Epilogue

Ryoko slowly sat up scrubbing her face before recoiling at the wetness there. Her lip twitched slightly realizing she had been drooling. Using part of her sleeve to wipe away the drool she stood and stretched letting her bones pop back into place. Walking away from her desk she opened the fridge in the small apartment. Opening the small box she scanned over the contents and grabbed a bottle of water.

Drinking the water she walked back towards the scuffed desk. Thumbing through a worn journal she smiled around the bottle scanning over the adventures she had written about. The whole thing had been like a dream; some parts a nightmare but others were wonderful and special. Events she would never forget. Closing the journal she picked up a second year medical textbook and wandered over to her futon. Lounging out across it on her belly Ryoko began to read the text again for her upcoming test. Her eyes drooped as she tried to concentrate.

She awoke feeling warmer than normal. Ryoko went to get up and felt a weight around her waist pull her back in to something warm. Looking over she smiled slightly at the sleeping face of Takashi. He pushed his nose into her red hair and held her tight around the waist. It wasn't strange for him to stop in for a visit; being the apartment wasn't far from the college but he normally didn't just let himself in. It was just proof that after a year he found himself comfortable in the small apartment.

Wiggling a little eager to get free she felt his grip on her waist tighten again. Sighing she reached back and poked him in the face. He grumbled and she did it again to which he buried his face against her neck. Ryoko squeaked at the sensation. A small smile split across his face.

Ryoko pouted poked him harder. He breathed softly against her neck feigning sleep. "I know you're awake."

"No, I'm asleep." His voice came from just behind her ear.

"Takashi." She warned.

His low chuckle rumbled against her back before he sat up and leaned over her planting a kiss to her temple. "Not doing much studying I see."

"Sleeping on a book is a very old study practice." Ryoko said before squirming again. "Now let me up."

Takashi let go of her in mid struggle and she tumbled off the futon. Yelping as she hit the ground with a thud Ryoko wasn't surprised to see hear him gasp. He looked over the edge and she reached up grabbing his shirt. His eyes widened as she yanked him off the furniture. Catching himself he blushed at the situation it looked like they were in. She smiled pushing herself up meet him. After everything she had found…

"Home." She mumbled pressing her lips to his in a gentle kiss.
