A/N: You know something I'm rather sad that I finally finished my story after having really enjoyed writing it, but without further ado my last chapter, I own nothing but my OC enjoy.
Final Chapter: A Brand New Day
Eleanor fluttered hers open having been woken up by the loudest thunder storm that covered all of Astraea Hill. Eleanor rose to a sitting position rubbing her eyes as she did so and glanced over the window seeing the rain fall outside in a melodic rhythm. Of course Eleanor was already having trouble sleeping for the past week as this was her last day as a sixth year here at Miator. It's been a year and half that had passed ever since she came to the school and having finished her fifth year was a very overwhelming experience but unlike before now she was finishing her sixth year and the experience was no different then before as it still felt overwhelming.
Even when Miyuki had graduated from Miator she would still come to the dorms every chance she could just to visit Eleanor who had just started her sixth year at the time, but now it was almost over and Eleanor too would soon graduate. Now that Miyuki wasn't in anymore compromises no thanks to her father, she had all the time in the world for Eleanor. Eleanor couldn't be happier with Miyuki and especially at this very moment as Miyuki had snuck inside the dorms to stay with Eleanor being that she didn't have to attend college for the week and wanted to spend that week with her.
Being that this was Eleanor's last day and she had been very restless, Eleanor really couldn't believe that it was already going to be over. Of course she still had to tell her family that she wanted to stay here in Japan with Miyuki but she wasn't sure how they would take the news. That also attributed to Eleanor's restlessness, she was worried that they might be hurt by their daughter not wanting to come back home.
The feeling of someone turning over caught Eleanor's attention, -"You're awake sweetie?"- Miyuki called out to her as they both had been sleeping together.
-"Yeah."- Miyuki lifted herself up to embrace Eleanor from behind to which Eleanor also held onto her arms as Miyuki rested her head on Eleanor's back.
-"Today is your last day, are you nervous?"- Miyuki said with the most warmth in her voice, -"I'm not sure."- Eleanor went on to explain everything she was feeling with Miyuki listening to every word.
-"It's understandable to feel that way; I also felt the same when I had to leave this place without you."- Miyuki began leading a trail of kisses on Eleanor's bare back, -"But knowing that I always had you to come back too made it worth it."-
-"Besides I'm sure your parents will understand, they've always supported you haven't they?"- Eleanor nodded her head, -"I'll be there with you okay so you don't have to feel uneasy."-
-"Hey now we could finally live together now that you are graduating."- Eleanor's face lit up with a smile, -"That's true…I'm really looking forward to that."- Miyuki kissed the back of Eleanor's neck.
She softly ran her fingers across the back of Eleanor's neck, -"Oh by the way I got you something."- Eleanor turned to see Miyuki looking for something in her purse that was by the bed which she had brought with her.
-"I wanted to give this to you sooner but I wanted to wait for the right moment."-
-"Miyuki you didn't have to get me anything."-
-"No, I wanted too now turn your head."- Eleanor turned her head the other way and she could hear a box being opened then the sensation of a cold metal touching her warm skin that made her jerk a little.
She felt Miyuki fiddle with it for a while, -"You can look now."- Eleanor picked up a silver pendent that Miyuki had placed around her neck much like the one she gave to Miyuki except it was in a shape of a heart with their names engraved right on its surface.
-"Miyuki you didn't have too—"- Miyuki silenced her by planting her lips on hers, -"But I wanted too."- Eleanor kept looking over her gift and Miyuki ran her thumb on it to flip the small little latch on it to reveal a blue colored gem nestled within it.
-"Since I have the gem that's your favorite color, I wanted to give you one that was mine."- Eleanor turned around to fully embrace Miyuki.
-"Thank you."-
They continued to hold each other in silence as the room had a very loving atmosphere to it and the two lovers couldn't be happier. But they finally broke off the hug and kissed each other neither one saying anything till finally Miyuki finally broke the silence.
-"So, how was your last year here, I don't believe I've asked you before."-
Eleanor looking at her replied, -"Well being council president wasn't exactly how I wanted to spend my last year."-
-"But I'm told you did a good job."-
-"Maybe so but I still can't believe you recommended me."- Eleanor gave her a fake mad look making Miyuki giggle.
