Thanks for the massive support of this fic, I decided to put in a little alternate ending to this. Wonder Panda Tan-Tan...hope ya like this!

Alternate Ending

While Ichi and I were watching the clouds, I could sense that he was a little quiet again and I've known him for a long time because I can tell that he was feeling guilty about something and I went over to him and asked, "You okay, Ich?"

Ichi looked up to me and he could tell that I was concerned for him and he replied, "I was just thinking."

I rose my eyebrows a little bit and asked, "About what?"

Ichi sighed heavily and he turned to me and said, "About everything that had happened back at the orphanage. Like...most of the times I've pushed you away from me because of my powers."

I recalled that moment when he almost used his fire powers to harm me while I was defending him years ago and I still couldn't believe he's still holding onto that and I said, "Ich, you've got control of your powers now."

Ichi sighed and said, "Yeah, I know...but sometimes I wonder what would happen if I had lost control of my powers and end up hurting you?"

"Ich...you never did. I've already gotten over it." I added.

Ichi looked away for a second and then he asked, "Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why did you like...never run away from me because of my demon side? I used to think that maybe you wouldn't have want anything to do with me when I was younger." Ichi said, still looking at the ground.

That question pretty much spoke to me in a lot of ways and I said, "Because you remind me of who I used to feel when I was alone in my room...dealing with the loss of my parents. But I know I could never run away from you because I promised that I'd be here for you when you're alone, whether you have a demon side or not."

Ichi slowly looked at me for a second and he said, "You'd still accept me...even if I try to push you away?"

"I never gave up on you then and I'm not giving up on you now. And I would still accept you...no matter what." I said.

Ichi looks at me with a little cracked smile and he said, "I've made a little something for you to say thank you."

I was looking forward to hear what he was gonna say and he brought in his guitar and began singing me this song.

There's a place that I know
It's not pretty there and few have ever gone
If I show it to you now
Will it make you run away

Or will you stay
Even if it hurts
Even if I try to push you out
Will you return?
And remind me who I really am
Please remind me who I really am

Everybody's got a dark side
Do you accept me?
Can you accept mine?
Nobody's a picture perfect
But we're worth it
You know that we're worth it
Will you accept me?
Even with my dark side?

Like a diamond
From black dust
It's hard to know
What can become
If you give up
So don't give up on me
Please remind me who I really am

Don't run away
Don't run away
Just tell me that you will stay
Promise me you will stay
Don't run away
Don't run away
Just promise me you will stay
Promise me you will stay

Will you accept me? ohh

Don't run away
Don't run away

Don't run away
Promise you'll stay

After he was done with the song, I looked up at him and he said, "Dude, I will always accept you...even with your dark side. You're my best friend, Ichi...and nothing's gonna change that."

"You promise?" asked Ichi.

I smiled at him and replied, "I promise."

We both did our pinky swear and both of us laughed with each other and hugged each other and it shows that we'll always be friends forever. Just then, Po walks in and he said, "Hey, guys...time for training."

Ichi and I looked at each other and we smirked at each other and Ichi said, "Last one to the training hall has to do Po's chores for a week!'

I laughed at that as I ran behind him and said, "In your dreams!"

Hope ya like this alternate ending! This song is 'Dark Side' from Kelly Clarkson. Listen to this song and this is Ichi's theme for this one. And thanks again!
