M-Chan: Anyway I want to say thanks to everyone who reviewed for all of my chapters, and to those who stuck with the whole story. Well this is it, the epilogue.

"I left without warning. I felt bad after I did. Not being able to know when I'm going to see you again, well, it's killing me. You, my friends, I want to go back so bad. It no longer feels like I'm at home, it feels like I'm away from it. I want to come back, lie in the meadow, gaze at the stars, and practice our various talents. I can't wait to breathe the fresh ocean air by the sea. My friends here are glad I'm home, and as much as I miss you, I'm glad to see them too; what would a girl be without her best friends? I make a list of things to do when I get back, making the list only when I'm bored. It's only been what? Six months? I can't put in any other words how much I miss you, you and everyone else. I can't give you an exact date I'm going to be home, be the ring gets me by day by day. Just one look and my mind is enclosed in memories. Unfortunately I get the good with the bad. But every moment seems to be linked with us and our oh, so complicated relationship.

You have my love.

Jessi"

I finished my report and looked at my expressive writing class.

"Uh, Jessi who exactly where you writing that to?" Amanda asked, eyeing me.

"No one," I said quietly "Just about a girl who had to leave the one she loved"

I sat back down and glanced at the few of my friends that sat in that class. Okay so I wrote the letter before I was assigned to actual assignment, but it worked didn't it?

I wasn't lying, I miss Hiei so much. Not just him but Kurama, Keiko, you know the whole gang. But I wasn't lying when I said I was glad to see my old friends again. It's confusing, part of me would give anything to be back in Japan, and the other part is afraid to go. Afraid of what, I couldn't tell you.

Although it's kind of fun here. I have been working on controlling my visions more. I can now actually hear things, that is if there's anything to hear.

I sighed as the final bell rang. I quickly gathered my things and stood to leave. I glanced at my ring. You know how hard it was to lie and tell me friends I didn't meet anyone interesting? Let's just say it wasn't easy ok? That and the fact that I started dressing the role of Hiei's "mate". You know the darker clothes, evil glares, and death threats. Apparently the only thing that changed about me was the clothes. Go figure.

"So where are we going tonight?" Jenny asked me as I opened my locker.

"What are you talking about?"

"It's April 11" Amanda said. Was it? Let's see, I left for Japan in last April, spent six months there, got back around October/ November ish, than six months here would make it…..

"So it is," I said

"And….." My dearly gothic friends trailed.

"And what?"

"Your seventeen today!" oh my god.

"Please don't tell me you forgot your own birthday"

"And if I did?" Are pigs flying? Because my friends are now speechless. "Look guys I just want to go home and sleep, really. Just call me later when your speech problem has worn off." I grinned and walked toward the back doors in our school.

I ran home. Something I've been doing a lot of. Okay so I fell into a small depression when I got here, but I'm better…almost.

"Mom, I'm home" I called.

"There was a letter for you in the mail" she yelled back.

I looked at the small white envelope. Only my name was written on it. I opened it quickly and unfolded the note inside. A single question was written on it.

Are your visions helping you yet?

I gasped as I became cold. I shut my eyes quickly, and when I opened them I saw the house back in Japan, and every one of my friends. All of them were holding part of the letter. I couldn't believe. They were able to manipulate my visions. This was some much better than anything I could have wanted, well almost anything. I felt my energy draining I knew I had to go back to reality some time. But before I left I herd a single sentence.

Go have fun, it's your birthday.

The next thing I remember is my eyes opening to my kitchen. I walked over to my phone and called Jenny.

"Hello?" She answered.

"Call Amanda, Nathan and Jake, Meet me at the mall in a half an hour"

"I though you hated the mall?"

"I do, but I think we can have some fun today"

"Finally!"


"Someone, tell me why we're here" Jake asked.

"My birthday, I want to do everything that normal people wouldn't."

"Burn this place down and pretend it never existed?" Nathan asked.

"New hair, new contacts,"

"Why so lively?"

"I was told to have fun"

Well that's when it started. My final stage to get out of my depression. And the beginning of my wild hair act. And when I go back, and I will go back, I'm going to make sure that I'll leave a perfect bad girl image.