-"You did fine, besides that's why I recommended you."- She ran her hand softly across Eleanor's face, -"I knew you'd be great for the job."-
-"I'm glad you did though."-
-"So Tsubomi also took up the council president for spica huh"-
-"Yeah as did Kizune for Lulim, it would sometimes get a little crazy I have to admit but in the end we were all still friends."-
-"Tsubomi is quite tenacious though."- Eleanor added
-"I can imagine."-
The two of them continued to talk about how Eleanor's last year went as well as how she is feeling about finally leaving the dorm and graduating. They also talked about what they planned to do after Eleanor left which was for Eleanor to go and live with Miyuki and Shizuma who were sharing an apartment together but were planning to move from there since it was a bit too small for the both of them. Eleanor suggested they could have her father help them and Miyuki was for that idea and she was sure Shizuma would be too since she was planning on asking Nagisa to live with them after she finishes Miator. Eleanor was also planning on asking Yaya if she wouldn't mind living with them, it would be really awesome if she could have her best friend living under the same roof as her but she would have to ask her later when she saw her.
Of course there was one thing Eleanor still had to bring up to Miyuki's attention and she did tell her the night before but she wasn't sure if she was really listening though her expression told her that she was and she was sure it would make her feel a little uneasy again.
-"By the way Miyuki, you never met my parents have you."- Miyuki seemed to stop in her tracks, -"No I haven't."-
-"Then this is perfect you can finally meet them and get to know them, they have been dying to meet you, you know."- Eleanor laid back down on the bed with her arms over her head.
-"They have been telling me over and over that they want to meet you Miyuki."-
-"Really?"- Eleanor could hear Miyuki's voice was a bit shaky, -"Yup."- Miyuki led herself on top of Eleanor.
-"What if they don't like me?"-
-"Not like you? Honestly Miyuki my parents would love you trust me."- Miyuki moved her head slightly till she felt Eleanor's soft hand guide her head to look her in the eyes.
-"Trust me Miyuki, they'll like you"-
-"I trust you Eli."-
-"Don't worry you have nothing to fear…yet."- Eleanor couldn't help but laugh watching a hint of fear form in Miyuki's eyes as Eleanor wrapped her arms around her.
-"You're so silly sometimes you know that Yuki."- They both began to laugh as they held each other.
Elsewhere in the dorms another couple were discussing their plans for the future. Shizuma and Nagisa laid together in bed holding each other as they talked amongst one another. Shizuma who had came back to the dorms with Miyuki to visit their girlfriends after being told that their college classes were being delayed gave them the perfect opportunity to come over. Shizuma had told Nagisa how she felt about her a year ago during the Etolie election in hoping for another Etolie from Miator. Much to the Miyuki's disappointment that the Etolie wasn't from Miator but instead of Spica the pair continued to be together ever since and never once regretted it, the two loved each other very much.
Of course in the end Miyuki was very much happy for Shizuma as demonstrated to her when Miyuki called Shizuma to go out one night. After the two had gotten together Miyuki talked to Shizuma that she was very happy for her and that Miyuki didn't really care about who would be the next Etolie. Miyuki only continued to encourage Shizuma to be happy and continue her relationship with Nagisa.
-"Shizuma I'm so happy you came to visit!"- Nagisa exclaimed cheerfully, -"I promised I would didn't I?"-
-"Besides I wouldn't miss your fifth year graduation."- Shizuma sat upright letting her back rest on the wall next to the bed.
-"I still have one more year to go though."- Nagisa sat up as well laying her head on Shizuma's shoulder as Shizuma put one of her arms around Nagisa.
-"Don't you worry my cute little Nagisa, I promise you that your last year will go by fast."-
-"I believe you Shizuma, although Eli-chan is also leaving this place now that she's graduating and so is Yaya-chan."- Nagisa paused, -"I'm going to be here all alone."- Her voice carried a sad tone to it which made Shizuma hold on to Nagisa even more.
-"What about Tamao don't you always hang out with her."-
-"I do but ever since the Etolie election, it's like she's not the same person anymore."-
-"I see."- Nagisa turned her body a little to be able to hold Shizuma a bit better, -"So in a sense I'm going to be alone here."-
-"Hmm, well I wouldn't say alone did you forget about Chiyo and the girls that always followed Chikaru around even Tsubomi."- Nagisa realizing that they weren't leaving the school either made her face light up, -"That's true! I guess I won't be so alone after all."-
-"You see."- Shizuma gently kissed the top of Nagisa head as she ran her hand back and forth across Nagisa's arm caressing it.
