Here is the final chapter of Friends with Benefits. I'm so glad that I was able to write this!

Rima's P.O.V-
Was this what happened when people confessed?
"I love you, too." Senri finally said. We just sat there. Well what did you expect? Some ultra romantic moment where I jumped into Senri's arms? Yeah, right.
"Okay, so now what?" I had never done this before. I didn't really know what to expect.
Senri shrugged. "I don't know. Keep our relationship the same? Except, we're not friends anymore. We're dating, I guess?"
I nodded approvingly, "Okay. That works." We lapsed into silence.
I don't know what happened, or when, but Senri and I had fallen asleep. I managed to land my head on his shoulder and his head on top of mine.
I was awoken by someone poking my side. I shifted, and turned my face to the crook of Senri's neck. Someone laughed.
"Wake up, Shiki and Touya. We have class. Get changed." I picked that voice out to be Aidou.
I sat up, and glared at Aidou. "Try and wake up Senri." I was pretty sure Aidou was going to get his head ripped off.
"I will." Aidou, obviously didn't know Senri as well as I did. He grabbed his arm, and shook him. Everyone flinched.
Slowly, Senri opened his eyes. They seemed extra icy right now. Ichijou shook his head. I didn't feel a shred of sympathy for the stupid Hanabusa Aidou. Leisurely, Senri brought his finger to his mouth, and touched it to a canine. I nearly burst out laughing. I knew exactly what Senri was planning.
"That's enough. I don't have time for this." Kaname sighed tiredly. Senri nodded slightly, and dropped his hand. Aidou sighed with relief.
I stood up, and made my way up the stairs. I heard Senri follow me.
As we changed, I couldn't help but notice the calmer atmosphere. When we walked down the stairs and on our way to the gate, Senri and I walked closely. Our fingers were brushing, not so much holding, but more like touching.
Outside the gate, Kaname began talking to Yuuki. The rest of us couldn't help but be surprised with her answers.
When Kaname stalked to class, we followed silently, completely stunned.
In class, Kaname dismissed the teacher, and she hurried out of the room, terribly frightened.
Kaname dug his finger nails into the table top.
"President Kuran. . ." Aidou started, taking hesitant steps towards him.
I sat beside Senri, both of us quiet. Under the table, Senri and I had un-consciously linked hands.
Kaname's eyes trained on us, eyes dark. I was confused at the presidents resentful eyes. So I turned my head to the window. The moon was out, and stars were splattered across the sky.
I was so fascinated by the moon, that I hadn't noticed the crack on the window.
Then the window shattered, shards flying directly at me. Everyone was so bewildered, that they couldn't move. A shard sliced open my cheek, and one lodged itself into my arm and thigh. My eyebrows pushed together. I was un-able to register the pain. The smaller debris sprinkled over me, leaving tiny scratches over the rest of my face and hand. Senri was completely un-harmed, and so was the rest of the night class. Blood soaked my jacket and skirt. Blood gushed down my left cheek. I turned back, facing the class, gasping lightly from the pain.
Then everyone is in motion, except for Kaname. Senri was gently touching my face, Ichijou bolting towards me, Ruka following, Aidou running around wildly; while Kain was trying to calm him to no avail.
"President Kuran! Why?" Aidou was asking, eyeing Kaname fearfully.
Kaname didn't answer, but instead stormed out of the class.
With my right arm, I shakily jerked the glass from my arm, and winced. Then, I followed suit by yanking the second piece from my thigh.
Even with all the blood, I knew everyone was more concerned about me then my blood.
I felt myself falling backwards, passing out in the process.
"Ugh." The moan escaped my lips, and the brightness from the ceiling lamp hurt my closed eyes.
Someone shifted beside me. What was going on? Then the memories came back to me quickly. Kaname's anger being un-leashed onto me.
Finally, I forced my eyes open, to find myself staring at the hospital ceiling. I turned my neck to the left, where the shifting came from, with a great deal of difficulty. I saw the top of Senri's mahogany head, with his face pressed against the hospital bed.
"S—Senri?" I asked quietly, shifting my body.
Senri woke up slowly, sitting up, his icy blue eyes looking at me with concern.
"Are you okay?" Senri questioned, reaching for my hand, and lacing our fingers.
"Ye—yeah, I guess." I say, squeezing his warm fingers.
"Good. I'll let you get cleaned up." Senri stood up, and let my fingers drop. Senri sluggishly walked to the door, giving me a small tug of the lips. "I'm glad your okay." Then he was gone.
