Epilogue:

"Goodnight, Sora." Hitsugaya leant down and pressed a kiss to his daughter's forehead.

"G'night, daddy!" The white-haired girl grinned as she pulled her blanket up to her forehead. He stood up straight and went across the room to the bed occupied by Shiki. The twins had been offered separate rooms (goodness knew there were more than enough empty chambers in the palace) but they liked sharing.

"G'night, daddy." Shiki muttered with a small smile. Hitsugaya smiled too and pressed a small kiss to the boy's brow.

"Goodnight, kid." He smoothed back Shiki's black hair from his face and straightened up again. He turned to walk out of the room but he was stopped by Sora's voice.

"Daddy?"

"Hmm?"

"Will you tell me what happens to the Prince and Cinderella?" She asked timidly.

Hitsugaya smiled. "Tomorrow, okay? It's time to sleep now."
"Hai." She said cheerily. Hitsugaya clicked off the light and closed the door and walked into his own bedroom.

"So, Cinderella, huh?" Karin asked as he slipped under the bedcovers beside her. She'd heard him through the open door. The twins' room was right next to theirs, after all.

"I don't know any other ones." He said defensively.

She laughed. "There's loads!"

"I know, but Cinderella's the one that best goes with us, right?"

She smiled affectionately and kissed his cheek. "Yeah..."

He pulled her closer and covered her mouth with his own. "But our story goes way beyond Cinderella, right?" He mumbled as he pulled away.

She grinned. "Too right." She leant in for another kiss. "Prince Charming never held the title of war hero."

"Forget about that already." He sighed. "It's already been seven years since then."

"I know, but I could never forget what it felt like when you came back home." She murmured as she rested her head against his shoulder. "I love you, Toushirou."

Hitsugaya smiled and held her close. "I love you too, Karin."

An it's "goodbye Shindererra forever!" Yes! Halleluja! It's finished! Yes! Whoot! Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah!