-"Although I better not catch you fooling around with another girl while I'm gone Nagisa."-
-"Eh?!"- Nagisa looked up to see Shizuma's teasing smirk and right as she did Shizuma placed her lips on Nagisa for a meaningful kiss.
-"By the way Nagisa, are you sure you want to move in with us after you graduate?"- Without a moment's hesitation Nagisa quickly answered, -"Of course, I would love to live with you."- Shizuma had told Nagisa of her plan to move in a bigger apartment with Miyuki and Eleanor, from the looks of it Nagisa was really good with the idea.
-"But before all that you still have to meet my parents Shizuma they are coming today."-
-"Eh!"- Shizuma had heard those words before even though it wasn't directed at her at the time. She had overheard Eleanor tell Miyuki that she had to meet her parents before they went inside her room and she couldn't help but laugh at Miyuki's reaction. How those tables have turned, now it was Shizuma's turn to meet Nagisa's parents and she'd never felt more nervous and Shizuma wasn't one to get nervous so easily till Nagisa had uttered those spine chilling words to her. As for Nagisa, she had met Shizuma's family after she had graduated from her sixth year, the two had traveled to Shizuma's summer home and called up her family. Shizuma was very happy that her family were very accepting of Nagisa and her parents had very much enjoyed and loved her company, after Nagisa's shyness towards them wore off of course.
The two cuddled up together as a small laugh escaped Shizuma's mouth as she thought how she would handle the situation with Nagisa's parents and from the looks of it she figured she was in for a wild ride.
In another room of the dorms, Yaya was cheerfully packing her things ready to finally get out of this rule loaded school. Yaya couldn't believe that all those boring years in spica was finally coming to end and not having to wake up early for special events along with those excruciating tests she would sometimes forget to study for. Though she had to admit she was really going to miss the saintly chorus and despite being lazy some days to go practice, it was something she really loved none the less and that was to sing as beautifully as she could.
She'd been getting things ready since last night; she hadn't slept either as she was too excited and ready to get out and begin her life. Of course that wasn't to say she wasn't loathing the idea of going to college, while it did provide her what she wants to do which was to work in the music business she really wasn't up for another painful time consuming life in college. Much to Tsubomi protesting against Yaya not wanting to go, she finally gave in to Tsubomi and convinced her that she was going to attend a college for a music degree in singing or something along those lines.
-"Can you believe it Tsubomi, school is already ending and we finally get to leave."- Tsubomi crossed her arms and crossed one leg over the other as Yaya was talking about all the awesome things they could do together all while she continued to pack her things and taking some posters of the wall.
-"What do you mean WE Yaya-baka!"- She scowled at Yaya, Yaya sensing the tension stopped what she was doing to face Tsubomi, having been with her a year and half, she recognized that tone anywhere and could tell Tsubomi was upset. Yaya mentally scolded herself, she had forgotten that Tsubomi was beginning her third year at the school and she would be staying here for a good while now that Yaya was leaving.
-"Tsubomi I'm sorry I…forgot that you…"- Tsubomi glared at her baka of a girlfriend but she never meant any of it though, she loved her dearly she just wished that Yaya would listen from time to time. But Tsubomi wouldn't trade what they both shared for each other for anything, she didn't know how but Yaya was an amazing girl to be with despite how different they were from one another but Tsubomi would always love her regardless.
Tsubomi exhaled softly, -"You always forget about that, and this is the third time I've had to remind you that I wasn't leaving just yet."- Yaya kneeled down at the foot of the bed where Tsubomi was sitting and embraced her, Tsubomi returned the gesture, and from there Yaya could see a hint of despair in her eyes. Of course Tsubomi should have expected that she would forget again, she had been so excited all this week that Yaya would sometimes not pay attention to what people would tell her and ended up overlooking things.
-"Tsubomi…is my leaving really making you that sad?"- Tsubomi shook her head but Yaya still felt horrible.
-"No…you already promised me that you would visit me every weekend and I believe you will but…what if when you're out there…"- Yaya already knew what she was going to say and chuckled causing Tsubomi to glare at her.
