Chibi Ansem: I regret to inform you that Soraoathkeeper has given up all hope on a schedule, seeing how she cannot keep one, nor make one. However, she looks forward to writing the next chapter, and will be working on it as soon as possible.
Chibi Kairi: We're talking for her because she has a sore throat and a bad cough.
Chibi Sora: But why would she need us to talk for her if she's typing this fic?
((Everyone stares at Chibi Sora))
Chibi Riku: Wow. I think that was the first time that Sora actually made sense. That's a miracle.
Chibi Ranma: Lightning only strikes once.
Chibi Riku: That's a good one, but I like the saying, "Every now and then the blind squirrel gets a nut."
Chibi Sora: Squirrel? SQUIRREL???? WHERE!! *starts to run around in circles* Squirrelly squirrelly squirrelly squirrel!!!!!!!!
Chibi Ranma: You've done it now!!! We're not supposed to say the s-q-u-i-r-r-e-l word around Sora, remember???!!!
Chibi Riku: Oops.
Chibi Kairi: Anyhow, she is very sorry that she couldn't get this out earlier, but………Hey! It's Jack! Oh Jaaaaaaaaaaackie!!!!!!! It's me, Kairi, REMEMBER? You ate my cookies and said they were good!!!!
((Chibi Jack Sparrow looks around fearfully, sees Chibi Kairi, and starts running))
Chibi Jack Sparrow: {Oh no, it's that RUM crazy Chibi, whatshername, Kairi, RUM who baked me cookies, RUM which were good until RUM I nearly broke my RUM tooth on the ring RUM she put in it RUM which had a note RUM that said "I can't wait until our wedding!" RUM RUM and then Chibi Ansem, RUM my best friend, starts RUM chasing me around the RUM pool, threatening to kill RUM me because of the RUM ring, and then I RUM got pushed in the RUM pool because she started RUM to glomp me! RUM!}
Chibi Kairi: Jack? JACKIE? Where are you going? COME BACK HERE!!!
Chibi Ansem: Well-Soraoathkeeper-is-going-to-update-the-chapter-soon-and-she-hopes-you-enjoy-the-chapter-and-I-have-to-go-now-because-Jack's-seducing-Kairi-my-beloved-and-I'm-going-to-give-him-a-pounding-for-that-so-bye! JACK!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO KAIRI!!!
((Chibi Ansem runs off to kill Chibi Jack Sparrow. Chibi Sora (who has long forgot about the squirrel) sees that no one is typing, and takes over))
Chibi Sora: Hiya everybody! Since no one is here, I'm gonna take over! This is now Chibi Sora's Rock Talk Show! Please welcome our first guest Boulder Stone!
((Chibi Sora holds up a red rock the size of a fist))
Chibi Sora:………..I'm happy that you're here too Boulder! How are you feeling?……………Uh huh…Yeah, I get colds too. In fact, Soraoathkeeper had one, but now she has a cough……….What? That's terrible! She fell down a hill?………….
Chibi Riku: Please God, just kill me now. If not……oh Sooooora!
Chibi Sora: What?
Chibi Riku: SQUIRREL!!!
==================================================================================================
Yuuhi ran outside, looking around for Aya. He had found her gone, as well as Toya and his bags, and went looking for her. Yuuhi hoped that she 1) wasn't with Toya or 2) had gone back to the Mikage's. Either way, as usual, he would have to go and save her. It wasn't the saving her that was the hard part; no that was simple. The hard part was watching her fawn over Toya, right in front of Yuuhi. He got this pain that started in his heart and spread to his whole body. At first, it felt like a thousand knives were twisting into his body, cruelly and painfully. And then, the sting was gone and was replaced by numbness. When he saw Aya and Toya together, he stood there, smiling lopsidedly, appearing to be happy for them. But as everyone knows, appearances are deceiving, perhaps more so for Yuuhi. If someone just looked into his eyes, just cared enough to see past the "nice guy" exterior and find the abandoned child inside, they could see that he was looking at Aya and Toya, but not seeing them. He was looking past them, right through them. His eyes reflected, but didn't absorb. But Aya didn't look, didn't care and ignored him for Toya.
As he searched, he became aware of a dark bundle in the rain. As he came closer, he became aware that it was someone, someone no other than Aya. He quickly ran over to her and picked her up, discovering that she was crying.
"Aya, what happened? Why are you crying? What are you doing in the rain?"
Aya threw her arms around Yuuhi, catching him by surprise and off-balance. He took a step back, obviously shocked, but he soon became less tense and wrapped his arms around her.
"T-Toya b-b-broke up w-with m-me." Aya sobbed, soaking his already wet shirt.
Yuuhi immediately felt anger at Toya. Here Aya was, giving up her entire heart, the heart that Yuuhi would do anything to have, to this man, and what does he do? Uses it, plays with it, and throws it away as soon as he can.
{If I had her heart I would thank God every day, and treasure it forever.}
Yuuhi wanted to tell her this, to soothe her and whisper that she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, and that no matter which form she had, he would always love her. But he knew that she was suffering of a broken heart, and that it would only hurt her more if he confessed to her right now. Aya's heart had been broken, and the only thing he could do was to help her pick up the pieces.
So he held her tightly as she laid her head on his shoulder, and stood there peacefully, savoring the moment and wishing with all his heart that he could do this every day, whenever he wanted. But he knew that it couldn't be, it was not meant to be. Aya might say she hates Toya for breaking up with her, but, he perceived, if Toya ever came back for her, Aya would go with him, no matter how much he loved her, no matter if she was married to Yuuhi or not. She had already given her heart to Toya, and, just as Yuuhi had given his heart to Aya, it could not be taken back.
This he saw with a small bit of foresight. Deep down inside, he knew that Aya would never be his, never, for she already had a special someone in her life. And no matter how much he wished that he was that person, the fact of the matter is that he isn't, wasn't, and never would be.
And it hurt.
Yuuhi looked down at Aya. She was sleeping, contented just to be held. He sighed, and looking up, he realized that the rain had stopped. The sun was etting, illuminating their figure, making them one. A rainbow had somehow formed in the sky, fitting the sun perfectly, as if it was protecting it from all of the rest of the world. The view was breathtaking, and looked as if it came out of a fairytale. Yuuhi smiled, remembering the sleeping celestial being in his arms. He picked Aya up, bridal style, and walked into the house where he gently put her on her futon. He thought for a moment, and then tenderly planted a kiss on her cheek. Turning back, he stopped in the doorway of her room, and whispered a "good night" to her.
Aya rolled over, her arm on the bedspread, her hand outstretched. Her soft blonde hair was picked up by an unfelt breeze as her face broke out into a small, contented smile. She snuggled deeper as she drifted into her dream world. Aya sighed, completely relaxed.
"Yuuhi………."

