Chapter 2 – The search begins

The great hall was located on a mountain. No one knew exactly where, except for them who was there. It was built in stone and inside, the walls was lined by great pillars.

The ten old men where sitting in a circle in the middle of the great building.. They all were listening to an old woman, which was also sitting in the ring.

"All we now need is to confirm that it's true."

One of the men answered.

"Is it really true that she can be one of the clan?"

"Like I said, we need to confirm it."

"But it will be difficult. The Mibus will not let this go if they got to know..."

They discussed for a time. They all were dressed in beautiful clothes and all of them had a symbol on the left arm. The symbol was a planet with a circle around it.

All of them were part of an old clan which was hidden from the world, just like the Mibus. And they were their enemies.

"I will absolutely not tolerate the Mibus to have the upper power any longer!"

"Me neither!"

"Now, calm down, gentlemen!"

All the men turned silent and looked at the old lady.

"Information has reached my ears that the one True Mibu, Onime no Kyo is still alive and somehow he is in the way of this project."

The men immediately begun to discuss nervously.

"We can absolutely not have him hanging around!"

"He is way to powerful!"

"A true demon!"

"Silence!"

They all turned silence again and the old woman stood up.

"Gentlemen, I will handle the matter with the demon. Actually, I have just the right person for the job."

As she said it she reached her hands to one of the corners in the dark room. Out of the black stepped a woman. All the men stared. Nobody had noticed her.

She was tall and had great profiles. Her long red hair were floating around her as a cape.

She walked to the middle och the circle the men was forming. The old woman now smiled.

"I will leave Onime no Kyo to you. We are all counting on you."

The men stared. One was to break the silence.

"How could this woman possibly be able to stop the demon? Attract him? Don't be stupid!"

The younger woman turned around and looked straight to him. He was shut silent. He stared at her, fear coming out of his eyes. He felt how he became paralyzed as he felt her aura shot at him.

Her voice was deep and filled with an inner power.

"If I was you, I would be quiet and leave the matters to the strong ones."

She walked around in the circle. Everyone was following her every step. They were all impressed.

At last she stood in front of the old lady again.

"I will take care of the little Rat. And I don't want any interfere from none of you."

The old woman smiled.

"As you wish. This will be in your hands."

The young woman nodded and with no more word she walked out from the hall. Everyone was quiet. The one who broke the silence was shaking as he said it.

"If such a woman exist, then we better keep her in good mood with us."

The old woman was still smiling.

"Oh, don't worry about that! I know exactly what she wants. As long as I can give her that, she will fight for us."

Outside the woman walked down the mountain, which the great halls building where located.

Her hair catch the breeze which came from the sea.

She smiled to herself.

"So we finally meet again, Kyo..."

XxXxX

"Kyo! Hurry up or we'll be to late!"

Yuya's voice woke Kyo up from his thoughts. It had felt like someone had been talking about him. However, that didn't matter for now.

He realized that Yuya was pretty far ahead. He immediately hurried his steps until he was walking beside her again.

Yuya looked at him, curious. He was acting a little strange, didn't he? But yesterday he had really been acting different. She still blushed by the memory, but the embarrassment was soon replaced with happiness.

She began to sing on that melody again. Kyo realized that he listened to her voice with all his concentration. He liked her voice. Her steps were full of energy and she almost danced forward.

Today she wore a longer kimono, which she only did for special occasions. It was in a deep orange color and it was patterned with sakura flowers in beige. The obi was in the same beige color and her hair was put up on the back of her head. On her feet she had white tabi and simple zori in a dark wood.

She was very beautiful, dressed like that.

Kyo on the other hand, wasn't that formal. He wore a dark gray kimono, with a yin yang symbol at the back. He also wore a coat in a dark brown color, over his shoulders. His hair were hanging down over his back.

They headed to the town cause of the great festival. It was to celebrate that spring was coming. When Yuya was asked by Kyoshiro and Sakuya, she had been looking forward to this. She had no idea what Kyo thought about it. But he had agreed on coming to, so she guessed it was alright.

If he kept his low profile, none would recognize him as 'the killer of a thousand men'.

They could see the roofs of the buildings in the town. They could hear voices and the sound of many people. Yuya felt how she became more and more excited. She had always loved festivals. They gave her precious memories.

She remembered when she was on festivals as a little girl. She was together with her older brother. Those memories made her happy and she treasured them. They were among the best memories of her now dead brother.

She looked back. Kyo was right behind her. She smiled to herself.

Of course! Today was Kyo there as well!

