Rain fell from the dark sky as a raven haired boy stood on the sidewalk looking into a jewelry store. He had been working up the nerve to come here for three months now and was still contemplating on whether to go in or not.

His mother's voice from their earlier phone conversation a few months ago ran through his mind; "Suck it up already and ask her! She's probably the best thing that's happened to you and she's so CUTE!!… Anyways I want grandchildren, so hurry it up!" Naru nearly sweat dropped at the memory…sheesh his mother was pushy.

Should I go in? Yes, I'm going…no, I'm not…why the HELL is this so hard? Naru growled to himself while trying to decide if he should go in the store or not.

He took a deep breath and walked in. The bells on the door rang as he entered, signaling to the man at the cash register that someone was there.

"May I help you this evening, Sir?" the man asked politely to the dark clad narcissist. Crap, it's to late to turn back now without looking like an idiot.

"Yes…ineedanengagementring," Naru said quickly.

"U-Uhm, I beg your pardon?"

Naru sighed, I can't believe I'm actually doing this. "I...I need an engagement ring," he repeated his earlier statement.

"Right this way, Sir. We have a beautiful selection of gold rings."

"I think white gold will be best. My girlfriend isn't much for plain gold things; she likes the silver look best," Naru said smoothly, starting to regain his composure.

"Ah, I think I have just the one!" the man said while opening a glass case and pulling out one of the rings that had been on display.

The ring had a simple whit gold band. The diamond was just the right size with two smaller diamonds on both sides; not too big but still beautiful.

Naru couldn't help but smirk when he saw the ring. "It's perfect, I'll take it."

"D-Don't you want to know how much it costs? It's pretty pricy," the man asked in shock.

"No need. Please ring it up, I'm in a hurry," Naru told the older man behind the counter and looked at his watch. Ten minutes…She'll be pissed if I'm late, we've been planning this dinner for two months now, the boy mused.

Naru left the store, quickly placing the velvet box in his coat pocket, and got inside his car. He drove off towards his girlfriend's apartment, she was twenty now and he was twenty one.

He arrived at her apartment and went to knock on her door. A few seconds later footsteps could be heard scurrying across her living room.

"Coming!" Mai's voice rang from the other side of the door.

When she opened her door, Naru had to clench his jaw to keep it from falling. She was wearing a dark blue evening gown that came to a low 'v' in the back and had white blossom designs under the bust of the dress.

"Mai, you look ravishing," he whispered in her ear with a smirk.

"You don't look to bad yourself," she smiled back, eyeing his black tuxedo and blue silk handkerchief in his pocket.

"Well considering my natural good looks I'm bound to look at least decent," the boy said teasingly in his narcissist attitude.

"Well come on, the reservation's set for eight thirty and it's already eight twenty. Let's go!" she sang and started pushing her boyfriend down the hall.

They were halfway through their dinner and Naru was trying to work up the nerve to ask the girl to marry him. All right, I just have to get down on one knee and propose, what could happen?

The boy was going down to kneel when a very familiar voice reached their ears.

"Mai, Naru! What are you guys doing here? What a small world!" It was Ayako. She was sitting with her ex-monk of a husband a few tables away.

The other couple moved their plates to the empty table right next to theirs and sat down. Ayako and Mai started chatting and Naru was still halfway kneeling on the ground.

"Oi Naru-bou, what are you doing down there?" Bou-san asked the boy.

"Nothing," Naru growled hiding his death glare behind his bangs.

"Mai! We have exciting news," the miko spoke up again, "We're pregnant!"

Mai's face lit up and she grabbed Ayako into a bear hug. "Congratulations you two! I just know you guys are going to make excellent parents!" she exclaimed and pulled Takigawa in to a hug as well. "Isn't it exciting Naru?"

"I can hardly keep my excitement down," he replied in a dead tone, still glaring at the two who had interrupted his proposal.

"Naru!" Mai hissed.

Bou-san laughed, knowing all too well why the boy was so angry. "Don't worry Mai! We just wanted to let you know the news, let's go dear," he said while turning towards his wife and winking.

