Continuing!

No more Savien. Although I'm interested in knowing wether you liked him or not.

I was gone for a couple of days for 4th of July, so this is a longer update.

ARGH! I CAME BACK FROM VACATION WITH THE INTENTION OF GETTING TO THE END OF THE PANDORA HEARTS MANGA AND YEN-PRESS TOOK IT OFF THE INTERNET! .A.

Now I have to buy the books. T.T

Well, at least I support the author!

Also, because of that I don't know anything past the anime/chapter 3 so sorry if some things don't match up with the manga. I will finish the series so I can give this story a fitting ending.

Hope my characters aren't being too OOC-ish. I try my best not to make them that way.

Now, since there's nothing else... On to the story.

Chapter 9

Long after Savien sank into the ground, Oz stopped screaming. He collapsed on the ground where Savien was, unmoving. Many people were attracted to the scene by the purple light and screams, but the crowd had dwindled down to a curious passerby here and there. The police had come and gone, shooed away by Gilbert's pandora licence, and Oz just sat in the same place.

After an hour or so, it got dark. Oz still wouldn't budge. Gilbert went over to him. Oz's eyes were glazed over and staring into the distance.

"Oz, we have to go." Gilbert's words bounced right off of him. After a couple of pleas for the boy to move, Gilbert gave up. He took Oz in his arms and carried him to the carriage Break had sent for them.

Neither Sharon nor Break knew what to expect upon the groups arrival back. Sharon was still set on thinking that it was a bad idea, but hoped she wasn't right. Break was sure everything would go according to one of the scenarios he predicted for the missions,.Wether if it was good or bad, he did not know.

"They should have arrived by now." Sharon mumbled worriedly. She and break were having tea on the balcony, since they didn't have anything else to do but await the groups return.

" I sent a carriage for them a while ago, they should be arriving soon." Break said assuredly, with not a hint of worry in his voice.

After a couple of minutes of tea and snacking, they saw a carriage drive up the forested road to the building.

"Break, is that them?" Sharon asked.

"No, its someone I invited. Oz might need her when he gets back."

Oz was leaning against the window of the carriage. Earlier he was shaking and crying, but he had fallen asleep. Gil and Alice watched him incase he started again

When they arrived in front of the mansion, Gilbert lifted the sleeping Oz out of the carriage and carried him in. Alice followed.

"Now what?" She asked.

Gilbert was being as serious as he could. "We report back."

"Big brother... Is back?" the blonde girl who sat in the tea room nearly dropped her cup. She was dressed in a uniform.

"Yes. He may need you. But not at the moment. Right now, we wait."

The girl couldn't believe it. Even though her memories of him were faint, she had missed him so much in the last 10 years.

I wonder what he looks like now? Does he look any different? Will he remember me? Am I taller than him? Will he like me anymore? Too many thoughts ran through her head. She set her cup down, afraid she would drop it.

The sound of a carriage pulled into the front of the mansion.

"Ah, that must be them now." Break announced. Without thinking, the blonde hopped out of her chair, and ran out of the room.

"Ada!" Sharon yelled after the blonde. But Break stopped her.

"Let's leave her and see what happens." Break got up, and he and Sharon walked after Ada.

Gilbert walked in carrying the sleeping Oz. The scratches on his back staining his gloves with blood. As he got to the door it flew open almost knocking him over. On the other side of the door was a long-haired blonde girl who resembled Oz.

"Ada?" Gilbert asked suprised.

"I-is that my brother?" Ada asked, looking down at the boy in Gilbert's arms.

Gilbert nodded. Ada noticed the cuts on his back.

"Oh! He's Injured!" Ada yelped. She grabbed Gilbert by the arm of his jacket and yanked him in. "We must tend to Big brothers wounds immediately!" She slammed the door behind her leaving a confused and bitter Alice outside.

Ada dragged Gilbert into the house. They ran a ways up the stairs when Ada stopped.

"Ada, what is it?" Gilbert asked. Ada's face was serious, as if she was sensing something. It was a moment or two before she turned around and spoke.

"I don't..." she continued. The serious expression on her face.

"I don't know where his room is."

The serious atmosphere was killed.

Gilbert carried Oz and led Ada to Oz room. Ada attempted small talk on the way, but Gilbert was more focused on Oz. He wasn't physically hurt that badly, but he was probably mentally scarred for life. Gilbert set Oz down on the bed and got the medical kit. Ada had simmered down and sat next to him on a pulled up chair.

"Ah, Gil... Do you mind if I do it?" Ada asked. "It's just that I need to practice for medical emergency class." Gilbert nodded and handed the medical box to her.

He got up to leave and give Ada time with her brother when she gasped. Gilbert turned around.

"Big brother has a tattoo?"

Damn, I forgot she wasn't supposed to know about that...

"...Y-yeah..he does." Gilbert guessed he'd go with her Idea on it. Rather than telling her that her brother could die from it.

"Strange tattoo. I wonder why it's at 8'o clock."

Gilbert froze.

"What?"

"Huh? Oh, its set at 8'o'clock."

Gilbert couldn't believe it. That was impossible. It was only at 2 last time he checked. He went over to the sleeping boy. Sure enough, the clock on his chest was at 8. Gilbert was angry with himself, but he didn't want to show that in front of Ada. He cursed in his head and went to leave as Ada amaturely tended to Oz minor wounds.

"Break!" Gilbert shouted as he entered the tea room. Break and Sharon were

"Ah, Gilbert. Is there a problem?" Break asked innocently, snacking on a seemingly endless set of cake.

"Oz contracting clock." Gilbert stated, taking a seat across the table from Break.

"Yes. And?" The clown asked a bit teasingly.

"Its at 8'o'clock."

This surprised Break. His usually all knowing expression faded into one of confusion.

"That's not possible..." Break trailed on. "There's no way that in such a short time..."

"There must be because it happened." Gilbert stated, obviously worried. "And I want to know what it was."

Break sounded agitated. "There ISN"T anything that could do that other than the abyss. And in order for that The Will would have to alter it itself."

"How would she do that?"

"Through the chain."

*takes pandora hearts storyline and stabs.*

Again, due to yen-press , I probably will do a lot of things unstorylinish.

I thought for 3 MONTHS it ended with the anime. My friend introduced me to the next vol.

DARN IT! If only I knew a month earlier! T.T

*goes out to buy book*

Well, it's a fanfic, so I guess the storyline boundaries are weaker.

And I would appreciate if no one tried to "sum it up" for me. It would spoil it.

I would like your input though.
