Slip of the Tongue

Slip of the Tongue Part IX
By cillaxox


cillaxox: Sorry it took me so long to update. It was a combination of writer’s block, me needing a break and my nephew coming down for a weekend visit. Enough of my excuses, on to the final chapter!

A/N: this chapter takes place a few months after the last chapter, the exact amount will be revealed later on.

_______________________________________________________________________

“Man you look like shit,” Yusuke stated bluntly. He was addressing his friend Kuwabara who had dark circles under his eyes.

“Hiei kept me up all night.”

“Let’s end this conversation now!”

“Get your mind out of the gutter Urameshi!” Kuwabara stretched and let out a jaw-popping yawn. “Hiei was talking till about 3am.”

“I didn’t know he knew that many words.”

“I think he’s making up for all the time he spent not talking.”

“Maybe you should start gagging him at night.”

“There’s a good idea!”

The two boys started laughing. Their chuckles of amusement were interrupted when they heard, “What’s a good idea?”

Both boys jumped. Kuwabara spun around and faced Hiei. “I thought we agreed you were gonna stop that!”

“And miss the opportunity to scare you? I think not.”

While the two rivals turned lovers argued the detective slowly backed away. “That’s my cue to go.”

Hiei told the dark haired boy, “You don’t have to leave on my account detective.”

The three guys walked in silence for a few blocks. Yusuke wasn’t quite sure what to say to his two friends who just so happened to be dating. Without thinking he blurted out, “Have you guys talked to Kurama lately?”

It was a valid question, seeing how the last time they saw him was over a month ago when they had a case. During the mission the fox kept to himself. He did his job with the usual efficiency then left when it was complete. It wasn’t until then that Kuwabara and Hiei told the detective about the rift that nearly broke up the team.

“I stopped by to see him a few days ago,” Hiei said as if he wasn’t mentioning anything of importance.

Kuwabara stared at his lover expectantly. “Is that all you’re gonna say?”

“Yeah come on tell us,” Yusuke added.

“He was as he always is.”

The carrot-top boy scratched his head in confusion. “Was that supposed to be an answer or a riddle?”

The detective looked equally stupefied. “You could at least give Kuwabara a straight answer.”

Hiei sighed at his companions’ ignorance. “Do I have to draw a picture?”

Yusuke said, “It might help.”

Kuwabara nodded his head in agreement. “As long as you don’t make one of those funny dot pictures that shrinks use.”

“He’s doing fine!” The demon added an extra insult, “I honestly don’t know why I spend time with you two.”

A broad smile was plastered on the taller human’s face. “I know why you hang around me.” He leaned down and whispered a few choice words in his lover’s ear.

Hiei licked his right fang as he often did when becoming sexually excited. “Don’t mention that unless you actually plan on doing it.”

“I’ll do it, but you gotta return the favor.”

Yusuke began stepping away. “Okay, that is definitely my cue to leave.” He gave a wave over his shoulder as he walked away. “See you two lovebirds later.”

Kuwabara waved at his friend even though the dark haired boy couldn’t see it. “Later Urameshi.”

Hiei waited until the detective was out of earshot before he said, “It took him long enough to leave.”

“You’re the one that invited him to walk with us!”

“I didn’t think he actually would.”

Kuwabara arched an eyebrow. “Do you have to work hard to be this rude or does it come naturally?”

“You and your stupid questions, of course it comes naturally.”

The young man was more than happy to continue arguing, but he was almost to the apartment complex he resided in. He unconsciously mumbled aloud, “I wonder if Sis is at home.”

“I hope she isn’t, then we can have some privacy.”

Kuwabara blushed as he remembered all the times his sister had walked in on him and Hiei. Each time it happened Shizuru would chastise him for not locking the door or tell him that she wasn’t interested in watching them fumble around. Despite all that he had to admit Shizuru was pretty cool about allowing his boyfriend to live with them. It meant that he had to take on more responsibilities around the apartment. He now had to clean the place, do laundry, buy groceries and any other chore his sister could think off, which she did quite often. However, the young man felt it was worth the extra work.

“That’s odd,” Hiei said without warning.

“What?”

“You’ll see.”

As they got closer to the building Kuwabara noticed an all too familiar face. “Whoa, that is weird.”

“Hello Kurama,” Hiei said in a flat voice.

The redhead flashed a sunny smile. “I was worried you had gone somewhere else.”

“Is everything okay?” Kuwabara questioned.

