The sun was setting and the wind that blew was warm and as it caressed my visage. I stood at the bottom of the stairs that led toward the courtyard looking at the scenery that with so much dedication I've created. The air brings the scent of the white lilies that adorn the courtyard to my nose, and I inhaled deeply welcoming the intoxicating aroma. White lilies are her favorite. I've been planning this moment for weeks now and I want everything to be perfect.

"She merits perfection."

As the sky begins to darken the hundreds of candles that decorate the terrace seem to come alive and like tiny fireflies they illuminate the night. In the center of the veranda is a table set for two, a single red rose stands proud in the center vase, accompanied by a lit candle on each side. Red is my favorite color, but in this occasion I chose the red rose as a symbol of my everlasting passion.

Renting the entire courtyard of The Midnight Moon, the restaurant where we celebrated our two year anniversary, was not an easy feat but I am glad I did. It was a bit pricey but Kagome is worth it. Keh, just to see a smile lighten her features I would travel to the moon itself. Tonight I decided to wear a long white sleeve shirt, black Dickies pants with suspenders. My hair is loose and flows down my back, just the way I know she likes.

"Tonight I will make you fall in love with me all over again. But unlike the times before I'm not going to tell you how much I love you. No. Tonight I will surrender my heart."

I knew from the very first time I fixed my sight on her that met my match. As I close my eyes the memory floods my mind

*Flash Back*.

I had been there accompanying my close friend Miroku, who had just had a dreadful argument with his fiancé. I figured that a couple of drinks would calm Miroku down.

I showed up at Miroku's apartment dressed casually in khakis and a short sleeve polo shirt. My buddy answered the door in sweat pants "Looks like you've been to hell and back." I practically had to force him to put on some decent clothes so we could leave. Once Miroku was presentable I dragged his unhappy ass to a near by bar. The slow playing jazz music seemed to sooth him; well the three shots of tequila might have helped too. After hours of persuasion I had finally got him to call Sango and apologize for what he had said that had pissed her off, and after a close to thirty minute conversation she had agreed to meet us at our present location.

"Who is that?" I had never seen someone as radiant as the lovely being that had just entered the bar.

"Um… I think her name is Higurashi. Higurashi Kagome I believe. She's a close friend of Sango's; I've only seen her a few times though."

The person in question was walking with Sango and when she smiled I lost my breath. Her beauty was undeniable, her skin was sun kissed with eyes like ten thousand leagues of deep blue water standing still beneath the quiet moonlight. Her lips were tender and delicate like the soft lining of a peach and just the sight of them made me fight the urge to taste them. She was wearing a navy blue Rivendell silk dress, the stonewashed silk charmeuse showed off her neckline. It shaped her beautifully, the high-waisted bodice pleaded skirt drew attention to her petite body … That was the day I fell in love. Everything about her was perfect, and the more I go to know her the more I was convinced that she was the one for me.

*End Flash Back*

The soft sound of steps brings me back to reality. Without having to open my eyes I know it's my Kagome, her aroma is always of jasmines. As amber collides with cobalt, time seems to hold still.

Kagome stands infront of me like a vison from one of my dreams. She is wearing the white prima cotton lacemaker dress that I gave her for her birthday. The dress accentuates the slight curves of her body. Midnight culrs lightly shift in the wind and in the candle light make her look almost enchanted. The moon light seems to find all the right angles on her face, she smiles and I have never found her more beautiful. I stretch out my hand.

"Hold your breath."

A/N: Ok that's it for chapter one. I know it's short but chapter two will be up asap. Please as always R&R.
