Okay I'mma just say this right away before you read the chapter and flip out: Double post this week! I'll be posting the next chapter later today! :D
Anyway, I have had this chapter planned out since the middle of friken December. I've been slowly adding onto it and editing as new changes to the story arrives, but the biggest focal point has remained the same since the beginning… Please don't hate me… actually, I'll still be laughing sadistically no matter what.
Thank you all for the fave, follows and reviews, I'm glad to know people hate cliffhangers as much as I do!
Pr1nc3ss K3nny: Yeah Itachi and Kimimaro are safe from death in this fic, but writing Jiraiya's death was pretty hard. I went through several variation before getting the version I was happy with.
Ringo1327: Jiraiya is one of those characters that I really struggled with handling, cause there was stuff I wanted to do and also things I knew I would not be able to do, so I had to chose. You'll see how Deidara handles telling them the truth in this chapter! :D Don't worry about asking too many questions, I just won't answer most of them to avoid spoilers. I'm glad that you've enjoyed this story so far, what became a side hobby has now become a passion project for me and I'm grateful that I have all you guys supporting me. :)
Shinobi of the Hidden Leaf: The fact everyone is upset about the cliffhangers makes me laugh sadistically to myself. I had so much fun at my convention, even though I sounded like a horse the entire time lol.
Evilshallprevail: I know, considering Kimimaro is usually the one that is able to keep Deidara calm, but this whole ordeal hit him way too hard this time.
VenaHope: I sent you a PM but I'm not sure if you got it, but I reanimated Izuna in chapter 36 at the request of Madara.
Tawnypelt37: Sorry I made you cry, to be honest I'm really desensitized by his death by now… I guess I just never really bonded with that character like I did with others. (Actually Jiraiya being dead was one of the first things I learned about the show thanks to how I was introduced to the series.)
cdog1019: Using his arm is indeed a valid thing that he could do, but there would not be enough to use against Pein, not to mention it could easily be deflected as the guy would see it coming. Also, I never watched the boat arc so I'm not including that as canon for my fic, not to mention I am pretty sure he channeled his chakra on the boat so he could use it.
: Those are some pretty old chapters, so most of that stuff already has happened a long time ago in the fic. The SI was extremely cautious at that time and it isn't until the last… meh, 15 or so chapters have they become open with the whole "By the way… this is gonna happen next." stuff. Also the Nagato thing wouldn't work, because Jiraiya never talked about those students to anyone but Tsunade and Orochimaru because he thought they died a long time ago.
setokayba2n: Sadly with the way I had written this chapter out, it has a cliffhanger. Sorry. True, Deidara could have used that, but he was distracted by the fact that everyone and their best friend was trying to kill him and Jiraiya.
Ninja of Mojito: I'm glad you're liking the story! Double post this week! Woohoo!
eyann85: Thanks for giving my story a chance though, I know you won't see this but I do end up stop using AN in the middle. But since it's a long process to get to that point, I wouldn't want you to force yourself just for that. ^^ Thank you for the support!
MLOM: Stabby stab! :D Mwahahahahaha! Zetsu is in fact alive, he's only encountered Deidara once so he is still around… for now. Frankly the S rank criminal thing is nothing at this point, Deidara collects them like a 9 year old collects pokemon cards. You'll just have to see what I do with them in these next two chapters.
Guest: Challenge accepted.
Liam: You and Guest the same person? Or do great minds just think alike? Sorry if the cliffhangers get a little annoying, the story doesn't flow right if I put something at the end to bring closure, especially if I continue an arc within two chapters.
Kashin: Nope. Don't plan on reading Boruto anytime soon with all the stuff I'm hearing about it, plus Kishimoto isn't even drawing the mangas anymore so I don't see the point in it.
crazby: Wow… you are almost as sadistic as me… I like it.
"Blah" - Flashback quotes… you'll see.
Warning: Language, violence, character death, emotional breakdowns… all the fun stuff.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
"You're… what?"
I bite my lip as Naruto was slowly sputtering unfinished sentences, trying to rope around what I had just told him. Slowly, I look up to Itachi with a small smile, "Is it okay if… you know…"
Itachi smiles before nodding to my unspoken question, "Everyone but team 7, Kimimaro and Deidara please close your eyes." Thankfully, everyone obeyed as Itachi activated his mangekyou once again to place us all in Tsukuyomi.