“Everything is fine. I just wanted to stop by and see you two.”

The fire demon noticed for the first time that the fox was holding his hands behind is back. “What are you hiding?” he asked instantly on guard.

“Oh this.” Kurama showed what was behind his back. It was a flowerpot filled with what appeared to be nothing more than dirt.

Kuwabara slapped his hand against his forehead. “Not this again!”

“No it’s not like that, honest.” Kurama cleared his throat and began his brief presentation. “This is a Love Blossom. It only blooms for two people who are in love, the stronger the love the more beautiful the flower. As long as the couple is together the flower will live. It’s a present for you and Hiei.”

Kuwabara grudgingly accepted the flowerpot being offered. “I’m warning you if this plant starts making me act weird I’m coming after you.”

“I assure you Kuwabara I’m done trying to break you two up.”

“Wait a minute...” Hiei zipped behind the redhead and saw another surprise hidden behind his back. “What about these?”

The fox let out an embarrassed chuckle. “I see you discovered my little secret.” He slowly revealed a bouquet of yellow roses and Forget Me Nots lightly surrounded by lacy fern leaves.

Kuwabara grinned from ear to ear. “You sly old fox.”

Kurama nervously fidgeted with the flowers.

“Who are they for?” The younger human asked.

“It’s someone from school, but I’m not saying who.”

“Who ever it is they’re very lucky,” the carrot-top replied.

“It’s nothing to get excited about yet,” Kurama gave Hiei a sideways glance, “Right now I’m just testing my other options.” He glanced at his watch. “I have to go now or else I’ll be late for my date.”

Together the pair watched as the fox walked away. Kuwabara turned his attention back to the fire demon beside him. His voice was full of mischief as he asked, “Are you jealous?”

Hiei appeared momentarily confused. “Jealous of what?”

“That he’s getting over you so quickly.”

The apparition scoffed, “I’m not even going to dignify that with an answer.”

“I’m just teasing.”

The couple went inside and made their way up to the apartment. Kuwabara called out, “Hey Sis are you here?” When no reply came he said, “I guess she’s still at work.”

“That’s the best news I’ve heard all day.”

Hiei wasn’t even in their bedroom yet when he began stripping. Every time he removed an article of clothing he tossed it to his lover. By the time he enter the bedroom he was naked from the waist up. He soon rectified that by removing his pants and slinging them at Kuwabara. He sat down on the bed naked as the day he was born.

The young man's eyes lingered on his boyfriend’s compact muscular body. “I gotta have you.”

Hiei simply smiled and motioned the anxious young man closer. He didn’t mind it when his lover leapt on the bed and lay down on top of him. He didn’t mind the way Kuwabara's body slowly crushed the air from his lungs. He accepted the carrot-top’s passionate kiss, welcoming the boy’s eager tongue. The searing kiss seemed to last an eternity, but it wasn’t nearly long enough. Before too long their meager air supply was depleted leaving the two lover’s out of breath.

The fire demon finally noticed all the weight that was resting on him. “Get up I can’t breathe.”

“I forgot how weak you are,” Kuwabara teased, “You can’t handle all of me can you?”

As soon as he caught his breath the apparition shot back, “I’m just not capable of supporting a giant lummox.”

“That’s what I just said.”

Hiei was poised to reply, but Kuwabara interrupted the demon, “Turn over on your stomach.” While the demon did as he was told the human undressed.

“What do you plan on doing?”

“You’ll see. Now close your eyes.”

Kuwabara spread Hiei’s legs then settled in between them. He placed a hand on each of the apparition’s pale globes and pulled them apart. His tongue traced a wet path down the crack of the taut bottom below him. The tip of his slippery muscle came to a halt on the desired destination. He circled his tongue around the puckered skin. He would push the tip of his tongue in only pull back out. The young man found the demon’s groans of disappointment amusing. He pushed his tongue in deeper, however, the demon’s orifice was so tight it proved to be a struggle just to keep it in. The human reluctantly went back to just flicking the rim of the hole.

Each time Hiei felt the gentle sweep of his lover’s tongue pleasure laced moans escaped his lips. He slowly raised his hips up and down; he found that the simple repetitive movement made the already pleasant sensation even more pleasing.

