I'm STILL am stuck on what to write for the next chapter for "The Forgotten Melody"! Damn, after the appearance and the revelation of Reino, he seriously killed my train of thought. I don't hate him, but I wish he would appear more in the manga. He's awesome, in my opinion, despite being a stalker. He has magical powers, just like Kyoko, and he should be loved as well! ;D

Anyway, here's an alternate ending WITHOUT anyone dying. For some reason, all of my fanfics like to have at least someone dying at the end, or they look like they do.

Her whole body was enveloped in the familiar freezing temperature, circling around her like friendly devils playing with her. Her eyes refused to open, as she rolled in space, just floating. Her human body then flew to a popular place. The place where gods drank and laughed, and rested their beings after a long day's of work.

Mt. Olympus.

The highest mountain in Greece, where the gods hid in their palace from the mortals, and lavishly dined with the crackle of the fire in the air. They weren't going to accept anyone to enter their abode, but very few were their favourites. Usually, their favourites had to go with who they were. Like Athena, who liked Odysseus for his wisdom.

But there was one girl, or... creature, that they all loved. Or at least, some did. And she wasn't Greek. She had no specific religion that she belonged in, despite speaking an extraterrestrial language. She, however, was given the image of a young Japanese girl. With the life span of billions of years, she would be considered an immortal, if it weren't the fact that she had an end.

As she descended down, she, with her legs still wrapped in her arms, landed in the arms of Demeter, the goddess of agriculture.

Demeter, who was friends with the kind star, was surprised to see Kyoko at Mt. Olympus again. The last time she saw her, she was eating with Zeus and Hera! Why was she here? A second look, she saw that Kyoko had cracks on her skin, leaking out cracks of light.

Oh... this human body wasn't suppose to last this long, was it? She went to her room, still having the girl in her arms, and wrapped a cloth around her. Satisfied that the girl wouldn't have the gods ogling over her perfect body (whose body was more innocent-looking than Aphrodite), Demeter called out to Zeus.

"Brother! The young lady has dropped in!" She cried out, leaving the sleeping girl alone.

Demeter came back to her room with Iris instead, who was Hera's dear messenger and Zeus's cup-bearer. "I am so sorry, Demeter. Zeus went down to Earth for another..." Iris looked away, blushing. "Really... he just loves sleeping with women other than Hera too much."

"I understand..." Demeter sighed. Sitting on her bed, she glanced quietly at the sleeping child. She always was sleeping, as Iris reported before when Hera was worried about Kyoko. When Kyoko was awake, she would suddenly realize how Ren was getting farther, and farther away from her. He was getting busier, and she could never take it in. That's why she loved her nights with him, as it showed he would never leave her alone forever.

But she left him instead...

With more cracks rifting her body, her whole body was becoming less and less the human she was.

"Can't Hephaesus fix her? There must be some clay somewhere... He made her before; he should be able to fix her!" Demeter cried out.

Iris shook her head. "No can do. Hephaestus would never do it. He's still being scolded by Aphrodite for liking Kyoko. Can you believe it? She doesn't even like him, yet she tries to control him when he wants to love someone else."

"Yeah, but Kyoko loves Ren, doesn't she? Or is it Kuon? I can never tell what to call him, with his two names."

Iris laughed. Placing a hand on Demeter's elbow softly, she murmured, "I don't know why, but Kyoko sure has made a right selection. That man is just yum!" Iris licked her lips seductively.

Both gossiping, they soon stood up straight as Zeus arrived. He was, with his sweat clinging to his hair, angry at the refusal of a human. Really! He just wanted to bed her; was that hard to ask?

"Kyoko is here?" He saw her, and blinked at the odd sight. "I would have thought she would have lasted longer. Oh well..." He came up, motioning a circle over her. The magical circle was compressed onto her body, as she broke into pieces. Only her light was still alive. "We can't use this body anymore. Maybe, just maybe, we should give her a real body."

"A real body? You do realize she won't have her original powers again!" Demeter cried out. "She wouldn't be able to come to Mt. Olympus, or play with my little Persephone!" she complained childishly.

"I understand that, but what does she want? To stay with that man, of course." He smiled as the levitating orb circled him, and rubbed his cheek. "Ah... you want to come back to him, don't you?" The orb brighten some more, and he laughed. "He showed you life in your dull existence. And you gave him a reason for forgiveness to his sin. Very well."

He lifted his arm, and boomed loudly, "HEPHAESTUS! I HAVE ANOTHER TASK FOR YOU!"

