An alternative ending I made for my friend, when she asked that I make the ending happy. It is short, and does not show much of the twins. But still, it's a happy ending. A gift because you all supported me!

Chapter 22-Marriage

A woman clad in a white blouse, fitted black slacks, and black stilettos got out of the limousine parked in front of a mansion. She stopped for a moment, just to collect her thoughts, then walked to the main door. The butler opened it for her, as he bowed and said, "You're back early, madam."

"Well, I have urgent business. Is your master home?" she asked. The butler replied, "He's in the study, madam."

"And the children?" she inquired, as she went up the grand staircase. He followed her, and answered, "In their playroom. The Hyuuga twins are here for a visit."

She nodded, and ordered him to go back to his chores. Then she decided to drop by the children first, before she goes to talk with her husband.

Even from down the hall, she could already hear the children's laughter. It made her smile. When she got to the room, she knocked, and slowly opened the door.

"Mommy!" her twins exclaimed, as they saw her enter the room. Both got up and ran to hug their mother. Meanwhile, the other pair of twins stood up, and greeted, "Hi Aunt Hotaru!"

"Hi there, Sakura, Sora," Hotaru greeted back, ash she hugged her children. Then she released them, saying, "I just dropped by, but I need to go now I need to talk to your father. Have fun, all of you, okay?"

"Okay!" the children simultaneously replied. Then she went out of the room and continued her way to her husband's study.

"Hey," she nonchalantly said, as she entered the room not so quietly. She found him seated in front of his desk, buried in what seems to be the latest veterinary medicine book. He looked up at the sound of her voice, and surprise spread through his handsome features.

"What are you doing here?" Ruka asked. He dropped the book on his desk with a loud thud, and continued, "Don't you have, like, a bunch of very important meetings with clients today?"

"By the sound of your voice, it's as if you're trying to hide something, very much like cheating," Hotaru said coldly. His face paled, as he tried to make up an excuse. She rolled her eyes at his reaction, and smirked, as she said, "I was joking. I know you'd never cheat on me for so many reasons. And yes, I have important meetings today, but I thought this is more important."

Then she handed him an envelope. It was simple but elegant, with the loud colors of red and gold combined to give a bright but pleasant outlook. Ruka raised an eyebrow, and when he opened the envelope, he immediately understood what it was. And it made him grin widely.

It was a wedding invitation.

And the best part?

It was bearing their names.

Hyuuga Natsume and Yukihara Mikan.

You might notice that it is patterned after the first chapter. It is short, because this wasn't supposed to be the ending.

This is my last update for this story. If I already have the time and creativity to fix this story and make it longer, I'll make you all know.
