Takumi woke up the next morning and opened his eyes to the sight of a beautiful girl in front of him. He weakly smiled and pulled her in tighter as she snuggled closer leaving no room for air between them. He remembered the text Ichirou had sent and tensed his arms around her. He wasn't going to let her get away ever again.
Misaki slowly lifted her heavy eyes and peaked at the surroundings. She flinched as soon as she realized the position they were in. Misaki jumped up ripping herself from his embrace.
"W-WHAT WERE YOU DOING?!" she stammered.
Takumi sat up in bed looking at her tiredly. His hair was a in a gigantic messy ball. Misaki slightly blushed and cursed at how cute he looked right then and there.
"Only doing what you were doing to me, Misa-Chan," he teased.
"I-..."
"So, have you choosen me?" Takumi asked as if he had never known the text Ichirou sent even exsisted.
Misaki looked at him questionably before crawling up next to him and sat herself into his lap and layed her body on his broad chest.
"D-Does that answer your question?" she asked nervously.
Takumi grinned at her and took her into his arms and held her close for awhile before breaking the peaceful air.
"Misaki...what exactly did you do with Ichirou. I want to know everything."
Just thinking about what could have developed between them while he was gone made his gut twist furiously.
"Nothing really...just kissed and held hands."
Takumi had his lips pressed against hers in moments. It was the first kiss they had in two years, but it still felt the same. Full of passion and love. Misaki reluctantly pulled away due to lack of oxygen. Her face was a flaming red, and Takumi smiled widely at her.
The next few weeks flew by in a rush. Kako no Koe's first album was released a few weeks after Ichirou and Misaki broke up leaving their fans heart broken. Their broken hearts changed when the full story was published in the news. Lost love and finding it again. Misaki and Ichirou had trouble talking at first, but they got used to it.
Takumi and Misaki couldn't talk much throughout this time because they were both very busy, but Misaki understood.
Ichirou and Misaki had decided to create a song together that displayed their feelings for their lovers in spare time. Takumi and Rebecca wouldn't hear it, however, until the ablum was released. It was the only mysterious track on the CD titled in English, "Voice of The Past."
Ichirou was the one to suggest that they should use English in the song since it is Takumi and Rebecca's native language. He wanted Misaki to sing the English parts even though he could speak English. Singing the language was a whole new level for him.
They worked endless nights trying to figure out the right phrases to use. But when it was finished, they were pretty happy with it.
Takumi and Rebecca were the first to buy the album and they listened to it together in the castle, and the CD was finally coming to the last track. The first line almost killed Takumi when he heard the heart break and sadness it held in that one sentence.
Misaki:
Are you there?
It's really lonely without you here.
You left me alone in the end
But then I see your face
And I want you again
Ichirou:
Soko ni imasu ka? (Are you there?)
Watashi ni chikadzuku (Get closer to me)
Watashi ni modotte kuru (Come back to me)
Watashi wa anata o hitsuyou to iru (I need you)
Kimi ga hoshii (I want you)
Both:
Watashi wa anata o mitsuketa (I've found you)
Watashitachi wa onaji kimochi o motte iru (We have the same feelings)
Watashi wa mada anata o aishiteimasu (I still love you)
Anata wa mada watashi o aishite (You still love me)
Watashi wa anata to yarinao shitai (I want to start over with you)
Watashi wa futatabi anata o hoji shitai (I want to hold you again)
Rebecca and Takumi listened to every line Misaki and Ichirou sang as if it would somehow save their lives someday. Rebecca was on the verge of tears when the song had started to end. Takumi's face was emotionless, but his eyes shined with understanding.
Misaki:
You're holding me tightly
I'll never forget how this moment feels
To have you belong with me
To have you with me
Both:
Watashi no jinsei no subete ga henkou sa remashita (All of my life has changed)
Anata wa kako no koe datte (You were the voice of the past)
Ima, anata wa mirai no koe dearu (Now, you are the voice of the future)
When the song ended, Takumi went to find Misaki. He needed to see her.
He found her in her hotel room alone. Ichirou and Kazuki had gone out for a day of congradulation on the new album being finished.
Misaki had opened the door only to be surprised and smushed by Takumi's deathly tight hug. After hearing the song, he had never felt more regret and stupidity in his life time. He was going to start making up for it in any way possible.
"W-What are you doing you idiot?!" Misaki screamed as she tried to break away from him.
"Misaki, I'm sorry. I know we haven't been able to talk recently because we've been busy, but I want to have a proper conversation about everything."
"Ok..."
She lead him to the couch and offered tea before they began talking.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" Misaki asked to end the silence.
"I know I've said sorry, but I want to make sure that you absolutly understand."
"You've said it so many times it's annoying," Misaki grumbled but was otherwise happy.
Takumi removed himself from the couch and kneeled down in front of Misaki who was staring at him in confusion.
"Misaki, I know this is soon...but I want to dedicate my entire life to you. To make up for lost time and much more. You are the love of my life and my everything. I screwed up, but I now know it was stupid of me."
"T-Takumi...what are you-"
"Misaki, I want you to be Usui Misaki."
Misaki's words caught in her throat. She wanted nothing more than to say yes, but he was a married man. She wasn't that type of girl.
"Wh-what about Rebecca?"
"I signed the divorce papers two days ago. We are no longer legally married. I want to have a true wedding in which you are the one walking down the aisle to me in a white dress towards me," Takumi blushed.
Misaki fell into his arms and hugged his neck as she burried her face into his shoudler.
"Is that a no?" He asked even though he was sure of her answer now.
"No! I mean- not like- ahg, yes! Takumi, yes!"
They had their wedding a few months later outside in the falling leaves presence. Takumi almost bent over when he saw Misaki walking down the aisle so perfectly where she was destined to walk since birth. He couldn't have smiled bigger when she said I do and gave him a kiss on the lips that sealed their marriage.
In the years to come, Kako no Koe had become one of the most famous bands in the world, and Misaki and Takumi had one handsome son and two beautiful daughters.
Ichirou and Rebecca had two sons of their own and often the Usui and Takahashi children played with eachother.
Misaki now sat on the balcony of her and Usui's fairly large house enjoying the view. Her life had changed drastically since the beginning of her singing career: moving from country to country, getting married, having kids, and becoming famous.
She heard footsteps beside her and looked up. Takumi was by her side. She leaned into him and let him carress the hair around her neck. He was all she ever really needed. The voice in her future.
