My Life as a Model in Training

Epilogue: Snapshots

Mikan: 2 year later

"Mikan Sakura."

I walked up the stairs slowly, making sure that I wouldn't trip myself on my gown and fall flat on my face in font of thousands of people. For some reason walking up those stairs was one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life. Those stairs were the beginning of my entire life, each step was like a bubble. Each time your foot hit the wood, the bubble would pop and in that bubble would be a memory waiting to be relived. Those memories were mostly of the past two years, the usual when I first arrived in the academy to the 'incident' to finally gaining my life back, the life of an actual teenage girl. As much as I would rather not think of the incident, sometimes it had a way of haunting me with its deathly whispers.

I always told myself it would never happen again and it probably wouldn't, I had some comfort in knowing that Sano Kobe was convicted of kidnapping, attempted rape, and three attempted murders, one for Natsume and two for me, starting from the first incident. The court battle hadn't been too long though, it was easy to see that the man needed to be put behind bars and luckily he wasn't put away in a hospital for not being able to go through the trial.

He was sentenced to one hundred and twenty-one years in prison with no bail or chance of parole.

That meant he wouldn't be getting out anytime soon, I doubted he'd be able to last that long. He made quite a problem at the academy after that and it took quite a few months for people to get over that, but sometimes I would still hear the whispering of people as they discussed what happened, but they knew everything would work out. And now it did.

Because it was Graduation Day.

There were thousands of people in the auditorium, ranging from parents to grandparents, entire families, and friends, as well as the school's staff and graduates. The cap and gowns were no way normal, in fact, it had been a graduation project for each senior to make their own cap and gown, as long as they followed the school's colors, red and black, anything would do. So, for my cap and gown I had gone for a more simple approach, the standard red gown that was given to girls, black was the standard backdrop for guys, I had lined it with black lace and black rosettes and then I had embroidered it with the names of my friends.

Anyway, when I reached the top of the stairs, I slowly walked to the middle of the stage, shaking the hands of a few teachers, vice-principal, and then stopped in front of Narumi. He took my both of my hands, "Congratulations, Mikan. May the rest of your life be perfect. I'm so proud of you." He whispered before handing me my diploma.

"Thank you, Narumi-Sensei. You're the best." I whispered back to him, my eyes brimming with tears as I pulled him into a quick hug. He returned it and pressed his lips to the top of my head. We stayed like that for no more than five seconds because there was still quite a number of students waiting for their diplomas. As I was walking, I wiped away a lone tear that had escaped when I walked down the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs, Hotaru was waiting. She had been waiting for Narumi-Sensei to finish passing out the diplomas so she could grace the stage with her presence as the graduating class' valedictorian.

"Congratulations, Baka." She told me and I could feel my tears threatening to escape.

"Hotaru!" I launched myself at her, but was only rewarded with a punch in the face. I fell flat on the ground, holding my injured nose, which was probably bleeding my then.

"What's wrong with you? I just wanted a hug!" I whispered harshly, not wanting to ruin the ceremony with our violence. Hotaru just looked down, her arms crossed over her chest, her amethyst eyes narrowing at me.

"Nothing, I just didn't want to get your snot all over me before I give the speech. Now get up, you look like an idiot." Her voice was calm, but I could still hear the small hint of her teasing. That put me at ease as I got up from the ground, dusting myself off before staring at her with large eyes for a moment. She rolled her eyes at me and held her arms out to me. I had to restrain myself from knocking her over as we embraced each other.

I don't know how long our embrace lasted before there was a tap on my shoulder, it as one of the teachers, telling us we needed to get a move on because it was time for Hotaru to give her speech. Wow, it must have been for a pretty long time, I'm surprised she lasted hugging me that long. I smiled at her, giving her hand a small squeeze, "Knock them dead, Hotaru." She smiled at me, returning the squeeze before turning on her heel to walk up the stairs.

