Author's Note: Okay, I lied. That wasn't the last chapter. Since you guys
liked it so much and since hc asked, I'm doing the epilogue. Also, that lil
part at the end was a song. It's off one of my mixed cds, so I'm not sure
who sings it.
Disclaimer: I have a confession...I am in fact, Akira Toriyami...K, maybe not but I can still dream. I CAN STILL DREAM! o.o I'm okay....

~In comes the winter breeze~
~That chills the air and drifts the snow~
~And I imagine kissing you~
~Under the mistletoe~
Even though Vegeta had found closure. His mind did still wonder. Undoubtedly, he thought about her many times. Some part of him still couldn't let go. His heart still longing for her soft touch. Vegeta would someday go on, but he wasn't sure when that day would come.
~I long for, the warmth of the days gone by~
~When you were mine~
~Now those days are memories in time~
A month or two went by. Fall was slowly fading away as the chilly winter breeze came. Before long, it had already begun to snow. The Capsule Corp grounds were covered in a layer of snow making everything white, and pure, untouched by humans. Vegeta found it comforting to just sit and look out the window at the snow.
Today Goten was over. He and Trunks were outside playing, both of them happy, not a care in the world. A small smile played on Vegeta's lips as he watched his son and his rival's son play in the snow. "How great it must be to not have anything to worry about...." Vegeta thought.
~Life seems empty~
~Without you, by my side~
~My heart belongs to you~
~No matter what I try~
"Vegeta..." Bulma called softly as she walked into the living room. She sat beside him and looked out the window. "He's growing up so fast.... Seems like only yesterday I was changing his diapers." Bulma sighed happily as her mind drifted into a daydream state.
Vegeta's arms came around her waist as he pulled her closer. Still staring out the window, he couldn't help the content feeling that came over him. He felt...loved. Vegeta liked this feeling a lot.
A long time ago all he knew was hatred and revenge, but Bulma had changed that for him. Vegeta vowed a long time ago he would never let anything happen to her or Trunks. They were all he had.
Sometimes he couldn't help the foreboding feelings he got. Nightmares would sometimes sweep over his mind, taking Trunks and Bulma from him. In his lifetime, that seemed possible, everything he ever cared for had been taken away in a blink of an eye.
~When I get the courage up to somebody new~
~It always falls apart, they can't compare to you~
~Your love won't release me, I'm bound in ball and chain~
~Reminiscing our love, as I watch for seasons change~
~When springtime makes its way here~
~Lilac blooms remind me of, the scent of your perfume~
As April brought warmer weather and sunny days, winter memories faded away. Christmas came and went. The children were outside once again. And Vegeta, he kept up his usual training. Flowers were again vibrant with color around Capsule Corp, Bulma's mother loved her gardening.
The day was late and the sun setting. Vegeta exited the gravity room, sweaty and tired. He wiped his brow with the towel around his neck and glanced around the empty hallway. His mind played tricks on him. He would have swore there she was again..."Couldn't be... I'm just tired," Vegeta thought and proceeded to the kitchen for a glass of water.
Vegeta suddenly felt a cold chill go down his spine, one that entered his very heart and soul; enough to make your skin crawl, and your goose bumps have goose bumps. He turned around quickly to find no one there. Either he was crazy, or the training was getting to him. He decided to rest for a few days.
He rummaged through the dusty attic. Bulma called it spring-cleaning. He had nothing else better to do. Vegeta would have made up the excuse about needing to train, but what good would that really do? He needed to take it easy for a while.
"I'll be right back, I'm going to get some more cleaning supplies," Bulma called as she headed down the narrow steps. A creaking sound followed her retreating footsteps. Vegeta mumbled in response and went back to sorting the junk.
It was odd...He was going through all these boxes, and had found many old things, some he had never seen before. Vegeta stood and brushed his hands together trying to get the dust off when he noticed a box in the corner, pushed away from the others.
