We wrap this up and a certain someone comes here for the last time.

Chapter 20: Live On

A few hours after the funeral, Travis was looking at the Sacred Peach Tree, just looking out into the moonlight, just thinking things over. He kept Quiang pretty much in his mind and in his heart and wished that he'd still live and they'd be together again.

But the more times he thought about Quiang, the more lonely he got. He sighed heavily and lowered his head down and only stared at the ground, letting a few tears come down on his face and then, he sniffled a few times and whispered, "I miss you, Quiang."

As he closed his eyes, there was a sudden bright light shining in the sky and Travis tried to shield it from his eyes from blinding himself, but as he opened his eyes, he was suddenly surprised to see a white figure coming down on him and to his surprise...

"Hey, little brother."

Travis lets out a quiet gasp as he couldn't believe what he was seeing...it was Quiang. He breathed heavily and asked, "Is that you?"

Quiang smiled at Travis and walked up to him and he just wiped his years for him and said, "I see that you missed me."

Travis was completely speechless to know that this is really happening and he tried to find the right words to say, but he just lost it completely. He started sobbing uncontrollably as he hugged him tightly and he said, "Quiang...you don't know how much I've missed you!"

Quiang puts his hand around his little brother's shoulder and told him, "It's all right. I just came here because I was wondering why you were so sad."

Travis lets out a heavy sigh because of so much things that had happened because of Quiang succumbing to leukemia and replied, "Because I miss you. It's been hard for me since you were gone and...I'm just scared that I might forget about you."

He lifted Travis' chin up and he gently said to him, "Travs...you'll never forget about me and I won't forget you."

He was relieved to hear that, but there was yet another worry coming through him that he's got no family now and he looked at Quiang and said, "But...I still feel like I got nobody, like I'm all alone, you know?"

"You're not alone. You've got everyone else with you. They're your family and we will always be brothers...even if we can't see each other. Just do me one favor; when you feel alone, always think of me and I'll be right beside you...in your heart." Quiang said, with a smile.

Travis nodded his head and said, "I promise."

Just then, they both hugged each other again and Travis whispered in a tearful voice, "I love you, Quiang."

Quiang was looking forward to hear those words come out of Travis and he replied, "I love you too, little brother."

Suddenly, both of them saw the kung-fu masters right behind them and they were also surprised and astonished to see Quiang as an angel for the first time. They didn't really know how to react to it, other than the fact that they couldn't believe what they were seeing, but could definitely tell that it was Quaing. He smiled at them and asked, "What's up, guys?"

Seeing Quiang as an angel made them speechless and breathless at the same time, but they were also happy to see him too. Shifu went up to Quiang and he said, "I can't believe it's you."

"Well...hey. I was watching you guys and I realized how much I was missed. I guess I made an impact on you guys, huh?" asked Quiang.

Shifu tried to keep from crying and replied, "Yes...you did."

Then, he looked at the other masters and he asked, "You guys think you can look out for Travis for me? I know that he needs someone to care for and to be looked after."

They all nodded their head and completely accepted his request. Quiang smiled at this and he said, "I gotta go."

"You're leaving already?" asked Travis.

He looks out at the sky and then, Quiang lets out a sigh and replied, "Yeah. But don't worry. You've got them to look after you now and I'll be waiting for you until we're together again."

Travis got teary-eyed and Quiang puts a hand on his shoulder and said, "Remember...don't mourn for me. I'm in a better place and I will always be here for you."

Travis understood what Quiang said and he stood by as he watched his brother go back to heaven, making the white light fade away and Shifu went to him and told him, "We'll be here for you, Travis...because we're a family."

He looked at everyone else and he just figured that they all care for him so much that he knows that he'll be taken care of and will always have Quiang's spirit deep in his heart and he started smiling and hugged every single one of them.

Then, he looks up at the sky and thought to himself, 'Thanks, Quiang. I'm gonna live on...with my new family and I'll always remember you.'

Sorry if I made it short, but this was all I got. I had to bring Quiang back as an angel this time to make sure that Travis will be taken care of. Well, that's it and I'd like to thank you guys for the outpouring support for this fic...though some lost interest. Eh, well...what can ya do? AniUniverse '05 saying peace!
