Love Resigned( Final Chapter)

Aki-Sora:
Love Resigned

Chapter Ten:
The Rain of Stars

Part Three


The rain had continued to come down for the rest of the week and it appeared as though it would flood the entirety of Japan.  However to Aki and Sora, it felt as if their ancestors and whatever supreme being that watched over them all were crying in their happiness as the two of them spent their renewed companionship in one another's arms as much as possible.  This unspoken belief between the two lovers remained until the following weekend when Sora had his head resting in her lap as they shared their deceased mother's bed.

"I wish that I could openly propose marriage to you.  And that you would be able to give me that much greater amount of bliss.  I have come to understand what that man that you call our 'father' meant back then.  I can never put you into that situation, but I do need you to be with me forever."  He said as he watched her through half-closed eyelids.He watched for how she would react to such desires from his very heart.  What he got was one of the biggest surprises that he had since he had awakened within their home town.

Tears began to stream down from her face and upon his face as she began to smile at his words.  Her soft hand continued to stroke his hair.  "I had, always, hoped that you would say that to me.  If you would propose to me, I would say yes to you in a heartbeat.  Mother and I were wrong to not tell you and father the truth about us.  I am your blood sister, but I have a different surname to allow us to have our marriage ceremony."

He sat up and looked at her with widened eyes.  "What do you mean?  And tell me everything."

She nodded at his harsh words and began the story from the day of their births to the moment that the she and her younger twin siblings came to live with one another.  She had, also, explained about her stepfather and her being given his surname to allow her to live as normal a life as possible.  She looked sad as she spoke of her stepfather and how he had died to heart cancer.  After his burial, the two of them had begun to use her original surname.  The family registry, still, contained her changed surname.  This was all thanks to her mother's planning and consideration of her daughter and one of the other siblings continuing in their parents' footsteps and having an incest relationship.  This fact alone would allow them to live as happily as possible and to marry.

Sora had felt conflicting emotions as he heard the entire story.  He could not believe that since he and Nami were lied to by these two women that they were supposed to have trusted with their lives.  And yet without their lies, they would not have been a family.  It would not have, also, been possible for he and his most precious Aki-chan to have had their relationship.

In the end, there was only one thing that he could say.  "Will you marry me, my precious darling?"

Aki did as she said and, immediately, told him that she would.  The two of them were in each other's arms and kissing one another in a matter of moments.
