And here's how things have turned for the better post-Kuzan confrontation!

Epilogue

In the months that had followed since the events that occured, things were looking up for not only Yuki and the Bushido-Akio clan, but also for Yuki and Ikuto as well as their relationship grew a heck of a lot stronger as they've remained together as a couple. Ikuto made sure that Yuki is safe, loved and protected and has a very soft heart towards her. He may have his moments with his temper often times, but Yuki could always help him calm him down from time to time in case he loses it. The number-one thing that Ikuto would never dare to do with his temper is take it out on Yuki and hurt her. He loves her too much to do any harm to her and the thing about Yuki, she can always help him with anything and what he loves about her is not only her beauty, but her golden heart.

During those months, Saori had finally given birth to their 12th and final child, Joy Aiko Bushido-Akio Okami as well as taking in two orphans; Mikey, a 12-year old black panther and Dax, an 8-year old mountain lion as a huge part of the Bushido-Akio family. But not only that...but they also took in the five orphans who were prisoners in Kuzan's prison cave; the 14-year old male Bengal tiger named Mateo, the 11-year old female snow leopard named Diamond, a 16-year old white wolf named Kenshin, a 9-year old female black wolf named Sky and the 6 year old male snow leopard named Jinshin into the family; resulting in having 20 kids in Max and Saori's house, despite having Mason having his own place with his mate, child and a few adopted kids.

Seto finally got to be a father to a healthy baby boy which they named after his father, Maximus Spyro Bushido-Akio III and he's definitely getting the chance to be the father he wants to be...and he still balances his maturity and playful nature and retires from pranking...at least for now that he occasionally pranks Yuki.

In spite of all of that, several years afterwards, Yuki and Ikuto have officially got married and they're now Mr. and Mrs. Yashida and now the Bushido-Akio/Okami clan merged with the Yashida's as they're big union and after Yuki and Ikuto were husband and wife, Max was so proud of his daughter getting married to the most awesome guy in the world, although it was kinda hard to let his first daughter go and get married. But he knows for a fact that she'll always be her sunshine and that she's in good hands.

Akashi was both happy for Yuki and Ikuto and hysterically emotional to see his niece get married and he lets it be well known by howling in tears and blowing her nose with Miyo's handkerchief...which results in Miyo slapping Akashi to the face for having his wolf snot all over her handkerchief.

Everyone in both families were so happy for Yuki and Ikuto as they finally got married and started their lives together and they know for a fact that this is gonna be the best times of their lives and they know that it's gonna be a sweet marriage between a berserker wolf and a white tigress.

"It's only just beginning." Ikuto said, looking at his new bride.

"I'm looking forward to our future together." Yuki said, happily.

Lei and Yang came by to embrace their daughter-in-law and they hugged her with huge acceptance as Lei knew that these two are meant to be together while Max and Saori embrace their son in law as the siblings welcome their new brother in law and it looks as if both families are completely embracing each other and Akashi was really happy with the fact that Lei and Yang are now members of the family and the happiest news; now that Ikuto's married to Yuki, it also means that Kira is his new cousin.

"We're cousins! Can you believe this?!" Kira said, excitedly.

"I can hardly believe it!" Ikuto replied, happily.

Just then, Kira sees her boyfriend Rex come in and he's completely smitten with this whole thing and he smiles at her and he looks at Yuki and Ikuto and said, "Congrats, you guys. You guys are definitely meant to be together."

"Thanks. That means a lot coming from you." Ikuto said, smiling.

Just then, Rex's old friend Raikoda comes by and both of them have gotten much tighter than ever before and it's definitely an amazing family affair that he's happy to be a part of and everyone comes over to gather for a family picture as the bride's side stands on the left while the groom's side is on the right and this would definitely be a picture-perfect memory to cherish.

23 years later (Yuki and Ikuto are in their mid-40's, BTW; Ikuto's 45 and Yuki's 44)

Ikuto has gotten a older, wiser and much mature than ever before and he's meditating while hearing the waterfall from right behind him and felt the wind blowing through his fur as he meditates for a while.

After just 10 minutes...

"Daddy!"

Ikuto opened his eyes and sees his cub, a 5 year old berserker wolf/white tiger hybrid named after his father and he smiled as the young cub ran to his arms and Ikuto held onto him and hugged him tightly and said, "Hey, son. How are ya, buddy?"

"Great, daddy. I've just gotten a little taller." Ikuto II replied.

"Really? You are getting to become a big boy, aren't ya?" asked Ikuto.

Soon enough, in comes five more kids coming in; a teenage male berseker wolf named Rocky, another teenage male white tiger named Seth, a preteen white tigress named Faith, a young 9 year old female berserker wolf named Destiny and a white tigress/berserker wolf female hybrid named Shine with their mother behind them...seemingly pregnant with their seventh child. Ikuto gets himself up as he holds Ikuto II and walks towards his wife Yuki, kissing her on the lips and rubbing her belly to show a lot of affection and Ikuto asked, "So...how are you?"

"I'm doing pretty good. Just looking forward to our new baby cub." Yuki said, happily.

"Me too." Ikuto agreed.

"I wish we could do more kids, but I think we've reached the point where both of us are getting quite older." Yuki stated.

Ikuto figured she had a good point with that and he looked at Yuki and said, "Well...you're still very beautiful to me and that never gets old."

Yuki giggled in response to that and appreciates the compliment and kissed her wolf husband on the nose while some of the kids responded with an 'Ooooh' as they're looking and Yuki looks at the kids and said, "Seth, it's your turn to babysit Ikuto II."

"Really, mom?" asked Seth, looking a little annoyed.

Yuki gave him a stern look on her face that reads 'do as I say now' and he did do what she asked as Ikuto hands Ikuto II over to Seth as he walks inside the house with him as their oldest son Rocky looks at his mother and said, "Think it'll be a brother?"

"I kinda want another sister." Faith responded.

"There's like three sisters already. Isn't three enough?" asked Rocky.

"I wouldn't mind either way." Destiny added.

Yuki chuckles a little bit and tells them, "All right, guys. You'll know sooner or later."

Months later, in the hospital

Ikuto walks into Yuki's hospital room and when he saw his seventh-born child, he walks over and sees his new son for the first time and he was already tearing up when he saw him and Yuki said, "Say hello to your new son."

Ikuto held his new son for the first time and it was a berserker wolf with tiger stripes and he nuzzled him softly and kissed him and said, "Hey, son. Welcome to our family."

"Isn't this wonderful?" asked Yuki, tearing up.

"Yes, it is. I'm gonna name him after my father; Yang Shanghai Yashida Bushido-Akio Okami." Ikuto replied.

Minutes later, the family comes in and Rocky, Seth, Faith, Destiny, Shine and Ikuto II meet their new brother and they immediately embrace him and in comes Lei, Yang, Max, Saori, the rest of the Okami clan, plus Kira and her husband Rex comes in to be there for this amazing family moment and they couldn't imagine a much better moment than right now.

Akashi looked at his new nephew and said, "Yang II, welcome to our big family."
