Yin-yang

You know, it's a good thing thanks are not like rental's. Because if they were, I would have

one hell of a late fee. I have been meaning to say thanks to all my reviewers and now I finally

remember to do it. So here's the full list.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fanficgirl1: He or she was my first review and that allowed me to take the story past 2

chapters

Jemmi-grace: my second reviewer gave me a good compliment on my skills. Without that, I

wouldn't have gotten better.

Reweye: Another great ego boost.

Njc-hotchick: I wasn't sure what she meant by 'where the heck is the story.' It's right there,

plain to see.

Erica: one of my first favorites.

Hacen: Dear God, is all I can say! No, I think I can say some more. This guy has been

reviewing my story for awhile, and every time, I manage to make the story better. All because of

him. It's really great to get a review like this. In fact when I got on the computer, the first thing I do

is see if I have a new review from him. Not only is he a great reviewer, but he's a damn good writer!

His stories, "The road to where we are" and "Madeline" are absolutely awesome! Complete

masterpieces in my view! Check them out, and give him damn good credit!

Colegree654: Finally! Somebody who, other than Hacen, likes my different plost!

Devillatina42069: A simple, yet appreciated, review.

Kikikimamama: I am so sorry. One day I got bored, having just updated my story and

reading all the others, that I just typed in my own review to my own story. Tell me, is that wrong?

Crazygurl1052004: She gave me a good review and somehow saw ahead to one of my

future chapters with her idea.

Dacia3: Basic review.

Hey cool: It's one thing to have somebody read your story. It's another thing entirely to have

a pro L/G fan read and like a story with very little L/G.

Y do u care: Thanks for the ego boost.

Jess: Thanks for making sure I wasn't skiving on the fluff. I wouldn't do that, now would I?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, that's about it. I covered everyone and gave thanks for their support. Now read the

story and enjoy. Also, do you think I should make a sequel to this? I would really like to but I'm not

sure if every one else would want to.

Angela Sue McKader died March 22, in her home in Hillridge, California. She was 19 years

old. Eric had never felt so empty in his whole life. Now he had lost both his mother and his sister. To

murder and suicide. He felt like his life was being controlled by some freak with nothing better to

do. He couldn't face this. He wanted to die. All the time taken to open him up to the world was all

for nothing. When this happened, he shut himself off again. He felt he had nothing. That couldn't be

farther from the truth. He still had his dad and dog. He still had his new dojo students. He still had

Lizzie, and that was enough compensation for his mother and sister. But he also still had to deal with

one more thing...

Part of me

Linkin park

www.linkin-parkworld.com audio page

Eric was walking through the outdoor auditorium, when an old voice, an old enemy called

out his name.

"Eric James McKader!"

Eric knew of only 5 people who knew his middle name. 4 of them were his family. The other

was...

"Nick."

Nicholas Mayer strode up to his old x-friend and proceeded to attack. Verbally.

"Heard your sister kicked the bucket. Too bad she died a virgin. She would have used a

good bangin."

"Shut up."

"And I also heard that Kate slit her wrist. Good thing she's alive, cause I'm going to get her

to love me once and for all."

Wether Nick knew what he was doing or not, was starting to look moot at best. Eric was just

standing there, his fists clenched so tight that he was making them bleed slightly. You could have

looked in his eyes and seen the pure hatred, forged by circumstance and sadness. He looked

murderous.

And just so ya know, she'll stay with me for a long time. She'll have to cause she won't be

able to go a week without me in her."

Nick laughed viciously at his cruel joke. But he wasn't done yet.

"You know what? Your nothing. So was your sister. So was your mother. And I have

someone here who agree's with me."

Eric was about to strike, when another voice from his past came back to haunt him.

"Eric."

"Carla?!"

There she was, just standing there like they were still friends. She had changed. She had

gotten taller and her hair was longer. And although he tried not to look, he noticed that her breasts

had also swelled considerably. He took a step forward, only to be kicked back by Nick. Because he

was too busy looking at her, Eric couldn't prepare for the kick. So when it landed, Eric was pretty

sure that it was his ribs that he had heard crack.

"See, your not the only one who took fighting lessons. Now let's see how well you do with

me."

They began

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eric was fast and was relying on his power and strength to best Nick. But Nick was using his

speed to avoid him. For every hit that Eric missed, Nick got twofold. Nick was killing him. Eric

couldn't fight back. He wasn't centered. It seemed one sided, until Eric's anger kicked him into

overdrive. He got back on his feet and proceeded to hit him with everything he had. And he still

missed. Nick waited until Eric was out of breath, then he kicked hid feet out from under him,

leaving him completely defenseless.

"Nick, you said you wouldn't hurt him."

"I lied bitch, now stay out of this."

He looked down at Eric. He had blood coming from his mouth and nose. He was gasping for

air. In that moment, Eric knew he had failed. But then, she appeared.

"Eric!"

'Lizzie?'

Lizzie had heard about a fight in the auditorium. When she got there she didn't expect to see

Eric. When Eric saw her, he felt revitalized. He got up while Nick was looking at Lizzie. When

Nick turned around, he got a kick to the head. Hard. Nick collapsed to the ground. That kick carried

in it, all of the anger, sadness, power, speed, fury, and loathing that Eric had harbored all these years.

With power like that, it's hard not to fall. Eric slowly started limping over to Lizzie. He had gotten

only a few feet when he registered a gunshot rip through the air. He looked down to where he felt a

small tap on his chest, only to see blood coming out of his brand new gunshot wound.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lizzie saw Eric fall to his knees after seeing the bullet wound. She couldn't believe that this

kid would fight hand-to-hand with Eric and then shoot him when he lost. Thankfully, he didn't shoot

a second time. Ethan saw to that. He ran in and did the very same thing that Eric had done to him.

He broke Nick's hand. Not in 3 places. But he broke it nonetheless. The school called the

ambulance and had Eric rushed to the hospital. The doctor's said that the bullet had hit Eric in the

shoulder and missed his heart by 5 inches. It was close. Eric would have to stay in the hospital for

some time.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Eric woke up, the memories of what happened flew by him in a matter of seconds. He

looked around the room he was in. He was obviously in a hospital. He then noticed Lizzie, Kate,

Miranda, Ethan, Larry, and Matt were all asleep in the room. Miranda and Matt were cuddling

under a blanket in a chair in the far corner of the room. Kate and Ethan were on the couch in the

room in a position that was intimate but innocent. Larry was on a chair, with his mouth open, his

tongue lolling out to the side. Lizzie was in a chair right next to the bed, her head laying on the bed

next to Eric's legs. Eric looked at her, and wanted to raise her head up and kiss her on the lips. He

didn't. Lizzie was the first to wake up. She looked around groggily, and then saw Eric was awake.

"Sleep well, Lizzie?"

"Yeah." She then laid her head back down to sleep. Eric grinned. Lizzie's head shot back up

once she fully realized what had just transpired.

"Not much of a morning person are you?"

"Eric's awake! Eric's awake!"

"Lizzie calm down."

But her yelling had awoken all the others. They too noticed that their teacher and friend was

awake. They immediately crowded around him, waiting for him to say something.

"What's a guy got to do to get some food around here?"

While it's shorter than I normally type, it was fun anyway. Remember, tell me if you think I

should do a sequel. Till next time... kikiki... mamama... kikiki... mamama...
