Hey guys! With that last chapter, ignore the website, I was going to use it for a different story, and in my rush, I put it on the word document Sorry! Anyway, there's a poll on my page! Please vote! I'm going to keep it short, so on with the disclaimer!

I first went to Élisabeth's house to drop her off, and then got to mine. I, as I carried my dress with me, wondered where I could put it. I was fairly certain that Kyo wouldn't look at it, and I trusted enough to just decide to keep it in my closet. I walked in and found an amazing smell that flooded towards me from the kitchen. I walked into the kitchen to see Kyo cooking. He turned around as he heard me approach,
"Hey, that smells good. You know you didn't have to cook for me," I told him.
"I know, but I wanted to. So, where did you go?" he asked me.
"I got my dress. It started with asking Machi to be one of my bridesmaids. What about you? What have you been doing when I was gone?" I asked him.
"Nothing much. When that damn rat left, I decided to make you dinner. You make it for me all the time," he told me, gesturing to the stove. "Besides, you look beat. Relax, and leave dinner to me," he told me.
"Well, I guess if you're going to be doing dinner, I'll go get in the shower," I told him.
"Alright. When you get out, wear something nice," he told me. I gave him a questioning look, but didn't question it. I went into the room we share, and looked through all the nice dresses I had. Finally, I decided to go with a knee length dress with a small bow on the waist. I decided to go with some black leather wedge heels that would complete the look.
I relaxed as the hot water hit my back, and decided that I should take my time, not wanting to be in a rush. I was so relaxed that I almost didn't hear Kyo ask me, "Are you almost done?"
"How long have I been in?" I wondered to him.
"About an hour," he told me.
"W-w-what? Why didn't you say something earlier?" I asked him.
"I figured that you were relaxing, so I didn't want to bug you. Don't stress over it like I know you are," he told me.
"Give me ten minutes, and then I'll be out. I just have to get dressed," I told him. I got out, and dried off in a rush to see my beloved one. I quickly ran a brush through my hair in my haste, and because I was dressed nicely, I decided that because I was so nicely dressed that I should have a little perfume on.
I walked out and went to the table that was set up. The site was so beautiful that it took my breath away. I saw that, along with it being set the correct way, a bouquet of roses and lilies we acting as our center piece. Our drink was some wine, a blush of a sort. I guess Kyo wanted to make this something special. He came out of the kitchen with two plates in his hands, as well as dressed in his tux that I so rarely saw him in.
"Wow, what's the occasion? Who's the special someone?" I asked jokingly.
"Well, she's someone in this room, wearing a dress that just takes your breath away. I think that the girl is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. To think someone like me is so special to love someone like you," he said as I looked lovingly into my eyes.
"And I'm so lucky to have you. I've never been so selfish in my life. It almost makes me feel guilty that I have you all to myself. Of course, I don't think I would be able to give you up now, no matter how much I try," I told him.
"Now, how about we eat?" he suggested. "I present to you," he paused, "my infamous rice balls with salmon." Right when I saw the dish, I busted out laughing.
"What?" he asked.
"I remember this was the first dish I tried that you made, remember?" I asked him.
"Yeah. It was after my broken arm healed, Right after we became a couple. I wanted to do something nice for you, so I thought that making dinner for you was going to butter you up," he told me.
"You had me as soft as a toasted marshmallow," I told him.
"I knew it worked! You only laughed it off, and told me that it was the nicest thing someone has ever done for you," he told me.
"Well of course it was. No one has ever done that for me before," I told him.
"I can't believe that people don't do anything for you! You're the kindest, most talented, and the most beautiful person I've ever known," he told me, as I looked down blushing tomato red.
"I'm not even that talented. People always tell me that, but I don't ever see it," I told him, as I took one of the rice balls. I started to eat, guessing that he wanted me to try it before he was going to take any. As I was taking my first bite, I saw a flash, and after the bright light disappeared, I noticed that he had a camera in his hands.
"Haha! You should see the look of shock on your face!" he laughed. I decided to take an opportunity to get my revenge, so I threw a rice ball at his face. The look on his face was so priceless, I had to get a picture.
"And you claim that I have a funny face?"
"If it's a rice ball war, a rice ball war you shall get!" he said, reaching for a rice ball.