Feeling more relaxed with the change in scenery, I look to the confused chibis rubbing the back of my head sheepishly, "It's better if I show you parts of the… original timeline, un." Before I show them my memories, I briefly mention to them about my past, how this world was a popular anime in my world and how I grew up watching their world play out in front of me. I also warned them to stay away from my memories that had fanfictions or fanarts… but then again we have an Uchiha in the mix… so he's gonna snoop.
Throughout the whole thing, Kimimaro has remained quiet, until now, "Nii-sama… please do not show me what I would have been in this other time. I… I don't want to imagine what my life would have been like than what I have right now, the life I'm happy with." He looks at his feet, almost expecting me to be mad at him. He looked at me in surprise when I pulled him into a tight hug.
"It would have hurt me more if you knew… some things are best left unsaid and unknown." Kissing the side of his head, I let Itachi poke into my memories, "I think… you all should see one of the biggest changes… by me existing…"
One Tsukuyomi hour later
I observe the four of them watch in horror as my memories played out the Sasuke vs Deidara fight. This was what happened next in that time after Orochimaru's death, so I felt it was appropriate to show them this fight in particular. Halfway through the fight Itachi had left to watch other memories of mine, not wanting to see more of the original Deidara's insanity. Everyone else had… interesting reactions.
"So… Deidara-nii really was a member of the Akatsuki… and he died in this fight..."
"I prefer Deidara-sensei as he is now… this one is scary and insane…" Thanks Sakura, I appreciate the sentiments.
"There are a lot of issues with this fight… Nii-sama shouldn't be losing in this battle, at the very least he should have noticed those flying shurikens. Something tells me everyone in the Akatsuki lost their common sense at some point..."
"What the hell am I wearing?"
I proceed to choke on air after hearing Sasuke's comment, "Y-you see… This is is why I've controlled what you all wear these past years, the clothes you wear now are an improvement. That outfit is what you would have worn if you trained with Orochimaru… Kami only knows what it took to convince you to wear something that exposed your chest 24/7, un."
Sasuke scoffed, watching the other him get eaten away by C4, waving his hand dismissively, "There is no way I would wear something like that…"
"Reminds me of a stripper, dattebayo."
Everyone was now staring at Naruto blankly… how does he…? Nevermind, sexy jutsu and I never restricted what he read after the age of 13.
Now I had to hold in my laughter as my Sasuke looked like he wanted to punch the other Sasuke in the mouth as the original Deidara just finished yelling at him. I don't blame him either. It's amazing how a small change in attitude could make me absolutely adore the Uchiha in front of me, while simultaneously wanting to murder the exact same person on the screen, "Are there any other things you want to see?" Incoming original Deidara blowing himself up… oooooh, bad timing.
Everyone pauses and exchange glances with each other, Kimimaro was the first to shake his head, followed by Sakura and then the boys. Naruto spoke for the four of them, "I… If showing us more proof leads to… seeing things like this… I don't think any of us want to know more. We believe you Deidara-nii, dattebayo."
But after those words were uttered, Sakura's eyes lit up, "Are there any memories of Sasuke-kun as a baby?" Sasuke's face turned bright red the moment I grew a devilish grin, oh how I love my student.
"Itachi~ Please play that scene where Izumi held Duck-kun for the first time, un!"
Several Tsukuyomi hours later
When Itachi finally broke the genjutsu, everyone but Kimimaro had faces that could be mistaken for tomatoes, "I told you all not to go near the fanart, you are sooooooo lucky it was my mind that you snooped, un."
"Why… why was there… why would Teme and I…? I mean, he likes Sakura-chan… why were there no…? And why were you with… why was there so much of you with that puppet guy and the masked guy… I thought you hated him? WHY DID I KEEP SEEING YOU AND ITACHI?! I DON'T NEED TO SEE THAT, DATTEBAYO!"
Sakura was giggling her head off to the point where she was leaning on Sasuke for support. When Tsunade and Shizune questioned what she saw… she just kept giggling, "I-I'm going to go… heehee… talk to pffff… Karin and Ino… Bye!" The kunoichi ran out the room before any of the boys could stop her.
