THE FINIAL BATTLE!

CHAPTER 40

'Pucca please, I hope you are okay?!' Garu thought.

"Garu, where are we going?" Ching asked

"Yeah Garu, how do you know where we are going?" Abyo questioned

"Towards the lake!" Garu answered

"Why would Tobe, keep Pucca there?" Abyo asked

"I don't know Abyo, but I got to do is kept Pucca safe, I will not let anything happen to her again!" Garu said boldly. Both Ching and Abyo nodded, and Garu went ahead of them faster, hoping Pucca is okay!

Pucca's POV

I was walking with this guy with this sack still over my head, I wasn't sure who it was, but I knew I was in danger! It seems that we were roughly going in the bamboo forest, because I can hear all the branches being stepped on, or feeling the bushes moving.

As soon we stopped, I heard his voice again, but it seemed that he was not talking towards me. But I heard him say-

"Take her to the shack, and make sure she's in the chair, also she better not slip away from your hands. GOT IT?!" he said roughly

"Informative" said the other voice

'What shack?!' I thought

"And you better not screw this up, I want to get my precious hands, on her precious Garu!" he said firmly, throws me to the ground.

"Right sir" they said, as they grab me harshly.

"LET ME GO" I screamed, as they tried to control me, and shouted "YOU WILL NEVER DEFEATED Garu!"

I felt my cheek stinging; he must have slapped me to the ground.

"Don't you dare talked to me like that! Sent her to the chair immediately and make sure you turn it on, will you, she will deserve it!" he said as he kicked my foot brutally.

"Of course sir" they said, picking me off the ground. We walk toward a shack… I guess, I wasn't sure who these guys are, and what they want with Garu! 'Gosh I hope Garu does come soon, I need him'

After walking towards the shack we stopped, thinking we were here but Bang, I guess not. The huge Bang sounded like ply wood. I guess we had walk over something.

They roughly pushed me ahead, telling me to walk straight, or if I want to fell in. 'FALL IN WHAT?!' I thought. Until I felt little water droplets 'water uh? What's so bad about water… what idiots are they scared of a little water?'. I felt water again but with a little shock. "What?" I said

"You are not allowed to talk, kept walking!" they said firmly, so I did. Once I was off the plank of wood, I had stopped, until I was given m ore orders.

SQUEAK! The door opened, one of them with course, rough, firm hand, seized my arm, which was tied behind my back. And they threw me into a cold, hard, metal chair.

I felt to people at my legs, I tried to kick them off, but couldn't. Then I heard a click sound and something around my ankles, it was cold. Then I felt one of them at my hands, and then I heard a blade flipping.

I tried to get away, but he cut I ropes that was holding my hands together, and felt liquid, warm liquid oozing out of my hand, I must be bleeding, it hurt a little. Both of them grabbed each of my hand, a place it forcedly on the metal arm chairs, making that click sound again, feeling the strong tight brace around my wrists, and more blood had oozed out of my cut.

Then I felt hands around my face, then at my neck, I swallowed slowly, and heard, I chuckle. And felt the sack from my head, be removed. As soon they removed it they quickly put a blindfold over my eyes.

Then I heard some whisper, and heard a few words coming from their mouths, hearing only -'should cut hair? And yeah.'- are the only words I heard. Then I felt a rough hand un-doing I hair that Ching did for me. And a blade that flipped 'oh no' I though. I heard a SWOOSH sound, and then I felt little pricks falling on my arms, lap, and shoulders. My long, silky, black hair is now short black hair, just up to my neck. I moved around roughly, wanting to get out badly! But when I moved I felt my ankles and wrists, tighten more, so I better not move so much!

I heard steps of the men, walking away; I was relieved that they were leaving. But I heard a switch flipped, and heard buzzing, and electric sound also a voice, saying 'Don't worry, it won't hurt, it will only feel like hell!"

"WHAT!" I screamed, I was frighten, what was happen?! I was freaking out, shaking!

Then I felt it! I was in an Electric Arm Chair! Electricity flowed through me, shocking every part of my body, my head flung back fiercely, I felt my eyes going to the back of my head. Hand turning into fists, my toes clutching, blood pumping, my face turning into a bright, dark, red color, my voice screaming, shouting, terrifying, ears screeching, yelling, in a soberly, horrid, screeching PAIN! I had never felt so much pain in my life. Then it stopped… my blood was flowing back into place, hands straightens out, eyes going back to place, my face white and cold as snow, my face fell towards along with my hair, I was sweating it was cold now.

The blindfold was loose, so it came off. I picked up my head in suffering, aching pain. My bangs was in the way, so I could not see clearly, so I tried to whip them back, but it only caused pain to myself, I winced in pain, shutting my dark eyes, that was once pure white… I opened them once again, and turn my head very slowly trying not to cause so much pain.

