Hello, this is going to be the final chapter of Lost and Found. It was meant to be a short fic and I want to start wrapping things up.

Thanks to everyone that reviewed.

CCS doesn't belong to me, it belongs to CLAMP. Enjoy the last chapter!

Chiharu rushed back to her house, carrying the struggling kitten in her arms. She didn't slow down until the kitten mewed demandingly. She stopped to catch her breath and look down at the cat. "What am I doing?" Chiharu thought. "This isn't helping anything..."

"Hey, Chiharu!" a voice called from behind her. Chiharu whirled around and wound up looking Naoko straight in the eyes. Naoko looked down at the kitten and smiled. "Kawaii! What's her name?"

"A...Ami..." Chiharu muttered. Naoko stared at her.

"That can't be what YOU named her. You always said that you'd name a kitten Minako because that's what you always wanted to be called," Naoko said suspiciously.

Chiharu's eyes widened. "I don't even remember telling you that!"

Naoko chuckled. "Something you want to tell me?"she asked casually.

Chiharu shifted from foot to foot nervously. "Well..." she began.

"Wow..." Naoko breathed after Chiharu had explained what had happened with Yamazaki. "He must really be serious, Chiharu. I mean, he's going to such lengths to get you to fall in love with him..."

Chiharu blushed. "I don't know why he's doing that...and I had this dream..."

Naoko looked up, curious. "What kind of dream?" she asked.

As Chiharu explained her dream to her friend, Naoko noticed how she shifted from side to side, turning away at certain moments and red the whole time she spoke. Sometimes she paused as if trying to remember her dream, but her eyes were half closed in blissful remembrance. Naoko smiled inside. Chiharu didn't even know what was happening herself.

"Well," she began, "I'd say that the mountain symbolizes something that you want to hang onto. And Yamazaki must be trying to get you to let go...and that's why he appeared in your dream." Naoko winked. "Even in your dreams he tries to woo you," she said, causing Chiharu to blush even more.

"Well, it's not going to happen any more. I told him to stop," Chiharu said resolutely.

Naoko looked at Chiharu in surprise. "Really? That surprises me. He doesn't seem like the type to give up so easily." She scratched her chin. "I wonder if he might have something else in mind..." she muttered.

Chiharu frowned and shifted the kitten's weight in her arms. "Well, that's just not going to happen." She walked away towards her house.

Naoko watched her go, sighed, and walked away. She'd have to figure things out on her own.

For the next week, Yamazaki made a point of not talking to Chiharu at all. He'd still tell stories but not try to engage her personally in conversation. He'd talk to all of her friends, but seemed to completely ignore her. However, Chiharu knew that he wasn't completely ignoring her because of the little things he did. He always seemed to be looking at her out of the corner of his eye.

One day, Yamazaki didn't come to class at all. Chiharu was surprised. It was unusual for him to miss school. She found herself staring at his empty desk.

When she got out of school that day, Sakura called after her, "Wait, Chiharu! Come back!" Chiharu stopped and turned. Sakura was running full speed, nearly out of breath.

"What's wrong, Sakura-chan?" Chiharu asked. Sakura took a couple of seconds to catch her breath and then grabbed Chiharu's arm.

"Listen, Chiharu-chan! There's something you should know!" She let go of her arm abruptly and seemed to shy away. "Sy-Syaoran-kun just told me...Yamazaki-kun is going to be leaving tomorrow. He's moving to Tokyo."

Chiharu took a step backwards. She clutched her arm, trying to steady herself. Her mind was buzzing furiously, confused. Yamazaki? Leaving? Impossible. He wouldn't do that. A million other thoughts coursed through her mind.

"Chiharu-chan?" Sakura said tenderly. "I know it's sudden but...I guess he didn't want you to know..."

"That's impossible! He would have told me!" Chiharu finally gasped out. But, no...She had told him to stay away from her. Could it be that he had taken it too literally?

"Chiharu, are you all right?" Sakura asked again.

"I'm fine!" Chiharu said in a high pitchy voice that sounded so unlike her own. "I'm just fine...I just need to think..." Chiharu started moving toward her house, wobbling slightly from the shock.

What on Earth would prompt this move? He'd never said anything before. Was it...her fault? She shuddered slightly. If she'd caused him to go away...

Why was she caring in the first place? Yamazaki had been nothing but trouble to her. It wasn't as if...he had meant something to her.

Even as Chiharu was thinking this, she knew she was lying to herself. He did mean something...he meant a lot.

Chiharu lay in her bed that night remembering everything. Yamazaki had been so kind to her and she'd said nothing good to him. She was so stubborn...

That would be the thing to do, wouldn't it? She should go and talk to him before he left. She'd apologize. Chiharu nodded slightly in satisfaction and went to sleep.

Yamazaki walked slowly through the woods near his house, carrying a near empty sack over his shoulders. The only thing in it was a pink silk ribbon. He smiled to himself. Chiharu had left this behind. He wouldn't give it to her of course. He'd just wait for her to come to him. He stopped and waited until he heard running footsteps and then he started walking again.

"Yamazaki-kun!" Chiharu cried out. He kept walking, stifling a laugh. "Yamazaki-kun!" She yelled again, louder this time. When he still didn't stop, she ran toward him. When she was a foot away from him, he stopped abruptly and stuck his foot out. Chiharu cried out in alarm and closed her eyes preparing herself for touch down. Yamazaki caught her as she fell.

