"Kagami are you feeling okay? You woke up in tears this morning…" Konata asked worry evident in her voice as she tugged on the bigger girl's sleeve, much like a small child would do to their big sister or mother.

Kagami just couldn't bring herself to tell Konata about the news she received yesterday, nor the fact that she had been having nightmares about it. Yes Konata had a very strong will and was cheerful most every time you saw her, but she was fragile on the inside and Kagami was determined to keep her safe no matter the cost, even if that meant lying to the one she loved.

"It's nothing Kona, something just got in my eye this morning is all." The older twin said with a warm and caring smile as she gently rubbed her loves head, before pulling her into a loving hug.

"Alright if you say so Kagami, but I am still worried about you…" Konata said softly, her voice being muffled due to her face being pressed into the bigger girl's chest as she returned the hug.

"I'm okay really, so don't worry about me so much." Kagami said with a smile as she walked to the other side of the bedroom to collect her school things. "I have to make sure nothing happens to her, Kirie said to keep her in high spirits or something could happen…" Kagami thought her anger rising, only to be cooled by a sudden chill going down her back; she just knew he was near…

"Maybe you should stay home and rest for today?" Konata said softly pulling Kagami away from her thought, Kagami could hear the distress in her little otaku's voice and she absolutely hated it. "I could even stay here to nurse you!" Konata said as she cutely threw her hands in the air for dramatic effect.

Kagami couldn't help but smile once she saw Konata acting like always, so full of energy and excitement. "No we are going to school and you are going to learn little miss." Kagami said playfully as she bopped Konata's nose with her index finger. Kagami could feel the tension steadily rising, but for the sake of her blunette she put on a smile as the group left for their classes.

"Okay chibi is being distracted by little sis and the demon, now what is so important that she can't hear?" Misao asked with a fanged grin as she walked with her hands behind her head, the group slowed down so that Konata would be out of earshot.

"Kenji called you yesterday when you and Ayano were out getting groceries." Kagami said with a questioning look, obviously wanting to know how Misao knew a guy named Kenji.

"He is a guy from the track team, he took over the position of captain since I turned it down, what was he calling for?" Misao asked as she waved her arms up and down to convene that she had nothing going on with him, not really for Kagami, but more for Ayano.

"It's okay Misa calm down and let Kagami finish." Ayano said with a giggle as she put her hand on Misao's right cheek and began scratching; causing the fanged girl to calm down immediately and begin to purr or that is what it sounded like.

"Teach me that will you." Kagami asked Ayano through her eyes as she watched how easily Misao was stilled.

"Sure, but for now please continue." Ayano replied with a smile, she finally let Misao go who by now was a nice shade of crimson.

"Oh right, well Kenji said that he was attacked so that his attacker could get information… Misao your brother is out of prison and is coming to kill you and Konata…" Kagami said with a tone and look in her eyes that killed any thought in the others minds that this all might be a joke.

"This is indeed a serious problem." Miyuki said with nervousness not often found in her voice, she could remember that day when they fought him the first time very fluently in her mind's eye.

"That bastered I'll kill him!" Misao said angrily although she felt like throwing up right there on the spot.

"I called in a favor from some friends of mine; I just hope they can get here before he does." Kagami said slowly as she looked at her friends faces, seeing what she feared the most… A lack of fight, they were all scared of what fate could befall them and who could blame them? She just hoped everything would work out.

Come on you slow pokes, you are going to make us late for class!" Konata shouted happily as she jumped up and down waving her arms, while Akira and Tsukasa just laughed at her antics.

"Hey we're coming so don't get your panties in a twist!" Misao shouted with a forced smile despite the anger and fear she was feeling as she sprinted towards the three small girls'.

I take it you don't want Konata-san to know, but what about Tsu-chan and Akira-chi?" Miyuki asked as the three left began to walk as well.

"Yes they can know would you mind telling them for me Miyuki?" Kagami asked as she turned to look at her busty friend, only receiving a nod as her answer. "I have called the Kohai and told them about the situation, but I didn't call the parents…" Kagami said as she closed her eyes another sigh escaping her lips. "The last thing we need is Sojiro getting here and getting hurt." Kagami thought with a groan, not noticing the presence sneaking up behind her.

"Kagamin~ is getting slow, are you putting on some weight~?" Konata teased in a childish tone as she poked the tsundere's middle. Kagami wasn't sure where the little girl had popped up from, but that didn't stop her from taking the correct disciplinary actions.

