Meanwhile.

Kazuki was waiting out side for the girl's to come out of the room.

"First off since Kaze broke the agreement we made about not telling you both what we did I guess I should tell you as well that Girochi is also dead." Saito sighed as he looked at both of them. Chikane looked confused and Himeko had her head lowered.

Chikane had noticed it some time ago and was holding Himeko's hand tightly letting her mate know she was at her side. Saito sighed and got up. "Kaze let's talk to them alone it may make things easier." Saito sighed as he looked at his friend who had his head down just like his daughter.

"That sounds fine." Kaze managed to say in a low voice.

Saito sighed again as he walked over to Chikane. Chikane looked at her father and agreed that this would be best for them so they could talk. "Himeko I wont be far so call if you need me." Chikane smiled at Himeko. Himeko lifted her head and smiled back letting her know she understood. Chikane and Saito soon left.

Himeko lowered her head again. "I'm sorry Himeko we didn't want to tell you both because we didn't want you to see us as monsters. I couldn't let that man live he killed the woman I loved with all of my heart." Kaze stopped and froze when he felt arms go around him he looked and saw it was Himeko who was hugging him tightly.

"You're my father you will never be a monster in my eyes. I understand what you have done but that's not the only reason I'm sad. I'm sad because you killed a very close friend of yours that's why. But I will never see you as a monster." Himeko lifted her head and smiled a bright smile at her father Kaze looked into Himeko's kind violet eyes and went and hugged Himeko tightly.

"Thank you Himeko. Thank you." Kaze happily said as he held his daughter tighter. You are just like her. Just like your mother. Kaze thought as they stood that way.

Meanwhile.

Chikane asked Kazuki to stay and wait for Himeko to come out Kazuki didn't like the idea of her being alone with her father but he did what she asked.

They both started walking soon after. "So why did you both agree not to tell us?" Chikane asked Saito as he lowered his head. "I don't know Kaze's reason but mine was to prove to you I can be the father I should have been the one I use to be. I didn't want you to think I was still a cold blood asshole." Saito sighed.

He soon stopped as he looked to see Chikane was in front of him. He looked up at her confused. Chikane smiled as she went and hugged Saito tightly. Saito froze caught off guard as he looked at Chikane shocked.

"You really are a fool it's true you weren't the nicest old man but you made me stronger something I'm glad you did. Thank you for that father or should I say dad." Chikane looked at Saito and smiled. Saito smiled as he went and hugged Chikane tightly. "Thank you Chikane and I am really sorry." Saito whispered into Chikane's ear.

"Don't be dad." Chikane whispered back as his hug got tighter. Karen she is so much like you I'm so proud Karen my old wish came true. Saito thought as he held Chikane in his arms a while longer.

Later.

Kaze and Himeko sat down on the ground next to each other.

"Himeko there is something else that we wanted to tell you both but since it didn't work out like we planed I'll just tell you. We are setting you both free." Kaze smiled. Himeko looked confused as Kaze started explaining. Meanwhile. Chikane looked confused at what her father just told her.

"I'll explain. You two will still be princesses of our kingdoms so if something happens then we will call on you both but we are letting you go free. You both may go where ever you wish. You don't have to stay here you both can explore the world." Saito smiled at Chikane who stopped walking and tried to take it all in.

She looked up at Saito who was surprised she stopped. "So you're saying we can go where ever we wish?" Chikane asked. "Yes that's what I am saying. The only thing is if we need you both please return to help you're old fools for fathers out." Saito smiled. Chikane smiled as she went and hugged Saito.

"Thanks dad." Chikane smiled at him as they both started walking and talking again.

Meanwhile.

Himeko was just as surprised as Chikane.

"So you're saying we can go anywhere and you both won't mind?" Himeko asked. "That's right anywhere you two want to go and of course I'm guessing Kazuki would come as well. But promise if we call you will come because sometimes we need are smarter daughters help." Kaze smiled as Himeko hugged him and smiled thanking him the whole time.

Later.

They all met up again and they told Kazuki the news as well he was very happy to hear it he was happier when they said he would be coming along with them.

Makoto and Souma soon walked over to where all the noise was happening. Kaze looked at Souma to see if he was still angry. Souma walked over and kneeled in front of the Kaze his king. "I understand what you did. I want to let you know that I do not hate you for it. But I wish to please stay Makoto's knight after all Himeko no longer needs me. She has her own knight to protect her." Souma smiled at Kaze.

