A total 10 people have reviewed to inform me that Akito is, in fact, a girl. These people are blind. -.- I know this spoiler, and say so in the summary. -.- If these people didn't actually give any indication that they READ my story, they do not get thanked. NYAH :P

Also…why don't people seem to understand AU fics?

I would love to personally thank all reviewers…but individual messages would take forever. I will answer some general questions afterward.

SO, much thanks to: Ixilight, ShuichiShindouAuthor, Daxter2424, Lusiki-Thantos, Kurai (Thanks for the explanation of the summary btw), WolfBane2, The Water Sprite, liddyICOP, Sophie-Chan, CandyAssCutie, Nilfhiem, niichan626, Kamui Gaia 07, the-power-of-love, silveryuki06, Freaky Krazer, Kitsune Vampire Girl, Animal 25, Dazzel 1, haruko sohma, MoonRoseCG, kouseki yume, Dianna, LadyRinUchiha, Shadowphantomness, 2h'sgurl, Little Owl082, AthrunZallaLover, Kikyo Higurashi, Lusiki (are you the same person as Lusiki-Thantos?), AthranZalaYume, American-born-confused-desi, Tocji Kitsune Moga, Casi, Chibi Bishi, Nightblue, flute4ever330, and iwannasleep.

Sorry to anyone if I got your name wrong .

As for how it started…my friend and I were wondering how Akito looked in a French maid's uniform while walking to school one day…and thus, Akiko was born. Now, as to why we were thinking of Akito in a French maid's outfit…that is a question best left unanswered.

I will say, that was before we found out Akito was a girl. In fact, it was before that manga even came out…

Also, the yen question; I was indeed mistaken. 400 yen is actually $4 US, not Canadian, meaning it's be about $5.20 Canadian… not that it actually matters much. Basically, it's a cute and fairly cheap trinket :P

And I think that wraps pretty much everything up, so…on to the epilogues! (Aside from the first one…they're all little drabbles that just sort of...happen.)

Epilogue #1

Akito stretched in his bubble bath. "Mmm, this feels nice. I'll almost miss being a girl, not being able to buy this stuff with a straight face any more."

Hatori glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. "How much of the stuff did you buy?" He asked

"Well, if I take a bath every night, enough to last about three years."

"Dear lord, where are you keeping it all?" Hatori asked, this time looking directly at him.

Akito pointed at the towel cupboard. Hatori climbed out of the bath, covered in bubbles so completely you couldn't see a thing, and opened it. He was buried under an avalanche of different types of bubble bath. They stopped hitting him after about a minute and a half. Luckily, only the top half of his body was buried. Akito picked up a bottle that had fallen near to the tub.

"Strawberry. Reminds me of that ice cream." He looked up. "Strawberry is very good."

"Murmph" replied Hatori, still buried. A few minutes later, he managed to unearth himself. Akito motioned him back into the tub. In doing so, he slipped and fell under the water.

"Akita! I mean, Akito!" Hatori yelled, and jumped into the tub. After a few minutes of blindly tunneling through the scented mountain of bubbles to the surface, Hatori burst out, gasping for air and hauling Akito along. Akito turned his head and spat out a mouthful of bubbles.

"They may smell like oranges, but they sure don't taste like them" Akito spat again.

Hatori suddenly became aware of what he was doing. He was holding Akito, in the bath, NO CLOTHES. Hatori's brain promptly abandoned him, leaving him frozen.

"Not again," Said Akito insincerely, wrapping his arms around Hatori's neck and settling down to wait.

Epilogue #2

Ayame was sketching the design for a dress for Kagura. He was sitting in the room with Hatori, Shigure, and Akito, all of whom were reading. He was checking his measurements when he realized he was missing her bust size. "What's Kagura's bra size?" He muttered.

"26B," came the reply. Ayame looked up in amazement to find Hatori and Shigure staring at Akito, who hadn't even looked up from his book.

"How do you know Kagura's bra size?" asked Shigure, sounding disbelieving, and slightly impressed. Hatori gave him a look.

"She told me." Akito replied, still engrossed in his book. Ayame, Shigure and Hatori exchanged glances, Hatori barely suppressing a smirk. They decided to take his word for it.

Epilogue #3

Akito eased himself into the hot spring slowly. He tossed his hair and settled into place. Ayame was already there, and Shigure and Hatori would be joining them momentarily. Ayame suddenly leaned forward and stared intently at Akito's collarbone.

"Are you wearing a diamond necklace?" He demanded in disbelief.

"Yes," replied Akito, exchanging a secretive smile with Hatori or Shigure, Ayame wasn't sure which. Akito toyed with the necklace. "It was a birthday present."

"Happy Birthday?" said Ayame.

Akito laughed slightly. "You're about seven months late."

"You've been wearing that diamond necklace for seven months and no one has noticed!" exclaimed Shigure. He and Hatori settled into the water, on either side of Akito.

"How much did that thing cost, Ha-san?" Ayame asked. Hatori jumped slightly.

"How did you know it was me?" he asked. Akito raised his eyebrows, leaning his head on Hatori's shoulder.

Ayame and Shigure both raised their eyebrows at Hatori. "As if it wasn't obvious? You don't give that kind of thing to a guy, and it wasn't me." said Ayame, referring to the 'Akiko' incident.

"Could have been Shigure." Hatori muttered.

"But it wasn't." Shigure put in. "So, how long have you two been dating?"

"That-" began Hatori.

"Is none of your business." Akito finished. They exchanged a smirk.

AND SO ENDS THE INSANITY THAT IS AKIKO!