"Oh I'm slow huh? I'll get you and make you regret saying that!" Kagami shouted with the first genuine laugh she had had all morning, as she began to chase down the sparky little blunette causing the others to join in their laughter.

"It's been a long time since we have all been together in one place like this!" Konata said with a happy little grin as looked a crossed the table at all her friends. She was sitting in between Kagami and Akira, with Akira on the end. Tsukasa was sitting a crossed from Konata with Miyuki and Mikeru on both of her sides, with Miyuki on the end. Sanjo was sitting beside Mikeru and Ayano was sitting next to Kagami, with Misao having to pull up a chair and sit a little detached from the rest.

"Yes it has been a while hasn't it?" Sanjo said with a grin trying his best to lighten the mood, although you could feel that the tension in the air was thick. Everyone at the table knew of the impending doom, so they decided to wait until most of the people left the school before they did, just incase he was waiting to ambush them.

"Why does everyone look so down today? I know not everybody got a bad night's sleep!" Konata said as she slammed her little fist on the table causing a few of its occupants to jump slightly. "See what is the matter with you all, what happened that you won't tell me?" Konata asked, one could easily tell she was distraught by the tone of voice she was using.

"There is nothing wrong Kona-chan; you are just over reacting is all." Tsukasa said kindly trying to calm down the upset otaku, but was having little success. They knew Konata would take the news hard so the best thing they could do was hide it from her.

"I demand to know what has gotten all of my friends so upset!" Konata yelled as she stood up, tears starting to well up in her eyes. It hurt them to do this to her, they knew how caring and thoughtful that little blunette could be and hiding things from her hurt them as much as it hurt her.

Konata stood there looking at them, hoping at least one of them would come clean and tell her what was wrong… "Fine if no one wants to tell me, why should I care… I'm going home." Konata said sadly as she began to sprint towards the exit.

The rest of the group quickly threw their chairs aside and followed her, the worst thing they could do would be to leave her alone. It didn't take long for them to catch up to her, since she wasn't running at full speed and when they did Kagami caught her love into a hug.

"Trust me; you have nothing to worry about." Kagami said softly as she rested her chin on the top of Konata's head.

"You promise?" Konata asked sniffling a little as she reached up and held her tsundere's hands.

"Yeah I promise…" Kagami said with a tiny sigh, but their happy little moment was over in the blink of an eye once they heard a voice they had hoped to never hear again.

"That's a pretty big promise Kagami-chan, can you keep it…?" Kurono hissed at them evilly as he stood there cracking his knuckles, he was wearing faded and ripped black jeans with a black hoodie, hood currently covering his face.

Once Konata saw him, all those feeling of hate, anger, fear, humiliation… All those feeling her and Kirie had been working on healing all came flooding back… And it became too much for her mental state…

"No Konata hang in there, remember what sensei said!" Kagami yelled as she felt the smaller girl in her grasp go limp.

"Kagami remember she has a lot of emotional hurt inside her, the only way to bring her back is to show her the object of that hurt, can't hurt her anymore." Kirie-sensei's voice echoed in Kagami's head, but all she could do right now was hope and pray that he didn't get over here, because if he did…

"You bastered don't you dare come any closer!" Misao yelled as harshly as she could, but there was an obvious quiver in her voice.

"And who is going to stop me? It obviously won't be you…" The murderous male asked with a light chuckle, taking a step forward daring his sister to challenge him.

"I will you worthless piece of crap!" Mikeru yelled as he ran at Kurono, Mikeru dodged the first punch with success and landed a punch of his own, right to the jaw of Kurono.

"Miku-kun please don't!" Tsukasa yelled as tears started to stream down her face, she knew how ruthless Kurono could be and he looked even worse now.

"Damn you didn't even flinch?" Mikeru said angrily as he took a few steps back from the creepy guy, Kurono just stood there large grin plastered to his face and slightly licking his lips.

I have gone through killer training since that day… And I have so many different kinds of steroids pumping through my veins you wouldn't believe it!" The crazed male yelled as he charged the younger guy…

Mikeru did a good job of dodging and blocking at first, but it didn't seem to last. Kurono swung his fist in a right hook aiming for Mikeru's face, but the younger ducked down to dodge and then quickly rolled out of the way of a kick. Kurono turned to deliver another punch, but was hit himself by the brunette this only slowed him down though as he continued his assault.