With a cup of coffee in his hand, he glanced outside through his window. The stars weren't out, and there wasn't a single light show happening.

Today, it was Ren's twentieth birthday. With a single mango cake piece, he lighted the twirled candle. It lit up in a glorious colour of blue and white.

Closing his eyes, he wished what he always wished for: For Kyoko to come back to him.

After the light blow, sending the flames to die out, he opened his eyes. He wasn't expecting her to just appear out of thin air. But it was nice to ask for his wishes to be granted, wasn't it?

Zeus, although I'm not a big fan of you, would it be too much to ask my Kyoko back to me?

Walking slowly, Ren looked up at the pointing fingers. They were all going to their set, which was outside. If you can shoot a scene outside, you might as well do it if it doesn't need a green screen or CG. But what stopped them abruptly was when the crew saw a girl that was in their way.

A single girl...

The girl hopped. She giggled as the butterfly tickled her, and she twirled in the field, sending her hair to become her cape. She danced with the winged fairies, and let some land on her fingers. Her hair was long—it came all the way to her knees—and it was sleek. It was smoothed in a way you would think she just had to have some celebrity looks lying beneath her.

And she did. She was beautiful, and when she swirled over and met Ren's eyes, he saw... golden eyes.

Was that... "Kyoko? Is that you?" Ren asked.

This surprised everyone. They were all too occupied in seeing the wonderful girl, wondering if she was a goddess that was sent down to Earth. Well, they got most of it right. She was once a star that was sent down to Earth to save Kuon, who was now currently Ren. She then, after the help of Hephaestus, earned a complete human body.

She could bleed; she could feel pain. She couldn't float; she couldn't explode and make her surrounding shimmer. But one thing was for sure that she could do without a doubt. She could stay with her beloved.

Smiling, she grinned. "Hi, my love."

She couldn't have been more than fourteen years old (close enough; she's sixteen now)! Everyone, including the guys, had their eyes widened as they saw Ren running up to her, hugging her tightly.

She was caught off guard, and tumbled down onto the grass. Dandelion puffs bounced and flew gracefully into the air, along with the laughing butterflies. They giggled, along with the pixies and fairies that dodged Ren's crush, and smiled, They began to sprinkle pink light all over the two, forming a heart in the humans' eyes.

Were they imagining it? Was there a heart that suddenly appeared? Or was it because they suddenly knew what was going to happen next?

Still having her in his arms, he hid his face from his co-stars, the filming crew, and the director as he ducked under the covers of the thick grass. As he bent lower, claiming Kyoko's lips, he felt the world disappear. He had his world back to him.

And he had to admit, Zeus was a fast granter. He only asked for her to come back yesterday.

After coming back for air, the two gazed at each other's eyes.

"You won't leave me again?" he asked.

"Of course not," she replied. "Never again."

Rick watched as the couple were reunited together. Laughing, he wanted to wish Kuon the best, even with all the struggles that might happen to the two. Was she any different than she was before?

"If she never stopped Kuon, I wonder what would have happened, had they not have met." Rick smiled some more. "Kuon's life didn't had to end just because mine did. And Kyoko now doesn't think of how her death will be near. The two meeting each other..."

Rick grinned widely. As he saw the two rubbing their foreheads against each other, a simple gesture of love. He laughed. With his arms folded, he sighed.

Tina found someone else. Kuon found someone to love.

Everything he couldn't do when he was alive was complete.

Watching his best friend one last time, he looked up into the blue sky. "I guess I won't be drinking with Hades anymore."

And... he vanished.

Athena- Goddess of Wisdom.

Demeter- Goddess of Agriculture, mother of Persephone, and is the sister of Zeus. Despite being siblings, Zeus had his sister as his consort, and this was WAY before he married Hera, who was another sister of his.

Iris- Goddess of the Rainbows, daughter of Thaumas and Electra. Thaumas was an ocean god, and Electra was a cloud nymph. To the Greeks, a rainbow started from the clouds and ended in the ocean. It was thought that Iris would send a message from Hera, and delivered a rainbow at the same time. When she was done, the rainbow would disappear.

Hephaestus- God of Forgery. He made women. It is often mistaken that the term "man" means women and men. No, Epimetheus actually just made males. His brother, Prometheus, angered Zeus when he stole fire, so he sent Pandora, Hephaestus's creation, down to Earth. She was the first woman. He is also Aphrodite's husband, but Aphrodite doesn't love him.

I LIKE THIS ENDING MUCH BETTER THAN THE OTHER! Don't you guys? XD
