're wearing his sound ninja clothes. . ."
"I-I. . .stayed there for a while. . .to get cured, but. . ."
"Where is Sasuke, then? You must know!"
Kagome was mute, and she shook her head negatively to the both of them.
Kakashi and Kagura gave looks of disappointment.
"Looks like we won't find him for a while. . . But at least we've got Kagome back."
"We thought you would be killed. . ." Kagura sighed, "We're certainly happy that you're home."
Kagome nodded her head positively now, and she stared down at her opened palm to the small package.
"Are you alright, Kagome?" Kakashi asked.
"I'm. . .glad to. . . Uhm. . ." Kagome was at a loss for words.
"Yes?"
"Can I please. . .have some time alone?"
Both Kakashi and Kagura looked to Kagome curiously, but both nodded to her.
"Sure." Kakashi said.
"Just call for me, and I'll get you some food, you look starved." Kagura then smiled to her, "We're glad you're home."
"Y-yeah. . ."
Kakashi and Kagura didn't waste another moment, they both walked to the kitchen past the living room, and left Kagome by herself.
Staring. . . Kagome looked at the white square in her hand. She took a while until she finally opened it. Once she had, the silver locket immediately slipped out and onto her lap, catching her attention for a short time. She didn't pick it up. . .but looked at the paper that was still in her hand.
She noticed the writing on it, and looked at it for a long time. It was a short note, but she read it over and over.
". . .Sasuke. . ."
Now I know,
That I can't make you stay.
But where's your heart?
But where's your heart?
But where's your,
And I know.
There's nothing I can say.
To change that part.
To change that part.
To change. . .
Her eyes were glued to the paper, but her body moved on its own. Kagome slipped herself out of the couch, letting her spare kimono top drift to the ground. She grasped the locket before it dropped to the ground, and held it in her opposite hand. Her eyes didn't leave the note, and her feet began to walk toward the window. . .
Finally, Kagome managed to look out the window. . .staring at the birds that flew by. Her mind was blank. . . She didn't know what to think, now knowing what was of now. . .
So many,
Bright lights they cast a shadow,
But can I speak?
Well is it hard understanding,
I'm incomplete?
A life that's so demanding,
I get so weak.
A love that's so demanding,
I can't speak.
Back and forth. . . Kagome looked from the note, to the window, to the locket. How was she to react?
She knew this was the end for now. . .but what to do?
Her eyes then stared at the note once again, looking at it as if she were trying to read a map. . .or put together a puzzle in her mind.
I am not afraid to keep on living,
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay I'll be forgiven,
Nothing you can say can stop me going home.
Yes. . . After her thinking. . . She knew what she had to think. . .what she had to say.
Kagome put down the necklace in her pocket for now, and she continued to hold onto the paper and she pulled her body up to the window, and she sat on the sill.
Her eyes closed, and she jumped out to the front yard. Once her feet touched the ground, she began to run to the streets. She ran and didn't stop. . .as if she were chasing after him. Her feet ran until they came to the fields, and then she stopped.
Her silver eyes opened, and stared up to the sky. A smirk then came upon her face.
"You. . .You are so predictable, you know that?!" She yelled, in blank hopes that Sasuke could hear.
Can you see? I am not afraid to keep on living,
My eyes are shining bright,
'Cause I'm out here, on the other side,
Of a jet black hotel mirror,
And I'm so weak.
Is it hard understanding?
I'm incomplete.
A love that's so demanding,
I get weak.
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay I'll be forgiven,
Nothing you can say can stop me going home.
Kagome took a deep breath, keeping from screaming anything more. Her body let itself fall to the grass, and she lied on her back, still staring at the sky. Her smirk didn't leave her face.
She laughed, "Damn. . ."
It was funny to her. . .she was going through the same thing that she went through a year ago with Sasuke. To her, she pictured it as Sasuke making it a habit to leave. Regardless of how funny it was to her, she still felt sad. . . But she understood.
Yes, it didn't make sense. . .but to her, it did. She was angry, yet neutral at the same time.
Kagome let her eyes close, and she let her smirk turn into a solemn smile, her mind began to think of what Sasuke may be doing now. . .if he was possibly thinking about her. She could practically hear his apology in her mind.
These bright lights have always blinded me. I say. I see you lying next to me,
These bright lights have always blinded me.
With words I thought I'd never speak,
Awake, and unafraid.
Asleep, or dead.
And as she heard his apology, she imagined him standing right next to her, speaking his sorry. . .
Kagome's body relaxed, and she let her imagination control herself. . .she pictured only Sasuke's face, and held on tightly to the note.
'Cause I see you lying next to me, 'Cause I see you lying next to me,
With words I thought I'd never speak,
Awake, and unafraid.
Asleep, or dead.
With words I thought I'd never speak,
Awake, and unafraid.
