Here's the final chapter of Love and Ambition, and I'm both relieved and sad as I end this story. I've got to say, it's been fun and I really enjoyed writing this story. I like to thank everyone who reviewed and I hope you enjoyed this story and please review.

Chapter 20: Happily Ever After

It was almost the last day of school. Summer had arrived and all the students were anxious to escape and have the time of their lives. The host club was busy preparing for the end of the year party that would take place after school on the last day. Everyone was excited, well…almost everyone.

Hikaru and Kaoru seemed to be in a daze for the past few days. It was as if they weren't even the Hitachiin twins; like they were two different people who looked like them. They weren't as enthusiastic as they had been since the beginning of the year. Each of the members of the host club noticed the sudden change in them but decided not to mention the reason for their behavior.

"We have to do something about the twins," Tamaki whispered to Kyoya.

"What do you expect me to do?" Kyoya asked, still typing on his laptop.

"I don't know you're the one who is supposed to know! They keep moping around and people are starting to notice," Tamaki said. He began to shake Haruhi back and forth, "Haruhi, daddy is not happy, do something about those two!"

"What do you want me to do?" Haruhi asked, in between shakes.

"Tamaki, guess what, guess what!" Hunny said, running inside the third music room. "We have important news!"

"What could possibly be so important?" Kyoya asked, interested.

"It has to do with the twins," Mori said. "All of the twins, including Yuna and Sakura."

xXxXxXxXxXx

"Hikaru," Kaoru said outside of the school, heading toward the mail box. "I miss them."

"Yeah," Hikaru sighed. "Same here, but hey, we got a letter from them."

Dear Hikaru and Kaoru,

Hi you guys, how have things been? Things suck here of course and I miss Sakura, and you guys too! This school is already out so ha! My dad is still being a pain in the butt and I have half a mind to use my awesome ninja skills and kick his butt! I don't care if it's not ladylike I'm doing it! Mwuahahaha! So anyways I miss you guys a lot and don't worry you'll get more letters from me, it's like I never even left.

Missing you guys every nanosecond, Yuna

P.S. Hey Hikaru, what's your favorite shade of blue?

"That was weird," Kaoru commented.

"Why does she want to know my favorite shade of blue?" Hikaru wondered. "Well here's another letter."

Dear Hikaru and Kaoru,

I hate it here; I wish I was with you guys. There are absolutely no books here to read! I'm going to die of boredom pretty soon; the only good thing about here is I'm far away from my father. But his servants are babysitting me so much, well they're nice but I'm sixteen! I can do some things by myself! But enough of my rambling, how are you guys? Hope you didn't get into too much trouble; you're suppose to do that with me and Yuna!

Lots of love, Sakura

P.S. Kaoru, I heard about the dance you guys are going to host. Wear a black tuxedo I've always wanted to see you in it.

"That was weird too," Hikaru said.

"Oh not really," Kaoru said rereading the letter. "Haruhi told me she was going to take pictures of us and send them to Yuna and Sakura."

"Well we better get going," Hikaru said. "We don't want milord to have a heart attack."

Kaoru laughed a little bit, "Yeah let's get going." They put the letters in their pockets and headed back toward the third music room.

xXxXxXxXxXx

The bell had finally rung, school was officially over and summer had come at last. The host club was outside in the school garden the whole morning preparing for the end of the year party. Students rushed home to get dressed in their formal attire and be ready for the party at four o'clock. This gave the host club more time to get ready.

"Cheer up Hikaru, Kaoru," Tamaki said. "This will be a fun party!"

"Sure," Hikaru muttered.

"Whatever you say," Kaoru sighed.

After an hour the host club was ready and rushed to fit into their suits. When they stepped outside to reenter the school garden students were already coming in with their dates. Each of the host club welcomed everyone warmly and enjoyed the festivities.

"Cake…!" Hunny said excitingly rushing toward the food table.

Haruhi took a bite of something, "Delicious…." She ate more.

Everyone, except the twins, was dancing with some of the girls. Hikaru and Kaoru sat on some chairs near the cherry blossom trees and looked at everyone enjoying the party. Both of them sighed, wishing they could enjoy what was going on too. But they couldn't enjoy the festivities without the people they love.

xXxXxXxXxXx

Kaoru got up to walk by a cherry blossom to admire the view. Hikaru spaced out not noticing someone took a seat next to him. "Is this seat taken?" the person asked.

