I know what you're thinking. "Finally, the last chapter." Ha-ha. But really, I am ecstatic, however, because this was my first fan fiction ever written and it's finally posted where other people can read it! Wahoo! So, here's the last chapter *sob*....
17) In Which Yui Comes and Finds Miaka Under the Tree
* * *
Megan, Katey, and Tiffany sat around Megan's computer, eating take-out pizza. "You saved her?" Katey asked incredulously.
Megan nodded. "It wasn't in my story line to have her walk in front of the spirit bomb and get killed. Hell, I didn't even know Nakago was going to get so upset and actually throw the spirit bomb."
"Yeah, well, if Miaka was stupid enough to walk in front of Nakago's energy balls, then she deserves to be killed."
"Gee, you guys really don't like her, do you?" Tiffany asked.
"I don't like her, but I don't think she should get killed. Besides, I have my reasons." Megan replied.
"What are they?" Tiffany asked, curious.
"One. This parody is rated PG ."
Katey laughed and almost choked on pizza.
"Don't die, Katey," Megan said as Katey sat trying to breathe, "I don't want to have to perform the Heimlich and if you die then the story won't be PG ."
Katey dislodged the piece of food in her windpipe, then looked at Megan. "PG?"
"Well, there is some violence, but it's like Power Rangers kicking the bad guy's butt..." Tiffany and Katey looked at her with raised eyebrows. "Only better," she quickly added.
"I don't think Power Rangers was the right thing to compare this parody to," Tiffany said.
"So what's your second reason for saving Miaka?" Katey asked.
"I wanted to put my story on the Internet. I can't do that if I had killed Miaka."
"Why not?"
"Then I'd be getting a whole bunch of letter bombs from people who actually like Miaka."
Tiffany and Katey nodded. "True, true."
"And," Megan added, "it would ruin my reputation as a parody writer. "'Someone got killed in her story' all the anime characters would say. 'You don't want to be in her story.'"
Tiffany looked at Megan. "You mean you wouldn't feel guilty? No remorse?"
"Oh, and that, too." Megan said thoughtfully. She reached for the pizza box.
"Anyone want the last piece of pizza?" Megan asked. Tiffany and Katey shook their heads.
"Okay," Megan said, "back to the story."
Munching on the piece of pizza, Megan once again began typing, with Tiffany and Katey watching her.

Miaka sat up, rubbing the side of her head. "What happened?" she asked herself. "Where's ---" Miaka stopped speaking. She looked around her. She was not at the clearing surrounded by Nakago or Nuriko or Megan or Katey or Tasuki or anyone else. She was sitting under her favorite tree.
"I guess I must have fallen asleep," Miaka said. "And then I woke up when I hit my head on this exposed tree root." She pondered this for a few minutes. "That's really weird. It was so real." She sat at the base of the tree, thinking about this for several minutes.
That was how Yui, Miaka's best friend, found Miaka.
"Earth to Miaka!" she called out, waving her hands in front of Miaka's face. Miaka blinked.
"Oh, hi Yui!" she said.
"Miaka, have you been sitting out here all this time? Your brother's looking for you. You promised to meet him, remember?"
"Keiske's looking for me?"
Yui nodded. "Come on, Miaka."
Miaka got up and followed Yui. "Hey, Yui!" she yelled, "I had this really weird dream! I dreamt that I was following this guy named Tamahome and..."
Megan appeared underneath the tree, followed by Tiffany and Katey.
"Well, I finally finished my parody," Megan said.
"Hey, Megan," Tiffany said, "can we go and see the Suzaku seishi?"
Megan nodded. "I don't see why not."
Megan snapped her fingers and the three girls' clothes changed to ancient Chinese-style attire.
The three walked down the path towards the Konan Empire.
But that's another story.
The End!! Finally!! Ok, this is your last chance to write a review for me. Come on, you know you want to, at least to tell me to stop harassing my readers for reviews. Please? Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my story. I have others too, which aren't quite as long, if you're looking for something else to read. And if you like my stories, remember to tell others about them. Thanks to all those who read and enjoyed it!
Megan
