It's sad for me, but this is the end of the Fan Fic. Here's the epilogue.
Thank you for reading my absurds ideas. ^^
Now... EPILOGUE!
You Are My Boy
Epilogue
Three Years LaterThree years. Three years since the fight with Berryz Koubou. Three years since Airi started to speak. And three years since I started dating Chisato. Everything has changed.
I looked around and found myself staring at Hashimoto's photo. My brother started dating Mano's sister and they went to Kyoto together. I really miss him. Chisato and him were good friends, and before he left, he gave Chisato a present: his precious bass. Since that day, she plays her new bass everyday.
Now Chisato was taller than me, even taller than Erika, but her personality didn't change at all. She was still my pervert, nose-bleeding, perfect Okai Chisato.
But thinking about Chisato just made myself got weak.
“What's going on?” someone asked.
I turned my head and faced Maimi. She was wearing her red kimono and her hair was in an elegant chignon. She was also wearing make up, which made her cuter than she already was. She smiled as she put on the earrings that I gave her for her birthday.
At first I didn't want her to be my stepsister, but then, when our new sister was born, I met the real and sweet Maimi. We spent many afternoons looking after Na. Her real name is Natsumi, but we always call her Na or Na-chan. She's the new pet of ºC-ute.
For a second, I wondered what would happen if Na wasn't born. Maybe, who knows, she hadn't have to leave me. But then I shook my head, it wasn't Na's fault. It was nobody's fault.
It was going to happen anyway.
“Why are you not wearing your kimono?” she got closer to me, giving me a worried look. “Come on, I'll help you to put it on”
She held my arm and tried to led me to my room, but I didn't let her. I respired loudly and got ready to tell her the truth.
“I'm not going to be in the graduation ceremony”
Maimi's eyes widened and her mouth formed a perfect O. She tried to say something, but she seemed to don't know what to say. I sat down on the armchair and she finally spoke.
“But why?!” she exclaimed while she sat beside me. She placed her hand on my lap and looked directly at my eyes. “Kanna... you know you can trust me. Just tell me why”
I didn't know how to explain her, but I tried my best to tell her what's going on.
“I won't go because it'll be the last time I see her. After that stupid ceremony, she'll go and I'll never see her again” I started to sob while Maimi looked at me shocked. She cupped my cheek and wiped my tears with the tip of her fingers.
“What are you talking about?” she rose her brows slightly and she went to take a tissue. When she came back I took her hand in mine while I wiped my tears with the tissue.
I was ready to tell her my reasons.
FlashbackOur final class of the day was over, and we all were going to the club, even Berryz too. We weren't enemies anymore, but we still had our gangs and our clubs because we didn't want to break them.
When we were about to leave the class, Chisato told me something.
“We need to talk”
I rose my brows and nodded my head in reply. “We can go to my house later and talk there” I answered.
“No. We should talk now. We can go to the club later” she said, looking seriously at my eyes.
I looked back at Maimi and she bowed her head. They all left the classroom, leaving the two of us alone. She sighed and got closer to me. She cupped my face and gave me a kiss. I closed my eyes and when I touched her cheeks I knew something was wrong.
It was wet.
I opened my eyes and stared at her face's expression. It was the first time I saw her crying and I felt surprised, shocked, sad. She shook her head and wiped her tears. She was finding hard to breathe, but she managed to say “I'm afraid, Kanna”.
My eyes widened as she finished the sentence. She always said that she wasn't afraid of anything. I hugged her and she began to sob against my neck.
“I'm already 19 years old...” she mumbled as she pulled me away gently. “But I'm afraid”
“Why are you afraid?” I asked as I got closer to her to stroke her face.
“You know my little brothers went with the oldest to Osaka last week, right?” I nodded my head 'yes' in reply. She sighed. “I'm not sure about that but... I think I'm going with them too”
“What?! But... why? You told them that you're able to live alone” she stroked my hands and sent me a little smile.