I looked at my surrounding, there was nothing here, except- me, the electric arm chair, some electric cords running from the power switch to the chair, and a- my eyes widen- "oh no a..a..a bucket of WATER!" I thought 'this can't be good, if that gets on me, I'm gone for good!'

I looked up at the roof and shouted "GARU I NEED YOU!" with tears falling from my face to my lap or chest stinging me little from the electricity.

I thought for a little while thinking if Garu will save me, if I will live, then I thought about my best friends Ching, Abyo, and Garu!

'Oh Ching she was always there for me, we been together since I came to Sooga Village at the age of 10. Her and her little Won, everything we skipped rope, shop, talk about the boys! She my best friend! And if I died today I hope she knows that she's like a sister to me. I will always miss you Ching, and your little pet Won, I love you both.

And Abyo, always to impress the ladies, making us laugh with his stupid jokes, him always losing to Garu trying to convince us that Garu cheated, and especially ripping his shirt every single day, sometimes I bet him, that he can't go a day without ripping his shirt for 10 minute, and of course he lost! And I if I was too died today, I'll miss him too.

And my sweet, brave Garu! The ninja that I fell in love with, since when he save me from Tobe and his stupid ninjas. The guy I stalked, chased, cover his face with sweet kiss, air-taking hugs, hold hand with, and love him with my whole life, I would never give up on him. The guy I hope I could marry one day. But how can that happen now when I'm on the edge of death! What if I never get to see his face, his soft kisses, the way he protect me, the way he told me he loves me. I'm going to miss all the things he do! And if I died, how would he live on?! He told me that he couldn't, he would not live a day on earth without me, since the day he realized he couldn't. The day I killed me, but regretted it. He told me if I was to ever die –which he hope I wouldn't- he would die too, just for me, for we can live with our souls together. But I hope that day would never happen, because I know Garu, and I have fate in him, and he will come for me, I just know he will' I thought.

The door CREAKS open. I look up carefully, I was shocked! "TOBE! You are the one who's behind all this; I never would have thought it would be you!" Pucca said doubtfully

"Why wouldn't it be? Thought for a long time, I put all the pieces together! YOU are Garu weakness! It so have seems to be, why don't I remind you…" Tobe smirked

~FLASHBACK~

Tobe's POV

I was planning to destroy Garu today (April 10th). When I was going to sneak on Garu, he just dash out of his house, so I decided to follow. When he finally stops running he was with you! So I stood back, when I was leaving I heard I scream. I went back to the scene, I saw you on the ground cover your own blood. I was wondering why Garu would do such a thing, I was going to get a better look at you, but I heard someone calling your name (Ching), but I didn't want to be blame on such a horrible death, so I just fled.

I ran back to my hideout, and thought why would Garu kill you. But then again why would I care that's one problem out of the way! So I went back to Garu's house to continue my vicious plan to destroy him. But when I got there Ching and Abyo was already there pounding on the door! The door finally open, Garu came out and let them in. So I sneak over to a window where I can see them talk. Ching was talking saying that Master Soo had a machine, but what type of machine they are talking about.

Then in a flash, all of them scurry over Master Soo place. I followed along quietly. When I sneak myself through a window I saw the machine a time machine. But why they want with the time machine. I hid behind it, I saw Garu punching in some number in the morning. Then figure it out Garu was going to save you from what he did, well I wasn't going to let that happen. When Garu jumped in the portal, I jumped in it too. I finally hit the ground I search for Garu, but did not find him, guessing he was placed somewhere else.

Then I heard some humming when I started to walk. I walked closer to the soft hums. Then when I reach a flower patch I look up and saw you (Pucca). I was looking for something that I can capture you with, and then I found a sack. I start to walk towards you, but I saw Garu, he look straight at me. 'Shit' I thought. Then he called your name, when you walked towards him. Garu was trying to tell you something. I figure out that he was trying to warn you that I was there to.

Then I act quickly and used my sack to capture you, and start to scamper away, and went head on towards my hideout. When I finally reach there, I gave you to my ninjas, to tie you to the pole. Then I beat you, slapped you until you screamed with pain, and gave you bruises. Then Garu had appeared I sent my ninjas towards him. When he finishes them he came charging towards me. We battle head on until he had his katana at my throat. Then I lied about coming towards you and Garu anymore, and he let me go. I looked back before I escaped my own home, and thought 'I also almost had them, I will come back with bigger plans Garu, I swear to it'.

A few weeks had passed since you had your time travel death. And I had hears of you and you were in the hospital. Then I started to make more plans to see how I can destroy you and Garu. My ninjas and I had been doing more training than before. Then a few more days passed I overheard you were out of the hospital. Then I went to the forest to clear my mind and found a little pond, I sat down I thought.

