A/N: Hey everyone! I'm glad to bring you yet another chapter
of "Flesh and Blood". Sadly, this s the last chapter of this
story. But never worry, I'm pretty sure I'll make a Flesh and
Blood II. But, if everyone just really hates the idea of
another story, I won't write it. So, anyway, enjoy and all
that jazz. Oh, and I want reviews. A lot of reviews, please.
A great Thank you to everyone who reveiwed and to my fellow FanFiction writters who gave me a few hints. Believe you me, this is not going to be my last . Much love, people.

With a sigh, Korin slowly knocked on Ian's door. Her cloths where soaking wet from the rain. She shivered a little as she waited for Ian to open the door. The rain had stoped fallen after she had left the park but she was still cold. At last, Ian opened the door and smiled when he saw Korin.
"Korin," Ian said. "Oh, thank goodness. " He hugged her and smiled. "Oh I was so worried, Korin." Korin felt guilt start inside her. The last thing she had wanted was to make Ian worry. But, heck, if it got her a hug...
"I'm so sorry, Ian." Korin said, tears filling her eyes. "I didn't mean to worry you... or to try and hurt..." She stopped as she looked at the cut on his cheek. She placed her hand there. "Oh my word, Ian, did I... did I do that to you?" Ian looked at the floor and pulled away from her touch. He nodded. Korin gasped a little. "Oh, Ian, I never wanted to hurt you! I didn't mean it at all! I swear! I would never hurt you! I'm... I'm so sorry. I'm sorry about everything! About hurting you, about hurting Sara, about breaking my promise to you."
"Korin," Ian said placing his hand on her shoulders. "It wasn't you doing all those things. It was Irons, using you to do what he wanted."
"But I killed Irons!" Korin whispered. "I killed him after I told you I wouldn't... oh my word, Ian, what are we going to do?! They are going to know Irons is dead! How on earth am I going to get out of this?" Ian smiled a little half smile.
"It's all taken care of, dear. I already called the police. They came and I told them that Sara had come over to meet with Irons and when we went into the study he was gone and all we found of him was this note." Ian smiled at the look of shock in Korin's face. "They think he ran off with a girl named Terry who he is going to marry and move to Africa with." Korin's mouth hung open a little.
"But... won't they know the note wasn't real?" Korin asked. Ian shook his head.
"I've been able to copy Irons' hand-writing for the past two years." Ian's smile grew wider. "They'll never know it wasn't him." Korin shook her head and smiled.
"You son of a gun." Korin said. "But what about his body? And the blood?"
"I told you I took care of everything, didn't I?" Ian kissed her four head. "Irons' body is underground where no one can find it and his blood that was on the floor is nowhere to be seen. You see, Korin, I took care of everything and nothing bad will happen."
"Ian... you did all that for me?" Korin felt her heart beat faster. She couldn't believe he had risked so much for her. She smiled. Oh yeah, this was one of the many reasons she loved this man. "Oh, Ian!" Korin threw her arms around him and held him. Ian smiled and held Korin close. "I love you, Ian Nottingham." Korin said with a smile.
"I love you too, Korin Irons." Ian whispered in her ear. Korin's eyes widened.
"You... you do?" She said looking him in the eye. "You really love me?" Ian smiled.
"With all my heart and soul, I do." Ian said. He knew he did, too. Over the past few weeks he had grown to love Korin... well, the real Korin anyway. Ian smiled and Korin smiled back. She looked at the floor blushing a little.
"Um..." Korin hated to mess up such a wonderful moment but she had to talk to Ian about the Blade. "I was wondering if we could talk for a bit." She looked up into Ian's caring eyes. He smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, yeah of course, Korin." Ian said. "Um... where do you want to talk?" He asked. Korin smiled and took his hand.
"Fallow me." Korin said pulling lightly on Ian's arm and leading him down the hallway. They went on until they came to a door, which opened up to show a flight of narrow stairs. Korin and Ian walked up the stairs with Korin still in front holding Ian's hand. Once at the top of the stairs, Korin opened a door that lead out to the roof. Ian smiled as he looked around. The clouds in the sky had cleared away bringing out the brightly shinning stars. There was only one spot on the roof that was flat and Ian and Korin had found out long ago about this place and used to sit up there when they where kids. He looked up at the stars then back to Korin who was smiling.
