Carne's Note- Miss Sakyr had a little too much fun at her sisters party. So as Moo is trying to get her out of her Japanese food and truth and dare induced stupor, I am doing the note. This one skips ahead about ten years ahead, so Akiha and Megumi are 16 years old. The next generation of the Jyuunishi is beginning. Suggestions and reviews are always welcome to some extent. Meaning, please keep them intelligent. Miss Sakyr may not mind, but I am not overly fond of bakas. (Moo- Carne, what are you doing? Stop threatening the readers!) Stupid pig...

The past ten years have been peaceful. The years come and go, and not much changes. Of the Jyuunishi, only Kyou, Momiji, and Kagura are parents now. Ritsu-nee has stopped wearing womens kimonos. He wears mens now. He has gotten married to Arashi-san, a close friend of his that went to school with him.
Yuki and Machi, along with Hiro and Kisa, are both expecting. These are their third and first children respectively. Hiro and Kisa have been trying so long to have a child of their own. She has miscarried once before. I am worried for her health. Tori-nii has put her on bed rest, just to be safe.
Akiha and Megumi have become such wonderful people.
Akiha has become a mix of her mother and of Hanajima. Its scary at times. She has her mothers looks, but the quiet and observant demeanor of Hanajima. She also reads denpa waves now. She doesn't read thoughts, but she is able to feel others emotions. Like an empath.
Megumi is like a mix of Yuki and Kyou, which makes Akiha look perfectly normal. He has the shyness of the two, and has the same charisma as Yuki did. But, when it comes to martial arts, he becomes a younger Kyou. It's the one thing that he enjoys the most outside of school. The only thing that he is as good at, is sewing surprisingly. Odd combination, but oh well.
But, the calm days always come to an end.
Akiha fainted today. At the same time, tragedy struck.
Kisa went into early labor. She died giving birth to her daughter Hokuto.
On his way to the hospital, Hiro was in an accident. He joined Kisa shortly after Hokuto-chan's birth.
The whole family is devastated.
Ritsu-nee and Arashi-san have decided to raise Hokuto-chan on their own. Rather, she likes them the best of all of us.

Arashi and I have always wanted our own child.
We never thought that it would happen like this.
By all rights, Hiro-san and Kisa-san should be rasing this lovely child. Hokuto-san should be with her real mother and father.
But, we can't always have what we want.
Her parents are watching over her from the heavens. And so, 'hokuto', the big dipper is where she can always look to speak with them.
Arashi and I have spoken to Akiha-san, and she is letting us take in the future Jyuunishi, that may be rejected by their parents. We hope that this will not happen, but one may never know.

Kisa-nee and Hiro-nii...
Its been almost three months since then. The next Ram has been born. His name is Nozomu.
Even though time has passed, I have not given up on my dream.
Once Nozomu and the next Tiger are able to speak, I shall change the Banquet, whether the Jyuunishi like it or not. I am tired of watching the children and spouses of the Jyuunishi have to spend New Years apart from their loved ones.
This segregation must stop.