When I thought I was alone, but wasn't you were here, my chance! You called my name when I stood up, you told me to leave, but I refused to, and started to mess around with you. Then you wanted to start a fight, and since you were still weak I thought it would be an easy kill. But that bastard Garu came. But lucky I had my ninjas around; I called them a started to battle with you and Garu. When you defeated my two best ninjas, I tripped Garu a walked over towards you, when I was going to strike you, Garu came in the way. But I mange to cut him badly. Then out of nowhere you came charging it me with these powers you had. I was afraid I ran off.

A couple months had pasted since the encounter we had. And one day I thought another plan, and it seems that you are Garu weakness. You in pain seem to hurt him. Then one day I saw Ring-Ring, and got an idea, we talked about me destroying you and Garu, and she seemed to be interested. So I paid her, and told her to make sure that she would have a battle with you, and make sure you were in the hospital again.

When I heard that you were in the hospital again, I was glad! Ring-Ring did her job, and with you in the hospital, I had a better chance to destroy you and Garu. When I finally got this brilliant plan how to destroy both you and Garu! Which was this! The brilliant plan that you are now stuck in!

~Present~

Pucca's POV

"Why do you even want to destroy us, what did we do to you, that you want to kill us?!"

"You are just in the way of everything! I really just want Garu to die! His father and my father had fought to the death! So his father killed mine! And I just want to get revenge!"

"STILL IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GARU!" I screamed at him. Then he slapped me, making my head turn in a second spraying blood on the walls! He was going to hit me again, so I closed my eyes, and waiting for the impact. But it never came; I open one eye, to see what made him stop.

It was just one of his ninjas.

"Sir, Charlie (a ninja) has spotted the enemy!" he spoke clearly and I smiled I knew Garu was coming to save me!

"Don't be so happy princess, your prince won't be saving you this time!" Tobe spoke roughly and left.

I was left here alone surround by only danger. I scan my own body, my dress was filthy, tear, and cover in some of my own blood, my legs had cuts from walking roughly through the forest, my hand, still cover with dried blood of my own, and now that my hair is short. I felt horrible. I just hope Garu will be okay.

Garu's POV

I heard my name throughout the bamboo forest it must have been Pucca. 'Pucca please hang in there' I thought. We ran through the forest until I found the lake. I saw no one except a little shack, in the middle of the lake.

"Pucca must be there, but where's Tobe?" Abyo questioned

"She must be, but I must stay alert just in case, because we can be ambushed" I answered quietly, they nodded in agreement.

We walked across the open field, towards the shack Pucca must be hid in.

'But why would Tobe just leave her locked up in that?' I thought

"GARU, LOOK OUT!" Ching shouted.

"DUCK DOWN" Abyo screamed at me.

A ninja star almost hit my foot, by a couple in centimeters. I grabbed my katana quickly, and got ready for the impact.

Hundreds of Tobe's minions surrounded us with their ninja stars, katana, and some with their bare hands.

"What the hell? There must be hundreds of them!" Abyo complained while getting his nunchunks. Ching got out her double swords, and got into a fighting stance.

A couple of ninjas came towards us each about had ninjas to fight and it wasn't easy. I mange to doge some of the ninjas stars. Two had hit me, one made a small cut on my right cheek, while the other split my hair that I left down. The katanas slit my chest when they got close, so my pure white shirt was stained with my fresh, dark, red pure blood that soaked my shirt. I peaked over to Abyo's and Ching's battle, they both had a few cuts, huffing and puffing, out of breath, but both were okay.

When I was distracted, one of the ninja stars slashed my left arm dreadfully. My rich blood oozed out slowly and painfully. I howled with extreme pain.

Pucca's POV

My head shot up, from the scream. 'it must be Garu, Garu please be careful' I thought.

I noticed the moon's light entered the dark room when the door opened. Tobe walked in the room with some sort metal rod in his hands. Then he grabbed a seat, and sat the chair right front of me, he placed it backwards (the back part of the chair is facing Pucca) and sat down. He looks at me with his eye lid half way open, placing the metal rod beside him.

"You are probably wondering if Garu, Ching, and Abyo is okay aren't you?" he smuggled, my eyes widen Ching and Abyo was there to?! I thought it just Garu; well I hoped that they are okay too.

"Answer me!" Tobe snarled. I nodded my head slowly.

"Well, they not great or awful" he said more calmly. Tobe stroke he face as if he had a beard with his eyes close. I just sat still, waiting him to do something.

"What is the metal rod for?" I asked carefully, he look up and moved his face from his face to the rod and pick it up, and smirk.

"Oh why don't I show you!" he said viciously. He got up from his chair, and brought the bucket of water and went back slowly walk back toward the chair with the bucket in his left hand and the metal rod in his right, he sat back down.

