Sorry it’s short. I meant to address both couples in this chapter, but now it’s done, I want this one to stand alone. I hope it does.

Dear gods, and I thought the last chapter was hard to write!! Here it is, at last. Please review, you have no idea what I went through to get this done.
( Chapter Sixteen )

A/N: Umm...for some reason this was nearly impossible to write. Usually that means it’s either really good, or that it’s really bad. Sometimes just that I’m really tired and need a lot more caffeine.

Hope it’s really good.

It’s vaguely possible I got a little carried away here. But I enjoyed it.

Have faith. (In other words, please don’t throw anything at me. ;)

( Chapter Nine )

I was going to explain in the A/N how Sakura ended up telling Aya-chan, but in a real book I wouldn’t be able to do that. So I’ll try to do it from Aya’s POV, since that’s where I am.

Let me know how I did.
