Yin-yang

FF.net must not be allowing people to review as I haven't gotten one in a while. Either that

or you people don't care about what happen's in my stories. Not to be mean or anything but I can't

write this story unless I get good reviews. It's just the way it is. I hope you guy's will review when

you read this.

A couple of notes before we begin. In my last chapter, you might have noticed that Where

the song is, it looked a little funny. That's because there was actually two songs to listen to, and

FF.net compressed them together. The song choices were:

All that's left

Thrice

All that's left.

OR

Pardon me

Incubus

Make yourself

Those were your choices.

The other mistake was that I screwed up on the whole 3 months thing. I didn't mean to say

June. I meant to say March. Why I was thinking June, I don't know. But now that the mistake has

been rectified, we can move on.

Please not that this chapter has some sexual suggestions and an actual sex scene. You have

been forewarned.

On My Own(sung by Eric)

The Used

The Used

"The worst prison is a closed heart."

Seen on random church board by author.

Ethan Craft, handsome but dim, had just woken up. He had a great feeling today. He felt...

horny. He always felt horny in the mornings. Mind you, this is the boy who would probably do

anything to have some great sex. He did what pretty much any horny boy who had no easily

accessible woman did, though because of my morale standards, I cannot repeat it. ( A/N But I think

you can guess what he did. Here's a hint. It involves your right hand. Now that you do know, please

wash your mind out before you continue.) When he was finished, he went downstairs, ate breakfast,

and left the house. He had wanted to ask Lizzie when Eric was coming back, but just then he saw

Parker McKenzie. He had a thing for her that stretched to before he had ever met Kate. He pretty

much did what came natural for him. Flirt. And the end result was a punch in the gut. Parker had a

wicked punch. Ethan was on the ground, coughing. He never knew that she could hit that hard.

Ethan's trouble's were minor when stacked against Kate's. Lizzie had been at her house for

about an hour last month, extracting any and all info she could get from her. When she was finished,

she had a lot to tell Eric. How Kate's step dad would beat her, how he smoked, and drank. Even how

Kate had been contemplating suicide. Eric was right about Kate being in trouble. But he could not

have seen this coming. Lizzie had never known Kate to have suicidal tendencies, but she had them.

She just hoped Eric was back before Kate did something stupid.

Speaking of our illustrious hero, in Tokyo, Japan, Eric was hoping that he wouldn't have to

deal with this idiotic couple for long. He had been staying at his sensei's house for the past month,

and was enjoying his stay. But that was before his sensei's son came home. The boy was about 27

years old and was married to his old girlfriend. He was rather attractive with his trim figure,

handsome face, and muscles. However, Eric remembered when he was rather puny. He was 10 at the

time he had last seen Kim Moriyama. His first impression of him was that he resembled a spaghetti

noodle. He was small, weak and no sense of balance whatsoever. But what baffled Eric the most was

how the bumbling idiot had 3 woman chasing after him. And he chose the girl that had landed him

in the hospital! Then he remembered that Jun had stayed by Kim the whole time and had never left

his side. He hoped he could find a girl like that. A girl that would never leave him even in his lowest

times. He knew the likelihood of that was rather slim, so he never held his breath for it. But that

didn't mean he didn't like them. They were brash, and had no regards for normal people. They were

always groping each other, trying to get it on. Finally last night, Eric had had enough.

"Look, if your going to keep doing that, do it in your room!"

"Really?"

"Yes!"

"Thanks!"

"Yeah, don't mention it."

He regretted telling them that about an hour later when there were screams coming from

Kim's bedroom. He heard praises to God that Eric was pretty certain, had nothing to do with the

Bible. He wished that it was March 3rd already. That was when he was scheduled to go back with

the council member. He couldn't wait to see his new students. He missed them all so bad. But he

really missed Lizzie the most. Wait. Did he just say that he missed them? He did. He actually missed

them. He was shocked to hear himself thinking that, but it was the truth. He laid back down and,

before he fell into his normal nightmare, he really wished it were March 3rd already.