Kaze smiled back as he helped Souma to his feet. Souma soon went over to Chikane. He went and kneeled down in front of her. "I'm sorry for how I was acting please forgive me and please take good care of Himeko." Souma said as he lowered his head. Chikane smirked as she knelt down in front of him and helped him up.

"Don't worry I think I know how you felt and don't worry I will protect Himeko." Chikane smiled at him and he smiled back. Makoto went and grabbed onto Souma's arm and Himeko grabbed onto Chikane's. "You two are so cute!" They both happily said. Chikane's and Souma's faces went red as they turned away to hide their red faces from their lovers.

Kaze and Saito looked at each other and smiled.

Soon after they told Makoto and Souma of their plans to let Chikane and Himeko go where ever they wished. Makoto and Souma would miss Himeko a lot but they knew that it was best for her to live life anyway they wished and so they did nothing to stop it. Himeko and Chikane decided to stay a few more days to spend with their families before leaving.

Later

. It is now the last night before they leave.

"Himeko is missing." Makoto panicked and then she saw Kazuki slowly wake up and look at her. "Makoto it's night time and a full moon outside where do you think big sis is?" Kazuki asked as he looked at Makoto with his sleepy dark golden eyes.

Makoto took a deep breath and calmed down as she smiled and relaxed knowing what he meant. "Sorry old habit. Go back to sleep Kazuki tomorrows a huge day for you." Makoto smiled as she went back to her bed they both fell back to sleep.

Meanwhile.

Himeko and Chikane where in their secret spot sitting under a tree looking up at the moon.

"Wow we have come a long way from that night." Chikane smiled as she closed her eyes feeling the moonlight hit her. "Yeah we have." Himeko smiled. "I can still remember it like it was yesterday. You sitting on that rock singing the most beautiful song. I thought you were an angle when I saw you." Chikane smiled as she looked at Himeko.

Himeko's face went red as she smiled back. "I thought the same thing when I saw you in the moonlight." Himeko soon laughed a little. "What?" Chikane asked. "Remember when I fell off the rock and we both landed in the water." Himeko smiled as she kept laughing.

"Yeah I remember I couldn't help but try to stop you from falling and yet I managed to end up falling in with you." Chikane smiled as she laughed as well. They both slowly stopped. "This place has a lot of good memories." Chikane sighed.

"Yeah." Himeko smiled as they both looked up at the moon and smiled as the wind blew on both of their faces and they both froze and looked at each other. "Mother?" Chikane asked. "Mom?" Himeko asked as they both looked back at the moon again and smiled. "They really have been watching us this whole time." Himeko laughed.

"Yeah I get the feeling they knew things would turn out this way it just took awhile longer then they thought." Chikane laughed as they both slowly stopped. "It's so peaceful now and I don't have to worry about my dad finding us like last time." Chikane sighed as Himeko's face went red remembering what happened that time.

Chikane noticed that and smiled just making Himeko's face get redder. Chikane couldn't help it anymore she went and lifted Himeko's face so they were face to face and went eyes closed and kissed Himeko's lips with her own. Himeko closed her eye and returned the kiss. Chikane soon pulled away and they both smiled at each other.

Chikane took her cape and covered both of them with it Himeko smiled as she lied her head down on Chikane's shoulder. Chikane felt that and put her arm around Himeko's waist and pulled her closer to her. Himeko felt that as her face went red and she looked up at Chikane. Chikane smiled as she went and yet again kissed Himeko soft warm lips.

Himeko closed her eyes and returned the kiss but soon Himeko's eyes snapped open and she pulled away. Chikane was confused as she looked at Himeko who not only pulled away from her but now she lowered her head and was avoiding her eyes.

"Himeko what's wrong?" Chikane asked as she reached to touch Himeko's face but stopped when she noticed Himeko was shaking and flinched. Chikane pulled her hand away and then froze and lowered her head. "Girochi." Chikane's voice sounded a mix of anger and sadness as she looked at Himeko.

Himeko slowly nodded her head yes as she closed her eyes tightly trying to forget about that night. Himeko soon opened her eyes when she felt arms go around her and pull her close in a tight hug. "I'm sorry Himeko." Chikane whispered as she held Himeko's shaking body tightly in her arms. Himeko closed her eyes as tears started coming down her face.

Awhile later.

Himeko pulled away just enough to be able to look at Chikane's worried royal blue eyes.

"Chikane please help me forget about him. Please." Chikane could hear that fear was still in Himeko's voice as she looked confused at Himeko. Himeko closed her eyes and Chikane was even more confused until she realizes that Himeko was waiting for her to kiss her.