"I thought you'd come here," he said, slightly laughing.

Chiharu blushed and struggled to regain control of the situation. She thrust herself upward and pushed away from Yamazaki. Then she blushed even deeper and mentally told herself to stop it. She was here to apologize, not to start another fight.

"So, what's up? You look like you want to say something," Yamazaki said casually, turning away from her. He grinned. He'd do anything to get her to figure it out.

"Uh, Yamazaki-kun...um..." Chiharu stammered out. "I..." Chiharu just couldn't seem to make the words come out of her mouth. She decided to try a different tactic. "I heard you were leaving...any particular reason?" She winced. That sounded pathetic.

Yamazaki shook with silent laughter but quickly controlled himself. "Oh, my dad's transferring to a better job. We have to move to the city to be able to commute."

Chiharu looked down and tried to figure out what to say. "Um...I..." She broke her concentration completely and grabbed his arm.

"Yamazaki, I'm sorry! You've been nothing but good to me, and I've just been horrible! Not that it's completely my fault, you were pretty bad too! I mean, we might share the blame equally! What I'm trying to say is..." she paused to gather her breath, seeing that she was rambling. "...Yamazaki-kun, please don't go..."

Those were the words that he was waiting for. He turned around and pulled Chiharu close to him. She buried her head in his chest, drowning completely in emotion. "Chiharu-chan...I've got something to tell you...I think you should know that before anything else..."

Chiharu nodded, almost afraid, and closed her eyes. She knew what was coming. Yamazaki leaned in close to her ear and whispered one phrase into her ear.

"I'm not moving."

Chiharu's eyes snapped open, wide with shock. She pulled away from Yamazaki and looked straight into his eyes. For a brief moment, Yamazaki saw hope in her eyes. Then that hope changed to anger as she pummeled him with her fists. "YOU IDIOT!" she screamed.

Yamazaki winced with pain and then laughed aloud. "Itai! That hurts!" He grinned. "What's the matter?" he said, grinning.

Chiharu thrust her face straight into his and yelled. "You are such a moron! You know I care about you! Why on Earth did you spread a rumor like that?"

Yamazaki's smile faded. He looked at Chiharu strangely. "Actually...I didn't know that, Chiharu-chan."

Chiharu blinked and then gasped aloud at the realization at what she said. "Wh...Wait a minute! That's not...you don't...wait!" she stammered.

Yamazaki smiled slowly and dug into his sack. He pulled out the ribbon and gave it to the red faced Chiharu. "Here...uh...you left this behind..." he blushed unexpectedly. "Um, how's Ami? You're mom didn't object, did she?"

Chiharu shook her head. "Oh, no! We've been meaning to get a cat..." Her voice trailed off as she tied the ribbon around her wrist. They stayed silent for a few moments.

"You know," he mumbled, "I haven't been avoiding you."

Chiharu nodded. "I know," she whispered.

Yamazaki smiled. "That's good. I was worried that you'd start to miss me. You're scary when you're mad."

Chiharu frowned. "What was that?"

Yamazaki laughed. "I'm glad you're back to your old self. You aren't Chiharu if you aren't angry about something."

Chiharu was severely offended. "You know, I'm not always angry! You just do a lot of things to make me angry! You're just so dumb! You," she started to continue but Yamazaki hugged her around the shoulders. Chiharu gasped. She almost wished that she hadn't come at all. She was about to pull away, when Yamazaki tilted her chin up. Then, he did something remarkable.

He opened his eyes.

Chiharu's own eyes widened with wonder. Yamazaki's eyes seemed so brown that they were black. They were like cups of coffee just after being brewed. Chiharu's mouth moved soundlessly as she tried to speak. Eventually, she cleared her throat. "Your eyes...they're beautiful..." she mumbled. She looked down. That sounded so stupid to her.

"Look at me, Chiharu-chan..." Yamazaki whispered. She looked up and realized her own fatal mistake. He leaned in closer to her and kissed her softly. Chiharu stood stunned before closing her eyes and kissing him back.

"I can't believe you actually did that..." Chiharu said after he let her go. "How did you know I wouldn't do anything about it?"

Yamazaki smiled with satisfaction. "Oh, I just knew. I'm not really surprised."

Chiharu grinned, grabbed Yamazaki's hand and walked with him toward his house.

"So what are we going to tell people?" Yamazaki asked.

Chiharu fingered a strand of her hair that had been pulled loose. "Well, I'm going to tell Naoko. I know she won't tell anybody else."

Yamazaki nodded. "I'm definitely going to tell Li-kun. He's good with secrets."

Chiharu looked at him. "But he told Sakura that you were moving."

Yamazaki smiled. "That's because I told him to tell her. He was in on the plan."

Chiharu looked at her feet. "Maybe what we should be wondering what we should tell each other?"

Yamazaki nodded. "I think you already know that," he said.

Chiharu stopped walking. She looked Yamazaki straight in the eye. "I think I'm in love with you," she said softly.

Yamazaki nodded. "Well..." he said, squeezing her hand, "I know I'm in love with you."

Chiharu smiled, pure bliss etched on her face. "That I know is no lie."

Yay! Another story completed!
