One month after the defeat of Nemesis, Kuro sent invitations out to the ones that had aided in the defeat of the god, for a party to celebrate the return of a destruction free world.
Of course, everyone would be coming.
Kuro wasn't surprised when her brother and Wang Hu Zhong arrived first. She was surprised to see Christina- who had tagged along with her to the airport- rushed into Bao's arms and greeted him with a kiss on the cheek.
"When they'd get together?" Kuro asked Aguma as he helped her load the bags into the bed of the truck.
"Been keeping it a secret from you." Aguma shrugged, "Christina didn't want you to force her to be with Bao- she likes it here. Truthfully, I think he's thinking about moving out here."
"Well, I'd be more than happy to let him in- you too if you decide to come." Kuro smirked.
"Maybe I will." Aguma smiled back- it was almost flirtatious, and it made Kuro's cheeks heat up.
When Excaliber arrived, Julia tagged along. Almost instantly, she began picking on her brothers.
"So, you know what it's gonna be?" Kuro asked Sophie as she took the woman's bags for her.
"Twins- two girls." Sophie rubbed her stomach, where a slight bulge was now visible.
"I bet Wales had a heart attack when you told him." Kuro snickered.
"I haven't told him yet. I will though. Soon." Sophie smiled back.
When the Americans arrived, Kanji was with Kuro, and she became involved in keeping her brother and Masamune in check.
"They are a lively bunch, aren't they?" Kuro asked Toby.
"Lively? They drive me and Zeo crazy day in, day out!" Toby threw his hands in the air, exasperated.
Kuro laughed.
Next was Wild Fang, and the Mist Mountain group. Nefertiti and Ishi- Ryuko came with Kuro.
Ishi- Ryuko nearly threw a fit when she saw Lily arm in arm with Kakeru- Kuro didn't know why. The girl wasn't even related to her in any way.
"How long?" Kuro asked Kyoya as he helped with the bags.
"He finally got his guts together about two weeks ago." Kyoya chuckled.
"Amazing how good he is in battle, but helpless with girls."
"Agreed."
GanGan Galaxy was next, and Kuro had to smile when she saw Washi hand in hand with Yvone, under the watchful eye of his brother, of course.
Madoka was in arms with Gingka and Kuro could only nod, glad the redhead had finally gained that courage.
"Days or weeks?" Kuro asked Tsubasa, who was still watching his brother and Yvone, who were talking quietly a few feet away.
"Who?"
"Gingka and Madoka, and your brother and Yvone."
"My brother? Almost as soon as we got back to Japan. Gingka? A few days ago."
"Well, good riddance."
Tsubasa actually smiled, a true one at that.
When Kuro arrived with GanGan Galaxy at the palace, she noted Chris and Christina were in deep discussion, with Bao watching on amusedly.
Almost as soon as he jumped from the Jeep bed, Ryuto was challenged by Kakeru to a Bey battle. The younger Katashi agreed- so long as it was a tag team in a fated match up of Tategami vs. Katashi.
Kuro rolled her eyes as Kyoya and Ryuga began trash talking each other as they ran for a stadium.
That one would result in a few injuries.
Kuro had just finished setting up the stero equipment in the courtyard for Christina's performance when said blonde said her brother would be singing the opening song with her. Kuro nodded and pulled another mic out, amused to see the ex- Blader for hire on stage and singing, on top of that.
Night time fell, and the music started, with the spotlights on the Cadelle siblings.
Christina began.
I'm American made Bud Lite, Chevrolet
My momma taught me wrong from right
Chris was next, a smile crossing his face as he sang.
I was born in the South
Sometimes I have a big mouth
When I see something that I don't like
Both sang.
I gotta say it.
The teams began getting up and dancing as the music pulsed through the speakers.
So, Kuro mused over her Pepsi, We defeated Nemesis, saved the world from eternal devestation, formed new friendships, alliances, and partnerships, fixed broken relationships in families, and even created relationships of love... What didn't we do, I wonder?
And Kuro smiled as she relized what they didn't do in the midst of all the past eight years of chaos.
Nothing.
Me: I'm not gonna cry... *sniffles* Okay I'm gonna cry! *Bawls eyes out*
Bao: *sweatdrop* Excuse Shadow while she cries about ending this story.
Me: Oh, sorry about that people! It's just that this is my first story I've gotten to fifty plus chapters with and I'm so happy with the support I got with it! Thank you GalaxyPegasus14, bunnywarriorprincess, Dequincy and anyone who favorited this story!
Now, this IS the last chapter, but I wanna know what you guys think. Should I make a sequel or what?
Bao: Sequel?! No sequel! I barely survived in this story! Everyone vote no!
Me: Shut up, or I'll send Chris after you.
Bao: Why Chris?
Me: He did threaten you if you hurt his sister... I can only imagine what he'd do.
Bao:... AGUMA HIDE ME! *runs off with Chris in hot pursuit*
Me: *snickers* Well, say if you want a sequel or not! Oh, song featured is Real Gone by Sheryl Crow. Until next story, ciao! *Exits in search of Bao and Chris, popcorn in hand*
