Two years later...

*knock knock*

"Come in."

"Sorry to bother you, Sanguigno Decimo, but I'm here with the same suggestion I requested from before."

I sighed. "No, Ricardo. I already told you no, and it will stay that way."

He faked a smile. "Surely you're just kidding around, right?"

I sighed, and ran a hand through my hair. "I have a boyfriend, and I will not marry you for an alliance with your family."

He smirked. "Just because you're already taken doesn't mean you have to stay committed, Allison."

I narrowed my eyes. "Are you suggesting I break up with the man I love for an alliance?"

He growled. "Still a kid, Sanguigno Decimo."

I smiled, amused. "Did I ever say I wasn't one?"

He glared. "You should be more responsible and use this alliance for the good of the family, some teenage love shouldn't-"

"If you were actually thinking of that, you would've just requested an alliance without the marriage part, Ricardo."

He glared, and the door swung open.

The two of us turned at the silhouette at the door.

The figure's eyes narrowed. "Who was the one who demanded we break up, Omnivore?"

I blinked, and my eyes widened.

Ricardo narrowed his eyes. "Who the fuck are you?"

He smiled, amused. "Kyoya Hibari, Vongola Decimo's Cloud Guardian, and the omnivore's boyfriend. It certainly wasn't my plan to see a low mafia family boss hitting on one of my possessions."

Ricardo blinked, and then scowled. "Fine. You win for now, Sanguigno Decimo. But I won't give up yet."

He left, and pushed past Kyoya aggressively.

I blinked again, and took in the image of Kyoya's 18 year old self.

I felt my cheeks warm. "God... have these years been kind to you..." I muttered.

"Omnivore, you haven't visited in two years," he said, eyes still narrowed.

I blinked, and smiled awkwardly. "U-um, about that, you see, I was really busy with the family, and I couldn't find a proper time to visit you guys again, so I-"

"No matter. What matters now is that I'm taking you with me."

I blinked. "Eh?"

He walked over to me, and carried me bridal style.

I blinked rapidly, and then I glared. "H-hey! Kyoya! Let me down! This isn't funny-"

"I missed you, Omnivore," he muttered, his eyes averted.

I flushed, and my fists clenched.

"Stupid Kyoya... Why do you still do this to me...?"

I sighed, and averted my eyes. "...I missed you too."

He smiled, and I flushed more.

"H-hey! I know I missed Japan, but I still have to t-take care of my fami-"

"I already discussed this with your main guardians, so you don't need to worry about leaving without anyone knowing."

I blinked. "H-huh?"

He then walked out of my office, still carrying me bridal style, and I glared, my cheeks growing to a deeper red.

"S-still, just let me down! This is embarrassing!"

He smirked. "Hn. No."

"W-wha-"

He kissed me, and as he pulled away, he smirked. "Just stay quiet, Omnivore."

I glared, my cheeks never returning to its original state, and then I sighed and gave up.

"Ugh, fine. Fuck you, Kyoya."

He smiled amused. "...Maybe later."

My eyes widened, and I spluttered out a "S-SHUT UP!"

He smirked. "Still a kid, Omnivore."

"Shaddupshaddupshaddupshaddupshaddup!" I repeated over and over, covering my ears.

Many hours and flushed faces later, my face returned to its normal state, and we exited the plane at Japan.


"I'll be fine, Kyoya. I may have not lived here for awhile, but I still know my way around here."

"Hn. Alright then, Omnivore."

He walked away, and I sighed in relief.

"That flight was hell in its own way... Who knew Kyoya turned out to be so open with his feelings? Ugh, no matter, you have to visit places, Ally. Stay focused."


I knocked on the door, and waited.

"Ah, I wonder who it could be?" I heard a voice wonder aloud.

I grinned. Her voice hasn't changed...

"Hello-"

"NANA-SAN!"

She blinked, and then beamed. "I didn't recognize you at all, Ally-kun! My, you haven't visited in so long I forgot that you would change in these two years!"

"Nonsense, Nana-san. I look the same."

She smiled at me. "Nope, you've certainly changed, Ally-kun. Anyway, come in, come in! My, you should've told me of your visit earlier, I could've prepared something for you!"

