Part sixteen: The Ending
A/N: here you go..just read it.
Chuei frowned as he left the house, slinging a backpack over his shoulder. It had been three years since he had last see the girl he loved and still refused to see anyone else, despite his sister's efforts to hook him up with her friends. Well, now he was going off to his first day of collage on a scholarship, and things would be better.
He stopped to get the paper at the end of the driveway and looked over at the next-door house curiously. A family had moved in the week before, but he hadn't had time to say hello. Things had been busy what with his sister moving out to live with her fiancé Mako, they would both be at a different college than him (Chiharu on a softball scholarship), but that was ok. He could do without them always hanging on each other for a change. He would have plenty of time to think about Jielain, especially since he had quit baseball. After he came back, he just didn't have the heart. His mom was disappointed, but she understood. When he returned without the bandit girl, heartbroken, both parents mourned as if it was the end of the world. He would probably be alone forever. Even Kourin and Chiriko had each other.
Chuei's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of yelling coming from an open window of the house next door. "Where the hell did all my breakfast go!" a female voice screamed. "Dad!? Did you eat it!!!" a male voice answered.
"You shoulda been quicker! Tell yer ma to fix ya some more!"
"I gotta leave or I'll miss the bus! Damn you!" Another female voice entered the conversation.
"Dear! I told you I'd make you breakfast later!" Suddenly a door slammed and a figure appeared on the porch. Chuei averted his gaze, not wanting the person to think he was listening. He walked by, glancing at the person, then stopped short.
The figure was a girl, with bright orange-red hair and blue eyes like clear water. She had her hair pulled into a ponytail and was dressed in some baggy blue jeans and a sports jacket, worn sneakers clomping on the driveway. She frowned at Chuei and continued down the street.
"The bus stop is the other way." Chuei said with a smile. The girl turned to face him and smiled curiously, with a fang poking out puzzledly.
"Oh, thanks. Do I know you?" She asked. Chuei started.
"Oh, no sorry. You look like an old friend, I'm Chuei, your next door neighbor." The girl grinned and began walking in the correct direction to the bus stop beside him.
"My name is Jielain Ryuuen Kou. Ya look familiar but I dunno where I saw you." Chuei held back a gasp. Could it really be her? If it was, then was her father here and alive too?
"I heard some commotion, is everything alright with your family?" He noticed Jielain scowling.
"Awww that was just my dad. He ate my whole breakfast mom made. Dumb ass." She grinned at Chuei though.
"Ya know, I remember you from some weird dreams I been having. Don't think I'm some kinda weirdo or nothing." She blushed. "I dun normally talk to people right when I meet em. I just feel like I know ya."
Chuei smiled. She would remember him sooner or later. "That's alright. Would you like to come over to my house with your family for dinner, as a sort of welcome thing?" She nodded, blushing. This boy was so nice and he didn't even know her! Well, she thought she didn't. She looked at him, tilting her head and squinting. She hadn't ever felt comfortable around boys and all through high school never had a boyfriend. She was a tomboy, a rebel. No boys were ever interested in her either. Suddenly, she felt a flash of familiarity and saw him dressed as a Chinese warrior.
"Hell yeah." She said, and then blushed. "I mean, sure." Chuei just laughed. She was still the same old Jielain.
And they all ended up happily ever after. ^^ The end.
