At last, at last, at last!!! The final chapter! Kyaaaaaan!!! So happy!

Chapter 20: Happy End

"Oi, Mikan!"

With her usual long auburn hair and her big twinkly olive eyes, she turned around and saw Natsume running towards her. She smiled and stood still while waiting for him to reach her.

"Natsume!" Mikan said and hugged Natsume slowly. "You're back safely." Mikan said and Natsume smiled.

Natsume tilted his head and looked around. "Ne, where's Akira?" Natsume looked around.

"Aki-chan!!!" Mikan shouted and a boy running around the playground smiled and waved. He had raven-colored hair and deep crimson eyes. He continued to run when a little blonde haired girl was running behind him with a camera at hand. She had long blonde hair and deep blue eyes wearing an orange sundress.

"Hey, stop chasing me!" Akira shouted and ran faster.

"Not until you take a picture with me!" The girl shouted back.

Akira stopped in his pace when he saw Natsume next to Mikan. "Dad!" He shouted and ran towards Natsume. "You're back!"

Natsume smiled and picked the boy up when he reached his feet. "Ah, Akira, how've you been after I went on a business trip for a month?" Natsume asked.

"I'm fine, but that strange girl keeps on following me everyday in school. Can you scold her parents, please?" Akira smiled.

"Yes Hyuuga, do you dare scold me?" A woman walked up to Mikan and Natsume with a baby in her arms. She had shoulder-length raven hair and deep purple eyes wearing a red blouse and three-quarter jeans. A blonde man was walking next to her with his hands in his pockets.

"Mama, Akira-kun won't take pictures with me!" The girl cried.

"That's because you always show it to other girls and all the girls start calling me names!" Akira stuck his tongue out.

Natsume placed Akira down and Mikan walked over to hug the woman. "It's good to see you again, Natsume," The blonde man said and held out his hand. Natsume grinned and shook it but instantly pulled him into a big hug.

"It's good to see you too, Ruka," Natsume said and let him go from the hug. "Your daughter is exactly the same as your wretched wife," Natsume snickered.

"Yeah and how did your son happen to be somewhat like me?" Ruka asked and chuckled. "So what have you been doing? Other than helping Mikan with controlling Akira's Alice that is," Ruka asked.

"Business, if you've forgotten, I'm your wife's business partner," Natsume reminded. "Akira's Alice is growing rapidly; I still don't understand why Mikan won't suck the Alice out of him."

"Forget it Natsume, it's been six years, she knows what she's doing. Want to go have a drink? I've called in Koko and Mochu to come over to Yuu's and Nonoko's Restaurant and Bar tonight. We could finally celebrate your anniversary today since you missed out to come back on time yesterday," Ruka smirked. Natsume smiled and knocked fists with Ruka.

"I'll see you tonight then. After I put Akira to sleep," Natsume replied and Ruka nodded.

"Ne Hotaru, how come you could have two children before me?" Mikan whined.

"Ask Hyuuga, don't ask me. I'm not the one producing the seeds for your child," Hotaru said casually.

Mikan's face flushed and turned beet red. "Hotaru! How can you say that so casually in front of a child?!" Mikan shouted and Hotaru laughed.

"It's good to see you again, Mikan," Hotaru said and hugged Mikan lightly without crushing her baby.

"So what's his name?" Mikan asked and bent to get a closer look on the baby.

"Hiro," Hotaru smiled and poked the baby's nose. "Hiro Nogi," Hotaru repeated and smiled when the baby giggled as Mikan tickled its stomach.

Then Mikan suddenly look up when she heard some kind of gunshot. She turned around and saw Akira's hand in front of him with Hotaru's daughter on the ground crying. "Akira! Amanatsu!" Mikan shouted and ran towards Akira.

All the other kids at the playground got scared and started to run to their mothers or nannies. Mikan held out her palm in the air and closed her eyes shut. "Time!" She shouted and the world stopped moving.

