Lyserg is not dead. I swear. He's only got a humungo bruise because in my opinion a person has to go through alot of hurt to knock them out. But he cooouuuld die soon, if he doesn't recieve medical treatment soon.

And I wanna go back to U.S.A. I'm having a not too good time here.. (cries)

Gah!! I need to find a way to end this goshdarn story!!! Perhaps this could be the last chapter?.. :)

"Lyserg-kun!!" Pirika screamed again, trying to wiggle out of Anna's grip.

"Stop Pirika!!" Anna cried, but when someone's as hysterical as Pirika was at the moment, things just go in one ear and come out the other.

"Lyserg!!! Don't die!! Don't die!!" Pirika wasn't sure if she was still screaming, she just was focusing on trying not to cry, but even when she squeezed her eyes shut she felt a big tear fall out and she could still see Lyserg's lifeless body.

Tensui kicked Lyserg's body toward Yoh and Ren, who picked him up without taking their eyes off him.

"I don't need to finish him off in this situation." Tensui sighed and tilted his head to the side. "But I do hate the fact we got beaten by mere shamans.." He gave a swift glare to everyone. Pirika had stopped screaming and Anna's arms loosened for a second, but Pirika was already running.

'Taking track did help.' She thought.

Pirika darted past Horo-Horo and Ryuu and dropped over Kasai's limp body. She snatched a needle and held it right above his throat, prepared to stab.

Kasai's eyes blinked in surprise. He licked his lips before asking, "Well? What do you want now? I've already spared your friends."

"Information." Surprisingly, Pirika's voice didn't quaver. But her knees shook slightly.

"About?" Tensui drawled, trying to keep himself calm. 'This isn't supposed to happen.'

"Why you're trying to kill us." Pirika said, using her stating-the-obvious voice. "And what you are." She quickly added.

"Hmmph. Why wouldn't I want to kill you? You're a threat to us Shinigamis." Tensui waited for it to sink in.

Anna's mouth became slack. Yoh, Ren, Horo-Horo, and Ryuu looked at the guy as if he was drunk and crazy. Tamao kept her same scared face. Pirika became expressionless.

"What exactly is a shinigami?" Pirika asked.

Tensui looked like he was gonna give a rude retort, but caught himself and answered calmly. "A being that takes other people's, well.. Life." He couldn't help but add, "A being above Shamans, and less known."

"Less known?" Pirika asked.

Tensui smiled. "If it was known that we even existed, then there would be quite a few people out to kill us, no? We're almost the opposite of shamans."

Pirika shifted uncomfortably. "But, why did you need to kill me?"

Tensui's eyes narrowed. "If there was one like you, that can predict times of death, and stop those meant ot die, there would be quite a problem."

"But, it's not like I can stop everyone from dying!!" Pirika cried.

"No, but you can change fate. Which will be a problem. Some people are meant to die for the sake of others." Tensui said.

"But why, everyone's death is equal, right?? People shouldn't have to die for other people?? Why can't they just have a peaceful death?!! WHY DID YOU TRY TO KILL MY FRIENDS?!!!?!" Pirika cried, forgetting where she was, letting herself get caught in the moment.

Tensui was quiet for a second. "We Shinigami don't control how to kill people, we only take their lives, and bring their souls elsewhere. And, we guessed that your friends were meant to die in that explosion."

Pirika took a quick intake of breath before letting go of Kasai but held the needle still, she walked stiffly back to everyone and sat down.

Tensui snapped his fingers and everything dissapeared.

Pirika bit her lip until it was red and the needle in her hand dissapeared as well. Then she fainted.

Later...

Pirika's eyelids suddenly fluttered open. She blearily looked around the room. "Where is.. Where is everyone?" She asked herself.

The room she was in was white and blank looking. There was a picture of a purple flower, which vaguely brought up a memory of when her brother ate one that looked like that when they were five...

He also said it tasted good.

Pirika got up and tiptoed to the door. 'Maybe everyone's outside' She opened the door and prayed it wouldn't squeak. But there still was no one there.

"Where is everyone?" Pirika asked herself, chewing on her lip. She glanced around. "Gah, so many doors..." She winced and grabbed the handle of the one closest to her.

Suddenly the door flew open and Pirika was drenched in light. She squeaked and covered her eyes.

"P-Pirika?" A person said. Pirika lowered her arm and peeked out. Her mouth dropped.

"Lyserg-kun!!" She gasped happily. She ran forward and knocked him over.

"Gah!!" Lyserg cried, waving his arms around.

Pirika squealed happily and didn't even seem to notice they were on the ground.

"Pirika?" Lyserg squeaked. "Could you.." He trailed off, and his face turned bright red.

"Hmm?" Pirika asked.

"Get off, please?" He mumbled, looking away.

Pirika's face flamed red, she finally realized they weren't standing up.

"Ahem, not to try and ruin your moment, but... We can't exactly talk to you like this." A voice behind them said smuggly.

Pirika leapt off Lyserg as if he was on fire and spun around to face the intruder.

"H-hey!! It's you! What are you doing here?!?" Pirika cried, because, dun dun dun dun!! The people behind her were, Kasai, Tensui, Koudo, Kirai. "I can scream REALLY loud!! Like REALLY loud!!"

