Epilogue
Years past and still Sakura and Kyo never saw each other like they promised. They became so busy they couldn't find time to see each other. Then, one mid December day, Kyo got a phone called. He stepped out of his bathroom and picked up the phone.
"Hello?" Kyo answered.
"Kyo, it's Sakura..." Came the voice from the other end.
Kyo gasped slightly. "Sakura?"
"Yes?"
"How...how did you get my number?" he asked in disbelief.
"Aya Satashi works with you and I asked her to see if she could find your number for me. How have you been? Things going ok for you?"
"Yeah, things have been great. I have a job now with Tokyo Industries as you probably already know. I have a small house. Oh, Tohru and Yuki got married last month." He smiled as he sat down in a brown chair.
"Oh that's wonderful! Send them my congrats." Her voice sounded cheerful.
"I will. How's life for you?" He looked out the window, watching the clouds.
"Oh things have been good. My parents are in good health and Ame's now a superintendent of a local school. I've been working on getting my degree for teaching older students. I should be graduating in September."
Kyo smiled. "That sounds great. Congratulations."
"Thanks. Hey, there's a reason I called you..."
"What is it?"
"Well, I was hoping I could see you. I mean, if you're not busy or anything."
Kyo could tell her voice sounded doubtful. "Yeah sure. Set a date and time and I'll meet you somewhere. How about I take you out for dinner?"
"Great! I'll be in town by Saturday. I'll see if I can come by your place. Where do you live at so I know where I'm going."
"78 Sensei Drive. Try and come around 7 if you can."
"I will. It was good talking to you Kyo-kun..."
He smiled.
"I've missed you a lot these past few years."
"Yeah, I've missed you too. I'll see you Saturday then."
"Saturday it is. Good-bye."
"Good-bye..." He hung up the phone and sat there in disbelief. 'After all these years, I finally get to see her again...'
The rest of the week past and Saturday came. It's now 6:30 P.M. at Kyo's house. He sat down in his favorite brown chair and waited. 'What if she doesn't show?' He sighed and then heard a knock at the door. He jumped up and nearly darted to the door. He looked at his suit to make sure he looked ok then opened the door.
"Why hello Sakura." Kyo bowed.
"Umm...sir? I have a letter for you." The young man stated.
Kyo looked up and quickly straightened himself out. "A letter? From whom?"
"From a young lady. I believe her name was...Ame."
Kyo took the letter. "Thank you." He then closed the door and looked at the envelope. He quickly tore it open and took out a small picture. The picture was of him and Sakura whenever they were 16. He had his arm around her and she was smiling brightly. He smiled and then read the small note.
Remember this picture? I hope you treat Sakura right. She loves you very much.
With love, Ame
P.s. Don't let her slip through your fingers Kyo.
'You don't have to worry about that Ame...' He looked at the picture again and then propped it up on a vase. He then walked back over to the chair and sat down. He glanced at his watch. 'Only 6:45? Man, it feels like I've been waiting for an hour.' He pulled his sleeve back over the watch and looked at the TV. "Why not?" He flipped it on and put on the news. They were talking about a new murderer out on the loose. He growled and shut it off quickly. He decided to just keep himself occupied by looking about the room. His eyes kept landing on the picture. He picked it up again and looked at it again. He sighed and then set it back down. He heard a knock at the door and jumped up. He darted to the door and then opened it.
"Sakura?" He was looking at the floor and then looked up to see her smiling face. She was dress in a long black spaghetti strap dress and high heels. Her hair flowed down her back and some of it fell over her shoulders.
She smiled at Kyo. "Hello Kyo."
Kyo smiled back. He wanted to lean forward to embrace her but knew the consequences. "Good to see you Sakura."
"It's good to see you too Kyo." She stared at him. "Shall we be going then?"
"Of course. I have the perfect place to take us." He smiled and then closed the door of his house, locking it. He pulled his car out of the garage waited for Sakura to get in. Together, they began to drive down the street. The radio was playing softly to a love song.
"Watching every motion
In my foolish
lover's game
On this endless
ocean
Finally lovers know
no shame
Turning and
returning
To some secret place
inside
Watching in slow
motion
As you turn around
and say
Take my breath away"
Sakura stared out the window as she listened to the song. She closed her eyes slightly and sighed quietly.
"Watching I keep
waiting
Still anticipating
love
Never hesitating
To become the fated
ones
Turning and
returning
To some secret place
to find
Watching in slow
motion
As you turn to me
and say
My love
Take my breath away"
"Sakura, we're here." He said quietly.
Sakura's eye opened and she smiled. She opened her door and got out of the car, shutting the door after her. She walked up to the sidewalk and looked at Kyo.
Kyo got out and shut his door. He then set the alarm and walked over to Sakura. He offered his arm, which she took, and together they began to walk into the small restaurant. A waiter seated them at a booth and handed them two menus. Kyo picked his up and browsed through it quickly. He then set it down and looked at Sakura. He watched as a few strands fell on her delicate face. He watched as tucked the strands behind her ear and he could feel himself grin.
Sakura set down her menu and looked up to see Kyo staring at her. She blushed lightly but smiled.
"So Kyo, how are you?" She asked.
Kyo came out of his trace and shrugged. "I'm ok. I've been busy with work and what not." He smiled. "What about you? You doing alright?"
She nodded. "Yeah, I'm just fine." She smiled.
Kyo could only smile back. 'I need to tell her...I need to tell her how I've felt about her since the day I met her...' He cleared his throat before he spoke.
"Sakura, there's been something I've been meaning to tell you for a very long time." He bit his lip slightly.
Sakura could feel her heart in her throat but she nodded. "Continue."
"Well..." He took a deep breath. "I love you. I've loved you since the first time I saw you. Now whether you feel the same or not is your choice but I needed to tell you that I really love you..."
Sakura's eyes began to tear as she listened to Kyo. "Kyo...I love you too!" She smiled as tears ran down her cheeks.
Kyo smiled and then got down on one knee. "I thought I might need this sometime..."He pulled out a small black box and opened it to reveal a small golden band with a small diamond in the middle of it. "Sakura Aya Kaoki, will you marry me?"
Sakura gasped and looked at Kyo. She then nodded. "Yes, I will."
Kyo grinned and gentle grabbed her hand, slipping the ring on her finger, smiling all the while. He looked up into Sakura's violet eyes and smiled. "I love you."
Sakura smiled. "I love you too."
Kyo stood up and pulled Sakura into a sweet embrace. "Don't ever leave me..."
"Kyo, the curse. It's gone!" Sakura seemed amazed.
Kyo then took notice at this fact and smiled. "This will make this night even more unforgettable."
Sakura nodded and kissed his cheek. She pulled him closer and began to whisper. "It's amazing how fame and fortune brought love to two people..."