Fast forward to February, a moving truck had just pulled into the driveway of a house that

had once been occupied by Frankie Muniz for the short time he was in Hillridge. The boy sitting

inside the truck remembered this with a pang of guilt at what he had done a year later.

Flash back to last year...

"Lizzie. We need to talk."

David "Gordo" Gordon had just sat down at a table in the Digital Bean with his girlfriend,

Lizzie McGuire. He had something to tell her that was chewing him up on the inside.

"Lizzie, I'm so sorry about this."

"About what?"

"About what I did to you."

"What?"

"Lizzie, I cheated on you."

"What?" she said, her voice cracking with tears.

"I cheated on you with Claire."

"Why?"

"I don't know why. It just happened. Lizzie, I am so sorry, can you forgive me?"

".........."

"Lizzie?"

"No. I can't. Gordo, you wasted your virginity on a slut. I wanted our first time to be with

each other. But now that isn't possible. Goodbye." At this, she left the table running, crying, and

wishing she had never met David Gordon.

Gordo remembered this all too well. He just hoped that he could make up for it.

Nicholas Mayer had never had to piss so bad in his entire life. He was at some rest stop out

side Carson City, Nevada. He had managed to convince Carla Sturbin, Eric's old flame, to drive

him out to Hillridge. She said she was doing it to get out of Ft. Campbell. Nick knew it was because

she really wanted to see Eric again. He also knew that, considering what happened between the two,

that Eric would just shoot down whatever offer she had. All the more reason to end Eric McKader's

life.

Once again, back to Eric. The last month had passed with nothing blowing up. Except for

Jun's lousy cooking. Eric didn't want to say she was a bad cook out of respect for her feelings. But

lately, he had resorted to faking a disease of some sorts, and coming back down for a midnight

snack. It was really grating to lie to a good person. But when the food is capable of killing whoever

eats it... yuck! The night that we visit him again, is a night of small festivity, as the happy, but

horny, couple have announced that Jun is with child. Eric couldn't resist saying it.

"What's it's name?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, what are you going to call it? If you can stop banging each other long enough to let it

come out."

"Shut it."

"Make me, Kim."

"Only too happy."

"Sit down you two."

"Yes honey."

"Pussy whipped."

"HEY!"

"Kim!"

Sensing an oncoming fight, Tetsujin decided now was the time for an intervention of sorts.

"Eric?"

"Yes, sensei?"

"How about some music?"

"Sure, let me get the record player."

"No. From you."

"Me?!"

"Yes, you."

Eric was bewildered. He hadn't played any songs for awhile. But he obeyed, and got his

guitar. When he came back, he wondered what song to play. He decided on the one he knew that

everyone here liked and knew in perfect English. The Used song, On My Own.

He tuned his guitar to the right notes and began to play:

See all those people on the ground

wasting time

I try to hold it all inside

but just for tonight

the top of the world

sitting here wishing

the things I've become

that something is missing

maybe I...

What do I know?

And now it seems that I have found

nothing at all

I wanna hear your voice out loud

slow it down, slow it down

without it all

I'm choking on nothing

It's clear in my head

and I'm screaming for something

knowing nothing is better than knowing at all

On My Own

Without it all

I'm choking on nothing

It's clear in my head

and I'm screaming for something

Knowing nothing is better than knowing at all

On My Own

When he finished, he got more requests, and played more of the songs he knew, like, Pretty

girl(The way) by Sugarcult, Story of the Year's Until the day I day, and even Green Day's Time of

your life(Good Riddance). He went bed sometime around 12, and fell asleep to the sounds of heavy

breathing 2 rooms over. Good night, Eric. Enjoy this peace. For when you return, you face turmoil

and hardship. Just remember to find your center and care for her.

Hope you have enjoyed the story so far. As I said, now Eric will face hardships. But I ain't

telling. Until next time... kikiki... mamama... kikiki... mamama...