Time after time Mikeru ducked and dodged swing after swing, he found that Kurono didn't have any tact to his fighting and was simply trying to hit him with a powerful move, so as long as he could dodge he would be fine.

There was a small problem though, no matter how many times Mikeru would dodge and get a strike in of his own it didn't seem to faze his opponent in the least. Mikeru ducked another punch and dodge rolled to the side again, but Kurono was learning and intercepted his roll with a swift and powerful kick.

Due to the unplanned kick, Mikeru fell on his neck at an awkward angle sending waves of pain through his body. Kurono wasn't done yet and took this opportunity to drive a knee straight into the brunette's unguarded chest. Mikeru felt all the wind in his lungs being expelled all at once, which was not a pleasant feeling.

"You make me laugh at how weak you are…" Kurono hissed as he reached down and picked the boy up by the caller of his shirt and against the wishes of Tsukasa, who was franticly yelling at him to stop… He grabbed the back of Mikeru's head and brought it down upon his knee with as much force as he could.

Mikeru, only semi-conscious now could only feel pain. He was still trying to get back the air that he had lost from the earlier blow and now he felt his head start to go numb, probably due to the amount of blood he was losing from his forehead.

Kurono was far from done, he had one thing on his mind and that was to make those he hated suffer. Once again he drove his knee into the chest of the younger guy causing him to cough up some blood, then driving his other knee into the boy's face. It was easy to see that Mikeru was out cold, the only way they could tell he was still alive was the occasional couch he did.

Tsukasa was in tears, none of them were very violent and none were able to stand up against this heartless beast. If this went on she just knew that Mikeru…

"That's enough you worthless…" Sanjo yelled as he ran forward, succeeding in taking Kurono's attention away from the injured male.

"Sanjo are you insane? He'll kill you!" Misao yelled as she reached out in hopes this simple movement would stop him. Even after all her talk earlier that morning, she couldn't bring herself to attack her brother he scared her that much. As Misao looked over the group she saw how little of a chance they had…

Konata was gone; she was just an empty husk now. Kagami and Ayano were trying to bring her back, so that she wasn't such an easy target. Tsukasa was on her knees crying while Miyuki tried to comfort her. Akira was just too small and she was paralyzed by fear… Mikeru was lying on the ground probably dyeing and Sanjo was sure to share his fate…

"Where are they?" Kagami mumbled as she tried once again to wake Konata up from her isolated slumber.

"I have to; he would have killed Mikeru otherwise… And Mikeru has a girl he is trying to impress, I don't have anyone…" Sanjo said with a tone that sent a shiver down Misao's spine. One that said 'I have nothing to live for'.

Sanjo decided the best way to end it would be to end it quick. Sanjo went in right under his cover and delivered a series of blows to the other male's chest, but even this did little to slow the deranged maniac down. Being so close to his attacker proved fatal for Sanjo when Kurono swiftly kneed him in the gut, taking away his ability to breathe for the moment.

Kurono grabbed the black haired male by his shoulders and repetitively kneed him in the stomach. Sanjo started to cough and gasp due to the loss of air thanks to the repetitive kicks. Sanjo delivered a kick of his own, but this only help to separate the two giving him a small amount of time to regain his breathe.

However, Kurono didn't waste time in getting back in for the close combat, as he went and punched Sanjo right in the middle of his back, causing him to groan in pain. Sanjo went and hit him with a low blow, but even this didn't do more than make Kurono even angrier.

Kurono grabbed the black haired male by the neck and pulled him into a standing position, but before Sanjo had a change to do anything Kurono took his fingers and scraped them over the younger male's eyes. Luckily for Sanjo he got his eyes closed in time to not go blind from the attack, but Kurono succeeded in cutting his eyelids open making them bleed profusely.

With a scream of pure agony Sanjo reached up to hold his eye in hopes to dull the pain and bleeding. Kurono just stood laughing at the boy before kicking high with his steel toed boot, hitting Sanjo right in the temple sending him skidding a crossed the ground.

Kurono just stood there laughing at the two boys he had succeeded in destroying. Mikeru was still lying unconscious coughing every now and then, while Sanjo lay there half screaming in pain as he held his eyes. Misao being the only one to watch the whole thing go down stood there in absolute terror, because she knew they were next… And her brother wouldn't show mercy.

While Kurono was laughing he didn't notice the presence creeping up behind him. Akira quickly locked her arms around the larger male's waist and succeeded in pulling him into a German suplex, after slamming the male to the ground Akira took this time to make a gap between her and him.