~{AUTHOR'S NOTE}~
And another chapter is finished. I am SOOO sorry for the long wait. I have recently looked over my fics, and found out that I need to improve my writing. I don't know how to do that, but I will try.
For more, look at the Updates section.
~{REVIEWS}~
~kura52~
Oooooooo, I wanna poster too! I really like Yuuhi, he seems to me like the only person who actually has some personality. I've always likes the funny best friend than the mysterious, dark stranger. ^___~ I know what's like to be busy, my teachers are just loading me up with homework and tests! I'm so glad I'm going on vacation, it'll be nice just to relax for a entire week. No more five hour long rehearsals, no more homework on the weekends, just me and my chibis, the people who I enjoy hanging out with the most. *sigh* I just can't wait. Anyway, thanks for the review!
You get a Yuuhi plusie! Perfect for snuggling, hugging AND glomping!
~RainbowSerenity~
Yeah, I've noticed that in some fics, people make Toya just a mindless zombie. He does have feelings you know! Or maybe it's because I'm only looking at the Yuuhi/Aya fics….they are the only kind I read! ^____~ Anyway, why don't you make a second shot? I know I would appreciate it, and probably many more reviewers too! You could write about the first time Yuuhi knew that he would never get the girl……mmm, I smell angst! Thanks for reviewing!
You get a Toya doll! Don't you just want to burn it? And now you can!

You get a full length poster of the scene in book three! Awwww…….
~Angel Tifa~

~{UPDATES}~
The past few days have been hard, but I'm getting by. Some things that have kept me going are the fact that I have FINALLY gotten my hands onto the fourth and fifth volumes of Ceres, the fourteenth and fifteenth volumes of Inuyasha, the first, second, third and fourth volumes of Zodiac P. I., and two Shonen Jump magazines. NARUTO RULES!!! And One Piece, and Shaman King, and Yu-gi-oh! Speaking of Ceres, I have had many new ideas for Ceres fics, and here they are:
THE HAGOROMO
Yuuhi has finally accepted that Aya would be happier with Toya than him and given up fighting, but he still hopes that someday, maybe, she will love him just as much as Yuuhi does her. But when Toya reveals a dark secret that will destroy he and Aya's happiness, will Yahoo help him? Will he have enough courage to make the final sacrifice? Because in doing that, it would mean admitting to himself that Aya would never, ever, love him..........
Genre: Romance/Angst
Pairing(s): Yuuhi/Aya
WARNING: *SPOILERS*
DIRT
Just a little out take on Yuuhi's view on how Aya treats him like dirt when Toya's around, but how he still loves her in spite of everything she does.
Genre: Romance/Angst
Pairing(s): Yuuhi/Aya
DEFENDING THE GIRL YOU LOVE AND THE BOY YOU HATE
Remember in the fifth volume how Aki first confronted Aya and Toya as the Progenitor? Well, remember how Yuuhi jumped in front of them trying to protect Aya and Toya? What if he had died the minute his headband snapped off? How would things be different?
Genre: Romance/Tragedy
Pairing(s): Yuuhi/Aya
WARINING: *SPOILERS*
JUST THE WAY YOU ARE
Aya says that she loves Toya just the way he is. But when she is suddenly mutilated because of a terrible accident, she wonders, is the feeling is mutual? And what about Yuuhi?
Genre: Romance
Pairing(s): Yuuhi/Aya
TRANSFORMATION
Aya is involved in a terrible accident, and for some reason, takes on a new form. The only one who believes that is Yuuhi, who immediately knows she is Aya. But will he be able to help her when no one else can, and the police are on her tail?
Genre: Romance
Pairing(s): Yuuhi/Aya
TWO FACES
Aya is finally rid of Ceres. Ceres is no more than genes in a syringe. But when she learns that Toya is no longer the one she loves, how will she react? And what will become of Yuuhi?
Genre: Romance
Pairing(s): Yuuhi/Aya
WARNING: POSSIBLE *SPOILERS*
I should probably finish my other fics first, and I will. However, I have decided that Promises will be on hold, because I have yet to develop an outline for it. Once I do, I will be sure to update it.
Anyway, thanks to all that reviewed and for waiting for this chapter.
See ya next time!
