The dinner went better than Tohru and Yuki could have imagined. Not a single dish or piece of food (or furniture for that matter) was thrown. The four of them chatted pleasantly about the days activities. After the food was eaten, Yuki and Tohru excused themselves under the pretense of fixing dessert. The other couple knew it was a play to leave them alone so they could talk. Kyo waited until the kitchen door shut before he knelt in front of Kagura. Tears pooled in his eyes as he took her hand and began to speak.

"Kagura, you have no idea just how sorry I was yesterday when I ran you off. What I'm trying to say is I love you. I think I always have. I've just never felt worthy of being loved, so to hear that you loved me would always hurt because I couldn't believe you. I really do love you, and I believe that you love me too. Kagura, will you marry me?"

Kagura sat in stony silence through all of Kyo's speech. He looked at her expectantly, sure he would get the normal Kagura response. He was in for a big surprise. She stood slowly and without a word, she left the house.

Kyo stood and had a stunned look on his face. Yuki and Tohru heard the front door close and came in to see what happened. Kyo turned to them in shock and frustration.

"Dammit, she just left. I say I love her. I even propose. She just left and didn't say a word."

"Well Kyo, what did you expect?" Yuki questioned gently. "You act like you hate her for basically your whole life and suddenly you love her and want to marry her? That had to be confusing."

Before Kyo could respond to that, the doorbell rang. Tohru went to answer the door and was greeted with a fabulous sight. Ayame came bursting through the door, dressed in his finest, with his hair blowing in the breeze and a huge grin on his face.

"Oh Yuki, dear brother, and the lovely Tohru. Ah, Kyo is here too. I can't leave him out. I have just the best, most wonderful news you will ever hear. You'll never guess so I'll just have to tell you. Mine and I are getting married in three weeks."

"Oh Ayame, that's wonderful." Tohru gave him a big hug.

"Yeah Ayame, congratulations," Yuki smiled at his beaming brother.

"Yuki, you of course will be the best man. Tohru you will look amazing in the maid of honor dress that we have already crafted for you. Yuki will barely be able to keep his hands off of you."

While the brothers continued the talk about the wedding and honeymoon plans, Tohru pulled Kyo aside.

"Kyo, I have an idea. You should probably not talk to Kagura for a couple of weeks. What you should do instead is start by sending her flowers a few times a week. Have a note attached that says "I love you" or something sweet like that. Kagura has always loved flowers. After a couple of weeks of that, any girl would fall for you."

"You really think that would work? She didn't even respond when I proposed. I'm afraid that it's all over for us."

"Oh Kyo, she still loves you. She just seems to be having a hard time believing that you love her. This plan will work. Oooo, also send her a stuffed animal or two. Make it a special one that would mean something to her. Girls love that kind of stuff."

Kyo nodded and gave Tohru a hug. He left with a look of unsure hope on his face. Ayame left shortly after with a comment that made both Yuki and Tohru blush a dark red.

"Well, I'm off for now. I know you newlyweds need some time alone to get it on. Come by the shop tomorrow for the fittings."

They made sure to lock the door behind him and walked hand in hand back to their bedroom.

Sorry that this chapter took longer than I expected to put up. The next chapter should be up a little faster. Thanks to all for reviews and keep them coming.