"Akira what on earth are you trying to pull!" Misao shouted with genuine fear as she started to cry for a reason unknown to her.

"You don't like me anyway what do you care?" Akira shouted cheekily as she dodged another attack from Kurono. The creepy smile on his face was gone, he was now furious to have been attacked by a tiny girl and he was ready to rip her apart and eat what was left…

"Akira just stop this, you won't survive!" Misao shouted, but was still frozen in place thanks to her fear of her big brother. She could only watch the tiny girl jump around dodging her crazed brother's attacks.

"Look all we need is for me to buy some time; I won't let anything happen to Konata-nee…" Akira said with venom now dripping from her voice.

Kurono went in for a lunge only to have the small girl jump away again, but she didn't stay away for long. Akira jumped towards the bigger male and succeeded in getting under his guard; she delivered a series of blows to his torso and unlike Sanjo was able to get out unharmed.

Kurono was getting more wroth by the second, how could this little girl be beating him? He didn't know, but he wanted it to change and with a luck shot he managed to punch her in the face, sending her back a few steps.

"WHY YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Akira yelled as she rubbed her cheek right before springing towards and clinging onto the larger male. Akira had her legs around his neck, squeezing as hard as she could while punching him in the face over and over again. "I HATE YOU, YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!" Akira shouted angrily as she bit his forehead before going back to punching.

Misao made a mental note to never push Akira too far in their arguments if they ever got out of this. Misao was starting to regain hope when she saw how skilled Akira was in um, well… Beating the hell out of people… But all that changed rather quickly, once Kurono got the small girl displaced from his person.

"Damn I guess I need more for you…" Kurono hissed as he pulled out four syringes from his hoodie pocket and proceeded to inject them all into his arm. "You did well to get this far, but it's all over for you now…" Kurono hissed as he motioned for her to try attacking him again.

Akira who was starting to feel fatigue set in watched as the newly administered drugs brought the murderous boy back to full strength. Akira went in for another attack, but just like before Kurono was learning…

Kurono grabbed the small girl by the hair and slammed her face into his knee, and then he delivered a punch to her face when her head bounced off his knee cap. Akira now bleeding from the nose collapsed to the ground, her body ached all over and she hoped he would just leave her be, but she had no such luck.

He picked up her small frame and lifted her over his head before bringing her back down spine first into his knee with as much force as he could muster. Akira cried out in pain as fell to the ground and rolled a little till resting on her back.

She saw him jump and had just enough time to roll out of the way before he could plunge his knife deep into her chest. Although he didn't get her in the chest, he did succeed in cutting open her arm. Akira noticed that when he stood the knife was still stuck in the ground so she quickly grabbed it up and threw it as far away as she could before collapsing back to the ground, not even realizing she could have used it herself.

Kurono just stood over her laughing as he lifted his boot…

Blood… So much blood…

Misao couldn't look anymore, she saw her brother bring his boot down on Akira's head and then the grass started to be lost in a sea of red… She couldn't look up in fear that he was standing right there knife ready to do her in.

"AKIRA!" Misao yelled as loud as she could, but her call was never returned all that she heard was the sound of a killer's laughter.

"You know Misao you used to be on my side, you used to do whatever I told you… You will regret defying me… I am going to make you suffer!" Kurono laughed darkly as he popped his neck and began walking towards the group of unharmed girls.

"Shit, shit, shit!" Kagami said over and over again, "Maybe if Misao and I can buy them more time than just maybe…" Kagami thought, but didn't have to plan for very long because she felt a shift in the wind and it was in her favor.

Suddenly the sound of engines filled the air as two motorcycles burst onto the school grounds, the two riders practically forgot their bikes in the dust as they quickly dismounted and rushed over to the group of girls, not wasting a second in putting themselves between Kurono and his targets.

"God damn if we would have got here sooner!" A boy name James Collins cursed as he surveyed the damage done by the psychotic male, which he felt could have been avoided if they had arrived sooner than they did.

"Damn, I am going to kick his ass for what he has done! Well are you ready to have some fun James?" The other boy named Kanpeki Otokonoko, better known by Tony said cracking his knuckles chuckling slightly as he sized up his opponent.

"Be careful you two he is loaded with drugs…" Kagami said with caution as she slowly helped Konata to her feet. "Konata you have to wake up and see this, I brought the best I could to get Kurono out of action permanently." Kagami said softly as she shook the smaller girl slightly.