"No," Hikaru said mindlessly. "You know, you sound like this girl I use to know."

"Really?" she asked surprised. "Maybe because I am her you idiot, hello, earth to Hikaru, it's time to land the mother ship!"

"You can't be Yuna," he laughed quietly. "She's in China; this must be my mind playing tricks on me!"

"If I'm in China I couldn't do this!" she punched him in the arm and then kissed him on the cheek.

"Ouch," Hikaru laughed. "You still hit hard, Yuna, you're here!"

"That's what I was trying to tell you this whole time!" she rolled her eyes.

"Wow," he breathed. "You look amazing in that blue dress, and it's my favorite shade too!"

"Thanks," she blushed. "Glad you like it, that's why I asked you about the color thing earlier."

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" Hikaru asked.

"Well that's not fun," Yuna said, pretending to pout. "Isn't life better with surprises just around the corner?"

"Well it doesn't matter, all I care is that you're back," he smiled and leaned in to kiss her.

"Yeah, it's good to be back," she smiled.

xXxXxXxXxXx

Kaoru stared at the cherry blossom, remembering the time he was with Sakura. He sighed, remembering the memory. He felt someone's presence next to his side. "You know cherry blossom petals are probably the second most beautiful thing in the world; the first is the person named after it," he smiled softly. He turned toward the person next to him; she smiled and hugged him.

"You're way too sweet," she hugged him even tighter.

"Sakura I missed you," he said, taking her by the hand. "And…your hair is down!"

"Oh ha you're right," she said. "Crazy isn't it? I feel so…naked without my hair tie, ugh!"

He played with her hair. "I like it, it's cute."

"Yeah don't count on ever seeing it again," she laughed. "You look good in the suit by the way."

"Well of course it's me," he grinned at her. His eyes grew soft, "I kind of can't believe you're here, it's like a dream."

"Time to wake up then," she kissed him.

"So, ready to dance, or did you not learn to dance at all while in China?" he teased.

"No I still can't dance," she stuck her tongue out at him. "But I do owe you an explanation about how I'm back."

"I've got all the time in the world, from now until forever," he said.

"I was hoping you would say that," she smiled up at him. "And I bet the host club will be running up to both me and Yuna in about 3…2…1…"

"Yun-chan, Saku-chan," Hunny called out excitingly.

"May I escort you to go see everyone else?" he smiled, putting his arm around her waist.

"You may," she giggled, smiling at Kaoru warmly.

xXxXxXxXxXx

"When did you get back?"

"How come you guys aren't in China anymore?"

"…?"

"This doesn't make sense, Kyoya, why aren't they in China?"

"This doesn't seem to add up."

"Don't ever make us worry like that ever again!"

"Yeah, you had us sad this entire week! It was a long two days!"

"Hold on, way too many questions!" Yuna and Sakura said simultaneously. "One at a time, please!"

"Why aren't you guys in China?!" everyone exclaimed.

"Start from the beginning," Tamaki added.

"Well it all started on a beautiful June day, June 16th to be exact. Instead of admiring the flawless weather, my mother was inside the hospital, screaming her guts out. Something about it being too painful…" Sakura said, almost dreamily.

"Not that far," Tamaki complained, but secretly he missed this about Sakura.

"Oh well here's a funny thing," Yuna said. "We really didn't take into account one factor."

"And what's that?!" everyone shouted.

"Time," Sakura said mysteriously.

Flashback….

Yuna sat in her chair, bored. The plane was being delayed and had not taken off yet. She looked out the window to see that Sakura's plane had not taken off yet either. She saw Sakura's face near the window and waved, she waved back. They looked at each other intensely, as if they were talking to each other through their mind.

Both stared at one another and almost simultaneously each of their faces lit up as if they had an idea. Yuna started to get her things when a flight attendant in her twenties stopped her, "Excuse me ma'am, we cannot let passengers get up yet," she said.

"Hey you look familiar," Yuna said. "Do you happen to work for my father?"

