Hello there my fellow readers! I have decided that because of the success of my previous chapters and the lovely reviews I got, I am going to write this next chapter! Here is one of the stars of this story…Shun!

Shun: Um….hi

Me: So shun, how does it feel to die in my story?

Shun: Depressing, I don't like making Alice cry. (ShunxAlice! ^_^)

Me: You know it's only acting right??

Shun: HN…whatever

"I...I have to…" was the answer.

Dan looked around the wrecked dining room. Was it possible? Had he heard the right thing?

"Don't."

He looked around again and this time, noticed something else.

"Please….don't…do…it."

"I…I…"

End Previously

Dan just stared. It had to be a dream…it just had to be.

Runo. Eyes open. Breathing.

Dan rushed towards his injured girlfriend. Holding her like she was the only thing he loved. Marucho darted to the couple and his eyes literally popped out of his head.

"B-But that's impossible. She wasn't breathing!" He declared. No one paid attention. By this time Alice, Dan, Marucho, and Julie (who had been found by Alice earlier) had gathered around their blue-headed friend.

"Runo…you're…alive!" Dan cried. Runo was alive, but just barely. It was obvious she needed serious medical attention, which they didn't have right then and there.

"D-Dan…" Runo's voice was just barely below a whisper. She was too weak to do anything.

"No, no. Don't say anything. Save your strength." Dan explained. He was relieved, shocked, and somewhat upset at the same time. He was relieved that Runo was alive, but at the same time, he wished she wasn't.

Dan knew she was in critical condition. If Runo didn't get medical help soon, she would have to die in Dan's very arms.

The boat rocked as the brawlers sat in a somewhat mournful silence as they knew fate would come. Marucho's friend, Lily, had been gone for sometime now. Alice held Shun's head in her lap, humming softly, almost as if he were just sleeping. Dan held Runo in his arms, her eyes were just barely open and she refused to let them close for more than half a second. Julie had left earlier to search for Billy. Turns out he had been dead, too. All was quiet until…

"Is anyone up there!?!" a voice called

It was the rescue team.

Everyone's head snapped up immediately. Marucho began calling for them, letting them know they were in need of help. Half an hour later, the brawlers, breathing or not, were inside of a rescue helicopter that was just about to take off. Runo and Shun had been taken into separate medical emergency helicopters and were being treated immediately.

At last, everyone could say, it is going to be okay.

And that is it! A little short I know, but I think it is a pretty good way to end a story. But it is not completely over yet! I am planning an epilogue that will probably be up soon, you guys just have to keep reminding me! Review the ending telling me if you liked it, hated it, or want me to redo it…stuff like that. This is not the beta'd version. I plan on putting it up as soon as I get it back. Just keep checking up on it to see if this chapter has changed.

Toodles!!
