Chapter 13 (Wrapping loose ends and wedding bows.)
They make it through the portal and land in Cody's room. Chizuru feels her head and she still has her ears and tail sticking out. "Chizuru your tail and ears can't be visible here. We also need to change your name." Chizuru nods "Anything to be able to stay with you… Leaf leaves and shuts the door I will leave you to help her adjust to life here." Cody and her talk for a while finally deciding on naming her Katlyn. Katlyn, your ears and tail will disappear for now, but when no one else around..." Cody grins and Kisses her. She breaks off the kiss and looks at him "Katlyn has a nice ring to it…" She strips down to her underclothes and Cody goes to take a shower. She takes one after him her hair wet when she comes out. Cody brushes it, she lays down with him, and they fall asleep wrapped in each other's arms…
Cody's alarm goes off and Chizuru moans. What is that for?" That means it is time for school." "Oh, right what are you freshmen?" "Senior and you are too. Cody and Chizuru get to school after a haggled bus ride. "That was terrible… I think the only those guys looked at was my chest." "Well, welcome to human high school, where guys are perverts. Fortunately, I am your boyfriend and can take care of you." Cody get to school and Katlyn has a locker right next to him." They get to speech class and the teacher introduces herself and tells Katlyn that her pretest is to introduce herself to the class as a new student. She speaks brilliantly and all the girls that once had everyone's attention become like yesterday's newspaper. Cody makes sure all the guy keep their distance and they manage to make it to fifth hour band class. The teacher introduces her and asks her what she plays. "Anything that can be played." The teacher hands her a flute and she plays a few major scales with crystal, clear tone and accuracy. She gets a clarinet and the same thing happens. Saxophone, trombone, bassoon, piano, drums and when she gets out a trumpet that is where everyone melts. She goes to run a scale and falters surprising everyone. "Um, Cody what was the fingering for Bb again?" Cody pushes down the first valve on his trumpet and she nods playing the scale up and down correctly this time. "I think she might give you a run for your money Cody, I say let her challenge you…" Cody nods and the band teacher places a piece of music on each of their stands. "You have one minute to sight-read this…go!" Cody and Katlyn fly through the music reading and noting things carefully. "Time…" All right now both of you go to the back of the room this will be anonymous… Player #1 flawless tone and technique ripple through the air with this player nailing everything in this piece to the wall. Player #2 tone that sound like heaven ripples the air. Flawless playing and technique ensue with the player even adding embellishments to the music to improve it. The class votes and player #2 wins most of the class. Cody walks out and Katlyn walks behind him to distinguish herself from him. "So which one was player #2? Katlyn points to Cody and grins. "He is way better than the person who I took piano and music lessons from as a kid." Cody sits first chair with her sitting second and soon they are in the state newspaper for the best trumpet duets in the state. They go to a competition and advance to nationals. They play taps and revelry winning nationals and advancing to world. They duke it out with the best of the best. Katlyn loses to Allison Balsom who loses to Tine Helsheth Cody plays against her and wins being crowned the top trumpeter in the world. Katlyn and him go home and celebrate happily. Cody and Katlyn graduate from high school and go on to college to study music. Katlyn gets an offer to run track and she accepts she take the role as a sprinter and finishes a 100 in 10.3 seconds. The coach tells her to do it again, she finishes in a 10.2, and she let off the gas a few yards before. She hasn't broken a sweat and isn't breathing hard at all. She goes on to win state, nationals then makes it to the Olympics where she runs against other women and smokes them by a whole second. She runs against men and finally Usain bolt. She beats his record by a whole second and the whole world applauds. Cody and Katlyn finish College and live together for a while then Cody proposes to her and they get married.

Authors note:
Everyone asks me… What happened to Leaf? She became an accomplished author and illustrator. Music is also a part of her life as a hobby and she enjoys spending time with her brother and her sister-in-law. There is also a niece in her life who she spoils constantly. She stayed single, but adopted a little boy to add some spice to her life. One day, she typed up a manuscript for a novel and was going to have it published when there was a knock at the door. She answered it and someone who she thought she would never see again appeared at the door. "H-Haruhi?" "Leaf, I found a way between our worlds!" Leaf falls over faintly and wakes up in a hospital bed with Cody and her son looking at her. Cody becomes animated and hugs Leaf… "Your son has been terrified, you were out for two days. She pulls him into her chest and ask Cody what happened. You had fainted in front of your doorway and I looked at your computer and noticed a typed letter from Haruhi… "Sorry I scared you… I hope you will be all right. You seem to have a nice life and your son is a really nice boy. I am glad I got to meet you maybe someday I will see you again…" Cody closes the letter and Leaf sighs wearily… She always has to have the last laugh doesn't she…?
This chapter has a lot of fillers and I think I will re-write it. However, the ending is good, if I could find a better way to get there! :p Let me know what you thought of the story overall!
