Author's note: Hm…actually, I have little to say. So enjoy, this is probably going to be one of the last chapters. I wish I could've written a longer fic, unfortunately, fate decided otherwise.

"Izumi…what are you doing here?" He said softly.
"I…I…" Actually, she wasn't exactly sure. Impulse was what drove her to drive out, but she had absolutely no idea to where she had driven.
He stared at her with almost disbelief, though she could not imagine why. Silence followed as they just stood, inches apart.
"Do you…do you live around here?" She said, trying to break the awkward silence.
"No." He said uncomfortably.
"Oh." She looked away.
Another moment of pure silence passed. Then…
"I was thinking about you." He admitted.
She looked up at him, expecting for him to avoid her eyes, but instead, he stared intently into them.
"Really?" She murmured, drawing closer to him.
"Izumi…" He began hesitantly. "It's been a while…"
"It has, hasn't it?" She said, rather disappointedly, and backed a little.
"But I…" Why was it so hard to get the right words out? "I've survived these years, I think."
She couldn't take it anymore. "I'm sorry…I think I'd best be going." Izumi bowed a little and began walking away, not seeming to remember that her car had broken down.
She felt this deep disappointment as each of her feet made a little splash in the drenched streets. She had been so lifted, first merely by their meeting and then when he told her had he had been thinking of her. He obviously didn't feel the same way about her.
"Izumi!" He called. "I love you!"
She froze.
Footsteps came up to her.
"Izumi…" She turned and was surprised to feel tears in her eyes. Then she laughed.
"What took you so long?" She whispered as he neared her face.
"I'm sorry." He smiled and finally kissed her, the rain slowly coming to a stop and a rainbow spreading as an arch above them.

Author's note: I bet everyone's given up on me updating by now, but just in case anyone is still interested, do you want an epilogue chapter, or is this scene a satisfactory closing? I also have decided to note that a Takuya/Izumi seems even less romantic to me now.
