The chestnut haired girl rested her head on his shoulders, sighing a sigh of content. The golden yellow streaks of light poured over the limitless ocean blue waters creating a beuatiful scenery. They sat in silence, appreciating each others precence more than the breathtaking sunset. The silence let her mind wander, she liked the silence. Usually, her husband would be bickering with his friends, creating a rukus, but he had somehow matured the moment she had said yes.

The engagement. His eyes had become so intense, burning with the fire he possessed within when he asked the question every girl dreamt about. It was magical.

"Marry me Yanagi?"

Her breath had caught. She was speechless as her eyes began to tear up. The sparkling diamond lay in a velvet box, staring up at her. Somehow, she managed to force out a 'Yes'. She watched the relief flood into him as he lept up and swept her into his strong arms and they shared yet another magical moment as their lips met, fusing in a passionate kiss.



*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Ne Kaoru-chan, there any mail for me?" Fuuko popped her head out of the bathroom. A towel was draped around her neck, the ends were caught up in her hands and were used to ruffle her hair in an attempt to dry her purple locks.

"Aa... there're two," He hesitated and looked at the address, "It's Ganko-chan!" He tossed the first one over to her.

"This one is only adressed to you, doesn't say who it's from." He threw the letter to her and then slumped onto her white leather couch.

"Ganko? Well it's about time. Haven't heard from her in about a year or so..." She ripped off the envelope and read the letter. "Ara... Kaoru-kun... She's coming back this Thursday!" Fuuko stepped out of the bathroom to see the boy she used to look down upon.

Koganei Kaoru. The short little squirt that used to pester her all the time. He'd grown so fast, he was slightly taller than her now. Rugged features, spiky hair and his trademark fanged grin. It was no wonder he was the star of his school. He'd taken after Tokiya in that way, ignoring all his girl fans. She didn't blame him, she'd seen them throw themselves all over her handsome young imouto.

"This Thursday? Such wonderful timing... Recca-niichan won't be coming back till next Friday." He said with a hint of sarcasm. "Where's she gonna stay Fuuko-nee?" He ruffled he hair with one had and yawned. Since Recca and Yanagi left for their honeymoon, he had the whole house to himself, apart from Recca's dad. So everday they met each other and on rare days, they would meet up with Tokiya. The newly married couple were travelling around for a full two weeks for their honeymoon. At the moment, they were most probably in Hawaii.

Fuuko then began to take out the second letter. Inside, a black piece of paper with gold letterings was found. After a reading it, she dropped onto the couch next to Kaoru. Blinking twice, she handed it to the young bishonen and said," Well... it's about time... life's getting quite boring around here anyway..."

Kaoru took the letter and read it. Slowly, but surely, a mischevious and cheeky fanged grin began to spread on his face. His dull and tired eyes sprang to life in an instant. "Yoshi Fuuko-nee..."

"Zetsumei Taikai... Death tournament..." Kaoru scanned the invitation."We have two months to train..."

"Two months!!!" Fuuko interrupted,"We haven't been fighting for years and we only have two months to polish up?!"Fuuko leaned forward to look at the letter.

"That's not all. Says here," He gestured with his finger,"That we need five fighters,no more, no less and Domon's all the way in America... So we're down to the four of us. You, Mikagami, Recca-nii and me." He said, slowly ticking off with his fingers.

"Mou... And I thought this would be my break from this boring life.How are we going to find a replacement for Domon in two months?!" Fuuko sighed in disappointment and slumped back in her couch. She swiped back her purple locks of hair and let out a breath.

"Well... I do miss the feeling of being in a fight but if we can't find a substitute... then there's no chance for us I guess."
