I'm sorry to say
but this is the final chapter! I figured since I gave you all a big
fat hint at the ending in the last chapter I'd better wrap things
up! Also, I'm going to be working on a Fruits Basket story as soon
as this is over; if you're a Fruits Basket fan, be sure to add me
to your Author Alert subscription! Well, let me stop rambling and
let's get to the story!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Ouran High
School Host Club.

Kagura sighed inwardly from where she sat at Hikaru and Kaoru's table at the Host Club. Hikaru was being… Hikaru. He still hadn't spoken to her; and every time she tried to talk to him about Saturday he would bolt, leaving her glaring after him.
She scratched Smoke behind the ears, glaring daggers at Hikaru. He'd better talk to her soon or she'd turn his dream tonight into a nightmare for him.
Finally, the customers left and she snatched Hikaru before he could escape. She grabbed him by his tie and drove him into the corner.
"You promised me Sunday night we could take us more seriously… and yet you haven't spoken to me all day!" She growled furiously. Hikaru turned deep red.
"Well...I…Uh…." She tightened her grip on his collar and shoved him further into the corner.
"What? Scared to be seen with me?" She smirked and he blushed deeper. "No! It's not that it's…" He broke off, fumbling for words. Kagura waited impatiently.
"Spit it out." She snapped after listening to a minute of his pointless rambling. "Look, I'm bad at talking to girls, OK?" He snapped. "Just say what you need to say!" Kagura exclaimed, feeling like a fuse was going to go off in her brain any minute.
"Look… when Kaoru and Sakura started going out, I felt like he had abandoned me. And don't try to deny you felt like she had betrayed you." He added. Kagura nodded tightly, knowing he was right.
"And if I go out with you then it'll feel like Kaoru and I are completely different people… we won't spend every moment together anymore, we'll be with different people…" He trailed off. Kagura sighed and took his chin firmly in her hand, forcing him to look her in the eyes.
"Look, I understand completely. But Kaoru and Sakura didn't let that get in the way; why should we?" She whispered. She pulled him closer and kissed him fiercely, until all thoughts had left her head.
"Kagura?"
"Hikaru?"
They broke apart and looked sheepishly at their twins who stood in front of them, their hands on their hips as they looked at them in amusement.
"What? It's not like you two haven't kissed anyone before." Kagura snapped, and went to kiss Hikaru again but Sakura gently pulled her away.
"Mom won't be happy if we're late coming home." She said and Kagura rolled her eyes, irritated that she had to be right.
"Bye everyone!" She called, waving to the rest of the Host Club. "See you tonight." She whispered to Hikaru with a wink as Sakura and Kaoru dragged them apart.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hikaru was almost a bit overwhelmed with Kagura's fierce style of loving; one moment they'd be having a peaceful conversation and then she had jumped over the table to kiss him. She certainly liked kissing him; she was mostly the one kissing him, instead of the other way around. He loved kissing her of course; he just wasn't so demanding of her.
Every night, they'd have random getaways to far off places where Hikaru would try to learn more about her and she'd try to kiss him.
He loved her though; every kiss felt like the first, and every time they touched sent new sparks aflame. And he was happy. For once in his life Hikaru Hitachiin was truly happy.

*Ducks various sharp objects being thrown at her* How did you want me to end it?! There was no more drama to be had, no more tragedies, etc. I don't like to drag stories on and on and spoil them! Besides I wanted to make room for… THE BONUS CHAPTER! *Fanfare* Yes that's right! Bonus! You definitely scored with this story! Here it is, a little peek into the future… Fifteen years to be exact….

