Epilogue
By: Kohan
Through the stillness of the night, the ring of a
phone was heard. It echoed through the walls of a small house,
just outside Tokyo, Japan, and into the ears of those sleeping
there. Hotaru sighed and reached for the telephone, which was on
her bedside table. She heard her partner groan in annoyance and
turn over.
"Hello?" She said sleepily, and looked at the clock, it
was 1:30 in the morning.
"Hotaru? Hi! This is Minako!"
"Hi..."
"Guess what?!" The woman on the other line asked in a
very chipper voice. Hotaru was not in the mood for guessing
games, so she let her continue without answering. "Usagi is
in labor! So, are you going to come down to the hospital? You and
Heero? Please...I told Usagi that I'd make you."
"Sure, Mina-chan...just give me until about 6:30 when I
actually wake up..."
"Oh, come on, Hotaru, It's her first! Everyone else is
here!"
"All right, all right..." Hotaru said and hung up, no
good bye or anything. She turned over and took her sleepy partner
by the arm and shook him. Her response was him turning over,
grabbing her by the waist and going back to sleep.
"Heero...we have to go to the hospital."
"Why?" He asked, looking up.
"Usagi's in labor."
***
Hotaru and Heero, now both fully dressed, entered
the hospital somewhat more awake then they were before. Hotaru
went up to the woman at the front desk and asked in a rather
annoyed tone which room Usagi Chang was in. After being directed
by the woman (who didn't look so happy herself), Hotaru and Heero
made their way down the hospital hall.
"Heero, over here, buddy!" A cheery voice called from
down another hallway. Duo Maxwell, looking spunky as ever (even
in his white t-shirt and plaid PJ bottoms) was standing in the
middle of the hallway in front of a door that was labeled
'delivery room'. Looking around, Hotaru could see that all
her friends were there. Even Makoto, now age 7 had been dragged
in by Minako. Minako herself was looking quite...pregnant, and
was simply glowing at the fact that she had woken everyone up at
1:30 in the morning. Ami, of course, had work to do, and was busy
typing on her laptop while Quatre slept away in the
uncomfortable-looking chair.
It appeared that perhaps Minako had called Rei
and Duo last, and it was quite possible that Duo had taken it as
'Usagi is having the baby now' instead of 'Usagi is in labor',
because both he and Rei were still in their PJ's. After jumping
up and down for a few minutes, (he's still the old Duo,) Duo sat
down in a chair next to Rei and busied himself with putting his
hair back in a braid.
"How long have you guys been here?" Hotaru asked,
sitting down.
"About a half hour, how come it took you so long?"
Minako said, playing with Makoto's hair.
"Had to get Heero up." Hotaru said, jerking her thumb
in Heero's direction.
"Oh, right, lazy sleeper, I got two of those at home."
Minako said looking in the direction of Makoto and Trowa.

"Come on, Usagi-chan, you know that if I
could be doing this, I would..."
"Liar! You would not! You are too weak!"
"I am not weak! I am just a little bit in labor here,
Wu-chan! If you dont' mind, I would appreciate it if you didn't
criticize me so much!"
"Okay, Usagi,"
"One more push should do it, Usagi," The doctor, clad
in his white mask said to Usagi, who was holding Wufei's hand in
the delivery room.
***
The white doors of the delivery room opened, and
Wufei walked out, in his hands was what could be seen as a small
puff of black hair in a blanket.
"She's a girl," Wufei said proudly. The others jumped
out of their seats and walked over to look at the new arrival.
"What's her name, Wufei?" Ami asked, she had abandoned
her laptop.
"Yin, Chang Yin."
"It suits her." Hotaru said and smiled. "Your
lucky to be blessed with such a child."

Destinies:
Aino Minako married Trowa Barton and they adopted Kino Makoto, after finding out from Setsuna that time could not be sped up on her. They had twin boys named Daniel and Eric. Fourteen years later, Makoto was living on her own, but had still regained none of her past memories, or her memories of the Sailor Senshi.
Mizuno Ami married Quatre Raberba Winner two years after Usagi's first daughter, Yin, was born. Unfortunately, they were unable to have children, and fourteen years later, they had moved to America in search of a new home.
Hino Rei and Duo Maxwell were blessed with a baby boy whom they named Haruka in honor of Sailoruranus, who was killed doing the thing she loved most, racing. Rei worked in her Grandfather's temple, and Duo helped out there as much as he could, learning the scared ways. Fourteen years later, they were still happily married, and living in the center of Japan, Tokyo.
Kaioh Michiru never recovered from loosing her Ten'ou Haruka, and she wasted away into nothingness, longing to be with her love. The senshi had her buried next to Haruka to pay tribute to their everlasting love. Fourteen years later, they were not forgotten.
Meiou Setsuna worked in a labratory for most of her life. She was named godmother to the children of Chang Wufei and Chang Usagi. She made herself famous by finding a cure for cancer, unfortunately, fourteen years later it was not needed.
Tomoe Hotaru and Yuy Heero were married two years before they had children. Their first child, a baby boy, had the fair skin and eyes of his mother, while his hair belonged to his father. Hotaru named him Shinkan. Their second child, who was female, Heero named Kyuuen. Her hair was black, and her eyes were prussian blue. Fourteen years later, the children were still in school, Heero was working for a military coperation, and Hotaru was working as a doctor in Tokyo.
Chiba Mamoru was considered a broken man after he had been reborn. He spent his final days in his apartment thinking over the course of his life. Fourteen years later, he was never seen again.
Chang Wufei and Chang Usagi had two children. Their first daughter, Yin, was 3 years old when their son, Artemis, was born. Wufei taught Usagi to sword fight, and, fourteen years later, Usagi had to put the world into eternal sleep for nearly a century, until it was time for the sleepy world to be awoken.

AN:
That's it, the end. I had a severe case of not wanting to do anything, so, sorry about the wait. I know it's not that long, but atleast I ended it. I'm not too proud of how it turned out, maybe I'll rewrite it someday. That's it for this series, I'm done. It doesn't need a sequel, and this is what you get. Stay tuned for more of The Evil Within.