"Do you remember this place?" Korin asked Ian nodded.
"Yeah, I do." Ian said. "I remember very much. This is where you want to talk?" Korin nodded. She sat down and patted the spot next to her. Ian sat facing her. Korin sighed.
"I've been thinking about the Blade." Korin began. "About the evil... and the good it holds. I've not known what the Blade should be used for, good or evil. That is, I didn't until now." Korin let out another sigh. "I was given a vision from the Blake Blade. And in my vision, the Blade told me many things. The first was that it would always be with me." Ian nodded and allowed Korin to go on. "She also told me that whatever I wanted to use her for is what she would be."
"Meaning...?" Ian asked.
"Meaning that if I choice to wield the Blake Blade for good, then the Blade will forever be good, and if I use it for evil... well, you get my meaning."
Ian nodded. "What else did the Blade tell you?" He asked. Korin felt herself blush a little.
"She said that my lover would always be with me." She looked Ian in the eye. He looked back.
"That lover being me, correct?" Ian asked a little worried. Korin laughed a little.
"Yes you, silly." Korin hit Ian's arm lightly. "Ian... the Blade thinks-knows--that we are meant to be." She moved a little closer to Ian. "She said that we would be together. In this life and in the lives of the new Blake Blade wielders." Ian pressed his four head up against Korin's and looked into her eyes. "She said that-" Korin felt her heart beat and her breath sharpen as she gazed into her love's eyes.
"She said what?" Ian asked almost knowing the answer.
"She said that we would be lovers... for... all... time." They closed the space between them and let there lips brush together. Korin felt her heart beat slow a little though mind was racing. She had never felt sure a loving embrace and such a warm lust all at once. It only lasted a few moments but it was the most wonderful thing either of them had ever felt. Korin bit her lip and smiled up at Ian who smiled back.
"Umm... did you want to go inside?" Ian asked. Korin shook her head.
"I'd like to stay up here for a bit, if it's ok with you." Korin said.
"Sure." Ian said lying down on his back to look up at the brightly shinning stars. Korin lay her head next to his and smiled.
"Look," Korin said pointing up to the sky. "See, that's the Big Dipper, that's Orrin, and that's-"
"Cannes Major," Ian finished with a smile. "I remember when we spent that one summer every night up here learning each of the constellations just for fun." Korin laughed a little.
"Remember the night Jason found us up here and we had to pay him twenty bucks so he wouldn't tell Irons on us?" Korin and Ian laugh together.
"Yeah, it was funny because he thought we where making out up here." Ian laughed. Korin giggled. "What now?" Ian asked.
"I just thought f something," Korin laughed. "We where just making out up here." Ian laughed, too.
"Wow, I hadn't thought of it like that." Ian smiled and brushed away some of Korin's hair from her face. "Do you remember where everything else is?"
"Hmm..." Korin looked up at the stars. "Well, I see the Little Dipper... but I don't remember the other ones... will you show them to me?" She gave Ian the puppy dog-face making him laugh out load.
"OK, now lets see which ones I can remember." Ian began to list off the constellations one by one out there in the cool night air. Korin began to slowly fall asleep. About an hour later, Ian looked down at his sleeping beauty with a smile. He picked her up and carried her to her room. He lay her down on her bed and pulled the covers over her. He smiled down at her and kissed the top of her head. Then he turned to leave.
As he was walking away, he felt Korin's hand grab his wrist. Ian turned around to see that Korin was still fast asleep. He looked down at his wrist and saw Korin's Blade hand holding it. He smiled. "You want me to stay with her?" He asked. The Blade gave a low hum. Ian smiled and crawled into the bed. He pulled Korin's back to his chest and breathed in her warm sent. He lay one hand across her waist and, smiling, fell fast asleep.
The two lovers lay there dreaming. Both of them smiled in there deep dreamless sleep. The room was silent but for the soft humming of a "dark" Blade that was happy with the two. It knew the love they had would face danger and near death, but as long as they had each other, the Blade would be happy. So on the two slept with the Blade keeping away the dreams.