“I lied” she answered. “I'm not.” she cried even more. “I don't have enough money and I'll never find a job because I don't have money to pay the university. I'll end living on the streets, asking people for a cigar or something.”
“You are afraid because that?” I was shocked.
“No. I'm afraid because I'm going to work in Osaka and I'm going to lose you” she covered her face with her hands and continued crying.
“You're not going to lose me. I'll still love you” I said as I began to cry as well.
“But you're going to study here in Tokyo. We're going to be separated for a long time, maybe years.” she wiped my tears. “Come on, I don't want you to cry as me. It's your turn to be the strong one” she gave me a smile and went to kiss me. “I love you, Kanna, just know that”
“I love you too... I love you with all my heart”
End of the Flashback“Chisato is leaving?” she asked, and I slowly nodded my head. She continued wiping my tears as she seemed to think hard about something. “You should go to the graduation anyway. You have to tell her goodbye, and tell everyone goodbye as well, but specially to her. She wants to see you there with a smile, not crying here. She told you that you've to be the strong one, Kanna. A strong person would go to that ceremony”
Maimi was right. I was acting like a child with all that, and I wasn't a child anymore. I wasn't the one who went crying to Momoko's house. I wasn't that girl anymore. Even Maimi got mature, I wasn't going to be that child forever.
“Besides, today in the ceremony I'm going to ask Erika to get married with me.” she smiled and showed me a little box.
“Really?!” I exclaimed. She nodded her head and laughed a little.
“Are you going to miss that precious moment, Kanna?” she rose one eyebrow and reached out to hold my hand.
“No... I won't” I answered as I got up. “Now help me to put my kimono on!”
She smiled and nodded her head as we went to our room. Yes, it was actually our room. When my mother and Maimi's father got married we had to share my room and also my bed. The first night was uncomfortable, but at the second night Maimi started talking and telling me everything about herself, Erika and stuff like that. Since that day, we both liked to share that precious moment before going to sleep.
It was just funny. Maimi and I got closer in not time at all. At the second week after the wedding she started to call me “little sister”, and she really surprised me when she said it.
But the rebel and dangerous Maimi Yajima wasn't gone at all. Two years ago she did something that shocked all of us. She went to speak with Tanaka and told her to leave us alone. That night she got home having a lot of bruises on her arms, but she didn't care about it. She won that fight, and she was glad because it was over. I was glad too, but I was scared about Maimi's situation too.
Since that day, Niigaki and the others were our senpais. They tough us how to fight and last year we had our first real fight versus Takahashi's team. That girl was obsessed with that idea of 'High King' and she wanted to get Tanaka, Shimizu and Maimi with her, no matter what she had to do. I hate her with all my heart because of what she did that night.
When I remembered that fight, I couldn't help it but cry. Maimi noticed my tears when she was helping me to put my kimono on, and looked worried at me.
“What's wrong?” she asked as she placed her hands on my hips to turn me around to face me.
I couldn't look at her eyes, I didn't know how she would react. “I just... remembered the fight” I finally said.
Maimi shook her head and started talking with a sad tone. “You don't need to think about it now. She's gone, but she's still with us inside our hearts. I would like her to graduate with us today, but now she's far away from us.” I looked at her, and she smiled a little. “Do you know what? I didn't pay attention to her at all, but when the incident happened I started missing her a lot. She was someone special for the group, but she usually got ignored because we all had our couples and she was the only one who hadn't. When we hung out with her she was always sighing and crossing her arms, like if she didn't want to get involved in the group. It was something that made me admire her” she wiped my tears and smiled once again. “But... now she's gone and we can't do anything. I know that she's watching us today and everyday, so we have to smile for her.”.
Maasa Sudou was only 18 years old when the incident happened. She was the hardest fighter of Berryz, and she was training hard to this fight. Tanaka and the others were satisfied with her because she was really strong and she really knew how to fight people. We all were happy having her by our side.