-"You think I'm going to find someone else."- Tsubomi turned her head confirming to Yaya that it was the case; she laughed a bit at how cute she was being.
-"Tsubomi…I would never leave you for someone else, ever."- Tsubomi held her girlfriend tighter.
-"Yaya …I know how you are…you're a big flirt and what if there is another girl that…is better than me."-Tsubomi couldn't bring herself to say the rest but even if she was Yaya had placed her finger on her lips to silence her and shook her head. Yaya had to admit though this was very cute, she never would have guessed that something like this would be on her mind and she was right, Yaya was a big flirt but that all changed the moment Tsubomi entered her life and there was no other girl in her life besides Tsubomi.
-"Tsubomi…there is no other girl out there that could replace you, ever…and I would never leave you for someone else, I love you too much to ever do that."- Yaya felt a tear hit her arm; Tsubomi couldn't hold them in anymore, Yaya sat on the bed to better hold her.
-"Besides, I've never known a girl to be such a tiger in bed like you."- Tsubomi's face shot up fully red and glared at her with the fresh tears in her face. Yaya was only joking and wanted to ease the mood a bit but she did love to tease her from time to time, even though it was true but she would never leave Tsubomi, she loved her too damn much for that to ever happen.
But before Tsubomi could scold Yaya for teasing her, Yaya quickly planted her lips right before she muttered anything and ran her fingers through her beautiful pink hair as they both laid down on the bed with Yaya on top of her.
-"You're such a dummy… but you're my dummy."- Yaya teased
-"…baka…"- a small smile appeared in Tsubomi's lips.
The large double doors swung open and were greeted by the nice sun that sat overhead with fresh winds that made the air very chilly so having a hot day would be very unlikely. Miyuki and Eleanor exited the building hand in hand making their way towards the main gate to await Eleanor's parents who had told her two days ago that they would be coming to see her and meet the famous Miyuki.
Miyuki was still very nervous about meeting them, she wasn't sure if she would make a fool of herself or leave a bad impression and she surely did not want that. Of course Eleanor would tell her otherwise that she had nothing to worry about and that her parents would love her but that didn't seem to make Miyuki feel any better which only made Eleanor tease her more. But that wasn't the only thing that troubled them, while Miyuki worried about meeting her parents, Eleanor was worried about how she would tell them that she wanted to say here in Japan with Miyuki a little longer and find an apartment to live in together. Eleanor didn't know how her parents would react to her news, she was worried that maybe they would be sad that their daughter didn't want to return or that they would think that she hates them or something but it was only a matter of time till she got her answer.
-"This place hasn't changed much has it?"- Eleanor commented on the forest as they made their way to the front gates, seeing as how much had stayed the same over the year and half and now she was saying good bye to the forest she always loved. Miyuki of course kept staring at Eleanor, only a year and half and she couldn't believe how tall she had gotten. Miyuki hadn't noticed before even when they were walking to her room last night but then again it was dark and they did sleep together that night but how did she not ever notice whenever Miyuki would visit her was beyond her.
-"Miyuki?"- Miyuki snapped from her thoughts, now staring at Eleanor who towered above her by a few inches, it felt like only yesterday when Eleanor was much smaller than her and she was all cute because of it.
-"Gomen Eli, I still can't believe how tall you've gotten."- Eleanor seemed to blush as she laughed softly.
-"I'm not threatening you am I?"- Eleanor asked as she stood up on her toes to tease Miyuki that she was the small one now.
