Epilogue: Spring in Winter

It's been 2 years.

Hisashi Mitsui is now 2nd year College in Tokyo University. He's taking up BS Psychology and Vice Team Captain of the basketball team in Tokyo University. Mitsui smiled as he saw Ryota is also studying in Tokyo University. Ryota Miyagi is also playing for the basketball team of Tokyo University as Point Guard. He and Emi were a couple now. Emi is studying in Ishibara University and Captain Ball of the Volleyball team.

"Yo Mitsui!" Ryota greeted giving Mitsui a high five. Mitsui grinned and exclaimed, "Hey, how's Rukawa and Sakuragi?" Ryota smiled and said, "Hanamichi is doing great as the team captain of Shohoku. Kaede is making waves in the All-Japan team. I've heard that the All-Japan Team manager wants to recruit Sakuragi."

"That's good, Shohoku is now going to be 3 time Champions!" Mitsui exclaimed gleefully. Sakuragi Hanamichi is now the team captain of Shohoku, since he is the reason why Shohoku won the Winter Games and the last National Championship. Rukawa Kaede is now has a name in the All-Japan Team.

Hanamichi stopped courting Haruko and turned his attention to Seyou. According the news Mitsui got, Seyou is now Hanamichi's girlfriend and the captain ball of the volleyball team. Many say that she might be the next Winter Snow. Kaede and Miki are dating and many say they're a couple, both of them kept on denying they are not a couple but as just friends. Last month, Kaede met Miki's brother, the Famous Taoka Shinohara and according to Taoka-san, he approves of Kaede is ever he became Miki's boyfriend.

Ryota nudged Mitsui and exclaimed, "We're up against Akagi's school by next week, nervous?" Mitsui shook his head. "Not at all, competing against Gori is good, I'm not worried!"

"You have a point, we knew Akagi very well, too bad Kogure stopped playing basketball and migrated to the states. Akagi needs a good vice-captain." Ryota replied. Takenori Akagi studies at Ishibara University and he is the Team captain of the basketball team. Kiminobu Kogure and his family migrated to the United States for a better life.

Shinichi Maki walked up to Mitsui saying, "Hisashi, Miyagi, we have training on Sat! Don't be late!" Mitsui nod his head saying, "Sure Captain!"

"Imagine that, we're now team mates of the great Maki of Kainan! Irony isn't it?" Ryota replied. Mitsui laughed and said, "Yeah, Fujima is Akagi's Vice-Team Captain in Ishibara, really an irony. Former enemies now teammates!" Then suddenly, Mitsui noticed a poster of announcing the guest speaker for the Sports Club. Mitsui's eyes widened when he saw the guest speakers name and smiled.

"Hey Miyagi, I'll be attending that Sport's Club assembly today! Tell our professor that I'll just attend his make-up class on Friday night!" Mitsui exclaimed in a hurry. Ryota raised an eyebrow saying, "Nani? What the sudden rush towards that club assembly?" he then looked at the poster and saw the guest speaker's name and cried, "Well I'll be! No wonder Mitsui is such in a hurry!"

In the auditorium, the Sport's Club president was introducing the guest speaker's name, "Welcome minna-san, our guest speaker is very well known in the volleyball field. She has been playing for the All-Japan Volleyball Team for two years. Now she is the Captain Ball of the All-Japan Volleyball Team. Way back in Junior High she made waves and made her known as phenomenal player. In her Senior High, she made Shohoku High champions in the Nationals. Everyone a round of applause for the one and only Winter Snow. Yuki Guerra!"

Yuki Guerra stepped on the stage smiling at everyone. "Good Morning everyone, I'm very grateful for making me your guest speaker today. There are many things that I want to share to all of you. I am Yuki Guerra, the Winter Snow, the famous Snow Queen. But just like any season, Winter has to go and fall down. I've experienced that."

She paused as memories of the past flowed through her. "I lost my self confidence because of an injury. I was blinded when the doctor told me that I could never play volleyball ever again. I started to hate the sport and I became a winter snow, cold and bitter."

"But someone drew the passion and love out of me for the sport. I once stood up and played and reached for my dream. The thing is, you must never give up and always remember that you play for the love of the sport and always have fun!" Yuki replied with that she was applauded.

Mitsui smiled, "She never changed. Yuki, it's been a very long time." he thought as he watched Yuki went down the stage. The Secretary of the club approached Yuki saying, "We'll be heading for the Dean's Office to arrange your transfer to this university Ms. Guerra."

Yuki nod her head. As she turned her head forward, she froze, there stood the man that awaken her dying spirit. Hisashi Mitsui smiled at her, the smile that melted the winter in order for spring to come. "M-Mitsui." Yuki whispered. Mitsui took a step forward, Yuki did the same, another step and another and they found each other in each other's arms.

"Yuki! I've missed you." Mitsui whispered in her ear. Yuki nod her head, tears forming in her eyes, "Oh God Mitsui, you were right, we will meet again. I've missed you!"

Mitsui held her hand and said, "I was not able to say it to you two years ago, but now I have no doubt! When I saw your name on that poster. I knew. I knew I wasn't wrong. I love you Yuki, very much that I regretted that I didn't told you before!" Tears flowed out Yuki's eyes, they were tears of joy, "I've waited for those words Mitsui for a very long time and I've waited for 2 years to tell you that I love you too!"

Mitsui wiped Yuki's tears away and smiled. He bends forward and kissed her on the lips. Yuki returned back the kiss. And that moment, she knew that she; The Great Winter Snow is now Spring for The Great Summer King is now with her.

It's gonna be love
It's gonna be great
It's gonna be more than I can take
It's gonna be free
It's gonna be real
It's gonna change everything I feel
It's gonna be sad
It's gonna be true
It's gonna be me, baby
It's gonna be you, baby
It's gonna be...
It's gonna be love

OWARI!
