I can't thank all of you enough who have reviewed, alerted, and faved my very first fanfic. I never would've imagined it receiving 100 reviews. I just wanted to write a fanfic about an idea that wouldn't stop bothering me in my head. So thank you everyone, you all have really made my day. Oh, I almost forgot, Happy 1 year anniversary! Here it is, like I said I would, an epilogue to my fanfic, Kickin' It Yuki The Akita Inu.


Terra's Pov

"And that is the story of how my mom and dad got together, and more importantly, the story of how one little pup can change your perspective about many things," I said, finishing my story. It was an assignment that the teacher gave us. We had to research about old stories that were true or legends. I didn't want to do my assignment on one of the many other things my classmates were, and asked my parents for help. They told me about this story of theirs that changed their lives forever. They called it, 'Yuki the Akita Inu'.

"Thank you Terra, for that interesting and fascinating story," Teacher said. "You may be seated now."

Once I was seated, my teacher began to explain how she was going to give us our marks for our assignments tomorrow, but I wasn't really paying attention after that. My mind was to busy thinking about mom and dad's story. I wish I could've met Yuki, Cole and all of their pups. I began to wonder if Jason's parents told him about this story too. After all Aunt Lyna and Uncle Rudy were there with mom and dad at that time. I guess I'll have to ask him later since we were in different classes, Jason being in 7th grade while I'm here in 6th. Lucky for me, the bell rang and everyone quickly got up and made their way out of the building.

When I was outside in front of the school, I was looking all over for Jason. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I quickly spun around, knocking the person's hand off of my shoulder. It's a good thing my dad was a sensei at the local dojo. As I backed up a good distance, I realized that it was Jason who had snuck up on me.

"You know not to sneak up on me right? I could've broken your arm!" I exclaimed frustrated at how he could've forgotten my number one rule. "A simple 'Hey Terra,' would've worked."

"Sorry, I forgot," Jason apologized. "Now come on, were gonna be late for class!" He grabbed me by the arm and started to sprint off into the direction of the plaza. Luckily he didn't notice the blush forming on my face at his touch. The thing is, I kinda have a crush on Jason, but we're best friends and it would be kinda awkward if I liked him or the other way around, so I usually don't get my hopes up. Once we arrived in front of our dojo, he let go of my arm. I quickly stopped and breathed, catching my breath.

"Next time," I croaked. "Tell me when we're about to start running so I can catch my breath first."

"Come on, this could be the first time we're actually here before everyone else!" Jason exclaimed quickly walking into the dojo. I followed and looked around the dojo, my eyes falling on the pictures of Yuki, Cole, and their pups with their owners. I walked up to them to get a better look. A smile grew on face when I saw a group photo of all of them, a statue of a dog in the middle.

"Watcha looking at?" Jason asked, coming up beside me.

"Did your mom and dad ever tell you about Yuki?" I asked Jason, my eyes still trained on the group photo.

"I think I remember my mom talking to my dad about it once, but no they never told me about it directly," Jason answered.

"Then maybe you'd like to hear it?" Jason and I turned around to face our sensei, otherwise known as my dad, Jack Anderson. I ran up and hugged him. "And how was your day Terra?"

"Great! Everyone in my class really liked the story of Yuki," I told him cheerfully.

"The I guess I'll tell everyone the story after class," Dad said.

"Okay!" I smiled.


We were all awestruck. Okay, I already heard the story before but it never seems to get old. Everyone else was sitting on the mat, trying to process the story into their heads.

"So, what do you think?" Aunt Jaine asked, standing beside her husband, Uncle Jerry.

"Wow," said Sera, Uncle Eddie and Aunt Emma's daughter.

"That was one story," Carter added, Uncle Milton and Aunt Julie smiled at his reaction.

"I wish I could meet all of them, the dogs I mean," Reyla said, daughter of the dancing pair.

"I miss them," Mom said, dad's arm draped over her shoulder.

"We all do, Kim," Dad said.

"Is Bobby still in Japan?" I asked. All eyes were on me. I froze, hating all the attention. One of the reasons why I don't participate in karate competitions.