-"Not all, in fact I think you look hotter."- Miyuki kept eyeing Eleanor all over dressed in those tight jeans and a form hugging green button shirt that was revealing a bit of cleavage, -"And even more beautiful."-
-"Now you made me blush."- Eleanor tried looking away but felt a hand softly stroke her face and turn it to face Miyuki as she planted her lips on Eleanor's. The pair continued to walk along the paved road and until they found a stone bench they could sit in that had a nice view of the surroundings plus the entrance to the main gate so Eleanor could easily spot her parents should they arrive. The couple sat on the bench and talked about trivial things to pass the time and watching all the other girls pass by with their parents even catching Nagisa with her parents and Shizuma in toll who had a embarrassed look on her face and Eleanor was surprised at how Nagisa's parents were just like her it was too cute. They even managed to see and talk to Yaya who greeted Eleanor warmly and cheered on how it was all over but Yaya did feel horrible about Tsubomi still being at the school without her but Tsubomi quickly cheered up thanks to a few words from Yaya. Eleanor even had asked Yaya if she wanted to live with them but she politely turned down the offer telling her that she was going to live with Tsubomi afterwards but promised her that she would find a place close to hers so they could hang out more easily. After the two had left to meet Tsubomi and Yaya's parents they ran into Chikaru who had come back with Shion to visit her gang of cuties and check up on how they were doing. The four of them had a lot of time to catch up on certain things while everyone was amazed at how much Eleanor had grown and for the first time ever Eleanor finally managed to have a conversation with Shion which proved to be very amazing as Eleanor never really had a conversation with her before.
Once everyone left to do their things, Eleanor and Miyuki sat on the bench waiting for time to go by till her parents arrived. Eleanor couldn't be more excited she had so much to tell them and so many things TO tell them about staying but one thing will lead to another. All the while she began to notice that Miyuki started to look a little worried.
Eleanor held her hand and asked, -"You okay Miyuki?"-
-"Ah yeah I'm fine."- Eleanor gave her a face that said 'Don't lie to me'. Seeing her face Miyuki finally gave in, -"Okay you're right I'm not."-
-"What's bothering you?"-
-"I'm just afraid that they might not like me."- Eleanor contained a giggle that tried to escape her mouth, -"Miyuki I've already told you that you have nothing to fear."-
-"I know, I must be getting annoying with this but it's just this doubt that's eating away at me."-
-"Miyuki I met your dad."- Eleanor teased with a fake mad look as Miyuki stared at her in surprise having remembered those events perfectly before Eleanor finally gave in and started laughing.
-"I'm only joking but in all honesty Miyuki you really have nothing to be afraid off, trust me I'm sure you'll make a good first impression."-
-"I'm not dressed bad am I?"- Eleanor looked her over as she wore a silk blue sweater that hugged her body very nicely and a pair of jeans along with her favorite pair of shoes.
-"I think you look beautiful."- Miyuki gripped Eleanor's hand lovingly, -"Arigato."-
Eleanor leaned her head towards Miyuki's shoulder and rested it on top of it as they continued to talk and wait for Eleanor's parents.
Eleanor spotted something or rather someone in the distance that made her head rise up quickly and stood up to get a better look. Miyuki watched on as Eleanor's face quickly changed to a very excited expression and that only meant one thing.
-"Miyuki that's them! My parents."- Miyuki stood up next to Eleanor who pointed towards the gate to show her who they were. Eleanor quickly grabbed Miyuki by her hand and quickly walked down towards the gate to meet them halfway.
-"Eli I don't know, I'm still so nervous."- Eleanor slowed her pace to turn towards Miyuki, -"It'll be alright sweetie trust me I'll be right by your side."-
The young couple walked a bit slower to let Miyuki mentally prepare herself for what was to come despite Eleanor reassuring her that it would be okay.
Finally Eleanor and Miyuki stood in front of Eleanor's parents. Her father Henry, still in top shape as always dressed in a grey suit with the tie Eleanor had gotten for him on his birthday and her mother Elena dressed in blazer and a black skirt that reached her knees. Miyuki couldn't help but look at Eleanor's mother; she looked almost exactly like Eleanor, except that fact that her mother had way longer hair and it was a light brown color, she could see where Eleanor's beauty came from though she had her father's eyes but other than that the resemblance was uncanny.
-"Mom, Dad"- Eleanor stopped herself; she had forgotten that they didn't speak Japanese and saw they were a bit taken aback.
"Whoa there kiddo I'm afraid we don't speak Japanese." Eleanor couldn't help but crack a smile as she ran up to her father's arms, "Mom, dad I've missed you both." Elena joined in the group hug.
"Now I had no idea I had a daughter that was so tall, what happened to my cute little girl?" Elena noticing her growth as did her father after she pointed it out, she was almost Henry's height.
"What have you been eating kiddo?" Eleanor never breaking off her hold said, "Well that's what happens when you don't see someone for a year."
"Darling we're so sorry we couldn't visit." Eleanor shook her head, "I'm just glad I saw you both that one time when you did visit."
