A/N:I seriously do not know how to go about with this chapter! But as the title has said, it is the finale chapter! YAY! It will be broken up into a lot of different parts and scenes so buckle up to be ready for it! Let me give a character analysis of the Shiyuanfanfic first before writing out the finale chapter:)
Shiyuan- She's the main character of this whole fan fiction. Actually Shiyuan is a real name and is a real person in real life. (Shiyuan, don't roll your eyes as you read this) I wrote this whole story in dedication to her for getting me so darn involved and hooked onto anime and yeah, anime fan fictions! Shiyuan in the story, is a girl whose really indulging in all her favourite activities, like being so hooked onto Rurouni Kenshin Merchandise and fencing. However, when she meets Shinsani, she comes across as this spoilt brat whose so arrogant because she's always thinking of the negativity of Shinsani (don't blame me! Shiyuan always reviewed saying no way was she going to fall for Shinsani…so I tried to make the storyline go that way:) But the ending should end like a big bang and I shall defy Shiyuan's wishes!!! WHEE!)
She doesn't know how to handle relationships, as we can see from the chapters, but she does care a lot for Shinsani. Like, for instance, when she braved the rain just to find Shinsani. She's also infamously known for her piercing scream, yeah, beautiful voice she has. Shiyuan is very strong-willed and she's really caring towards all her other friends. She doesn't backstab or have any evil intentions and she's just an innocent naïve person:)
Shinsani- He's the love interest of Shiyuan. I tried to portray him as a bad guy in the first chapter, when he slaps Shiyuan violently just because he could not tolerate Shiyuan's impolite attitude. Then later in the chapters, he turns nice to Shiyuan by offering to be her fencing partner and gives her extra coaching fencing lessons together. Then when the girl, Fuko, beg Shiyuan to give up her singing position for the anime production, Shinsani refuses flatly by saying that he would not sing if she wasn't singing. Shinsani is really nice to Shiyuan, he's clear of his feelings for her (but the same can't be said for Shiyuan. LOL) but he can be sarcastic at times and keeps arguing his head off with Shiyuan. He cares a lot for Shiyuan, however, the same can't be said towards other people. He is rather rude to other people, like Shiyuan's friend Misaki. But I do want to portray him as the overall nice sweetie that every girl yearns for:) Oh yeah, and he really does have natural brown hair which shines red under any form of light:)
Cherissa- She's the music coach whose hired to train the duo's vocal chords for their singing debut in the anime production theme song. She loves matchmaking the duo by setting them up with lovely dovey songs:) Cherissa is my friend in real life and she sings really well in choir, thus the role of the music coach belongs to her! Cherissa is an extraordinary teenager because she's a music coach as well as a student( she's still a teenager) but in the story, she's a few years ago than Shiyuan and Shinsani, probably their senior by three years.
Ruma-sensei: Everybody wants to match make Shiyuan and Shinsani, don't you think so? Ruma-sensei is really experienced in fencing and he cares for his students. He put Shinsani up at his house for one week when the officials were after him. Ruma-sensei then proceeds to call Shiyuan because he thought she was the right person whose able to persuade Shinsani to turn himself in. Ruma-sensei is one friendly sensei and he isn't all serious.
Laura- She's Shiyuan's best friend, alongside with Misaki and Izumi. I thought it was fun to add a new character in! Laura is my friend in real life too and she is one of Shiyuan's best friends in real life too. In the story, Laura comes across as this vain girl whose favourite colour is PURPLE (I just got stuck with the idea that her favourite colour should and must be purple. HAHA.) She splurges her monthly allowance on clothes, makeup and accessories and is a girl's girl. The description of her bedroom describes her personality. Laura is a fun-loving person who really wants the best for Shiyuan-to the extent of ganging up with two other best friends to set Shiyuan and Shinsani up on a date. She's a very nice girl whose very polite in the fiction and yeah, she loves nature. (don't snicker!)
Izumi- Izumi's English name is Teresa and Teresa also happens to be one of my friends in real life. She's a best friend of Shiyuan too and she's very strategic in the things she does. She's highly organised and thinks on the spot. Also, like Laura, she loves match making Shiyuan and Shinsani together! In the first chapter, Izumi, Shiyuan and Misaki hang out together and have real fun with each other. I didn't get a chance to elaborate further on this character because I developed on other characters like Laura and Cherissa.
Misaki- That's my Japanese name:) My Japanese name is Misaki Masaaki. Like Izumi, Misaki is very enthusiastic and doesn't care about other peoples' impressions of her. Even though Shinsani sounded so darn frustrated with her on the phone, she manages to keep up her happy tone. She's a little boy crazy but then again, I also hadn't had the chance to develop her further as an important person in the story.
Fuko- She's this unknown girl in Jefirerose High who is desperate to win the singing audition. She even begs Shiyuan to give up her singing role for her! Sheesh. She has no backbone. I think I added her into the story just to create a situation where it allowed Shinsani and Shiyuan to grow closer together:)
Mr Cham Kam Poo- He was really famous in the first few chapters, when Shiyuan hated Shinsani to bits and pieces and they were quarrelling over trivial matters. Mr Cham saw that as a sign of a loving couple and often teased them. He's also a teacher in real life and he's hilarious!