I smiled sheepishly. "The visit wasn't necessarily planned by me either, so I couldn't tell you earlier..."

She nodded. "I see. Well, come in!"

I entered the Sawada household, and saw it exactly the same as two years ago except a few new things.

There were more picture frames on the walls and on the counters, and the whole house looked bright with spirit.

I smiled.

"...Alice-nee?"

I blinked, and turned at the voice.

"Lambo?"

He grinned. "It really is you, Alice-nee!"

I smiled. "You've certainly got non-bratty. Well, I guess that's a good sign then."

He pouted. "Hey!"

Lambo's hair was still considerably curly, but not to the point where it was an afro.

I ruffled his hair.

"Alice-san!"

I turned to the other voice, and met I-Pin. I smiled.

Her hair was down, and reached her shoulders. She had bangs, and she wore glasses.

"I almost didn't notice you two. Your appearances have changed!"

I-Pin smiled. "You too, Alice-san!"

"Everyone's saying that, but honestly, I don't see what changed!"

"You're right, Baka-Ally. You still seem the same to me."

I blinked. That voice... It sounds like him yet it doesn't have that pitchy squeak..

I blinked rapidly at the 14 year old Reborn. "R-Reborn?!"

He smirked. "Still Baka-Ally as always..."

I sighed. "It definitely is Reborn... I heard about the curse being lifted, but I didn't expect you to grow so quickly in so little time..."

His smirk grew. "That's because we Arcobaleno were previously adults, so our growing span is not the same as everyone else's."

I blinked. "Wow. So... where's Tsuna?"

"They're currently at school."

I nodded, and then a smirk grew. "If you're 14, wouldn't that mean you have to attend school too-"

He pinched my cheek.

"Ittettettette...!"

"I have no intentions of attending school with those brats."

I laughed awkwardly. "I... I gwet it... Now can you pwease wet go?"

He did, and smirked. "They're here."

"What-"

"I'm home, Okaa-san, meena!"

I turned at the 16 year old Tsuna, and grinned.

"Tuna! Haya! Tako!"

The three blinked at me, and then Takeshi grinned.

"Nee-chan!"

"...Nee-san?"

I hugged the three now high schoolers and pulled away with a smile.

Tsuna blinked, and then realization dawned on his face and he started to sulk in a corner.

"Tsuna?"

"...Nee-san's taller than me..."

I blinked. "Hm? Oh, yeah, I had my growth spurt a year back. So you can't tease me about being really short anymore!"

"Eh? But I'm still taller than you, Nee-chan. Same with Gokudera."

I darkened, and I turned to Takeshi with a fake smile. "Would you like to repeat that, Takeshi?"

He blinked, and gave a nervous smile. "'Course not..."

I grinned. "Good! Anyway, you two look the same, with the exception of Tsuna. I'll say that Reborn's torturous training paid off! I'm glad you were true to your word, Reborn."

He smirked. "Of course. Torturing Tsuna was my pleasure. Still is."

Tsuna sighed. "Why is my life like this..."

"It's alright, Jyuudaime! I'll make sure to help you out as your right-hand man in any way I can!"

I smiled. "Meanwhile, Hayato is still true to his dog-like actions..."

"A-aniki!"

"-And Takeshi is less oblivious. That's good, that's good..."

"Hey! Nee-chan!"

I grinned.

"Ano... Nee-san?"

"Yeah, Tsuna?"

"Have you visited Hibari-san yet?"

. . .

I flushed, and smiled awkwardly. "A-about that, he um... aha... uh..."

"Didn't you know, Dame-Tsuna? Hibari's the one that dragged her here to Japan."

"E-eh? Really? ...O-oh..." 'Did Hibari-san actually drag her here? I can't tell, Hibari-san is a little extreme after all...' was practically what was written on Tsuna's mortified face.

"U-um, a-anyway, I- I'll see you guys later! I have somewhere to head to, and-"

Reborn smirked. "Going to visit Hibari now, Ally?"

"I-I'm not! Geez! Why don't any of you get it...?"

"It's because you're hopelessly in love with that guy, right, Aniki?"

I blinked, and was about to protest but stopped myself. I smiled instead. "I guess I am.

"Speaking of which, I almost forgot to ask.

