A/N: I would like to say that I do not own the fan fiction "Underpants Quotes" by Lika Amanaka. I also do not own Fruits Basket or Gundam Wing.
Epilogue
Kisa was dressed in a floor length royal blue strapless dress. Her arm rested on her husbands arm as they descended the grand staircase. Trailing behind them were two little girls and a young boy. All three were dressed in their best. Kisa's husband was wearing a black tuxedo. Soph was talking to Aki and her husband who was at least four years older than Aki. Soph looked up at her friend and smiled. 'So the curse has been broken after all,' she thought. Suddenly the young orange haired boy behind Kisa spotted a silver haired kid across the hall. Yukino saw the orange haired boy and blocked his way, gently scolding the boy about being in a high class place and running. Yumi, a girl standing behind Yukino, stuck her head out from behind her aunt and stuck her toungue out at the boy. The boy stuck his toungue out right back but his mother was soon racing after the eight year old. Then in the process of bring the boy out of the room to scold him she ran into Toshi and Taki. The couple had gotten married when Kisa wasn't looking. Taki was holding an eighteen month old child. Kisa got distracted from the disobedient boy and started cooing over the child. Kyo glared at his wife for a minute then went after his young replica. He was followed by Kyoko and Kyoto, the orangey-brown haired five year old twins. A brown haired young woman stopped the twins and told them to stand still for a picture. She was wearing black pants and a light blue tank top. The girls smiled for the picture. Then Kisa saw the woman, gasped and cried, "Emi!" She ran over and hugged the girl. The girl returned the hug. Then they realized that Emi was the girl that their mother told them all the stories about. She was French. She wasn't a graduate of Washburn High School because she moved back to France. The party they were at now was for Aki. It was Aki's 34th birthday and everyone was in a celebratory mood. Emi was with someone that rang a bell in Kisa's mind. Actually three people.
"Um, Kisa, I would like you to meet my boyfriend, Duo. And this is Relena and..."
"Heero," Kisa suddenly interupted.
"How did you know?" asked Heero, looking at her suspiciously.
"Oh, it's not hard to know. In fact, I have the evidence with me. My son, Heero, was named after a character in an anime. It's also his favorite anime. I thought he might get bored while he was here." She handed Heero one of the Gundam Wing DVD's. "Oh, and these are my two girls, Kyoko and Kyoto." She patted the five year olds on their heads. Heero looked at the front of the DVD case to find a profile of himself. It wasn't long before Heero (the younger) ran through the crowed with Yumi in hot persuit. Kisa stopped her son. "Hey Heero. I want you to meet someone." The young boy looked up into the face of the Heero Yuy. The young boy's jaw dropped. Then his eyes turned to Duo Maxwell. If possible his jaw dropped farther. Then Kyo came over.
"Well at least someone stopped the little brats," he commented, kissing his wife on the cheek.
"Kyo, this is Duo Maxwell, Emi's boyfriend and her friends Heero and Relena."
"You look familiar, have I met you before?" asked Kyo.
"Um, I don't believe we have met before," replied Heero.
Then Heero Kyo Sohma (that's the young boy's full name) piped up, recovering from shock and asked Duo, "Do you really pilot a gundam? Are you really the God of Death? You know mom reads these things called fan fictions about you guys. I think she's addicted to it. Dad says sometimes you can't pry her away from the computer, not even to make dinner. You know episode..."
"Heero," Kisa interupted with a flash of warning hinted in her voice. Then she bent down and whispered something in her son's ears. Suddenly his stare became hard and cold. Heero Yuy stared down at the young boy. Relena looked at Heero Sohma and noted how much like Heero Yuy he looked at that moment. She burst out laughing. Then he switched and began ranting about injustice and weak women. Relena continued to howl in laughter. Now Duo was joining Relena gasping "Wu-man!" A smile began to crack on the older Heero's lips. Then Heero Sohma switched again. This time he pretended to hold absolutely still as Yumi decided she would play the part of Catherine. Yumi pretended to throw knives at Heero. Mean while, Duo, who was still howling in laughter, didn't notice the two young girls sneak up behind him. Suddenly the twins had jumped up on Duo's back and began to pull out his braid. Aki looked up at the mess of small twerps and Gundam pilots. Then she did a double take.
"Gundam pilots?" she whispered to Soph. Soph looked over to the crowed watching Duo trying to shake off the twin girls.
"And Relena Peacecraft," muttered Soph. They watched as Kisa's son Heero performed skits of the different characters personalities.
"I must meet these Gundam pilots," replied Aki, "After all, this is my party they're crashing." She briskly walked over to the group, stopping once to say hi to Toshi.
"So, it's happened again," she said when she reached the group, "Kyoko and Kyoto, get off pilot 02's back. Heero and Yumi, stop your pointless skits for a moment." Kisa pulled out a DVD from her bag that had Duo and Deathscythe on the cover. Duo looked at it as Kisa passed the DVD to Heero and told him to take all the children to the TV room on the second floor. Heero Yuy was still holding the first DVD in his hands.
