A/N: I wonder how mad you guys got when I didn't end the story right there. Lol. Well, don't worry. This is the last chapter. Hope you enjoyed it and I hope you review it! Thanks SO much for all your reviews thus far and, if I hadn't responded to everwhite's questions, thanks so much! I'd love this to be in the contest, if it isn't already.


Epilogue

His face, I recall, had gone completely blank.

Then he had tossed his suitcase to the ground, taken me in his arms, and kissed me. I completely melted. If it weren't for him holding me, I would have fainted. I always knew how much my knees buckled whenever he would simply look at me... but just the feel it all... it was something I had never experienced. Dark had somewhat of the same effect, but... this was different, in a much, much better kind of way.

We pulled apart for a moment, trying to decipher the meaning of Satoshi's bold move. I tried to stop my heart from beating so furiously, lest it would suddenly fail me. It was no good. Another look into those eyes and I lost it all over again. I could see him smile (yes, he actually smiled!) before he leaned in again. I reacted by slipping my arms around his neck. The last thing I can remember thinking before I totally gave into his embrace was:

I suppose in heaven, the men are bolder than I am...

Nobody really expected this, or thought that it would last, but here we are. An official couple of Tokyo University. And here I was, just a few months ago, thinking that he was a selfish, ignorant bastard that didn't care about anyone. Now... I don't know what I would do if he left again. Yes, I know that it sounds stupid, but shut up! I'm allowed to be sentimental in the epilogue. Anyway...

He's still kind of isolated and all, but that's ok. Whenever he doesn't want to talk, I just shrug and leave it at that. The cool thing is that after a class or two, when he's walking me to my next class, he'll suddenly turn and kiss my cheek. I never really expect it, but he just smiles appologetically and holds my hand. I personally find it amazing, but Kagura thinks differently, seeing as how she teases me so much.

Oh, did I forget to tell you? Yeah, he smiles now. I like it.

I guess all those Middle School years, when I would pine for Dark, and Satoshi would lecture me about it all, weren't as stupid and wasteful as I thought they were. As I look back on it, I smile to myself and wonder if anyone else ended up with someone they didn't expect. Well, with the exception of Riku and Daisuke. Now, I'm not going to end with something stupid and gooey, lovey-dovey or anything. All I'm saying is that perhaps there is someone out there that you absolutely despise. You don't have to fall in love with him/her, just... give them a chance.

You never really know what you're going to find.

THE END