I watch him very carefully, watching. I was waiting, until he threw some water on me.

"Tobe please, I beg you don't do this" I cried out, with water streaming and dripping on my body.

"You ask though, didn't you want to know what the rod was for? Well I'm going to show you like I said!" Tobe smirked.

He grabbed the metal rod firmly, and stuck it on my flat, tone, stomach, and flicked on the switch on the metal rod. My eyes still wide open, as felt the electricity flow throughout my body. I felt hot, my skin was burning, it was screeching pain, I screamed with stinging pain. When I saw his face, he was laughing murderously. I started to cry.

Garu's POV

I heard a painful scream, I stop and I turn towards the shack.

"Pucca!" I whisper. I fought with more strength, courage, power, and love. I blocked, slashed, spliced, chopped, clashed, smash, countered, bashed, shouted, snarled, and fought until I defeated them all. Once I did, Ching and Abyo finish did too, we walked over all the fainted, defeated, bloody body that laid flat on the green red stain grass. We walked closer to the shack; all we had to do is swim over the lake. Both Ching and Abyo gave me a worried look.

"Garu, are you okay? You are bleeding a lot" Ching worried

"Yeah, Garu you are dripping your blooding everything" Abyo agreed

"I'll be fine, once I know Pucca is safe and in my arms" I growled

When we reached the lake, I look at the water closely. There was something about this lake I didn't like. When Abyo was about to jump in I stopped him.

"Wait Abyo, there something in this lake, give me one of your shoes" I demanded

"What! Why my shoe?!" Abyo complain

"Because Pucca's life is on the line!" I shouted

"Fine" Abyo mumble taking off his black shoe, and gave it to me. I threw it into the lake.

"WHAT THE HELL GARU?!" Abyo yelled at me.

"Just look" I point at the shoe. The black shoe had some electricity run around it.

"How the hell is that happening?" Abyo ask

"There must be some type of electric fence in the water. Right Garu?" Ching explain

"Yeah, the thing is how will we get over it now?" I asked

"Maybe we can find something long enough to reach the other side?" Ching suggested

"That's a good idea, but what will we find that long in the forest?" Abyo questioned

"That's it, let's get a bamboo stalk, and we can walk over that" I said.

Running over the bamboo stalks. When we found the right one, Abyo and I took the bamboo stalk towards the electrify lake. All of us pushed the bamboo all the way towards the little ground area where the shack was.

'Thought worry Pucca I'm coming, nothing is going to get in my way, not even death!' I thought with courage.

I balanced on the bamboo stalk, it was shaky at first, but we manage to get over it.

Pucca's POV

When I was crying in pain, I heard a loud thud. I opened my red eye, and sniff, Tobe glared at me.

"Ninjas watch her; I think we have some visitors" Tobe growled.

"Oh and if she misbehaves in any way just throw some water on her, and use this on her!" Tobe threw the metal rod at them.

"Yes sir" They said, catching the rod.

Tobe stood at the door, waiting. When the door knob jiggled, Tobe got a metal rod and a katana out. Once I saw the metal rod, I just knew what he was going to use to for. I had to warn them.

"GARU, BE CARE OF THE METAL ROD!" I shriek.

"SHUT HER UP" Tobe demanded.

The two ninjas came towards me. One with the bucket of water, and the other with the rod. He pours the whole bucket on me. Then poked me with the rod, and before they turned it on they said "Sweet Dreams". And flicked then switch on. The rush of electricity flow from my head to toe. I was in suffering distressed. I ached in agony when they did it the second time.

Garu's POV

The door was locked, but Abyo kept on jiggling it. I told him to stop, finally he did but just because he gave up on it. I backed away the door and told Ching and Abyo to move aside, they nodded. I rushed at the door to bust it down, but then I heard Pucca voice, telling me to me to be careful, but then I heard her scream. I rammed at the door with my right arm (left arm is bleeding), once I bust it down. I dash into the room, but saw a leg in my way, and I tripped over it. I fell face first; I clenched my chest, and coughed up red liquid blood sprayed the wooden floor. I looked up from the flour, and saw Pucca's legs. They were bloody, cuts and bruises. And they were strap to this metal chair; she seems to shake a lot.

I got up from the ground, but once I did, I was smite back down. Blood sprayed from my gory, bruised bottom lip, my tooth was flung from it place, by the second hit I took. I got up, I lean against the wooden walls, I was pain, I shut my straining eyes, and once I opened them I saw Ching and Abyo trying to block the two ninjas that kept Pucca captive. I looked for Tobe, he wasn't here.

"Garu look out!" Pucca shouted.

"SHUT UP, YOU BITCH!" Tobe shouted

I was pummel from the back of my head, I sink back down to the ground my hands over my head as I was being kicked roughly on the head, I felt liquid stream from my head to my neck. I felt that my life was going to end, and I was not fighting back.