"I took out three already what are two more?" Kurono sneered as he prepared for their worst, which he figured he could take rather easily.

"Well we are about to see!" Tony yelled as he rushed forward and wasted no time in getting Kurono into a grapple hold, completely locking his and his opponent's arms above their heads. James took this chance to run up and deliver a couple of swift blows to Kurono's back.

Kurono knew he had to separate the two, so after swiftly kicking Tony in the gut and throwing him aside he decided to focus all his attention on James. Kurono was so pumped full of drugs he was practically unable to feel anything anymore, but those drugs started to make his movements a bit sluggish and his vision foggy leaving his defense wide open for James to do what he pleased.

James went in close blocking Kurono's right hook and delivered a chop to the side of the older males neck, then griping his arm tightly James succeed in throwing Kurono over his should so that he had him pinned on the ground. James showed no mercy as he wrenched Kurono's arm, but it did little effect as Kurono used his other arm to repetitively punch James in the knee.

Tony coming to his friends rescue went and football punted Kurono's head, but this only served to break the crazy one free of James hold. Kurono was staggering, his drugs were starting to where off and he started to feel pain leak in to his body. He knew it had to be ended soon so with a swift movement he was in front of James and grappled his arm, then flipped the younger guy over his torso and then falling with his whole weight on the young fighter's wrist.

Tony heard a snapping noise and was hoping it wasn't James, but he had his doubts. It was easy to see how those with no fighting experience wouldn't stand a chance against this monster, but him and James well they were different…

"James Collins, a martial artist extraordinaire if you can get a black belt in it, he has." Kagami said to Konata as she pointed at one of the males currently fighting Kurono. "Kanpeki Otokonoko, or Tony is a kick boxer like none other with several world titles under his belt, if anyone can stand up to Kurono its these two." Kagami said with a smile as she felt Konata move.

"How did you meet them?" Konata asked suddenly as she clung to her love for support she was feeling weak, but was now extremely interested in the two on one fight she was beholding.

"An online chat room, they were using different names and we became friends! I told them about our problem and they said they would help whenever they were needed." Kagami said as she watched Tony get sent back a couple feet by a steel tipped boot kick from Kurono.

"I hope they can do it…" Konata said as their conversations died down so they could see the outcome of the fight. The fighters kept up a rally of hits and misses for a good ten minutes before the three stopped for a chance to get some air in their lungs.

"Damn he is pretty good for not being professional!" Tony said as he wiped the blood from his lips. "But we are less tiered and haven't fought three others… It is only a matter of time." Tony said with a small grin as he measured about how much Kurono had left in his tank.

Kurono had broken James's wrist and got Tony to bleed from the mouth, but even in his insane drug induced state he knew that he couldn't win a two on one… Not without more drugs…

"This is where you boy's die…" Kurono hissed darkly as he pulled a small pistol from his pocket and aimed it straight at Tony's chest or as best he could due to his clouded mind, but right before he could pull the trigger he was hit in the knee with his own knife.

Screaming in pain his first reaction was to drop down and pull it out, but due to the drugs and his unclear mind he bent of awkwardly and accidently…

BANG

"Oh, my God…" James said was he turned away to stop from throwing up. The wrongly placed shot proved to be enough to stop the crazed man, as he shot himself in the chest. Blood splattered all over the place as he collapsed on the ground in a heap.

All throughout the fight Misao had just been sitting there in a daze, apparently the loud sound of the gunshot was enough to snap her awake.

"AKIRA!" Misao yelled as she finally found the strength in her legs to run over where their littlest friend went down. "Akira you have to say something to me, anything!" Misao shouted franticly as she tried to get a response from the small girl.

Konata had regained her own strength as well and joined Misao; both the older girls were in tears as they kept trying to get Akira to react. Miyuki and Tsukasa were over to be with Mikeru, who had woken up a few minute before and was just now getting some of his own strength back. Ayano and Kagami went to check on Sanjo; by the time they got there his eyes had stopped bleeding so badly.

"Thank you so much Sanjo and no you are never alone, you are a treasured friend to all of us!" Kagami said with a smile as she pulled him into a sitting position and giving him a hug, unintentionally getting blood on her shirt, but she didn't care.

"We all love you so much, thank you for putting yourself through all this pain for us!" Ayano said softly as she pulled his arms away from his eyes and started to clean them up, due to him using his arm to stop the bleeding all down his arm and shirt was covered in blood.

