Carly-chan: Um…ok guys…my deadline week will be here in 6 days from when I start writing this, and as you all know I cant write my fan fiction during deadline week because that will get me into a situation where I am up till 3 in the morning trying to finish the chapter before the deadline at noon on the next day like last deadline week. And as you may or may not know when I am still awake past 2 in the morning I start to go a little…insane if you may. Insane to the point where in that chapter a character that I usually forget to write in that I wanted in that chapter for some reason made her cameo by jumping out of the preheated oven as my vampire character and his two human friends made cookies in the incredibly small kitchen (which was modeled after my own)… yes that is very strange isn't it. Ok so back to the point… (what was the point anyway…hold on I'll find it…got it!) ok so I think the point was that I'm going to try to get this out before deadline week hits again but if I don't manage to do that then I'm sorry but you'll have to wait longer and hopefully I will still have the strength to write after deadline week… my manager K-san is pushing me for longer chapters now… I swear I'll be dead for real before I can actually finish that story! OK enough about my problems with my other story um…onto this one wait by the way guys thanks for always listening to/ putting up with my gripping about my other story.

Uh…I'd like to state again that I will probably finish this up within the next 2 chapters (yes I am aware I said something similar to that way back at like chapter 1 and here we are at 6 . ) but that probably wont happen… I'd also like to thank you all for your support you've made this story grow from one of two Ideas that I had one night, this one that I hated because it wasn't as good as the other to a nice yet sad story that I really enjoy writing now…. Thank you, this story wouldn't be the same without you.

Oh and by the way has anyone noticed that at the beginning the story was filled with a lot of hatred because I was in a short phase of hating the world and then now that I've started to love the world it is happier but as Mei gets happier the less time she has therefore making it really ironic. Has anyone noticed the style the story was written in to change as that happened because I think it has been even though I try to keep it the same….

Holly crap I talk way too much…. I haven't even gotten to the disclaimer or the review replies yet alright onto that…by the way if anyone actually read all that wow…just wow…

Kissed By A Prince: Yes Yes my poor Mei… she's so lost and confused right now (as she's about to die) yet somehow she still managed to freak out Ren with her weird mask thingy lol

SGCred: Of course they will be together forever even if she dies… I may be morbid sometimes but I couldn't hurt my own characters like that… they are like my children. Aww yay you think it's fabulous! (you know that word sounded funny when I said it just now… fabulous lol) uplifting and spiritual?… I see that's cool Oh uh...thanks so much for those complements. Wow… have I ever mentioned that it was part of my dream to write an emotionally driven story? Lol

sweet-evil-girl: Oh! Oh!don't cry don't cry! Oh no I made someone cry! . um…uh…thank you for your compliments! . um…and may I ask you …what does gidget mean? or is it like a name that you sign with?

Disclaimer: Yay! Hmm…we should do something interesting with this today…. Like have a shaman king character do my disclaimer! How about…um…Hao-sama! Pulls Hao-sama over Alright Hao-sama do my disclaimer!

Hao: Your disclaimer?

Me: Yes Hao-sama …tell them what I do and do not own!

Hao: You own nothing…everything of 'yours' is my as you follow me!

Me: Hey! that's not true…I have to own some things!

Hao: By the way… are you away from those stupid X-Laws yet?

Me: Um.. no…I will be in two weeks though! Hey…how did you know about that?! How did he know about that?! notices that Hao-sama walked away Hey! Ok then Ren-Ren will do the disclaimer! drags Ren over Ren do the disclaimer since Hao-sama wouldn't! gives him an innocent look

Ren: Fine! Carly doesn't own me, shaman king or any characters from shaman king.. she does own the characters Mei, Sayo and Heala. I'm leaving now! he also walks away

Me: Right then! Now seriously onto the story! (P.S. sorry if Hao-sama was OOC and um…if you'd like to know about that whole thing with me and the X-Laws feel free to email me about it)

"Sayo!" I hissed whirling around, my eyes met his and I glared at him, my eyes becoming thin slits hoping that they would bore into him as his were to me. I tried my hardest to put up a tough front but my thoughts had started to swim inside my head and the clearest thought I could find was 'Is it that time already… time to die, I don't want to go, not now! Not when I finally found happiness… why must I suffer this cruel fate… was I bad in a past life and am now suffering the consequences?' I had to be strong though, if I was to die I would fight my hardest before it happened. 'If I must die then I will die with honor.' That is what I whispered to myself inside of my mind before I fully put up my strong front. "I'm going to fight with everything I have for you Sayo, you should feel honored!" I hissed at him.

