Epilogue
Kyoya- He went on to study the medical systems in America and Canada. He eventually ended up starting his own branch of the Ootori Zaibatsu. Many reporters and corporate heads postulated that if Kyoya completely separated from his family, he would be more powerful than his father. By all means, he succeeded his brothers.
During his time in the Americas, he actually ended up becoming close with Lucas. He met his future girlfriend, a fellow dancer, and it became the talk of, practically everything.
Lucas- Ended up meeting his future boyfriend because of the show, Jeremy was a contestant and fell in love with Lucas' choreography and eventually Lucas. The two had issues getting married as several states changed their policies depending on what administration was currently in power. But, they finally got married and adopted a 4 year old girl.
The Twins- Hikaru and Kaoru had established their various identities and completely doted on Ageha (their younger sister by nearly 20 years). The both lived in various countries in Europe but visited home frequently because of Ageha.
Takashi and Haruhi- They ended up having 3 kids. Kotoko, of course, was the first born. Five years later, they had fraternal twins. Shortly after the birth of the twins, Takashi's grandmother passed. Tamaki officially took over and turned the Japanese business world in an uproar when the next heir of the Suoh group was named as Kotoko, not the first born son.
Haurhi went back to school after 6 months staying home with Kotoko. It took her a year to return after the twins. She did become a lawyer. In fact, she was a lawyer within Morinozuka Group, representing small, family owned businesses that were being cheated by larger corporations.
Mitskuni and Reiko - Although the first to get married, they were the last to have kids. They had two: a boy and a girl. Reiko became a famous goth/steampunk novelist and her stories were being converted to mangas, animes, live action dramas, and video games.
Mitskuni became the head of a Research and Development Group within the Haninozuka Corporation and developed many patents and trademarks. He, of course, still taught self-defense and martial arts to various security organzations, to include the SDF and the Ootori's Black Onion Squad.
and last but not least,Takashi and Izumi
The engagement was formally announced to all of Japan: formal pictures, announcements, press releases. It was overwhelming. There was some controversy over Izumi being "dark," and Izumi responded in kind by hanging out a lot in the summer. (Takashi didn't mind, he loved her tan lines.)
Many wedding planners, florists, designers, musicians - any vendor type you can imagine in a wedding were throwing themselves at Takashi and Izumi. Everything for free just to have the chance to be associated with class, style, politics, power. The head designer for their outfits, was of course, the Twins' mom. Secondary designer (aka, assistant) was Mei.
With all the chaos of the engagement, they promised each other to take their time in planning. Takahi wanted to finish college first. So over a year later, at 23, they married in a traditional Shinto wedding in a private ceremony. They had another wedding, where the Host Club went to Hawaii and watched them get married on the beach, the same beach Izumi's parents were married.
A year and a half after marrying, they decided to have kids. Izumi, to her own surprise, was actually a wonderful mom. She loved being a mom so much, she quit working. Izumi and Takashi ended up having 4 kids, each about 1.5 to 2 years apart. Two boys and two girls. Of course, there were tons of pets.
Takashi graduated and was formally acceptanced as Apprentice Head Lawyer to the Haninozuka Corporation (but within the Morinozuka Group). The announcement was made at the same time Mitskuni's position was. They were the talk of Japan for months. Takashi was a splendid Head of House and his parents couldn't be happier.
Izumi's inner demons calmed and bedtime stories always included a little something about her parents. Plus, nothing happened with Takashi. They were together until the very end. It was the ultimate love story, despite how "Poor tragic girl rescued by magnificent prince" it was. But hey, as Takashi and Izumi like to explain it to their kids, "Everyone deserves a fairy tale and a happy ending."
