Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket, but I will own your head if you don't read the memos at the beginning and end of this chapter!
Sorry for the threat, but I have a feeling that not many of you read either the top or bottom memo. I suggest you do, because some of what I say there really is important. So, start getting used to reading the author memos and reading, because if you're sticking with me for my sequel, it would be best if you did. Now, here's the last chapter. Enjoy it, because you won;t get anything else until my next story, unless you count the preview I have gone into detail about in the bottom memo. Read!
Chapter 23
"Amaya! I thought you had left!" Megumi quickly got to his feet and faced her. She just stared at him for a bit, thinking.
"I am going to go; you do know that, right?" Megumi nodded solemnly. "Besides, that plane wasn't my plane at all. I just couldn't leave without saying goodbye to you." (Ha ha ha, all that drama for the wrong plane XD ha ha ha ha, I bet I have you so sad. I know I had you sad!) Megumi suddenly felt like an idiot. He had cried, while Amaya watched, because of a mix up (I'd feel embarrassed too!).
"Well, we better get you back; we don't want Mi Nami to be waiting." Blushing, Megumi grabbed her hand and attempted to pull her to the plane. He had not noticed that she was just looking at the spot he had been in, until he felt a tug at his hand, showing she hadn't moved.
"No, I want to personally say goodbye to you, here and now." Amaya could not believe she had just said such a stubborn, and even a bit horny, group of words stranded together to make one heck of a lot embarrassing sentence.
"Fine with me…"

"Where is she?" Mi Nami looked out at the runway, waiting for Amaya to appear, with the engines already on. She caught a glimpse of Megumi and Amaya running towards the plane, holding hands (heh, Megumi wasn't running, it was more like being dragged along by Amaya). "Well, well, well." She actually laughed at the sight, also feeling bad for Megumi.
The whole group of Junishii and friends looked over to see the couple slow down and walk over to the stairs. Amaya turned around when she got to the bottom of the stairs and planted a firm kiss on Megumi's lips, whispering a soft goodbye as she turned around and ran up the pull away stairs. She stood beside Mi Nami and waved goodbye to everyone before going in and sitting in her seat.
The stairs were pulled away from the plane, and it took off slowly down the runway. It started picking up speed until its wheels finally left the ground. Amaya looked out her window to see Tokyo and all her friends disappearing beneath the clouds. She had a new life ahead of her, and she had to make the best of it.
Rei sat in her lap, sleeping, and Mi Nami at her side, fiddling with the seatbelt stretched across her lap. Sensing Amaya's gaze, she looked up and smiled.
'Yes, today is the beginning of a journey, I can feel it.' Amaya returned the smile. She was free.
