RK doesn't belong to me.
Chapter 12: This is the End, but…can it really be happy?
~*~*~*~*~*
"What do you mean I can't go back?"
"Its already been decided, you've spent too much time there already."
"But…I'm alive now…"
"As if we would ever care about something like that!"
"Past…"
"Future, you have NO right to decide your own fate like you have been doing."
"I have to agree with Past on that one."
"I guess this would be a good decision considering you two."
"And what do you mean about that?"
"You two lived to be old maids after all—neither one of you would understand what it is I am going through!"
"Ohhh, you better take that back girl!"
"Past, please, you can't really kill her you know…"
"I don't care! I'll teach her a lesson somehow."
"Past, Present, I think you two had better stop this now…and congratulate your kin in being the first to be excused from her position with out finishing her appointed time."
"Order!"
"You mean I can go?"
"Yes, you can—you didn't even have to come back here…but, you won't have a past in the mortal world, that may cause a problem, but I am sure you and your lover can get past it."
"Lovers…how they make me gag!"
"Past! Please, be more respectful."
"No, they always make me feel sick with the wish-wash feelings they drag themselves through because they can't understand their feelings in the first place."
"You have a point, Past."
"I do don't I Future? That is why I don't agree with your leaving—you two should've just told each other your feelings in the past and not wait until a time like this!"
"I know, it was horrible timing, right?"
"Yes, yes."
"Order?"
"Yes, Present?"
"There is something I can't understand, how did the dimensions tare like they did? Isn't that against the Order of All?"
"Yes, it is, but Koneko-chan—right?—had the ability to do so, somehow…I think it is because she possess the power rival to that of our Sun Goddess, and was able to get through it all."
"Then how was the demon able to come with her?"
"Because he was traveling with her at the time. He had grabbed hold of her aura, and was able to pull himself along the fabric even though the had different auras to being with."
"Nani? I don't get it…"
"I never expected—or wanted you too."
"Okay…"
"Now, Future—no, Kaoru-san, you can go. Please be free and alive for as long as you can."
"Thank you, Order, Past, Present."
"Ah, come on! You're going to make me cry! So much lover-ness! Too much for me!"
"Such a confusing reason…but, no one is stronger then her…right?"
"While Present is in her own world, I hope you have a kind of your own world with those you love."
"So, Kao-chan has left to see the decision made for her?" Misao said, sitting back against a pole at the dojo porch. "I hope everything turns out alright…"
"You aren't the only one," whispered Kenshin, hoping no one heard him, but at the same time wishing some one did.
"Oh, now spot looking so glum everyone, I am sure everything is just fine!" said Soba, in a happy tone. It wasn't good for everyone—including her health—if they were all so depressed. "Kao-chan will get through just fine and will come home to us soon."
"Yeah, but she won't have a past…"
"What's with a past? It's just really something for you to learn from."
"Thank you…but, now a days, you need a past."
"Now, Ken-kun, don't frown, it does horrible for those worry lines and wrinkles that are starting to form."
Laughter followed that comment, making Kenshin blush deeply. Their minds had been taken off the situation for a while.
"Now, have a glass of my famous tea and relax—she'll come back and everything will be just fine."
"Hello little sister!" Through the gate produced a little woman with silver-gray hair tied back in a ponytail, ending in a bunch of little curls.
"Onee-chan!"
"Yes, my dear little sister!" The woman squeezed her little sister tightly, showing strength despite her old age. "Now, where is my cute grand daughter?"
"Onee-chan…you don't have to pretend that anymore…Kao-chan had to go, and we know who she really is…"
"Oh, well, I see…She was a sweet grand daughter anyway, but I am sure she will be back!"
"See! Even my sister agrees that she will be back! Kenshin you have nothing to worry!"
"Worry, who is worrying?"
"My dear grand daughter! It's so good to see you!"
"Obaba!"
The two embraced like they really were as they said, oblivious to the stares of those around them. That is, until they noticed them. Together they blinked and said, "What?"
There was a round of sweat drops.
This means that they all lived happily; went to college made dreams with each other and married their respective others. Sweet children like Kenji came to their loved families and Kenshin ended up cutting his hair short because if his son's hair pulling tactics and letting it grow out when the boy was older.
All in all, they were happy to be and lived that way.
As for the Three-Fates-Now-Only-Two and the order…that are a different story all together.
"Okay! Roll call! Past?"
"Here."
"Na-chan?"
"Here."
"Present?"
"Present!"

AN: This story is finally over! I like the ending though, its one of my favorite endings for a fanfic I have done. Don't know why though… thank you to those who stuck through for this fic (though I really didn't feel like doing so myself sometimes…). ^.^
Yuki: I'm read good RK fics, and then I forget to read them again…sometimes…thank you, though…this is the last update…for any of my fics if I don't warm up soon…or get a pare of gloves but my house is FREEZING! And I'm cold…yeah, gloves…they might work…
omochi: no, she isn't leaving for good, but I think I will to go get those gloves…brb…back, and with gloves…hands are getting warmer…now, back to business! Sometimes I don't know what I am saying as well, and I'll have to pause and ask my self or the person I am talking to if that made sense…like what I just wrote.
Jay: I've never seen the Firefly Scene… and the fairy tale is twisted because it is cute that way. ^.^
My hands are warmer—my house is one of the coldest places on earth—or it feels that way…Thank you and remember to review for this chapter as well! Please?
