Yo minna! Okay so here's the epilogue- the official last chapter of the fic! I wanna take a moment to once again thank everyone who took the time to read, review,favorite and alert for this fic. You guys are what inspired me and pushed me to finish this long fic. And you all are the reason I'm going to write a sequel to this fic! Now without further ado, I bring you the final chapter of Call It Fate!
"Domyoji-sama, Mizuki-san requests to see you."
Kaede looked up from her desk; she was still in the process of fixing everything so Tsukasa could take over. And now that all her obstacles were out of her way- well almost all of them, but if all went as planned the night before then Sarina would be bringing her good news. Kaede smirked to herself. It had been child's play to convert that little idiot over to her side. All it had taken was a bit of kindness, something that Kanna had failed to do. Instead she had created a sycophant, who would and could snap out of idoling the other woman. Though Kaede wasn't quite sure if 'idoling' was the correct word for what Sarina had been doing to Kanna.
Kaede shrugged; it didn't matter though. Sarina had done her job; she had helped orchestrate the kidnapping. Kaede frowned. Admittedly Tsukasa's marriage to the Shika brat would've been useful- until the brat had renounced her inheritance over the company. Still Kaede had been willing to let that slide; however when she had caught wind of the fact that the girl was pregnant, she had decided enough was enough. She would not allow her company to be tainted with what amounted to commoner blood.
"Kaeda-sama, I completed my mission. The girl is secured in the plane and is headed off shores as we speak."
Kaede smiled, and turned to look out the window.
"And the child?"
"Um... We're still about eight and a half months away from dealing with that."
Kaede turned, an incredulous look on her face.
"I will not allow her to have that child. I don't plan on having her in captivity forever! I just want to get rid of the child and then make it so she can never return to Japan."
Sarina got up, a look of defiance on her face.
"I will not commit murder; even if it's for you Kaede-sama."
Kaede looked at her then turned back around.
"Have it your way; however if that child finds out about it's heritage you had better be far away from this place Sarina. I will not have a commoner rule the empire I have worked at building my entire life."

Akira looked at his cell phone, ignoring the fact that Tsukasa had called him for the tenth time. He had other matters to attend to, namely Saranghae. Besides, knowing his friend, he was probably just calling to tell him that Manda was pregnant even though he had told him at the reception.
Akira sighed; he couldn't help but feel a bit bitter to the fact that Manda had chosen Tsukasa over him. Would it affect his friendship with her? No, because a small part of him loved her still. Did it affect his friendship with Tsukasa? Most definitely. He was happy that his friend had found a girl, he just wished it hadn't been the girl he had fallen for. He would be happy for Tsukasa, but that didn't mean that he had to watch him be happy.
Akira looked at the address he had in his hand. He had gotten the address from Tsubaki, who had told him that if she wasn't visiting Tsukasa and consequently staying in the Domyouji villa, Saranghae wasn't there; she was in an apartment straight across town. Apparently Tsubaki needed eyes in Tokyo even when she wasn't looked up at the upscale building and frowned a bit when he noticed that it was the type of place where you had to be buzzed into the building by the tenant. He was glad that Saranghae was being protected, but it was a pain; that meant that he couldn't jut knock on her door anonymously.
Slowly he walked up to the buzzing system on the outside of the front door and pressed the button on the numbered key. He waited a few seconds and then miraculously the door buzzed obnoxiously and opened. Akira just shrugged it off; maybe there were cameras.
He made his way through the door and then up a flight of stairs. From what he'd understood, her apartment was on the second he made his way to the door marked 212 and knocked on it.
"Coming!"
There was fumbling with the doorknob and then it opened, revealing Saranghae.
"Ah... Come in.. Let me just go get something."
Akira went in, not knowing that that 'something' was duck tape and rope. (a/n: don't worry if you don't get it, it's an inside joke; and if you really wanna know, read Saranghae-Minnie's last two reviews!)

Tsukasa was utterly defeated. He didn't know what or how it had happened, but Manda had been kidnapped. This time no matter how many people he had on the hunt for her, it didn't matter; the love of his life had disappeared without a trace. Tsukasa rose up from his bed.
At first he had thought that maybe she had left with Saranghae or Yuuki, but after calling both he had gotten worried. Then he had called her father, toying with the idea that maybe she had gone to tell her family that she was pregnant. That turned out to be a negative and only succeeded in worrying her family. Tsukasa reached out for a stack of flyers that had Manda's picture on them; he wouldn't give up. He would have Manda back with him, and he would never stop loving her; his heart would never belong to another, not even if she was gone from his side for a thousand years.
I hope you all enjoyed this last chapter, even though I don't think its in my top 5 favorite chappies (RuiXTsukushi wedding scene is number 1 though!) So here's the info for the sequel:
Title:Call It A Sequel (I don't really like the title so if you all have any suggestions...)

Enter, their children; twins, an outspoken boy named Ryo and a shy wallflower named Sora who go to a public school. Tsukasa, who never gave up hope, suddenly receives a surprise from his mother who is on her death bed. Yuki and Sojirou are married; and where the hell is Akira in this? All this and more in Call It A Sequel (again I am open to suggestions on the title...)
