Epilogue

     *** One year after ***

      "Hey, Tensai! I brought a new pack of cat-food for you!"

     Rukawa sat on the sofa and gently stroked a fully grown fuzzy red cat, that was sitting on his laps. The red head of Hanamichi peeked out of the kitchen, observing the living room. Hanamichi smiled, after he noticed Rukawa and the cat.

      Hanamichi approached to the sofa, stopped behind it, then leaned to Rukawa and strained him in his arms. He planted a light kiss on the fox-eyed boy's neck, then demonstrated a video-camera that he rented today.

     "Look, Kaede, what I brought!"

     "What for?" Rukawa asked, stroking the cat's fur lazily.

     Hanamichi smirked, "You'll see."

      He went toward the TV-set, laid the camera on it, and, directing focus at the sofa, pressed the record button. Then the redhead went back to Rukawa and sat down next to him. Pulling the dark-haired boy to himself and throwing his arms around his waist, Hanamichi whispered into his lover's ear.

      "We'll shoot a film about this day. Remember, today is a year since I have brought Tensai to you. We have to celebrate it!"

     Rukawa smirked.

    "Yeah, like usual happy family does."

     With delight, Hanamichi pecked Rukawa at a cheek.

    "Of course! You know you are very lucky to have two Tensais in your home!"

      Rukawa ironically sniffed.

     "I see only one Tensai here," and he pointed at the cat.

      The redhead withdrew resentfully, "And who am I then?!"

     "You're do'aho," Rukawa smiled.

      "Teme, Kitsune!!"

      Hanamichi threw himself at the fox-eyed boy, but unlike of what he would done the last year, he pressed Rukawa with the weight of his body to the sofa, kicking the cat away, and run his hands under the dark-haired boy's shirt. For a second, he turned to the cat and said.

     "Go to the kitchen, Tensai. And don't disturb us for an hour or two... We will be very busy."

     With that Hanamichi attacked Rukawa's mouth, covering his lips with his own and kissing his lover passionately. Rukawa wrapped his arms around the redhead's neck and drew Hanamichi more closely...

     The red cat looked at the men, who were making out on the sofa, and walked out of the room...

     The camera kept on recording...