Last year, he wasn't with her. Some bountyhunters had entered the town and he seemed to be troubled by that so he stayed out of the town. She later heard that it was to protect her. When she heard that she wanted to cry, her feelings for the demon once again became stronger (even though they already were strong as hell).

She already planned to make this day to one of her precious memories as well.

They entered the village and many men got their eyes on her. Yuya didn't know if it was just her imagination but Kyo seemed to hold himself very close to her with his hand resting on Tenrou. Like he wanted to protect her. She decided to not think about that to much but instead enjoy the festival, even if she deep inside hoped for that.

She remembered the night once again. Kyo had really showed her his inmost side.

The memory (once again) made her blush a little as they walked deeper into town. Unfortunately that made her look even more attractive than she already did, so men stared even more at her. However, nobody even dared to get close, cause just behind her walked a tall samurai which looked really terrifying (Kyo, of course). She didn't seem to mind it but he scared everyone else.

"Kyoshiro! Sakuya-san!"

Yuya happily waved against the two people. They stood at the side of the street, safe from all the people that was passing by.

"Yuya-san! Kyo!"

One of the two people, a man waved at them, with a big smile.

He had short black hair (and on top of it, a single little hair string stood right up in a ridiculous manner). He wore a white kimono.

This was the body which Kyo had been prisoner in for about five years ago. But now, the body was controlled by it's original owner.

His eyes were blue and they were the kindest eyes anyone could see.

Kyoshiro jumped and hugged Yuya friendly as the both laughed. Then he turned to Kyo.

"I'm so glad that you came to, Kyo!"

"Kyoshiro..."

Kyoshiro smiled at the man. This was Kyo's way of greeting him. Kyo also smiled at his friend.

"Sakuya-san!"

Yuya hugged the woman that was standing behind Kyoshiro.

"How are you?"

"Yuya-san! I'm fine! What about you?"

"Never been better!"

The two friends smiled at each other.

Sakuya was a very beautiful woman with long black hair. Her eyes were brown and soft. She wore a pink kimono and over it she had a white michiyuki with beautiful golden details.

Sakuya was a shaman, one of the most powerful. She could see and foretold the future. Once both Kyoshiro and Kyo had been in love with her, however Kyoshiro was the one that Sakuya had chosen.

Now Kyo saw Sakuya as a close friend instead. His love for Yuya was now stronger than his love for Sakuya could ever be.

They talked about themselves and what they were expecting for today. Kyo was most of the time silent. He stood behind Yuya and looked gloomy so no one dared to get close to the blonde woman. Both Kyoshiro and Sakuya recognized this. The smiled at each other and agreed not to mention it, Kyo would just be pissed of.

Yuya smiled to. Now Kyo acted like he always did when they was with other people. He acted silent, rude and he had a very gloomy face.

Two young men walked past a little group. One of the men got his eyes on a blonde woman. She was talking to some other people.

"Hey, look! That blonde woman! What a pretty babe!"

"Wow, you're right!"

They discussed with each other, pretty sure that no one in the little group couldn't hear them (but we know that one does, right? ^^).

"Shall we ask her to come with us!"

"Yeah! I wouldn't mind to have such a babe in my hands!"

"Right! I'll just ask-"

The men was cut silent as one in the group, a tall samurai with an impressive long sword, moved himself in front of the woman, as a shield. He then looked straight at the two men.

Red eyes was glaring at them. Both men got paralyzed in fear as they stared at the demon, which without doubt had heard them and now was protecting the blonde woman.

Then they both came to their senses and they ran away, as quick as their legs cold bear them.

xxx

"Kyo?"

Yuya looked back at the tall man. He seemed to glare at something behind them. Then he turned around and looked at her with curious eyes. Maybe it was just her imagination.

Kyo was a mysterious man, even for her, who knew him the best. Trying figure out his nature would just end up in a headache.

His voice was low.

"What?"

"We just discussed to go to the sakura trees at the end of the town. Would you like to follow?"

He gave her a look, that very clearly said "Of course! I'll protect you!".

"Well then. Let's go!"

Yuya and Sakuya took the lead. Kyoshiro walked soon behind them.

"Yuya!", he whispered.

"Hm? What is it, Kyoshiro?"

"How could you know Kyo's answer? Do you two communicate by reading minds?", he hadn't catch Kyo's silent gesture.

"Well... I saw his eyes. They say more than his words sometimes!"

Kyoshiro stared at her back. He was impressed. He had known Kyo for a long time, even shared a body with him.

