Sometimes It Be That Way

Epilogue

"That girl was a terrible actor! She looked like she was laughing, not screaming! And why did it end like that? That wasn't how the other one started…" Kyou trailed off breaking contact with Haru's gray eyes and staring thoughtfully ahead of them.

Haru chuckled as Kyou tried to dissect the movie they had just seen. "But kitten, that movie was done long before Army of Darkness, you just have to let the details slide." Putting his hand on Kyou's back, he urged the neko along with him. Letting the hand slip to the neko's rear, he gave a brief squeeze of one firm cheek. Kyou blushed at the fondling but didn't protest it. "Besides, plots were made to be messed with, natural transition you know."

Kyou leveled his eyes at this explanation and slid an arm under the ushi's jacket around Haru's waist. "Whatever." He conceded.

One year, Kyou thought, he had been with the ushi for a whole year, and he never could have imagined that his life would have turned out this good. He let his thoughts stray to the longing gazes he had seen come from Yuki's direction; they had made his skin crawl. Recently, the nezumi and Kagura had been seen together more often than not. Kyou wondered how that had happened, but it didn't really matter since they had stopped staring at him, they both needed to get on with their lives.

He stopped thinking about the two and turned his crimson eyes on his lover. The ushi had a soft smile tugging at his lips; his hazy gray eyes were closed as they walked. Kyou couldn't help but grin as he entertained the thought that Haru was like an angel, his own personal avenging angel. His graduation had come and passed, and there had been no fear of being put in that house for the rest of his existence. All he had to think about now was his future, maybe college or a job? He did want to get Haru and himself out of Shigure's house so they didn't have to deal with the inu's devious activities with that
video camera anymore.

Kyou scanned his eyes out to the clear night sky above them, letting his face drop to Haru's shoulder. "Kitten?" Haru said looking down into Kyou's eyes with a thoughtful expression. The two stopped walking, Kyou blinked at the look on Haru's face.

Detaching himself from Kyou, Haru got down on one knee before him. Kyou wondered what the ushi was doing, until Haru pulled a small box from his jacket pocket. Kyou felt his eyes widen as he realized exactly what Haru was about to do.

Hope and worry was apparent in the gray eyes that bore directly into his, "Will you marry me?" Red eyes panned wondrously to the simple silver ring Haru held out to him.

Kyou brushed the tears that were falling over his cheeks away with the back of his hand before wrapping his arms around the ushi's neck and whispering into the ear next to his mouth, "Y-yes."

Arms held him tight for a moment before Haru let him go to slip the ring over his finger and kiss him thoroughly. A camera flashed to their right and the couple snapped their eyes on the two girls that had interrupted their moment. Those two again, Kyou and Haru thought to themselves.

"Omedetou!" The two girls cheered, clapping with tears of their own streaming down their smiling faces.

Haru laughed softly, shaking his head at the two. The two girls swooned on the spot when this time, Kyou smiled at them.

The girl with the camera couldn't help but think; it was a happy ending.