Ayako looked confused for a second then noticed what Naru was going to do when they interrupted earlier. "Oh! Yeah, bye Mai-chan, Naru! And Mai, call me later okay?" the woman asked with a grin.

Mai just stared at the married couple as they walked away. Hmm, that was weird. Oh well, I'm happy they are going to be parents. I'm going to spoil their baby so much kukukuku.

The girl turned her attention back to Naru. The sight of him kneeling on the floor shocked her.

"N-Naru…" she whispered.

The raven haired boy took a black velvet box out of his pocket and opened it, revealing a white gold engagement ring.

"Taniyama Mai, will you marry me?" he asked her in a smooth, caring tone and slipped the ring on her left hand.

Mai stared for a second before smiling as brightly as she could. "OF COURSE!!" she yelled and jumped on the boy, knocking them both to the ground in a 'thump,' and kissed him deeply.

(When Ayako and Bou-san were leaving)

The two started walking away from the other couple with knowing smiles on their faces.

"So Naru finally sucked it up and is proposing eh?" Bou-san said.

They were a few feet away from the exit when something to their right caught their attention. A very familiar someone was crouching behind one of the potted plants with a camera in hand, aiming it towards Naru and Mai's table. The 'someone' was none other than Naru's mother, Luella Davis.

"L-Luella-san? What are you doing here?" Ayako asked in shock. "I thought you were still in England!"

Luella turned to Takigawa and Ayako like a deer caught in the headlights of a car.

"Shhh! He's about to propose!" the red headed woman shushed and turned back to her son and soon-to-be daughter-in-law.

She held the camera in position and started snapping pictures like crazy once Naru asked the question a few tables away.

"OF COURSE!!" Mai's Voice could be heard followed by a soft 'thud' as the two newly engaged couple fell to the ground.

Luella stood up after a few more pictures and dusted her dress suit off. She turned to Ayako and Bou-san again and smiled brightly and pumped a fist up into the air. "Yosh! Okay, what were you saying earlier?"

The other two just sweat dropped but quickly regained composure.

"I was wondering why you were here and not in England," Ayako repeated.

"Oh, well…Martin and I decided to check up on our son and when we stopped by the office Lin told us he was taking Mai out to eat. I figured since he usually doesn't take her out to eat all that often then it must mean that he was finally going to propose like I've been bugging him to do for nearly six months. Anyways, I asked Lin where my son was taking her and he told me the boy was taking her here so I did what any normal parent would do and I went and bought some cameras so I could spy on them and photograph this memorable event!" the woman finished proudly, taking in a long breath.

Bou-san and his wife nearly face-planted when the other woman was finished with her story. Normal parents don't spy on their kids from behind potted plants, especially not when their son is proposing, the two thought in unison.

Suddenly a tall man ran up beside Luella. "Did I miss it?" the man asked.

"Yup! Jeeze Martin, I told you to go to the bathroom before we left, but nooooo you didn't want to listen to me, your own wife!" Luella scolded the man.

"Come on Lu, I already missed him propose, you don't have to rub it in my face," the older man whined.

"Hmpf…fine! Anyway, I took pictures so it's okay, and…"she paused a second as she reached into the bush and pulled out a camcorder, "I filmed it as well so we can watch it later!" she finished in excitement.

"You're the best wife EVER!" Martin yelled and pulled his wife into a hug. "Let's go watch it!"

"Okay!"

The older couple started running out the door but Luella paused for and turned around, "Oh and don't worry I caught the scene of you two telling Mai you're pregnant on film too so we have two memorable events on one tape! I'm so excited!"

With that the couple ran out of the restaurant to go watch the film.

Bou-san just turned to Ayako and sighed, "Well, tonight was a night full of memories."

Ayako laughed in agreement and followed her husband out of the restaurant to go home.

Meanwhile, Mai and Naru were still on the ground in a lip lock, gaining many stares from the eating customers around them.
