Epilogue
"You may now kiss the bride." Amethyst eyes met bright blue ones as the owners of the eyes' lips touched. Cheers and clapping exploded from the family and friends sitting on small folding chairs as cherry blossoms fluttered through the air, tangling themselves in everyone's hair. Momiji, his violin in hand, smiled broadly as he began to play a happy tune as the Tohru and Yuki linked arms and walked back through the cheering onlookers. Tears of joy and laughter and smiles were on the faces of every single person there, even the coldest of hearts were softened at the spectacle.
Parked beneath one of the trees was a horse-drawn carriage, four dancing white horses in front of it. Hatori, his dark hair longer than ever and his stern face smiling, bowed slightly and opened the door to the carriage. Yuki leapt into the carriage and took his bride's hand, helping her in.
Later that day everyone who was present at the wedding were gathered under a great tent, candles floating in glass bowls filled with water illuminating the night. Music played as friends and couples danced, skirts twirling and coattails flapping. Soon the music stopped and the rough voice of Uo came over the loudspeakers.
"I'd like to let everyone know that momentarily Mr. and Mrs. Sohma will be boarding the lovely carriage and departing for their honeymoon! So everyone grab some rice and get over here!" The speakers clicked and fell silent as everyone picked up the little packets of rice from the tables and stood in two lines in front of the carriage. Boisterous laughter rang through the night as every threw their rice fervently as the bride and groom ran between them, hands protecting their heads. The newlyweds departed in laughter as the carriage rolled off. Just as the carriage was pulling away the bride opened the door and tossed out a bouquet of flowers. All of the girls rushed forward, their arms flailing in the air in desperate attempts to catch the flowers. By some trick of fate, three hands shot into the air and all caught the bouquet. Uo, Hana, and Kisa looked at the flowers and then at each other in shock. Soon after they all broke into smiles and laughter. Ayame, noticing this, yelled out: "Looks like for the next wedding it'll be three couples instead of one!"
All of the remaining years passed in peace. Akito died quietly a year later, freeing the Sohma family from his rule. Several more weddings occurred and babies were born. Uo and Kyo ran their dojo happily. They enjoyed each other's company and a good group of willing students. Kyo told Uo of both the family's and his curse, and while shocked at first, came to accept them. Hana eventually graduated from high school without any more trouble than usual. She opened a book-shop, with its specialty being information on anything mysterious. Haru went to college and studied architecture, and began working on the designs for many buildings. Hatori opened up his own clinic and did well with it from the start. Ayame continued with this dress shop, soon enlisting Kisa as his newest employee. She helped with the sewing while she studied art in college. As soon as Hiro graduated he went off to law school, which surprised no one. The predicted three-fold wedding did in fact occur many years after Yuki and Tohru were married. Uo and Kyo, Kisa and Hiro, and Hana and Hatsuharu were all wedded, with Yuki and Tohru's young daughter Kyoko as the flower girl.
THE END
A/N: Wow. It's been over a year and I return with the epilogue and a renewed version of my most-loved fanfiction. I worked on some of the writing, patched up unintentional plot-holes, and cleared up some confusion. I do not plan on writing a sequel anymore, so I made it a more satisfying ending. I confess, this is quite a puny epilogue, but it's better than nothing!