That night, when we went to the camp, we didn't know that we were going to lose her forever.
Our group had more member than Takahashi's group, but the members of her group were older and stronger. When the fight started, one tall girl called Miki started punching me but I couldn't protect myself. She pushed me and made me fall to the floor. She sat on top of me and she continued punching my face while she asked me if liked how she was hitting me. I couldn't answer her.
When I thought that I was going to die, someone kicked Miki's head, making her collapse on top of me. My saviour helped me to stand up and asked me if I was okay. I just nodded my head.
Maasa Sudou rescued me, and because of that, she died. They shot her in the chest with a gun and the murderer ran away after that. Moments later, the cops and the ambulance came, but it was too late. The doctor Kamei told us that she was dead.
“Just forget what happened, okay? I know that she rescued you, and you've been blaming yourself because that, but you know that Satoda would shot someone anyway. It wasn't your fault.” Maimi kissed my cheek. She was right again, I should forgot about it.
The door-bell rang and she went to open the door. I looked myself at the mirror. The kimono was beautiful, I knew that it would fit me. I smiled and, after a few seconds, Maimi came back to the room having Tamagochi beside her.
“Hey, Kanna, how are you?” she asked, smiling at me. “Wow, the kimono is incredible. You were right, it really fits you!”
“Thank you, Tamagochi, your kimono is cute too” I bowed my head. Yes, we actually call her like that because one day I accidentally called her that and she liked it. I felt glad. I thought that she was going to get angry.
Momoko changed a lot in the last years. She didn't got taller, but her hellium voice got a mature tone. All the Berryz Koubou members changed as well.
Yurina got even taller, and if she wanted to kiss Momoko she had to bent down. It was just too funny to see those two.
Chinami was even more hyper, and Nakky was scared about that. She always said that it was too difficult to make her go to bed. Oh, yes, Nakky was now living in Chinami's house because the problems with her father.
Risako was more romantic. She was always thinking about how to surprise Airi.
Captain and Miyabi were the only ones who didn't change at all, but they were the most affected members when Maasa died. They were always pissed as me, but they forgot about it earlier than me.
The only one who didn't forget it as well was Chisato. She always saw Maasa as her rival, but she liked her and loved her.
“Hey, do you care if I smoke here?” Momoko asked as she took her snuff out from her pocket.
Yes, my dear friends, yes. All the Berryz Koubou members started smoking. It was weird to see Momoko smoking at first, but then we all got used to it.
“We don't care, Tamagochi, just open the window and close the door. We don't want Na to get infected with the smoke of the snuff” Maimi said as she helped me with the make up.
“Thanks, Maimi!” she did what Maimi told her to do and started to smoke her cigar.
“It's weird to see a girl smoking and wearing a kimono, isn't it?” I asked as I stuck my tongue out at her. She just chuckled and continued smoking.
After a while we were ready to go to the graduation ceremony. Maimi and Momoko weren't worried or nervous at all, but I was. I didn't know how I would greet Chisato. Maimi held my hand all the way to the Academy to make me feel comfortable and to don't let me go back home. When we arrived there, Momoko disappeared after the-even-taller Yurina. Maimi and I just chuckled at that. It was a strange couple, but there were more weird couples inside our class.
“Yuu! Come on here and put your kimono on!” a woman shouted at a running girl.
“Yuu! Do what your mother tells you to do, damn it!” Sayaka exclaimed as she followed her girlfriend. Yes, that's the other weird couple of the academy.
“I don't wannaa, I don't like that kimono” she groaned as she continued running. When she passed running in front of us, Maimi stopped her by holding her arm.
“Come on, Yuu, put the kimono on now. The graduation ceremony will start soon” Maimi said with a serious tone. Kikkawa looked down at the floor and nodded her head.
