"Take a look at this."

"Hold on." Shouya looks through the photos on his sister-in-law's camera. Not one of them were of Taki and Mitsuha. All of the picture were of a dark-haired girl with a hime cut, wearing a slimming red dress, and a white necklace wrapped around her neck. As he scrolls the camera's library, Shouya search becomes more and more futile as he finds more photos of the girl: angrily banging on a door, crying at the wedding ceremony, catching a bouquet, and so on.

Setting the camera down on his lap for a second, Shouya begins to interrogate his sister-in-law's intentions. "These are great photos, but why are they all of Yotsuha?"

"She looks great with her let down like that, plus if you saw a cute girl wearing a slender, red dress like that would you take a picture of her?"

"I wouldn't. I'm happily married." Shouya poses his hand in front of his face as he proudly shines his wedding ring at her.

"Well, Yotsuha was aesthetically pleasing that day."

Unable to find answers, Shouya quickly ups the ante with the questioning. "Do I sense an attraction from one Imouto to another, hmmm?" Shouya grins as he stares at Yuzuru, testing her will to not leak any vital information. With Shouya's pupils clear in detail, the distance between their faces os too unbearable for her to stand any longer. She quickly grabs the camera from him and frantically presses buttons to scroll to a series of videos of the wedding reception. The selection stops at video where you could hear Mitsuha yelling out to her little sister.

"Yotsuha! Catch!" The bouquet lands into her arms, and with a successful catch the festivities paused for a brief moment. All eyes were on her now.

"I wish you the best Yotsuha!" Taki yells out as Mitsuha waved at her little sister, happy for her bright future.

Chants of "TAKAGI! TAKAGI!" could be heard from the sides as Takagi hysterically tries to silence the crowd. While he himself didn't mind the teasing, he was prompted so out courtesy for his date who is on the verge of tears.


"Oh, poor Takagi," Miki holds her phone for Tsukasa, Tessie, and Sayaka to see. "I think we may have gone overboard with the teasing."

"It's alright, my dear," Tsukasa takes a sip of his coffee. "He tried to one up our wedding gift anyway. Nee, Takagi?" Takagi emerges from the door with his clothes covered with blotches of soil.

"I would've chipped in too, but you four were so indecisive that I decided to give my own." Wiping his face with a rag, he grabs a chair for himself and joins the group.

"A getaway to the hot springs isn't as extravagant as a trip to New York, but I guess your feelings are justified," Tessie says trying to sympathize with his jealous friend. He looks at the apron that Takagi left on the back of the chair he is sitting on. "Hey don't you two have a flower shop business to take care of?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Miki points a biscotti at Tessie. "We're trying to be good hosts to our guests."

"And that's why you have me working up front? Some friends you guys are." Takagi says sarcastically.

"Consider it as punishment." Miki asserts in a firm tone.

"Don't change the subject so abruptly, Tessie." Tsukasa mimics his wife's gesture with his mug.

"Sorry…"

"Yuzuru-chan seems to take a liking to Yotsuha as well." Sayaka points out to the group. "I do recall that girl taking an awful lot of solo shots of Yotsuha."

"Maybe she likes how Yotsuha models on camera." Tessie adds.

"All of her pictures were candid…"

All three boys look at her with a frightened look on their faces. "Creepy…"

The video continues to run as the five of them continue to gaze at the screen.


As the crowd continues to cheer for Takagi, a voice causes the camera to turn towards Sayaka's direction.

"Hold on, I heard she likes Yuzuru-chan over there!" Sayaka points to the table where the Nishimiyas were sitting. Shouya spills a piece of cake as the news reached him within earshot.

"Oh, that's great!" Shouya blurted as he slams his hands on top of the table. With little hesitation he signs to Shouko about the exciting news.

"I'm happy for you!" Shouko signs with her fingers. Yuzuru denies her everyone's claims and grabs the camera back from whoever was holding it. Before she stops the video she had one more message to convey to the viewers.

"We're just friends STOP!"

With an sudden cut, the video ends abruptly.

"Why'd you stop the recording?"

"Because I felt attacked." Yuzuru rocks her chair back, her eyes staring at the ceiling.

Suddenly a ball of paper hits the top of her head from behind, she fixes herself and turns around to find her sister pouting.

"Boo?" Shouko has her fingers formed in an X, disapproving of her little sister's behavior.

"Onee-chan not you too?" Shouko firmly places her hands on her hips and nods.

"C'mon show us what we really want to see!?" Shouyo demands his sister-in-law.

"Yes, yes Ishida-san."

"That's Nishimiya-san now, remember that."

"Of course it is." Yuzuru stumbles upon the desired photo of Mitsuha and Taki sealing their marriage with a kiss.

"Ohh, what a nice picture! It's almost as cute as ours, huh Shouko?"