"Hayato, how's it with Haru? And Tsuna, how's it with Kyoko?"

The mentioned two teens blushed, and they both protested, "W-what are you talking about?!"

I laughed.


I opened the door, and poked my head through it.

"Welcome-"

He blinked repeatedly. "U-um, excuse me, are you alright?"

I smiled. "Didja forget who I was, Tanaka?"

He blinked, and then realization dawned on his face. "A-Alice!"

I grinned. "Yo."

"How long has it been? You've changed!"

I entered the restaurant, and tilted my head. "Where's Oyaji?"

"Ah, Boss? He's in the kitchen."

"Perfect. It was nice seeing you again."

"Yeah..."

I entered the kitchen, and grinned. "OYAJI!"

He jumped, and sighed, exasperated. "Don't scare me like that..."

He turned around, and grinned. "A-Ally! What a surprise! How long has it been? You've changed since then!"

"It's been two years, Oyaji. I can't possibly have changed."

"Well, it's either you changed or that suit makes you look more older."

I grinned. "Who knows? Maybe, aha!"

"How long are you staying here?"

"Hmm... depends. How busy are you this week?"

"Ah, it's Christmas season, so I guess we'll be pretty busy."

I nodded. "I see. Then I'll be staying this for this whole week."

He blinked. "You are?"

I grinned. "Oyaji, you can't forget. I used to work here at Takesushi, and I was indebted to you for letting such a youngster work here. It's time for me to pay you back. I'll help you out this whole week."

He grinned. "Arigato, Ally."

I shook my head. "Mm, thank you, Oyaji. Working at Takesushi... it started out everything. I would've never became the Sanguigno Decimo, I would've never met Takeshi, Tsuna, and the others. I wouldn't have had such a great family waiting for me in Japan. So... arigato, Oyaji."

He smiled, and put his hand on my shoulder. "You can't give me all the credit. I would've kicked you out sooner if I was just doing a simple favor for my sister-in-law. You truly are a great sushi chef, Ally. Too bad you became the Sanguigno Decimo."

I laughed. "I guess, huh?"

Oyaji threw the Takesushi uniform, and I caught it.

"Go change, Ally. You're starting work today. Your skills might be rusty."

I smirked. "Is that a challenge, old man?"

He laughed. "I'm still young, you never know, youngster."

I smiled, and laughed.

I stared out the window at the sky with a satisfied smile.

If you had still kept me in the Sanguigno family, I would've never been the person I am today, Okaa-san. Sure, I would've been the Sanguigno Decimo eventually, but I wouldn't be the same boss I am right now.

I'm who I am right now because you allowed me to have a taste of civilian life while working at Takesushi.

Although I never got to meet you, I've always wanted to say this.

Thank you.

The End.

Jk. I'll write an epilogue for you guys, don't worry.


A/N: Did I end it well? I'm not even sure anymore, I tried my hardest to end it in the best way I can. But really, though this chapter is called Thank you because those are the last two words, thank you all for supporting this story to the end, everyone.

I seriously wouldn't have got through this without you all.

Thank you thank you thank you so much! Thank you.

And, well, I will write an epilogue.

I first started out this story on a whim, I had a sudden idea of what would happen if a story was told in the POV of a worker at Takesushi. Then, with all you guys supporting this story, it turned into something more, and I wanted to update more frequently. I looked forward to writing the new chapters.

I truly enjoyed writing this story, and I hope you all enjoyed reading it too.

I will write an epilogue. No, this was not an epilogue. But it could've had I been tired of this story.

But what's important is that I give all my thanks to you guys, you readers out there.

I mean, this story got a total of 17k views! That's an insanely huge number, you know? And all the reviews you guys gave me always made my day a lot better, and I always reread the reviews.

So, for the last time, or maybe not, thank you all.

Thank you so much for sticking with me, for sticking with Nee-san and Hibari-san, for sticking with this whole plot.

(I'm truly sorry for not mentioning Enma, I'll mention him and his guardians in the epilogue, do not worry. XD)

Btw, since Christmas is actually coming up in the US, I'm going to write a Christmas Special, and then the Epilogue.

So look forward to two last chapters, everyone.

Truly grateful for you all,

Ally.
