Final Chapter

Chapter 9: Destiny

Three days later...

Kyo, Kairi, and Lillian were on their way to Aya's shop. Kairi was wearing her new kimono and Lillian was wearing a little blue dress. Kyo was in his normal attire. They entered the shop and Minne greeted them.

"Hey, Ayame's in the back." said Minne.

"Alright, we'll head back there." said Kairi.

They entered the back and Ayame was nowhere in sight.

"Great. Where the hell is he?" said Kyo as he sat down on the couch.

"He'll be back." replied Kairi.

"Sorry for the wait! I was just finishing the last few touches on Tohru's dress." said a voice.

"Great." murmured Kyo.

"Grandpa Aya!" said Lillian.

"Ayame!" said Kairi as Aya entered the room.

"Kairi! How beautiful you look today! You too my dear Lillian!" said Aya.

"I can't stand him." thought Kyo.

"I'll take Lillian back first before I get to the bride." stated Aya as he picked up Lillian. "She's going to be the talk of the Sohma's!"

Aya took Lillian back and Kairi sat beside Kyo. She laid her head on his shoulder.

"Kyo, I have something we need to discuss." whispered Kairi.

"What is it?" asked Kyo.

"You're going to be a daddy again."

Kyo looked at Kairi shocked. Kairi smiled a soft smile. Kyo smiled back.

"Alright! Here's the flower girl!" said Aya as he pulled the curtain back.

Lillian was wearing a white kimono with silver fans embroidered upon it. Her sash was a pale blue and her sandals were clear.

"Oh sweetie! Just look at you!" said Kairi as Lillian twirled around.

"You look like an angel." said Kyo as Lillian blushed.

Lillian tired to hide her face as Aya took Kairi back. Kyo was laughing at her.

"I won't be pretty as mommy." stated Lillian.

"Yes you will." replied Kyo. "You will be just as pretty."

Lillian smiled and blushed more.

"Auntie Tohru's dress will be the same as mine. Her wedding dress is so pretty!" said Lillian as she danced around.

"Her and Yuki's wedding is a few days after your mom's and mine." stated Kyo.

Aya came from behind the curtain. Lillian sat in Kyo's lap.

"Here she is. The future Mrs. Kyo Sohma!" said Aya as he pulled the curtain back.

Kyo gazed at Kairi as she stepped forward. Kairi was in a full length white kimono wit a pale blue sash and traditional sandals. The under kimono was a pale blue. You could barely see Kairi's hands. Her cheeks were rosy as she looked at Kyo.

"Kairi...I..." whispered Kyo.

"I know." Kairi whispered back.

"Don't worry Kyo, your kimono is ready. All the kimono's are ready. So are the dresses and tux's for Yuki and Tohru's wedding." stated Ayame.

"The fanclub girls will be so jealous of Tohru." said Kairi.

"Ya, are you sure you'll be okay? I mean, can you walk?" asked Kyo.

"This is what I'm use to wear all the time. I'm sure I can handle it." Kairi replied.

"Mommy's so pretty!" said Lillian.

"You too sweetie." said Kairi as she knelt down.

Lillian blushed and laughed. Kairi smiled as she rubbed Lillian's head. Kyo and Ayame smiled.

"Now for the groom!"

"Don't you come near me!"

About a week later...

The sun was shining brightly and the sky was clear. In an opening in a field, most of the Sohma's were gathering. In a house, Tohru, Kagura and Kairi were getting ready.

"Looks like a good day to get hitched." said Kagura looking out the window.

"Yup. The sun's smiling." said Tohru.

"I thank-you both for being my bridesmaids. I owe you both." said Kairi.

"Now-now. It's the least we could do for you." replied Kagura.

"Thanks so much!" said Kairi as she bowed.

There was a knock on the door. Tohru opened the door.

"Oh...Akito." said Tohru as he stepped inside.

"If you don't mind, I would like to be alone with my sister." Akito said without looking at any of them.

"It's okay. I'll be fine, I'm almost ready." said Kairi as Kagura and Tohru looked at her. "Tell Kyo we'll be starting soon."

The girls nodded and left. Akito looked at Kairi. Her hair was in a bun with white chopsticks. She had lilies tied in with her bun. Her cheeks were pale pink and a clear gloss on her lips. She had a pale blue eye shadow on her eyes with silver. Akito looked away.

"Kairi, I know this is your day to shine. I don't want to ruin it for you." Akito said.

Kairi sighed and walked over to her brother. She put her hands on his face and turned his toward hers.

"Brother, you can not ruin this day. I'm happy that you're here to spend it with me. You being here to see me off, is the best gift you could ever give me."

Akito stared at Kairi. She was smiling. Akito sighed and Kairi removed her hands.

"You always know what to say. I wish I could be like you more." stated Akito as a small smile formed on his face.

"You're so sweet to me."

Akito reached into his pocket and pulled out a necklace.

"Brother..."

Akito put the necklace around Kairi's neck. It was made of white pearls.

"Brother..."

"Mother wore this necklace. Something old, something new and something borrowed. This is the something old. The something new is your earrings that Kyo bought for you. You're wearing Kagura's bracelet. I say you're covered."

Kairi smiled and nodded. There was another knock. The door opened and Tohru's head popped in.

"We're about to start." said Tohru.

"We'll be right out." replied Akito.

"Okay." Tohru said be she disappeared again.

"Ready?" Akito asked.

Kairi nodded and grabbed her flowers. They were lilies. Akito opened the door and Kairi pulled down her veil. She took Akito's arm and left the room.

"I guess life hands you more than you can handle...but isn't that what makes life so great..."

Akito walked Kairi down the aisle. Everyone stood up.

"I think...I'll take one step at a time...I won't look back unless I'm forced to. This is my life...no one else's. I will step forward into the light. I will accept my destiny as a cursed member of the Sohma family. But I have found love...and with him...I might...no...we will change the future."

Akito gave Kairi to Kyo. He took her hand and stared into her eyes.

"This is our destiny, our life. We are in control. No one, but ourselves can change that..."

"I pronouce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." said the preist.

Kyo leaned forward and kissed Kairi.

"Yes, this is our Destiny..."

"I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Kyo Sohma!"

Yuki kissed Tohru.

"I give you...Mr. and Mrs. Yuki Sohma!"

"This is our life...that future...we must shape together. For our children, ourselves most of all."

A year later...

Kairi and Tohru sat on Shigure's porch. Kyo and Yuki were in the yard playing with two babies. One with orange hair the other purple. Lillian sat beside her mother. She watched her father and Yuki.

"So Lillian, what do you think of your baby brother?" Kairi asked.

"I don't know. He's soo little!" replied Lillian.

"Give it time. You'll get to know each other soon. You have all the time in the world." stated Kairi.

She patted Lillian on the head.

"Yes, all the time in the world. To shape your own destiny and find love. After all...we all are children of the zodiac..."
