Sorry I haven't updated in a while everyone my computer's been crashing! Yes I did change the title, why you ask? Simply cuz I wanted to and Skeleton Tears sounded like a horror fic by the title even though it isn't. This will be the last time I update for a while because I am going on vacation in a few days from now!

Grim Z will be called Grim since it's his nickname and same goes for Simber being called Simba

If you want information on all the Organization XIII members go to the Zatch Bell Forums, click on the one entitled Mamodo Idea, then scroll down until you find the topic Organization XIII Finished, click that and you'll find the data.

THOUGHTS ARE IN ITALICS!

So don't forget to….

R&R!

It was a really long night in Castle Oblivion with Azel constantly checking on Demiz seeing if he had gotten out of the coma.

But it was morning and the monitors hooked up to Demiz a.k.a Mullet Head was still claimed to be in a coma, he still had a pulse so Grim and Azel didn't worry too much.

Then Azel didn't like seeing two sights in the infirmary one, one of his best friends in a coma and two, his other best friend looking moody holding back tears as hard as he could. So Azel took his friend who we all know as Grim outside to get some fresh air until, the Superior's voice came over the Loudspeaker.

"Numbers eight and thirteen in my office now!" Zemnas the "Superior" demanded then the voice went off

"Should we?" Grim asked looking up at his best friend

"That's a good question" said Azel

"Nah" to two friends said in unison and walked off

With King Zatch

The battle for mamodo king had just ended and the mamodo we all know as Zatch was the winner hooray! But he wasn't looking very happy standing next to the window which had a perfect view of Castle Oblivion.

"What's the matter Zatch?" Tia Zatch's best friend asked him

"It's that Organization XIII again" said Zatch "They killed another mamodo" Zatch said with worry on his face

"Who?" Tia asked looking into his eyes

"I don't know her name, but he looks sort of familiar" said Zatch

"Maybe you'll figure it out" said Tia comfortingly

"Like when I lost my memory back on Earth" said Zatch laughing a little bit

"Silly King" said Tia

"But I don't know how we're going to get them to stop killing the innocent" complained Zatch "I can't be a kind king if I can't solve problems!"

"You are a kind King Zatch" said Tia

"Thanks Tia" said Zatch "I just hope we don't have to go to drastic measures"

Tia then gasped out loud

"YOU DON'T MEAN WAR DO YOU!" Tia questioned

Back with Grim

Grim was out taking a walk along the meadow hoping to find his new friend Simba then he saw the familiar furry shape running towards him. Only he was waving his fuzzy arms around madly and yelling.

"GRIM I HAVE TO YOU SOMETHING!" Simba yelled and screeched to a halt when he was right in front of his friend

"Calm down will ya?" Grim asked his friend

"IT'S IMPORTANT!" screamed Simba

"Okay chill what is it?" Grim asked his friend

"King Zatch (huff) is about (huff) to go (huff) to war with the Organization!" Simba yelled while huffing

"You're kidding" said Grim

"I wish I was" said Simba "We have ta get ya outta here now!" yelled Simba panicky

"What war?" a voice asked

Then the figure appeared out a black and dark purplish portal that Grim easily recognized as Azel.

"AAAAHHHHHHHH!" Simba screamed ducking behind Grim hiding behind him

"It's okay I won't kill you" said Azel removing his hood revealing himself to the two

"Where'd you come from?" Grim demanded

"Easy tiger, I just wanted to check up on ya. Got it memorized?" said Azel adding in his catchphrase

"THE KING IS DECLARING A WAR WITH US!" Grim blurted out

"A war against the Organization huh?" said Azel "He won't know what hit his blonde head"

"No fighting!" said Grim

Then Simba had poked his head out from behind Grim revealing his furry face to Azel.

"And who might you be? And by the way, my name's Azel. Got it memorized?" Azel asked Simba

"My name's Simber Hart b-b-but you can c-c-c-call me S-s-s-Simba if you want" Simba stumbled

"I think I've heard about you" said Azel "Was your dad the Great Animal Mamodo Ruler Mafias?" the fire mamodo Organization member asked

"Yessir" said Simba with his head down

"Nothin to be ashamed of" said Azel patting Simba's head as if he was a dog "Nice necklace" said Azel looking at the silver crown with the red S in the middle

"You like it?" questioned Simba "One of my friends gave it to me before, she was found dead this morning" said Simba with a frown on his face and sad eyes

"Who killed her?" Grim asked putting an arm over Simba's shoulder looking into his eyes

"I dunno who did. But the MCI Team said that someone from the Organization did. You however would never kill anyone right?" Simba asked

MCI stands for Mamodo Crime Investigation Team by the way.