I allowed the boys to recover from the shock, it honestly did not take long as Naruto found himself staring at the animal path, his facing going from red to pale in a matter of minutes. Clearing my throat, I get their attention, "It's getting late, we should all go home now, un." Just as I was going to help Itachi up, Naruto tugged on the hem of my shirt and stared at me with sad eyes, "... Itachi, I'm going to spend the night with my brothers… is that okay with you?"
Itachi gave me a soft smile as Sasuke was the one to help him stand, "That's fine, I'll see you tomorrow Dei." We exchange quick kisses goodbye before going our separate ways.
Entering the apartment, it's obvious that while the two kept the place clean, it still looks like two men live here as the decor was different. If anything the place looks unlived in, as things were in order and since these two often have sleepovers at Neji and Sasuke's places when not on missions, I guess most of the time they just use this house to eat.
Washing my face, I climb into Naruto's bed as he snuggled into my arms, Kimimaro finished the brother sandwich by laying on the opposite side of Naruto and held him, his old dragon plush was used as a pillow… I didn't know he still kept that. Things remained quiet for a moment, until I felt the front of my shirt becoming wet and Naruto was shaking. Looking down… I couldn't see his face, but the heavy breathing gave away everything. Kimi and I exchanged glances before our hold on Naruto tightened as sobs escaped his lips, within seconds our little brother was wailing into my chest at the loss of his beloved teacher.
Neither of us spoke, we just took turns running our hand through Naruto's spiky hair until his breathing slowed down and sleep took over him. My heart ached seeing this little ball of sunshine broken down because of Jiraiya's death, I can only hope he'll grow to embrace the legacy Jiraiya left him.
A couple weeks later
Pein will be attacking Konoha anytime now, there's no beating around the bush on this one. Even if they captured Sora, the Gedo statue would need more chakra to summon the Juubi and bring the world into Infinite Tsukuyomi.
I avoided going on the mission with Naruto to handle the Rokubi arc. I love shippuden, and I would have loved to fight Pein again, but there is no way in hell I was going to deal with that arc… besides, I needed to prepare for the invasion.
I spent the majority of the weeks with Minami and Shisui, they're still too young to fully recognize me or Itachi so I need to get them use to us. Thankfully, Itachi was there to help me as I had no idea how to parent infants. No amount of reading could prepare me for the wave of paranoia each cry would cause me.
Not long after Naruto was taken to Mount Myoboku to train in sage mode, Asuma, Kurenai and many others unable to fight were sent to nearby villages for their protection. We had to do this discretely to avoid panic in the village, and removing every civilian in the village would cause Pein to avoid Konoha and use them as hostages. It's easier this way.
As a result, I'm taking Minami and Shisui to a safehouse I had prepared days after their birth. It settled on the border between the Land of Stone and the Land of Fire, known only by Itachi, myself, Tsunade and Onoki. I didn't even tell any of my chibis, if things get too nasty and they left to find the babies, it would put them in danger.
… Well, "would" if it wasn't for the fact that I have some babysitters in mind.
Entering the safehouse I look around, in reality it's just a large traditional Japanese home with some modern functions like electricity, heat and water. Right in the middle of the main room were two plain bassinets. There were no special frills or plush cushions, just a firm mattress and overhanging curtains to block unwanted sunlight.
Setting the twins in their beds, I kiss their foreheads before summoning the Hokages and Uchiha brothers… Oh right, I forgot to tell Madara that I reanimated them.
"Hashirama?! When did-? How are you-? Deidara." Madara slowly turned his head in my direction, almost scolding me with just a disapproving glare. Oh wait, he is- and now his arms are crossed, I'm in so much trouble.
"Uhhhh… surprise? Heheh…" I nervously rub the back of my head while slowly inching towards Hashirama for safety, "I was going to tell you… eventually, un."
"Uh huh." The flatness of his tone was enough to tell me that he didn't believe me, "Why were we summoned?"
I motion to the bassinets, "Itachi and I had children, Madara-sama. Konoha is in danger and I need you four to keep them safe while I'm away, un." The moment I had said children, Madara and Hashirama did not hesitate to investigate the infants. Tobirama and Izuna were more focused on glaring at each other.
"Wow! These are beautiful children Deidara-san! They look like their father! … Ah! Not saying that you're not beautiful, I'm certain if you were a woman you would be quite the eye-mrph!" Hashirama was quickly silenced by Madara smacking a gloved hand over his mouth. For once I'm grateful of Madara's overprotectiveness, I didn't need to hear Hashirama fumble and accidentally flirt with me.
