A couple of years had passed.
Rain was happily leaning back into Kaoru's embrace as she watched the other former Host Club members, now all out of high school. Honey had managed to find the deserts and Mori was attempting to convince him to save some of the sweets for next time. Hikaru was flirting with Haruhi and Tamaki was regaling Kyoya with an extraordinary tale that he had heard.
They were in Rain and Kaoru's new house they had just bought, not quite in the city, but it was not a farm either. Yes, they were finally together. Engaged actually.
Tamaki had been very disappointed to learn that he would not be able to put his plan in action, it had roses, and candles, and moonlight and everything! It had taken a while for the Host Club Members to raise his spirits, but he finally brightened when he realized that he got to help Kaoru set up for the night he asked Rain for her hand in marriage.
Much had happened, Hikaru had finally confessed to Haruhi and had found her feelings were mutual. Tamaki had taken the news of Hikaru and Haruhi surprisingly well, and was currently crushing on the local flower shop owner.
Kyoya had started up his business, of course, it was successful. He had a very pretty secretary too...
Honey and Mori were teaching martial artists and kendo. They were famous for being good with children. Then there was also the little fact that Honey had started to fall for a pastry chef girl and Mori was dating an aspiring author.
Everyone was growing up.
Of course, Sadao had not been forgotten either. Takao and Dai successful managed to have the police take proper care of Sadao and his goons.
Speaking of which, Takao and Dai were doing well. Dai had convinced Takao to move from the old farmhouse and join him in their new private business to help citizens. They visited often, both proud of their growing business and being able to help others.
Rain couldn't imagine a better life.
"What are you thinking about?" Kaoru whispered softly, gently pulling away Rain from her thoughts.
Rain smiled and answered, "How lucky I am."
Kaoru chuckled, "Yes, you got me didn't you?"
"Shut up," Rain muttered, her elbow meeting his gut and she heard the satisfying result of his groan.
Kaoru moaned dutifully, "Shutting up."
"I love you."
"And I love you," Kaoru replied happily. The couple suddenly looked up, the sight of six smiles faces greeted them.
"You two are just so adorable," Tamaki cried in a sing-song tone.
Kaoru rolled his eyes and he felt Rain laugh.
"So Rain dear," Tamaki continued, "When shall we take you dress shopping?"
"Tamaki, the wedding isn't for another 6 months," Rain reminded him with a soft smile.
"Now Rain, 6 months will fly by!" Tamaki declared.
"I'm sure Mother would love to design a dress for you," Hikaru offered, the others giving nods of agreement.
"That would be lovely," Rain replied.
Wedding plans continued on, Tamaki unofficially taking charge, Kyoya jotting down notes, and everyone offering up their help and ideas.
And it felt as though Rain only blinked her eyes and six months had passed, just as Tamaki had said. The day had finally come. Everything was perfect, silver and blue scattered about, smiling faces and laughter. Everyone watched as Takao escorted Rain down the aisle, all eyes glued to the beautiful bride.
The dress was lovely, simple yet elegant.
Blue combs adorned her hair, twisted up in a fashionable style, her exposed neck had on a silver necklace with a heart upon it. Her dress draped off of one shoulder in a very greek-like shoulder, hugging her curves, and flaring out ever so slightly from the hips as it fell to the ground, all but hiding her silver high heeled sandals.
At her side stood the groom. Red hair wild as ever, clad in a black tuxedo with a blue flower, lovingly named Cupid's Dart, tucked in his chest pocket. His green eyes bore into hers as the exchange the final vows.
Rain knew that nothing had ever felt so right as she pledged her life to him with the traditional words of, "I do."
"You may now kiss the bride."
Flashing his bride a wicked smile, Kaoru obliged.
As he pulled back from the quick, but passionate kiss, he grinned madly and told her, "I love you Mrs. Rain Hitachiin."
Need it even be said that the new bride returned his glowing smile? "And I love you."
The End
