Chapter 12

In the Days to Come

Last time - Akito took Satsuki and then Hari came to the rescue and saved her! Then they had their first kiss after making up. Now we must look into the their future, in the days to come.
Hello! This is the last chapter, so now you'll get to see more of "The Curse I Never Had". I know that many of you have already read the first one and I know that some people are getting ready to kill me if I don't start giving them a sequel...don't kill me! Let's get on with the story.
Standard disclaimers apply for the last time! ...in this story...darn!
10 years later...

Satsuki and Haru were on the beach, just enjoying each other's company. Looking at the ocean as it hit the beach and looking at the starry sky that loomed over above. IT was a peaceful night. The two cuddled on the sandy ground and admired it all. Just a twentythree-year-old and a twentyfive-year-old, young adult romance. Two cursed people, together in love.

Tonight was the nigh Haru was gonna ask the question.

"Sa-chan?" he asked.

"Yes, Haru-chan," she answered.

He was silent for a second, gathering up his courage. He put a hand in his left pocket and took out a box and opened it. "Well you...marry me?"

Satsuki was surprised and filled with delight. The best love is that of first love, and then being rpoposed to.

"I would love to," she said with a smile as Haru slipped the ring on her finger.

"I love you."

Satsuki blushed a deep red. "I love you too." They both kissed under the moonlight with passion and happiness. Funny thing was...eleven years ago to that day was the first day they had started dating.

The wedding bells rang as Hatsuharu and Satsuki shared their first kiss as a married couple, exactly four months after the proposal, eleven years after their very kiss. This was their special day.

Satsuki's white dress shimmered in the sun as it hit down on all of them after exiting the chirch. The best day to get married had to be that day.

Five years later..

A little three-year-old girl ran around the house as Satsuki ran after her.

"Hotaru!" she called. The little one had decided that this running thing was fun. Unfortunately, Satsuki wasn't built for running that much...and POOF! There was a rat on the floor...and that rat was Satsuki.

Haru came in wondering what had just happened. It had been two years since her last transformation and that had been when she was sick. When he was the running Hotaru, he knew what happened. She didn't know that her mom shouldn't be running.

Hotaru looked terrified that her mom was a little grey rat on the floor. There for, Haru had to explain the best he could to a three-year-old. "Mommy can't run that much or she'll be a rat (or a snake). You can't hug daddy or he'll turn into an ox. You'll understand better when you're older."

Haru took Satsuki to their room with her clothes for her to transform back. When she did, she got dressed and looked Haru in the eye. "Thankd for telling her htat...even though she doesn't understand completely and rpobably feels guilty."

The curse was still around and wasn't going anythere...at least not until Hotaru got older and broke it herself.

The end.

This was just a short little chapter. I just needed a way to end and it had to be a bit of a cliffhanger so that you guys could make up the very end yourselves. I just lvoe you drive you guys nuts, it give me some fun in my life. I hope that y'all enjoyed this story, even though I'm sure that it could get convoluted at times or seem incessant, but most thing need to come to an end, and here it is. Now you can all look foward to "The Curse I Never Had 2". I'm sure that most of you want it right now, so I better get on the ball and start writing. First, I'm gonna thank the reivewers.

Rin The Horse - My former neighbor...yeah, this story would sound familiar to you. A lot of these things happened in my life, except the stuff more near the end, that's just what I probably want. I just wish you were still here, being editor number two. Kirokala (Shannon) has taken your place. I must thank you for what you have done for me. Oh, your hamster is doing fine, but my cats nearly killed it once.

chocolateriku - Well, you like the story and that's good enough for me! It's always nice to have new people pop in and say they like a story, whether it's mine or a friend's. I thank you for being so kind.

soullesseyes - You're one of those reviewers who can't help but want to know what happenes next. Those are good reivewers who can really make me laugh. Thank you too, and now you know what happens.

fb - Yes, Hiro's mom's name is Satsuki, but I named my character off the girl in My Neighbor Totoro. I had no clue that was his mom's name until you suggested it and I looked it up.

obstanleycat - neighbor and editor number one. You always try and make sure that everything is right but...I always post the chapter before you get a chance to look at it. I'm afraid that the other reviewers ,ight get upset if I make them wait too long. But I must still thank you.

Bighearted fan (TeArDrOpS oF tHe MoOn) - I don't know what's happened to you, no emails, no story updates, no recent reivews, but I'll thank you for being there in the beginning. I'm gonna try and get a hold of you soon.

Kira Sohma (Kirokala) - The new editor number two, thank you so much! You have recently went over what I've edited in "The Curse I Never Had" and got more done for me. Now it's getting ready to have all the chapters replaced and then everyone can be happy! See ya soon!