"That is enough out of you, Hashirama…" Madara nods to me, looking pleased, "They are indeed beautiful, I can tell their chakra is strong and the Uchiha blood runs thick in their veins… perhaps marrying outside of the clan could have made stronger generations." Humming to himself he gets Minami's attention when locks of his hair tickles her nose.
At first, she just stared at it blankly… and then she sneezed. The sudden noise and the fact the tickling feeling didn't leave her nose set her in a flurry of cries. Shisui joined in shortly after hearing his twin in distress and his mother didn't respond fast enough for his liking apparently.
Taking long strides over, I scoop up Minani and bounce her in my arms, "Shhhhh…. Baby it's okay, you're okay." Humming softly, the little girl fell asleep in my arms as Shisui instantly goes quiet. Lovely, good to know if Minami wants something, her wonderful big brother will definitely make sure mom hears.
Sighing softly, I return Minami to her bed, "Please, keep them safe…"
The person to respond to my plea surprised me, "We'll make sure no one goes near them while you are away, so protect the village." Tobirama crosses his arms before looking at the babies, sniffing slightly at the fact he was protecting Uchiha children.
Biting my lip slightly, I nod at the Nidaime Hokage, "Thank you. I made sure everything you will need is in the house, un." I bow to the four respectfully before running outside to fly to Konoha.
An hour later
3rd person POV
Hashirama and Madara watched their younger brothers beating the shit out of each other from the porch. The infants were fast asleep at the moment and Madara took it upon himself, to entertain himself with some scrolls Deidara left in the house for them.
Suddenly, a cry was heard and Hashirama sprang into action, picking up Shisui and checking his diaper. With a reluctant sigh, he takes the infant to the changing table as Madara watched in shock.
"That… doesn't bother you at all?" Madara couldn't see himself changing an infant's diaper, let along watch his old friend do that.
Hashirama chuckled as he cleaned a very miffed Shisui, who after crying was glaring daggers at the Senju, "I became a father and grandfather Madara, this is all the natural duties of being a parent. Mito would make me, at least once a week, be the sole caretaker of our children. Helped me learn to respect mothers more. Oh aren't you cute! You have the Uchiha glare!" Squealing in happiness, Hashi booped Shisui's nose, who looked as if he was any other age would have noped out of there.
Since Shisui could plainly see what was in front of him, the two adults could almost hear the list in his head.
Adult? Yes. Mom? Definitely not, not pretty enough. Dad? If that was his father he wouldn't have screamed in the first place, a whimper would be enough. And he didn't recognize the face from any of the other grown-ups… Time to scream.
First it was a hiccup, then watery eyes, and soon Shisui was screaming to the high heavens. It was loud enough for Izuna and Tobirama to stop fighting and wait for things to happen. Since Shisui screams when Minami cries, they were expecting the reaction to be mutual between the twins. Instead, Minami was more preoccupied in the breathtaking discovery that was her foot.
Madara quickly shoved Hashirama away and picked up Shisui, "Quit crying. You are an Uchiha, and Uchihas do not cry."
"Madara!" Hashirama began to chastise, "That is not how you get an infant to stop cry-"
Lo and behold, Shisui was instantly silent.
The four stood there in shock for a moment, before Hashirama began to grow an emo cloud, "I… I'm gonna make sure Minami doesn't eat her foot…" Walking off, Madara felt pride swell in his chest as the infant in his arms fell asleep.
"The Uchiha blood really is strong in these two."
Back with Deidara
Deidara's POV
Konoha was in a state of chaos when I returned, hell asura path tried to bomb down my bird the moment I was within one of the path's sights. I had to dodge missiles and summons as I made my way to Itachi and Sasuke. They were easy to find, I just had to look for fireball jutsus and listen for chidori.
"Itachi! Duck-kun!" Leaping off my bird, I send it flying at the chameleon-like summon they were fighting, forcing it to poof away, "Where's Kimimaro, un?"
Sasuke sighed and ran a hand through his hair, "He's with Team Gai watching over the villagers we had evacuated. You're late, you know that right?" All he got from me was a cheeky grin, "Of course you know."
"Dei, the babies?" Itachi looked at me intensely, sharingan occasionally locking on with nearby movement.