Mr Chen Xiao Dong- The name really rings a bell. Haha. I used his name as the principal's name because I thought it sounded funny.
Mr Sanosuke Sagara- He's a character from the anime/manga Rurouni Kenshin:) He's a fun-loving person and a HIP boss-judging from his highlighted coloured hair and laidback personality. He has a thing for Megumi, but I also didn't get to elaborate on this, because the focus is on Shiyuan and Shinsani.
Megumi- She's one of the directors in Mr Sagara's company and she is also a character from RK. She's very pretty and she's easily agitated, especially by the offences of Shinsani. But she's also kind-hearted, like for instance, when she slipped Shiyuan's dirty books into a plastic bag so that it will give some convenience to Shiyuan.
YAY! That's all the characters right? Hopefully I didn't miss out anyone!:) Right…on with the chapter! Bleh. My internet connection is down because I installed Ares Lite and it reacts negatively with my internet connection. My mum woke me up with her newspaper shuffling just when I was about to fall asleep. I'll go downstairs to sleep again after I type out a paragraph:)
Special thanks to Shiyuan and Cherissa for motivating me this far and to everyone else who have reviewed and read my story:)
"Hey! OY! Wake up!" Shinsani yelled deafeningly and the echoes of his voice were bouncing across the fencing hall. A tremendously worried expression was etched on his face as he gazed down at the girl who had just fainted comfortably in his arms. "What do I do now?" He asked aloud, feeling completely helpless. He shouted out loud for Ruma-sensei. The next thing he knew, Ruma-sensei came running down the corridors and his head popped out into the entrance of the fencing hall.
"You called?"
Shinsani gulped, cocking his head down to the unconscious Shiyuan. "I don't know what to do…" He stammered. He got Shiyuan off her and laid her on the bench. Ruma-sensei came over and inspected her. Touching her forehead, he shook his head as he said, " She's running a fever. Must have been the rain that has triggered the fever." Shinsani felt a large twinge of guilt pricking his conscience. Gulping down his fear, he asked stupidly," So what do we do now? Do you have any fever medicine or whatever? Where will she stay? Is she fit to go home now? Should she stay over at your house?"
Ruma-sensei rolled his eyes at his baka deshi (it's Japanese for stupid student). " My car is at the service centre." Ruma-sensei said flatly.
"Oh." Shinsani said, dumbfounded.
"I'll call up her parents and inform them of your disappearance and the whole matter and her condition. I won't get them to report to the police that they have found you, for I'm confident that you will own up tomorrow. I'm going to ask them for permission to let Shiyuan stay over at my house for the night." That was Ruma-sensei's reply.
Shinsani nodded. "But Sensei (Japanese for teacher)…if I'm taking care of her, like…I'm sleeping the guestroom and there's only one bed…" His voice trailed off.
"I'll get two mattresses down to the living room. That's where you are camping tonight." Ruma-sensei answered in sensibly, his voice almost sounding smug.
Shinsani nodded.
He spent the rest of the night with a plastic container of ice cool water, a thermometer, drinking water, blankets, a towel, mattresses, panadols and Shiyuan. He got up every two hours to wet the towel in the bucket ice cool water, before sponging her face and leaving the towel on her forehead. Shinsani looked down worriedly at the sleeping Shiyuan. He had never looked after anyone in his life before. He was an only child and spent half of his time outdoors in fencing lessons alone, all by himself, because his parents had never had time to spend with him. He shrugged off that depressing thought as his attention turned to Shiyuan.
Shiyuan shivered and her lower lips quivered. Shinsani grabbed one more layer of blanket and spread it out on the mattress. The coldness, that her fever was causing her to feel like she was in the Antarctic, seemed to have faded away when she drifted off to sleep and her breathing became calm and quiet again. He strolled back to his own mattress and sleep claimed him. Another two more hours of sleep to go before the digital clock woke him up again to check on Shiyuan.
Shiyuan's eyes opened and felt slightly disorientated. She had awakened in the brink of midnight. Feeling two layers of blankets covering her, she could still feel the coldness that her fever was causing her. A splitting headache greeted her senses as she put her two hands to her head. She turned to her side and a towel fell off her forehead.
"What is a towel doing on my forehead? Where am I?" Shiyuan thought. She flung away the towel with force and the towel was sent flying right into the air and landed on Shinsani's face. "UGH!" Shiyuan heard that sound and felt completely startled. The digital clock beeped again at that instance. He sat up feeling irritated by the fact that a towel rudely awakened him. Groaning as he got up from his mattress, he flicked the table lamp, which was on the desk table, on.
" What are YOU doing now?" Shiyuan asked incredulously.