Vegeta knelt to look inside. He picked up a very old picture frame covered in dust, wiped some of it away, and gasped at the picture. It was...Bulma? No, this women couldn't be Bulma. She was dressed in a very old fashion wedding dress. Maybe this was one of her relatives...Vegeta wiped away the rest of the dust. Suddenly the soft cling of the picture frame was heard as he dropped it back into the box.
"That picture...Kimiko was in it!" Vegeta thought. Now he was definitely losing his mind.
~Remember the nights when we closed our eyes~
~And vowed that you and I, would be in love for all time~
~Anytime I think about these things I shared with you~
~I break down and cry 'cause I get so emotional~
~Until you release I'm bound ball and chain~
~Reminiscing our love as I watch for seasons change~
The days became longer with the summer season. It was hot and humid all the time. The only relief were the cool summer nights. Vegeta would often sit outside and look at the stars, just thinking...Letting his mind wonder. Sometimes he'd be out there for hours and not even realize it.
A cool breeze against his back, felt warm and familiar. For a moment he felt there was nothing to worry about, but that feeling never lasted for long. Although when he was went Kimiko, everything in the world seemed right. He wished he had that feeling again.
He leaned back and stared straight ahead. All of a sudden he felt comforted, as if she was sitting right beside him. Vegeta glanced over to find Bulma next to him, just gazing at the stars. His arm came around her shoulders and her head leaned against his shoulder. Everything seemed perfect.
~When summer burns with heat~
~I always get the hots for you~
~Go skinny dippin' in the ocean~
~Where we used to do~
Summer left and it began to get chilly again. It was fall and Capsule Corp was having its annual party. It would be held at a fancy hall in a local hotel. Usually Vegeta hated to go, but this year he wouldn't put up much of a fuss. He'd go just for Bulma, and only Bulma.
~When autumn sheds the leaves the trees are bare~
~When you're not here~
~It doesn't feel the same~
"Vegeta hurry we're going to be late, and grab the car keys!" Bulma called from Trunks's room as she tried to get him to put on his tuxedo. He did, after Bulma bribed him.
Vegeta reached in his pockets to check for the keys but didn't find them. Instead he pulled out a locket, Kimiko's locket with her initials on it, old looking and tarnish, the initials on it was hard to make out.
"I'll miss you Vegeta..."
Vegeta whirled around quickly to see her standing there. She blew him a kiss and waved. He smiled and watched as she disappeared again, for the last time... Vegeta told himself he wouldn't dwell in the past, but it's hard to let go sometimes. He got to see her smile again and hear her voice. That was enough for him. He'd let go, for real this time...at least he hoped.
"I'll miss you too...Kimiko" Vegeta whispered, grabbed the keys off the nightstand, and headed downstairs to meet Bulma and Trunks in the car.
~This loneliness has crushed my heart~
~Please let me love again~
~Cause I need your love to comfort me and ease my pain~
~Or four seasons will...~
~Bring loneliness again~
~In comes the winter breeze, that chills the air and drifts the snow. And I imagine kissing you under the mistltoe~
~When spring makes it way here, Lilac blooms remind me of the scent of your perfume~
~When summer burns with heat I always get the hots for you. Go skinny dippin' in the ocean where we used to do.~
~When autumn sheds the leaves the trees are bare. When your not here, it doesn't feel the same~
I long for....the warmth of...the days gone by. When you were mind...
Now those days are memories in time. . .

End A/N: I hope you guys liked that. I think I'm going to cry...I'm so emotional...*sniffles* Well let me know. K? I was suddenly hit with inspiration to do this chapter so I hope you guys like it. That's it for now...
Ja ne!
P.S. That is a song, its called 4 Seasons of Loneliness, by: Boys II Men. They're one of my all time favorite groups. If you want to listen to it, I'm sure you could buy their cd. It really is a good song, one of my faves. I recommend their greatest hits cd. Well I'm outta here.