I walked back to my seat, where we were sitting in alphabetical order by our last name, so there wasn't anyone I could hold on to as Hotaru gave her speech. As I looked toward the front, I saw the back of Natsume's head looking at the stage. Even from behind, his head still looked handsome. I smiled to myself, my adrenaline spiking as the time of our actual graduation inching closer and closer as Hotaru gave her calm, heartfelt speech.

"… Now, we sit here, waiting for the time we can finally throw our caps into the air, a celebration of finishing the very first chapter in our lives and starting on the next one. No matter where we go, we will always carry our lasting connection with each other with the help of Facebook, of course." That had made the whole auditorium laugh and I grinned at her, "We will now embark on our long journeys as we follow our dreams. And right now, as I stand before your crying faces, who are trying not to break down in front of the whole school, I have only one thing to say. Alice Academy's School of Modeling, Class of 2012, we did it!"

That had signaled the ending of the speech and finally the finishing of our ceremony. The entire auditorium erupted in enthusiastic cheers as we threw our caps in the air and painted the room with red and black. People threw their arms around each other and started doing everything from cheering, jumping up and down, and even crying.

Then all of a sudden, there was a harsh tug on my wrist, causing me to stumble into someone, our lips connecting. I was about to panic, when my shocked eyes landed on Natsume's face. I smiled into the kiss as his arms traveled to hold my waist as I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him down closer to me.

This was it. I would finally be able to live my life the way I wanted, which meant being with Natsume fully. We, also all of our friends, got accepted into the same University, so seeing each other would be no problem. Natsume's kiss was sweet and enticing and I felt my legs wobble as he tightened his hold on my body.

"Congratulations, Mikan Sakura." He whispered against me lips.

"Congratulations, Natsume Hyuuga." I returned the whisper, my lips hardly leaving his as I spoke.

This was it. We did it. We graduated as the Class of 2012. And now, we were going to start fully living.

Mikan: 7 years later

"That damned Hyuuga! How dare he make me walk in the rain! I swear when I get my hands on him, I'm going to kill him!"

I muttered to myself as my feet splashed in the heavy rain puddles. Even though I was covered with my favorite polka dotted umbrella and had multiple layers of coat protection, I was still getting soaked to the bone. I could almost feel the cold February chill seeping to my very core.

I rounded the corner of a building and finally planted myself in front of the place he told me to meet him. Alician Modeling Agency, the top modeling agency in the country. The large building, even with the drab rainy back drop, still looked spectacular, with its ancient looking architecture and white eggshell walls, dozens of arches and different trees and plants lined all around, the wind threatening to blow them over. As people may guess, the agency was a branch of the Alice Academy and was run by Narumi-Sensei's nephew, Shiki Masachika. Only the very top models, designers, agents, are accepted into the prestigious agency.

After graduating from the University, Natsume and I were quickly scouted out by the man who had been watching us since our arrival of the academy. As strange as it was, everyone I knew was accepted into the agency right after graduation, so we never really left each other's sides. I guess you could all call that extremely lucky.

I walked up the slippery cobblestone stairs and walked through the automatic glass doors. There wasn't anyone there. I raised an eyebrow at the empty lobby, it was a weekday, so people should have been working.

"Hello?" I called out, my voice shaking from the cold. There was no answer. I grimaced, a low groan rumbled at the bottom of my throat. Did I get the date wrong? Maybe it was vacation and I missed the notice, since I'm pretty prone to missing them. I mean, not everyone looks at the board in the lunch room.

I stalked off to the elevator, taking it up to one of the photo shooting rooms. The room was the usual room that I usually use for photo shoots for magazines and such, so I knew the place well. When I got off the elevator, there was still no one. Tentatively, I walked down the lonely hallway, the only sound I could hear was my heels hitting the spotless tile floor and my quiet breathing.

When I arrived at the door, I stared at the door knob for a moment, wondering whether or not I should open it. My heart started beating faster, my adrenaline spiking after every passing second. I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared. I was scared. I know that bastard should be rotting in jail right now, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about. But, something in the back of my mind told be just to be careful, it's not like I was getting updated on his whereabouts regularly. I just needed to prove to myself that he wasn't in there.