"What honor comes in taking out a little girl like you? You aren't even of a good family like your friend over there, the Tao." She said back, his tone didn't seem so cruel as mine, was he taunting, playing mind games with me, trying to get me worked up before the fight? I glanced over my shoulder at Ren, he had backed up a bit off of the battle field, I heard him let out a slight grunt as his family name was mentioned. Ren never really seemed very close to his family, I didn't know why though… wait I have to focus, I can think about Ren and his life later, I don't have much time left of my own life so I have to focus on it for a little while

"Shut up Sayo! Leave Ren out of this, this fight is between me and you, not him!" I yelled, it had appeared he had struck a nerve. Just second after I had spoke those words I saw my flaw, how could I have let him know I was so close to Ren, him knowing just the slightest bit of my personal life gave him a huge advantage.

"I see," He took a dagger out of a pouch that he wore on his belt and held it upright in his hand. "So if I were to throw this dagger into you boyfriend's heart how would you feel?" His words shot through my body and into my heart like venom, quickly I recovered and shouted back at him.

"Oh Sayo, with your earlier talk of him being from the 'good family' of the Taos I hadn't expected you to underestimate him, I would stand here and wait patiently as he evaded your pitiful attack, that is what I would do. You see Sayo, do not underestimate us!" He slid the dagger back into his pouch.

"Mei!" I heard Ren yell from behind me, what could he want to tell me now? "Hurry up and engage your oversoul, the match is going to start!" Was that Sayo's strategy, to make me lose the match because I hadn't engaged my oversoul in time? No… I could tell that he wanted to kill me, he had planned it from the beginning or else he wouldn't have made that comment before. Oh yeah! I have to engage my oversoul! I nodded at Ren, slipped a red pouch out of my pocket and pulled from it a long strand of purple prayer beads then looked over to Heala, she quickly nodded at me and then merged with the beads that I held in my hands. Once the oversoul was engaged the beads looked like along purple whip of energy. Finally I was ready to fight, I looked up at Sayo who had engaged an oversoul with his wolf spirit.

'Heala…. I don't like fighting wolf spirits… I love wolves and I'm not too great with animal spirits to begin with.' I whispered to Heala so that only she could hear me.

'It's alright dear, I will help you.' Her voice soothed me as it always did.

"Right! Let us begin then Sayo!" I yelled out to him, second later I was charging at him ready to strike out with my whip.

As I came into a striking distance I was forced back as I dodged his swipe at me with his claws. I stepped forward and struck out with my whip but he blocked it. Our battle went on like this for what seemed to be hours, he would claw at me but I would evade and I would strike at him but he would block it. We fought all around that graveyard as I jumped back and he ran at me. At one point we even fought in the trees as when I dodged I jumped up into the tree instead of back in a desperate attempt to throw him off, it had worked slightly, I had managed to strike him in the side just slightly with my whip. The wound bled but wasn't the critical hit I would have needed.

I stood there on the tree branch with him on the tree opposite me waiting for the right time to make my next move, he took the move instead. He came at me, lunging forward at me, I was stuck. I couldn't risk letting myself fall to the ground and as I glanced back I saw that there was no other tree behind me to jump to. He knocked me off of the branch and took me down to the ground, his claws jabbing deep into my stomach as we fell.

Darkness started to surround me, my vision started to blur, I could feel that Heala had parted from me then. I heard Ren shouting cruel words to Sayo but I couldn't make them out, they were like a distant murmur to me. I brought my hand up to cover my bloody wound, I felt the blood there, the warm blood that flowed from my body, there wasn't as much as I thought there would be. "R-Ren… good…bye" I managed to mutter those words before I became enveloped in the darkness, 'It has finally come… the end of me.' I gave this last thought before the darkness took me.

Carly-chan: Um…so I'm not really good at fight scenes…how do you guys think I did? I'm sorry for the utter shortness of this chapter and my talking way too much before. Um…no this is not the end.. there will be one more chapter and then I will tell you about where I got the inspiration for this fic and about the other fic I plan to do after this one once I finish watching my shaman king DVDs, I've finally made it to the 3rd season!