"Wow! How'd you do that, mom?" Akira asked and grinned when he saw everyone frozen at their spot. Mikan plastered an angry face towards Akira and he shivered.

"I told you not to use your Alice in public. Even when I told you you're close to being a good Alice Master don't mean you can use it any time you feel like it," Mikan scolded.

"But Amanatsu always bother me, I can't stand it!" Akira complained.

Mikan shook her head slowly and ruffled Akira's hair. "We'll discuss about this later." Mikan said and walked over to the crying Amanatsu. She was bleeding very badly after Akira blasted two huge fire balls straight at her.

Mikan touched the girl's forehead and the blood faded so did the wound. She touched Amanatsu's legs and arms and the side of her cheek and Amanatsu was all cleaned up from the bleeding. "Next time, control your anger," Mikan reminded Akira and he nodded.

"Memora Erasis!" Mikan chanted and a huge orange glow surrounded the whole park. "Time!" Mikan shouted and the world started moving again.

"Amanatsu!" Ruka shouted but then realized that his daughter was just fine. "Eh?" He asked in confusion and looked at Natsume.

"Whose fault do you think that is?" Natsume smirked and Ruka chuckled.

"Oh goodness, what happened? What are you doing here Pi-chan? There's another hour to play," A mother said and her son smiled and went back to the playground as did the other children.

"I'm sorry," Akira said and bowed properly.

Amanatsu plastered an evil grin and placed her hands on her hips. "To pay back for what you did, you'll have to take twenty pictures with me!" Amanatsu smiled.

Akira's eyes widen and his face turned pale. "Iyada! No! Get away from me!" Akira returned back to his wild chase of no end.

Mikan and Hotaru laughed lightly when they saw their kids running around. "You are coming to your dinner celebration, aren't you?" Hotaru asked.

"Is there a way of getting out of it?" Mikan playfully asked and Hotaru shook her head. "Then I guess I'll have to come." Mikan smiled and hugged one of Hotaru's arms that weren't carrying the baby.

"Oi Mikan, let's go, I've got a few presents for Akira back in the apartment," Natsume said and Mikan nodded.

"Aki-chan! Dad and I are leaving now, let's go!" Mikan shouted and Akira punched his fists in the air since he could finally leave Amanatsu. He ran forth and grabbed both Mikan and Natsume's arms and continued running faster and not look back.

"Oi, Akira!" Natsume shouted when his boy had the strength and speed to pull both his parents out of the park.

"Aki-chan! Don't run too fast! Other people can see you!" Mikan shouted

"Then teleport us, mom!" Akira smirked and Mikan huffed.

"You naughty kid!" Mikan laughed and closed her eyes and Akira, Natsume and her disappeared into thin air.

Mikan was back in the kitchen making coffee while Natsume and Akira was in the living room opening presents. "Sorry for not being able to come home for your birthday yesterday, Akira," Natsume said and Akira hugged him.

(A/N: Yeah, Mikan and Natsume's anniversary is on the same day as Akira's birthday. After a year of getting married, they got Akira.)

"It's alright; at least you got me these presents! I'm really not upset!" Akira giggled and Natsume wrestled Akira on the sofa. With Akira's super strength, Natsume couldn't even lay a small punch on his own son.

"Now, now, no more wrestling. Akira, stop twisting your father's arms," Mikan said and she laid the coffee and cakes on the table.

"Not until he gives me another present for winning against him," Akira said and started to pull on Natsume's arm on his back.

"You won't win little guy," Natsume smirked and burnt his own body with his Fire Alice. Akira felt the temperature risen and jumped off of his father and started rolling on the floor because of the terrible heat.

"Uwa! No fair! You're not supposed to use your Alice against me! Mom told us that!" Akira shouted and clenched his fists when Natsume just stuck out his tongue.

"Stop it you two," Mikan said and touched Natsume's forehead and Akira's forehead. "There, you're suspended from using your Alice for a month." Mikan said and passed Natsume his coffee and Akira his hot chocolate and chocolate fudge cake. "So how was Hotaru's company down by Australia?" Mikan asked and Natsume laughed.