“Okay, Maimi-sama” Haha, that girl was too much! She really admired us but we couldn't understand why she acted like that when she was with us. She was funny anyway. She should think about being a comedian, as Korikki but not wearing those kind of clothes.
We waved her as she went to the club with Sayaka and her mother. Maimi sighed and I just chuckled. I was going to miss Yuu since she was going to live in Niigata with Sayaka.
“Hey, Mai, can you help me with the scenery?” we suddenly heard. I turned around and I found myself looking at the other weird couple. I couldn't understand how they started dating, or who fell in love with whom. That couple just made me feel happy, because everything was possible if you love someone and that person loves you too. Kyah, I suck, I should shut up and just tell what happened next.
“Of course, Mano-chan” Mai said as she placed one of her hands on Erina's hip, making her cheeks flush. It wasn't usual to see Erina blushing, but whenever she was with Mai, she blushed.
“N-not time for that. Kaori will be angry if we don't have the scenery for the graduation ceremony NOW” she started walking quickly and left Mai without saying anything more.
“Oh, come on!” Mai sighed and followed her.
Even Mai changed. She wasn't an annoying and stupid girl anymore (that made me happy, really happy). After graduating she was going to join an athletic school. She wanted to improve herself, no matter what would happen in the future.
I wasn't sure about what the others would do after the graduation from school. I heard that Nakky and Chinami would get married and live without worrying about money or anything. It was kinda creepy, they would live like indigents...
Suddenly someone tapped my shoulder. It was Maimi.
“I'm going to help them. Go and look for the others, okay? I'll call you later” she whispered to my ear. I nodded my head and made a thumbs up. She smiled and kissed my cheek. “Good luck”
“Thanks, I'll need it” It was true. I would need a lot of luck to look at Chisato without feeling weak.
Maimi waved at me and made her way to the stage.
There was a little stage outside the school. It was in the front of the club. There were a lot of chairs making perfect lines facing the stage, and at the end of the lines, the sofa and the armchair of the club were perfectly placed there. Tanaka and the others were sitting there, and for my surprise Eri was with them, laughing at every silly joke that Risa made.
Oh, you may want to know what will happen with the club after our graduation, right? Well, the ºC-ute club will be now the Shugo Chara Eggs Club. Yes, Maimi decided to share the club with those little girls. Maimi and I were actually their senpais. I wanted Chisato to be their senpai too, but the girls thought that Chisato was someone mean and evil (well, she was like that, and maybe she's like that when she isn't around me...).
And the Berryz club was now going to be the house of Saki and Miyabi. They were going to change a lot of things: they had to add a kitchen, a bathroom with a shower and stuff like that. They wanted to have a 'loft', but I'm not sure about what it means.
“Hey, Kanna” I jumped a little when I heard my name. I turned around and Erika was staying there, smiling sweetly at me.
Erika also changed a lot. Now she had a brain. But seriously, now she was really mature and she knew how to do things correctly. After graduating she was going to start learning about being a model. I knew that she would be successful, she's gorgeous.
“Hey, Erika, how are you?” After saying that, I stared at her clothes with admiration. “Wow, your kimono is incredible!”
She grinned “Really? Thank you. Erina designed it.” she clapped her hands. “We are going to work together. She will design clothes and I'll be her model. It's great, isn't it?”
“Sure! I can't wait to see her collection” I smiled. She patted my head and went to hug me.
“Chisato told me what happened” she whispered to my ear, and then stared at me for a while.
The silence felt uncomfortable, but I wasn't going to say anything because of two reasons: first, I didn't know what to say and second, I didn't want to cry in front of Erika again.
The first time I cried in front of Erika was when Nakky was in the hospital, but the second one was pathetic. Maimi, Erika, Na and I were staying at home, just looking after our dear sister. Maimi went to make a call and Erika told me to take a glass of water for her. I nodded my head and went to the kitchen to take the glass of water. When I was back, I fell and the glass was broken. I made some injures, and my hands ached a lot. And I cried. Na also cried. Maimi came back and saw everything, and laughed until she cried while Erika tried to cheer Na up.
