Yo, so I understand that some (most) of you people think the last chapter was 'garbage'. But don't blame me! I had a BRAIN FART!

My signature words : Even if you HATE it RATE it.

Is really regretful. I mean now I'd rater write : If you have nothing nice to say then don't.

I'm a really emotional person. So yeah if you don't like it don't bother telling me it sucks or you've lost interest.

Silence is much better.

Cause it'll just make me feel like crap and I'll just spend my entire day like a zombie.

Ok, I just wanted to clear that up.

I really don't mind you criticizing my spelling errors but don't tell me about "attacking the space bar" or "there is no capital letter in this and that".

This is the way I write.

Like it or not … this is how I roll.

Thank you!

3 months

Ryoma Echizen spent 3 months of his summer vacation, praying.

No playing tennis.

No going to the beach or another country.

He just spend his summer praying.

He was like a zombie.

Wake up, eat, shower, pray, eat, pray again, eat, shower, pray some more, sleep.

He just felt guilty.

His cocky, arrogant self was gone and replaced by a praying zombie.

It was convenient his father was a monk and he followed him to the temple everyday just to pray about 10 hours for the whole summer.

He wanted Ryuzaki to wake up. He really did. The guilt. The feeling that he almost killed someone, resting on his shoulders.

"I'm really worried about Ryoma" said Rinko to her eldest son, Ryoga.

"I know, Chibisuke, has been praying a lot since the accident. It's kinda freaking me out. I never knew he could be this guilty" replied Ryoga to his mother.

"Minna-San, I'm going to the temple" announced zombie Ryoma, heading towards the door.

"Erm … Ryoma, could you spare a few minutes?" asked Rinko, squeezing a fake smile as her brows knitted while patting a pillow next to her.

"I guess" Ryoma hesitated but finally sat down next to his mother.

"Ryoma dear" Rinko spoke as gentle as she can. "I understand that you really want Sakuno-Chan to wake up from her coma and I'm not un-estimating the Kamis' powers but …" Rinko slowly trailed off.

"But?" Ryoma questioned, his head tilted a bit to the side.

Rinko let out a sigh and tucked a brown lock behind her ear.

"But, you need to take it easy, Ryoma. You've prayed hard enough. You should spend the rest of your summer relaxing. When was the last time you picked up your racket and played a good game of tennis? The Kamis' have been listening to your prayers the entire summer" added Rinko.

"Okaa-San" responded back Ryoma. "If it's true the Kamis' has been listening to my prayers than why hasn't Ryuzaki woken up? The only wish I've asked them is to wake up Ryuzaki. How long do I have to wait?"

"Just be patient, Ryoma" told Rinko.

"I haven't prayed hard enough. My wish still isn't granted yet. I still have to pray, Okaa-San" Ryoma explained, getting up.

But then Ryoga grabbed Ryoma's arm and pulled him down, making him sit down again.

"Hey! What are you-" Ryoma shouted but his sentence was cut.

"Chibisuke" Ryoga's voice boomed placing his hands on Ryoma's shoulders. "How long are you going to pray? How long are you going to wait? What if Ryuzaki-Chan stays in her coma for 30 years? Can't you see? This is useless! You, devoting your time to pray on and off and on and off! You've pray enough! You can't put your full hope to Kami! Stop praying already!"

"What are you saying?" asked Ryoma.

"I'm saying your methods are useless" told Ryoga.

"Are you saying Kami doesn't exist? Are you saying I'm putting all my faith into something that doesn't even exist? What? Ryuzaki's never waking up?" Ryoma shouted.

"Well, that's how I see it" Ryoga answer truthfully.

"RYOGA!" Rinko yelled while slamming her palms on the coffee table, creating a 'tunk' sound. "Stop filling your brother's head with negativity!"

"No, it's ok, Okaa-San. I actually knew this from the start. She won't wake up. She'll never wake up" Ryoma answered.

"Ryoma … It's ok. Your brother was just rambling. Sakuno-Chan will wake up, sooner … or later" Rinko told.

"Or never" whispered Ryoga.

"Ryoga! Don't mind his rambling. He just had a bad date with Yuka that day. I know Sakuno-Chan will wake up" Rinko quickly covered up.

"How do you know?" asked Ryoma, his voice sounding dry.

"She just knows" said Nanjiro, traveling down the flight of stairs.

"How does she know? HOW DO ANY OF YOU KNOW ANYTHING?" Ryoma suddenly began screaming. "HOW DO YOU KNOW THERE ISN'T AN ORANGE SMURF LIVING IN A POLKA DOTTED TEA POT FLOATING OUT SOMEWHERE IN SPACE JUST PASS PLANET X? HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THE SMURF LIKES READING LOVE NOVELS AND HE CAN SHOOT LIGHTNING OUT OF HIS BUTT WHEN HE FARTS? YOU DON'T KNOW THESE THINGS CAUSE YOU'RE NOT A FAITH READER! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GOD!"

It was official, Ryoma Echizen had gone mad.

May as well ship him of to Wonderland to have Tea Parties with the Mad Hatter and the March Hare.

Among his Perverted Father, Demanding Mother, FaceBook Addicted Brother and Amazingly still Hyper but Old Cat, he was the most logical … well that is until now.

I mean, Orange Smurfs?

Smurfs were blue not orange. And I'm pretty sure they'll stay that way for the next millionth year.

And Pink Polka Dotted Tea Pots?

This is the 21st century. I'm sure that wouldn't even be made anymore.

Not to mention Love Novels and Farts!

Not a good combo.

"HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW THESE THINGS? HOW DO YOU KNOW IF ANY OF THESE THINGS ARE TRUE! HOW DO YOU-" Ryoma's screams were silent when a sound echoed through the room.

'SLAP!' it echoed.

"SHOUNEN!" his father barked. "Take those words back right now! All those questions you ask are impossible to answer! No one knows except God! He is real! Real as you and me! Now apologize to your mother and brother! I will not have you cursing and screaming in my house!"

"NO! I WILL NOT TAKE THOSE WORDS BACK! I will not believe any of you! And there is no such thing as God! I've spent the entire summer praying, just hoping my belief of God would come true but you know what? I was wrong! He does not exist! I've even prayed 10 hours straight, but you know what? She's still not awake! So if I can't even believe in God then how can I believe you!" Ryoma shot. "I mean, he's not REAL! I won 't believe he's real until that phone rings and tells me Ryuzaki is awake"

And right on cue, the phone rang.

First, everyone stayed frozen but the Rinko went and picked up the phone.

Her eyes widen as she heard what the person on the other line said.

"She's awake! Sakuno-Chan's awake!" Rinko cried.

"HOLY CRAP!" all the male Echizens' shouted in union.
