AN: I know that I left a lot of unanswered questions in this fic but I hope you can use your imaginations to figure that out 😉 Even though I got kind of bored of this fic, I'm glad that I finished it and I felt like I really owed you guys that instead of just abandoning it. Thank you for sticking with me during this fic and I hope you enjoyed it.

Chapter Ten – The End

Kyoko stood nervously outside of the prison, she wasn't sure what she was going to do when she saw Kuu-sama. She didn't know what kind of Kuu existed in this world, but she wanted to see a man who had inspired her and given her belief and support in her own world. She looked up to see Kuon meeting her, he had a somber expression on his face and was wearing formal clothing. Had she messed up by dressing so casually despite all of the designer clothes that had been hanging in her closet?

She looked at Kuon and gave a weak smile, "Thank you," she said honestly as he looked to her, a weak smile on her face. "Thank you for letting me see him, I know that this must be hard on you."

Kuon nodded, "It is hard, I'm not sure what good this will do but you seemed so sure of the connection that you made with my father in your world, or your other world…I'm not sure what to say," he said awkwardly as Kyoko nodded.

"I know, it's strange but Kuu-san was so happy in my world. I really hope that we can get him free and make him happy in this world. I heard that the audition went well, maybe you were born to follow in his footsteps," Kyoko said as Kuon looked down awkwardly.

It was true that he had been labeled as a phenomenal actor whilst he was trying out for the acting position at LME, but he was still uncertain because of what had happened here. He turned to her and frowned, he was going to ask her a question that had obviously been weighing on his mind quite a bit. "This is the last thing that you wanted to do?" he asked, "and then you're going to go back to the other Kuon?"

Kyoko nodded, "Yes, that's right," she said before looking at him, "but being with you has led me to have a lot more understanding for him. Sometimes the Kuon that I know is distant and hides things, even with the past you've had, you've been a lot more open."

Kuon smiled to her before nodding, "After you go back, do you think that I'll just stop existing or do you think that the true form of yourself will come back to this world?" he asked. "I mean…this world's Kyoko not the true one, if there are other worlds then I have to admit that there isn't a true form of anyone."

"I don't know," Kyoko sighed, "but if our paths ever cross again, can you promise that we'll be friends?" she asked. "Promise you won't run from me?"

"Okay," he nodded. "If that happens then we can be friends," he said before they entered the prison together.

….

….

Since at this time, the two of them had learned that Kuu was only allowed to have one visitor at a time, Kuon had gone to speak with his father first. Then it would be Kyoko's turn. Kyoko nervously waited for Kuon to come back. She wasn't sure what to say to Kuu and she wished that she had planned it out. Hopefully she would know exactly what to say when she was face to face with him.

"You can see him now," Kuon said as he came back to see her.

The guard who had escorted Kuon out came and took Kyoko back to the visiting spot. Kyoko sat opposite a more grizzled Kuu Hizuri and picked up the phone. "Hello," she said with a weak smile, "I know that you don't know me and I'm wondering what Kuon might have told you about me."

"Kuon's a really good person, he spoke about you favorably," Kuu replied. "He said your name is Kyoko and you are looking to be an actress from another universe," he shrugged. "I've heard worse."

Kyoko nodded, she looked down and had tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry, he was telling you the truth, but the version of you that I do know is still a famous actor and is known to be a very good person. Something like this should have never happened to you."

"And yet it did," Kuu nodded, "Though I don't oppose the acting world. There are bad people in it no matter what," he said, "in every profession you'll find corrupt individuals."

"I can believe that," Kyoko nodded as she felt really sad making eye contact with him. She didn't know how to free him from all of this, but maybe she could give him the same encouragement to pursue life as all versions of Kuon had done for her.

"So, young lady," Kuu said. "Why did you want to see me?"

"I wanted to thank you," Kyoko said quickly, "For giving me the inspiration and the courage to pursue acting no matter how difficult it sometimes is. I want to thank you, or any version of you, for showing me love and giving me strength. I wanted to apologize for doing this to this version of you. I wanted to thank you for showing me that it doesn't matter what my social or financial status is that there are things more important than being a princess or a rich young lady and that you have to believe in yourself."

"There's something else isn't there?" Kuu asked as he watched her and Kyoko felt her heart fill with love and she nodded.

"I wanted to thank you for bringing Kuon into the world. It doesn't matter what I have or who I am, it doesn't matter what kind of roles I'm offered or what kind of world I live in. Kuon is the most important part of my life and I am so thankful that I was given a chance to meet him, to love him. Thank you, for Kuon," she said before seeing a guard approaching her.

"I'm so sorry," he said as Kyoko felt herself tense up. "We've just determined your innocence or the courts have, you're being released," the guard said as Kyoko felt herself surrounded by a warm light and she felt water surround her with a bright sense of who she was and what was important.

….

….

As Kyoko woke up in the hospital with Kuon right beside her, she smiled at him. She knew that she had now recovered what was most important to her heart, her friends and family. She also fully understood how much she loved the man next to her. She understood that what had happened with Kuu was the final part of her story there but that hadn't been her fairytale, her fairytale was only at the beginning.

Things like princes and castles and magic might be fun, but they weren't anything compared to love and passion and a man who supported her dreams of becoming a top actress even if it did include revenge. He was so understanding and protective and would sacrifice anything for her.

Now it was time to focus on the waking world and that would take a while to figure out.

"Hey," she smiled to Kuon as she looked at him.

"Hey, you okay not being a rich young lady?" he asked as she sat and wrapped her arms around him.

"I am, it just depends on how you define a rich young lady," she said thinking that the love she felt was worth far more than any monetary value. "Plus," she teased, "I can just marry you in the future and share your wealth," she teased as Kuon continued to keep her in his arms.

"I'd love that," he grinned as he held her close.

Kyoko smiled. Finally she was back where she belonged. She would just rely on the magic that she had with Kuon in the future. This life with him was going to be just like a fairytale.