"Shut up.. God." Kasai muttered.

"We're not here to kill anyone." Tensui said with a smile.

"Wha-! You could be lying!! You could!!" Pirika cried, shaking Lyserg by his collar, for almost no reason.

"Don't worry, their not." Anna muttered, walking inside the rather cramped doorway.

"They said they'll take care of you now, Pirika-san." Tamao called from behind everyone. "They won't try to kill us anymore."

"Wha- really?" Pirika squeaked.

"Y-yes.." Lyserg gasped, trying to breathe.

"Oh, sorry Lyserg-kun." Pirika said, dropping him. "But.. Why?"

"Well, we don't actually care about you, it's just that we've received orders not to kill you." Kirai said.

"Well.. Oh.." Pirika mumbled, looking down. "Well it's all good then!!" She chirped.

"Pirika!!" A loud voice cried. Everyone turned around to face the doorway, and saw a very red faced and sweating Ren and Horo-Horo.

"Is she okay??" This time Ren was speaking. Pirika blinked and tilted her head.

"Hey!! Move!!" Horo-Horo roared at Kasai.

"Bastard." Kasai muttered under his breath.

"Hey, are you guys gonna have a heart attack or something?" Pirika asked.

This time Horo-Horo and Ren blinked.

Pirika waited for them to answer.

"Wha- No!! We were just checking to see if you were okay!!" Ren shouted, then slapped his hand over his mouth. "Because you know, we all care about you, because you know..." He mumbled, turning around.

Pirika looked googly-eyed at Horo-Horo and Ren. "R-really??"

"Of course! I'm your brother so it's plenty obvious, and-" Horo-Horo was cut off by Pirika hugging him and Ren.

"You guys are so nice!!!!" Pirika squealed.

"Well, yeah." Horo-Horo said sheepishly and patted her back.

"..." Ren said.

"Ah, where did those four go?" Tamao asked, glancing around.

They all let go and looked around. The room that had been so cramped and stuffed earlier was now quite empty.

"That's weird.." Pirika mumbled.

"Hey, Pirika, we're throwing a party in the other room." Anna said, smiling. "Wanna come?"

Pirika grinned. "Hecks YEah!!!" She said, jumping up and running into the hall. But after a few seconds she came back and asked, "What room?"

During the party..

"YAY!! Everyone's alive!!" Pirika cried happily. Hugging everyone nearby.

"A bit thanks to Faust." Manta said.

"Ah! Thank you, Faust-san!!" Pirika said.

"You're welcome" Faust said.

And so, on that day, everyone very happily partied and drank punch, and stuff like that, but something more important happened after the party.

After the Party...

"Lyserg-kun, are you really a girl?" A drunken Pirika asked, happily following him to the patio.

Lyserg smiled nervously, he had wisely decided not to drink after having an evil hangover. "I'm a boy.."

"Oh yeah!! Then why do you eat toothpaste??! Hmm?!!!" Pirika growled, feebly poking him. "Haha.. Poke.. Who made upp the word? Poooooookkkkee.. Haha.. Pokemons.. Poooookkee. POOP!! Hahaha!! POO!! Winnie the Poo!! The bears filled with s$&t!!" Pirika howled with laughter and hugged Lyserg.

"Pirika-san, shouldn't you be sleeping?" Lyserg asked, trying to use another subject.

"Lyyyseeerggg.. Your name sounds like pee-pee.. And I sort of need to taake a pee-pee-" Pirika was cut short by Lyserg, who tried to stop her from pulling down her skirt.

"Gah!! Stop!! DON'T!!" Lyserg cried, grabbing her hands and making it look like she was clapping, which she started doing.

"Wiinir the poop! Winnir the poop!! I love yoooouuu, and you wanna kill mmeeee!! Let's all get togethor and kill Barney!! With a great big bazookaa and a bee-bee gunn- Hahah.. Pee-pee gun.." Pirika laughed, then looked up at Lyserg.

"Heyy.. You're really tall.. When'd ya get so tall??" Pirika asked.

"What? You didn't notice? I've been this tall for a long time!! I've grown almost an inch in the last two months too!! I also-" Lyserg's mouth was covered by Pirika's hand.

"You know? You look like a boyy.. But you talk too much.." She said, taking her hand off and laughing.

"I-I, I'm supposed to look like a boy!! I am a boy!! I'm not a girl!! I really don't-" He was once again cut off by Pirika, but this time, by her mouth.

Lyserg's face flushed the deepest red possible this time, and Pirika wrapped her arms around him. Then she let go.

"Haha.." Pirika said, then collapsed on his lap, asleep.

"I-I-I-I-I-I-I... I, think.. I can't think.." Lyserg mumbled, face still as red as a tomato.

Author's note: BIG Author's note.

It's DONE!! I never thought I'd finish it.. Well, actually, I want to end this story here, but I realized this might be unfair to alot of people.. Maybe.

So now I will take sort of a vote, where, people who want to still read, will vote that, and I'll add a few more chapter. And people who are willing to let me finally end this story will vote that, or people who think I should just plain end it and think it's a waste of time will vote that.. Yeah.

P.S. If no one votes I'm just gonna end this story.. :)