"Garu, please get up, don't give up" Pucca plead.

I forced myself up, and blocked the powerful beatings. I observed the man before me, Tobe. He has grown more powerful, more vile, vicious, and murderous. We had both had hate, in your eyes. He had no cuts on him, he was in perfect shape. I was horrid, I was bleeding severely, my hair was shorter, had a missing tooth, busted lip, bruised right arm from ramming the door, left arm sliced, chest soak in my own blood.

I raised my blood cover katana, so did Tobe, we got in combat mode. I was ready to kill, I ever kill before, but I was willing to kill or even die for Pucca to be safe. My version was burry from the beating on the head, but I mange to see the body moving. Tobe came charging at me, I stood and wait for the right moment. Running towards me, rising his katana, and strike, with extreme power. But blocked by my katana, sliding down the keen blade, making little sparks that hit out face. I pushed with a little over force, just enough to fling Tobe to the wall. I came charging towards Tobe, making this my final blow. Once I did, Tobe struck me with this rod. Electricity flow through my whole body, inside and out.

"Good night, Garu!" Tobe made gashed making a huge slash from my right shoulder to my left hip.

Flesh was exposed, blood splatters my face, body, the floors, ceilings, walls, and it splatters everywhere.

"Garu, NO!" Pucca shriek in horror, she moved roughly trying to leave the electric chair, but couldn't. I tried to bring myself off the ground, and was wobbly on my feet; Tobe pushed me back to the ground, and kick my back roughly spraying more blood out of my chest.

"Die already!"Tobe gash slash out, rising his katana once again and slashed me straight through my chest, and took it out quickly making my dying body rise a little. When he pulled out his katana it was soak, covered, in my dark red, fresh, flesh blood. My blood gush out, pouring throughout my chest, making a puddle underneath me.

"Garu, please don't go, don't leave me here, I love you!" Pucca said softly, hurt, and in pain.

"Pucca" were my last words, before I died.

~After Life!~

A white light was where I was walking towards. Tears had stream down my face, I didn't kept my promise, I was suppose to defeat Tobe, Pucca this is all my fault, you are going to die because of me.

'I'm sorry' I whispered.

Once I stop walking the trail, I saw a tall, lean, man dressed in black, his hair was just above his shoulder, and it was kind of shaggy-like. Once he turn around to me face, he had black onyx eyes, just like mine.

"Come forward, my son!" Haru (Garu's dad name)

I walk slowly, thinking 'Could this really be my father?' once I reached him. He pats me on my back.

"It's notyou time right now, Garu. I have been watching over you, you have brought enough honor to your family again Garu. I see that you are risking your life for this special girl, correct?" Haru asked

"Yes, sir, but I'm afraid that she might die now because of me" I answered sadly.

"Well son, that's not going to happen, because you have been given a second chance" Haru said.

Once he said that my body started too disappeared.

"Good Luck Son" Haru said before I left, I saw my father once again, I was glad. And just before I left a woman with, long Black hair with dark green appear and wave at me and smiled, I smiled back and thought 'Mom'.

~Back to Real Life~

Pucca's POV

I watched the lifeless body before me, Garu. Garu was pale white, not moving, not breathing, his own body surrounded him, his last words was my name, when I heard, I sobbed uncontrollably.

"Ugh" Garu groan. I looked up quickly and whisper "Garu", I was gasping Garu was back, I thought he died, tears flowed my face.

"Tobe, I don't think you finish quite yet" Garu said boldly.

"WHAT!" Tobe barked.

Garu's POV

I firmly grasp my katana, my wounds were still pouring and bleeding, but didn't hurt as much. Tobe was fuming, his eyes widen in anger and confused. He charged at me, screaming, rising his katana higher.

"I'm going to finish you this time!" Tobe shriek.

When he got close enough, about to strike me, I stuck out you katana. He ran right through it like butter.

"SHIT" Tobe said as his own blood pour out from him. I pull back my katana it was covered in his and some of my blood.

Tobe tried to walk away from me, I walk forward towards him. He trip over a wooden board on the floor that was loose, falling backwards, he fell on a ninja star, that was shot from one of his own ninjas use to attack us. His back started to bleed more from the cut he fell on. All I needed to do is to make my finial strike. With my katana, I used the top point of the blade, and touch his chest with it. I made an X-mark, the one that will match the one on my face. Once I did make the X-mark, he shrieks in agony, distress, in suffering pain.

"X marks the spot" I smirked, and put my katana straight through his bare chest.

"Mission complete" I said smirking, I finally finished him, he will no longer bother Sooga Village anymore.

Pucca's POV

I watched the whole battle scene; it was the final battle between Garu and Tobe.