"How did Relena Peacecraft, Heero Yuy, and Duo Maxwell get invited to my birthday party?" asked Aki.
"I invited them, Aki," replied Emi, "Duo is my boyfriend, and we thought it would be cool if we brought along some of our friends."
"Hm, okay, you're off the hook. But if the other three show up, I'm not going to be in a good mood." With that Aki stalked off. Duo gulped. Heero glared. Then he suddenly remembered he was still holding Kisa's DVD. He handed it back. Kisa took it from him.
"So what was Heero talking about fan fiction?" asked Duo. Kisa stared at Duo, suddenly remembering the last fan fiction she read about called "Underpants Quotes". Soon she was having uncontrolable fits of laughter. Kyo escorted his wife away, but not before Heero caught a phrase the seemingly crazy woman uttered. She said something like "being the God of Underpants forever".
When Kyo came back he explained that Kisa was addicted to a Fan Fiction website and was constantly reading the stories posted there. She often burst out into laughing fits while reading the stories there. Then he handed Relena a small packet of papers. "Kisa told me to have you read this. It's one of her favorites." Relena took the packet of papers and read. Soon she was laughing so hard she had to clutch her stomache it hurt so bad. When Heero tried to take the papers to see what was so hillarious she yanked it away. It wasn't until Duo, sneaky as ever grabbed them that they got out of her grasp. As Duo began to read them, he began to laugh as hard if not harder than Relena was. Until he got farther down the page. Then he stopped and stared at the page. "That's not nice!" Relena was still rolling in laughter. Heero was unsuccessfully giving her the death glare. Finally, Kisa came out composed. She took the papers from Duo and stuffed them back in her bag. Then she went upstairs to fetch her three kids and the DVD they were watching.

Later that night, Emi and Kisa were at Kisa's house after successfully putting the tired children to bed. They both held steaming cups of tea.
"So how is everything with Duo?" asked Kisa.
"Oh, wonderful. How about you and Kyo?" asked Emi, her French accent becoming more apparent.
"Just peachy!" Kisa said with a sarcastic tone. "I'm joking. It's all quite well. Heero is taking karate with Kyo. Kyoto and Kyoko are your average over excited and hyper five year olds, and they have taken up ballet, tap, and jazz. They also do horseback riding and are a level below Heero in martial arts. Kyo is being Kyo, running a dojo. And well, I've gotten my fifth part in a broadway show."
"Broadway? I thought you were going for Boston Ballet, or San Fransisco Ballet, or New York City Ballet."
"Oh, I was at ABT for a while but then I decided that I could go for broadway, too. Besides, Broadway is more fun for the kids."
"Ah." Then they heard a knock on the door. Kisa went and answered the door. Kyo was standing there holding up a very drunk Duo.
"Heero Yuy somehow convinced Duo here to get into a shot contest. He's out. Emi, I think you should stay here for the night."
"Okay, Orangy." Then Kisa and Emi went up stairs, laying down a bunch of paper towels nearly five inches think across the entire bathroom floor. Then Kyo came up behind them and dropped Duo on the mess. But unfortunately for Duo, a little surprise was in store for him.
At two o'clock in the morning the twins woke up for their nightly bathroom break. Kyoko and Kyoto did this every morning without their parents knowledge. Oh, yes, they had taught themselves to use the big potty which was why they were supposedly potty trained in one day. No one seemed to notice the messes in the bathroom when the girls were two. But they hadn't known that "Aunt" Emi (A/N: I was gonna make her Auntie Em. Who can say Wizard of Oz?) and "Uncle" Duo were staying over. Since they couldn't turn on any lights for secrecy reasons they didn't see the paper towels and the man lying on the floor of their bathroom. That is, they didn't notice until Kyoto stepped on something incredebly squishy and muscular and they heard a groan. Kyoko nearly screamed. Kyoto was always the braver of the two. Then they heard a voice say, "Man my head hurts." The girls eyes slowly adjusted to the dark and they saw their braided friend lying on the bathroom floor.
"Uncle Duo?" asked Kyoto.
"Huh? Whose there?" asked the hung over pilot.
"Kyoko and Kyoto. We had to use the bathroom. Why are you on the bathroom floor?"
"Oh, your father must have thrown me in here. I got drunk last night."
"What's drunk mean?" asked Kyoko inocently.
"It means he drank to much alcohol, smart one," repremanded Kyoto, "Remember when Daddy came home that one night and Mommy wouldn't let us go any where near him. He was acting like a loony-bin escappee."
"Are you still drunk?" asked Kyoko.
"No," responded Duo, "Just have a bit of a hang over."
"What's that?" asked the very clueless Kyoko. It's starting to become apparent who the brains behind the potty training operation had been.
"Goofball, that's what Mommy called the headache Daddy had the morning after he got drunk."
"You remind me of Relena," said Duo, pointing at Kyoko. He still couldn't get the twins strait.
