Thanks to James's review, I've just realized a major plot hole in my story. Thus, I've decided to add one last extra chapter to explain what's up with Ayane.

It was dawn, the sun was beginning to peek out of the mountains. Ryu, Kasumi, Hayate, Leon, and Hitomi lay in the forest still, all asleep. A twig snapped somewhere in the vicinity, Hayate stirred instantly, his hand going straight for his blade's hilt. He rose from the grassy ground and unsheathed the blade, looking around. He spotted a figure approaching him, he readied himself for battle.

"Hayate..." A familiar voice called to him, it seemed to emanate from the approaching figure. The shadow came into the light and revealed Ayane,

"I'm..." Hayate began, but he was speechless. Back in the Opera House...he HAD killed her. He had literally stabbed her a million times, yet, there she stood, "I was out of control...I had- Ayane had elbowed Hayate in the stomach, sending him flying back and hitting a tree far from where he had been. In a sense, this was a good thing. He had lured Ayane away from the others.

"I want no excuses. The only reason I'm here now...is because you HADN'T killed me. I had been found and taken to the hospital...where I suffered for so long. Not only from physical pain...but from mental anguish. I had killed Ryu, you had killed me. After I healed I began following Kasumi, watching from afar. What do you think I did when I realized that Ryu was still alive? I went crazy, I could barely contain myself. I had...turned into a blood thirsty maniac. Now, I want your blood..." Ayane unsheathed her blade and rushed forward. Hayate got up straight and front flipped over her, he landed on his feet and back flipped, kicking Ayane in the process. He stomped on her back and pushed her to the ground, he put his blade to the back of her head, "Make sure you finish me this time...make sure you kill me." Ayane said as tears began to flow from her eyes. Hayate sighed and backed up. He helped Ayane up and embraced her,

"I'm sorry." Hayate said. Ayane didn't know how to reply, she just stood there in a daze, slowly regaining her sanity. Ayane pushed Hayate away and began running away, "Ayane, wait!" Hayate shouted, following after her. They were soon out of the forest, Ayane was moving at a god like speed. They ran for what seemed like an eternity, but Hayate could keep up easily. Soon, Ayane stopped in the middle of a village. She turned to a villager and cut their head off, blood spilling onto her face, "What are you doing!" Hayate shouted.

"If you don't want to get hurt...leave." Ayane replied. Soon, the sound of helicopters coming was heard, "The whole world wants me dead by now. There is nothing left for me...I'll die like I should have so long ago..." Hayate backed away as soldiers began descending from the helicopters, they circled Ayane and held their firearms up, "Good bye, Hayate. Take care of Kasumi, huh?" Ayane smiled as the soldiers opened fire, she shook wildly and hit the ground, dead. Hayate backed away and began to run back to the forest.

"Don't worry Ayane, I will."

Ok, so there, I closed up a plot hole. It was only an extra chapter so I didn't need it to be a long read. If there are any more plot holes, tell me and I'll close them up. But for now, see you all later.