'Now all I got to do is getting out of this chair, but how?' I thought

Garu came towards me, and winked, I smiled. Once he reached me, he grasps my pale face with his rough, bloody hands. And put his other hand beside my head holding the electric chair I was in, and leaned forward, and his bloody, red lips touch my soft, bloody ones. I tasted his blood, I felt his tongue swirled around mine, I felt him grabbing some of my hair. Then he stopped and parted.

"Your hair, what happen? What did they do to you?" Garu worried.

"This!" one of the injured ninjas said, before he fainted, he broken the handle for the electric arm chair, which I was still in.

"Garu" I said softly.

I felt the electricity commence my body once again. But worst, this one has more power than the rod with water spilled on me. But now I was still damp when water poured over me. Electricity flowed through me, shocking every part of my body, my head flung back fiercely, I felt my eyes going to the back of my head. Hand turning into fists, my toes clutching, blood pumping, my face turning into a bright, white, pale, color, my voice screaming, shouting, terrifying, ears screeching, screeching PAIN! I had never felt so much pain in my life. Then it stopped… my blood was flowing back into place, hands straightens out, eyes going back to place, my face white and cold, my face fell towards along with my hair, I was sweating it was cold now.

I picked up my head in suffering, aching pain. My bangs was in the way, so I could not see clearly, so I tried to whip them back, but it only caused pain to myself, I winced in pain, shutting my dark eyes, that was once pure white… I opened them once again, and turn my head very slowly trying not to cause so much pain. I look at Garu he was scared, he tried to pull me out of chair, but all it did was cause more pain, the metal strap on my wrist and ankles, tighten, squeezing, until blood poured out.

"Garu stop!" I cried in pain.

Garu's POV

I saw what happen to Pucca I tried to pull her out of there, some of her electricity flow to my hand, stinging them.

"Garu, you have to take off the bracelets, when I struggle they tighten around me." Pucca explained.

"Then how do I get you out of there?" I asked

"Maybe there's a switch or button somewhere stash away" Pucca suggested

"Okay, Ching stay with Pucca, me and Abyo are going to look around."

"Okay" Ching said and walk towards Pucca.

"Okay Abyo we have to look for something that look like it's disturbed, okay" Garu said

"Okay, but what disturbed?" Abyo dumbly questioned. I want to slap him cross his head so badly, and then I look at the wooden floor to give him an example.

When I found one, Tobe's or my blood was stain on it, but I point at it anyways. Then thought for a second, 'Wait!'

I pull back the stain wooden board, and found a control button.

"Please don't let it be a trick" I groaned, when I pressed the button I heard a CLICK, I look towards Pucca's way, and she was no longer in the chair.

Pucca's POV

When I heard that CLICK sound I knew that I was finally free. When I got up, I fell back down. I observed my legs they had bruises and cut everywhere. I couldn't walk, there was too much pain.

Garu walked towards me and held out a hand, I shook my head. Then Garu whisper something in Abyo's ear, and Abyo nodded. He bent down to my level and held out his arm, and swooped me off the ground.

"Abyo agreed to carry you, since I can't obvious." Garu explained.

I put my hands over Abyo's neck. And we all walked walk off. A couple minutes passed, but Garu had fainted because of losing so much blood. So Abyo quickly pass me to Ching, then Abyo carefully threw Garu over his shoulder. Abyo and Ching ran us over to the hospital.

~Hospital~

Pucca's POV

Garu and I were rushed into the emergency rooms. I was half asleep, it was 2:00am since I have been captured by Tobe at 11:30pm, Garu was still passed out, and Abyo told me that he had to get surgery, and he is going to survive, but he has to stay at the hospital for a couple days. For me I just need to clean up, a check up, pain medicine, and a lot of rest, and they said that I can leave tomorrow.

Ching was by my side, she was very quiet though.

"Ching?" I asked

"Yeah?" Ching answer

"Is there something wrong, are you not telling me something?" I question.

"Don't worry nothing's wrong, but something is right!" Ching teased

"What is it?"I wondered

"Oh that you have to find out!" Ching said secretly

"Pleaseee" I gave her the big puppy eyes.

"Don't look at me, like that! You have to find out on your own" Ching said sternly.

"Fine!" I pouted, and crossed my arms over my chest.

The Doctor came in, and said that I'm fine, all I need to do is rest and take pain medicine and left.

Abyo's POV

'I hope Garu is okay, he was bleeding quite a lot' I thought.

The surgery doors open with Garu on the bed pan. Strolling him down to a room, close to Pucca's. I observed Garu closely, his chest was bare, but had many stitches on his chest, arms, head, and legs. He was in bad shape, he was lucky to survive.

Once we reached his room, they moved him off the bed pan to the other one, and the nurse put a blanket, over his body, and put a wet cloth on his head. And left, I was left alone with Garu. I felt something wet on my cheek.