Kuwabara urged Hiei up onto his knees. The carrot-top dragged his hot tongue from his lover’s hole down to the soft sac hanging below and thoroughly licked the sensitive area. He snaked a hand through the demon’s legs and placed it on the apparition’s obvious erection. He used long loose strokes that teased his lover and left the demon wanting for more. While he stroked the rigid shaft he placed sharp bites on the apparition’s cheeks.

The biting and skillful use of Kuwabara's hand made Hiei quiver. The demon was moaning constantly. He gripped the sheets tightly, twisting it about. His body began to writhe about uncontrollably as Kuwabara began to speed up his hand.

Precum was leaking from the tip of Hiei’s manhood. Kuwabara spread the fluid around the head of the demon’s shaft. He longed to taste the salty treat, but he didn’t want to stop pleasuring the aroused demon just yet.

“I’m gonna make you cum.”

“No, I want to wait.”

Kuwabara tightened his grip around Hiei’s shaft. “You sure about that?”

“I’ll be all right.” Hiei looked over his shoulder and eyed his lover with lustful eyes. “What about you?”

“I’m good. After what you did to me this morning I think I owe you one.”

Yusuke had been partly right in his assumption that the reason Kuwabara was so tired was because, the pair had been up to something naughty.

The fire demon sat up then turned to face his lover. He looked into the youth’s blue eyes; he wasn’t surprised to see they held same fiery passion that clouded his red ones. Hiei placed a hand in between the young man’s leg and gave his erection a squeeze. “You may be okay, but I still want to touch you…” He lowered his lips to swollen purple head and gave it a quick lick. “And I want to taste you…”

Kuwabara's entire body tensed as he felt Hiei’s mouth engulf him. He coiled the demon’s black hair around his fingers and urged the bobbing head deeper. He was always amazed at how easily the fire apparition could devour him without choking. He resisted the urge to scream in pain when he felt Hiei’s overly generous use of teeth.

Sensing his lover’s discomfort Hiei stopped nipping the young man’s shaft. He used long licks to sooth the tender flesh. Goosebumps covered Kuwabara's skin when he felt the loving licks. He quickly forgot about the bites that had previously been bothering him.

“Suck on me again.”

Hiei obliged the young man’s eager request. He swallowed the thick erection, stroking it with his mouth. The demon’s hands were empty so he decided to put them to good use. The carrot-top groaned loudly when he felt his lover begin playing with his swollen sac, juggling the two balls and massaging each one in turn. The extra touches proved to be too much and he ended up swatting the apparition’s roaming hand away lest he came right then and there.

While Hiei continued to lavish attention the young man’s erection he used a free hand to rummage in the nightstand drawer. After several attempts he finally found what he was searching for. He flipped the lid open and placed some lubricant on his index and middle fingers.

Kuwabara emitted a soft hiss as he felt two cool fingers slide inside him. He willed himself to relax or else he would miss out on what happened next. He felt the demon’s scissoring back and forth. He sighed contentedly when he felt the digits curl and carefully massaged his tunnel. Hiei’s fingers picked up speed. The digits moved so fast they quickly used up the lube that was coating them. Despite the lack of lubricant the demon still continued to finger the boy, for some reason he couldn’t bring himself to stop.

Unable to take anymore, Kuwabara surged upward. On his way up he grabbed Hiei’s shoulders and forced the demon backwards. His voice was low as he growled, “Right now…”

The young man proceeded to flip the fire apparition back onto his stomach. He quickly lubed his shaft up with a generous amount of lube. Hiei, seeing what the young man was doing, told him, “You do realize that I don’t really need any of that.”

“It ain’t for you Shorty. I’m doing it for me.”

Kuwabara leveled the tip of his shaft at the entrance of his lover’s entrance. He used his free hand to guide the demon backwards onto his waiting erection. Once the tip had pushed back the tight ring of muscle the young man regained control. He pushed forward slowly sheathing his shaft to the hilt inside Hiei. Both of the lovers let out loud moans to convey their enjoyment.

Two bodies melded into to one. Kuwabara couldn’t tell where his body ended and his boyfriend’s began. He shifted his hips, angling them so that he could plow deeper into the apparition’s snug body. His goal was to find Hiei’s prostate and assault the erogenous zone until the apparition begged for mercy. He knew he was successful when he heard his lover’s breathing change drastically. The demon’s breath came in short pants as if he was having trouble getting enough air. The faster the young man’s thrusts came the harder it seemed for Hiei to breathe.