Still, Yuya understood the gloomy man better than him.

Never that Kyoshiro could read those red eyes!

Sakuya giggled silently. Behind them walked Kyo. He didn't know what they whispered about but it was absolutely about him.

A vein popped up on his head as he glared at Kyoshiro, which immediately hid behind his blonde. Yuya and Sakuya laughed at the two men. Their friendship was extremely childish and it was very entertaining.

"What now Kyo? You act like a three years old!"

People that passed stared at the group. Kyoshiro was now hiding behind Sakuya. Yuya was trying to stop the red haired samurai to draw his sword. He had many big veins on his head and his eyes was shadowed. The women laughed and Kyoshiro was crying (animestyle, you know).

"Haha! Kyo, take it easy! We're on a street, remember!"

Yuya hugged him as she laughed. Kyo let go of his anger and putted Tenrou back in his sheath.

He didn't try to draw his sword again but was still glaring at Kyoshiro, which whom was now taken the lead as the group passed through the town. He knew that Kyo wouldn't leave Yuya's back, so he was safe in the lead.

Inside Kyoshiro felt a great happiness for the both of them. He was glad that Kyo had finally found someone he could put his trust in. The better was that the person was Yuya.

Sakuya smiled to herself. She was also thinking that. She took Kyoshiro's hand as they walked. He smiled at her.

Behind them walked the pretty outstanding couple aka the samurai and the waitress.

Yuya hugged Kyo's arm and chatted happily with him. Kyo remained silent.

Kyoshiro was happy for them. However, how they could manage to stand each other when their personalities was so different was a riddle that Kyoshiro never figured out.

XxXxX

The sun stood high. The deep forest was a great sea of green in the shadow of the mountains that covered the horizon. In this big forest was the call of a young woman.

"Hotaruuuu! Where are you? HOTARUUU!"

At the same time, the man, which who's name was called, was walking somewhere in this forest as well. However, he didn't hear the woman.

Hotaru walked over some trees that laid on the ground, probably turned down by a storm. The blonde mans hair was long enough to keep it in a braid on his back. His eyes had a golden color. His clothes was a little dirty; red pants and a red shirt under his white happi. On the sleeves was a red Yin Yang symbol. He was wearing a coat in a yellow color. The coat was of Chinese design and was beautifully decorated with strings in different colors. He walked in strange 'one-tooth' getas. They were also red and they had a big hole on the teeth.

In his belt he had a sword of unique design. It was the blade of a katana, then the blade turned into the handle and then it turned into a knife.

The man looked around.

You have heard of Hotaru right? The stupid Hotaru who is extremely simpleminded and people wonder if he has a brain?

Well, here he is!

Completely lost.

"I wonder where Hikari disappeared to..."

He continued to walk. A couple of hours later, he was still walking.

"Hikari! Hello? It's me, Hotaru! Where are you? Hikari!"

Hotaru didn't sound very spirited in the search of his lost traveling companion. But that was his nature. He didn't think to much.

"Hikari! Hello? Hikari! Hika-"

KABAFF

The man were sent flying as the woman kicked him in the face. He landed hard on the ground. He looked up with a shocked expression on his face.

"Hikari! There you are!"

The woman that looked down on him was dressed almost the same. She had brown pants and a white happi without sleeves. Her long dark brown hair was tied up in a high horsetail.

And her eyes was in the same green color as the forest.

"There you are? There you are? What kind of question is that?"

"But you suddenly disappeared..."

"I DIDN'T DISAPPEARED! IT WAS YOU WHO GOT LOST!" She shook him violently.

"Now we are to late! I really hoped to be in that town on that festival! It sounded so fun!"

"But we will still arrive at the town, right?"

"Yeah. AFTER THE FESTIVAL, YOU NO-BRAIN IDIOT!"

She hit him hard on the head. Then she sat down on the ground and sighed.

"I can't believe that I'm traveling with this idiot!", she said with a very depressed voice along with tears (hooray for animestyle).

"But it was you that insisted to..."

She blushed. She raised her head wit an angry look on her face.

"IDIOT!"

"What?"

"YOU... AH, forget it!"

She got up and marched away a few meters. Hotaru was following her with his eyes. He smiled. She was really cute when she blushed like that.

Hikari sat down again, with her back against Hotaru. She was still blushing. But he was right. When he left the village where they had met, she begged him to come with him.

They were both reaching for the one goal, to be stronger.

A woman that fought wasn't very popular where she came from, but Hotaru didn't care about that fact. And she liked his unique personality.

