(Phew, I got Word back, what a hectic day... neway here ya go!)
Chapter 2- Forever and Always
Dear Diary,
The weekend is over now, what a great weekend it was. I was so happy; I don't remember ever being so happy. I think I really do love him. I'm not exactly sure yet, but it feels right, he loves me, and I think I love him. He told me to get dressed nice today; he's taking me somewhere special. I wonder why? I don't think he'd propose, I hope not, I'm not ready, maybe I am, but I just need time to sort out my feelings. I think I'll be writing in my diary more often now, to relieve my feelings...
Mai
Mai closed the diary again and put it onto its place on the shelf. Then she got up and went into her closet, thinking about what she should wear. She pulled out outfit after outfit until she was satisfied with a long blue dress. Then she put her air and make up on and went downstairs to see Tominari waiting for her. He smiled and she realized how cute he really was. He looked so happy to see her and so the only thing she could think of was to smile back. 'Why am I so nervous? I think I love him, but...' Mai thought to herself.
"Are you ready? We are going to go say hi to my parents and then were going to the best restaurant in Japan." Tominari said taking Mai's hand.
"Oh. Sango, Miroku. I haven't seen them in so long. Oh, I almost forgot! My vacation is almost over; I'll have to go back to college soon." Mai said suddenly.
"Huh? Oh, that's right! I didn't tell you? I enrolled into your college; I'll be going there too! I'll be living in the dorm down the hall from yours. My major is... oh what was it again? Oh, that's right a history teacher, I know so much about Japan 500 years ago, so why not teach other people about it? Hehe!" Tominari said chuckling to himself.
Mai was too shocked to speak, but finally she replied, "I just realized now, that you really won't let me go, will you?"
"Huh? Oh, you make it sound like I kidnapped you." Tominari said frowning.
"Oh no, I'm sorry, I just meant, the promise. You promised you'd find me again. And in doing so, you haven't left my side since you found me, only to let me sleep and goto the bathroom." Mai said blushing and looking at the ground to hide her red face.
"Well, I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable, it's just, I'm afraid. Yea, that's right, I'm afraid. Afraid that if I leave your side, you'll disappear forever, leaving me alone." Tominari muttered softly.
Mai didn't know what to say, so she didn't say anything, she grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the car and then she hopped in, and he silently got in on the other side and started the car.
They drove all the way out to Tominari's house. He lived in a small quaint house, which had a beautiful garden in the front, standing in the doorway were Sango and Miroku waving.
"Oh my goodness! When Ari called, I almost didn't believe it." Sango said using her nickname for Tominari.
"But here you are." Miroku finished for her; Sango nudged him with her elbow.
"Oh Sango! Miroku! It's so good to see you again!" Mai said hugging them both.
"My, my, you've become very pretty Mai." Miroku said eyeing her, his perverted senses coming back. SLAP!
"Ow! What was that for?" Miroku said rubbing his face.
"For hitting on Mai." Sango said smiling, and then she hugged Miroku and beckoned Tominari and Mai inside.
"Mother, we should be going. We have reservations, we'll come back later." Tominari winked at his mother and then the two love birds were off to the best restaurant in Japan.
"Tominari, thank you." Mai said kissing him.
Tominari smiled after she pulled her face away and then he leaned in and kissed her on her mouth, she eagerly kissed him back.
"Ahem, ah, shall we go?" Mai said getting a little nervous.
"Ah, yes, I think we shall." Tominari said smiling at her.
At The Restaurant...
"Oh, wait till I tell Kana I came here! She'll be so jealous!" Mai said laughing.
"Mai, I brought you here to tell you something. I thought the nice atmosphere would help. I have a gift for you..." Tominari said interrupting, and then he held out an average sized box with holes in.
Mai opened the box and in it was a precious little kitten!!!
"Oh Tominari! A kitten! How sweet, I'll name her, Mina." Mai said hugging the kitten. Then a thought occurred to her, 'Oh, how will I take this cat to college?'
"I know what you're thinking. I've arranged everything, don't worry, they will allow you to bring it to your dorm as long as she stays there, and doesn't rip everything to shreds." Tominari said laughing.
'This will work perfectly.' Tominari thought to himself.
"Thank you. Um... since we're finished can we go home, I wanna get Mina settled.
"Sure." Tominari said.
At Her House...
"Mother, look, Tominari got me a kitten." Mai said as she held up the fuzzy whitish-grey ball to her mother.
"Aw, it's cute Mai." Kagome said cuddling it.
"I'm gonna take it upstairs." Mai said taking her kitten and bounding upstairs.
"I'll help." Tominari said following her, but not before he turned to Kagome and smiled his eyes gleaming. Kagome only nodded.
(OOO! The mysteriousness!!!!)