"I…I…We are in Ruma-sensei's house now. You fainted because you were running such a high fever so Ruma-sensei wanted to you to stay over at his house for one night. He has informed your parents already." Shinsani answered embarrassedly.
Shiyuan nodded as she felt her body fall back on the mattress tiredly. Her splitting headache was driving her nuts. "Are you okay?" Shinsani asked worriedly as he kneeled down by her side. He grabbed the thrown towel and dumped it in the bucket of cold water, squeezed it dry and put it on Shiyuan's forehead. Then he took the bottle of drinking water and tilted Shiyuan's head to drink some water so that she would not be dehydrated.
" Do I need medicine or something?" She mumbled.
Shinsani said," No. You have already taken them. It will be six hours again before you need to take more fever medicine. Go to sleep." Shiyuan nodded obediently and reached out for Shinsani's hand before clasping it with two of her hands and muttering softly," Don't leave me alone to fend off this fever all by myself." Shinsani had heard her and he was somewhat embarrassed. He was the epitome of worry and anxiety and concern for his friend. He lay down on the cool and hard surface of the marble floor and fell asleep again.
The alarm clock rang an irritating buzzing sound. The more he ignored it, the louder it got and the more irritated he got. Groaning and complaining about loud noises, Shinsani woke up, wondering why his back was so stiff. He then realised that he had been sleeping on the marble and his hand was stills tuck within Shiyuan's hands. Glancing down his watch, which read 12pm, he got panicky. " Oh no! I'm late! I'm supposed to meet Megumi and Mr. Sagara! I don't think she is healthy enough to go right down to meet them. I'll go in her place then." He yanked his hand out of hers and picked up his knapsack and off he went.
Meanwhile, Megumi and Sanosuke had been waiting outside the school gates of Jefirerose High for close to one hour and they were growing increasingly irritated as every minute passed. " Did you think she stood us up?" Mr. Sagara, who was munching happily on an apple, asked. Megumi frowned at him and replied coolly," Damn. She was such a nice person. I'd hate to think she did that. Shall we leave now?" Mr. Sagara stared at her thoughtfully before nodding. It was pointless staying and waiting for someone who had not turned up.
They were about to get into their black limousine when they heard a shout. " WAIT!!!" Shinsani shouted, cycling as fast as he could on the rusty red bicycle that was deposited in the back of Ruma-sensei's garage. Shinsani tried to find any vehicle that could transport and he made do with the bicycle. Megumi and Mr. Sagara turned around and their eyes widened in disbelief. " Aren't you Shinsani?" Megumi asked.
Shinsani caught up with them, panting slightly. " Shiyuan got sick and she can't get out of bed. I'm here instead. After all, you wanted to find me, didn't you? I'm here to owe up." Mr. Sagara smirked as he disposed the core of the apple into a nearby rubbish bin. "But," Shinsani glared dagger eyes at the both of them. "Do not ever try to involve my friends in future. Ever." Mr. Sagara's smirk grew wider,"
Yeah, sure. Protective of your girlfriend, aren't you?" Shinsani gaped as he tried to rectify Mr. Sagara's mistake, but Mr. Sagara had interrupted him and pushed him into the passenger seat of the limousine.
"It's so typical of you guys to abduct me from my school and bring me over to discuss matters in a business-like room," Shinsani commented sarcastically to Megumi and Mr. Sagara, who ignored him.
"Well…aren't you going to sit?" Megumi asked in a matter-of-fact tone.
"As a matter of fact, I won't." Shinsani growled fiercely.
"Seems like someone here is throwing a childish tantrum right in the matter of a serious session. We underestimated him, Megumi. My, my." Mr. Sagara said aloud, scratching his chin as he leaned back into his comfy leather chair. Shinsani grudgingly forced himself onto one of the chairs and scowled deeply.
"Right. Let the session begin." Megumi flipped open her wide stack of file notes and clasped her hands together. "Shinsani, I know you do know the rules of the contract."
"No, no I don't. I just signed the contract with my eyes closed." Shinsani snapped. " Stop asking silly and obvious questions. Of course I do know the rules."
"So you are fully aware that you have broken the rules?" Megumi questioned another annoyingly obvious question. That earned her a glare from Shinsani.
"Just speak out the consequences now." Shinsani said shortly. He kept a straight face, not wanting to show his fear of punishment.
It was Mr. Sagara's turn to speak. " The termination of the fencing contract and a hefty compensation. The termination of the contract will mean that you have to pack your bags and return to Japan, which is the place that you had signed the contract."
" YOU CAN'T DO THIS!!!" Shinsani shouted, outraged.
"We haven't finished, and please sit down and wipe that ferocious look off your face." Megumi said grimly. Her patience with a bad-tempered adolescent was wearing thin. " We WILL allow you to finish your school term at Jefirerose High and let you finish your singing schedule for the anime production. But you will have to leave Singapore after that. You should know your rash decision to have turned your back on the contract rules. Also, the compensation fee will be $15,000."
The severity of the whole matter was like the entire universe collapsing onto Shinsani's shoulders.
