A special thank you to Moonlight Memories and Beywriter for their help with this final chapter, and to Purple-Kissed-Wishes and zekesbabe for contributing ideas even though I didn't use all of them. Very much appreciated!
This is slightly late because I lost track of what day it was. (blushes)
Enjoy!
There was a car. An unintentional somersault. A tangled landing. Blue lights.
Now, I'm like a helium balloon on a steadily eroding string. Sight and speech gone, hearing left.
"Quick! We're losing her!" After several frantic minutes, the paramedics have realised that I'm floating away. One orders the other to go and grab the defibrillator, just in case, and begins chest compressions. Thirty compressions, two breaths, thirty, two, thirty, two. The man pauses for a split second to calm himself and something occurs to him. Without so much as a by-your-leave, he moves one his hands higher up my chest, stopping where, in his mind, where there should be a pair of squashy breasts. Unyielding muscle meets his grip and he flinches and mumbles something I can't quite hear. In an even more invasive move, he shoves one hand between my legs. No fleshy female mound there; the pride and joy of a man lies limp under his fingers. "Fucking hell. Fucking tranny," he exclaims under his breath with a mixture of surprise and disgust.
The sound of footsteps. He tells his colleague, "It's no good, she's gone." The other paramedic accepts this, mentions they should get me to the hospital morgue for mass cremation. He agrees. Kicks me in the chest and mutters "Burn like the freak you are," under the cover of lifting me.
That kick jolted me free at last and now my senses have returned as my spirit leaps free of its tiresome boundaries. I can see my body in the ambulance, covered in an intricately patterned spray of blood and waste. Beside it, the out-of-date driver's license proclaiming me as the female Rei Kon that 'tricked' the paramedics into attending to me.
Being my real self is a crime? The male Ray Kon is so much worse than the female shell I was trapped in for most of my life? I ponder this from my aerial view as the evidence of my abnormality is driven away to burn in white-hot flames.
I know it's short - it just seemed to work.
So, we're done! I'd like to say a massive, MASSIVE thank you to everyone who's reviewed - I could give special thanks but there are so many people who deserve one that this AN would go on forever! Everybody who reviewed the last chapter or will review this one is deserving of said thanks, as you've come back to this after the long break. I'm over the moon to have finally finished this and I hope you've all enjoyed the ride!
Two notes before I leave; if you could vote on the poll on my profile page, that would be nice, and if you wants to see the same prompts with a different fandom, Ino and Temari have begun a Naruto version. It's longer than mine, which has got to be a good thing. xD If you want to expand on any of my oneshots, do the same in this fandom or branch out like they have done, please send me the link so I can have a look!
Again, thank you ever so much and I hope you all have a brilliant summer.
