Chap 1: Betrothal
Nealan of Queenscove sat on the edge of his bed toying with a ring in his hand. It was a beautiful ring, white gold set with amethysts and diamonds. Purple's Yuki's favorite color Neal thought with a smile, for once I've done something right. Sighing he got up and looked at himself in the mirror. He looked good in a green shirt and breeches with a gold tunic. Nervously combing his hair with his fingers he wondered, would she say yes? Did she really want to spend her life with him? Was this fun to her? Only one way to find out. He turned, silencing his thoughts and went on his quest to find Yukimi.
He found her in the courtyard looking very beautiful in a gold outer kimono and an aqua inner kimono embroidered with gold butterflies. She turned and saw him, her face blank of any emotion like any Yamani's. "How are you?" she asked pleasantly
It's now or never he thought and got down on one knee pulling out the purple velvet bow and opening it, revealing the ring. "Yukimi noh Daiomoru, I love you. I've loved you since the first day I saw you, when I was a squire. I want to spend my life with you. Will you marry me?"
Yukimi instantaneously vanished behind her fan, signaling that its holder was happy. When she emerged she smiled, despite her Yamani training and said "Yes, I'll marry." Neal picked her up in a bone-breaking hug before kissing her thoroughly.
"Let's go tell everyone!" he exclaimed.
Awwww. Isn't that sweet! Maybe this time I'll will manage not to kill the star of her story hmmmm.......this could start a trend! Anyway. WHY DOESN'T ANYONE WRITE NEAL AND YUKI FICS? Its always Kel and Neal and blah blah blah! I like Yuki so she gets the guy this time!