"Yeah, he is, but he came by to visit a few times over the years," Uncle Rudy answered.

"Hey mom, after hearing this story, I really want a dog, so... Can I have one?" Jason asked facing Aunt Lyna.

"Yeah can I have one too?" begged Sera.

"Hey, I want one too!" Carter added.

Mom and dad stared at me, expecting me to ask them for a dog as well.

"I don't want a dog..." I told them, their eyes widening in surprise. "I want a puppy!"

Everyone started to beg each of their parents for dog or puppy, the noise level in the room increasing by the minute.

"Tell you what," shouted Aunt Jaine over all of our voices. After we all quieted down Aunt Emma continued.

"We'll think about it, alright?"

All of us pre-teens gathered together talking about if we should agree or continue begging them until they break and say yes. Jason and Sera were voting for begging, while Carter and Reyla were voting to let the adults talk it over, making me stuck in the middle. All eyes were on me again. Why do I always have to be the center of attention?

"Jason and Sera's idea of begging 'til they break may work," I started, earning a smile from Jason, making my decision even harder. "But Carter and Reyla's idea to agree with our parents may also work out as well."

"So who's side are you on?" Sera demanded, making me flinch at her sudden outburst.

Wanting to get this over with, I hastily made a decision. "I'll let them talk." Jason and Sera seemed a bit upset, but went with the plan.

"We've decided to let you guys talk about it," Reyla said.

"Can we go home now? I have some homework I still need to finish," I said.


I was eating breakfast quietly when my mom said something that made me choke on my waffle.

"What?" I asked, after recovering from almost getting waffle into my lungs.

"You can have a puppy," my mom repeated. I beamed at my mom and hugged her before going over to my dad and hugging him as well. I picked up my bag and slung it over my shoulder.

"I'm going to Jason's to tell him the news," I told them before walking out the door.

"Jason, hurry up and get the door you lazy bum!" I exclaimed, my fist pounding on his door repeatedly.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" he called from behind the door. Once we were on the sidewalk, I screamed out, "My parents said yes!" It's a good thing it was early in the day, because if people heard my sudden out burst, they would've thought I was crazy.

"Quiet down," hushed Jason. "Anyways, my parents said yes too. We're going to go get one after school."

"My parents never told me when I was going to get mine, I hope it's soon though!" I said happily.

We stopped by Sera, Carter, and Reyla's houses on our way to school. From what Carter had heard, all of our parents talked it out together, which meant that they all agreed on one thing; the kids can have a puppy.

After another long day of school, I rushed outside and saw my mom waving at me. I hopped into the shotgun of her car and she took me to the plaza. Dad was waiting at the parking lot. When he got into the car, I asked the both of them, "Where are we going?"

"To get you a puppy of course," Dad said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. I squealed in excitement, which rarely happened since squealing hurt my throat.

"So Terra, what kind of puppy do you want?" Mom asked, eyes on the road.

"An Akita Inu of course!" I exclaimed. Both of my parents chuckled at my answer.

"What are you going to name it?" Dad asked.

"If it's a boy Tsume or Hachi, but if it's a girl, then I'll name her Yuki or Hikaru," I answered after some thought.

"Hikaru?" Dad asked.

"Carter told me that it meant radiance," I explained.

When we arrived at the breeding grounds, I was surprised to see everyone else there as well. I looked up at the sign on building. It read 'Bobby Wasabi's Inu's'. I turned around and asked my mom, "When did Bobby Wasabi start to fund this place?"

"A few years after all the dogs passed. He said that this place would be to honor they great friends we've all lost," Uncle Rudy answered.

As we were listening to one of the care takers that worked here, I noticed something written on the wall behind the front desk. I walk up to it to get a better view. It was the Wasabi Code, but below it was something else. 'What better way to learn true loyalty than to raise an Akita? - Bobby Wasabi'. Huh, I wonder if he really said that.