"Kyoko's like Relena?" asked Kyoto. Then she looked at her twin more closely. "I never noticed that before. That's funny." She began to giggle.
"You two need to use the bathroom? You better go. Since I'm probaly quarentined to the room, I'll hop in the shower and shut the curtain," Duo said.
Duo quickly slipped into the shower while the five year olds did their business. Then they flushed the toliet and left their "uncle" on his own in the paper towel padded bathroom. But rest was not going to come to the gundam pilot. No way. Five minutes later when Duo was trying to sleep, Heero Kyo Sohma walked into the bathroom. Since he had inherited his fathers cat-like eyes instead of his mothers blind ones, he saw Duo lying on the floor the minute he entered. So he turned on heel and left for the down stairs bathroom, but not before showering Duo with bad words. (These were not swears but bad words that could be swears.)
Half an hour after Heero Sohma's appearance, Emi came in to check on her hung over boyfriend. It was at this point that Duo would have probably fallen asleep in his girlfriends lap. But for some reason Heero Yuy, Chang Wufei, Trowa Barton, and Quatre Winner decided to show up on the Sohma's doorstep. They rang the doorbell, which was quite loud, waking up a very annoyed orange top. He went to the door, relized who it was, showered them with swears, then had to let them in so they could check on their hung over friend. (Hello? It's 2:40 in the morning!)
Two hours and twenty minutes later, a very awake Hilde dragging a sleepy Relena, a sleepy Dorothy, a half awake Cathy, and a more than half awake Sally came and rang the door bell. This got the eight year old Heero out of bed. He went down stairs and opened the door. He yelled about very early morning callers, then told them that Duo was in the upstairs bathroom making everyone's lives impossible. But since it was five in the morning and Heero would have to wake up in half an hour for morning training anyway, and since Kyo was already up because of the visitors who came two hours and twenty minutes before, they started training early. They were shortly joined by Wufei who wanted to warm up anyway, and Kyoto who was graggin a very resistant twin.
Duo got to hang out with the twins alot, but he hung out with Kyoto the most. The girl was alot like him he decided. Kyoko was just clueless. Relena decided to take the girlier of the two twins under her wing. It was during the weekend that Duo taught the tomboy twin about lockpicking and being discrete. The girl picked it up quickly and she and Duo spent the weekend playing spying games on the adults. Mean while, Relena had taken Kyoko shopping. By the end of the weekend, Kyoko had her half of the twins' room painted pink, she had a canopy bed, and her own vanity table. Meanwhile, Duo and Kyoto had taken the liberty of painting her half black. She now had a bunkbed that had a desk underneith. She also had one of Heero Yuy's old laptops. Somehow Duo had gotten the non-responsive pilot to teach the girl about hacking. The girl had also managed to slip into Heero's room when the pilot wasn't looking and "borrow" his anti-hacker, spyware, and virus program. She hacked into the disc and installed it on her laptop. Now she had the perfect computer for "spy work" as she and Duo called it. On the desk part of her bunkbed she had a lamp and her laptop. Her laptop was also hooked up to the family network so that she could practice hacking into documents on her mother's computer. Kisa had created a special folder on her computer called, "For The Young Hacker". It contained documents that were okay for the child to hack into. A black curtain hung over the opening to the desk space so that she could have privacy while she practiced. Then Duo and Emi helped the girls install a curtain to run between the two sides of the room. It was black on one side and pink on the other. When the weekend was over, the pilots and the girls all had to leave so they could continue to work. The Sohma family was sad to see them leave but knew they would see each other again someday.
Kyoto hugged Duo really hard. "You'll come back, right?" she asked.
"I have to come back. You're going to become the next shinigami, right?"
"Uh huh."
"So keep practicing and I'll see you again, okay?"
"Uh huh."
Two weeks later, Heero showed up again with Relena in tail and he began to teach the girl how to use a gun. Her mother joined the lesson, knowing full well what was going on. Heero also brought his son, who was about Kyoto and Kyoko's age to the lesson. Relena would take Kyoko to fun places while the gun lesson was going on. Chris Yuy was soon Kyoto's best friend. And life continued on.
In high school, Kisa, Aki, Soph, Toshi, Taki, and Emi had met the characters from Fruits Basket. 15 years later, Kisa's children met the characters from Gundam Wing. What would be next? Who knows? As Duo had stepped out that door he said, "Keep practicing and I'll see you again." Those words echoed in the five year old Kyoto's heart for a very long time. So that's what she did. She kept practicing. And Kisa watched her daughter improve over the years, and she knew what was in store for her young daughter. She knew that fate would come to pass, and she had to be there to help protect the world they lived in.
A/N: So, here is the end to Is It My Imagination?! Okay, there is a sequel to this that I am writing about Kyoto. It's called Kyo's Daughter, Shinigami's Heir! I hope you enjoyed this and I hope you enjoy the sequel! This has been Kagura Tora, signing off!
