Disclaimer: I am not rich enough to own Ouran High School. If I was, I would not be able to own the OUran Host club either. All rights do not belong to me but Bisco Hatori who had the stroke of brilliance to create this series.

Wow…Longest disclaimer I've ever written…moving on…This is the last chapter for Legends hold more. I don't think this is as good as Street Legends so if you agree…thanks for understanding…I've also been feeling the urge to write a second generation thing for this. So Kano's kid and Haruhi's kid kinda introduced. That'll be my epilogue chapter…Now on with the story…

Kano moved swiftly through the dancing crowds. She hoped that the informant had stayed long enough. The imposters were probably hanging around here as well. All she needed was to get her hands on them. She scanned the throngs of people before her quickly.

"Who are you looking for, girl?" Kano turned to see Elliot the informant of Gatelock. "Not me, I hope." Kano bowed her head respectfully to the older woman.

"You look well, sister." Elliot waved Kano's statement away crisply.

"I am and always will be a follower of Blue Rose, Kano. I put that in front of everything, including the fact that I am, was, Emperor's fiancée." Kano looked at the woman directly in the eyes.

"Alright. So where are these imposters? Are they here?" Elliot only nodded. "Alright. Point them out to me." The older woman stretched out her hand and pointed.

"There is only one imposter, Kano, and that is you." Kano growled.

"Explain yourself, Elliot." The older woman simply handed an envelope to the angry girl. Kano's eyes widened as she recognized the handwriting. Carefully, she tore it open. As she read the contents, Kano's eyes softened and a gentle smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. After she was done reading, Kano tore the paper into tiny pieces and mixed the pieces in with the confetti that would be thrown away this night. For the first time since Emperor died, Blue Rose smiled.

"Elliot, I only have one order for you." Elliot looked up intently. She recognized Blue Rose immediately by the air about the younger girl. For Elliot, it was strange. The air wasn't icy anymore but calm, waiting with a melancholy happiness. "Go back to being Emearie. The name suits you better." Elliot bowed but when she had straightened, Kano and Blue Rose were gone.

"Emearie, huh?" The woman sighed. It felt as though a great weight had been lifted off of her. "Emearie, I am again then." But Emearie had a hole in her heart. It was a large hole, but she knew that the size of that hole couldn't even begin to compare to the hole in Blue Rose's heart, which seemed to be repairing itself. "I'm glad to see that there are some things that truly can mend hearts. I'd better go find mine." Then Emearie joined the dancing crowd.

Dear little sister,

Hey. If you've received this letter, this means that not only have I died but my final lesson to you has been revealed. Kano, you can't be two people not matter how much you try. Balance yourself between Blue Rose and Kano. Then, come up with a name for yourself. Trust me; it'll be a lot easier to know who you are.

Kano found her friends still sitting at the table where she had left them. She sat next to Haruhi, who looked at her in relief.

"I thought I told you three to go have a good time." Kano gave the twins an accusing glare.

"Don't look at us. Haruhi was the one worried that you'd get killed or something." Kano gave her old friend a sarcastic look.

"Yes, Haruhi, because I can't fight as well as you can." Haruhi rolled her eyes.

"Well, almost every single time we go anywhere for information, I usually have to pull you out of trouble." Kano sweat dropped.

"Well, should we go home now?" Her friends nodded.

Did you know, Sis, that living as one person isn't so bad? In fact there might be more adventure if you're one person. As fun as living a double life is, there are limits to it. You'll get twice the burnout and much less fun. But Sis, maybe all you need is someone who'll accept you no matter which one you choose.

Kano, Haruhi, and the twins were waiting for the Hitachiin limo in Gatelock's entrance hall. Haruhi and Hikaru were having a conversation about the latest project that had been given to their class. Kaoru pretended to be interested in their conversation. He noticed that Kano was distant. Her mind seemed to be in a place that caused her face to take on a sad sort of happiness. As though she couldn't help but have conflicting emotions over certain memories. He wondered just what the informant had said to her. Before he could ask her what was on her mind, his family limo arrived.

"You guys go ahead." The twins and Haruhi looked at her. She wished they wouldn't look at her so suspiciously, especially Haruhi. "I just feel like walking home. I'll see you three tomorrow." Without waiting for a reply, Kano turned and disappeared from their sight.

I've always loved you as Kano, my little sister. Then again, I've loved you as Blue Rose. No matter which you were, you were always my little sister. Huh, what do you know? Dad said the same thing to me before he disappeared. Well, except he used son instead of little sister. I don't know how much that means to you coming from a dead guy but as your older brother, I hope you'll choose to be Kano. She's much nicer and it took less to make her smile. She was always happy with the simplest things. Well, that's just my input on the subject but if, and that's a big if right there, if you ever fall in love, give my condolences to the poor guy. He'd better not be expecting a quiet life.

Sincerely, Your Brother, Pilferinog

PS See how much I love you? I signed my real name.

PSS Why'd Dad get to name you?

As Kano walked through the dark streets of the neighborhood, she thought about her brother's letter. Two people lived inside her. She knew this since she had reunited with Haruhi. It shook her. Is this why Haruhi quit being Empress? Because she didn't want to be two people? Now I'm faced with the same choice. I can't decide. Maybe I'll just disappear for a while. Travel the world again.

"Watch out!" The voice was so familiar. Kano ducked in reflex as a metal bar just barely missed her. As she looked up at her attacker, she inhaled sharply. It was a wild-eyed Lexander, Blue Rose's former second-in-command. As she stared at him, Kaoru stepped between them.

"Kaoru? What…?" Kano was nearly speechless. He gave her a grim smile.

"You protected me last time, Kano. I'm just returning the favor." Lexander gave a yell of rage as he swung again. Kano pulled Kaoru out of range to a place where they would be safe, if only momentarily.