Miyuki watched on as Eleanor was talking with her family; she had almost forgotten how Eleanor sounded like speaking in English since after teaching her Japanese Eleanor never once spoke in English despite being tempted into it or if the situation called for it. Miyuki warmly remembered how Eleanor struggled trying to learn the language and now that she thought about it, it was really cute seeing her struggle back then but she eventually got it though not perfectly at first, it did take a few months afterwards till she was a bit more fluent.
"And the time I called dad when…"
"When Tightass Rokujo separated my little girl from her beautiful girlfriend." Eleanor's face flushed with red, -
"Dad!"
"Don't 'dad' me sweetheart just wait till I see him I'm gonna give him a peace of mind!" Elena lightly jabbed her husband on his side which brought him to look at her as he said, "After a civil conversation of course." After Elena looked away he turned towards Eleanor as he gave her a wink that said 'I was lying.'
Elena looked behind Eleanor and noticed the timid Miyuki watching them though she hid it well there was no hiding it from Elena and quickly assumed this was the famed Miyuki.
"Eli darling aren't you going to introduce us." Eleanor looked at her mother and saw that she was staring at Miyuki with the warmest expression a mother could have. Eleanor walked back and held Miyuki's hand as she brought her forward towards them, Miyuki could feel her heart beat a little faster as she gripped Eleanor's hand.
"Mom, Dad I'd like to introduce you to Miyuki, my girlfriend." Eleanor turned towards Miyuki, "Miyuki this is Henry and Elena Raynsford."
Miyuki shook hands with both her parents, "Pleased to meet you both."
"Pleasure's all mine Miyuki." Henry bowed his head a little, "I'm glad to finally meet you Miyuki, my daughter has told us all about you." Elena added, "I apologize for what my husband called your father."
Miyuki shook her head as she said, "No need to apologize, Mr. Raynsford is right about him." Henry gave his wife a look that said 'Told you so' As Elena only rolled her eyes.
"Well anyways Miyuki our daughter has told us a lot about you, mostly how happy she makes you feel and how special you are too her." Miyuki could see Eleanor blushing behind her mother.
"It's nice to see that you two really love each other and from what Eleanor's told us I truly believe that you two will be together for a long time."
"Thank you, I really love your daughter Mrs. Raynsford."
"Please you can just call me Elena." While Elena conversed with Miyuki so they can get to know each other, Henry pulled Eleanor to the side to talk with his daughter after all it had been quite a long time since they have seen each other and he truly missed their silly banters.
"It's been quite a long time hasn't it sweetie." Eleanor watched on as Miyuki and Elena talked to each other seeing them both laugh made Eleanor feel at ease that her mother quickly warmed up to Miyuki.
Eleanor turned to her dad to answer, "Yeah it really has."
"So how have you two been ever since you called me that year ago?"
"It's been way better, I got Miyuki back and we've been together ever since."
"I'm happy for you kiddo, I'm glad that you found someone worth loving."
Eleanor looked at Miyuki, "It is, more then you can imagine."
"You think she might be the one kiddo." Eleanor pondered that for a moment, "I think so dad…but even if fate says otherwise I wouldn't care because I will always love her no matter what."
Henry nodded his head before nearing his face near Eleanor's ear, "So…have you both done it." He raised both his eyebrows twice with a large smirk as he watched his daughter's face run completely red and she knew he has done it again, he must have really missed messing with her like that.
"DAD!" Henry began holding his sides as he burst in a fit of laughter as Eleanor playfully assaulted him, and it truly felt like old times for him.
"Are they always like this?" Miyuki asked as a smile formed on her face, "Oh more then you know, you should see them back home there are times when I can't get them to shut up." Elena laughed recalling how her husband and daughter would never shut up with their arguments about trivia things but she had to admit the two of them were always entertaining and managed to bring laughter into her life. Miyuki couldn't help but envy Eleanor though she did feel bad for feeling this way, but she would have loved to have a family like hers, with a father that loved her and took time out of his day to spend it with her although her mother already did that which she always appreciated but she still needed her father but she knew that would never happen.
