A/N: I am sorry I haven't updated sooner. But I am sure we've all expirenced writers block. This is the final chapter. Thanks for reviewing everyone.
Chapter Four: The Place I'll Return To
(Manta's POV)
I always imagined what it'd be like to die and what would happen afterwards. I was obessed with the manner in how someone lived, died, and passed on. And now I know, at least for me. I was stuck in Limbo.
For those who care to know, Limbo was simply a place like the rest of the world, where you can watch, but no one who's not on the same plane as you can see you. Not even strong spirits and shaman.
I hated it. All I saw was him, my savior and killer.
He sat there nearly everyday for weeks on end, waiting just to see me... Even if it were just for a little bit. I wasn't very surprised, after all, this was the man who waited six hundred years for a friend. And this is after the fact that he had betrayed the emperorer.
I wanted to go to him, see him. But...with the circumstances of my death and all. I was afraid of how I would react, that I might hurt him with my feelings. I never been too good at containing my emotions.
Or maybe, maybe I was afraid that he'd tell me that he was glad I was gone. That he hated me and wanted to flaunt it in my face... That he...that's ridiculous! Amidamaru was my friend! He'd never abandon me or anyone else for that matter! I owed it to him to at least tell him that I am okay. What was I doing making him wait?
But then, how to get out of here. 'Amidamaru, I want to see you again. All of you. I want you to see me.'
(Amidamaru's POV)
"Manta... I am no longer able to come and see you like this. Today, I shall be leaving, for America. But I'll comeback, I promise. I swear. But please, know that I'll comeback to see you. But please, watch for me, us, in the Finals. We'll win for you, dear Manta. This is the place I'll return to, as will you. For now my friend, goodbye."
I took one last look at my friend's grave before departing, hopefully on good terms.