So, I placed my hand on the cold metal, turning it to let myself in. I stepped into the large gray room, closing the door behind me. The room was dark, except for a lighted candle sitting in the middle of the room, on a white clothed table. I walked toward it, getting a closer look at the deep red rose petals that scattered the table, a single card, my name printed neatly on it, was placed on a pile of petals.

I picked the card up and opened it. 'Look at your feet.' I blinked at the words. What? Before I could further question, something brushed against my leg. I jumped, hitting my hip on the table, "Ow! What the hell?" I looked at what it was. And then I heard it.

"Meow." It was Eri, my pretty ebony cat. "Eri? What are you doing here?" I asked her and she just meowed at me as she continued to circle my legs. I bent down to pick her up, running my hand over her soft fur coat. Then my hand came in contact with paper. I frowned, taking the rolled up paper from her collar, something falling down in the process. I leaned over to see what it was and let out a loud gasp, my heart stopping and my eyes widening at a size I didn't even think possible.

It was a ring. And not just any ring, an engagement ring.

I quickly bent down to pick it up. The ring was beautiful. The band was a glistening silver, encrusted with small diamonds. There were five medium sized diamonds in the middle, cut to look like petals, surrounding a large sparkling diamond. After turning around in my fingers a couple times, I remembered the paper it had been in. I unrolled the paper, 'Look up.'

My eyes instantly darted up and standing in front of me was none other than, Natsume Hyuuga. He was smirking down at me, the candle light playing with the contours of his brilliant face, his crimson eyes shining down on me like the gems they copied the color of. He dressed casually, a tight-fitting black V-neck showed off the many ridges of his body, was covered with an equally black blazer, his slacks the same color as well.

"Natsume…" I whispered quietly, still not regaining composure of the ring I was holding.

"Polka." Was all he said, his tone teasing and playful as usual. He sauntered over to me agonizingly slow and when he did, he pulled me to my feet. He took Eri from my hands, gave her, her favorite treat and placed her gently on the ground and she scurried off somewhere.

"Natsume! What-" I was about to launch into a full on speech about what was happening, when he pinched my cheek and glared, annoyed from my outburst.

"We're doing this my way, Little Girl. I know you have a big mouth, so you can shut up and let me talk." He clasped both of my hands together in his own, his large, warm palms heating up my ice cold ones. I instantly bit my tongue, not wanting to ruin the moment with my mouth.

"Polka Dots, you are the most annoying, childish, immature, loud-mouthed idiot I have ever met. You're stupid and you talk way too much and sometimes you make me want to lock you in a closet somewhere just to see if you'd shut up. Even I know that wouldn't work. You're problematic and are always getting in trouble and I have to come rescue you like some crappy fairytales you read far too often. You eat more than a farm of pigs and you never seem to stop being hungry. You're hungry all the time, the last time I was at your apartment, I found a potato chip bag in your bed, are you so hungry you have to sleep with food? Where the hell do you even keep it all? You also still where childish undergarments like you were shopping in a child's clothing store. Does bright polka dots, rainbows, and rabbits turn you on that much?"

Where the hell was this conversation going? He was insulting me the whole time! It really took all my will power not to kill him right there because I just had to see if his damned insults were getting us anywhere and he still continued.

"But, you're a bunch of other things too. You're kind, loveable, sociable, strong, and extremely beautiful. You're everything I'm not and I can admit that, but if you breathe a word to anyone about this I'll silence you myself. Before I met you, I thought that life was easy and I was getting a free ride because I looked good, so life was pretty boring. And then I met you and I found out life was amazing with you and only you. It's exciting and far from me wanting to get rid of you because you're the only one for me. I know you feel the same. I can see it as I look into your eyes right now. You make my life amazing and I want it to always stay like that. I want to claim you for myself and tell other assholes down the street that you're all fucking mine and they can't have you. Sometimes I thank God that you're in my life. I want you and only you, Polka."