"Are you crazy? Only Blue Rose can handle him right now. So just stay out of the way!" Kaoru shook his head at her.

"You're not Blue Rose. You're Kano." Though she struggled, Kaoru pulled her close to him. "Kano is the only person I'm willing to help without any profit to me." She pushed him away.

"You're delusional Kaoru. Without Blue Rose, there is no Kano and without Blue Rose, we'll both die here." She paused as though thinking about something. "Thanks, Kaoru, you've helped me decide." She stood up and stepped out of their hiding place. "Hey, Lexander! Are you still regretting what happened last time?" Lexander turned around and stared at her, his wild eyes swirling.

"Him! It's all because of him. That blue blood." He ran towards her his metal pipe raised. "KAORU HITACHIIN!" Kano prepared for the blow. At the last second, she jumped out of the way and struck at the back of his neck. Repeating her move, Lexander moved out of the way almost just as fast. He swung his weapon at her side only to find that it was caught in her hand. Before this registered in his mind, she'd had him pinned. As he strained to look her in the eyes, his own widened. "Y-you're not either of them." She smirked. It was like Blue Rose's, gentler maybe, but just as cold. Her fist was cocked for one more hit.

"Kano Rose, at your service." Then her fist hit its mark and he blacked out. She sighed and stood up. "Mr. Hitachiin?" Kaoru looked up at her back. He had watched the entire thing from where she had left him. He couldn't find the voice to ask her what he wanted to. "Mr. Hitachiin. Would you mind calling the police?" Kaoru was shocked back into the present. He fumbled for his cell phone.

"uh…sure." Even as he called, he couldn't take his eyes off of her back. Was this really Kano? What had he helped her decide? He had only gone after her when Haruhi had off-handedly mentioned that before Kano disappeared last time, the two girls had had the same conversation. Where Kano decided to return home on foot. For some reason, he wanted to see her off, but without the goodbye. As he made the call, he watched the back of her blue kimono. Mr. Hitachiin she had called him. So he wasn't Kaoru to her anymore. It was a long moment until she turned to face him. The eyes were Kano's but the expression on her face was most definitely not. "K-kano?" She bowed and smiled a smile he knew only too well.

"Pleased to meet you, Mr. Hitachiin. I'm Kano Rose." She extended her hand to him for a handshake.

"Kaoru Hitachiin." He thought it was strange having to re-introduce himself to her. "Same here, I think." She grinned in a manner that seemed so much like Kano.

"Fooled you for a moment there didn't I Kaoru?" This was Kano not Kano Rose as she had introduced herself. Kaoru stood there speechless. "I wasn't lying when I told you I was Kano Rose. That was my name before anything happened in my life. Kano Rose was before Blue Rose who was before Kano. I really only ever changed my first name. I was always a Kolane." Kano grinned directly at him this time. "Got that? Hitachiin?" Kaoru blinked at her surprised for a few seconds before nodding.

"Got it, Kano." She held her hand out.

"Mind if I borrow your phone, Kaoru? I need to call Kyouya." Reluctantly, Kaoru handed his phone over to her. She made the call and walked out of his earshot. He wondered why she would think of Kyouya right after struggling over who she was. He had always had a feeling that that was her problem. Even Haruhi had hinted at it. Didn't she say she had made a choice? Why couldn't the news of choosing who she was wait until tomorrow where she would already see Kyouya? The more he thought about it, the more he got a sinking feeling in his stomach. He was about to go when she came back. "Thanks, Kaoru. Here." She tossed his cell phone to him. Kaoru caught it, looking at it for a moment before looking back at her. She smiled sadly at him. "I'm going to have to tell Haruhi I'm moving out. Care to come with me?" He could only nod. Just then the police arrived to take Lexander to the station. Kano and Kaoru left upon seeing him in their custody.

"I'm going to start living in the Ootori compound." Kaoru turned his head to look at her. Why? He couldn't voice that question but no doubt his eyes asked her because she continued. "It's nothing like that. Kyouya's dad made me a protégé of the Ootori group and since I show so much promise, they would prefer to keep me much closer to them rather than over here, where I'll probably just get into more trouble." His feeling of uneasiness went away.

"So you'll still be going to Ouran, right?" Kano looked at him quizzically.

"I started my high school career on the other side of the world. All of those transcripts, man I'll tell you that was a pain." She shrugged. "Since I'm already in Japan for a while, I might as well finish my high school diploma at Ouran." He nodded and grinned.

"So you'll stick around for years after that as well won't you?" He handed a card to her. "Call me right after graduation, 'kay?" He didn't want to mention the fact that they probably would see each other seconds after graduation.

"Can't promise it." She took the card anyway.

Haruhi and Hikaru had been watching the both of them throughout the events. Haruhi smiled after her friend. She looked at the twin that had come with her, Hikaru, who looked after his brother with a small bit of sadness.

"Are you going to be okay, Hikaru?" The left-over twin closed his eyes before grinning at her.

"Of course I am, Haruhi. Kano seems to understand how important we are to each other and she won't try to break the two of us apart. That's her way after all right?" Haruhi smiled.

"Yeah, but don't expect that she won't stir things up." Hikaru's grin grew more mischievous.

"I understand, so don't expect me not to try to stop them." Haruhi shook her head, half-wondering what Tamaki would say about them tomorrow.

A/N: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand…finished! I'll probably do an epilogue chapter about Kano's kid, Romiro, and Haruhi's kid, Roimi. Hehe yeah, I've got all the names down and everything. I'm going to possibly try finishing my other fanfics as well. This includes my Eragon fanfic Dragon's Ghost which has a Kano-like character in it and that's about it for my Ouran Host Club fanfics. It was fun. I hope you enjoyed them.
