A/N: This last part will be through Trowa's perspective, just so you guys
know.
My Love For You
...Will Always Exist.
Epilogue
It's like waking up from a dream...that turned into a nightmare.
As I lied in my bed, staring up into the ceiling, I wondered, "Did all of that really happen?"
The sun was shining through the open window of my bedroom, the curtains waving in the breeze. As I sat up and rubbed my eyes, I glanced at the picture on the table next to me. It was a picture of a young woman, a little girl, and me, smiling happily into the camera. Then I realized that this wasn't a dream, that everything happened, and that she was gone.
I couldn't help but cry a little. The stray tears that rolled down my cheeks landed on the comforter on top of me, making it a little wet.
But I didn't make an expression. I could feel it. Like the emotionless clown I had become so accustomed to in my earlier years, I became an enigma yet again, only to feel the emptiness left inside of me.
I walked to Sakura's room, still dark because of the blinds on the windows, the little dancing teddy bears on her walls smiling happily at me as I walked in.
As she slept, I was happy to see that she was still hugging the blue bear that Kana had given to her.
I guess that made my spirits lift a little.
I kissed her on the forehead and left her room, not wanting to disturb her sleep.
The life that Kana and me had made together...
The love that we shared...
I wish the dream had never ended.
~*~*~*~
"Hey Dad!"
I turned from my newspaper to see Sakura kneeling in a t-shirt and jeans, apparently looking for something around the table.
"What is it?"
"Have you seen my necklace? I dropped it over here."
"It's by your leg."
She looked down and picked up a small silver necklace with a heart shaped locket hanging at the end, one that replicated the necklace that Kana had as a wedding present, with the exact same picture inside of the three of us together.
It's been ten years since she died.
Sakura is now fifteen, and is just going into high school.
I've settled into a normal life, with a normal job, and normal surroundings. There haven't been any more wars or upstarts that needed us, so I've given up on being a soldier permanently.
Even so, I still keep in touch with the guys as often as I can. Especially Duo, since he and I live pretty close to each other nowadays.
I saw that Kana had put on the necklace and was now looking into the mirror by the hallway.
I didn't realize, as I saw her, that she had grown to be so much like her mother, in every possible way. Well, almost every way. She had the same color eyes as me, though they were much softer.
She tied her hair up as I saw her pick up a picture of Kana that was on a table by the mirror. I guess pictures of her are all over the house.
"Dad?"
"Yeah?"
"Even though I can't remember her all that well, I still miss Mom."
I put down my newspaper on the coffee table.
"I do too."
"You know, I still have that bear she gave me in my room."
"Yeah, I know. And you still have the same dancing bear wallpaper on the walls of your room."
She smiled a little in embarrassment. I smiled back.
"What was she like when you two first met?"
"What's with all the questions?" I said half-chuckling as I got up from the couch.
"I don't know. I guess I'm just curious."
"Well, I have to admit, when we first met, I didn't really pay attention to her. It wasn't love at first sight, you know."
"Yeah, I know. Stuff like that usually happens in shoujo mangas."
I laughed a little.
"Once in a while they happen in real life."
"Yeah, I guess."
She put back the picture on the table.
"But I knew she was somehow special, since I smiled when I met her."
"How is that special?"
"Because back then, I rarely smiled at all."
"Oh."
She knew the reason why, since I told her about what had happened in A.C. 195, when we had to use our Gundams to keep the peace.
"Well...how did you fall in love with her?"
"You really want to know?"
She nodded.
"It was during a heavy rainstorm one night. She, I guess, accidentally came into my room after having gone out to get writing supplies. Well, she collapsed because of a fever and had to stay in my room. I don't really know why, but I guess I fell in love with her that night. There was just something about her that made me attracted to her."
"That sounds like a shoujo manga."
"Hey..."
She started laughing as the doorbell rang. Sakura ran to the door to get it, and as I walked over, I heard her say, "Hi Devon."
I looked over to see a boy the same age as Sakura, who looked remarkably like Hilde, standing there with his hands in the pockets of his slightly baggy blue jeans.
"Hey Sakura. Hi Mr. Barton."
"Hey Devon," I answered. I knew that he and Sakura were going out to see a movie, and I didn't really mind.
She grabbed her purse and kissed my cheek as she headed out.
"Bye Dad, I'll see you after the movie's over."
"Okay, bye." I waved as Sakura and Devon walked down the sidewalk and turned the corner.
As I closed the door, I thought to myself, "Kana would be proud to see Sakura grown up like this."
I leaned against the wall by the door.
I didn't know why at first, but my heart was pounding. That's when I felt it. I swear that I could feel Kana near me. Her warmth and her scent were recognizable.
I smiled and closed my eyes. She kissed me on the cheek, the same cheek that Sakura did, and left.
I held my cheek in my hand gently and felt a blush flit across my face.
I guess I will always love her. Nothing can change that, and no one can replace her.
I looked at the silver bracelet on my wrist, the locket making a slight jingling sound as I held it up.
I smiled a genuine smile and put my arm down.
Talking into air, I said, "Kana, my love for you will always exist, no matter what happens to us. And I hope that you're waiting for me...where ever you are."
A/N: HAHAHA!!! You guys thought that I was done, huh? Sorry for tricking you all, but this is actually the very very last part of my story. ^ ^ v
I actually wrote and drew the original doujinshi for this a while back, in June, I think, but I lost the papers, which sux. Anyway, the original story for this was a little bit different, but oh well. I guess you can say that this story is the improved version of it.
Yeah, so I hope you guys enjoyed the epilogue to my GW story. And I promise that this is the very last part. Please don't hurt me if ur mad that I tricked u guys. ^ ^; To all the loyal readers of this story, thanx for reading. I hope that I can find the inspiration to do another fic, but if u guys wanna help me, ur more than welcome.
My Love For You
