EPILOGUE:
The air was gently blowing the pale clouds, and from somewhere, soft whispers were heard.
"Yusuke..."
"Hai?"
"I feel light."
"It is so peaceful."
"Yes. It is."
"But, will we ever come back to earth?"
"I don't know."
"If we will, let's go back together alright?"
"Of course. We'll be together. We'll never be apart."
A man held his partner's hand; good thing the white room was cozy. They could have occupied the private one, but there was no vacant room. At least the nurses and doctors were kind enough to have found them one, not too crowdy for two patients to share. Across was a pair like them; the woman on the bed and her better half beside her, cuddling her. The atmosphere was very serene, and somehow it helped lessening the tense they were feeling. The door flew open, two nurses walked inside, both carrying newborns. The scenario became emotional, as the nurses handed each tiny figures to their respective guardians. The two couples stared at the babies on their hands. They looked at each other and exchanged sweet smiles.
"We had a girl." said the lady on their right.
"We had a boy." the man replied.
"First child?" his wife asked addressing to the couple across.
"Yes." was the answer of the tear-streaked mother.
"We'll name him Yosuke. It's my husband's name. I'm Togashi Kimiko."
"I'm Takahashi Hana. My husband, Touya and our little angel, Kioko."
"Takahashi? Do you live at the apartment couple of blocks from the 'Itadakimasu Ramen Shop'?" Kimiko asked.
"Hai!" nodded the two.
"We're your new neighbor! We just transferred two days ago, and then I was rushed to here." she explained.
"Really? That's nice! We're gonna look at each other's kids." said Hana.
"Hai! And they'll be the best of friends!" Kimiko giggled. The two husbands chuckled. The two nurslings moved and yawned. "I think they loved the idea." Kimiko added, and they were amused.
The sun was beginning to set, as half of the world started to prepare dinner. Soft whispers were like the blowing wind. Smooth and gentle.
"Now I can still watch over you, Yusuke."
"And I can still protect you, Keiko."
AUTHOR'S NOTE: So? It's complete! Yay! And, well…I had to add that to make up for that very sand ending. Should I write more fics or do I just suck I should stay a frustrated fanfic writer?! Heheh…Leave reviews, guys! Thanks a bunch!!!
