Last Chapter: Contentment

"You should have not blurted out something like that to him." lectured a very irate Tsunami to the pouting Naomi "After all the trauma that he had after being stabbed! And he just awakens!"

Ringo was laughing so hard that she almost fell on the wooden floor. The four head alices are on Naomi's office, having some tea and talking with each other. Naomi was not surprised when her son found out about the secret library. She knew that somehow, that secret would be discovered, although, she doesn't know that Narumi was the one who directed the young cat.

"Tell me Naomi, why in the seven hells did you confessed to him spontaneously?" asked Heleyna

Naomi blushed and looked sideways, fidgeting a little. Heleyna raised an eyebrow at this and chuckled evilly.

"Come on… you can tell me Naomi-chan." she cooed

"Ano sa… Watashiwa Yo-chan no yakusoku (Uh, it was my promise to Yo-chan)" was the meek reply

Flashback:

Ringo made his way at the back while Heleyna was once again in the mike.

"Next would be Naomi."

Naomi made her way to the mike and asked gently.

"What would be your wish?"

"I want it to be a secret for the two of us."

"Ok."

The elder alice made her way to the celebrant and gracefully kneeled so that the boy could whisper.

"I want you to… tell Narumi-sensei that you love him when you feel it's the right moment."

Cerulean eyes widen but smiled once again. She nodded and mouthed a word that made the ghost manipulator happy.

'Soon.'

End Flashback

Ringo laughed even harder at the story. Heleyna can't help but let a giggle escape on her lips.

"And you think that it's the right moment?" asked Tsunami, her lips slightly tugging for a smile

Naomi looked at the three and pouted.

"Well… Yeah."

"And that made him faint again!" exclaimed Ringo on the midst of her laugh.

Laughter filled the room while the great raven alice continues to pout. But her next chosen words seized the laughter.

"Because I don't have much time left." was the words so softly spoken.

"Yeah... we need to go back to Barcelona soon." Heleyna agreed and the three hugged Naomi before she breaks don again

Persona and Natsume were making their way to the last room at the medical wing. This is the room where Narumi was confined with for the past week. Today was the day of Narumi on the wing and the two decided to pick him up. They didn't tell anybody and avoid the mind reading alice so that they could surprise the Lady Kazama.

"Do you think this is a great idea, sensei?" asked the neko

"Yes, I know it is." was the reply before opening the door where the man their beloved leader loves is standing

The academy is buzzing with laughter and chatters. Mikan and Natsume were strolling along with their friends. The whole school knew what had happened and that there are two new couples have finally found happiness.

They went on every class's booth or display enjoying the last day of the Alice festival. Hotaru and Mikan left their lovers when Aoi found them and told them that they must prepare for the knight dance. They went to the youngest Sakura's room to prepare. They wore the standard gown for the elementary students, but now, the three are wearing a tiara on their head and a golden belt that criss-crossed on their waist.

They went down on the quadrangle and met their friends. Natsume and Ruka were both waiting for their arrival and escorted them to the whole evening. Tsuunami and Heleyna's lovers did arrive from Barcelona and they are no dancing on the fire, along with Persona and Ringo.

Mikan was sitting on the make-shift fountain that they have made days before with Natsume.

"Neh, Tsume-chan."

Natsume looked at the brown orbs that he loves the most. He smiled and gave Mikan a peck on the lips before smiling.

"What is it?" he asked

"Have I told you…" Mikan smiled "That I love you?"

Natsume's eyes widen. That was so random and he was caught off guard by it. He smiled once again before kissing the other's lips once more.

"Only everyday."

Song after song as played. When midnight is already a few minutes away, Naomi made her way to the stage and smiled at the lovely couples dancing by the fire. They knew what time it is and made their way to the very person they like the most. She scanned the ground for any familiar blonde but she found nothing the whole night.

'Of course, he would still be on the medical wing.'

She forced herself to smile so that the occasion won't be ruined by her willowing.

"As for the last dance, I will sing this song for my ever so darling and daring grand daughter, Mikan Sakura and her lover… my adopted son, Natsume Hyuuga-Kazama and to all too who will dance with their love ones tonight. This would be my reward for all the efforts, tears, courage and trust from the last war." smiled Naomi "Enjoy… after all, your last dance means everything."

The eldest alice started to play the chords on the piano as the band back her up.