“What?” Erika asked, taking me back to the reality. “Are you going to ask me or not?”
“What do I have to ask?” I cleaned my throat. I couldn't understand why I was acting like I didn't care about Chisato. I do really love her, and I was being an asshole.
“Stop being an idiot, you little” she patted my head “Did you know that she was crying every night until today?”
“...What?” I answered.
“Yes, she did. She cried every night. Nakky and I tried to cheer her up, but it was impossible. She really does love you. She would die if something happens to you.” she explained with a serious tone.
“I love her too, but I don't know what to do. I don't want her to...”
Suddenly, everything inside my mind seemed bright. I finally knew what to do. How can I be that ignorant and idiot? Argh, I hate myself!
“Kanna...? Are you okay? Why are you smiling?” Erika asked and waved her hand in front of my face.
“Nothing. Let's go with the others, okay?” I smiled at her and went to where the others were.
I greeted Miyabi and Saki, and hugged both of them. I told them that their kimonos were great, even thought I didn't like them. I wanted to be nice to them. Then I went up to Airi and also hugged her. She was being in silence, but it was something usual. She went back to her mute self. After smiling at her, I smiled at Yurina, Chinami and Nakky. They told me that my kimono was great and I thanked them and told them the same thing about their clothes. I did the same that I did with Miyabi and Saki: lie.
“And... where is Chisato?” I finally asked. They looked at each other and Erika shook her head.
“She's helping Erina and the others with the scenery” Chinami explained. “You can go and help them, if you want to see her”
“Nah. I 'll see her later” I answered. Erika looked surprised with my answer, but didn't comment anything about it.
We waited for a while and after half an hour, Iida told us to sit on the first line of chairs. We sat down. I was sitting between Erina and Kikkawa. Our teacher went to the stage and began to talk in front of the microphone. Maimi started to shout things like 'SEXYYYY' or 'WE LOVE YOU'.
“Good morning everyone. Thank you for being here” she said politely “I'm Yaguchi Mari, and I'm glad to have been the teacher of the best class of this school” The parents started clapping at that. I turned around and I saw my parents and Na. I waved them and they waved me back. “Seeing how they got mature, I'm kinda sad because they are leaving school today, but anyway, I'm glad...” For a second, I thought that she was going to start crying or something. She sighed and took one of the diplomas. “And now, let's give them their diplomas, starting from the worst but my favourite student Yajima Maimi”
Maimi chuckled and stood up to take her diploma. She bowed her head as she took it and then went up to the microphone. She cleaned her throat and started to speak.
“Well, I'm not good at saying things like that but...” she blushed a little “I...” she looked at Erika and shook her head. “I'll just miss you, you little runts and perverts” She took her diploma and went back to her chair. Damn it, I thought that she was going to ask Erika to get married!
Then Umeda took her diploma too. She seemed more excited than Maimi, and also said something to the audience. I wasn't paying attention since I was wondering where Chisato was, but I heard my name in her monologue.
The next was Momoko. She took the diploma and smiled happily at Yurina. The tallest just bowed her head in satisfaction.
Momoko was going to study interpretation. She seemed sure about it, so nobody discussed it.
Then Chinami went to take her diploma, and began to shout cheerfully.
“YEAH! I FINALLY CAN GET MARRIED WITH NAKKY!”
Then, the mute Airi Suzuki took her diploma and Risako went beside her. They took the diplomas and bowed their heads at the teacher. Risako went up to Airi and kissed her cheek. It seemed that she caught her off guard, since she started blushing.
The next was our dear Captain. After that, I wasn't really paying attention to the ceremony. I was just wondering where Chisato was. A lot of people took their diplomas and finally the teacher said:
“Okai Chisato”
My heart started racing like crazy when I heard her name. I looked around and I saw a girl standing up from her chair. She started to walk up to the stage but when she was in front of me, she stopped.