"Ib habby bor bem, Isjida-kun." Shouko pats her spiky-haired partner on the head and kisses him. Even though them kissed in front of her many times, Yuzuru still feels weird seeing them display their affection so casually. Especially when her sister still addresses her husband by his old name.

"You better hurry up with those photos, Yuzuru!" Shouko's hands sign with a serious tone.

"Relax, nee-chan. I promised Yotsuha that they'll be done in a week."

"You mean Mitsuha?" Shouyo firmly corrects her as he crosses his arms.

"Sorry, nii-san, but those two names are pretty similar you know. Kinda like you two."

"Kaa-san does like to call us both 'Sho-chan'..."

"Anyways, what are those two up to now? It's been two days since the wedding."

Shouyu turns to his wife to sign Yuzuru's question.

"Flying to America." Shouko signs as she stares out into the window smiling.


"Have you seen the wedding reception video yet, onee-chan?" Yotsuha shows her screen to Mitsuha.

"Oh dear, first Takagi now Yuzuru. My little sister is such a romantic."

"Shut up! I'm not the one who's headed to her honeymoon at this minute."

"We still have a long way to go before we land. Do you miss me already?"

"Nah, Otou-san and Obaa-chan are enough company to be honest." Yotsuha turns her laptop towards her father and grandmother who wave to Mitsuha.

"Get some sleep, Mitsuha."

"I will, Otou-san."

"Stay safe, dear."

"I will Obaa-chan. I have Taki-kun with me." Mitsuha winks at the three in confidence.

"Have a safe flight onee-chan! Don't wear him out too much once you're there!"

"Yotsuha! That's inappropriate talk for someone your age!"

"Otou-san not right now!"

"It seems like it's lively at home when I'm not around, huh?" Mitsuha responds as she talks to her family from her front face camera. "I can't wait to see the pictures that Yuzuru took of the wedding."

"You have to be patient onee-chan, art takes time to perfect."

"Oh really? Are you just saying that because you want YOUR photos turn out good?" Mitsuha smirks at her sister through her phone screen.

From the background you could hear Toshiki excitedly asking his youngest daughter a series of questions. "Yotsuha, you have a girlfriend? Who is she? When can I meet her?"

"It's nothing like that! You're the one who got to know Nishimiya in the first place."

"Well I never said to befriend her little sister either."

"Onee-chan if you weren't flying to New York right now I swear I would…" Yotsuha's threat was cut short when Hitoha pushes her to the side so she can see her granddaughter.

"Just ignore these two and get on with your trip."

"Alright Obaa-chan, I'll call you guys once we arrive."

Ending the call, Mitsuha stares at her window, although there's nothing much to see since it's nighttime. This is her first time flying, yet surprising she remains so calm despite being thousands of meters in the air. Perhaps it's the sight of the full moon keeping her company at night. Flying above the clouds, it appears crystal clear right next to her, illuminating her presence through her window.

"Luckily I have to speak English to some of my clients at work so asking for directions shouldn't be a problem."

With a beam of light shining from the window, a sparkle lit from Mitsuha's right ring finger, bright enough to catch her attention. She lifts her hand to take a close look at the ring. The words "Mr. & Mrs. Miyamizu" coil around the surface of the ring. Mitsuha looks at her tired husband, curled up on his side on his seat. Luckily, the seats fold out almost like a bed and come with complimentary blankets and pajamas. One of the many perks of flying first-class.

"Honestly, he could've told me this was his plan. Why does give himself so much trouble. But now that we're married, I guess I have a say on what he does now." She takes off the ring to admire the craftsmanship put into it. Mitsuha can see herself smiling from the reflection off her ring. However, upon further inspection, she noticed something inside the ring; something she hasn't seen yet.

"I swear if he added something stupid without me knowing this entire plane is turning back to Tokyo." Mitsuha promises as she furiously checks the ring with her nightlight.

"Another engraving?"

She tilts the ring to read the message inside. The penmanship mirrored Taki's handwriting, as if he wanted Mitsuha to know that this was a message coming straight from him. When she finished read the message, she lays back on her chair and puts on her ring so she can wipe the tears off her face.

"Making me cry like this twice? Very unforgivable, Taki-kun."

Perhaps Mitsuha said that last bit a little too loudly, because as soon as he heard his name Taki wakes up from his slumber to check on his wife.

"Mitsuha, what's wrong?" Taki asks as he rubs his eyes. "Whatever it was that I did, I'm sorry. Now please get some sle-"

Without saying a word MItsuha quickly kisses Taki, enough to jolt him out of drowsiness.

"What was that for!?"

Rather than answer his question, Mitsuha pets his head. "Nothing, I just wanted to show you how much I love you."

"You're being very weird right now."

"And you're speaking to loudly. Go back to bed, sweetie, it's late."

"Yes, Miyamizu-sama. I just need to use the restroom first." Taki gets up and makes his exit. While waiting to finish his business on the toilet, he smiles at his wife's revelation.

