Sorry it took so long to update. I had finals, and I'm an idiot. I hurt my wrist so bad I could barely write those six essays much less even type. Sorry, but thanks for being so patient. Now on with the show. MUHAHAHAHAHAHAH!


Chapter 11: I've Found Paradise

Elena and Tsume were miserable. It has been three days since they last saw each other and they both believed they will never again see each other again. Elena would go and retrieve her paper work from her office at work, and the go back home and lock her self up in her office and work all day until she went to bed. Tsume, on the other hand, was, in a way, like himself. He was quiet and stayed much to himself, but the guys could see it in his eyes that he was in pain.

"Tsume?" Toboe questioned.

"Leave me the hell alone, kid." Tsume snapped.

"I bet she misses you just as much." Toboe turned away and looked at the desert landscape that was whizzing past.

Just then a tear fell from Tsume's eyes. He then slammed on the brakes and turned a full 180 turn around. He got out of the car and began running back toward the city.

"Where the hell are you going!" Hige screamed as he jumped out of the car.

"I'm going to Paradise!" Tsume didn't stop to turn back but the guys heard him loud and clear.

It has been five days since Tsume and Elena split apart. It was night time and Elena was sitting at her desk about to call it quits for the night. Chichi was in the livingroom watching TV when she saw Tsume at the window. She got up and opened the window.

"Ts-!" Tsume clamped his hand over her mouth to shush her.

"Be quiet." Tsume whispered. "Where is Elena?"

"In her office."

Tsume jumped in through the window and calmly and quickly went into Elena's office. She was still working, but he still went over and rapped his arms around her neck.

"You want to know about Paradise?"

Elena didn't look up, she didn't say a word, and she didn't even stop working.

"In Paradise there is this beautiful strong wolf. She has an annoying twin brother, a sister who hates me, and mostly she has my heart. I fell in love with her, the first time I set eyes on her. Her and her sister living in a beautiful mansion and she owns her own restaurant. Everything about her is perfect: the way she smiles, they way she makes me laugh, and even the way she sleeps. My entire Paradise is her and I hope she feels the same way."

Elena smiled. "She does. I promise you she does." A tear fell from her face. "Oh Tsume, I missed you so much." She turned around and threw her arms around his neck and cried.

Tsume smiled. "I missed you too. I love you, Elena, and I don't want to ever have to leave you again."

"Don't. Stay with me, please."

"I will. I started this quest looking for Paradise and I found her. I don't plan on giving you up."

It has been a year since Tsume and Elena have been reunited, and they haven't been happier. Elena was up getting ready for work when Tsume came in and rapped his arms around her. "I love you, Elena."

Elena giggled. "I love you too."

"Don't forget that, ok?" Tsume kissed her and ran off.

Elena laughed.

Tsume ran into Chichi's room and shut the door. "I have to ask you something so very important."

"What?"

He pulled out a ring box.

"No, Tsume, I couldn't possibly. You love Elena."

"It's for Elena." Tsume said in an annoyed tone. He then opened the case and showed Chichi the heart-shaped engagement ring. "You know how Elena always talks about a traditional human wedding?"

"Oh my gosh. She would love that."

"I know. I'm going to take her tonight and have a moonlight picnic at the spot were we first told each other we loved one another."

"That is so perfect."

Just then Elena knocked on the door. "What are you two talking about?"

Tsume put the ring back into the case and placed in under Chichi's pillow. He then opened the door and pulled Elena into his arms. He brushed back the hair that was in her face and smiled.

"What are you up too?"

"Nothing. You look so beautiful today."

Elena rolled her eyes. "Come on Chichi lets go."

Chichi smiled and walked out of the room.

Tsume kissed Elena. "I want to take you on a picnic tonight."

"Ok."

"It's going to be late, so don't snack to much ok."

Elena smile. "Ok."

That day was the longest day for both Tsume and Elena. Elena was so excited about that night. She could only imagine what Tsume had planed for that night. It was 9:30 that night and Elena was sitting in the livingroom reading a book. Tsume came in and kissed her and took the book out of her hands. He then put a blind fold over her eyes. "No peaking."

Elena giggled. "Ok."

Tsume leads her into the car and to the picnic. He set her down on a warm blanket and took the blindfold off. Elena gasped. They were at the same spot where they first took each other they loved one another. Everything looked so gorgeous and perfect. The moon was reflecting off the water and the flowers were just glowing in radiance.

"Tsume, this is so wonderful."

"Do you like it?"

"I love it."

After they ate Elena leaned up against Tsume and he put his arms around her.

"You are so perfect." Tsume whispered into Elena's ear.

He then took the ring case out of his pocket and placed it into Elena's hand. She slowly opened it up, and saw the ring.

"Oh Tsume." Elena gasped.

He smiled and took the ring out of the case and slide it onto her finger. "Elena, marry me."

Elena stared at the ring, that was now on her finger. She turned and looked into Tsume's eyes and threw her arms around Tsume's neck causing him to fall on his back.

"Oh, Tsume. I've wanted this for so long."

Tsume smiled. "I know." They then kissed.

Elena stood on her balcony watching everyone below as they rushed around trying to finish getting the wedding ready. Lin walked in and onto the balcony.

"Finally." She said.

"I know." Elena was now staring at her little sister and her future husband who were picking at each other. "It's nearly perfect."

"What do you mean?"

"Hige isn't here."

"What makes you think that?" Hige stepped on the balcony where Lin and Elena were.

Elena turned around and ran to give her brother a hug.

"I didn't think I would ever see you again. You look so handsome in a tux."

Hige modeled for his sister and they both laughed. "Look at you." He said. She then too modeled, showing her long frilly wedding dress and vial that look so beautifully placed among the small pink flowers that were in her now curly long brown hair. Elena and Hige smiled at each other, and then they hugged again. "Sissy?"

"Yes?"

"Are you happy?"

"Yes I am, very happy."

Hige smiled and a tear came to his eyes. "I'm so glad."

Elena walked up to her now crying brother and rapped her arms around him. "Thank you so much."

"For what?"

"The best gift a brother could ever give a sister. Without you I would have never meet Tsume. Thank you so much."

Hige smiled. "I'm just glad that you're happy again. I missed that."

"Me too."

"Hey, I hate to interrupt, but the wedding is getting ready to start." Lin said.

Hige walked down into the court yard and took his place as Man of Honor. The wedding was flawless. The reception, on other hand, was a different story. Everyone had a blast, but they conducted themselves as if they were at a carnival or some sort of wild concert. There was dancing, eating, and laughter. It seemed to foreshadow the wonderful life that Tsume and Elena would have with on another, and it did.