She was wearing the black kimono I bought for her. I knew it would fit her. She was gorgeous.
She took my hand in hers and gave it a gentle kiss.
“No matter what, you'll continue being mine” she said with my hand still near her lips.
“TREE AND ROMEO FOREVA!” Reina shouted. Everyone laughed at that.
Chisato winked at me and went to take her diploma. After taking it she came up to me and placed a kiss on my lips. Then she smiled and went back to her chair.
After that I wasn't paying attention to the ceremony again. I was in my little own world. I know that a lot of them took their diplomas, and some of them said something to their classmates, but I don't remember anything else.
“And the last one, Arihara Kanna” the teacher said. My classmates started clapping their hand and cheering.
“SEXYYYYY” Maimi shouted.
“Go senpai!” Maeda Yuuka exclaimed.
“ROMEOOOO!” I heard Reina shouted.
I stood up and felt my legs got weak. I looked back at Chisato and winked at her. I turned around and when I was about to start walking up to the stage, I heard:
“Do your best, future lawyer!” Chisato exclaimed. I looked at her and smiled.
Yeah, I was going to study law. Maasa wanted to be a lawyer, so I wanted to be a lawyer for her.
With a smile written in my face, I went to the stage and took my diploma. The teacher bowed her head and let me go to where the microphone was. I approached it and took it in my hand.
“Hi everyone. This is Arihara Kanna, from ºC-ute” I looked at Maimi and winked at her. “and today I wanted to make a confession”
People started whispering and muttering around, and Maimi and Tanaka told them to shut up.
“Well... actually, I want to make two confessions.” I cleaned my throat. “First of all: I would like Maasa Sudou to graduate with us and to know this” I pointed to the sky. Then I bent down and fell on my knees. “Maasa, thank you for everything you've done. I want you to know that I'm going to be lawyer for you”
Maasa Sudou... I hope to see you in heaven.
“And second...” I looked at Chisato and smiled. She smiled back and blushed a little.
It was now or never. This was my last chance
“Chisato, I want you to stay with me here in Tokyo. The story of Romeo and the Tree can't end like that” People started to cheer and clap happily. I closed my eyes, trying my best to concentrate in my words and continued speaking “Just sell your house and come to live with me. Well, I share the bed with Maimi, but Maimi, Erika and I had sleep there a few times. There's space enough for you too. And...”
Before I could continue, I felt someone turning me around and placing lips against mines. People continued cheering and clapping.
“USO!” Risa shouted.
I smiled against Chisato's lips and wrapped my arms around her waist. We stopped to catch our breath. She smiled at me sweetly.
“Are you sure about what you have said?” she asked. I nodded my head.
“Of course” I answered. She hugged me and I heard her laugh.
“You're the best, Romeo” she chuckled a little.
I love “only-girls” academies.
I know what type of people go to this kind schools. All of them are “too good friends” or “the best friends of this world”, or better, “the best friends of the universe!”. Oh, that’s lovely!
I suppose there are a lot of differents rolls in this academy. Maybe one of them is “the sport girl” called Maimi. Another one is the “All-the-day-joking-you girl” called Maasa Sudou. The rest, obviously, will be that type of girls who say “CUTEEE! CUTEEE!” all the time, like Momoko and Yurina. And, why not? In all “only-girls” academies, there’s girl who acts like a boy. A revolting boy-girl who’s always at the office of the director. Yeah, as me in my other school... That's Chisato, the boy-girl who I love.
She's my boy.And that's the end of our years in the academy, but the beginning of something special.
Something special with Maimi, Erika, Na, Momoko, Yurina, Miyabi, Captain and the others.
Something special with the memories of Maasa Sudou.
And something special with Chisato.
And now, everyday when I wake up and I see her there, hugging me, the only thing I can say is:
“Chisa...”
“Hmm?”
“You are my boy”
