I just finished writing the finale of Breaking Through the Storm (see rss feed above). Is it normal to cry after finishing it? Because I did... ^-^; I got chapters 34, 35, 36, 37, and 38 finished over break, but my beta reader has to look them over first. Actually, I have to finish up 37 and fill in some blank spots because there were times I didn't know the name Kyoraku's zanpakuto and Yammy's ressureccion. I got most of the kidou spells down since I printed out a list of them.
Right now pretty much all I have to finish up is Kenny's fight with Yammy and fill in a couple blanks. I'm still not quite sure how I'm going to do that. I just know that Halibel and Stark are going to finish him off for them. Kenpachi will either be a) defeated; b) dragged back to the real world; or c) Stark and Halibel get in his way and they fight, and THEN he gets dragged back to the real world. I'm contemplating on b or c.
I swear there are too many characters in Bleach! I ended up putting so many people in Hueco Mundo to rescue Orihime that I forgot about some of them and remembered at the last second. So all in all, I would have to send one, two, three, four... let's say about ten people back to the real world. In one trip! That seems really excessive, but there were only two extra people that I put in the Hueco Mundo arc (Toshiro and Sayuri). But that was kinda necessary because it IS a ToshiroxOC story. So I just have to work that bit out and I can send it all to my beta!
About the crying... I wrote the last bit as a major HitsuxSayu (Hitsugaya Toshiro x Kurosaki Sayuri) fluff moment. It seems crazy, but I was so happy for Sayuri that I cried. My OCs are like children to me. (even though I have very few) That seems like a Stephanie Meyer type deal (because Bella is her self-insert/daughter she never had), but it's not. I couldn't ever imagine myself in that situation, but I can for Sayuri because she matured and ended up as almost a completely different person by the end of the story. It wasn't a drastic change, but it was so gradual that I only realized it at the end of the story. My Sayu-chan's grown up! T-T (Yes, my characters are all too real in my head) I suppose it would make me feel better if I shared the last bit. [This is just as all the captains, etc. are going back to SS after killing Aizen]

Toshiro whispered something to Shuuhei, and the doors closed and disappeared while he stayed behind. Sayuri was slightly confused as to what he was doing. "I thought you had to go back," she said. Toshiro looked at her with a noticeable blush on his face.
"I thought I should give you a proper goodbye and... thank you," he said quietly. He took a step toward Sayuri so that there was a foot or so of space between the two. His heart raced, and his palms were slightly sweaty. "Promise me you'll be careful, Sayuri. I don't want to come back and find you critically injured."
"Toshiro, I-" Before Sayuri could finish her sentence, he pulled her close to him. He placed one hand on her cheek and the other on her arm. Toshiro shut his eyes and gave her a chaste kiss. Sayuri closed her eyes and returned the kiss. It was at that moment that time slowed down. Seconds felt like minutes, yet they were well spent. He pulled away and looked her in the eyes one last time. As he started to turn away, the hand holding Sayuri's arm momentarily met with her hand.
Toshiro opened and stepped through the Senkaimon but not before stealing another glance at Sayuri. Her face turned bright red--so bright that it started to clash with her hair. She put her fingers to her lips and watched him disappear into the light.

Yes, THAT is what made me cry like a baby. I think I'm a bit too emotional at times. But it felt kind of like watching Voices of a Distant Star, except there was lots of blood, guts, and gore. I cried all the way through VoaDS, but it was only a half hour. I won't say "how can I not cry?" because I didn't cry when writing it the first time. It was after I read through it. It was also while I was listening to Continued Story by Kuroishi Hitomi. That's the last insert song played after Lelouch dies in Code Geass before the end song (which really ruined the whole moment...) That made me cry the most, but I was sad when Lelouch died, too. Anyways, it's an awesome song. I got it off gendou.com. I might be able to embed a player of some sort into this post with the song...
Since I'm having a bit of trouble with Kenny's fight, I decided that I should touch up the first couple chapters of the sequel. I wrote 1 & 2 a long time ago, but I edited ch 1 and finished ch 2 last night. The sequel is called "Sonata of the Storm" or "Breaking Through the Storm: Sonata of the Storm." I think I'm going with the first one, but the second is a possibility.
