A/N: Guess what it's Ghanith. Like OMG yall. Anyway someone requested Ghanith and I realised that I hadn't mentioned it too much. So here is a chapter dedicated to Ghanith and yes for everyone's information if I did own Skulduggery (but I don't) Ghanith would've happened already... though it has... but I would anyway... yeah... awkies...

Chapter 24 Kiss (Ghanith Style)

Tanith wasn't exactly your ordinary girl.

She was tough. She was a mean, lean, fighting, machine. And just one look at the muscled arms and deadly blade in hand you could tell she could kick ass.

But no matter how much she own, she was still a girl.

A girl.

With dreams.

The occasional fantasies...

... well the pretty common fantasies...

...excluding the ones about Ghastly and Skulduggery that she had written and put on live journal (which she had been approached about making it into a book)...

But she could wonder, want and wish just like any other girl could.

She thought about boys.

Men.

Ghastly.

And she was always curious, on what it would be like to kiss the scars on his face.

Of course he hadn't let her. Ghastly was too self conscious about it for his own good.

But there he was, asleep in a chair, in front of her and looking so damn venerable.

I could kiss them she told herself and he'd never realise.

She crept forward, her footsteps made no sound these days.

She leaned down put her hands on the arm rests for support and counted down the length.

Five centimetres.

Four centimetres.

Three centimetres.

Two.

One.

Zero.

Her lips brushed the uneven surface, her faced flushed with heat.

And it was absolutely silent.

No cheer of a crowd.

No audiences with tears of happiness.

No fireworks to spell LOVE in the air.

But something inside of her moved heavy and slow, her heart fluttered above all her worries and she wanted to fly.

It would be another ten years until Ghastly and Tanith would marry.

But when she looked back at that moment, she realised that it was then that she had known she and Ghastly would always be together.

A/N: Wow. This is corny. Like super corny. Review if you like corny.

I have some slightly sad news but I'm planning to finish Crack at chapter 30. I have 25, 26 already written down and the last few chapters planned out, 29 and 30 will be a two part story.

A good story needs a good ending or they just end up like mangas that never end (

coughBleachcough)

Don't be sad, there are still five more stories to go.
