Six years later…
"Luchia! Hurry up! Didn't Kaito tell you to meet him at the beach in five minutes?!" Hanon called.
"What's the rush?" Luchia said as she came down the staircase. "It's not like he's going to disappear."
Her blue-haired friend looked at her from head to toe, then scrunched up her nose. "Just what are you wearing?"
The blonde looked at her outfit and raised her eyebrow at her friend. "Do you have something against my shirt?" She was wearing a completely white shirt.
"No! You have to go change! Come on!" Hanon ushered her back upstairs. She pushed Luchia back into her room and rummaged through her closet.
"What's wrong with my outfit?!" Luchia questioned Hanon while looking at herself in the mirror. She looked fine.
"Change into this," Hanon said and tossed Luchia's white sundress in the girl's face. "I'll go get some shoes to go with that."
"Why do I have to pretty myself up again?" she asked, holding the dress in her hands.
"Don't question me and put that on. I'll do your hair and make-up."
"I'm just meeting Kaito!"
"I know, now shut up and put the dress on." Luchia sighed in defeat as she changed into the white sundress. It looked exactly like the one she wore six years ago. She was now twenty-two and very happy. After the incident back in high school, she and her boyfriend never fought. They always made their way around fighting. They, including their friends, wanted to avoid the incident from before. She sat down on a chair in front of her dresser while Hanon busied herself with her shoulder-length dirty blonde hair. Luchia frowned. What was all this fuss about?
"You're gonna look like an angel once I'm done with you," Hanon gushed.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. "Come in," Luchia called. The door opened and Rina stepped in in her casual wear.
"What's with all the prettying?" the green-haired girl asked while raising an eyebrow as she walked over to them and stood behind the two girls.
"That's what I've been wondering myself," Luchia muttered loud enough for both of them to hear.
"She's going off to meet Kaito at the beach today," Hanon answered, giving Rina a knowing glance. Rina's eyes widened as if she just remembered something.
Luchia frowned. "What the hell is going on?"
Hanon and Rina ignored her question. "What time are you meeting Doumoto?" Rina asked.
"I'm meeting him at six. Why? Is there something happening at six?" The two girls ignored the blonde once again. They glanced at the clock. It was already four-thirty.
"Four-thirty already?! Rina! Come help me!" Hanon cried. Rina nodded but had a confused look on her face. How the hell am I supposed to help? she thought. She was never the type to dress herself up. Oh, whatever. I'll probably end up not doing anything anyways. "I'll need your opinion!"
"Of course," Rina sighed and sat herself down on Luchia's bed and pulled out a random magazine.
Five minutes later…
"What do you think?" Hanon asked while Luchia stood there standing, still very confused.
"Lessen the make-up. Make it more natural," the green-haired girl answered after looking at her friend from head to toe. "It doesn't make her outfit."
"Natural," Hanon repeated. "Of course! Luchia! Go wash your face!" Luchia sighed, but did as she was told.
10 minutes later…
"That's better," Rina said while nodding her head in approval. Luchia looked like an angel that descended from heaven. Kaito's going to go crazy when he sees her, she thought with a smile. "This is for you, Luchia," Rina said as she handed her a red rose with a note attached to it.
"Thank you, Rina," Luchia smiled and took the rose.
"Off you go now," Hanon said and ushered her to the front door. "Make sure to tell us all the details later," she whispered softly with a smirk before pushing Luchia out the door. Luchia stood there standing.
"I still don't get what's happening." She stood outside the front gates and opened the note.
Hey Luchia! Um…I'm not really good at this romantic thing but do you know what a red rose means? Well you probably do right? It means 'I love you' in the language of flowers. I love you very much, Luchia. – Kaito D.
Luchia smiled at the simple, but sweet message Kaito gave her and made her way to the beach with a red rose in her hand.
At the beach…
Luchia neared the beach and looked around for her boyfriend. She walked down to the beach and saw only three yellow roses. No sign of her boyfriend anywhere. Picking up the yellow roses, she saw that there was a note attached to it. Frowning, she opened the note.
Yo, Luchia! Looks like you found the first rose. These yellow roses represent the friendship and trust I have for you. This is my promise to you for a new beginning. Follow the instructions on the back for the next clue. – Kaito D.
Luchia gaped at the note. Just what was going on? She turned the note over where a map of the next place was. She followed the map and ended up at Maki-san's place. She opened the door and saw Maki-san waiting for her.
