Whoa, it's been quite a while, hasn't it? Like, its-been-almost-6-months kind of awhile. oops. Argh, I'm so very sorry! /bows deeply. My KuroFai muse started to die out on me, and I haven't had the motivation to write fanfiction in forever x.x But recently I remembered that I still hadn't given you guys the epilogue to this story that I started forever ago like I promised, and I decided to type up the rough draft that I wrote months ago just in case anyone was still following this story! I can't believe I waited so long to do this... OTL. I hope you like it anyway, though!

Cherry blossoms were blooming everywhere across Nihon. The snow and cold had finally had come to pass. Spring had arrived.

Spring was Tomoyo's favorite season—it was warm, but not overbearingly hot, and the sakura trees brought a lightness and beauty to the land. The blossoms had just started blooming in her country, but here in Nihon, they were already opened in their full glory.

"Welcome back, Tomoyo-chan!" Shira greeted her with a smile as she entered the castle. "It's been a while, huh?"

Tomoy smiled back at her. "It has. I've missed you, Shira."

"Kurogane should be out in the courtyard. I can escort you there if you like."

Nodding, Tomoyo replied, "Thank you."

Shira bounced along the corridors, Tomoyo following close behind. After a couple of minutes, they came to a door towards the back of the castle. Like all of the doors here, it was large and sturdy, with polished silver knobs engraved with fancy patterns.

"The King's Quarters are through here. If you need anything, don't be afraid to ask," Shira told her.

Tomoyo bowed her head, still smiling. "Thank you again." Walking through the door, Tomoyo entered a rather large, white room, with a king-sized bed at the back. On the bed sat Kurogane.

Slowly, she approached him. "Kurogane-kun?"

Kurogane looked up and blinked. A shadow of emotion passed over his eyes—what was it?—before he said, "Hello, Tomoyo-chan. Have a seat."

Closing the distance between them, Tomoyo sat next to Kurogane, sinking into the soft mattress.

"Touya and Yukito-san got married the other day," Tomoyo started.

"Touya's the Clow Kingdom's king, right? The princess's brother?" Kurogane asked.

"Yes," Tomoyo replied. "Sakura and Syaoran have set a date for their wedding, too. Seems like everyone's getting married." She chuckled.

Kurogane awkwardly rubbed the back of his head. "I…want to apologize again for deceiving you. I—"

"Kurogane." Tomoyo gently took his right hand in both of her small ones. "You've apologized enough, and I've forgiven you. It's alright."

Kurogane knew that Tomoyo was a dream seer. She'd foreseen many possible futures and was prepared for each outcome. Not to mention she didn't seem to be very good at getting angry. Even knowing all this, Kurogane couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Really, it's alright," she continued. "My mother set me up with another person recently."

Kurogane nodded, understanding that this was one of the futures she'd seen, too. He asked no more questions.

"So," Tomoyo went on, a playful grin on her face, "have you and Fai set a date yet?"

Kurogane's face grew pink, and Tomoyo giggled. It was amusing to see someone as rough as Kurogane become bashful at the mention of the other's name. "Not yet," he admitted.

"When you do, tell me," she said, rising from the bed. "I won't forgive you if you don't!"

"Of course, Princess," Kurogane replied, gingerly taking Tomoyo's hand and kissing it.

"Kuro-wan~" a voice came from behind them. "That could be considered cheating!"

They turned, seeing Fai pouting slightly, arms crossed, wearing a kimono. His bright golden eyes were narrowed with mock anger. Tomoyo giggled again before saying, "Don't worry, Fai-kun, he's all yours."

Fai gave her a soft smile and walked over to the bed. "It's good to see you again, Princess Tomoyo."

"I'm happy to see you too," Tomoyo replied, "but sadly I can't stay very long. I have some business to take care of in town as well."

"Of course. Feel free to stop by again whenever you like!"

"Will do," Tomoyo said, making her way to the door. "I'll leave you two boys alone for now. See you around!"

Fai flung his arms around Kurogane's neck, saying "See you soon~" while Kurogane crossed his arms and looked away. Tomoyo gave them a final small wave before disappearing behind the door.

"I've never seen you so shy, Kurorin," Fai teased, resting his chin on the other's shoulder, smirking.

"Tch," was all Fai got in reply.

"I'm glad you found me," Fai said softly. "If you hadn't come after me back then, I wouldn't be able to see the cherry blossoms bloom with you."

"Well, if you didn't save me, I wouldn't be able to see things like that at all. So we're even."

"My magic was a small price to pay," Fai replied, resting his head on Kurogane's shoulder and looking up at him with his golden eyes. "No one has a reason to come after me anymore, either. So you can have me all to yourself now~"

"You better be prepared to be Nihon's next queen."

Fai beamed and kissed Kurogane on the cheek. "Of course." Then he produced a white paper bird from his kimono sleeve.

"What is that?" Kurogane inquired.

"A paper crane," Fai replied. "They say if you fold one thousand paper cranes, your wish will come true."

"Heh."

"What's so funny?"

"You and your fairy tales." Kurogane shook his head. Fai placed the crane down on the bed.

"Well, we started out with a fairy tale, didn't we?"

"True. But I think I'm done with myths and wishes for now. We have the present to worry about."

Fai grinned, grabbing onto Kurogane's arm again. "Speaking of the present, isn't today the day we announce our engagement?"

Kurogane nodded.

Intertwining his fingers with Kurogane's, he pulled him towards the door. "Well then, we mustn't keep his Majesty's people waiting~"

Kurogane instead pulled Fai closer to himself and kissed the top of his head. "Its alright…they can wait just a little bit longer."

Fai blushed, then said, "I love you, Kuro-sama."

"Love you too, fool."

The days and nights that followed...

Were looked upon with bright new eyes.