What did Senri mean by clean up? I managed to get out of the bed, and hobble to a mirror. For some reason, there was still a bandage on my cheek, and gauze was wrapped around my arm. I assumed there was still a bandage on my thigh, because it hurt somewhat to walk.
"Why?" I muttered. Changing into my uniform, I realized that Senri had left me a fresh one. I saw the blood soaked uniform on the chair.
I joined Senri out in the hallway, and our hands joined. I guess it was time to face Kaname. . .
Our car pulled up in front of the Kuran mansion. I held onto Senri's sleeve.
The tiny person beside me stirred. "Mommy? Where are we?"
I turned my head in the direction of our one year old son. It had been a year since the battle at cross academy.
"Shh, go back to sleep. Mommy and daddy will be back momentarily." Satoshi nodded, and his mahogany hair fell in his face like Senri's did. Although he was my child, he shared more features with Senri. He had my nose. That was it. He rested his small head against the seat, and quickly fell asleep. Another inheritance from Senri. He could fall asleep as quick as you could turn off a light. I kissed his forehead, and Senri and I got out of the running car.
We walked up to the mansion, Senri hesitant to see his cousin.
I knocked on the door, and Aidou answered.
"Shiki? Touya? What are you doing here?" He asked surprised. We hadn't seen him for a year, so he didn't know.
I held up my left hand, and said coldly, "Shiki. Not Touya." Aidou nodded surprised, but still stood in the hall.
"Are we not allowed in?" Senri asked, in an almost bored tone. The only reason we were here was to see if Ichijou was.
"No, Kaname-sama has allowed no visitors to see Yuuki Cr—Lady Yuuki." Aidou quickly covered his slip up. I heard sounds of footsteps from behind Aidou.
"Who is it, Aidou?" Yuuki asked, poking her head around Aidou's body. "Shiki! Rima! How nice to see you! Please, come in."
"But," Aidou protested, "Kaname-sama said no visitors!"
"Aidou. Shiki and Rima are allowed to come in." Yuuki said, almost darkly. Aidou gulped and let us in. Yuuki's smile brightened.
"What brings you here?" She asked us, and tried to lead us into the den.
"We can't stay long. We just wanted to see if Ichijou was here." Senri said, and I knew he didn't want to leave Satoshi in the car any longer then I did.
"Oh. . ." Her beautiful face fell, "No, he's not. I'll show you out." Ten paces before the door, I finally spoke.
"Yuuki, I didn't realize you were a heel person." She blushed.
"I'm not. But Kaname insists on it." There was a tone of anger at the mention of Kaname's name. So, they siblings were fighting.
"Well, goodbye." We left, getting back into the car with our son.
At the party, I wore a simple black and purple dress. The bodice of the dress was black, there was a silver band around the abdomen, and the skirt was purple, which reached my knees. Senri and Satoshi were wearing black tuxes, and looked utterly adorable. Just don't tell them I said that.
I held Satoshi on my hip, talking with Ruka, who was linking arms with Kain. I guess she finally gave up on Kaname. Ruka was squeezing Satoshi's cheek, and he puffed them out, a light pink on his cheeks.
"Ruka. . ." She dropped her hold on my son, and pouted.
"He's just so cute." Ruka grinned at Satoshi. Satoshi dug his face into the space between my shoulder and neck.
Yuuki joined us, "Cousin! How are you?" She was addressing Senri.
"Fine. How are you, cousin?" I hadn't fail to notice Senri step closer to me.
Yuuki pursed her lips, "Lovely. Beautiful child, Senri and Rima."
I gave her a rare half smile, "Thank you."
Yuuki nodded absently. She said goodbye and left. I went back to conversing with Ruka and Kain.
Later that night, we had seen Ichijou, but that's beside the point. Yuuki had run away. And one of the vampire hunters were missing. That's how we knew she was alive. It was Zero Kiryu. Her lover. Kaname was of course furious, and that was to be expected.
As the years went by, Kaname was un-able to find Yuuki. Senri and I had another child, a daughter, and we haven't spoken with Kaname for years now. Ichijou visited us every so often.
That was that. We were happy. We were loved. I loved Senri, Satoshi and Ren (our daughter) and they loved me. Life was perfect.
Cheesy ending! Yay! So, I'm glad however read it liked it. Possibly. Kaname was an ass. . . Sorry Kaname lovers, but I honestly don't like him. So, please review, and I hope to hear from you again in another story.