Chikane instead went and hugged Himeko again. Himeko opened her eyes and was confused. "Himeko are you sure about this? I will love you no matter what I already told you that. I want to make sure it's something you really want." Chikane whispered.

"Please Chikane please." Himeko whispered back as she pulled away just enough to look into Chikane's sad royal blue eyes. "I wanted it to be with you but then…" Himeko stopped as she lowered her head. "Please Chikane I want to know how it feels when it's with someone you love." Himeko's face was really red now as she stopped talking.

Chikane couldn't help but smile.

Himeko looks so cute. Chikane thought as she went and lifted her mates face up so they are face to face. Chikane went and kissed Himeko's lips with her own as Himeko closed her eyes and her face got redder. Chikane soon pulled away and smiled. "If it's really what you want?" Chikane asked. Himeko nodded her head yes.

"Alright as you wish my princess." Chikane smiled as she went and kissed Himeko once again.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The next day.

Chikane slowly opened her eyes and smiled to see Himeko's sleeping face on her shoulder.

She went and kissed Himeko's forehead. Himeko felt that and slowly opened her eyes as Chikane pulled away and smiled. Himeko's face went red as she remembered last night's events as she went and fixed her kimono. She's so cute. Chikane thought as she went and fixed her kimono and then held Himeko closer to her. Himeko closed her eyes and smiled.

Chikane's so warm and I feel so safe in her arms. I'm glad that she's the one who I get to spend my life with. Himeko thought as she kept her head on Chikane's shoulder as they both stood that way awhile longer.

Later.

They returned back to the palace.

"Himeko you alright?" Makoto asked as she ran over to them. Everyone else followed. "I'm fine Mako." Himeko smiled. "See I told you she'd be fine after all she was with Chikane." Souma sighed as he looked at both of them. Kazuki went and hugged both of them. Kaze and Saito looked at each other and smirked. "Just like us." Kaze whispered and Saito nodded as they went over to everyone.

Later.

It was getting late and the horses were now ready and it was now time for them to leave.

Kazuki went and hugged everyone bye even Souma. Makoto wouldn't let go of Himeko and Chikane and Souma bowed their heads to each other and smiled. Finally Makoto let go and Himeko hugged Souma bye as Makoto hugged Chikane and once again asked to take good care of Himeko with a smile.

Chikane smiled back and now it was time for them to both say bye to their fathers. Himeko went and hugged Kaze tightly. "I'll miss you daddy." Himeko happily said with a smile. "I'll miss you too my little girl." Kaze happily said as his hug got tighter.

Chikane was in Saito's arms. "I'll miss you dad." Chikane sounded happy and made Saito smiled as his hug got tighter. "I'm going to miss you to my little princess." Saito smiled as they all stood like that for awhile longer. Kazuki, Souma, and Makoto all smiled at each other as they waited for them.

Soon after.

They let each other go and smiled.

"Both of you're mothers would be so proud." They both smiled at their daughters who smiled back at them and then at each other. Soon they got on the two horses Kazuki wanted to ride with Himeko first so once they were on they all said their last good byes as Chikane and Himeko rode off.

Souma and Makoto watched until they were out of sight before returning inside the palace. Kaze and Saito both smirked as they looked at each other and then back to where they saw their daughters ride off. "Watch over them and keep them safe." Saito smile.

"Just like you both have always done." Kaze smiled as they both whipped the tears from their eyes and returned inside the palace.

ONE YEAR LATER.

My lords a letter for both of you." Otoha smiled as she bowed and left.

Kaze and Saito both looked at each other as they opened it and they both smiled. Hey there dad and Kaze, we thought to ease you're worry that we should write a letter to let you both know we are just fine. We have been all over the place the world is so big but its fun to be exploring it. Kazuki loves it out here just as much as me and Himeko.

He started calling me mom awhile ago which made us both laugh but Himeko thought it was really cute and suited me just fine and since then it's been mom and big sis. Himeko is doing fine she's still her normal kind funny self she hasn't changed at all which is just fine with me. As for me I'm as happy as ever and so is Kazuki and Himeko.

Write back to us you guys we will stay in the same place until we get a letter back. All of our love you're daughters. Ps Kazuki said to let you know he is going to call you both either uncle or grandpa. Kaze and Saito laughed as they finished the letter.

"Our daughters are really something huh." Saito smiled. "Yup always have been always will be." Kaze smiled as they went and got some paper and were trying to figure out what they would write back.