Asleep, or dead.
The wind was blowing gently. Grass drifted to nature's push. . .and the breeze brushed against the trees. Kagome felt the brush herself. . .and her mind was now deep in imagination. . .making the wind feel like the touch of a hand. . .
'Cause I see you lying next to me,
With words I thought I'd never speak,
Awake, and unafraid. . .
And when she felt that brush of wind as if it were the brush of a hand. . .she saw Sasuke. She saw him place his hand on her very arm, and look down to her with a smile as his hand slid down her forearm, to her own hand, his fingers intertwining with hers. Her smile became brighter.
I am not afraid to keep on living, I am not afraid to keep on living,
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay I'll be forgiven,
Nothing you can say can stop me going home.
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay I'll be forgiven,
Nothing you can say can stop me going home.
"Even though you aren't here. . .I still feel you. . ." Kagome whispered. She opened her eyes and sat up, taking the note in front of her and opening it again.
"I won't be sad. . ."
She read the writing once again. . .
I will keep my promise.
Don't cry.
I won't let you down this time. . .
Always and Forever, right?
-Sasuke
"You better keep your promise, Sasuke. . .because I'll be waiting. . .and I'll keep picturing you every day. . ."
Kagome folded up the note and placed it in her pocket. . . Now taking out the locket that she had before. She held the pendant in her hand, and curious, she opened it.
Her smile only became brighter as she looked inside.
And inside. . .was two sides, both containing a torn up picture put back together like a frail puzzle. One side contained Kagome looking to her left, and the other contained Sasuke, looking to his right. In the locket. . .they appeared to be looking at each other.
Kagome laughed softly, her head tilted forward as she closed her eyes and continued to smile. . .
-------------------
He stood beside a large rock beside a mountain, his head tilted forward, and a small smile on his face with his eyes closed. His arms were crossed, and he was relaxed happily.
"Hey, Sasuke, we going or what?" said a voice in front of him.
Sasuke's eyes opened and his smile faded. He looked before him, seeing a black-haired woman, a tall, muscular man, and a silver haired man with a large sword behind him. He nodded.
"Right, let's go."
All three before him nodded their heads once, and began to walk forward. Sasuke stayed behind for one second. He held out his left wrist slightly, and pulled his sleeve and glove back, looking to his silver bracelet, and the smile reformed on his face.
Sasuke caught up to the three before him, and they walked deep to the forest, he walked behind them, hiding his tiny smile.
"Just wait. . ." he whispered.
------------------
"I'll see you again one day. . . And I'll wait impatiently until that day comes." Kagome laughed, and she draped the necklace around her neck, and clipped it together.
She then let her arms stretch to her sides, and she fell to the grass yet again, her eyes shut, and her smile still there. She sighed and began to experience the rest that she hadn't had in a long time.
Owari. . .
And so, our tale takes a pause, a stop. . . It is so fascinating. . . How two who started with hating each other, grew a everlasting attachment. The two elements that warred for years and years, created a bond. Water and Fire managed to settle their differences. . . Their journey was long, and both changed in many ways, some changes were good, and some were bad, but in the end. . .it was the change of their hearts that was the most important.
Here we shall hope. . .that their hearts still stay attached, stay as one, and someday, hopefully, the two will be together again.
Until that time comes. . .one can only imagine.
Preview:
"We will find Sasuke!"
And so, the team continues to ban together in hope to find their friend.
Maturity
Change
The growth of the small ninja, who grew to true shinobi.
--------------
So, we have reached the closing of Naruto: The New Chronicles. I never thought that I would actually finish this story, but I believe it was you, the reader, who inspired me to move on. And I'm not trying to sound corny, and sugar coat things, lol. I am very serious. If it weren't for any of you, this would have been just another sketch of a story to throw into the dusty corner of my documents!
The song contained in this final chapter is called "Famous Last Words" by My Chemical Romance, and typed lyrics were provided by metrolyrics dot com. I did need to cut out part of the song, I belive it was because I had a hard time sequencing it. I really, really hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I actually almost started tearing up as I wrote this. Not just because of the situation. . .but because I've become so attached to this story over the two years that I made it up. I look forward to the sequel, and I hope that you all read it! Also, the fight with Sasuke and Orochimaru is from the time-skip manga. I tried to remember it the best I could and write it with my own style and my own touches!
As I have reported in my profile, I am requesting suggestions on the title of the next edition. Please send me your input. I hope that the final prelude to the story gave you a short idea. It was a small preview, but I had to be blunt, I still have a lot of rough-drafting to do!
Thank you all so much! I really enjoyed all of your reviews and input on the story! Please check out my profile for news and details about various subjects such as the story, and one contest that I have posted!
Until next time, my friends!
Huge Hugs,
Ninja Chan