That's when he finally got down on one knee, taking one of my hands into his. My throat closed up and I felt like I would break down right there, he better be finished with his long speech soon before I jump on him.

"You see this?" He asked, holding the ring up and I nodded.

"It was my mother's. She would have loved you just as much as I do if she could meet you. I know she would have wanted me to give it to you, to you who I want to take as my wife. I love you more than anything, including my own life and I'm pretty sure I showed you that already and I'll keep you safe no matter what." I gulped loudly as he slipped the cold sliver over the ring finger on my left hand.

"I love you, Mikan Sakura. So, will you marry me?"

At that point, the Earth stopped spinning. Everything stopped, except my beating heart. In fact the beating had only sped up with each passing second the question hung in the air. It took me awhile to force any sort of words out of my mouth, but when I did I had already jumped on him.

"Yes, Natsume!" I exclaimed as I wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my lips to his. The kiss was heated and passionate and heart pounding as ever. His proposal had been insulting, but he made it up at the end, so I'd let it slide for now.

"Happy Valentine's Day." He murmured against my lips and I smiled making our lips press more fervently together. There was that too, I completely forgot that today was Valentine's Day and it was by far the best one I have ever had. Which each caress of our lips, it was becoming more and more real.

I would be marrying Natsume Hyuuga.

Mikan: 1 year later

I saw him standing at the altar.

He was only looking at me as I walked down the red and white rose petals, that were sprinkled on the on the pristine porcelain aisle, my arm interlocked with my sniffling father. We had rehearsed it the day before and my father still managed to cover his crying face with a handkerchief even as he walked me down the aisle. Each step was agonizing slow as I made my way to the man of my life.

It was our wedding day.

My dress was, I had to say, was spectacularly the most beautiful dress I had ever worn in my life. It was a pure white, chiffon mermaid style dress. The top part of the dress was tight fitting, ruching traveling in different directions, the bodice was a sweetheart neck line that had thick straps that were made of different sizes of crystals connected to it, the bodice was embellished with the same crystals. As the tight fitting dress traveled downward, just above my knees, the chiffon had feathered in all directions, creating plenty of movement. The back had been flared out a bit more to create a mini train. To top it off, there was a matching pure white veil that had been painstakingly sewn through with small crystals in it.

And the best part of the dress, was not because it was exquisitely beautiful, but because the dress had been created by Aoi. My soon to be sister-in-law had given the dress to me as a present sometime after Natsume proposed, saying that she had already knew about the proposal for months and had made the dress herself. It was absolutely, but what are you supposed to expect from Aoi Hyuuga, one of the top wedding dress designers in Japan? She had outdone herself and the dress was a one of a kind. Amazing, just simply amazing.

At the end of the aisle, Natsume met us at the bottom of the steps as he bowed to my father politely. My father finally put his handkerchief away as he laid a hand on his shoulder and passed over my hand to him. Natsume took it gently and my father walked off, but not before embracing me first.

Natsume was looking wonderful in his simple black tux, it showed off his broad shoulders very nicely. He donned a deep red tie that had been bright against the simple crisp white button-down underneath the black jacket. His lips were upturned in his ever present smirk as he eyed me up and down. It was his way of smiling I had long ago dubbed, so I had smiled back at him as he led me up the stairs in front of the priest.

"We are gathered here today to witness the…" The older man had started into his long speech on how the two of us would be connected and such, but I paid no attention to the man. The only person I had been paying attention to was the man I was holding hands with, the man in front of my very eyes, the man that I would forever be in love with.

"Natsume Hyuuga, do you take Mikan Sakura as your lawfully wedded wife, for richer or for poor, to have and to hold for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." His voice was clear, low, and very certain. His eyes were burning such an intense certainty that I thought the dress I was wearing would catch fire.

"Now, Mikan Sakura, do you take Natsume Hyuuga as your lawfully wedded husband, for richer or for poor, to have and to hold for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do." I breathed out, the breath I had been holding dispersing into the air. I didn't want to cry, but it was getting really hard not to as Natsume took my hand and slipped the diamond encrusted wedding band on the same finger as my engagement ring and I did the same for him.

"These rings are a symbol of your love and binding to each other. And now by the power invested in me, I now proclaim you Mr. and Mrs. Natsume and Mikan Hyuuga. You may now kiss your bride."

Right as the priest announced those last words, Natsume's hands were on either side of my face, pulling my face toward his, our lips coming in contact with each other's. If I had thought that the time of his proposal was Earth stopping, than our wedding kiss, was universe and beyond stopping. At that moment, everyone else in the world disappeared and we were the only ones living the moment, even though everyone else in the audience was screaming and whistling. By the time we pulled away from each other's lips, we were breathless and were breathing hard as we pressed our foreheads together.

"I love you, Mikan Hyuuga." Natsume's voice was kind and sincere with the smallest hint of teasing that for some reason could never leave his voice box. I smiled at him as I stared into his bright crimson eyes and squeezed his hand.

"I love you too, Natsume Hyuuga." This was the beginning of a life that I had been waiting for and so far, in the less than five minutes I had been dubbed Mikan Hyuuga, it was like a wonderful dream.

/

Mikan: 9 months later

"Natsume, you fucking bastard! I'm going to kill you! Look what you did to me! Do you have no shame? God, go bury your head into a ditch somewhere and leave yourself there!"

I was practically screaming my lungs off at the man that held my hand as I pushed my insides out. Sweat dripped down from my forehead and the rest of my body as I completely soaked the bed sheets and gown. It was the most intense, intense pain I had every felt in my life. There was simply no words to describe the pain that was ripping my body out.

"My, aren't you the loving wife, Polka? At least you enjoyed making it." Natsume smirked at my side and instantly twisted his arm and I could practically feel the blood from my nails digging into his palm drip down.

"Shut up, you pervert! This is all your fault! Maybe if you didn't have any little tailed children in those balls of yours we wouldn't be in this mess! See what you did! Oh my God! Oh my God!" I pushed again, still not ridding my body of the origin of all this pain.

"Yeah, I remember you saying that too."

"Natsumeee!" I wasn't able to finish my statement when another wave of unbearable pain radiated throughout my body.

"Just one more! You're doing great, Mrs. Hyuuga!" The doctor called out from his spot between my legs.

"It's not going to be Hyuuga for long unless this thing comes out! Ahhh!" One last push and almost all the pain subsided when I head crying, and it wasn't my own.

My breathing was shallow and heavy as my head finally fell back onto the sweat-soaked pillow. "Good job, Mikan." Natsume whispered to be as he pressed his lips to my cheek, "I'll forgive you for that last sentence."

"I-I was kidding." I whispered, my voice shaky.

"Congratulations, it's a baby girl!" The doctor yelled, placing my new crying flesh and blood, which by the way was still covered in my flesh and blood, onto my chest. I looked down at the small bundle of joy that was now in front of me. Nine months of hell and this is what I was rewarded with. My baby whimpered softly as I stroked her slippery skin and placed a kiss on her little head. She grabbed onto thumb and I felt my eyes light up. Natsume kissed the top of my head before running his relatively large thumb over the baby's back.

"So, what's the name, new parents?" One of the nurses asked, bringing a blanket to further clean the baby.

We had waited on the baby's gender until now, but we had picked out two names. The girl name had been very important to us and now we could finally use it on our first child. We named our child after the person who gave life to Natsume and Aoi.

"Kaoru. Her name his Kaoru Momoko Hyuuga."

Our family was now complete. Even through all the pain I endured, having my baby was the best thing ever. I wouldn't change a single thing. Except probably asking for an epidural. Never again will I ever pass up on one. Ever.

But, in the end it was all worth it. I got the two loves of my life by my side.

/

Mikan: 5 years later

"Mommy! Aunt Hotaru and Uncle Ruka are finally here!"

The sound of my five year old daughter, Kaoru yelled up to me from the bottom of the stairs.

"Comin-! Kenta! Stop pulling on Reiko's hair! Natsume, grab your son! I don't think your sister will be too happy when she finds out her daughter doesn't have any more hair!" I yelled over the side of the stairs when I eyed one of my son's pulling on Aoi and Youichi's child's hair. I all but fell down the stairs to Hotaru and Ruka.

When I saw the couple standing at the door, their one year old son, Toshio, in Ruka's arms my eyes exploded out of their sockets. My arms opened wide as I attempted to swoop in and wrap my arms around Hotaru, she moved aside, causing me to face plant the door behind her. I yelped and sank to the floor, holding my face in my hands.

"Hotaru! How could you? That really hurt!" I yelled angrily at her, but she just rolled her eyes at me.

"Even after all these years, you'll never learn." She muttered. Kaoru latched her little hand onto Hotaru's shirt, "Aunt Hotaru, why does that always happen to my mommy every time you come over?"

"Because your mommy is the biggest idiot in the world. Come on, Kaoru let's go set these presents down." Hotaru said to my daughter as she took her hand and Kaoru led her to the table that was covered in colorfully wrapped boxes.

"Are you okay, Mikan?" Ruka asked kindly, his azure eyes lined with worry as he helped me up from the ground, his son still in his arms. I got up and dusted off my skirt before smiling at him, "Thanks Ruka, you're so much nicer than that big meanie over there!" I practically yelled that last part so she would hear me, but she ignored me.

"Oh, I don't know about tha-"

"Ruka! Hotaru! You guys are here! We've been waiting!" Two voices sounded loudly as they corner, it was Anna followed by Nonoko. Anna and Nonoko had come earlier to help cook with their husbands, Yuu with Anna and Koko with Nonoko. The two of them also brought with them their children, after all it was a birthday party. Two little girls, Amaya and Asami for Anna and Yuu, while Nonoko and Koko had two little boys, Masato and Minoru. There had been a double wedding on that day with those two twins, my was that a sight to see or what?

"Hey, Anna, Nonoko." Hotaru greeted the two sisters as she gave them both hugs. I gaped at her, pointing an accusing finger.

"Why do they get hugs?"

Hotaru turned to me and glared, "Because like I said, you're an idiot."

"You're so mean!" I retorted, dashing to the kitchen to huddle in the corner somewhere, but instead bumped into something hard. "Ow! Why do I keep getting hurt today?" I looked up and saw another man, well him plus two other men coming into the living room. "Oh, sorry Youichi! I wasn't paying attention!" I apologized to my brother-in-law, I think. He was married to Aoi, and she is my sister-in-law, so I guess that means he's my brother-in-law. Those two had one child so far, which was Reiko who was four, the same age as Amaya and Masato. "Hey Koko and Yuu!" I greeted the two other men behind him.

"Mikan! You may want to start wearing helmets from now on!" Koko snickered as Yuu gaped at him.

"Koko! That isn't nice! I'm sorry he's so mean, Mikan!" Yuu bowed as he apologized from Koko and instantly put my hands up, "No, no! Yuu it isn't your fault! He's always like that!"

"Why is this place so loud?" Aoi's voice now came into the room and we turned to see her walking in with Nobara, holding her for support while Nobara's husband Kitsune helped. Nobara was officially eight months pregnant with their first child, so she'd be popping out a kid pretty soon and join the children club.

"It's loud because Polka's in here with seven other kids. And you're asking why it's loud?"

My eyes narrowed as I looked at the stairs, my hands already on my hips ready to shout at the man. My husband was at the top of the stairs, in his arms cradled our twins, Kenta and Jun. Kenta stuck his tongue at all of us while Jun had his faced buried in his father's shirt. Kenta and Jun were polar opposites of each other even though they were twins, Kenta with his loud-mouthed personality and chestnut hair and ruby eyes, versus his younger twin who was shy and quiet with his ebony hair and chocolate eyes. Today they were turning a year older because it was their fourth birthday.

"Natsume! You're as bad as Hotaru!"

