Epilogue

This is going to be in a third person's view. Not kyou's pov anymore. I just thought that it's easier on the readers.

"Hatori? Look, if that kuso nezumi hadn't interrupt me, I would have done better! Damn that nezumi! Ruining my morning with Ha-chan..."

Kyou slammed both his fists at the wall he was leaning against a few times and tugged his waist length hair.

"AARRRHH! BAKA NEZUMI!" Kyou hollered so that Yuki could hear it even if he was at the other end of the Sohma main house.

After a few seconds, Kyou decided to try for Hatori's forgiveness again.

"Hatori! Come on! You don't seemed to be such a petty person! I promise I will make it up to you! How about tonight?"

Hatori, who was sitting on the carpeted floor of their bedroom, had been staring at the gift Kyou had given to him for their first anniversary.

"You've been staring at that thing for half an hour already... please...? At least don't spoil the mood for tonight's dinner? You made that reservation remember?"

Kyou slid his hands around Hatori waist from behind and snuggled into his neck. "Ha-chan...?"

Hatori sighed. "I'm not blaming you for this but... it's a little too exaggerated... isn't it?"

Hatori held the hand-made sweater up.

"I told you it was an accident... wait no, Yuki did it on purpose! He disturbed me while I was knitting this for you!"

Kyou raised his hand to point at the flaws of the sweater.

"It's all his fault! Look! This- this shorter left sleeve and this overly long v-neck and this too-short-"

Hatori pulled Kyou's arm down and placed it with the other hand at his waist.

"Kyou... admit it. You are just bad at making clothes. I'll make you clothes. Sweater, shirts, pants and even underwears, you just concentrate on wearing them."

Hatori turned around and smiled. He took Kyou's naked wrists and kissed them.

Kyou sighed. "That smile of yours..."

"Just make you melt."

Hatori kissed upwards to Kyou's elbow, shoulder, neck... and finally the lips.

Kyou giggled against Hatori's lips. "No... that smile of yours... makes my heart melt."

Hatori went on to sniff Kyou's hair. "And this kitty hair of yours, makesme wanna melt you even more... you're lucky that you have me to help you comb your hair. It'll become dry and rough if I let you take care of it yourself... you never take care of it..."

"Because I know you would be there to help me through anything."

Hatori touched Kyou's ears. It was just like a normal human ear, until Hatori kissed it; it became pointed. Hatori sighed.

"This reminds me of how hard you tried to hide your ears when you first found out. It turns out you can hide it whenever you want. That look of you, so shocked and happy, is still in the photo album."

"Yeah yeah... p.s. By Momiji. I don't even know when he liked taking random photos."

Kyou sighed and leaned nearer to Hatori.

Hatori snaked his hands to Kyou's butt, groping them, making Kyou sit on his own lap.

"Did Ayame teach you that? That hand-snaking-to-butt technique."

Outside their bedroom was a garden with three tall beings with distinctive hair colours.

"Oh look! Another chance for sex education!" Momiji took out his digital camera, getting prepared for another successful attempt at storing memories for the couple. Somehow, even the cool and alert Hatori never notices the camera.

Ever since Akito had died, the juunishi were set free, not of their curse, for Tohru, Rin and surprisingly, Kureno, are still trying really hard to break it. They were freed mentally. The day before Akito died, a meeting was called for all the juunishis. Akito specifically wanted Ayame's son to take over him as the head of clan and that Ayame would be the acting head of clan until then.

Everybody was confused; Ayame and Shigure are both guys, how can anyone of them give birth? And everyone knows that they wouldn't seperate from each other or be unfaithful to each other.

Unfortunately, Ayame decided to undergo a sex change operation. Fortunately, he was stopped by Shigure's three hours of wailing.

Two months later, Ayame was sent to Hatori for symtoms of dizziness and nauseousness every morning. Shigure was almost crying as he waited outside the family clinic. After a while, Shigure went in, and laughter of happiness could be heard from Hatori's office. Ayame was pregnant!

Soon, people in the Sohma clan began touching Ayame's protuding stomach for luck, a rumour that started out of nowhere. Ayame of course, was really hyper and happy. Shigure, however, was busy following Ayame around, shielding unknown hands away from his unborn son.

Ayame and Shigure walked past Hatori's bedroom with noises coming out. Shigure was grinning ear to ear and Ayame was pinching the baby boy's nose in his steady arms, not wanting his nose to be asian-flat but more beautiful and tall in the future, while reminding him not to be like his father but more like Hatori.