And Hotaru had begun to like the very high spirited and childish woman. She was not like any other person he had met.

They were rivals, they were travel companions and they were great friends. Even if they only had known each other for about a year, the bond between them was very strong and they couldn't be separated. And later on they had both realized that their feelings towards each other was a little stronger than friendship.

As a couple they had the strangest and also the most crazy relationship ever. It was mostly about her screaming at him and hitting him.

But that was just the way it was. It was their way of a relation.

It was afternoon. They where pretty far from the town. Hikari was still a little sad that she couldn't make it to the festival.

Hotaru walked to her. He put his hand on her shoulder.

"Hikari. I'm sorry."

"Idiot."

"We better get going."

"Sure."

Well, even if he never appeared like it, Hotaru actually was very thoughtful. Well, at least to Hikari.

He helped her up. She looked up to him. Her height wasn't so much smaller than his, but since he had such weird shoes and she had simple sandals, the difference in height became pretty wide.

She smiled.

"Hotaru! Thank you!"

"For what?"

"Even if we don't make it in time, you still try for me. Thank you! You are really sweet sometimes!"

"I just want to meet Kyo."

"…"

"Hikari?"

It was a very peaceful picture. The deep forest was nothing but a big green sea in the shadow of the mountain.

Then, some birds were flying up in panic as a big 'crasching' sound was heard, along with angry screams.

XxXxX

The woman stood right in front of an old information board. She was reading an old wanted-poster, which was almost falling apart of its' age.

It was about Onime no Kyo.

The woman sighed.

"This just makes it boring. Search for him yourself, lazy bastards."

She turned around and walked down the road again. She knew that she was close. He was here somewhere.

She would finally face him again. And when she did, she was going to give him hell.

Onime no Kyo, she would make him tremble in fear, just like she did many years ago.

XxXxX

"So beautiful!"

"Aren't they?"

Yuya was stunned by the beauty of the pink flowers that covered the trees. They where standing on a hill, which was covered in cherry blossoms.

"Oh, I've missed this so much!"

Sakuya stretched up her hands up against the mighty tops. Yuya smiled at her friend. She looked so happy.

Kyoshiro walked forward to her.

"Happy now?"

Sakuya smiled to him.

"Very happy!"

They took each other hands and then just stood and looked at the beauty.

Yuya was happy for them. She also looked up. She felt her heart beat a little faster. It was under a cherry blossom that she had heard Kyo say "I Love you" for the first time. It was under a cherry blossom tree that her life had turned into a heaven.

xxx

Yuya sighed. She had awoken again. She couldn't sleep!

But how easy was that when Kyo had returned? She was to happy to sleep. To relieved. She had believed that he was still alive and that he would return. And so he had. Many in the group had met up, all happy for Kyo's return. Now, they were staying at an inn.

Yuya wondered what would happen now. She wanted to be with Kyo! But she didn't know what he wanted, and that made her nervous and afraid. What if he didn't want to?

She decided to take a walk to clear her mind.

She had a simple white yukata and only took a gray cape over her shoulders. It wasn't that cold.

She silently stepped outside, not to wake up Sakuya and Mahiro that were sleeping in the same room.

Outside the air was refreshing. She took deep breaths. She began to walk and let her thought travel free in her head. All of them was on the tall red haired samurai. He was back! He had come back to her! To all of them!

She saw a grove of cherry blossom trees over the stonewall and decided to go there. She walked past the stone arch and the pond which was before the trees. She stopped in front of the little grove and looked up. She sighed at the pink beauty. Then, suddenly, she realized that she wasn't alone.

She flinched in panic and when she was who the person was, her heart almost stopped. And she stared.

Onime no Kyo stood against one of the trees and looked straight at her. His arms were crossed over his chest. He had that black kimono and his hair flew around him in the cold night breeze.

She lost her breath.

The whole picture... it was... he was...

Beautiful.

It was so beautiful that she couldn't breath. He looked perfect. To perfect. She had always knew and thought that he was handsome. But not this perfect.

Then she felt like she wanted to touch him.

She took one step, afraid to break apart the beautiful picture. Another step. And a third. She walked forward, not taking her eyes off him. He followed her every step.

Then she was only one step from him. She didn't move. She just looked up at the demon. His eyes were shining in that red color. She didn't want to close her eyes, afraid that in the next instant she opened them, the demon would be gone.

Then he suddenly moved. He lifted his hand and gently stroke it over her cheek.

She didn't even dare to move. He stroked his hand down her cheek and over her lips. Then he broke the silent.

