Chapter 137

The Reunion

"Are we ready to go?" Kyo asked his wife Tohru who was buckling his child into the back of their small car.

"Almost." Tohru said as she closed the back door and got into the passenger's seat. She put on her seatbelt and looked out the window happily, as Kyo drove.

"It has been a while since we've seen them." Kyo said. Tohru smiled and said,

"Yes. I miss everyone and couldn't wait for this day to come. I wonder how everyone has been doing." Tohru replied looking back at the baby to make sure she was okay.

"We've gotten letters saying they were fine, so I think they are."

"I certainly hope so. This is the first time Kaoru will be seeing them won't it?" She said smiling at the baby in the back. The baby said something and looked out the window. After an hour or so, they reached the Souma house.

Tohru, holding Kaoru and Kyo entered the Souma place. Kyo leaded the way to the place that the reunion was going to be at.

When they knocked the door, Akito answered and greeted them. She was wearing a beautiful kimono and her hair had grown to shoulder length.

"Hello Tohru-san, Kyo-san. Is this the Kaoru-chan you wrote of?" Akito asked while looking at Kaoru who grabbed her finger. Shigure came form behind Akito.

"Long time no see, Tohru-kun, Kyo." He saw Kaoru "Oh how are you little baby?" Shigure tickled her and she laughed.

Akito moved out of the way, pulling Shigure with her,

"Please come in." Tohru and Kyo took of their shoes and entered. They looked around to find that no one was here yet. Tohru, Kyo, Akito, and Shigure talked about what they had been up to. Shigure and Akito were engaged but not married yet. They were planning to marry next spring.

"Ding-dong" The doorbell rang. Akito got it and came back with Yuki, Machi, Kakeru, and Komaki. Yuki came in with Machi who was apparently pregnant. Kakeru and Komaki followed. Komaki was holding a small baby boy.

"Oh, Tohru!" Yuki shook hands with Tohru and Kyo. He looked at Kaoru and patted her on her head.

"Tohru, Kyo, this is my wife Machi." He said beckoning for Machi to come forward. She came forward and said

"Hello." Yuki looked at her. He laughed and she looked at him red.

"What? What did I say!?" Machi was looking at Yuki. Kakeru was also laughing. Komaki giggled.

"Oh yeah, this is my brother-in-law, Kakeru, and his wife Komaki. Their baby's name is Makoto." Yuki said smiling from laughing at Machi.

Everyone came, slowly but surely. For the reunion, because even if the curse had been lifted, they still loved each other.

Tohru was filled with happiness to see everyone. She talked to everyone, and Kaoru seemed happy as well.

Hatsuharu and Rin were married, Kisa and Hiro were engaged, and Ayame was married to Mine with two kids. Hatori was engaged to Mayuko, Momiji had found a girlfriend who was a shy girl, but extremely nice. Kureno brought Arisa along with him and Arisa was happy to see Tohru and teased Kyo slightly. Kureno had not married Arisa yet, but they were planning on it. Kagura had a boyfriend, but he couldn't come due to work, Ritsu and Mit-chan were both married, and Ritsu was not wearing a furisode! Kazuma-san was with Hana-chan. They were not married or engaged to Kyo's relief. But Hana-chan said she was detecting good waves.

The party went on, everyone was smiling, laughing. They had gone through so much trouble, but they had gotten through it all. Despite the fact that they hurt each other, they choose to come together and smile, laugh. It is a happy feeling that is almost indescribable. Thank you, thank you for joining us; it would not have been the same without you.

The party ended. The maids were cleaning everything up while everyone said good-bye. Tohru was crying, "Good-bye, and Thank you, thank you." Everyone else thanked her as well and they left. Hand-in-hand,

"I already miss them Kyo."
