Well, as 1998 looms over the city of Chicago...  hiroshin is seen on
the roof of the 2-story apartment biulding that contains his apartment...

     He wears his usual attire, which consists of mainly black items... 
a black silk (almost Chinese-like) shirt with a gold colored lining, a
pair of black jogging pants, which whip in the cold Chicago winds. 
hiroshin also wears his black leather "bomber" jacket which was left to
him by his best friend after his sudden death, hiroshin's nak=me
embroidered on the back in kanji...

     hiroshin looks up into the night sky, towards the TAATM treefort... 
using his newly refined teleportation skills, he disappears from the grip
of the Chicago winds and reappears floating outside L7 of teh tree
fort...

     hiroshin seems to be holding something in his hand...  it is the
communicator that he had given to H-chan.  hiroshin grips onto the small
medallion in his hand and the "crystal" begins to crack.

     hiroshin peers inside and sees Sasami-clone and Aloysius at a table
waiting for the New Year to arrive...  hiroshin then remebers why he is
there in the first place...

     hiroshin concentrates on the broken pendant in his hand.  The cracks
begin to seal from the immense amount of power hiroshin is drawing into
it...  It glows radantly, attracting Sasami and Aloysius's attention. 
they run over to the window as hiroshin says a "prayer" towards someone
in particular...

     [My _one_ wish this New Year...  is to have my H-chan back...]

     A small tear falls from hiroshins eye as he turns and teleports away
to places unknown...  Sasami and Aloysuis finally get to the window. 
Sasami notices that hiroshin has left something on the windowsill.  It is
the pendant, which is still glowing with radiant energy...

     Gomennasai...  I just had to write at least one RP...  This will
probably be the last one for a while from me, unless I am provoked into
doing so, and I don'tthink anyone really wants _that_ ^_^