Looking at Ayame, Shigure had long decided that no matter how Ayame looked like, what colours his hair and eye colour are, he is still the most beautiful person deep down inside his heart. Of course... you never know what's on the surface of his heart.

Ayame had did a great job since then. He was alot more linent to the juunishis, letting them love whoever they want, disencouraging cybersex though. He also took down the so many restricting rules that the previous Heads had set up, relaxing the whole clan. Most of all, making them see why the cat should not be locked up, but set free. Part of the reason why he succeeded was... using the tactic he used when convincing the teacher to let his hair remain the length when he was in high school, now, with the help of the family doctor. You can imagine Shigure and Haru teasing Hatori for months for him agreeing with Ayame for the first time.

Moreover, Ayame allowed the cat into the twelve juunishis. However, he realized that it was impossible for the cat the join the calendar as it has already been set since thousands of years ago, so he arranged for the cat to be in the same year as the rat's, for the cat is an angel to the family. A custom made calendar was also ordered every year to include the cat in the rat's year, exclusively for the Sohma family.

Kyou brushed Hatori's hair back, kissing Hatori's blinded eye.

"Nope... it's Shigure. And you have beautiful hair. I like it long... nice to braid."

Kyou noticed the stiffness in Hatori's neck shoulders and he started massaging them.

"Ha-chan... You've been tiring yourself out again... look how stiff your shoulders are."

Hatori moaned. "And look how gentle you've become. You no longer is the cat with sharp claws. But a kitty with nice, soft, smooth and sweet smelling..."

Ayame had also stopped Kagura from chasing Kyou and beating him to a pulp, of course, with the help of Hatori's threat.

A quote from Hatori which was famous throughout the whole Sohma clan, still is, "If anyone hurts Kyou, I'll donate his or her blood to charity.", the sentence ended with Hatori holding up a large syringe with some red stuff in it.

That red stuff, was rumoured to be Shigure's, the infamous sex pervert.

Hatori flipped Kyou around, pressing him to the floor and whispered into his ears.. "I will tell you when I've finish smelling all over you."

"And getting my back all scratched from the carpet..."

Hatori dipped down and started their... morning routine.

"You are always so jumpy... do we have to? I want some time with my own koi too." Haru turned to his lover, hand sliding to between Yuki's legs.

Yuki moaned, not intending for Haru to take his hand off that part.

"Haru..." Yuki sighed.

Yuki wanted to teach Haru some sex education too that morning. All thanks to the hyperactive rabbit, reaching the age of puberty.

Momiji had grew so much taller that he overtook Yuki. His face had also matured, more boy like, to the favour of the girls in school. Besides the growth in the physical way, Momiji was also growing in the hormonal way. He was always excited in watching people make love(note: make love, not have sex). He just like the way two people who love each other bringing out the utmost love they have for each other, and putting it into action.

Haru was just glad that Kyou had forgiven him, and that he could continue to be with Yuki, mentally and physically. He was really happy when he first heard that Kyou was going to move into the main house, and all generations of the cats after Kyou could do the same. Haru, whose hands was still moving, smiles evilly. Maybe, in the next generation, the cow and the cat could be together. Just what a pity he could not witness it. Maybe he would just dye some couple's hair in the family orange and white and black. He smiled inwardly.

Yuki was guilty at first, for being the main reason that Haru and Kyou had broke up, and that Kyou was hurt. He didn't really hated the cat, just educated to hate the cat. Yuki was moving and thinking at the same time that, sometimes, education could be wrong too, especially if the adult who educates have some evil intention. That adult was probably educated to have that intention. Yuki rolled his eyes, realizing that he was thinking too much. He should probably concentrate on what's before him, literally, than what's in the past.

Somehow, Yuki had been influenced by Momiji. He was now addicted to watching Kyou and Hatori make love too. Thinking that Momiji's latest digital camera isn't advanced enough for this type of event, Yuki directed Haru's hands to Momiji's thigh. He took Momiji's digital camera away and whipped out a high speed video camcorder, which can record 250 frames per second. The images won't even blur even when filming in a bullet train. Yuki started recording while Haru and Momiji stared into the window at the couple.

As quickly as Yuki blinked, Hatori winked at the camera. Yuki caught it however, and was sure to watch the video at least three times to make sure, with double intentions of course.

Owari