"Safe, don't worry about them." I kept the answer short, gently kissing him on the lips. I also couldn't sense Daiki, so he must be with Team Gai, "I'm gonna take care of Pein's summons and help out with asura path, bastard is dead if he thinks I'm gonna let him steal my thunder, un."
Sasuke glared at me, "No, you need to stay with us. This Pein guy will want you for information. We're stronger than you so we will protect you during the invasion."
I snort while clapping my clay filled hands together, "What's the fun in being protected during one of the most chaotic times in this world's history? Just get away from this area, if human path gets Shizune then this whole village is going to be flattened, un." Throwing my creation in the air, I allow it to poof into full size.
Pein thinks he's powerful? Let's see if his summons and paths can deal with a rayquaza.
Catching sight of Pein's bird summon, I give the brothers a grin that could put the cheshire cat to shame and flew off on my massive dragon. Seems my presence has been noticed, as several new creatures came flying at me. I didn't recognize any of the summons from the anime, all of them were chimera like and all of them were aiming for me.
It became more of an air dance than a battle, twisting around and effortlessly using rayquaza's tail to smack the summons away. Adrenaline caused my heart to pump into my ears as on multiple occasions I nearly fell off. But even then I was laughing with insane glee and victory as the last flying summon poofed away.
My attention was captured at the sound of fluttering paper nearby, "Kona-" A hand was placed on top of my head, and I lost the feeling in my legs. Falling to my knees as I feel my very mind separate from my body. I couldn't blink, I couldn't move, I could barely breath.
"As his brother, you would know where Uzumaki Naruto is." No… Human Path… Those summons were distractions huh? Just to buy time for human path to get closer.
There was no point in struggling, not like I could move in the first place. The moment his hand leaves my head… I'm dead.
For a moment, all I could hear was the sound of Pein's chakra and my own heartbeat... but then he spoke, "Mount Myoboku… training with the toads, and… so you do know true pain. You have quite the collection of knowledge… Lily."
My heart dropped, he knows and I bet this is earlier than what happened in the anime, that or I took Shizune's place. I can't believe this… I failed.
"If we were not on a tight schedule I would be taking you with me, as long as my hand does not leave your head I can continue to learn more from you. It's a shame to lose someone who knows true pain, and someone who… was originally going to be our... ally." I could faintly hear confusion laced in his tone, as if he found something he didn't expect, "One can only imagine how fast our goal could have been achieved with this knowledge. Farewell… Deidara."
His hand slowly removed from my head, and I felt a weird tugging sensation, similar to that of flushing out your ears with water. Soon my body went cold.
And then there was nothing.
3rd person POV
Sasuke's attention was deprived from a ground chimera when he sensed something was wrong. Turning his head up, he watched the Pein with long hair pull something ethereal, but human shape out of Deidara. Deidara's dragon poofed away as the Pein leaped off to a roof to watch, and the blond falling lifelessly towards the ground.
"Deidara…? DEIDARA!"
That wasn't Sasuke. It was Itachi, catching Deidara and his legs giving out due to momentum. Sasuke watched as his brother shook the blond, only to notice the glaze covering… both of Deidara's eyes. He never opens both eyes. Why wasn't he moving?
'No…'
"Dei? Wake up. This isn't a game, you need to snap out of it! Please, I don't find this funny! Why are you not responding?!" Sasuke has never seen his brother so panicked, "Come on, wake up! Please…" But there was no movement. Maybe Deidara was under a genjutsu? Yeah, that has to be the case. He's cocky that's for sure, but would never get himself hurt-
Crack
The brothers snapped their heads to Itachi's ring. The ruby cracked, then cracked again… and then some more. The brilliant blood red slowly morphed to that of a pale pink as the cracks danced outward like a spider's web. The very air within them was sucked out as the gem shattered, and to add insult to injury… Deidara's head lolled to the side, eyes finally succumbing to gravity and closing for good.
Itachi broke, tears poured down his face as he propped his husband in his arms, pressing the blond's forehead to his own, "No… you can't be dead… you died once and had this second chance… why would you die…? Please… please… Please don't… Please don't go… I love… you..." His voice gave out as did the rest of his spirit, his body felt numb, his mind wouldn't process this. The love of his life… the reason he is still alive today was… was...
Overcome by grief... he failed to notice Sasuke.
