Okay, because of the reviews I've been getting, I have FINALLY decided to make an epilogue. And don't skim to the bottom to see what happens. That just ruins it. And Must I always explain this? I do not want to go through any trouble! This is a fanfic. As in I can write whatever I want as long as I stick to facts. Sad endings are something you just have to deal with because that's real life. Got it? Okay, on to the story!
Takeru and Kotoha: PGSMaddict96 does not own anything from the Super Sentai Series including us. She only owns the storyline. Enjoy everybody!

It's been a month since his execution. Kotoha couldn't hang on anymore. She never thought she would hate her father and brother so much for what they did. She even ignored the visits from both her mother and Mako and felt like there was no longer meaning to life without Takeru.
Kotoha ran into the forest as she arrived at the cherry blossom tree she and Takeru always went to when they were alone together. They had their own little world when they were here. She gently fingered the necklace around her neck for she never took it off after he gave it back to her.
She reached into her sleeve as she took out the dagger. It was the only other thin g she would carry with her whenever she went outside the palace and never left without it. She knelt down onto the grass and carefully carved hers and Takeru's name into the bark of the tree, making sure she wouldn't make a mistake.
"Anata… How did you get Onii-chan's dagger?" a voice cried. Kotoha tensed and turned to find Kaoru who held onto her katana.
"Kaoru-san!" She stood up and backed away.
"Omae… You're the reason Onii-chan's dead!" Kaoru swung at her as Kotoha dodged.
"Kaoru-san! Sonna… I never meant for this to happen!"
"Urusai!" She swung again but Kotoha blocked it with her own katana. "Onii-chan's dead… He's dead because he met you!" She pulled back as she kept attacking the younger girl, only to have their swords locked.
"Kaoru-san… onegai… Please reconsider this…" Kotoha murmured. She soon mustered enough strength to knock away the Princess of Red's sword before throwing hers to the side. "I didn't mean for Takeru-san to die… My father… he was blinded by war like we were taught… Takeru-san and I wanted to stop this war… To stop this madness… Think about how he would feel if he saw you like this…"
Kaoru stopped as Kotoha walked up to her and placed the dagger in her hands. "If you want me dead… at least do it with his own possession…" Kotoha gave a calm smile as she looked at Kaoru.
The Princess of Red looked back at her and hesitated. "What have I done… I can't kill you like this… You're too important to my brother… I can't…"
Kotoha gave a small smile and gently took of the hand holding the dagger. "It wouldn't mean anything if one of us is alive…" She soon forced the dagger through her chest before she soon collapsed onto the ground, a pool of blood forming.
"Sonna…" Kaoru stumbled back. She looked at the bloodied dagger in her hands and threw it away before running off, tears streaming down her cheeks. She didn't seem to notice the small and shy smile on Kotoha's face as she lay dead on the now bloodied ground.
