A/N: this is the last chapter I am going to write on this story, SO READ IT
and of course, review, because writers who write strange, lame, crappy
stories that have dumb endings need people to review so they can do better
next time (not making any promises there). I also found out that it wasn't
a shukeshen, it was a shukusen. That put me off writing for a while.
By the way, Step, you don't know just how right you are.
* I don't own the characters. I own the depressing story I put them in.*

Chapter 3. Neal ends up. Well, in quite a bad state.
Neal refused to touch the shukusen after that last episode. It stayed in a desk drawer, untouched for at least a fortnight. To look at it frightened him, even being in the same room as it frightened him out of his brains. So he spent as little time as possible in his rooms, spending the bulk of his time with his friends and in the library. But at night, it was a different matter altogether. he had to sleep in his rooms, and he had several nightmares each night because of the shukusen's presence. It was a very horrible fortnight.
During that time he also avoided Yuki, Kel, and Alanna. He was actually ashamed of himself, for once in his life. It was very surprising.
Well, let's now get to the point of the whole story. One day Neal felt drawn to the shukusen. Very, very drawn to it. He felt a strange, insane need to go take it out of its drawer. So he did. He did exactly that.
He took it out. To his uttermost surprise, the foreign fan was glowing a steady green. A steady, sickening green that made him want to put it down. But he didn't. it was like that his hands were stuck to the fan or something, but he just couldn't remove them. After all his years of magical learning and practice, he had never heard of such a kind of magic. He thought, and I thought Wild Magic was complicated enough.
Suddenly it felt like as if the fan was doing something to his brain. It felt like a good idea to plunge the fan into his chest, even while he knew that the fan was evil. But he did it anyway. He did exactly that.
He plunged into his chest, right where his heart was. Well, let's see, the tip of the fan wasn't nearly long enough to kill him, but inspired by magic it did kill him. the pain. Imagine that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***************~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~
So the next time anyone saw anything of Neal was an hour or so after that, when their noses picked up a foul scent emanating from his chambers. So the people rushed inside, and found him lying on the floor, a shukusen stuck in his chest. There were mixed emotions about his death. Some people cheered, they really hated the shape of his nose, some were neutral, they felt neutral about the shape of his nose, and some sobbed very hard, they loved the shape of his nose. All in all, it was quite an eventful day for them. The palace servants enjoyed stealing all his valuables. His father was a Duke, after all.
His friends had mixed emotions too. Kel was sad because she never had the change to tell him that she loved him, Cleon was happy because his competition was gone (obviously he wasn't thinking properly -- there was still Dom), and the rest felt neutral because they felt neutral about the shape of his nose. And Yuki? I think she ran away.
The End

Yes, yes, I know that was a crappy chapter, but that's just my opinion, and I wont know yours until you review. So please do that, OK? By the way, please don't ask me where Yuki went. I have no idea.
