Japanese lesson
Okaa-san - Mother
:]
Kyo looked through the glass windows of the jewelry store and examined the sparkling diamond rings that shined so brightly on display. He stared at them for a moment longer before walking into the jewelry store.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile at Tohru's dormroom...
Uo and Hana were sitting in Tohru's room with smiles pasted on their faces as they were ready to tell her the great news that they had in store for her. Uo could barely contain her excitement as she bounced on her bed and said,
"Guess what,"
Tohru gave both of them a questionable stare and then asked,
"What is it?"
Uo and Hana looked at each other from across the room with laughter in their eyes, and then Hana spoke up,
"We found a date for you."
Tohru's head fell to the soft cushions of the bed when she thought about another blind date. Tohru flushed a royal color of red and said in a stuttery voice,
"Um....I-I'm not so sure about this..."
Uo clapped her hands together and went down on her knees, with her hands still clasped together as if she were praying. She then begged,
"Oh please Tohru-chan, it'd mean so much to us if you went! Please go? We want to see you happy."
Tohru bit her bottom lip and looked up at their pleading faces. She sighed because she knew that there was no way she could ever refuse,
"Fine, I'll go... but what is this guy's name?"
Uo and Hana smirked at each other and said together,
"It's a secret."
Uo and Hana giggled and then told her to trust them and meet him at the lake tonight at 8pm. When they both left her room she sighed and closed her heavy eyelids.
*Will I ever see you?*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tohru walked down the silver pavement under the pale moonlight and stopped when she got to the sparkling lake. She saw a shadowy figure leaning against the tree and opened her mouth to say hello. However, when she saw the glimpse of the orange scarf and fire colored hair, she lost her words and just gawked at the shadowy back leaning against the oak tree. A familiar face turned around and smirked at her when he heard a small gasp behind him. She put her hands over her mouth from all the shock that she was experiencing.
"Oy..."
he said casually, raising a hand in the air. Tohru felt tears fill her eyes as her mouth opened and closed from all the emotions. One tear escaped her eyelid and slid down her milk white face as she lunged into his arms. The heat of his body coursed through her body and she held onto him for more than a few seconds, realizing that he had really gotten rid of the curse. She could feel the heat of his body and she could hear his heart beat faster and faster...
*H-He's not changing!!*
She looked up at his face and asked breathlessly,
"Is this a dream?"
Kyo smiled and stroked her hair gently then said,
"If it is, don't pinch me."
She smiled at him and lay her head back on top of his chest, breathing in the scent of Kyo. She then asked,
"But how?"
Kyo closed his eyes and stroked her chestnut strands gently,
"It's a long story...but all that matters right now is that I'm here with you and that the curse is now gone... forever."
She closed her eyes and cried in his chest from all the joy and excitement that she was now feeling. He reached his hand into his back pocket and took out a velvet red box and whispered,
"I have something for you."
Tohru's eyes widened in surprise and she got out of the embrace to look him straight in the eyes.
"What is it?"
He held out a velvet box and blushed furiously as her ocean colored eyes sparkled with pure excitement.
"Kyo-kun...you didn't have to,"
Kyo's face was now completely red as he went down on one knee. Tohru felt every part of her body freeze as she saw him go down on one knee. She gasped and felt more tears drop down. Time froze.
"Will... you marry me?!"
Kyo held out the ring bashfully and her eyes were as wide as saucers as she saw the sparkling diamond ring before her.
"......."
Fresh tears sparkled in her eyes and she cried out happily.
"Yes! Yes i will!"
Tohru bent down and hugged him before he could place the ring on her finger. Her joy was going overload when she thought of being his bride.
*Okaa-san.... I'm getting married!*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The music from the violin fluttered through the garden. Kyo was standing at the altar with the priest and the whole Sohma family, including Uo and Hana, were standing on the aisle with happy faces. Tohru took a deep breath and walked slowly down the aisle with a beautiful, flowing white dress with satin sequins on the seams. She held a bouquet of pink tulips in her hands as she walked happily down the aisle on her wedding day. She couldn't stop smiling at the man that was watching her every step and every moment as she drew slowly closer to him. He smiled and thought to himself,
*She's so beautiful...I think I'm the luckiest man alive.*
Tohru looked around and saw Shigure give her the thumbs up, and she saw Yuki give her a soft smile that made her smile back. She then caught Kagura's eye and saw that she was smiling too...Tohru felt her grin widen as she finally reached the altar and looked up at the sky, smiling up at one more person.
*Okaa - san, this is the most special moment of my life, I hope you're watching up there in heaven...*
