Chapter 59 The past

Zero and Yuki are on the Dance floor in each other's arms. No one else seems to matter. They just stare into each other eyes. Happy to be together, to share all these wonderful moments together.

"You look even better than I thought you would in this tux." Yuki states. "Thank you. You are still going to take it off of me piece by piece right?" Zero asks with a grin. "Of course. Now you just having something to take off of me as well." Yuki replies. "I will with great pleasure." Zero states.

When the dance is over Yuki goes up to the bar, wanting to get a drink. Finding Hanabusa there. She sits right next to him, without him even noticing who she is. Which makes her know she did a great job hiding who she really is. Her appearance is totally different. No one ever suspecting who she is she.

"Hanabusa." She whispers in his ear.

He turns to look at her, still not knowing who she is. A little baffled.

"May I help you?" Hanabusa asks. "You already have, more than you will ever know. My dear friend." Yuki answers.

Hanabusa just stares at her. Not sure if what he thinks is true.

"My god, is that you?" Hanabusa asks. "Yes, it's me. I know the blonde hair and blue eyes make me look different. Huh?" Yuki says. "God it sure does. How are you?" Hanabusa asks getting up and hugging her tightly. "I'm great and you?" Yuki says. "I heard you had twins? I'm great as well. I am married and have a son." Hanabusa asks. "Yes. We did. They are six now. Congratulations. I am so glad you have your own life now." Yuki replies. "I also heard they look just like Kiryu. So I guess he didn't have anything to worry about after all? Yes, I am not longer always up Kaname's behind. I have made a life for myself. There is nothing at the Mansion for me now anyway. That time has passed." Hanabusa states.

Yuki just looks at him, with sad eyes. Not really knowing how to answer that.

"What's wrong?" Hanabusa asks. "Ichiru is the split image of him. Ren has our family's eyes. I am glad you are free, from him as well."Yuki says.

Trying not to mention Kaname so no one would overhear. If they did they would think nothing of it.

"Oh, How is that possible?" Hanabusa asks. Knowing what she means. "I am not sure. I just know it happened."Yuki answers. "He is ok with it?" Hanabusa asks. "He doesn't know,"Yuki responds. "Oh wow. That is a lot. Not sure you could hide that for long." Hanabusa admits. "I know. We will see when the time comes." Yuki says. Grabbing her drink from the bartender.

"How is your friend and his daughter?" Yuki asks. "He is doing the best he could. Still not himself. His daughter is gorgeous. Is a combo of him and his late wife. She is smart and fierce. Not to mention, Daddy's girl. He doesn't leave her side much. They have gotten very close." Hanabusa comments. "Thats great. I thought she would be all those things and more. Does she ever talk about her late mother?" Yuki asks. "No, She is pretty upset with her, with what she has done. She feels she left her. She holds it against her. " Hanabusa confesses. "Is that her fathers doing?" Yuki asks. "No. He only says good things about his late wife. He loved her very much. The child is just going through some things of her own. I am sure she will be fine." Hanabusa remarks. "I hope so. Her late mother would never want her hurt." Yuki answers sadly. "I know that. She is young, she doesn't understand. Plus she loves her father dearly. She could never see him as a bad guy. She is just as obsessed with him as I was. He could do no wrong. I know his late wife could say, otherwise on some things. But all in all, he is a good man. Maybe just too overprotective. He has changed a lot, since her death. I believe if it wasn't for his daughter, he would have put himself to sleep again. He is broken." Hanabusa admits. "There are some regrets we can't fix. We can't go back in time and change things we have done. Just live with the choices we have made and hope for the best." Yuki replies. "As long as you are happy now that is all that matters. It makes it all worth it." Hanabusa answers. "Happier than I ever have been," Yuki responds. "Thats all that matters."

Yuki sat there and thought. "Does it? I am happy but at what expense? My daughter and Kaname? She was glad to know Ai was growing up, being smart and put together. At the same time, it hurt her to know she hated her for leaving. It didn't make her feel any better knowing that Kaname was still suffering. Its been six years, she was hoping that he would be past it by now. That he would have moved on. She wished him nothing but happiness. She did love him, just in a different way then she loved Zero.
