Well, this is it. And unless something drastic happens, I'm not sure there will be a lot more for a while; well, I have hakkais_shadow's fics, and the crossover (in which pretty Korean boys will not shut up, even the half-Korean who should know better, the dork), if it ever gets done.

Anyway, on to the last chapter of Arashi's Tower. Thanks to everyone who's stuck through it with me (including the unbelievable long time where I couldn't figure out how to get where I wanted to go).

Oh! one last thing: « » indicates that Satoshi (and the others) are speaking English (which is the only time in this fic it indicates English).

Parts: 1 - 5, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen

( And all was right in the world. )

Thanks again for reading!

Penultimate post for this thing. And while I've enjoyed it, seriously, it's hit the "I just want it DONE" Phase. Well, okay, I've been there for weeks.

But here it is. At last.

Parts: 1 - 5, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen

( It was a surprise, and yet... it wasn't. And that was okay, too. )

Next, the epilog.

So, back in Japan. And the first meeting with the group.

Parts: 1 - 5, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen

( And the dread nearly made him go home before he could see them. )

Welcome new readers!

I do lock my posts on occasion for no reason obvious to anyone but myself; I will probably unlock them later.

More of Satoshi working the rage out (and real dancing - embedding was diabled, but here is Top Secret. Oh, how I wish I had the sound file (mp3?) of this man singing this... or this, downloaded. Or both. Yeah).

Parts: 1 - 5, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen

( He'd never leave that part of his life out again, it was too embarrassing to explain it later. )

*sigh* I forgot how much I LOVE that song.

Things are picking up. A little. It's not done, yet, no, but things are getting better.

Parts: 1 - 5, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen.

( Threatening people who deal with the fanmail? What? )

I almost forgot about this.

We're getting close; this chapter is mostly the fallout of Satoshi's hike. And yes, he learns from this.

Parts: 1 - 5, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.

( The shock made it harder to think. )

Yeah, short. But it does get better.

Well, this is getting interesting.

Parts: 1 - 5, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven.

( He really didn't expect to get quite that... angry. )

I'm not sure this makes sense. If not, I'm sorry.

And the descent continues, because being nice is just too much for me.

Besides, it's not fun, and it's not exactly realistic.

And again, more of my complete ignorance of the Japanese culture comes out, I'm sure. « » means Japanese spoken between a native and non-native speaker (don't ask me why I put it in like that, I don't know).

Parts: 1 - 5, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

( Snow? Now? Where they insane? )

I'll be the first to admit I know nothing of what happens when someone gets drunk, etc., so if it's wrong... I'm sorry. angel_katchan tried to help me, but I'm sometimes just hopeless. Also. Timing is RUSHED. Sorry.

Again, « » indicates Japanese spoken between a native and a non-native speaker.

Parts: 1 - 5, six, seven, eight, nine.

( He wanted to scream that he was fine! )

Yeah, I don't know.

I've been looking forward to this one.

And because reader_a has been asking, here it is.

Parts: 1 - 5, six, seven, eight

( Really, he'd rather not have seen them at all. )

And the fall out. Oh, yes, there is some of that.

So, the eighth part, for what it's worth.

« » means Japanese in this part, too.

Previous parts: 1 - 5, six, seven.

( He should have made sure he'd locked the door. )

Previous parts: 1 - 5, six

Oh. « » means Japanese is spoken in this section. I can't remember if I'm consistent through the story.

Oh, yeah, and beware a random occurance. Not very realistic, but I wanted it there anyway.

( Who would have guessed Jonathan had a friend who spoke Japanese? )

Parts 1-5 are linked here.

Part 6

( He sees things he doesn't realize until they come out on paper )

So, I've posted five parts of this up on arashirabu - here are the links to all the parts.

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4

Part 5

I'll start posting this again, soon. Hopefully.