"Here you go, Luchia," Maki-san said as he handed her a bouquet of ten orange roses. "That kid must be really serious to be doing this," he mumbled under his breath. Luchia walked out of the shop and opened the note.
Hey, Luchia! Looks like you found the second place without getting lost. These yellow roses represent my fascination with you. You never cease to amaze me with even the simplest things you do. Follow the instructions on the back for the next clue. – Kaito D.
She turned the note over and followed the map and reached their high school. "This place brings back so many memories," she whispered to herself as she looked at the building. Standing at the front gates was their former teacher, Mitsuki-sensei. Her ex-teacher smiled at her, "Long time no see, Nanami-san. This is for you, I believe." He handed her a bouquet of twenty-four pink roses. "Good luck on finding the rest!" he called after her.
"Thank you sensei!" Luchia opened the next note.
Looks like you found the third place. Brings back a lot of memories right? These pink roses represent your beauty and sweetness. You will always be beautiful in my eyes no matter what other people say. Turn the note over for the next place. – Kaito D.
There were tears in her eyes. This was all too sweet. Who knew Kaito Doumoto was the romantic type? Excitedly, she turned the note over and followed the instructions and ended up at the aquarium. "This was where our first date was," she said to herself. She walked into the aquarium and followed the instructions on the note. She ended up at the North Pacific Ocean tank. There was a bouquet of thirty-six lavender roses lying around. She picked up the bouquet and opened the next note.
Remember this place, Luchia? This was where we had our first date. We were fourteen then, and I already knew that you are the one for me. These roses represent the wonders and impossibilities of the future and also, the love at first sight I experienced when I first saw you. Follow the instructions on the back for the next place. – Kaito D.
"He remembered," Luchia said as she stared at the note in wonder, reading it over and over again. She never expected him to remember. Tears were sliding down her cheeks. She quickly wiped them away and followed the instructions on the back and left the aquarium. She ended up at the lighthouse on the cliff. She walked into the lighthouse and climbed up the stairs as the note says. Reaching the top, she found a bouquet of ninety-nine blue roses.
"Wow, I've never seen blue roses before," she whispered and reached for the roses. "This is unbelievable. I don't think I can hold another bouquet of flowers." She opened the next note hidden in the blue roses.
This is the second to last one, Luchia. I promise. I bet you've never seen blue roses right? Well, these blue roses are mysterious aren't they? They represent the mysteries of the new beginnings we will face in the future. As long as it is with you, I would gladly face them all. This will be the last place you visit. See you soon. – Kaito D.
"Kaito," Luchia whispered as she smiled and smelled the blue roses. A beautiful fragrance, she thought. She turned the note over and followed the instructions written. She came to a stop and looked around to see where she ended up. "What? The beach? This is where I started though!" She looked around and saw a figure standing on a huge boulder. Cautiously, she walked over to the figure. There was Kaito standing on the boulder with a huge bouquet of white flowers in his hand. He turned around to see her approaching him. He grinned.
"Luchia! You made it!" he yelled. He pulled her up onto the boulder and hugged her tightly. "Did you find all the flowers?"
"Yes I did," Luchia mumbled into the crook of his neck. "That was very sweet of you. Thank you."
He pulled away from the hug. "Do you know what the number of roses mean?" Luchia frowned at the question and shook her head. Kaito grabbed her hand as he tried his best to hide the gigantic bouquet of flowers behind his back. "One rose means love at first sight, that you are the one. Three roses mean 'I love you'. Ten roses mean 'You are perfect'," he started explaining. Luchia had tears in her eyes. "Twenty-four roses mean that I can't stop thinking about you, twenty-four hours everyday. Thirty-six roses mean 'I will remember all our romantic moments'. Ninety-nine roses mean that I will love you for as long as I live." Kaito then knelt to the ground on one knee and revealed a bouquet of one hundred and eight white roses. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box. He gave Luchia the bouquet of flowers, which she accepted gladly and opened the box to reveal a pink diamond ring.
"One hundred and eight roses mean 'Will you marry me?'" he said and looked up at his beautiful girlfriend. She was crying. Kaito hoped they were tears of happiness. He waited for her answer.
Luchia was at a loss for words. She couldn't get the right words out. It was all too much for her. She looked down at Kaito, who was still waiting for her answer. Silently, she nodded her head and cried even more. Kaito grinned and picked her up and swung her around. He slipped the ring onto her ring finger and kissed it. He grinned up at her and kissed her on the lips in the moonlight.
