Chapter 8: Aftermath: A Love Reached

Kyo Sohma waited at the alter for his bride to come. His eyes dazzled like never before, his smile serene and gentle. His ginger hair was combed nicely, silky and smooth. He looked handsome; black tux with a white tie and a rose in the pocket of his tuxedo's vest. He had grown some, but the most beautiful part was the dazzle in his eyes.

All the Sohma's were there. Shigure was dressed in his black suit, hair nice and styled. He sat in between Hatori and Aya, going on and on with Aya as Hatori decided to remain mute about his two friends babbling. Hatori—yet again—was asked to watch Momiji during the wedding. The golden haired boy laughed and smiled looking around as more people entered.

Hatsuharu—or Haru—was sitting in a pew, his nice black suit throwing the look along with snowy white hair and a black hairline. His silver optics was scanning the room, a slight smile on his face. He greeted more people as they walked by, being gentle and his voice calm. Hopefully he wouldn't go Black.

Ritsu was dressed nicely, almost like everyone else but was wearing just a white shirt and black slacks, along with a black vest. His hair was up, like usual, his smile was calm and joyful.

Kagura was bright, apparently. Her hair was nicely tucked into a bun; since it grew a little she could hold it up. Her eyes dazzled at the fact that her Kyo was getting married. Not jealous one bit, not at all. Just happy...surprisingly. Before the wedding, Kyo could tell she was sort of down, but he cheered her up saying that he'd always remember her, and have her as family. She smiled, remembering that he was in her life forever anyways. That was just as good

Uo and Hana stood behind Kyo and to the left a bit. Dressed nicely and acting like their normal selves. Uo was smiling and talking to Hana, as Hana in a monotone just smiled and continued on the conversation. They had both grown so much since high school, both graduating and successful in life. Uo wore a white gown and was slick down her body, her hair in a nice braid that hung loosely over her shoulder. Her aqua eyes dazzled in the light of the day Hana were a light purple, keeping on her usual quaint style, but also not trying to be too dark. Her hair was tied up, and her eyes were slight lavender than dark. They were both mature and beautiful women now.

Out came Kisa, the adorable little girl. Her hair was down to her shoulders, and she skipped merrily down the aisle in a cute white gown that fell down to her knees, curling up and puffing out slightly. She tossed out lilies and white roses, just as Kyo had asked her too. He helped her pick them out and they enjoyed the time they had...but Shigure didn't like the fact he was asked to pay, but kindly did it thanks to Kyo's begging and Kisa's cuteness.

Hiro came out next, being the ring-bearer. He matured a little, now in eighth grade along with Kisa. He still bared his sharp tongue and sly charm, as did Kisa bare her cuteness and his heart. The rings he held were golden and circular, simple rings. Kyo requested them, he felt as if to much would just be too much money...and Shigure was starting to run low!

Hiro stood to the right of Kyo along with Kisa, gripping her hand and smiling softly at her. She smiled back, pecking him on the cheek slightly. He had finally admit how much he loved her, not to long ago...she replied back saying she felt the same, and then they were bound together.

Kyo felt himself grow slightly nervous, the heat of outside starting to pack in on him. What if she really didn't want to be part of his life? What if she said that all...just to pity him?

Tohru Honda came out from the doors. The whole church hushed, like a blanket was thrown over the Sohma's and other guests.

Yuki Sohma, Year of the Rat, his arm was locked around Tohru's as he walked her down the aisle, with a soft smile on. Some girls in the crowd dazzled at seeing him walk down the aisle of lilies in and roses.

Tohru was the most beautiful thing Kyo's eyes had lain upon. Her long white gown fell along her body, silk and lace wrapped together. A golden obi was wrapped around her waist, a large bow tied in the back with flowing silk and lace flying in an invisible wind. Her hair was tied up in a bun, two strands dangling over her shoulders in her usual fashion. Her arms were coated with the silk and the sleeves ended off draping down along her sides. Her fingers were curled around a bouquet of red roses that shined from dew, and white lilies that sparkled in the sunlight around them. The ground was coated in a light pink as cherry blossoms broke from the branches they had homed and now danced along and aside Miss Honda.

Kyo's eyes softened as Tohru came to him, beauty and all. Her azure eyes dazzled as she locked them on Kyo's standing in front of the neko. But now...he wasn't just a 'stupid cat' or had a 'true form'...he was free. Because of her. Because of Tohru.

After the vows had been said and the promises kept, Kyo and Tohru turned to each other, crimson-blood eyes locking with cerulean-dream eyes. Kyo placed a hand on her cheek, wiping away her stray tears as she stared up at him angelically. Tohru placed her hands against Kyo's chest as she closed her eyes softly, her lashes caressing her cheeks as she leaned in towards Kyo. Kyo smiled as he closed his eyes, and felt the eyes of all Sohma's staring at them. They all waited for Tohru—a normal 'un-cursed' girl—to kiss and be forever in love with the Cat of the Zodiac...the one no one else could reach.

But Tohru Honda—the Miracle of the Sohmas—sure as damned did.

Kyo lifted his finger to the corner of her eye, wiping away the tears before he leaned in and shared the kiss that broke the Zodiac Curse forever.

THE END

My Notes: sooo!! How'd y'all like it? Nice happy ending, surprisingly. Some of my stories are all sort of sad ending-ish. Did you get the ending?!