'Am I crying?' I thought and touched my cheek again. And thought 'Firsts Pucca was in the hospital then out, then back right in it, along with my best friend Garu'.

'Stupid Tobe, Good Thing he died, what if he was after Ching next! Well that's not going to happen, because my good friend Garu destroyed him!' I thought

Normal POV

Pucca's uncles heard about Garu and Pucca both in the hospital, and rushed right over, with of course with their famous noodles. Pucca slurped up the meal that she was given. Garu's was just put side, because he was not awake yet.

~The Next Day~

Pucca was out of the hospital, but not Garu, he had awoken, ate the still warm noodles, and rested. He was told by his Doctors that he had to stay here for a couple of days. Then he asked about Pucca, they said that she was already out of the hospital.

Garu's POV

I looked over the room I stayed at, I saw Ching here she must have been here for a long time since I was asleep, then I heard the door open, the clicking of the shoes, the way he stepped, it was Abyo. I guessed he stayed here too, but I just want to leave and give Pucca her gift, that was supposed to be a romantic, fun, precious date, until it was ruin by Tobe horrible plans. I tried to lean forward to greet Abyo, but failed, he rushed to my side.

"Garu, you alright?" Abyo concerned

"Yeah, I just… it just hurts that's all." I said trying not to worry him.

"You guys can go home, relax, I'll be fine." I suggested.

"Are you sure you alright" Abyo gave me a look.

"Yes, I'll be fine" I said

"Okay, come on Ching it's getting late, Garu said we can go home" Abyo said waking up Ching.

"Huh? Okay. Garu will you be alright without us?" Ching said exhausted.

"Yes Ching, I'll be fine, thank you" I said, before they left.

Then I remembered, Pucca's gift!

'Where was it?!' I scan the room. Then I found it. It was in a tray were my belongings were.

On the tray, there was my bloody, somewhat white button shirt, my pants, my katana, shoes, fingerless gloves, and Pucca's gift, it was still wrapped in its bright red and black little bow with it, it was still perfect. I couldn't wait to give it to her, just to see her face with that sweet smile I always craved. I thought about Pucca, how she will look now, I saw that her long, silky, sweet, hair was now short as mine, she might have many scars like I will. At least she will have her beautiful, mysterious, almost black, blue eyes. I just want to go home and be with her, Ching, Abyo, and Mio!

"Mio! I hope you can find some food and someone to care for you until I get home." I remembered.

The Doctor came in the room, and she smiled. She had short, dark brown, hair in a tiny ponytail, light blue eye, soft skin, wearing a light blue sweater, and jeans, with her white, long doctor's coat over her clothes.

"How are you feeling today Garu" Doctor Joanna asked softly.

"I'm fine, I guess I can't move as much, be over all I'm fine" I replied.

"That great to hear" Joanna said with a smile.

"I'm here to check your blood pressure, and give you your shot" Joanna spoken

"S-shot?" I whispered and thought 'I really hate getting shots; I mean a needle is going into your body!'

"Sorry, what did you say?" she asked

"Oh nothing important" I lied

"okay" she said going into a drawer, and taking out some needles, and the blood pressure wrap.

"Please hold out your arm" she said sweetly.

I held it out and she carefully wrap it around my arm.

"it might hurt a bit, because of your serve cut on your arm."

I nodded, and then she pumped the blood pressure wrap.

"Your blood pressure is fine, now I need to do is to give you your shot"

She grabbed the needle that was filled with a fluid; she smiled before she gave it to me! I winced a little when it was pinching my skin.

"Now that will be your last shot, all you need to do is take these pills that I will give you until you don't need them more" she explained.

I nodded then she left. The rest of the days Abyo or Ching came by to visit and talk a little then leave, take my blood pressure, my pills, doctors came and check on me, and said that I could take off the stitches I had before left, but that would be in two days, I stay here about a week already.

~Two Days Later~

Garu's POV

Today I was taking out my stitches, and leaving today, so both Ching and Abyo came over. The doctors told them to wait here as they take them out. When I walked over to the area to take them out I saw Ching smiling, and Abyo saying hi, I smiled and waved back.

Taking out stitches wasn't bad as putting them in. they said I would have scars, some will go away after a while, but two won't, the one that made a big gash from my right shoulder to my left hip made by Tobe and the other gash on my right arm made his ninjas, those scars will almost like stay on. Then they told me that I was free to go.

Once I passed the two flapping doors, and saw Ching and Abyo sitting down, and stood up when they saw me. Ching rushed towards me, and pulled me into a tight hug. I always thought of Ching a little sister, and Abyo as a twit but a smaller brother. I hugged Ching back, brought Abyo into the hug also, I felt my shirt getting wet, Ching was crying, I comfort her by rubbing her back as Abyo kissed her cheek.