Hiei lifted his hips, wordlessly inviting the young man to enter him even deeper. His mouth was agape as he panted into the pillow below him. He repeatedly called out his lover’s name and begged the boy not to stop. No matter how fast and furious the strokes became he still couldn’t get enough of them.

“More!” The apparition called out in a desperate voice.

Kuwabara rolled onto his side pulling Hiei with him not once breaking their intimate contact. Once he reestablished his rhythm he began to play with his lover’s body. He nibbled on the tempting earlobe. He alternately pinched the demon’s nipples. His teasing worked Hiei into a frenzy, he could tell by the way the apparition’s body temperature rose.

Hiei’s left hand found its way down to his raging erection. He nearly melted as soon as he felt the contact. He had been so enraptured by what Kuwabara was doing that he forgot about his own needs. He began stroking himself in time with his lover’s thrusts. The fire demon felt the familiar tide building inside him; once it reached its peak he let the wave carry him away.

Kuwabara watched in fascination as Hiei’s face contorted then relaxed in pleasure. He found the demon’s satisfied smile so bewitching that sight of it alone nearly made him climax. What really did the young man in was the way his lover murmured his name after he came. The gentle whisper filled him with happiness. Kuwabara gave a final lunge then met his release inside his lover.

The exhausted couple spooned, waiting for their circulation to return to normal. They rested quietly for several minutes. Kuwabara end the pleasant silence by asking an unexpected question, “Can I see your extra eye?”

“It’s called a Jagan, show the proper respect. And why do you want to see it?”

Despite the slight reprimand Kuwabara remained unfazed. “I just wanna see it.”

Hiei slipped his headband off and revealed his powerful eye. The purple iris focused on Kuwabara and began to glow.

“What’s it doing?”

“It’s only examining you.”

“Oh okay.” Kuwabara thought about what Hiei just told him. “Why is it doing that?”

“It wants to see whether you are worthy or not.”

“Am I?”

The glowing of Hiei’s Jagan subsided. “You’re still alive aren't you?”

“You’re a laugh riot,” Kuwabara responded dryly. The young man quickly forgot about his boyfriend’s sarcasm. He wondered aloud, “I bet I could get one of those. I would be really strong too! Where do I get it done?”

Hiei laughed at the boy’s naiveté. “You’re too weak to get one implanted. The pain would kill you.”

“I can take the pain!”

The demon reached over and pinched the carrot-top’s arm. The young man grabbed his arm and let out a loud yelp. “Ouch! Why’d you go and do that?!”

“To prove a point.”

“If you were trying to prove you’re a rotten punk then congrats!” Kuwabara got out of bed and pulled on a pair of jeans. “I’m going to the kitchen, you want anything?”

“No.” Hiei curled up on his side. “Leave me alone for a little while.”

“Yes your Highness,” Kuwabara mumbled sardonically.

“There might be hope for you if you keep that attitude up.”

Kuwabara made a face at the demon’s back.

“I saw that.”

The young man froze in place.

“You’re so gullible.” Even halfway asleep Hiei found the energy to harass Kuwabara. “Come back in twenty minutes.” The demon buried his head under a pillow, ending the conversation.

Kuwabara waited until he was positive the fire apparition was asleep before making another face. He then went in the kitchen and grabbed a soda from the refrigerator then sat on the couch. Since Hiei wanted to be left alone to rest he figured he watch TV and kill some time.

As he watched the flashy commercials his mind began to drift. He thought about Hiei as he often did in his free time. The spiky haired demon held a large spot in his heart. He knew that his feelings ran deep and were sincere. Just the sight of the apparition alone was enough to cheer him. There was no doubt in his mind that he was in love with Hiei. Though the young man was positive of his feelings he had yet to express them. He was worried if he revealed his true feelings too soon he would scare Hiei off. The thought of losing his beloved demon, because he was to forward filled him with dread.

Kuwabara was pulled from reverie by Hiei’s sudden entrance. “I was wondering where you were.”

“I was leaving you alone like you asked.”

Hiei walked around the couch and sat down on his lover’s lap. “I didn’t expect you to be gone so long.”

It’s only been,” the young man looked at his watch, “forty minutes!”

“See why I was concerned.”

Hiei turned the carrot-top’s head to the side and began kissing his neck. He moved his lips in a heated fervor only discover he wasn’t getting a response. “Is something wrong?”

“Hiei.”

“Yes?”

“Can I talk to you?”

“I was under the impression we were doing just that.”

“We’ve been dating for three months.”

