Wow I never thought I�d see the day I actually finished this. This is it and I hope you like it. I thought I�d go for someone else�s POV for
this one and thought this worked out really well. Well enjoy!

25: Epilogue

A small red
butterfly fluttered before landing on a yellow flower, fluttering again as the
wind picked up and the flower swayed in the breeze. Unknown to the butterfly something was stalking it, watching from
the bushed with two bright blue eyes.
It sat there drinking happily not knowing of the danger just three feet
away. The stalkers body tensed as it
readied to pounce, it�s red ponytail swaying with the breeze.

�Kyoko!� The small girls while in mid-pounce fell
forward scaring off her pray. The
little girl of about 4 stood up, her blue-jean overall shorts smeared with dirt
as well as her face and white t-shirt underneath, and looked over her shoulder
angrily at a small brown-haired boy running towards her.

�Kyoko!� The small boy ran trying not to trip over his
somewhat big tan shorts and green t-shirt in the tall grass.

�Seto! I almost had it,� she yelled pouting. The young boy�s face fell.

�G-men.� She sighed, she couldn�t stay mad at
him. He was only a year younger, but
when her cousin looked at her with those sad amethyst eyes she couldn�t stay
mad.

�It�s ok,
I�ll get it later. So when did you get
here?�

�Mom and
dad just got here about ten minutes ago, they�re going to be visiting this
afternoon with your parents.�

�Aunty
Kagura and uncle Yuki visit us a lot in summer,� she thought to herself. �But then I get to see Seto-kun even more,�
she thought with a smile. She lived
with her parent�s at her uncle Shigure�s since her dad really liked
nature. While her cousin Seto and his
parents lived more in the city because of their jobs. So they didn�t see each other that often living on the other side
of the large town, but she still loved her younger cousin to death. �Come on I found something really
cool!� With that she grabbed his hand
and took off into the forest.

�Wait,
shouldn�t we tell someone,� he protested as she dragged him into the
woods. He wasn�t afraid but he usually
didn�t like his parents to worry as they often did, his first year he had
gotten sick quite often and his parents had become overly cautious after
that.

�It�ll be
ok, trust me!� He nod and started
running so he was running with her instead of being dragged. He trusted his cousin more than anyone; she
would never let him down. She evn knew
some karate that her dad taught her. He
had come over once when they were practicing and she was wearing one of those
gis and looked so cool he wanted to try.
But his parents wouldn�t let him. And so he gave in and followed her to
this mystery spot. She stopped suddenly
making him crash into her but righted himself before his face met the
ground. She turned suddenly. �Close your eyes.�

�What�?�

�It�s a
surprise, close your eyes,� she said giving him one of her biggest smiled. He did as she asked and closed his eyes and
felt her hand as it took his and led him forward. They walked a bit more before she stopped and pulled him beside
her. �Ok open!� He opened his eyes and stared in awe at the
small pond she had found. The water was
sparkling blue, crystal clear so you could see to the bottom.

�Wow,
awesome!� As the words left his mouth
his cousin left the land and was airborne as she did a swan dive into the
pond. �Ash! Kyoko-Chan!� He waited
worried for her head to emerge. Which
to his relief did pop up a moment later.
�Kyoko-Chan!�

�Come on in
the water feels great!� He looked down
hesitantly. �Come on, really. It feels so nice with it being so hot out.� Going out into woods he didn�t know, in a
place he didn�t know so well, with no one but his cousin wasn�t scary. Jumping from about 20 feet in the air was
scary as hell. �Come on Seto-kun. Please,� she begged. He gulped looking down from his height again
and to his cousins pleading face. He
took a deep breath and took off his shoes before standing at the edge looking
down. �Come on Seto-kun, you can do
it!� He looked down before letting in
another deep breath and jumping into the air and started screaming as soon as
his feet left the land. He was falling
fast towards the awaiting blue below screaming as if these were his last few
seconds on Earth, which he was pretty sure they were as the blue rushed up and
met him.

�Bulb,
Bulb.� He opened his eyes as he lost
momentum and came to settle near the bottom of the pond. He looked up at the top of the water and how
cool it looked with the sun coming down through it. He let out a small yelp under the water as he looked down and
blue met violet as his cousin was hovering just feet from his face and smiled. She headed for the surface with him not far
behind. Both of them taking in gulps of
air as they came up.

�Wasn�t
that great,� she exclaimed.

�Yeah, � he
said enthusiastically.

�This way,�
she said and started swimming towards the center of the lake. He followed as his cousin swam towards the
center and then amazingly stood up.

�What
the�?� He followed and soon found his
hands and feet were touching sand.

�It�s a
sand bar,� she said as he followed her to meet in the middle of the underwater
island. He saw something shiny out of
the corner of his eyes and picked up a small twisty shell.