Sasuke's POV
This had to be some trick! Why would Deidara allow himself to die?! I snap my head up to glance at Pein. He held no remorse, in fact this body seemed to have a permanent state of mild boredom on his face, no traces of guilt or humanity were behind those cold ringed eyes.
"Do you resent me, young Uchiha? This is the consequences of war, people lose the ones they love and converse in a never ending cycle of hatred. Your brother helped our goals towards world peace, only to leave because he chose to love again. I wonder what you plan on doing in response."
'All this to prove a point? Rip away families to bring an example to the world? What kind of justice was that? Was this to punish Nii-san for leaving the Akatsuki…? Or was it something else…?'
"Is the famous Uchiha clan afraid to try a little art?"
Feeling blood drain from my face, I snap my head to look at Itachi and the body of Deidara. That voice… it was his! But he's dead… that sounded so familiar though…
"Sasuke, no one can lie to me. You know this, un."
Shut up…
"Nice Duck-kun, though don't expect me to allow you to rely solely on your new eyes when training, un. I'll start making you fight blindfolded."
Shut up… get out of my head, Deidara.
Memories of Deidara kept flashing in my head, with his stupid speech impediment and overly clingy hugs. The way he acted never made sense, like he was preparing me for something big. All the training and words of wisdom, making me learn to master jutsu without my kekkei genkai. He treated me like family when he already had Naruto, almost instantly watching over me like a guardian angel or some stupid nanny.
Always putting himself in danger to make sure I was safe...
"So yes, one day you will surpass me. But until then, you are someone I will protect at the cost of my own life. Don't like it? Tough. Become stronger than me then."
'But you're dead now… I'm stronger than you now… and yet I...' If I'm from the mighty Uchiha clan, why couldn't I protect someone like Deidara? Why was I unable to keep him safe? Why didn't he listen to me in the first place?!
I grip my head in pain as chakra flood to my eyes, tears and blood poured out and clouded my vision. I hated the man staring down at me… because of him, I lost someone important to me. I lost a friend, a guardian, a teacher… The one who reunited me with Itachi, and became part of my family…
I… I...
"I love you too, Duck-kun."
I lost a brother.
3rd person POV
Chakra swirled around Sasuke as blood pooled from his eyes, Pein watched with blank interest as a purple skeleton surrounded Sasuke's body. The skeleton grew muscles, skin, armor and a face, it glared at Pein as the young Uchiha's eyes became a kaleidoscope, spinning wildly as rational thinking left his body. His mangekyou sharingan finally awoke.
"Nii-san… Take Deidara's body and leave… I'm going to kill this bastard. Deidara died to make sure Naruto was safe… I'm taking that legacy for myself now." Itachi wasn't given a chance to say anything when Sasuke gave chase after Pein. The boy's entire body felt like it was on fire from the pain susano-o was producing, but he swallowed it as his mind was clouded with only the thoughts of ending this man's life.
Swallowing the lump in his throat, Itachi adjust the body in his arms and ran. He ignores the summons vanishing, the Peins leaving the fights only to collapse in front of Konan. He ignored the man he once called leader floating away from the Hokage tower and into the air. One of Katsuyu's clones lands on top of him, absorbing him and Deidara into her body to protect them as Pein uttered his infamous jutsu, while in another area Shima slammed her hand to the ground.
"Shinra Tensei!"
"Summoning jutsu!"
Within seconds, Konoha was reduced to rubble, and Naruto was summoned from Mount Myoboku.
… Yep. I did the unspoken taboo of the SI fanfiction community, I killed my SI before the end of the fic. This was something that was brought to my attention by my beta earlier this week, most SI/OC fic never kill their main character unless it was planned from the beginning (such as an Uchiha OC that dies during the massacre). I've been semi-hinting this for months now and you have no idea how hard it's been keeping it a secret.
Just remember that this is not the end of my fic, not even close. So even though this chapter is most likely breaking some of your hearts… do remember that this is the Pein invasion arc, and a certain event happens at the end. :3
On the bright side… Sasuke got his mangekyou! Yay! Now the brothers can swap eyeballs and not go blind! All of the quotes from Dei were taken from actual moments in the fic, took me forever to find them all. X.X
Like I said in the beginning, I will be posting the next chapter later today. I'm just doing to finishing touches on some events and typing up my AN, so you don't have to wait another week to see what happens. I don't want to be THAT mean.
As always, reviews are loved and I will see you all in a few hours.
Bye!
