Epilogue

"Mommy! Daddy! Look at the flowers I picked for mommy!" A little redheaded girl about seven years old came running through a flower field, holding a small bouquet of pink flowers in her hand. She ran up on the back porch of a huge house and she ran up to a man and a pregnant, redheaded woman on the porch.

"Here mommy!" The little girl said, handing the pregnant, redheaded woman the flowers.

"Oh Sakura, they are beautiful! Why don't you go on and put them in some water?" The little girl named Sakura ran into the house and the woman and man heard a phone ring. Sakura answered it and a few minutes later, she came out to the man and woman, holding the phone to her chest.

"Mommy, daddy, Aunt Mina and Uncle Kyo wanted to talk to you about the baby shower." The man took the phone and talked to the person on the other end.

"Hello? Oh, hey Kyo….Oh, and hello Mina. How are you guys?……We're good too…Oh yes, Ichigo and Sakura say 'hi'. What's that?……Oh, yea, the baby shower……It's on the 21st?……Okay……Oh, you found out that it's a boy? And you even have a name picked out?!…..What is it?…….….Oh, that's wonderful!…..Okay then, we'll see you guys on the 21st…..Bye." He hung up the phone and said to the redheaded woman and girl, "They finally planned the baby shower for a definitive date. It's on the 21st at their house. Also, they found out that it's a boy and they're going to name him Ichirou." The redhead woman smiled and said, "Oh, how lovely. I'm assuming that Mint and Haku, Pudding and Hitachi, Zakuro and Akio, Lettuce and Ryou, and Keiichiro are all invited?" The man nodded and the little girl jumped over and hugged him, looking at him with big eyes that were her mother's all over again.

"Daddy, I love all my aunts and uncles…we should see them more often!" They all smiled and the little girl looked at her father again as she said in a small tone, "Daddy, I also wanna ask a favor…Today when I was out in the front yard, I saw a little black kitten by the side of the road. I saw that a car had killed her mommy, and she was alone. I made a bed for her out in the field, but is it okay if we keep her? Please daddy?" The man thought a minute, chuckled and then said, "Yes Sakura, bring her home. I want you to go make her a bed and then go get her. We'll pick up food tomorrow afternoon. But I want you to take care of her, okay?" Sakura gave a huge grin and hug to her father before she ran into the house.

The man chuckled and the redhead woman asked in a sarcastic tone, "What is so funny?" The man looked at his wife and said, "Another koneko…I just think it's funny and ironic, that's all." He chuckled again and the woman went over and sat in his lap, hugging his neck as she spoke softly into his ear.

"Well, it may be just another koneko, but I am your koneko Kish, and I always will be." She brushed some of his green hair from his golden eyes and they smiled, looking lovingly into each other's eyes.

"Oh Ichigo, I will always love you." They kissed and Ichigo had a sudden lurch in her stomach. She pulled away from the kiss and she rubbed her stomach.

"Kish! Kish! I just felt the baby move! Feel, feel it quickly!" Kish laughed as he rubbed and kissed her stomach as they stood.

"I glad it's a boy and I'm glad we're naming it Ryuu." Kish said in a final tone. Ichigo hugged him softly and said, "I love it…It will suit him perfectly. With the way that he moves, he really is like a dragon inside me. The name will match perfectly."

He smiled and Ichigo and Kish kissed in the beautiful sunset.

In essence, it was a wonderful end to a choice one girl made…a choice of love over life…

…and it had turned out truly perfect.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO
