Chapter 33: Epilogue: Part II

"What colour do you think you should wear? " Mikan asked.

Twin pairs of crimson orbs looked at her innocently with a hint of irritation.

Natsume looked at his wife in amusement as she raised the colours of different tapestries in their sons' faces.

"You know, love, if you don't stop doing that, they might throw a tantrum. " He teased. "Look at them, they are irritated because you kept asking them the same question. " He added as he looked in the crib.

Mikan rolled her eyes. "Oh, gone with you! I'm just asking their preference. "

"I don't think they give a shit on what you wanted them to wear. "

Mikan slapped her husband's arm. "I told you, not a single bad word when it comes to the boys! " She scolded him.

He rolled his eyes. "As if they can understand it. " He said as he looked at his sons. They looked a lot like him, well, a carbon copy of him, to be precise, albeit with the auburn hair and eyebrows.

"Oh, shoot! I need to breastfeed them! " Mikan exclaimed frantically as she opened her blouse, revealed her breasts, then took her babies in her arms and watched them suck her nipple.

His eyes quickly darted at his wife's chest, it was so smooth and so soft that he can't help but to want to touch and suck it after she finished breastfeeding their sons.

Unfortunately, Mikan saw this and glared at him. "Stop staring at my chest, you pervert. "

"So what? I saw it and devoured it a lot of times already. " He replied playfully.

She rolled her eyes at this. "Keep your perverted thoughts to yourself, Natsume, I don't want my sons to grow as perverted as you. "

He snorted and then licked his lips. "Mikan, I want a baby girl next time. " He demanded childishly.

She glared daggers at him. "Bear a daughter by yourself, pervert, I'm not giving birth again anytime this year, my episiotomy hasn't healed yet. So I'm not going to allow you to impregnate me."

"Just saying, and by the way, sure, I'm not going to impregnate you, but I'm going to make love with you. " He said seductively.

She blushed at his words. "Whatever! Now get out and prepare yourself, Natsume, we have to present the babies to the priestess for blessing in the Next Generation Baby Ceremony. "

"I won't take a shower without you. " He said stubbornly.

She sighed. Her husband is such a horny one.

A horny, gorgeous, smart and loving man.

"To all the Gods and Goddesses of this land, bless this children, for they are our future hope, not just in our family, but in all the generations that will come and fill our bloodline. "

The priestess took a branch with thick leaves sprouting in them and dipped them in a bowl of clear water.

"Please hand your children as I call your family names. "The Priestess announced as she put the branch aside, then lighted an incense in front of an ancient mirror. She then closed her eyes, uttered some prayers, then opened her eyes again.

"Hyuuga family, please bring your children in front. " She commanded.

Mikan and Natsume brought their twins to the Priestess, both of them wearing a sea green traditional long kimono. The Priestess then took her leaf filled branch and looked at them.

"Their names? " She asked.

"Raiden and Raijin Hyuuga. " Mikan answered.

The Priestess nodded, then dipped her branch on the water, then sprinkled on the babies' foreheads, as Natsume and Mikan bent their legs a bit and bowed their heads.

"Bless this children, and protect them from evil, Kami sama, grant them strength, wisdom, and confidence, and bravery that they can use in facing different enemies. Guide them to the right way, and shower them with endless gifts. With this, make them as part of your family, and as part of this world. "

She then lighted two incense, closed her eyes, and placed herself near the mirror.

After a few minutes, she opened her eyes and smiled at them.

"Congratulations, Kami sama had given them a good fortune. They will live a long life, it will be a challenging journey, but it will bring out the best in their personality. "

Mikan smiled. "Thank you. " She said as she and Natsume stood up.

Others followed after them. Hotaru and Ruka gave handed their baby girl, Rukaru to the priestess who gave them a good blessing and fortune as well, it was then followed by Anna and Koko's son, then Nonoko and Yuu's daughter, then Rui and Cecile's twin girls, and then lastly, Hayate and Christina's son.

All of them got a good blessing and good fortunes, with this in hand, the whole friends decided to celebrate and give thanks to Kami sama in their own private homes, they can held a party, but giving thanks is a sacred one, and they prefer to celebrate it privately than publicly.

So after a couple of chats, the friends decided to go home, and went their separate ways for the time being.

Only time could tell about what will happen to them.

8 years later...

Mikan was looking at her garden happily, she can't believe the things that's been happening to her all this years, she can't believe that giving her life another try will be this interesting and worthwhile.

She had grown into a complete and mature woman through all these years, at the same time, she learned how to be a dutiful wife and a dedicated mother to her family.

She then plucked a red rose and looked at it. She can't believe that she wanted to plant one again after all the time that she swore that she would never plant roses after that incident in the past, but her daughter, for some reason, insisted she wanted to plant roses, so they did, and after a few months, it started to bloom beautifully despite of the different changes in weather.

She smelled the roses, and it smelled wonderful.

"Mommy! "

Mikan stopped smelling the rose and smiled at her daughter.

She bounced towards her and embraced her.

"Mommy, you know what? I learned a new fighting skill today and I used it against Raiden nii and Raijin nii! " She said proudly.

Mikan tucked a strand of her auburn hair behind her ear and looked at her crimson eyes. "Really, what kind? "

"Nah, just a lousy one, mom, you don't have to know Rika's new technique. " Raiden shrugged as he sat down on an elegantly designed chair.

"It's not lousy, it's effective! " Rina exclaimed as she looked back at Mikan. "I tell you what it is mom, it's called- "

"It's called puppy dog eye technique. "Raijin finished as he sat on the chair with his brother and drank some tea.

"Hey, it's not lousy at all! And it's effective, especially since I made the two of you obey my request. " Rika said smugly.

The twin boys grumbled. "Whatever! "

Mikan laughed at this. "Well then, I guess you're all hungry, let me get you some- "

She stopped walking when she felt a pair of lips crashing on her.

Automatically, she kissed back.

"I'm home, babe. "Natsume said seductively as he gave her a chaste kiss on the lips again.

"Welcome home, Natsume. " She greeted in return and smiled at him.

"Eww. " Raiden and Raijin grumbled while Rika giggled.

"Mommy and daddy are so sweet! " She exclaimed.

"Why, thank you, I'm glad my little Princess understands it. " Natsume said to his daughter and kissed her little forehead. "So what is this new technique that I've been hearing? " He inquired.

"The puppy dog eyes technique, daddy! Here, let me show you. " Rika said as she looked at her dad with her sparkling puppy dog eyes.

"Can you buy me doll next week daddy? Please, please, please with sugar on top? " She asked cutely.

Natsume gulped, his daughter looked so cute that he cannot refuse her request. Damn it, when did she learn that?

Raiden and Raijin snorted while Mikan laughed.

"Daddy? " Rika asked.

Not being able to resist her cute face, he nodded.

Rika cheered in joy and skipped around the center of the floor. "I told you, it works! See, even daddy cannot say no! " She boasted as she ran away towards the garden.

"You should learn how to resist her, you know, or else, you're going to spoil her. " Mikan said to her husband.

"I can't help it, she looked so cute. " Natsume replied and sighed.

Raiden and Raijin just rolled their eyes. "We're going to continue our training. "They both said and walked away from their parents.

"Damn, to whom did she learn that? From Koko? " Natsume asked as he loosened his tie and sat on a chair.

Mikan smiled as she took her husband's coat, toss it aside and began massaging his shoulders. "Nope, she got that from me. "

Natsume raised his eyebrows at her. "Really? I haven't seen you using that technique before. "

She deepened the pressure on his muscles carefully. "Well, I'm not doing that because I'm a woman now, it's good to use if I'm a little girl, but I'm not, you should've seen me using that technique to my brother's, it was so effective! "

Natsume smiled at this, these past years, Mikan had been so carefree and she was smiling a lot, after the day she gave him a chance, she started smiling, and hell, he started to love her smiling face, it was so warm and it has the ability to shed any light to the darkest of hearts. No wonder they call her Little Miss Sunshine . To be honest, he preferred it much much more that her Doll Face, which he was glad that she didn't show anymore during their relationship as husband and wife.

She was such a very sweet, loving wife, though she can still be scary at times, he still feel that the Gods were smiling at him the moment he took her to the Gods and marry her in front of the altar.

He stared at her, she didn't change much in the physical appearance, he didn't know if it's just his eyes, but to him, it seemed that Mikan didn't age at all. She still looked like the fresh, beautiful and curvaceous Mikan that he had met 8 years ago.

"What are you thinking? " She asked.

Natsume closed his eyes. "I'm just wondering, it looked like you haven't age at all, you still look the same to me. "

She chuckled. "Why thank you for the flattery, dear. "

"I'm serious. "

She chuckled harder. "Well, I need to maintain being beautiful if I have to keep you for myself, didn't I? If I let myself get fat and sloppy, then you're going to jump to other women and- "

She stopped when she felt his lips crashing on her again. She kissed back at him, repaying the passion that he just gave her.

After a minute of liplocking, Natsume released his wife.

"I told you I'm not going to cheat on you ever again. " He reminded her in a strict manner, anger was evident in his crimson eyes.

"That's not what I'm implying, but I'm just stating the truth, I mean, that's how men are, right? They want a fresh, young woman and- "

He cut her off again by kissing her lips.

"I don't want you talking about how low I could be. As I said, you're going to be my wife for eternity, didn't I made that clear to you 8 years ago? "

Mikan smiled in understanding. "I understand. "

"Good, now where we're we? "Natsume asked seductively as he hooked his arms under her knees and hoisted her to clamp her legs on his hips.

"Natsume, it's broad daylight! And the kids might see us! " Mikan scolded her husband, though in reality, she wanted to have sex too.

"Nah, I don't think they'll care, they'll be in Sujo san's hands for the rest of the day. " He shrugged as he flipped the ends of her blue summer dress and caressed her smooth legs.

Mikan snickered. "You're so naughty and horny too, are you sure you're tired? "

"Yes, and I need someone to energize me, and you know I am one. " He retorted and kissed her again.

They stayed like that for awhile, in a tight liplock, releasing each other for air, then kissing again.

They kept doing it until Natsume walked inside the mansion and into their bedroom.

And thus their lovemaking commenced again.

Mikan sighed as she clutched the flannel sheets to cover her chest.

"What's wrong, love? " Natsume asked as he showered Mikan's smooth, bare back with kisses.

"I'm worried about the kids. "

"What about them? "

She sighed again. "Anytime soon, they'll be going to Alice Academy. "

Natsume stopped kissing her.

Mikan then shifted her position and faced him. "I've been in that school, Natsume. " She said as she bit her lip. "And it's not exactly the kind of school that you wanted to enrol your kids, it's a dangerous training ground. And I- I- I don't want them to suffer the same fate that we suffered in there, it's too traumatic. "

"I thought that Uncle Kazu and the others we're implementing new rules in that school? Like visitations once a year and the like? "

"I know, but still, there are people in the academy who are as twisted as Kuonji, it's not like we can eradicate them, they are needed in the pursuit of perfection in a mafia's point of view, it's just that, they are too emotionless to give a damn about the student's feelings, they didn't care about their opinions or emotions. Believe me, all they wanted was to mold each and every student into a perfect one, and they won't stop at nothing just to implement that idealism. "

Natsume looked at his wife, he learned all about that school from her, and just hearing that school gives him goosebumps and was making him flinch. He felt like it was a traumatic environment to live in. Fact is, he didn't want his children to study in there either, but traditions are traditions and rules are rules, and Alice Academy was one of them.

But, like any other father, he had confidence in his children, he knows that they are strong and he knows that they will be able to handle things on their own. As a father, he believes that.

Mikan exhaled again. "I'm scared for their sake, what if they come back here and not in their right mind? What if they come back here and be as emotionless as a doll? What if- "

Natsume stopped his wife's rantings by putting two fingers on her soft lips.

"Shh…it's okay, Mikan. " He assured her. "Raiden, Raijin, and Rika are strong, and I know they will survive, that's why we're training them to be one at this point, early in time, isn't it? "

"But it's different in there! They are much stricter, meaner, and never knows how to give or take chances! " Mikan protested.

Natsume exhaled. "As much as we wanted them to stay and be guided by us, Mikan, we can't, and you know it. We can't stop them from going, and we have no choice but to set them free, let them spread their own wings and let them learn how to be independent and solve their own problems. "

Mikan bit her lip. "But… "

"Don't you believe that they could survive in there, just like how you survived it, Mikan? "

"You sound so confident, Natsume. " Mikan snorted.

"I am, because I know they could. " He said seriously. "They possess our hearts, Mikan, our strength, our abilities, our knowledge, and our own skills, with that combined and is running in their system, don't you think they can survive in there? "

Mikan sniffed. "Well, I guess so, besides, they're not the only ones going in there, the other's kids are going to attend there as well, I just hope that they could get close and treat each other as a family. Because that's how we did it before, well, up until now, we are still a family. "

"See, now there's your answer. It's okay, Mikan, I know they could do it. So give them the benefit of the doubt and trust them, okay? "

Mikan smiled unsurely at him. "Well, that's all I could do, isn't it? "

Natsume smiled in return. "Yes, that's all we could do. "

Mikan halfsmiled and snuggled closer to her husband. "And don't forget the love and support. "

"Yeah, and that too. "

"Glad you can come to the party. " Hotaru said as she drank her apple juice while carrying her daughter.

Mikan smiled and kissed Rukaru's little forehead. "You know I would. Hi Rukaru. "

"Hi, Aunt Mikan. " She said shyly, her lavender orbs blinking cutely at her.

Mikan then roamed her eyes at Hotaru's bulging tummy.

"It's a boy. " Hotaru said as she put down her daughter and caressed her tummy. " I hope this one will look like me. "

Mikan laughed. "We can only hope. "

"Anyway, where are the males? " Hotaru asked.

"I think I have a pretty good idea. "Anna answered as she pointed a finger on the stage.

"Well, I guess they're going to ask us for a dance. " Misaki said and laughed.

Guessing right, as always, the males started to smile and go to their wives and take their hand.

"May I have this dance? " They said altogether to their wives.

The little girls giggled while the boys snorted in disgust.

Mikan then gave her hand to Natsume, and Hotaru to Ruka, Nonoko to Yuu, Anna to Koko, Misaki then gave her hand to Tsubasa, Christina to Hayate, Cecile to Rui, Aoi to Yoichi, and Rei to Nobara.

All of them then went to the centre of the now newly built Soiree halls and danced.

"God, I missed this place! " Koko exclaimed as he twirled Anna.

"And I missed this event too, 8 years ago! "Hayate added as he snaked his arm on Christina's waist and smiled at her. "The very first time that I saw my future wife. "

"Oh, shut up and dance, Hayate. " Rui scolded.

"Oi, Nogi, let's stop dancing and sit down, I'm hungry and my legs are hurting me. " Hotaru commanded and pulled him out of the dance.

"Yes, ma'am! " Ruka agreed and followed Hotaru to the tables.

"Poor Ruka. " Tsubasa murmured.

"I don't think he feels sorry, it's his fault for impregnating Hotaru chan. " Rei smirked as he danced with Nobara.

"Well, at least there's more space. " Yoichi grunted while Aoi giggled. They are doing samba instead of the formal dance.

Mikan then looked at Natsume playfully.

"Do you want to dance with me? " She hinted.

Natsume smirked as he got the message. "Of course, dear wife. "

Mikan then raised the left tip of her skirt and looked at the one playing the music.

"Tango please. " She commanded and then when the tango music was played, she started to tap her heels in a fast and graceful manner, together with this, she also swayed her hips in a blinking manner as well.

Natsume looked at his wife in amusement, then he stretched his arms, and took her hand, in a swift manner, he pulled her to him, then planted his palm on her bare back, and then his free hand slid on her right leg and hoisted it to reach across his hips, not breaking their eye contact.

"Whoo, I can feel the chemistry! " Ruka hooted.

Smirking, Natsume then released his wife's legs and twirled her, then put his palm on her back again and pushed her upper torso outward, supporting her spine in the process. The straightened her back and make her look at him.

"You're so extreme, Senor. " Mikan teased.

"Likewise, Senora. " He teased her back. Then keeping his grip on her arm intact, he twirled her and then twirled her away from him in a graceful manner, then twirled her back to him and held her hand, this time, and together, they walked in tiptoes in an alternate fashion.

Natsume smirked, then his eyes darted towards the exit.

Mikan snickered in return. Keeping the same movement, they both walked out of the dancefloor.

"Those two always love to break the rules. " Nonoko chirped in.

"Well, I think that's what makes them a couple. And what keeps their chemistry up to this point. "Aoi added.

"Whatever, so, who's up for modern dance? " Yoichi asked blankly.

Everyone raised their hands.

Yoichi smirked and looked at the orchestra. "Then, play Lady Gaga's Judas! "

The orchestra nodded and played the music.

And the couples danced in the tune.

Mikan and Natsume released each other, yet kept their hands intact the moment they went out of the dancefloor.

When they reached the garden, they looked at each other and laughed.

"Nice exit! " Natsume said while laughing.

"You're the one who hinted it! " Mikan retorted.

"And you agreed! "

And they both laughed again.

They stopped laughing when they saw the moonbeams darting out from the sky.

Mikan smiled. "Hey, do you remember? This is the day we're we first met. "

Natsume raised his brow in amusement. "If I'm correct dear, that's the day when you and Imai kidnapped me and Ruka. " He corrected.

She halfsmiled. "Nevertheless, it's the same. " She said as she interlaced their fingers together and urged him to get closer. "I remember it was full moon, and I remember you ranting that you didn't want to accept my generosity. "

"Hey, if you're a victim of someone like Hades, you'll feel the same way too. " He retaliated.

Mikan then smiled and looked at his eyes, then without warning, she passed her hands to his silky, soft, raven hair, down to his forehead, and high cheekbones.

Natsume wanted to feel his wife's touch, as he was closing his eyes, his wife stopped him.

"No, don't, I want to see your eyes, Natsume. " Mikan said softly. So he opened them and kept it on her face.

They stayed like that for awhile, looking at each other's eyes, then Mikan spoke.

"Back then, I hated red, you know. "

Natsume rolled his eyes. "Yeah, it's because it reminds you of blood, crime, deceit- "

"That was before. " Mikan said, cutting him off. "But you know what? After I fell in love with you, I started to love the colour, you know what it symbolizes for me now? "

"Okay, tell me. "

Mikan then closed her eyes. "For me, red means true passionate love, desire, and everlasting devotion."

She felt Natsume's forehead lean on hers. "Yes, you got it right, Mikan, my love. "

"I love you, Natsume. "

"I love you too, Mikan, now and for eternity. "

They were about to kiss when they heard noises from the bushes.

"Hey, I told you to keep quiet! "

"I can't help it! Mommy and daddy are about to kiss! "

"Oh, shut up, you two! You're making yourselves obvious! "

Mikan and Natsume smiled, then slowly, they walked towards the bushes and parted it.

The trio widened their eyes when they saw their parents looking at them.

"We're busted. "Raijin announced blankly. "And it's all your fault, Rika. "

"Well I didn't mean it! "

"And who was it that giggled a lot? " Raiden taunted.

"Why, you two- "

"Okay, what are you doing here? " Mikan asked her children.

"Well, you suddenly disappeared in the dancefloor, we got worried and then we decided to find you. " Raiden answered as he glared at his parents.

"Then suddenly, we just found you in here looking at each other's eyes like lovesick teenagers, eww! " Raijin shuddered and looked at them quizzically. "How did you approach us without us sensing you're coming? Like Aunt Hotaru and Uncle Ruka? "

Mikan smiled as she ruffled her son's hair. "It takes practice, my son. "

"Just do what your trainer instructs you to do. "Natsume added and glared at them. "Now, all of you, forget what you saw and go back to the party and play with the other kids. " He commanded.

All of them mumbled something but headed their father's command. Stomping their way out of the garden.

Mikan then quirked her lip to her husband. "That's really strict of you to throw them out like that. "

"It's their fault, we we're about to go the most exciting part. " He said as she snaked his arm on her waist and pulled her closer. "And this is the symbol of red roses for me, Mikan. " He said and kissed her fully on the lips.

He kissed her deeply and passionately, full of love and devotion and outstanding loyalty that it made her heart burst in joy, in response, she kissed him with the same amount of fierce, yet delicate passion that she conveys just for him.

They kissed each other lovingly, and full of commitment to each other.

After all the things that happened, after all those hardships and denial, they found each other and stayed in each other's arms up until now.

They are soulmates, not just today, but for eternity.

Till death do them apart.

And all of this were sworn and vowed.

Under the huge, influential full moon shinning in the dark clear skies.

THE END!

I hope you liked the ending!

Additional info:

Mikan, Natsume and the gang's children are going to attend the academy too, since it's a tradition in their family, except that there are few changes in some rules and the punishments are lighter.

The first in line heirs and heiresses have their own offsprings too, I didn't include their children because they are all grown up a bit and it won't fit the Next Generation Baby Ceremony.

Yoichi and Aoi are the last couple who got married.

Natsume is now the head and heir of the Yukihara East Branch.

Mikan is now a devoted housewife and mother, though she's still seeing the company that she had flourished last year. That is, from time to time.

Since they are mafias, Mikan, Natsume and the others are still doing missions and are still living in a dark secluded world, though they are happy since they found each other's soulmates and produced a line of healthy offsprings.

Mikan and Natsume will be together forever!

Sniff…sniff…

I can't believe the story ends in here (grabbing a Kleenex and looking at the empty boxes of Kleenex scattered on the floor ) Ohh! I'm so happy for everyone! I'm glad that they all found happiness in each others arms! Especially Mikan and Natsume!
