Well, here we are, at the final chapter. You know, every time I go to write 'final chapter' in any of my fics I always want to write 'final countdown' instead...and I don't even like the song...ah well. I got so many reviews, I think the replies are going to be longer than the chapter! But, seeing as all those people took the time to review, it's only fair that I take the time to reply. Or that's what I think, anyway!

Just that good: Yeah, Kai was kind of unlucky falling over like that, but I felt like being mean to him... And I'll try to keep doing good stuff (can't promise it'll -always- be good, but I'll try!).

Kitsune: Here, have an Echo Screen (sorry, very bad Final Fantasy reference- they cure the silence status). I'm glad you like the story so far. Pity this is the last chapter...

Endoh Chiaki: I think it's funny when -anyone- gets mad at Kai, but I like making Rei angry. I don't really know why, it just amuses me!

Ropponmatsu III: Your name is so funky...and yeah, it was pretty stupid, falling down stairs...

Helen: Hmm, no lemon this time. I'll have to practise a bit, I've never written one before and if it's crap I won't post it. Patience, and I will try one someday...

Ellen: Bah, normal schmormal. I don't think I've been normal since I was born... But anyway, yeah. Kai had lots of bad 'ness, with the whole falling down stairs thing. Hee, I'm so cruel...

Platinum Rei: I'm glad you're enjoying it!

Lil-inu: I really don't get why that story didn't get more reviews. I'd recommend it to my friends, but apart from the fact that I only have two who are into fanfiction, and neither of them like Gundam wing! Still, for what it's worth, I thought the fic was good.

Kiko cat: I would say terribly dense. But in this chapter he isn't either- selfish or dense! See, I said it'd be a happy ending!

Miriam906: Well, I'm glad you liked the rest of it, and here's the end!

Novae Rog Spirit: Wow. Well, I'm glad you like the story...and please don't hunt me down! I value my fanfiction-obsessed existence!

Delores L: Love and peace to you too! And don't think of this as the ending of a story- think of it as being the beginning of a gap while I sort out another story! I was thinking of doing a lot more work on the Rei being put to death one, I'm in a cruel mood right now...I've been revising DNA and this is my well-earned break. I'll spend the rest of it torturing the characters!

Ice Spirit: here you go- wait no more!

Animeobsession: Writing lessons? Um. Okay, here goes:

If you have a new speaker, put them on a new line- it's a hell of a lot easier to read if they're all separate!

Use paragraphs- it's incredibly annoying to find a good fic that you can't read because you keep losing your place!

It doesn't always have to be IC (in character)- people react differently to different situations.

Make sure you have a good summary- a bad summary repels people.

I can't think of anything else, so ya. Just go with whatever you think is right, and when you post the fic, tell me and I'll have a read!

SaFire flamE: Thanks!

Darkangelintheshadows: Heh, now he's in full-time employment, he's learned to be a little less calm!

Neet: Well, that was sort of the idea- Kai's half-crippled and Rei's emotionally scarred, cut them a little bit of slack! Anyway, they've sorted themselves out now, so scroll on down and I hope you enjoy the last chapter!

Midnightdark: Well I'm a black belt in...in...pen clicking! And I'll...click you right outta town! Heh. Um. Please don't hunt me down, as I said above, I like my fanfiction-obsessed existence! Anyway, I said it would be a happy ending before...

SoulSister: Here you go, here's the update!

Devilburns: I agree, most wholeheartedly, they are good together!

Little-Purple-Phoenix: If you scroll down just a little way you get to see Kai blushing!

CreativeChilde: I hurried...sort of. The update is approximately...some distance down the page!

Whew, after all those replies, here's the actual chapter!

"Mr. Hiwatari?" Kai turned to find a pretty female journalist behind him. She was thin and blonde, and her outfit seemed to be designed to draw attention to her obviously fake breasts. "I'm Kayla. Can I ask you some questions?"

"Feel free."

The journalist opened her mouth to launch into her bank of pre-prepared questions, but paused when a girl with long black hair shrouding her face made her way over, standing next to Kai. "Um?" Kai smiled.

"Oh. Sorry. This is my boyfriend, Rei." The 'girl' looked up, and Kayla gasped.

"Oh. Right. Well, ah... How did you two meet?"

Rei curled a tanned arm around Kai's waist and smiled. "Oh, we've known each other since we were young, but we only got together recently."

