Disclaimer: I own the plot, the OCs and the idea...the media, graphics and references to Johhnys is the reason I have this disclaimer.
Summary:
They risked their lives to save him. Now, to save them, he has to risk everything else. Bonds are tested and the stakes are raised.
They brought him home from hell, now… to protect them… he has to go back….
It’s over, everything… all the worries, the anxiety, the uncertainty… the impending doom. Six months later things are so normal it’s hard to imagine all that happened, well actually happened.
A lot of other things happened though, Ryutaro’s no longer in the group… well the Jimoshu. We’re usually hanging out together and oh yeah we’re planning to move back into our ‘penthouse’ when our working life gets stabilized a bit.
Daiki managed to wake Suzuka up by the way. I realized it when he called me up one day and took the whole gang out for barbeque… his treat. He spilled the beans after my third helping out of frustration that I was not asking about the occasion but rather for a fourth helping.
I did that on purpose.
Nakamura-san had taken her back to her home. Her father was still missing but we knew he was not on the island when it went under because of Sakura. I followed Yabu-chan one day after practice and saw him meeting up with her in a café. What was I supposed to do? I crashed in of course. We were both disguised although I think the silver ponytail wig was a little too much on my part.
I was surprised at what she revealed to us. She was dying of poisoning but somebody had given her the antidote (I guessed it was Silver since he had been there in the dungeon all along) and she had hazy recollection of Hoshitsuka-san, (Suzuka’s dad) taking her to a small motor boat and back to the mainland. She woke up in the care of a young man who led her to us. She had lost contact with him, but she believes he was given intsructions to help her out which he did with compassion. When she told us his name… I realized… Silver had saved her.
It was during the winter holidays that we had our first concert in Dome after the whole… Quicksilver deal with Hikaru-kun and Yabu-chan producing it and managing all the details. They promised our management a return concert the fans won’t ever be able to forget and I guess it really did leave an impact.
When Yuto did a drum solo, it snowed within the dome. Oh yah and his drumset was placed on a large, glistening, crystalline snowflake. Hikaru juggled multiple balls that caught fire during his performance and he kept on juggling to the amazement of the crowds, a sly grin in place. Keito had sparkling sand surrounding him as he played his guitar, I swear there were pieces of diamonds in there the way it sparkled in the stage lights. Yuya appeared on stage in a blue tinged force sphere, lightning bolts exploding within its confines, wrapped around his body. The staff were confused as to why Ryu was under the stage, dancing around randomly, hands in the air.
Chinen’s usual bungee jump had a few modifications done to it. He sung while gliding around the arena, hair fluttering in the wind, a beautiful pair of feathery wings attached to his costume. The staff were trying to figure out what kind of new cords were used to give so much freedom of movement to Chinen without being visible to the naked eye. Kei did this really pretty fan dance, clad in glittery, flowy fabric. The fans awed at how the whole arena was dyed in the same colour as Kei’s clothes, something the cameras couldn’t catch. Then flowers fell from the darkness of the ceiling, disappearing when the fans tried to touch them.
I heard Yabu-chan telling our manager that it was an advanced 3D technology that didn’t require special goggles. Daiki had a little dance solo and he made the fans’ penlights float during the performance, first above the seats and later above himself, like a gigantic disc of lights… yeah I’m not quite sure how Yabu-chan explained that to the dumbstruck staff. Something tells me we might have a hard time keeping our abilities secret, at least from our management team.
After Yabu materialized in a burst of the stage fountains, our manager fainted.
Well, here I am.
Voices echo in my consciousness as I hear every sound, every whispered comment, every cheer. The stage is still dark but I can see the glowing penlights, the waving uchiwas… the crowd is excited, I don’t need my senses to tell me that. There is adrenaline flowing through my bloodstream. The lights are upon me all of a sudden and the crowd gasps simultaneously as they see me crouching on top of a pole 15 feet above the stage surface, balancing on one foot. I hear someone shout out my name and cheer me on. I find that lone voice and point at her to her delight. I sighed, I will never get used to feeling queasy so high up.
I pull up my trademark smirk as the camera focuses on me and then spread my hands, like an eagle about to take flight. Praying inwardly I jump as the crowd screams. I managed to land, quite gracefully if I might say so and the previously darkened stage lit up, revealing the whole group, posed and ready.
Well, here we go.

[Bonus Scene] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BONUS SCENE
“They are moving back in tomorrow!” Shintaro exclaimed staring at the younger version of what was previously a mighty Hana. The large flower on the top was still a bud.
“Well, the professor did tell us that the Phantom Flower’s maturation period is 2-3 years, Hana… well, we kinda did cheat,” Yuma responded, patting the seeds he had just planted in the flowerbed to keep baby Hana company. They were all… different plants, similar to Hana in purpose.
“Well, as long as we don’t overdo it right?” Shintaro replied, kneeling next to Yuma.
“Right!” replied the older boy.
They touched the soil, a finger each and watched as the seedlings Yuma had planted blossomed into young plants with very green leaves and pretty flowers. They both looked up to where baby Hana trembled a little and the bud erupted open, a full fledge blossom.
“I hope Jump like their welcome home present.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: Song choice is Pentatonix's medley of Daft Punk. I just happen to love both <3 I just found a lot of the lyrics kinda suitable... especially the last song... for this part of the story. It's probably just me.
I can't believe I'm finally done, I've told as much as I wanted to and could throw into the flow. I first started the Shadow Boys story in 2009, my first ever fanfiction too! Shadow Boys is heavily influenced and inspired by everything that is JUMP and I don't mean just their songs. It's been a long and crazy ride and I salute you for having stayed till the very end. I had lots of fun in every step of the way and at every point, everyone's encouragment and relentless support has pushed me and gave me the incentive to keep writing. My biggest fear when I was uploading the first ever chapter of Shadow Boys Brotherhood back in 2009 was the lack of response or that people won't read my work. I've come a long way and I have much to work on... I'm far from even 'good' but I have met such kind and encouraging people here who have supported me in ways of comments, constructive criticism or just by letting me know that they are reading... and it's something that gives me the courage to keep working hard and to stay in this fandom and keep supporting the group that has given me this amazing experience and inspired me to keep at it, to not give up on something that I love by doing just the same. These boys rock honestly! :)
Here is a special mention to princessxnicola, she cameo-ed as Suzuka here. Girl, I had fun with Suzuka, thanks again and I hope you enjoyed the story!
For now... here is Tsu saying;
Sayounara! <3
My self-improvement tool :)
Poll I reached the end! Ha!

If you want to add me as a friend on my account, please leave me a message, anything would do cause sometimes I just breeze through my notifications and friend requests get over-looked. Also, with that message, we will be on talking terms as I'm a little shy when it comes to introductions :P. Check out my library for more fics by me! I'll be working on Akatsuki and a new fic next!