We continued for an hour, and finally, when there were no more rice balls left to be thrown, I looked around and told Kyo, "I'm going to have to spend the whole day cleaning."
"No, you don't! I guess I'm glad that I'm going to be going to work tomorrow at the dojo. When you get on your cleaning streak, it can't stop until it's all clean," he told me, as I thought about how wring he was going to be this time.
"I'm not going to be cleaning the whole day. I'm going to be cleaning the rooms, like this one, that have our mess from the 'fight,'" I told him.
"Alright, go get into bed. I'm going to get in the shower. I don't feel like trying to explain to them why I have food in my hair," he told me, then left after he pulled out a pair of my pajamas; a pair of cat pajamas.
"Don't worry, I will be sleeping by the time you're in the shower," I told him as I drifted off into dream land.
If I didn't know I was dreaming, I would've said that it was real. I felt like I woke up in my bed, except, it wasn't my bed. It was my bed, but it wasn't, because it was the bed I had at Shigure's house. I looked around to find myself looking at the calendar. It was Saturday, June 1st, 1998. I saw that I had marked on that I was going to be graduating soon, so I was wondering if the others were just like how I was.
I checked all around the main parts of the house, and then decided to check their rooms. I saw Yuki in his room, as well as my mom and Shigure in their room. I looked in Kyo's room, and I saw that his window was open. Of course, no one would think anything about an open window for Kyo. He always had it open, but I knew that he was on the roof. I climbed up onto the roof, and saw Kyo there, looking up at the stars. I remembered this conversation, but I thought it was because he was going to be giving his speech to other people when we were talking at the time.
"Hey," I told him. I must've snuck up on him, because he jumped a little when I spoke.
"Hey yourself. Why are you out of bed?" He asked me. I looked at him, with nothing to say, just staring into his beautiful red eyes.
"Are you nervous about the speech you're going to give?" I asked him. Of course, I knew that he was more nervous about proposing more than a silly little speech, but I knew that more than anyone.
"Yeah, don't get me wrong, but I was surprised when he told me that he wanted me to do his speech."
"I was thinking that too. It makes me wonder if he did it for Machi's sake," I wondered.
"It's because that damn rat is too scared to speak in front of everyone," he concluded.
"I think it's because of the fan club. Machi told me that he threatened that they would never see the light of day ever again," I told him, as a look of shock came to his face.
"You mean the only reason he's not going to do the speech himself is because he wants to protect his girlfriend?" he asked.
"From what it sounds like, yeah. I don't ever have a problem with that, because Uo and Hana would always come. I guess they stopped because of them," I told him.
"That Yankee always has treated you like her own daughter," he told me.
"Yeah, she always has. When she has a child, she will be a good mother," I told him, agreeing with him.
"I wouldn't want her to be my mother, but then again, we really never got off on the right foot," he told me.
I was looking up at the sky, when Kyo said my name. I looked over at him, waiting for him to tell me something. He said my name again, except his mouth didn't move. It was then I realized that the real Kyo was trying to wake me up. I woke up, with Kyo staring at me with worry on his face. "Is something wrong?" I asked him.
"You look like you were in some sort of agony. What were you dreaming about?"
"Remember the conversation we had right before graduation?" I asked him.
"Yeah, was that what you were dreaming about?" he countered.
"Yeah, of course, it makes since now that I think about it, were you nervous about proposing? I asked him.
"I was nervous about the speech and about proposing. I guess the reason I was nervous for the speech was because I thought you weren't ready, or because everyone would've laughed at me."
"That's what you were nervous about?" I asked him.
"Yeah. Do you know how worried guys get when they ask their girlfriend to become their wife? They're always afraid that they're going to say 'No,'" he told me.
"You should've known the answer was going to be 'Yes.' Of course I would want to spend the rest of my life with you," I told him.
"You know how us guys are, we're uncertain about everything!" he told me.
"Yes, but with me, you should've known I would've said 'Yes,'" I told him, as I pulled him in for a kiss.
So how was it? I typed some of it on my phone, but it all got erased, and I was so mad! Of course, I typed it all in my Career Connections class, because I had nothing better to do with my time. All you do is sit and watch movies about other jobs… BORING! Anyway, press that lovely review button and send me what you thought about the chapter! Also, there's a poll on my profile for what month they should get married, R&R!