"So she finally looked inside the ring. I'm glad. It's not much, but I wanted to thank her some way." Taki touches the side on his pants and takes out his empty wallet. "I hope she can bear though. This vacation and the engraving cost me several weeks worth of visits to the cafe."

With her tears dried up Mitsuha takes a look at her ring again to admire her husband's message. In a soft voice she reads it out loud.

"I'm glad we found each other again."

She slips her ring back at the hand that Taki wrote on many years ago. "This time I won't forget. How can I?" She touches the plane window with her hand, contemplating on the events that transpired this past week.

What started off as a journey to find what they lost, ended with them finding each other again. What started off as a fateful meeting on a staircase, turned out to be a journey of discovery and recollection.

With one chapter of their lives closed, a new door awaits for them to open. While the future is far beyond to see, they at least have each other to walk this road together.


Author's Notes

Thank so much for reading my second fanfic. To be quite honest, when I first watched Kimi No Na Wa, I had zero expectations on how well it would be. I came out of that theater an emotional wreck. Like many of you, I would assume that the ending left you with much to be desired. I certainly did. Which is why I felt compelled to write fanfics for the very first time. Although I liked my first story, I really wanted to expand more on the movie's universe. A wedding fanfic seemed the most logical. However, this was very difficult to write. How can I write about a wedding if I myself have never been in a relationship? Anyways, this was a lot of fun to write, and I don't think I'll writing just yet. I have a couple of ideas on what my next story will be. Here are some of them

Working Title: Our Gift To You

Hitoha is lying on her deathbed, counting down the hours before she passes away. With her loved ones by her side, she makes one last request to Mitsuha and her new grandson Taki. She wishes to have her ashes buried inside the Miyamizu shrine. The two humbly honor Hitoha's wishes. At the same time, the two wonder if there is a way for them to tell their friends how exactly they met. Recalling the supernatural phenomenon that occur around the shrine, they invite their friends to join them on their task, hoping that whatever restored their memories would help them reveal the past to their friends. This would be continuation of where the first two stories left off.

Working Title: Moons and Comets

I know that putting a crossover piece late into this story is kinda weird, but I found that these two movies have a lot in common despite having such different premises. Not to mention these are the two best anime movies to come out in recent memory. So I wanted to write a origin story of how Mitsuha and Shouko met. The story itself would probably take place before Taki proposes to Mitsuha. At this point, Shouya and Shouko are newly married. Feeling bad that she was unable to attend the wedding, Mitsuha pays her old friend a visit. Little did the two know that Taki and Shouya had already met before. I'm thinking that around the time that Mitsuha decides to take a sign language course, she meets Shouko. Taki on the other hand is starting college, and runs into a lost Shouya, who is desperately trying to find Shouko to confess his love to her.

Working Title: I actually don't have one for this story lol

Samurai Jack left me with another bittersweet ending, and I really wanted to Jack and Ashi to be together. I already had an idea of a Samurai Jack x Avatar crossover, where Jack befriends Aang and meets Korra many years later, so I ran along with that idea. Basically, Ashi didn't die when she disappeared but returned to help original time. The ladybug in the ending gave me hope that Ashi is alive somewhere. Jack and Ashi cope with their grief by meditating underneath the same tree. However, one day they accidentally enter the spirit world where Jack finds a strange person named Wan, while Ashi finds a woman named Korra and her girlfriend Asami in the middle of their vacation.

Working Title: Is Musubi A Psychic Ability?

Another Kimi No Na Wa crossover story, but it's completely separate from the other stories i mentioned. This one is a Mob Psycho 100 crossover, that takes place after Mitsuha and Taki meet on the staircase. As they got to know each other more, their memories of the past do as well. However, they're curious to know how the body-switching even started. To make matters worse, the body-switching started happening again even though Mitsuha is alive. Trying to find answers, the couple stumbles upon a strange alley in Tokyo. With a flash of light, them find themselves in Salt City with a flyer advertising a place called Spirits and Such Consultation Office. With no other options the two decide to check the place out. In the story Shigeo has taken over for Reigen, and is a reputable psychic.

Working Title: Me and My Dark-Haired Sisters

I probably won't work on this one since I think it would look better if someone drew this, but this would be an alternate universe kinda thing. This story is based on the fact that a lot of my favorite female characters are dark-haired. Jack and Ashi are a couple, but with a large family. They have three older daughters: Satsuki, Mitsuha, and Asami; two younger daughters: Mikasa and Ryuko; and one son named Shigeo. This story revolves around Shigeo having to deal with growing up as a teenager while having to deal with his five sisters. This one is just some weird idea I came up with, don't take this seriously. Actually don't even read this one, just skim through it.

Let me know what story idea sounds the most interesting to you. Thank you again for taking the time to read this story. It was a lot of fun.