"You three must be really close as a family." Elena nodded her head, "They both bring me joy even when I'm feeling depressed at times due to a stressful day at work, how I missed this." Deep down Miyuki knew that her mother would not exactly get this back because Eleanor wants to stay and now she felt horrible knowing that her mother would still linger on this memory of having her family back even though it's not a permanent situation it was still a painful one.
Once all four of them regrouped they began to head down the steps to where Henry had his car parked and they all talked on the way there. This time however Miyuki was chatting with Eleanor's father and Miyuki was surprised on how easy going he was and she had a great time talking with him and in an instant all of her fears were finally gone.
"So Eli are you finally ready to come home?" Eleanor knew this question was coming up sooner or later and no matter how hard she tried there was just no preparing for it and Elena knew something was up just by observing the change in Eleanor's face.
"Mom, Dad this was exactly what I wanted to talk to you both about." Elena and Henry stood close together to listen what their daughter was going to say and Miyuki could see this was already taking a toll on Eleanor. Miyuki stood next to Eleanor and held her hand.
"I don't want to go yet. I want to stay here in Japan with Miyuki." Both her parents were speechless as they were not expecting that answer.
"You don't want to come home?" Eleanor shook her head, "No it's not like that, at least till I'm done with college I can still pursue what I want to do here and then I can come home."
"That's an awfully long time to wait kiddo." Eleanor lowered her gaze, "I know…this is hard on me too, I really missed you both."
"Are you sure this is what you want sweetheart?" Eleanor didn't want to make eye contact fearing she might end up crying, "Yes, I can get a small job here and finish school."
"I've already planned that I'm going to the same college with Miyuki and continue my education there and then I can come back home."
"You really thought this through haven't you darling?" Elena tried her best to sound composed; it's never easy for a parent to let their child leave the nest.
"I have and I promise I'll visit frequently every chance I can."
"I really wanted to see you on that plane with us back home." Elena tried wiping the stray tear that fell her eye, "I'm sorry mom, I really want to stay with her."
Henry and Elena looked at each other as they both smiled and turned back towards Eleanor.
"Well…you'll first need a place to stay kiddo." Eleanor looked up at her father who carried a very loving expression. Eleanor quickly ran up to her parents and embraced the both of them.
"We'll find you an apartment that's large enough and that you can afford, of course we'll help you if you need it." Elena added, "I hope you really do visit us darling, the house has gotten rather lonely without you, without the loud music blasting from your room and just hanging out every day with you." Eleanor had no words on how much she loved the both of them.
Henry looked up towards Miyuki, "You take care of her okay." Miyuki nodded, "I promise."
"Well in that case, shall we go find you an apartment kiddo?" Eleanor nodded and mentioned to her father that two more friends were going to share it with them, "You know something I kinda figured that was going to be the case." Her mother added.
"Oh and by the way kiddo, since you'll be living here I guess your mother and I can stay here for a whole week with you so we can catch up and hangout like old times, if you'll let us of course."
"Really?" Eleanor felt an overwhelming sense of happiness; she couldn't describe how much she missed the both of them and having them stay a whole week with her was just amazing. "I would love that more than anything."
They both got in the car and started it as Miyuki gave Eleanor a big hug and the two of them could only hold each other now that they both could finally live together and as they looked into each other's eyes they both quickly locked lips for what was supposed to be a very soulful kiss till of course.
"Hey if you two are done tongue wrestling back there maybe we can get going and find you a place to live." Henry was sticking his head out the window to grab Eleanor's attention.
"Dad come on!" they both retreated inside the car embarrassed that her father had caught them and Eleanor knew she wasn't going to hear the end of it. As they drove on Eleanor rested her head on Miyuki's shoulder as Miyuki wrapped her arm around her and held onto her free hand as the car began driving off into the distance before it could no longer be seen but one thing is for sure, that Miyuki and Eleanor still had a long way to go in their relationship but no matter what awaited for them in the future they would get through it together.
End Chapter.
E/N: Well this has been quite the run hasn't it, you know something I never would have thought I would love writing this story more than I did and I want to thank anyone who took the time to read my story, and to those that left some nice reviews which were very much appreciated and I hope you all enjoyed my first fanfic. Now as I was writing this last chapter I figured I didn't want to end it just yet so I might write a sequel to Eleanor and Miyuki's story and keep it going, not sure when I'll have the first few chapters out but I'll post them when I do, so until the next time guys.