"Come on, Terra," Jason called. I turned my head in his direction, noticing that everyone else had already followed the worker to the puppies. I hurried over to Jason, then we went to find everyone else. It wasn't really hard. All we had to do was follow the sound of puppies barking.

"They're so adorable!" Reyla exclaimed. She was holding one in her arms and it was just pawing at Reyla's face.

"Hey there little guy," Carter said, petting the one in front of him.

"Are they going to be big when they grow up?" Sera asked. The worker informed her that they were going to be pretty large dogs. "I'm not such a huge fan of large dogs."

"Well we do have this one puppy," the worker said. "I'll go get him."

"Go on Jason, Terra, pick one," smiled Aunt Lyna. I was looking at all the puppies. There were about 12-14 of them in the little fenced area outside. Reyla and Carter already have their favourites. Jason walked into the little fenced cage and carefully stepped over each puppy when he stopped and bent down to pick one up. The puppy had a mixture of 3 colours. Black, tan and white.

"Your different from all the others," Jason said looking at the puppy right in the eyes. The puppy looked at him before he barked at Jason. "I am so getting you."

"Here you are," said the worker, handing over the small puppy to Sera. It was smaller than the other pups but looked quite the same.

"What makes him so special?" Sera asked.

"He isn't an Akita," answered the worker, which surprised all of us. "He's a Shiba."

"And how big will these guys grow?"

"Medium size. When all of your pups are grown up, you'll be able to see the difference," the worker explained. He turned to face me. "You're the last one."

I scanned my eyes over the puppies that were left. I wanted the perfect one, and my eyes found it. I picked up the pup farthest away from everyone and smiled.

"Hi there," I said. The puppy was everything I wanted. It didn't look like Yuki with its albino fur, but I knew that this puppy was the one. After our parents paid for all of our new pups, we all went to the local park and just started to get to know each other.

"Here Bandit! Here boy!" Jason called patting his legs as he tried to get Bandit's attention.

"Arf!" barked Hachi, the little Shiba chasing after Sera.

"I don't get it Carter, why won't Jesse fetch?" Reyla asked, puzzled about why her puppy won't fetch. Carter face-palmed.

"Were you even paying attention to the story?" Carter asked. Carter stretched out his hand at Jesse and Kai. "They won't fetch until we prove our loyalty to them!"

"And how do you suppose we do that? Save them from a getting hit by a car?" Reyla argued back. I laughed. They were always like this. I feel bad for Jesse and Kai though.

"Arf!" I looked down at the ground to see my little white fuzzball sitting patiently. I crouched and started to pet her. She barked and started to jump. I laughed. Hikaru had started to chase her tail. It was too cute.


Kim's Pov

It's amazing to think that it's been 14 years since we were all in Japan. Honestly the trip to Japan made all of us more grateful for the wonderful friends and family we have. Right now, while the kids were playing with their new friends, all of us were sitting underneath some trees, watching over them.

"They look just like us when we Yuki had pups," Jack smiled.

"Here we go again," I said.

Everyone started to laugh at my words, realizing how true they were.

"It won't be so bad this time," Milton said.

"Yeah, because we're here to make sure they won't make the same mistakes we did," Rudy said.

"I miss Meatball," Jerry said. Jaine leaned on his shoulder, trying to comfort him.

"Who doesn't miss any of them?" Lyna asked.

"Well, at least now we've got some new members to the family," Eddie said.

"And new warriors," Jack added.

I leaned against Jack's shoulder, and smiled. Thinking how much these pups and our kids are gonna remind me of us, and how many new memories they're gonna make. And the start of a new story begins... now.


Here it is, the Epilogue! Sorry if you're confused about some parts. I really enjoyed writing this. Especially the Jason/Terra moments. With a little hint of Reyla/Carter. Sera will find her perfect guy. Anyways I think I might write a fanfic about Jerry and Jaine, a plot bunny hopped into my brain while writing this author's note. My only problem. I have 3 more fanfics to finish, and I have a another plot bunny for PJO. Well, I hope you enjoyed reading the epilogue, even though I kinda ran out of ideas.

Review, alert, or fav!