"Right, and...about your new factory, Mr. Hiwatari...do you think it'll be a success?"

"Well...I've been thinking about expanding into the Chinese market for some time, now. In fact, I'm so absorbed with this project, I moved in just down the road, near a nice spa I found once when I had a car accident...I sometimes go there for massages if I've had a hard day at work..."

"Oh? And...your boyfriend doesn't...object?"

Kayla didn't understand why Kai and Rei burst out laughing after she said that. "No, I don't think he does..."

"Kai, don't tease! I don't object because I'm the one -doing- the massage- I'm a physiotherapist!"

"Oh, right!" Right, so...well, Rei, what do you think of Mr. Hiwatari?" Rei leaned his head against Kai's chest and smiled.

"What do I think of him? Well...I'm very satisfied with the size of his penis..." Kai blushed furiously.

"Rei!" Kayla blinked.

"Right...um...well I'm gonna...go this way..." She disappeared and Rei laughed. Kai tried to control his rebellious cheeks, folding his arms and shifting away from his lover, embarrassed but at the same time quite flattered. He'd be damned if he told Rei that though... "Rei, I can't believe you said that!"

"What?" Rei asked, his face the very picture of innocence. "It's only the truth...anyway, it got rid of her, didn't it? And do you really think she's going to write an article about your penis?" Kai sighed heavily.

"You don't know any journalists, do you Rei?"

"No. Why?"

"It shows."

Rei sighed and shut off the shower, grabbing a towel and starting to dry himself off. As he walked back into his room he was suddenly confronted by a folded newspaper, which swung down in front of his face. Automatically, he started to read it.

HORNY HIWATARI

At the recent launch of yet another Hiwatari factory, I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Hiwatari's boyfriend, Rei. When I asked for Rei's opinion of his partner, his only comment was that he was 'very satisfied with the size of his penis'. Mr. Hiwatari himself revealed that Rei is actually a physiotherapist, and that the two of them often enjoy a steamy sauna together at the health spa Rei works at. Well, readers, what else can I say but 'wow'? Mr. Hiwatari seems to be quite the lover if his sexy boyfriend is anything to go by!

By Kayla Ashford

Rei burst out laughing as he finished the short article, and took the paper, lowering it to reveal a miffed-looking Kai. "Half the world is reading about my penis! This is your fault!" Rei was still howling with laughter, wiping tears from his eyes. "It's not funny!"

"But Kai...they only said -nice- things about you! They could have said you were a sex-junkie or a whore!"

"I've never been in a sauna with you! It's all lies!"

"No it isn't. Most of it's true. I mean, I did say all of that, and you are quite the lover!"

"Excuse me?" Kai blushed and looked distinctly embarrassed. Rei smirked, throwing the paper to the floor and winding his arms around Kai's waist and back. "-I- think you're quite the lover...and wouldn't I be the one to know about it?" He leaned closer and pressed a delicate kiss to Kai's lips. "And...if you'd rather the article was all true...I don't think there's anyone in the sauna right now..." Kai moved his face closer to Rei's and kissed him deeply, hands finding Rei's waist and pulling him closer. Rei, still totally naked, slid his still damp arms up Kai's shirt, making the Russian gasp and pull away from the kiss.

"Rei...would anyone...disturb us in the sauna?" Rei leaned back in Kai's arms, feigning innocence.

"Why wouldn't we want to be disturbed, Kai?" Kai pushed Rei back against the wall and pushed himself up against him. Rei felt a tell-tale bulge against his leg and smirked again. "Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me?"

"There is a gun, but that's not it." Kai leaned into Rei's neck and nibbled on it gently, drawing a slight moan from Rei's parted lips. "You're a damned tease, Rei..."

"I do my best..." Rei gasped, as Kai moved down to his chest, tongue seeking out Rei's nipples and teasing them into tightness. Suddenly he pushed Kai away. "Come on. Sauna. Now." He grabbed his towel off the floor and wrapped it around his waist, grabbing Kai by the hand and practically dragging him down the corridor. He paused at the door of the sauna and started unbuttoning Kai's shirt. As he reached the last button he reached over and flicked a switch on the wall. A light flashed up behind a panel that read 'In use, do not disturb.'

Rei tore open the last button and ripped away the shirt, leaning closer and pressing his face to Kai's chest. "Come on, Mr. Hiwatari...I want to make sure I was telling the whole truth in that article..."

Kai was only too happy to oblige and put Rei's mind at rest.