(Song: One in a million by Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana)

How did I get here, I turned around and there you are

I didn't think twice I rationalize 'coz somehow I knew

That there was more than just chemistry

I mean I know you were kind of into me

But I figure it's too good to be true

Natsume smiled at her girlfriend beside her and held his hand light a prince before bowing.

"May I take this dance, hime-sama?(Princess)" asked Natsume as he mocked in a prince's tone

Mikan curtsied with a playful smile on her face.

"Why of course, Hikari-Yami Ooji(Light and Darkness Prince), it would be my pleasure." she replied and giving her hand on to which they started to dance

I said pinch me where's the catch this time

Can't find a single cloud in the sky

Help me before I get used to this guy

"Neh koi…" started Ringo but before she even finished, Persona already dragged her to the dance floor.

They say that good things take time

But really great things happen in blink of an eye

Thought the chances to meet somebody like you were a million to one

I can't believe it! Oh! You're one in a million

"Cariña, shall we dance?" asked Syrux

"Of course my dear." replied Tsunami, her left hand shinning with the engagement ring that she received.

The two were followed by Heleyna and her beloved fiancé on the dance floor.

All this time I was looking for love

Trying to make things work, they weren't good enough

Till I thought I'm through, said I'm done and stumbled into the arm, on the one

You making me laugh about silliest stuff

Saying I'm a diamond in the rough

When I'm mad at you, you come with your velvet touch

Can't believe that I'm so lucky, I have never felt so happy

Every time I see that sparkle in your eyes

Everyone followed the other's lead and soon, the whole dance floor was filled with smiles and blushes. Naomi can't help but to smile at her children. The smiling faces and the joy of freedom, that sparkles in their eyes. She cannot help but to smile as well. Contentment. Finally, there is peace.

I can't believe it! Oh! You're one in a million

Yeah, one in a million

Applauses were heard at the last beat of piano was heard. The dancing stopped and Naomi bowed down to her audience. Ringo looked at the male Hyuuga and nodded her head towards the stage where Naomi was descending. In a flash, Natsume made his way behind his mother and blindfolded her.

"Kora! What is this?!" asked Naomi as she struggled

"Stay still mama!"

Trusting the voice of her son, she stood still and waited for him to lead her. Natsume smiled before taking his mother's hand and leading her to the border of the forest. He stopped and vanished before reappearing on Mikan's side, sliding his arms on her waist.

"Natsume?" asked Naomi "Natsume, doko desu ka(Where are you)?"

Slowly, her blindfold was being taken off. Her eyes are a little bit blurry so she blinked it a few times before her sight focused on the man before her.

"Good evening, Naomi."

Cerulean eyes widen. In front of her was the man she loves, kneeling before her. His eyes are sparkling with mirth, not the usual mischievousness. He was wearing the standard clothes on a Kazama ball. Natsume and Persona met each other's gaze and both smirk triumphantly.

Flashback:

The two dangerous typed alice entered the only patient's room, placing down a bag that Natsume as carrying.

"Hello Narumi-san, how are you feeling?" asked Persona as he approached the man and gave him a short hug

"I'm fine as rain my friend." Was the reply

Natsume opened the bag, and taking out the white clothes on it.

"Narumi-sensei, I think it's time already to reply to her." he said showing the party clothes that Narumi usually wear on a Kazama Ball

"Where did you find this?" asked Narumi as he got the clothes to Natsume

Natsume winked and smirked before replying.

"It's a secret."

End Flashback

"Can I take this dance?" asked Narumi who smiled lovingly at the raven haired angel before him before bowing his head and offering his hand as if asking a lady on a ball.

"But Narumi…" Naomi hesitated to take the other's hand "I already sang the last song."

"Who says that it's the last song?" was the cocky retort

Guitar started to strum as Narumi stood up and took the other's hand and started to dance.

"I don't want this moment to ever end, where everything's nothing without you" Narumi started to sing

(With Me by Sum 41)

I'll wait here forever just to, to see you smile
'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you

Naomi looked at the stage and saw her whole family playing the instruments or simply staring at them. As expected, her son was the one on the guitar who picked up the sensei's opening vocals while Mikan was looking at her, carrying Youichi while holding Aoi on her free hand.

Through it all, I made my mistakes
I stumble and fall, but I mean these words

Naomi explored the grounds and found all the alice students holding candles and swaying with the rhythm.