"Well, I don't get paid to be as nice as Ruka do I?" He said smugly, walking down the stairs to pass over Jun to me. Jun looked up at me with his large eyes and was quick to hold on to me. I kissed his head before looking up at Natsume. His fiery eyes looked down at me, through the years with three kids, they had no choice but to lose a little hardness, though they were nowhere near being soft. His lips curved upward and wrapped his free arm around my shoulder.

I was about to smile when I felt a tug on my skirt, it was Kaoru, who also wanted to be carried. Kaoru was pretty much like Kenta, but sometimes she was a lot harsher, just like her father, in fact her hair was as dark as his, but her eyes were still as bright as mine. I picked my big girl up and when that happened Natsume gave her kiss on top of her head, causing her to go into a fit of giggles. I laughed along with her while Natsume pulled all of his into his arms.

Nothing was better than being with your three beautiful children and handsome husband. At this point, my life was perfect. I had everything, the perfect house, perfect career as a teacher at the Alice Academy, the perfect group of friends, and now the perfect family with the perfect children and perfect husband. It may be repetitive, but it was true, nothing could get any more perfect than this.

Then I felt something brush against my leg, which was our cat, Mamoru. Eri had passed away from old age two years ago and I was heartbroken, but she had left us her son and a litter of kittens that we had passed to everyone in the living room, but we kept her last kitten for ourselves and he was just like his mother, a pretty cat who was a spectacular part of that family, who really loved small fish shaped treats.

Now, with the son of the kitten that had helped bring my life together was here. Now it was perfect. I looked at Natsume and he gave me a small smile, which coming from him was a lot, he laid his forehead on mine before planting a small kiss on my lips. Small only because there were plenty of kids and parents in the room, but even so, I could feel his love radiating off of it.

Before he pulled fully away, there was one thing I had to tell him and I did.

"Thank you."

Done! It's finally done! I hope you guys enjoyed it! The official end of My Life as a Model in Training has finally ended! I'm sorry if it was too cheesy, but it's an epilogue they can be! And I am also sorry for my grammar! I'm sorry you guys had to deal with it the entire time! I hope this epilogue was too everyone's liking, so I hope that you guys will tell me about it and leave you're final thoughts of the story! I would love hear everyone's final comments on this long story! Please and Thank You! And also, thank you guys so much for reviewing the last chapter! It really meant a lot! So thank you! Thank you to everyone who ever read, liked, reviewed or alerted the story, this epilogue is like a token of my appreciation, but I don't know if it's enough, but I hope you guys enjoyed it! Thank you so much everyone! I'll see you guys around, I love you all!

Answering Question Time! (You guys had final questions on the ending, so here are the answers!)

fox-white-moon: I hope the epilogue answered your question about the bastard Sano! Basically, he was convicted and rotted in a cold old prison cell until he died at the age of seventy-eight! That wasn't mentioned, but it's probably what would have happened!

alexis24842: Sano didn't die because I think he would get off his horrible doings to easy, so letting him die a slow miserable lonely death is more fun! Hahaha, I'm sorry if that sounded creepy! And well I think the epilogue answered your other questions, well at least I hope it did! And also the other story is, "I Need a Girl," and that one is up, Natsume is pretty OCC. Well Natsume is a player at the academy, but one day meets Mikan, who doesn't like his selfish way of playing with the hearts of girls. They make a bet to see if she'll fall for him, so he does everything he can think of to get her to be his girl!

azn teddy: Yeah, it's over! I hope that you enjoyed the epilogue! Thank you so much again for letting me use the idea about Mikan losing her memory!

Pillow Puffs: Well, Natsume took care of Eri was she was in a coma! He's not really into that sort of thing, but it was the love of his life's cat, he had no choice! Hahaha!

animelover8801: Well, Eri lived her long cat life out, she was very helpful, see how she helped with Natsume's proposal? Haha! Years later she had a litter of kittens with an unknown father, and passed away a few years after Kaoru was born! She had a happy life and now, so will her son, Mamoru!