“Three months and eight days,” Hiei corrected.

“I didn’t figure you as the type to remember stuff like that.”

“I’m full of surprises. If you stick around you’ll find out more.”

“That’s kinda what I wanted to talk to you about.”

The fire demon quieted and listened intently.

“I know it’s kinda soon to say this, but it feels right. If it feels right then it can’t be wrong, right? I don’t know maybe I shouldn’t…”

Hiei interjected, “Stop rambling and spit it out.”

“I love you.”

“Is that all?”

“Yeah.”

There was a long silence, the kind of silence that causes uneasiness, the kind of quiet that makes one regret. Kuwabara didn’t want to ask the dreaded question, but did so anyways. “Do you love me?”

Hiei got off the carrot-top’s lap and sat at the opposite end of the couch.

The young man became nervous and began shaking his boyfriend’s shoulder. “Come on tell me! Do you or don’t you?”

Hiei relished in the boy’s anxiety. Without looking at the human he said, “Yes.”

“Is that all you’re gonna say? You know you could at least tell me it! How hard is it to say three freakin’ words?”

“Emotions are for the weak as is the need to express them.”

Kuwabara crossed his arms over his chest and smiled smugly. “Anyone will tell you that scrawny runts who can’t express their feelings are messed up. In a way I’m stronger then you because I can say ‘I love you’ and you can’t. In your face fire brat!”

“You stronger me…that’s the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard.”

“So you can say, ‘I love you’. Go ahead and say it then.” Kuwabara waited for an answer, but it never came. A wistful smile replaced the triumphant one he had earlier. “Thought so. You can’t say it, can you? Maybe you don’t really love me after all.”

Hiei found his boyfriend’s antics a bit irritating. He couldn’t help but think he was being manipulated and to make it even worse the manipulation was working. The fire demon considered his options: he could either ignore the boy’s request or he could say something that would make his boyfriend happy. After little deliberation he decided that a happy Kuwabara was definitely better than an upset one.

Even though they were the only two in the apartment Hiei still looked around to make sure nobody heard him say, “I love you Kazuma.”

The apparition was surprised to find that contrary to his preconceived notion he did not spontaneously combust. He felt it was worth saying those words once he saw the look on Kuwabara's face. He was enjoying the moment until he heard his boyfriend ask, “Are you gonna ask me to be your mate now?”

Hiei balked at the young man’s question. “What?!”

“If we both love each other and want to be together then it makes sense that we make it official.”

“The only thing that’s official is that you lost your mind Kazuma.” Hiei got off the couch and stood in the middle of the floor. “What do you even know about mating?”

“I know you have to bite me, the mark will never go away and it lets everybody know that I got someone.”

“Where did you hear all this?”

The carrot-top stated mater-of-factly, “Botan.”

“Lousy, good for nothing gossip!”

Hiei became agitated and began pacing around the room. The thought of mating with Kuwabara had crossed his mind he just didn’t think it would be this soon. He hated to admit it, but the idea of being tied down, even to Kuwabara, didn’t sit well with him. He valued his freedom and he wouldn’t be able to do that if had to take care of someone. Speaking of taking care of someone…His thoughts raced on and on forming a jumble of doubts, each one clamoring to be heard.

The fire apparition sat down on the armchair across from the couch and thought about what Kuwabara was asking of him. Even he had to admit that there was a certain strain of logic to the young man’s thinking. They were in love so they should mate. But then he also thought the boy was over simplifying things.

“Well are we gonna do it or not?”

“No.”

“Why don’t you want us to mate?!” Kuwabara roared.

“It’s not that I don’t want to. One day I would like to make you my mate…” Hiei wasn’t used to explaining himself. It felt odd to have to justify his reasons to another. “I just don’t think now is the time.”

The young man’s face turned several shades darker with anger. “You say you love me, but can’t tell me it. You say you want me as your make, but you won’t take me. Yeah and I’m the crazy one! At least I can make up my mind and say what I really mean!”

Kuwabara stormed out of the room, heading towards his bedroom. Hiei walked directly behind the young man. “Kazuma listen to me!”

“What’s there to hear?”

The demon told the human in his most sincere voice, which until now had never been used, “I meant what I said.”

“Then prove it,” Kuwabara dared. He plopped down on the bed and waited to see what the demon would do next.