I want you to know
With everything I won't let this go, these words are my heart and soul
I'll hold on to this moment you know, 'as I bleed my heart out to show
And I won't let go

Thoughts read unspoken, forever in doubt
Pieces of memories fall to the ground
I know what I didn't have so, I won't let this go
'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you

All the streets where I walked alone, with nowhere to go
I've come to an end

I want you to know
With everything I won't let this go, these words are my heart and soul
I'll hold on to this moment you know, 'as I bleed my heart out to show
And I won't let go

In front of your eyes, it falls from the skies
When you don't know what you're looking to find
In front of your eyes, it falls from the skies
When you just never know what you will find (what you will find)

I don't want this moment to ever end
Where everything's nothing without you

Ringo looked at Mikan. The two knew what each other is thinking. Carefully, Mikan let Youichi down and smiled at him. The two Sakuras placed out their right hand near their lips and carefully blew. Sparks of red flew with the air. Heleyna, noticing what the two were doing, gently swayed her hand so that the sparks would spread creating a fire fly effect.

I want you to know
With everything I won't let this go, these words are my heart and soul
I'll hold on to this moment you know, 'as I bleed my heart out to show
And I won't let go (I want you to know)
With everything I won't let this go, these words are my heart and soul
I'll hold on to this moment you know, 'as I bleed my heart out to show
And I won't let go

Naomi looked at the man before him and knew that he is her forever. Sighing, she let a smile paint her face. With the final tone, Narumi leaned down and claimed the other's lips.

'I love you…'

'Forever'

Lady Naomi Ayame Kazama's family is standing on the airport, smiled on their places, bags are at ready.

"Are you sure that you will be going with them?" asked Mikan "Persona-nii, Otousan…"

Persona placed a hand on the younger Sakura's alice, patting it lightly while smiling.

"Not to worry, Narumi and I would be back after a few months." replied Persona

"He's right my loving daughter." added Narumi while leaning don and kissing the brunette's head.

Mikan was standing beside Natsume, while Youichi was on the middle holding each of his parent's hand.

"And don't worry Natsume, Aoi would be back before you knew it."

"Hai nii-chan! I'll be back next year after I finished my training there."

"Air3000 passengers, private plane is now boarding."

"I guess it's our flight." said Syrux

They gave each other their goodbyes before they split and the older alices along with Aoi went to the plane. Tsunami, Ringo, Heleyna and Naomi were still standing in front of them smiling bitterly.

"Well, it was nice being with you guys, good bye." Tsunami started as she gave each one a kiss on the cheek before following the other's on the plane.

"Be good and Make good okay?" Heleyna smiled before giving the three a hug and following her sister.

Ringo was sniffing, she doesn't want to show her weak side but she cannot help but let a single tear fall. She immediately hugged her only heir tightly who in return hugged her with much fervor.

"Gaki (Brat)! You're my lovely grand daughter and the only family I have." said Ringo on her sobs

"I love you to grams." was the soft reply

Natsume knew that his beloved is trying to hold her tears as well.

"Oi, baba(Old lady)! Don't go all mushy on me!" exclaimed Natsume trying to lighten up the mood

Ringo stood up, rubbing her eyes before replying.

"Urusei, Baka Neko!(Shut up stupid cat!)" she replied before boarding the plane

Naomi smiled at the little family that was formed before her on the past year. She gave each a tight hug before smiling once again.

"See you soon, my lovely son." she said on their link

"I love you mama, take care."

Naomi gave a little wave before leaving the family that Natsume has created.

Thee three watch as the people that took part of their lives made their way to another country. They facing the glasses and watched as the plane took off. Mikan can't stop the single tear that fell on her face, watching as she placed her hand on the glass. Feeling a pair of strong arms on her waist and the familiar aura, she smiled and looked at a pair of loving crimson eyes staring back at her.

"We'll see them again." said Natsume to his girlfriend

"I know." was the soft reply

"Mama! Papa! Let's go back to the academy!" called Youichi from the bench

Mikan smiled and wrapped her hands with the neko's as they made their way to the boy that ties them all. Mikan held the hand that was holding Natsume's which the younger alice accepted. Natsume gently wrapped his hands to Youichi's free one and smiled softly at him. Silence filled the whole walk towards the awaiting vehicle.

"Now about that baby brother I requested." Youichi said as he held both of his 'parents' hands walking back to the car where they will drive back to their so called home.