"You guys are going to make me cry… Well more then I already have." Sanjo said jokingly as he winced in pain. Kagami began to bind his eyes in a soft piece of cloth, so that it would heal better.

"Man you had to be pretty good to last against that, why don't you come with us and join our little family?" James said as he walked up to the three, he had bound his broken hand with a piece of his own shirt, but the pain didn't seem to bother him very much.

"We are collecting the best fighters from every sector and we need a street fighter, what do you say?" Tony asked as he crouched in front of the injured male, who was about the same age as himself. Sanjo just smiled at this idea and stuck out his hand, which Tony firmly gripped and shook sealing the deal.

Tsukasa and Miyuki were over a few feet away both cradling Mikeru in their arms. "I was so scared; I thought you were going to die." Tsukasa said sadly as she wept rocking him back in forth as she did.

"I wasn't going down that easily, and Miyuki it looks like you were crying too." Mikeru said with a teasing tone as he watched the busty girl blush slightly.

"I do care about you Mi-Mi-Miku-kun." Miyuki stuttered as her whole face lit up a bright red.

"Awe Mooki is blushing for me, how cute." Mikeru laughed as he sat himself up, he then turned and hugged both of the girl's simultaneously, whispering his thanks in their ears. The happy moment didn't last long when the group heard Misao's scream.

"NO YOU CAN"T DIE, I WON"T LET YOU!" Misao sobbed as she hugged the smaller girl closer to her body, Misao didn't even hear the annoyed little groan that emitted from Akira.

"One your voice is making my head hurt more than it did before and two, what the hell? You just now feel like coming over to help me?" Akira said as angrily as she could, her head was killing her thanks to Kurono driving it into a patch of gravel.

"Akira we need to fix your forehead, it is bleeding pretty badly!" Konata said quickly as she pulled off her shirt so that she could wrap it around the smallest girls head, this action didn't go unnoticed by the males who all including Kagami and Akira blushed bright at the now topless girl.

It took a while, but the group managed to get the wounded treated properly and the clothing less clothes. Akira due to having lost so much blood was too weak to move on her own, so she was being held by non-other the Misao herself in the same way you would cradle a baby.

"I still hate you, you know this right?" Akira said weekly as she tried to find a comfortable position in the fanged girl's arms.

"I don't care you are a really close friend to me and I am just now realizing it… I'm sorry…" Misao said sadly as she shifted Akira into a comfy hold, Akira sighed happily as she whispered a quick thank you before falling asleep.

"Well we have more first aid at the apartment and some ice-cream, so let's go!" Konata cheered happily as she stood to leave. It was strange that this sweet, energetic, and gentle girl could be hated so much by that person lying alone in the dirt. Konata's upbeat attitude brought everyone else's attitude up from their slump and made them all smile.

"Konata is right to the apartment!" Kagami cheered as the group made their way forward.

They called 119 and told them about Kurono and where to get him, Sanjo walked with the help of James and Tony as they talked about plans for his new fighting career, while the rest of the girls tried to make small talk.

Were they traumatized? A little bit yes. Would they be able to overcome this? With the help of each other yes. Would things go back to normal? Eventually yes it would and they all knew that, which is why they didn't dwell on the past, but look at each other for the future.

"I think we should wait a while before we tell everyone what happened." Konata said softly as she leaned up against her tsundere, the day's events finally catching up to her making her feel incredibly drained.

"Yeah I think you are right… Hey Kona, I love you…" Kagami whispered lightly as she kissed the top of her lovers head, she was so happy that it was over and hopefully they wouldn't ever have to go through that again…

"I love you too…" Konata whispered back even softer, as she simply enjoyed Kagami and her life.

It would take some time to have everything go back to normal, but they were all prepared to work at it… That night was filled with laughter and fun, you would have never guessed that this group of young adults was standing at deaths door merely hours ago and made it back safe and sound…

Ending Notes: Due to the injuries sustained Akira will not be doing the Lucky channel today. I would like to say that this was an exciting chapter for me; I really wanted to write another fight scene!

Kurono did not only have steroids pumping through his veins, other drugs mixed with steroids can give the effect to where you can't feel pain. So even though he got hit he could will his body on, which is why near the end he started to slack off due to those drugs wearing off… Try to think Bane from Batman!

I am sorry Acsuperman and Killa for changing your character to such a dramatic extent, but to conserve realism it had to be done… Don't hate me X3