"You wouldn't believe how those workers were taking the pain of being replaced by machines. I had to walk all over the town to retrieve those workers to get other jobs. Some even refused to take another job since they don't have the skill," Natsume said solemnly. "I really want to help them. I know that five years ago, you made sure there are no more poor people in this world and everyone is equal, but some people like Imai is refusing to pay up to other people and wants to keep her money."

"Don't worry. The bank has a limit. They'll tell Hotaru that the money has been shipped over to her account but was actually transferred to those workers account," Mikan said and took a sip of her coffee.

"What'll happen when Hotaru realize that her money isn't increasing?" Natsume asked.

"I'll figure something out. For the time being, I need to place some kind of drug that could make her slightly less money-crazy," Mikan said and ate her cake slowly and Natsume joined her.

"Hey dad, how did you create the fire balls and shift them into an arrow. Mom told me the story of when you and she were fighting for this place called the Alice Academy," Akira said and Natsume faced Mikan and she shrugged her shoulders.

"He has the right to know," Mikan said and went to the kitchen to turn off the fire off the kettle.

"You imagine them to turn into arrows, but you need to have the intention to kill someone, then the balls will shape shift," Natsume said. "In this time of day, you don't need to learn that skill yet," Natsume said and pulled Akira's cheeks. "Cut down on your sugar treats! You're getting fat every time I get back from my business trips."

"Ne, dad, why don't you stay and work in Japan like mom? I mean, we're practically rich, why do we need more money? Mom can shift money into our account any day and in any amount," Akira said and finished his hot chocolate. "Don't you want to stay with mom forever?"

"You've got a big mouth for a small kid," Natsume said and leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes.

Flashback

Inside the box was an identical jewel to Natsume's earring only it's was a ring. "Will you marry me, Mikan Sakura?" Natsume smirked when he saw Mikan blushed furiously.

"Yes," Mikan said and Natsume hugged Mikan tightly.

"I missed you!" Natsume said and hugged her tightly.

"It's not the thing I wanted to hear," Mikan repeated the thing he said a year ago.

"Of course not," Natsume said and kissed Mikan. "I love you." Natsume said and pecked her on the lips.

"You're really late, do you know that?" Mikan giggled and hugged Natsume as everyone clapped their hands with their marriage announcement.

"I'd never miss the chance to see you, you know that?" Natsume said. "Hey, mother! Father! I'll be taking your daughter's hand in marriage, what do you say to that?" Natsume chuckled.

"Natsume! You could at least be formal to them!" Mikan scolded.

"It's alright, Mikan-chan," Aikawa said and smiled. "I give you my blessings, Natsume Hyuuga," Aikawa smiled and clapped his hands slowly and Yuka nodded her head in agreement.

"Looks like your prediction were right from before, Mikan. We're really going to have a happy ending!" Natsume smiled and kissed Mikan.

End of Flashback

"Natsume?" Mikan asked and Natsume finally turned his attention to her. "I've sent Akira to Narumi-sensei's place for him to take care of while we go for the celebration. Hotaru sent Amanatsu and Hiro there too," Mikan said gave a small peck on Natsume's lips. "Looks like you had a good sleep," Mikan smiled.

Natsume grinned and pulled Mikan to sit on his lap. He placed his head closer to hers and pulled her into a deeper kiss. Natsume loved her, her sweet scent, her sweet lips and her sweet personality. How could anyone resist someone like her? "Alright, enough playing, let's go. Ruka and Hotaru are getting furious," Mikan smiled and Natsume manage to kiss her one last time before he stood up.

"I'm too tired to walk to the room, just change my clothes for me, would you, Mikan?" Natsume asked with a smirk.

"I'm neither a witch nor a magician, Natsume. You've got hands and you've got feet, do it yourself," Mikan smiled and adjusted her pink sheath dress with slight frills on the bottom just above her knee. She puffed up her hair and wore a pink shade lipstick. Natsume came back out from the room in a perfect tuxedo suit.