"I haven't even killed a fly" said Grim

"Yeah Grim wouldn't harm anyone except another Organization member besides me and Demiz" Azel pointed out

"So what was her name?" Grim and Azel asked in unison

"Nali" said Simba with tears falling freely from his cheeks

Then Azel enclosed both Grim and Simba in a comforting hug to make the tears stop like he would always do for Grim.

"Nali was a lion mamodo to?" Grim asked Simba still in Azel's hug

"Yeah" said Simba "the only one who liked me besides my parents"

Then Azel released the two mamodos from his hug and let them both calm down a little bit.

"However an eye-witness said this Organization member was carrying like a giant sword and he had like, blue hair slightly past his shoulders, yellow eyes, and an X shaped scar across his face" said Simba

"Saize" said Azel and Grim in unison

"Who's he?" Simba asked

"He's a maniac who always looks at the moon an night and will go berserk on ANYONE when he's angry" said Grim

"And the fact that he killed the previous number thirteen" said Azel "Thus leading to the creation of Grim here" Azel explained

"So what should I do?" Grim asked his companions

"I think you should like, hide out in the Ever Night Forest for a while" suggested Simba

"Fine, but I'm going with you" said Azel

"They won't let you in you know" said Simba to Azel

"I know but I just want to take him there myself" said Azel

"That's fine then" said Simba now looking at Grim "Grim, two words be careful" said Simba

"I will" said Grim

"Don't worry I'll take good care of Grim here" said Azel

"Thanks Azel, I just don't want to lose another friend" Simba thanked Azel "Besides I have to get home anyway and help mom get dinner"

"Okay well, see ya Simba" Grim called out to his friend

Simba then turned around and said "see ya buddy" back to Grim and walked off towards the Sun overcastting his shadow.

Then he finally walked so far away that nor Azel or Grim could see there friend anymore.

"He's gone Azel" said Grim

"He sure is a good friend for you" said Azel to Grim who was next to him

Grim let out a sigh of relief and of wanting to see Simba.

"Azel, can you take me to the Ever Night Forest now?" Grim asked Azel

"Teleported or walked?" Azel asked

"Walked" said Grim "So we can be together longer"

"Okay" said Azel and the two began walking towards the country sized forest

As they got closer to the Ever Night Forest everything seemed to get darker as if it was never daytime.

"How do ya feel? Knowing your gonna be by yourself for the first time?" asked Azel with his friend right beside him

"A little nervous but, at least I'll be with my own kind" said Grim looking a little cheerful

When Grim looked up at Azel he saw that his friend didn't look to happy, probably because his best friend was about to leave him for a while.

"Azel" said Grim

"Yeah" said Azel

"Could you um, carry me these boots hurt a lot?" asked Grim

"Sure Grim" said Azel

Then he lifted up his friend and cradled him in his arms like a mother carrying a baby while snuggling Grim close to his body. Why Azel liked doing this to Grim, we will never know, probably some way to comfort your friend.

After about ten minutes of Azel carrying Grim the two approached the Gateway to the Ever Night Forest.

"I'm ready" said Grim and Azel obediently put his friend down

"Just don't make a friend better than me okay Grim?" Azel asked

"Sure Azel" said Grim then Azel did something unexpected; he gave Grim a little peck on the cheekbone

"What was that?" Grim asked his friend

"A goodbye kiss" said Azel

"You know goodbye's not forever right?" Grim asked Azel and approached the gate leaving Azel yards behind him

"I know" said Azel and he made one of his portals and teleported back to Castle Oblivion

With Grim

"Here goes nothing" said Grim as he walked into the gigantic forest past a bunch of trees and into the Ever Night Forest.

I wish Simba, Azel, and Demiz were here with me

Then maybe I wouldn't be so afraid of this place

Of unkown

Then Grim's thoughts changed when he saw the most spectacular thing he ever saw.

How do y'all like it so far?

Yay! Grim finally made it to the Ever Night Forest!

(cheering)

Hmm I wonder who he will meet there.

Y'all are gonna have to read the next chappy to find out and NEVER forget to review!
