(A.N.)
So, yeah. This is the last chapter and it's a bit longer. However, after this, I'm gonna work on my Vocaloid fic. But, I love KnT as well. *smiles* And oh. Thanks for those who reviewed, okay? I really really really appreciate them. *thumbs up*

On the other hand.
Chizu and Ayane were just standing there, a few meters from Miaka, who was also doing the same thing. Yet, Chizu was the one who didn't stand the silence.
"You slut!" Chizu charged herself towards Miaka, who was just about to put her glasses on after what she did to Kazehaya. The sight of angry Chizu didn't seem to bother her.
"Chizu! Don't-!" Ayane shouted, trying to reach Chizu. However,
Slap.
…
Thud.
..
"Stop it, Chizu!" Ayane wrapped her arms around Chizu's to restrain her from any more movement. Chizu's slap made Miaka fall to her knees, her cheek red, her glasses lying so lifelessly beside her.
"She was just tricking us, Yano-chin!" Chizu jerked away from Ayane's hold and went towards Miaka again,
"She made friends with us, but just for Kazehaya!"
But, Ayane caught up with her once more.
"No she's not!" Ayane pointed out to Chizu, gripping her wrist.
"She's a slut! Doesn't she know that Sawako loves Kazehaya more than she did with him?" Chizu struggled to get awyay from Ayane and the sight of Miaka just burned her eyes.
"Chizu, stop it! She's not-"
"I don't care!" impatiently, Chizu snapped at Ayane's persistence and went towards Miaka again.
"I can't forgive anyone who hurts Sawako!" She didn't understand why her best friend was defending this 'traitor', at all. It was just..too confusing. Miaka's face was lowered, some of her long hair covering her face. Chizu stared at Miaka in blank anger.
"She told me she was willing to put Sawako and Kazehaya closer." Ayane spoke up, once again. And yet, this time, Chizu halted.
...
"What?" Chizu mouthed, finally calming down. Miaka slumped down on the floor, sighing deeply in relief.
"She told me all about this last night, Chizu." Ayane informed her. She went towards Miaka, helping her stand while picking up her glasses.
"Sawako and Kazehaya are going to be just fine."
Ayane looked as Miaka held her nose, small drops of fresh blood prickling through her fingers.
"Oh, dear." Miaka mumbled as she got her handkerchief and wiped off the blood. She tilted her head up a bit.
"You okay?" Ayane asked while Miaka slowly nodded her head.
...
"I-I'm s-sorry.." Chizu muttered out, her hands shaking because of guilt.
"I d-didn't know a-anything.."
"It's alright, Chizu-chan." Miaka smiled at Chizu, who, on the other hand, couldn't hold back her tears any longer. "I'M SO SORRY~!" Chizu hugged Miaka abruptly, her tears exploding all over.
"I EVEN MADE YOUR NOSE BLEED! WAAA~!"
"It's okay. It's okay." Miaka comforted Chizu, hugging her back, smiling at her cry-baby self while trying not to get her nose crushed.
"You sure? Didn't I bruise your cheek or something?" Chizu sniffed in her tears as she held Miaka's face and looked for any injuries. Chizu's brunette friend chuckled, shaking her head.
"Nothing major, Chizu-chan."
"Thank goodness." Chizu hugged her once more.
..
"I'm glad that went off without much trouble." Ayane herself smiled as she sighed in relief.
.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.
"Oh. You're back." Ayane turned to the two couple,
"Is everything alright?"
"Yeah," Kazehaya scratched the back of his neck.
"I just want to clear something.." Sawako spoke and it's like the world just stopped and listened.
"Miaka. You are not allowed to do that again. Because Kazehaya's my boyfriend now."
"Oh please. I know my boundaries." Miaka wiped off the blood that stained her hands and sat on someone's chair.
"So don't worry about it."
"What happened?" Kazehaya asked, noticing the blood.
"Nothing." Miaka immediately answered, avoiding the topic.
"Anymore clarifications, Sawako-chan?"
"U-Uhh," Sawako mumbled,
"I think that's-"
"I have one." Kazehaya stated, determined to clarify everything.
"I'm open." Miaka looked at him, crossing her arms on her chest.
"Why did you do this?"
Miaka sighed,
"I wanted to see how your love story goes. I'm just here because of that."
"But what about the actress thing?" Chizu asked, also eager to know.
"Actress?" Miaka raised a brow and chuckled.
"I'm not an actress, heck no. I'm an author."
..
"So that explains it.." Sawako murmured, conclusions continuously popping up from her head.
"Wait. Does that mean that..?"
"Yes. My next book is your story." Miaka smiled at the lovebirds.
"Thank you Miaka-chan!" Sawako immediately bowed in respect.
"Oh, no. No need to do that." Miaka smiled once again, waving her hands in front of her.
"Hey, Yano-chin."
"Yeah?"
"Don't tell me you knew all these before."
"Yeah. I do."
"WHAT? You didn't even tell me~"
"But I still don't think you needed to do that to Kazehaya." Ayane scolded Miaka.
"You didn't know that part?" Chizu asked.
"No. She just kept it to herself." Ayane shrugged.
"Well," Miaka wondered for herself.
"A good story doesn't come easy right?" she wiped her glasses with the end of her skirt.
"But. Isn't it just rude to do that?" Ayane asked, for the last time.
"I—We didn't do anything deep, Ayane-chan." she placed on her eyeglasses and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"And besides," she gazed away towards the mirror, watching the sky slowly change into orange.
"I already have my eyes on somebody else."
.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.
"Miaka Jane Evans has just transferred out yesterday." Class 2-D's homeroom teacher looked at his handwritten note,
"And she bids all her friends farewell."
.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.
"Do you think she'll mail us back?" Sawako and the others stared into Ryu's computer monitor, the typing signal blinking as if it's telling them to type something already.
"Of course she will." Ayane smiled assuringly.
"She types down something all the time, anyway."
.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.
"Miaka."
"Yes, Father?"
Her father smiled.
"What color binding would you want?"
"Oh, come on, Father." Miaka pushed back her chair from her monitor and looked at him.
"I can decide that for myself. Or can't I?"
"Well, I'm just suggesting." her Father smiled, placing down the samples on her desk.
"Thanks, Father."
.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.
"Miaka-chan!"
"Hey, take it easy." Miaka smiled at them,
"I did promise that I would give them to you personally, right?" The book club members nodded their heads in response.
"So, here you go." Miaka handed out a book to each member. And they just can't help but scream, in delight.
"I can't believe this!"
"Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh!"
"Thank you, Miaka-chan!" they all said in chorus.
"You're welcome." she smiled as she turned around and began to walk away.
"I thought you were gone already."
"I was. I just dropped by."
"Oh."
"Take care of yourself, hmm?"
"Yeah. I will."
"Oh. Wait. I almost forgot." Miaka stopped walking and looked at him.
"What is it?"
"This is for you and her." Miaka smiled.
.^.^.^.^.^.^.^.
"Wow."
"Is this really it?"
"Yeah, I think so." Sawako held the book in awe. She flipped the velvet colored hard cover and saw the title, "Endless Horizon."
"Beautiful." Sawako mumbled, turning the next page.
'For Shota Kazehaya and Sawako Kuronuma; May your love for each other last forever.'
- The End.