"I'm guessing that's the seventh time you've worn that tuxedo. You only wear it to our wedding and our anniversaries," Mikan giggled. Natsume smiled and hugged Mikan from the back.

"I was only able to hug and kiss you freely seven years ago. After the war, we were free. All thanks to you," Natsume said and kissed Mikan's cheek.

"I was only able to do it because of you," Mikan replied and kissed Natsume's nose. "Come on, let's go. I can hear Ruka's thoughts saying how late we are," Mikan giggled and teleported them to the lobby of their apartment.

"Finally!" Ruka said. "We've been waiting for nearly a half hour," Ruka said. "It's going to take us twenty minutes to drive from here to Yuu's bar," Ruka said and folded his arms. "We better get going."

"Who ever said we were driving?" Mikan asked. Hotaru rushed from the restroom and stood next to Ruka. Mikan closed her eyes shut and they disappeared with the wind.

"To Natsume and Mikan! May you continue to stay together like this, forever!" Mochu toasted and everyone clanked their glasses.

"Cheers!" They said in unison and drank the red wine that Yuu prepared. "So Mikan, how's your global peace project going on?" Yuu asked.

"Fine I guess, I mean, it's peaceful now isn't it?" Mikan asked and everyone laughed.

"I heard your son Akira has the same Alice as Natsume, is that right?" Sumire asked and Mikan nodded. "Why didn't you take back his Alice? You said you don't want anymore mayhem in this world."

"I couldn't," Mikan said. "There must be an Alice heir in this world or else humans will seize to exist," Mikan continued to drink her glass of wine and asked Yuu to pour some more. "I've taught him the basics of holding the Fire Alice. Natsume isn't home so he couldn't teach him much."

"Not anymore," Natsume said and everyone looked at him. "I'm staying with Mikan from now on. Like you guys said, forever." Natsume said and pulled Mikan's shoulder closer to him.

"Looks like it's a good time for me to tell you the news," Mikan said and everyone paid their attention to her. "I'm…pregnant," Mikan said and everyone's jaws dropped; including Natsume's.

"Why didn't you tell me anything?" Natsume asked.

"Well, we only manage to do it once five months ago. Now I'm about five months pregnant. I didn't want to tell you 'cause it might bother your job," Mikan said.

"I will so kill you when we're back at home," Natsume said and hugged Mikan.

"Congratulations, Mikan," Nonoko said followed by Anna.

"So is it a boy or a girl?" Misaki asked.

"Well, I had dreams of snakes for the past couple of months and the doctor said dreams of snakes means that it could be a girl," Mikan said and Ruka hugged her.

"Congratulations Mikan-chan," He said and Hotaru nodded her head.

"Does anyone else have good news? Hotaru suddenly asked. Sumire elbowed lightly to Mochu. Mochu made a face and Sumire strike a glare to him and he obliged.

"Well, to tell you the truth, the both of us are getting married next month," Mochu said and Nonoko and Anna squealed.

"Finally! I thought you guys would never stop dating and settle down already!" Koko chuckled.

"I guess this year is full of good things," Natsume said and everyone agreed. He held up his glass and everyone did the same. "Cheers to all of the blessings that were given to us by the Heavens." Natsume said and everyone shouted 'cheers' once again.

Meanwhile…

"Akira! Stop running!" Narumi shouted. "Amanatsu, stop chasing Akira!" Narumi scolded. "Ah, shh…shh…stop crying little Hiro!" Narumi patted and carried Hiro in his arms while trying his best to chase Amanatsu to prevent her from getting to Akira.

"MIKAAAAAAAAAN!!!! HEEEEEELPPP!!!!" Narumi screamed.

Well that was the last chapter. How'd you like it? Not satisfying? Well, I was planning to write a short extra chapter about Akira's future or something. Maybe in a sequel? I don't know. Anyway, I thank everyone who's read this story. Arigatou gozaimashta!
