Aurgh... I actually bit a small part of my tongue hard enough to make it bleed DX

Axis1: Ghost is still very much alive. Thanks for the review :3

Troopergirl49: Yuri must be dead because we all love him XD Just kidding. (All part of my plan all along)

Roach felt sore all over his body, and his eyes were a bit groggy when he tried to open them. He whined a bit at the pain he was in. When he sniffed, he didn't smell any smoke or dust. He instead breathed in something that smelled like medicine. He even felt that some parts of his skin were tight. He finally found the strength to adjust to the brightness in the place he was in. He saw that he was in a small, white room, and his body was resting on a table. He looked ahead to see a dog laying on the floor, whose breathing was slow and steady. Roach recognized the scent and whined a bit to grab his attention, "G-Ghost...?"

The dog's ears perked up and its eyes opened, and he wagged his tail as he stood up, "Hey. Look who finally decided to wake up."

Roach wagged his tail as Ghost walked over and put his front paws up on the table. The runt slightly panicked a bit, thinking back to his previous mission, "Ghost... Yuri, did he make it? Where is he?"

Ghost lowered his ears a bit, "He wasn't with you when they came back. I can only assume he's dead, Roach."

Roach sighed, pausing for a moment before opening his eyes again, "I did it though, Ghost. I killed that dog that killed our friends."

"You did?"

"Pouty eyes, Ghost... Guess it works."

"What-"

As Roach finished, someone entered the room, and both dogs wagged their tails, Roach's being slightly slow. The human that entered rubbed the runt's ears, who then sat up to lick that person's chin, or at least tried to. He whined again at the pain, but was eager to get up and out. "Easy, bud," the man said, and then proceeded to lift Roach up and onto the floor. With his paws on the ground, nearly slipping, he walked up to greet Ghost with a joyful lick on the snout. Ghost was happy too, though was a bit tired himself from waiting for so long for Roach to wake up. "Good to have you back," He said, "How're you feeling?"

"Mm... Aside from the pain," Roach began, "I'm actually pretty starving."

"Thought so. You might be getting it now." Ghost glanced up at the human, and wagged his tail a bit while backing up, "Of course after your little medication."

"Medication? You mean like the pills shoved down your throat?"

"Mm-hmm..."

"Oh. Well it can't be that bad can it-" Roach was stopped shortly as the man crouched down and told the runt to sit. Roach did so, and was suddenly uncomfortable with the feeling of his mouth being forced open. He felt the man's fingers in his throat, dropping something down his neck and shortly pulling them out as Roach took a moment to shake off that feeling. "That... Actually wasn't enjoyable. I can see why you don't like them."

"They're for your own good."

"Shut up..."

Walking rather slow, Ghost slowed down to match Roach's pace as they made their way outside. Though with the urge to itch the stitches in his skin and his fur, it was mostly the reason why the runt was being so slow. He finally tried focusing on something else rather than the scars and stitches. Um... Food! Meat! Er... His thoughts were interrupted as he and Ghost got outside. It felt nice to breathe in some fresh air, and when Roach looked ahead, he could see Nika curled up to John, who both looked exhausted from something. Though when Nika caught the sight of both dogs coming slowly down the steps, she immediately got up and barked with excitement. These guys really missed me.

"Roach!" Nika ended up tackling him to the ground. While Roach was busy struggling with an energetic pup, John strolled over to Ghost, "How's the pisspup?"

"He's got some fresh ones for once," Ghost commented, referring to the stitched up marks on Roach's body.

"They suit him."

"They do."

"Augh! Nika, alright!" Roach laughed a bit, while struggling to get up, "Okay, take it easy there."

"Sorry, it's just that... We've been so worried about you since your and Yuri left. I thought... You were gonna die."

"It's okay... It's all over now. We won't be fighting for a while now."

"Still doesn't mean we can let our guard down," John commented.

"Can I at least sleep and eat for once? All of these busy days have made me hungry."

"We saved a bowl for you. Let's go."

And... This is the end! God, I've got no idea how to end something anymore :p

But I want to thank everyone who followed/favorited/reviewed this story. I actually didn't know it was gonna get some positive attention. It was just a ridiculous idea at first for me since when I first wrote this, I was sort of going through a tough stage in my life and just seeing a picture of Ghost and Roach as dogs made me smile a bit, and thus this story came to mind. But I really did enjoy writing this. There were times when I wanted to discontinue the story since I've had those ups and downs (Mostly the downs), but I'm really glad I didn't. Thanks again all you readers- Hey! Ghost get off of Roach! I'm not getting to that story yet! Bad Ghost! *Throws journal* Bad!