We all left as a group. We talk until we reached the Goh-Rong. We entered, the first thing I saw was her, and she was clean tables. She no longer had her hair in her two buns, it just flowed shortly around her, and it actually looks very cute. She was wearing her off the shoulder sweater that reached all the way to upper thigh, with her black leggings and black flats. I walk towards her.

"I'll like a table miss" I tensed in a deep voice. She seemed to jump a little, when I poked her.

"Okay sir here… Garu" she said jumping on top on me, making me fall backwards.

Her warm, soft, small hand wrapped around my neck, while she cuddle her head against my chest, I felt my shirt getting soaked by her tears. I put my left hand on her back rubbing, and the other on her hair, clenching her black hair. I kissed her forehead and whispered "when you finish working I want to take you some where special so we can talk. Okay?" She looked at me with her dark blue eyes that were sort of red, her nose was bright red, but she just nodded. Then she got up from me, and helps me up, then led Ching, Abyo, and me to a table. And went to the kitchen, and brought out 4 bowls of noodles.

Pucca sat next to me, and Ching sat next to Abyo. We all take about our problems were all gone no more Ring-Ring, or Tobe. How we are all in love now, me with Pucca and Abyo with Ching, we laughed and talk, and ate. When Pucca's break was over, I ask her uncles if I can help Pucca with the restaurant. They agreed, I helped Pucca clean the table, do orders, served and clean. Once it was 6pm Pucca was finished working. So we left the Goh-Rong, and walk towards the Bamboo forest, it was sunset, the perfect time to ask her. She hugged my right side while I put my arm over her shoulder. We both walked in silence not a word to each other. Then we reached the end of the Bamboo forest, we stood on a cliff.

Then out of nowhere, I part her apart from me and bent down one knee, and took out her red wrapping with the black bow, and open it showing a clear, sparking, diamond, with two red rubies shaped as hearts ring. I heard her gasp and said my name softly.

"Pucca, my sweet Pucca, will you marry me?" I proposed.

"YES YES GARU!" Pucca shouted with excitement.

I look at her dark blue shinning eyes, grabbed her soft hand, and slide the ring through her ring finger. She brought it close to her face, and awed. Then bent down and grabbed me by the neck

"Garu, I love you so much, you protected me, saved me from danger, you love, and you are so special to me, I Love You!" Pucca cried on my shoulder.

I listens her cry for a while and spoke "Pucca, I Love You too, you are sweet, beautiful, smart, powerful, caring, lovely, you brought out my love for you. I'm Sorry for all the horrible things that happen to us, I'mnever going to let that happen again, I love you!" I lift her chin, and brought her close to my lips and kissed her softly, sweetly, with passion.

She was mine, and I was hers. We would never be part anymore. I thought about our passed, the days Pucca chased me when we were 10 to 17 years old, then thought when I first lost her, I still regretted since that very day, like that saying 'You will never know that you need it until it is gone'.

Pucca and I went back to my house; I asked her if she want to sleep here tonight, she said yes, and she fell asleep in my arm with my bare chest, showing the scar. I pushed Pucca closer to me; I felt her warm breath on my chest as she cuddles closer. I kissed her, and pull the covers over us, and whisper "I Love You Forever" and fell asleep too.

~8 Years Later~

Little 5 years old Haru, was hiding from his parents in the bamboo forest, and climbed a bamboo stalk.

"Haruuu" 24 year old Pucca shouted out, looking her blue eyes son named after Garu's Father. Haru looks like Garu, solid, shaggy, ruff hair, and had Garu nose, with Pucca's eyes and smile. Haru was dressed in a long-sleeve blue undershirt, with a black shirt with a blue heart in the middle with black long pants along with his black and blue shoes.

Garu and Pucca looked and called their son, for he can take his bath, but he refused and ran away from his mother. Garu tried to catch him before he slipped through the door, of Garu's House and dash straight into the bamboo forest, he knew it well to, Pucca and Garu walk him through it.

When Haru was in the bamboo stalk his shoe left fell from his right foot, and landed right on top of Garu's Head.

"Hey, Haru come down here!" 25 year old Garu laughed as he picks up his son's shoe.

"NO BATH" Haru shouted and giggled.

"Okay, just come down here before you get hurt Haru." Pucca worried.

Haru jumped down to Pucca's arms as she lift him, and kissed him on the cheek as he wiped it off and saying "eww" and stuck his tongue at Pucca.

"He gets it from you, you know!" Pucca teased Garu

"HA-HA I know" Garu scratched the back of his head, but kissed Pucca's cheek.

Haru held his arms out to Garu. Garu picked him up from Pucca arms, and placed him on top of his neck. And they all walked back home.
