SPOILERSPOILERSPOILERSPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok.. here are some spoilers... and don't read if you don't want to know..
i have been very very very naughty and skipped to the end of volume 9.

eventually i will read from the beginning... i couldn't help it.. this volume focuses on sousuke and chidori ..more on sousuke's feelling... and there is a BIG development re: their relationship..you know why i had to skip to the end... right???
sousuke goes back to his previous lifestyle.. (mission after mission)... and chidori searches for him.. she is furious and deeply deeply hurt...
the main part of the story is this:::: sousuke fights (again!!!) with gaulon and G tells S that he has killed chidori and S will never her again.. and he laughs "hahahahahaha" S is devestated.. i mean really really really devestated!!! and angry at G and at himself for not being there for her.. after S kills G..(hopefully for good!!!) S is in turmoil.. he has no desire to go on living.. no hope.. he has failed her,, he will never see her again.. all these thoughts (and more) weregoing through his mind until chidori shows up....
tess apologized to sagara (don't know exactly what she did.. but i know it was re: chidori...and they fought.

. sagara always obeys orders.. but when it concerns chidori... i guess its different..) she admitted that she was jealous of chidori.. people close to sagara knew that chidori was constantly on his mind.. and tess asked (more likely begged) sagara to call her by her name... and he does.. for the first time.. ( anyway,, tess really gets on my nerves..)
Sagara goes back to tokyo with chidori.. after school (i think it was after school... i will check later).. she hits him several times for leaving her without a word.. and mainly for hurting her (heartache.. ) and she began to cry.. and sagara hugs chidori and pats her back..(basically he didn't know what to do at first... it was kind of cute..) and then their classmate and kyoko walks in (some were watching out of curiosity...)and accuses sagara for making chidori
cry,, urges S to apologize..so he bows and apologizes and promises her he will never ever hurt her...
that's it for now.. i don't think i left anything "important"

well.. this volume proves sagara's final choice... anyway, now i will start from vol 8.. if i remember anything else i will post it up.. chao~~
