The epilogue:

It was over, the HiME star started to slowly disappear as if it never existed. Misa lay there unconscious at Shizuru's feet.

"Shizuru…" Natsuki called weakly as her knees buckled

"Natsuki! You haven't recovered yet, stay still for a moment."

Shizuru approached Natsuki, and Natsuki hugged her tightly

"Thank for saving me…"

No, thank you for saving me… Shizuru thought, if it weren't for your kind heart I would probably be like Misa by now.

At school:

"Shizuru, Want to stay at my place after school?"

"Ara, I didn't know that Natsuki already is in the mood to do 'this' and 'that' today"

"What?! No!!"

"So you don't want to be with me today? Ikezu~"

"No! I mean yes! That's why I was asking--"

Shizuru chuckled while watching Natsuki burning up like a tomato.

"Natsuki onee-sama!" someone called out from behind them

"Onee-sama?!" Natsuki repeated while she turned around "MISA?!"

"Hello Natsuki onee-sama, from now on I'll be a student at this school so I can see you every day!"

"WHAT?!"

"Ara, seems like I will have to hide Natsuki at my house more often"

"WHAT?!"

"Ara" Misa imitated clearly annoyed by the interruption "Looks like I'll have to steal her while she's at school, because fortunately I AM IN THE SAME CLASSROOM as her"

"WHAT?!"

"Ara, maybe I will have to injure her so she cannot go to school"

"Please you two… stop…" Natsuki pleaded as she could see that Shizuru and Misa were staring daggers at each other.

OMAKE

Shizuru: I've been wondering… There hasn't been much Shizuru and Natsuki… fluffy time if you know what I mean.

Asuka: Hrmm…. I guess I'll write a fluffy extra chapter then

Shizuru: Ookini, Asuka-Chan. Make it extra lemony too!

Natsuki: Oi…

Asuka: Lemony?

Shizuru: Ara, don't know what it means? *whispers into Asuka's ear*

Asuka: WHAT?! YOU WANT ME TO WRITE… WHAT?!