"As a matter of fact I do," she said. "And your father paid me to baby sit you, so sit down and stay in your seat! And enjoy your flight."

"Well you can tell my dad he can go to hell!" she smiled and grabbed her bags.

"Get back here now you little brat!" the flight attendant said, chasing after Yuna.

"Bring it on old hag!" she smiled, determined.

End Flashback…

"It was awesome, the old woman has got some great fighting move," Yuna smiled. "But I won, so I got off the plane and met up with Sakura."

"Sakura, how did you get off the plane then?" Haruhi asked.

"I asked the pilot if I could," she said simply. "I didn't have to resort to violence like some people."

"Hey it was fun," she snickered.

"So we got to a telephone booth and called our father," Sakura said. "And we had a little deal of our own."

Flashback…

"Hello you stupid old middle-aged bas—

"Yuna I'll take it from here," Sakura said and took the phone from her sister. "You didn't win the bet, we did."

"I have no idea what you are talking about," he said furiously on the phone.

"Oh I found true love," Sakura said triumphantly, thinking about what Kaoru was saying right before she left.

Yuna took the phone from her sister, "And I just had an adventure too! Had to bypass an evil witch and knocked the breath out of her, and escape from the plane. Besides, I've had plenty of adventures with the host club, so in your face!"

"What are you two talking about, it's too late, it's already your birthday!" he said.

"Well if you were a good father," Yuna said, rolling her eyes.

"You would remember the time we were born," Sakura finished. "It's not our birthdays yet."

"W-what?!" he stuttered.

"We were born at 11:11 p.m." Yuna smirked. "You know the magical time where you make a wish at night. Yeah that's right, night, you old goat!"

"And if you could tell time, it's obviously not that time yet," Sakura grinned at her sister. "So since it's technically not our birthdays, we still had time to find what we were looking for."

"And since we did, and we found it in the time limit you specifically asked," Yuna paused dramatically. "We win. You lose."

"I am your father, and what are you going to do about school? You don't the money," he said angrily.

"Oh contraire," Yuna laughed.

"Right before you dragged us," Sakura emphasized the world 'dragged.' "We saw a will of mother's that you may have accidentally dropped."

"How dare you keep that away from us," Yuna yelled into the phone. "You lying as—

Sakura took the phone from Yuna again, "And it says she left her fortune to us, not you."

"You can't do this to me, I'm your father!" he said, now outraged.

"You were never a father to us," Yuna said.

"And you never will be," Sakura finished. "Have a good life."

"Yeah, and good luck in hell, you're going to need it," Yuna slamming the phone and high-five her sister.

End Flashback….

"Wow," Hikaru smiled. "Well I can't expect anything less from you, Yuna."

"So you guys are here to stay for good?" Kaoru asked.

"Yeah," Sakura said, smiling at everyone.

"We're here for good!" Yuna cheered.

"Okay then," Kyoya smiled. "Let's get this party really started then."

Everyone was now enjoying the festivities. Hikaru was dancing with Yuna, "This is one the best days of my life," he said a little embarrassed while they were dancing.

"Me too," she smiled brightly. "I'm glad I met you."

"Same here," he kissed her.

Somewhere else Kaoru and Sakura were dancing slowly underneath a cherry blossom tree. "Hey you got better," he teased. "Dance with anyone else while you were at China?"

"Yeah right," Sakura rolled her eyes. "It's because I have a great teacher."

"Of course," he laughed.

"You know I'm kind of surprised," Sakura said.

"About what, what could possibly take you by surprise after all you have been through?"

"I got my happily ever after, and it doesn't seem real, like this all just a dream."

"Well your prince took a wrong turn and went through a detour," he smiled. "But hey, I asked directions and found you."

"You are so cheesy sometimes," she smiled. "But I love it."

"And I love you," he kissed as they continue to dance.

Near the end of the day everyone left but Hikaru and Yuna and Kaoru and Sakura remained and kept dancing. As they passed each other dancing, Yuna and Sakura smiled at each other glad they attended Ouran Academy. The were glad at all the friends they made, glad that they fell in love with Hikaru and Kaoru, and most of all, they were glad that things turned out for the best, and they all lived happily ever after.