�Wow,
pretty,� Kyoko said admiring the shiny shell.

�Here you
can have it,� he said handing it to her.

�Really?� She said her eyes sparkling with joy.

�Really,�
he said with a nod. She smiled as he
put it in her hand and soon found her arms around him in a warm embrace.

�Thank
you! It�s so pretty,� she said and put
it in one of her pockets and zipped it closed.
Just then a cool breeze came by sending goose bumps running up their
arms and legs. They both looked up to
notice the sun was starting to go behind the trees. �We should get back,� she said as she started swimming towards
the far shore bank. �This way,� she said
as he already started sinking back down into the water and following her. They both made it to the bank and quickly
grabbed their shoes and made a mad dash for Kyoko�s house as the sun was now
behind the trees and the forest was getting dark quickly. They made it back to the clearing where the
two had met up just as the fireflies made their presence noticed.

�Wow,
look!� Kyoko looked to her left where
he pointed and noticed one of the little flickering bugs. She put her fingers to her lips to signify
he should be quiet as she slowly crouched down and crawled over to where it was
currently blinking on a weed. She sat
there a minute watching it blink a few more times before it blinked once again
and she pounced.

�Kyoko-Chan?� He walked over to where she had been a
second ago and nearly screamed when she popped out of the long grass her two
hands wrapped in a kind of fist.

�Look!� She slowly opened her palm and looked down
to see the little glow bug blinking helplessly on her hand.

�Wow!� They watched it take flight only to appear a
second later on Seto�s head. Kyoko
giggled.

�I think it
likes you.� He watched it blink a few
more times before taking to the air.
�Visit again soon,� yelled Kyoko as they both waved goodbye to the
firefly. They looked up to see the moon
shining brighter by the second as the sun blinked away the last rays of light.

�We need to
get back,� said Seto even though really didn�t want to but figured his parents
would worry.

�Ok, come
on, I�ll race yaw!� With that she took
off.

�H-hey
wait!� He yelled running after her
through the tall grass. He caught up
quickly though; even if he was shorter they both knew he was better at running
out of the two. She grabbed onto his
arm trying to pull him back and trying to sprint forward. �No fair!�
Her only response was a giggle as they both wrestled to get to the house
first. As they came out of the tall
grass and tumbled down near the back door giggling the familiar figure of their
parents came out to greet them.

�Seto-kun,
where were you, we were worried sick,� said his mother the first to speak.

�You
shouldn�t worry so much Kagura, Kyoko knows where she should and shouldn�t go
around here,� said Kyo defending his daughter.

�You�re
both soaking wet, aren�t you cold,� she asked still worried as she noticed the
disarray of her son�s cloths and the bit of algae clinging to his pants.

�No mom,
we�re fine,� said Seto with a grin on his face.

�Don�t
worry Kagura they can both get a warm bath before you leave,� said a rather
large Tohru as she stepped forward to hug Kyoko. �Did you have fun today?�

�Yeah! We went to the pond! And there was a really pretty shell Seto
gave me, then there were fireflies in the field, and then we raced back and it
was a lot of fun!� She took a deep
breath before hugging her mother�s large stomach. �I can�t wait to be a big sister,� she grinned. �Then I can take the baby with me too.� She�d been all for a new sibling as soon as
her parents had told her and couldn�t wait to have someone to take on all these
trips when Seto couldn�t be around.

�I know
honey, but you have to wait until the baby is a little older before you can
take it out on big adventures like that.�

�It�s ok, I
can teach it other cool things! And
Seto can help too!�

Seto
himself had been a bit jealous when he first found out but recently he had
other things on his mind. And as a
child he decided now was the best time to voice these thoughts.

�Mom, can I
be a big brother?� Kagura looked down
with a look of disbelief on her face.

�Maybe
sometime, but not right now ok?� She
said trying to not look back at Yuki who she knew was trying not to laugh.

�Maybe for
Christmas?�

�We�ll work
on it,� said Yuki, which got him a look from Kagura as he continued to grin.

�For now
the two of you need a bath,� said Tohru as she ushered them inside.

�Yay! Come on,� said Kyoko as she grabbed him
pulling him inside. �I got bubbles,�
was heard as the two made their way up the stairs leaving their parents to
watch them, smiling as the sound of their children rang through the house. Tohru looked up just as a shooting star ran
across the night sky. She felt Kyo�s
arms wrap around her and smiled as she finally remembered that one night and
how her wish had come true.

AN: I hope you
enjoyed this story as much as I did. I
started out writing this because of lack of fics and never expected it to get
this long or turn into this but I like it.
Anyway I hope you enjoyed it and maybe one day in the distant future
when I have time I shall try to take it upon myself to write again. Until then, ja!