"Yuya..." His voice was low.

She didn't know what to do. And then tears came up from her eyes. She couldn't stop them. Without thinking she tackled him in a hug and held him as tight as she could.

She didn't want to be apart of him anymore. She had waited for three years, three painful years. Now he was here and she never wanted to let go.

He didn't move. He just stood there and let her cry in his kimono as she held him tight. She cried out all her pain that she had been holding. All pain that she had gathered after the final fight against Aka no Ou. All her pain of losing her most precious and most important person. All the pain along with the relieving of him being alive.

She didn't know how long she cried, but it felt like an eternity. Her big cries turned into weak sobs. Kyo talked again, with the same low voice.

"Yuya, you have grown up..."

She slowly loosened her grip around him and took a step back. She looked up at him. He was smiling, a smile containing sadness, happiness, relieves... any emotion Yuya could think of.

He carefully stroke away her tears. He studied her face again. His eyes stared in to hers. Then, suddenly, he dragged her into a warm embrace. Yuya was shocked, she had no idea what to do. But as she felt Kyo shaking she felt herself pull her arms around him.

"K-Kyo..."

His face was hidden in her shoulder, in her hair.

"You've become a woman..."

She stood still as he talked, with a low voice.

"You've believed in my return for all this time..."

She felt more tears coming up.

"Thank you. I owe you so much..."

Her grip around him got tighter. Then she smiled.

"I-it was the l-least I could do! You helped me so much..." Her voice was shaking.

He loosened his grip and looked at her again. She could see that his eyes were wet, but she knew that he would never let tears come out, cause of his pride.

Then he let out the words that he had been holding in for so many years.

Words that contained his feelings.

Words that Yuya deep inside wished to hear by all her heart.

" I Love you."

Her tears were running wild again.

"I-I Love you to."

They embraced in a deep kiss, as the cherry flowers flied around them in the night breeze.

As the memory run trough Yuya's mind she felt how her eyes got wet.

She felt Kyo wrap his arm around her waist and pulled her closer to him. She looked up at him and he smiled back. Se gave him one of those extremely wide smiles, and then the couples stuided the cherry blossoms in silence.

Cherry blossom was indeed something great. It brought people together. And it was them who made Yuya to the most happiest woman in the world, except for Kyo.

XxXxX

"Hidetada-sama! Wait!"

The kunoichi was running after her master. He was very fast.

"Come on Mahiro! Don't be so slow!", he shouted back.

Mahiro tried to run faster. Then her master just stopped and she bumped straight in to him.

"Ah, pardon me, Hidetada-sama!"

The man turned around. He smiled.

"No need to be so formal, Mahiro! And right now, my name is Benitora, not Hidetada!"

They were standing in the middle of the road. About just one hour ago they had escaped the castle. Or they actually hadn't escaped. It was just Benitora who liked to use that word.

He walked in simple getas, had green pants and a black shirt with a beige happi, without sleeves, over that. On his head he had a white bandana with tiger patterns .

He was carrying a great spear.

His real name was Tokugawa Hidetada and he was the shogun. However, right now he was off work and walked under the name 'Benitora'.

He had really been looking forward to this. He didn't have to work so he could finally travel and meet up with Yuya and Kyo. He missed them so.

And together with him, he had Mahiro, one of his most trusted soldiers, a great friend and also his love interest.

Mahiro was a female ninja with black hair that seemed to be floating around her face. She wore a kimono in a light gray color.

She seemed like an ordinary woman, traveling with the weird spearsman. But she was hiding weapons. And on her left chest she had a tattoo of a spider and on her arms she had scars. They were proof that she also was a master in every spiderteknic.

"Why are you such in a hurry?" the kunoichi asked.

"We're going to meet Yuya-han and Kyo-han! Isn't that a good excuse to be excited?"

Mahiro smiled. That was just like him. As a leader of a whole country, he was very childish.

They both continued their journey. It was some days traveling to reach their goal, but the were both in good moods, so it was not a bad journey ahead. The problem would turn up when they arrived.

XxXxX

The evening was coming and everywhere was the sound of the happy people.

In the middle of the town, the little group containing Kyo, Yuya, Kyoshiro and Sakuya walked as they laughed and chattered happily. Well, Kyo was mostly silent.

It had been a great day. Yuya had enjoyed it to the fullest. It had been much activities in town. Most entertaining of all (except Kyo's and Kyoshiro's fights) was a circus. Yuya was deeply impressed by the stunts that the actors performed.

