Chapter 2 - From Pebbles to Mountains
***A Day of Shopping***
After spending a week in Ningenkai, Kenshin returned to Makai. The group was sad to see him leave, but he promised to visit them again. It was now Saturday afternoon. The sun was out and the perfect, light breeze kept you cool without messing up your hair. Hiei and Kurama promised Cherry and Adella they would take them on a shopping spree through the chain of stores downtown. Of course, the girls took advantage of this opportunity that rarely came by. After the first store, they walked out with six shopping bags filled with dresses, skirts, and blouses. They decided to split up so the guys wouldn't always be waiting.
"We should meet up at the milkshake shop in an hour for lunch," suggested Kurama and everyone agreed. The girls walked off to continue shopping.
"Oh, wait, Hiei!" called Cherry while running back to him. He was still standing with Kurama in front of the clothes shop they came from. "Ummm .credit card?" Cherry smiled. Hiei gave her his credit card and in return she kissed him. Cherry and Adella then ran off into a book store.
Hiei and Kurama strolled along the sidewalk and came to a jewelry store when Hiei stopped, "Hey, Kurama. Let's go in here."
They entered and a male employee, dressed in a black suit with a silk, silver tie, greeted them from behind a glass counter filled with precious jewels and gold, "Hi guys, how can I help you?"
Hiei walked over to him, "It's my wife's birthday next week and I'm looking for a gift."
"I know the perfect thing," the salesman pulled out a gold, heart-shaped locket with crushed diamonds outlining a rose on the front. "On the back of the locket, you can have a special message engraved."
At first sight, Hiei knew Cherry would love it. He turned around looking for Kurama and saw him staring at engagement rings.
***Precious Memories***
The four met at the milkshake shop for lunch. On their way home they took different routes.
Hiei and Cherry went the long way which passed the beach. He wanted to go to the cliff by the ocean where he told Cherry the story of the illumshus before.
Kurama and Adella went another long way. He wanted to go to The Rose Garden where he first told Adella he loved her.
Both couples were going to places that symbolized pebbles in their lives that turned into mountains.
***Cliff by the Sea***
The sun had set by the time Hiei and Cherry made it to the cliff. Cherry was holding onto Hiei's hand and stared at the sight of illumshus glowing neon blue in the distance. "So, are you going to give me another Illumshu pendant? I'm not waiting for anything anymore .except my stomach to start getting bigger with this baby."
Hiei smiled and held onto Cherry's hand tighter, "Since we're leaving for Makai in a few days, I wanted to come here to give your birthday present." Hiei pulled out the gold, heart-shaped locket he bought earlier downtown.
Cherry was mesmerized by the crushed diamonds outlining a rose. She opened it and saw pictures of her and Hiei. She then looked at the back of the locket where a message was engraved, and read aloud, "Never wait .I'll always love you for eternity."
A bittersweet memory came into mind of the night Hiei found Cherry at Babu Mountain and told her he loved her. Cherry put the locket on and gave Hiei a long kiss. They sat down and she fell asleep in his arms. Hiei stayed up all night watching the illumshus until the sun rose.
***The Rose Garden***
While Hiei and Cherry were having a special moment together, Kurama and Adella were having one of their own. They walked through The Rose Garden and came to a bench. This is where Kurama had told Adella all the feelings he had for her that evening of the last day of school.
Adella recognized this scene right away, but it was more romantic this time. It was night now and lights lit up the garden as if there were millions of fireflies hiding in the rose bushes. She sat down on the bench and Kurama followed.
He put his hand on her's and looked her in the eyes, "You know Adella, I've always loved you. Even before I met you, I felt a special love for someone out there, and that someone turned out to be you."
Adella was nervous all of a sudden. She had a hint of what was coming up when Kurama pulled out a little, black box and bent down on one knee. "Will you marry me Adella Avalon?"
Adella squealed, "Of course! I love you too, Kurama!" He slid the engagement band onto her left hand's ring finger. It was gold with a 1 ½ karat diamond center setting. Adella hugged then kissed (a very, very long time) Kurama. They stayed on the bench in each other's arms until The Rose Garden closed.