Hiei sat down next to Kuwabara then unceremoniously leaned over and bit the boy’s neck. The young man jerked, but the fire demon held the human in place. The apparition punctured the skin and sunk his fangs in until they couldn’t move any further. His nostrils flared as the coppery scent of fresh blood filled the air. He didn’t want to let go of the succulent flesh.

Kuwabara shoved the demon away. The abrupt movement caused the apparition’s fangs to slice more flesh than intended. The carrot-top clamped a hand over his jagged wound to slow the blood flow. “What the hell did you do?!”

Hiei licked his lips, catching several drops of blood with his tongue. “I made you my mate.”

“Just like that?!”

“It’s a fairly simple process.” Hiei eyed the wound on his lover’s neck. “Let me help you. It would be pointless to mate with you only to bleed out on me ten minutes later.”

Hiei took two fingers and ran them over the laceration. Kuwabara flinched as he felt the smoldering digits touch his skin. The demon used his control over fire to cauterize the wound.

“You’ll be fine.” Hiei noticed the pensive countenance of the young carrot-top. “What’s wrong now?” he asked in a gruff voice.

“I guess it wasn’t what I expected,” Kuwabara tried to explain himself, “I thought it would be more special.”

“It was special! I marked you as my mate, that’s an honor that no else has even come close to having.”

“For a little guy you sure do have a big ego.”

A flicker of worry flitted across the apparition’s face. “You don’t regret this do you? You can’t take it back Kazuma.”

“No I’m happy,” Kuwabara glanced at his boyfriend. “but you could have been nicer about it.”

“I’m not the romantic type.”

“Neither am I! I wasn’t asking for flowers, candles and slow music, I just wanted …hell I don’t even know what I wanted, but I do know that it wasn’t you nearly ripping my throat out.”

“If you had stayed still that wouldn’t have happened!”

Hiei berated himself the moment the words left his mouth. He chanced a glance Kuwabara and saw the young man’s mouth set in a grimace. The fire demon leaned over and whispered in the human’s ear, “I love you that’s why I took you as my mate,” he paused then continued on in his hushed tone, “and I would like for you to take me as yours.”

“Do you really mean that or are you just saying it to shut me up?”

Hiei turned his back on Kuwabara then pointed at the side of his neck near the base. “This is the best spot. Don’t hold back when you bite me otherwise it won’t be deep enough. Fair warning you’ll probably burn your mouth on my blood.” Hiei looked back over his shoulder at the boy behind him. “The only thing that remains is for you to decide.”

Kuwabara opened his mouth wide and placed it over the spot Hiei had shown him earlier. He could feel the demon’s pulse throbbing wildly underneath his lips. He acted on instinct. He closed his jaws around the flesh, adding pressure until his teeth broke through the skin. The demon’s blood surged forth and filled his mouth. The crimson liquid burned him, but he ignored the pain that lit up his nervous system. Kuwabara held on as long as he could, but he eventually had to let go for the heat was too much for him. He watched in amazement as the wound healed before his eyes and was replaced with a patch of smooth red skin.

Kuwabara placed a kiss on the mating mark he gave Hiei. “I love you.”

Hiei reverted back to his surly self; the sweet words he had spoken earlier were a distant memory. “That’s nice Kazuma.”

“You know you’re happy.”

The fire demon turned and embraced his new mate. “Yes I am.”

They didn’t notice as a small green tendril grew out of the dirt in the flowerpot. As the two lovers kissed the tendril continued growing, but it soon stopped. Sure it was only a mere seedling, but one day it would bloom into a beautiful flower, just like Hiei and Kuwabara's love would blossom into something very rare and special. All they need is time.

cillaxox: Well that’s the last chapter, it’s so sad…Oh well what’s a story without an ending? This is my longest fanfic with a continuous plot. I’m quite proud of myself for sticking to it. It gives me hope for the future.

To all you absolutely wonderful people who left me reviews: I’d give you all hugs but my arms don’t reach that far and I’d give you candy, but I ate it all. I hope my deepest and most sincere thanks are enough. It’s because of you guys I kept at it and finished this story.

And finally, She-wolf I hoped you enjoyed the story ^_^ as well as everybody else!

On a separate note: I don’t know much about flowers. All I know is that I wanted blue and yellow flowers to make up the bouquet. My mom assured me that yellow roses and Forget Me Nots look good together, so I took her for her word. After all she knows more about that stuff then me (she gardens). Basically what I’m trying to say is if you think those flowers don’t look together blame my mom, not me. Just kidding…kinda.