Hikaru opened his eyes slowly and scowled at the ceiling. Not again.
"Your turn. Make him a bottle." Kagura groaned sleepily, rolling back over. Hikaru glanced at her and sighed, hating that she could literally boss him around in her sleep. He stood up, rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and stumbled downstairs to the kitchen. Kagura had insisted they leave the mansion and buy a nice house in the middle of nowhere, with a big backyard. She'd also insisted on their roommates.
"You too?" Hikaru guessed, amused when he caught Kaoru in the middle of heating up a bottle. His brother jumped. "How much can something that small eat?!" He exclaimed, testing the temperature of the bottle and Hikaru laughed.
"My question is, when will the wives make the bottles?" Hikaru said, getting out a bottle and Kaoru chuckled. "Sakura makes her fair share during the day. And you know Kagura does her part too." He shook a finger at Hikaru jokingly and Hikaru smiled.
"See you tomorrow, unless Anju and Kyoko wake up again." Kaoru grimaced before disappearing from the kitchen. Hikaru sighed and took his own bottle, climbing the stairs as he went back to their room, where Kyoko slept in his crib, so that'd they be sure to hear him whenever he cried.
Hikaru reached in and picked up the blonde haired, blue eyed baby, who was still somehow beautiful to him, even though he was currently crying.
He sat in the rocking chair with him, rocking him back to sleep. Even after Kyoko had finally fallen asleep he continued to hold him, running his fingers over his hair, marveling at the softness of it.
Anju, Kaoru and Sakura's daughter, looked just like Kyoko; it didn't surprise Hikaru, given the fact their parents all looked the same. But Kyoko's hair was darker, as were his eyes; but everyone would surely know they were relatives when they were older.
He held his sleeping son to his chest, closing his eyes and counting his blessings.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"He's here!" Sakura cried with relief when the doorbell rang. "Shh!" She hushed her sister, glancing worriedly at the sleeping Kyoko she held.
She wasn't just hushing her sister; their dogs were barking at the "intruder". She set Kyoko down in his crib, hurried downstairs and opened the door.
"Thank you so much for coming." She said with relief as Kyouya stepped in. "How could I have said no?" He said dryly, though he was smiling slightly.
"But unfortunately he found out…" He looked at the door and they all watched as Tamaki, Haruhi, Mori, and Hunny poured in, each offering their greetings.
"He decided I needed help." Kyouya explained, though he didn't seem upset at all. Ever since he'd taken over his father's company, he was much more relaxed; now that everything he'd been working for had been reached, he was more content.
He still needs a girlfriend though. Kagura thought with a slight smile. "You guys didn't have to come." Sakura said to the others but Tamaki laughed. "We'll need all the practice!" Tamaki cried, wrapping his arms around Haruhi who rolled her eyes. They'd only been married a month, yet Tamaki kept talking about kids, while Haruhi insisted on waiting.
"And Takashi and I like babies, ne Takashi?" Hunny asked, turning to Mori who nodded once. "Ah."
"And they like Bun-Bun!" Hunny held up his pink rabbit. Kagura was a bit worried about Hunny; the man was nearly thirty and he barely looked eight.
Mori, however, was much more imposing then he'd been in his high school years. He was both taller and darker, and Kagura still wondered how he'd managed that.
Haruhi had let her hair grow out again; it was now resting on her shoulders, though she played with it often, not liking it much. Tamaki was still he gorgeous self, though he was a bit more down to earth now that he and Haruhi were together.
"Now, you too go have fun!" Kagura and Sakura found themselves being pushed out the door. "Take your time! We promise, the house will still be intact when you come home!" Tamaki cried, shutting the door behind them. Kagura and Sakura exchanged a glance and laughed. They weren't worried about Kyoko and Anju; Kyouya was surprisingly good with babies, though he didn't like holding them much. Tamaki, however, had trouble putting them down, so they were in good hands.
"Let's take a well deserved break." Sakura said, getting behind the front wheel of the car. "The guys will be waiting for us." She pointed out, turning the engine. Kagura nodded and buckled up, leaning back in her seat as she watched her beautiful home grow smaller and smaller in the distance.
Who would have thought this would happen to me? I am truly blessed. She thought with a contented smile, closing her eyes and sighing peacefully.
Well, there you have it, the end! I couldn't resist writing about them in the future; I love stories that explore what the Host Club will be like in their later years. Like it or hate it, it's your choice. But I hope you loved the story! Though this story has met its end, that doesn't mean I'm finished writing! Be sure to stay tuned for my future stories! There I go, rambling again! Please review and don't bite my head off at the rather sudden, short ending!