Kyo had only been muttering about how ridiculous it was, but Yuya let him be. It was not always she enjoyed to see his battles, which used to involve death, blood, fear and at last, a wounded Kyo.

Kyoshiro had been talking and discussing with different people about medicines and he was greatly inspired by a traveling doctor that came from the far west, across from the seas. They had been talking for hours.

Sakuya spent most of the time with Yuya. She had also enjoyed the circus and after that they had been looking at kimonos that was for sale. Yuya fell for a purple one as Sakuya fell for one with a light pink color.

Always had Kyo been in the background, watching over Yuya.

As for him, he had taken a couple of bottles with sake. Yuya complained about it and Kyo just answered with "They're free. You don't need to pay". And so had their fights started again. But it was those fights that they used to have, it was just like how it should be.

Actually, Kyo had been enjoying this as well, even if he didn't show it. It was not bad at all to go on festivals. And most important of all, Yuya was happy and to see her smiling face was enough to make him enjoy things to the fullest.

It felt good to realize that he could enjoy himself in other ways than fighting.

Now the people in the town prepared themselves for the big main event. Fireworks.

It was not far to midnight. Kyoshiro looked around and just realized that the samurai and his blonde wasn't there.

"Where is Kyo and Yuya-san?"

Sakuya smiled at him.

"They went somewhere else."

Kyoshiro's lips flew up into a big smile.

"Well, maybe we should let them be alone then?"

He pulled his arm around her. Sakuya did the same. They smiled at each other and then looked up at the peaceful sky that soon would be a sea of colors and big 'bangs'.

"Kyo! Where are we going? Why aren't we with the others?"

Kyo didn't answer. Instead he kept his tight grip around Yuya's hand and kept walking. She had to run to keep up.

"Hey Kyo! I'm talking to you! Kyo!"

He didn't answer. Yuya began to feel a little pissed of.

"Hey Kyo! STOP!"

And he stopped. Then Yuya realized that they stood on the hill with the cherry blossoms.

"Kyo... what are-? Why are we here?"

He turned to her and finally he talked.

"I just wanted to be alone with you for a moment."

Yuya was shocked by his honest answer. Now he was like this again, like yesterday.

Then a cold wind flew past them. Yuya shivered against the cold. She closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around herself.

Then she felt how Kyo wiped his brown coat around her. It was warm. She looked up at the demon, her demon.

"But Kyo! Now you will be cold instead."

He smiled softly.

"Silly, watch to whom you are speaking."

Yuya felt how she wanted to be with him. She stepped forward and hugged him. He embraced her with his large arms. It was warm and comfortable.

"Did you have fun today, Kyo?"

"Yeah. I had a really good time today."

"Good."

"Which remind me of why I'm here right now, with you."

"Huh?"

Kyo stepped back and looked her in the eyes. He took her small hand and held them carefully in his. She felt how her heart began to rush again. Kyo's face was soft. But he had also a serious expression.

"Yuya.", he said, with a clear voice.

His voice was low, almost a whisper. But she herd it very clear. It was very silent around them. The town was now quiet, waiting for the fireworks.

"Yes, Kyo?", she answered.

"Will you be together with me?"

She was shocked by his question.

"Of course I will be together with you!"

"Forever?"

"Forever!"

"As my wife?

Yuya felt how the time stopped. What did he just said?

He said... his wife?

Yuya was shocked speechless. All of her emotions were now racing inside her. Everything was spinning. Memories flew up. Memories of her time with Kyo. Emotions came flying.

Her love for Kyo was...

She felt tears coming. Lots of them and she couldn't stop them.

She flew forward and tackled Kyo in a hug. She pressed herself against him as she was scared that he would disappear. He smiled and returned the hug. He lent down his head and whispered in her ear.

"I take that as a 'Yes'."

Yuya couldn't tell her feelings apart right now. She was so happy that she didn't know what to do. Kyo's kimono became all wet by her tears. Tears that was for him, for her, for them.

"Yes. Yes, you demon! Yes!"

Her voice was shaking with her big sobs. The fact that she talked in his kimono wasn't making it sound clearer either. But Kyo heard every word. He was smiling and his eyes were shining. The were shining with emotions, all the emotions he had for his woman.

She raised her head and looked up at him. He carefully stroke away her tears with his hand.

It was just like that day, two years ago under the cherry blossom, when Kyo confessed to her. However, this time, Yuya was even more happier.

As they chained themselves in a deep passionate kiss under the cherry blossoms, the sky was filled with the beautiful colors of fireworks.
