Disclaimer: Geez you know the concept. I DON'T OWN ANYTHING EXCEPT THE IDEA FOR THIS FICTIONAL STORY BASED ON CHARACTERS OF NATSUKI TAKAYA!

"That was a delicious dinner, Tohru," Sayoko said while putting her chopsticks down, "I am going to go to your room for a rest now,"

"Okay, sis! I'll just clean up your plates," Tohru smiled and said.

Sayoko got up and walked up the stairs to Tohru's room.

"What are you doing in here?" she asked Shigure.

"I wanted to see you… before you leave," he answered.

"How did you know… that I was leaving?"

"Yuki told me. Apparently he heard something he wasn't supposed to,"

"Yes, he did. He listened into my conversation with Hatori and Akito."

"Akito? Why would you go see her?" he asked worriedly.

"That is none of your business," she said. He walked up to her.

"You know I only worry for you, Sayoko. I…I…lo…" he was stopped by the door sliding open.

"I brought your laundry in, sis. Oh Shigure! Why are you here?"

"I was returning a book back to Sayoko and have a little chat, that's all!"

"Okay! I'm going to hang some of Kyo and Yuki's clothes out to dry now," Tohru brightly said. She then left the room.

"What were you about to say, Shigure?" Sayoko asked.

"That I love you," and kissed her.

"I'm going to miss you a lot. I wish you could come with me to Sapporo but you need to stay here and watch the three. I'll try to be back soon, I promise. If you want to contact me, call my cell. I'm staying be at my step-father's hotel. Will you take me to the airport? I know you can drive well," Sayoko said.

"Sure. Come on, let's go outside. I have something to ask you," he said. They went out onto the balcony and closed the door behind them. The sat down on the bench and Sayoko laid her head on his chest and stared at the setting sun. Shigure stroked her hair.

"Um… I have a question to ask you before you leave tommorow," Shigure went down on his knees and took a small box from his yukata and opened it. A beautiful ring was in it. "Will you, Sayoko Takahashi, marry me?"

"Shigure, I will marry you," she replied and embraced him. She kissed him again and hugged him. Shigure slipped the ring onto her finger.

"Something to remember me when you're gone," he whispered in her ear.

Shigure was dressed in a polo, jeans, and Converses. Sayoko left Tohru's room with her suitcases and closed the door quietly.

"Are you ready to go yet?" he asked. He picked up her cases.

"Yes..let's…"

"Um… Shigure and Sayoko, can I go with you to the airport? I want to see you go," Yuki asked. He was sitting on the couch dressed fully.

"Sure you may come. Let's go," Sayoko quickly answered. They walked outside to the black car and entered it. Shigure put the key in the ignition, started the car, and backed out of the yard.

"Since when did you have a car? Or drive?" Yuki asked.

"I always knew how to drive. This car was in the garage for a long time. You just never saw it in there," Shigure said with a smile.

"Yuki you must remember not to tell, understand? This is a secret mission to find my father and you need not tell anyone else. Also don't tell anyone about…about me and Shigure. Everyone will find out sooner or later," Sayoko said.

"Yeah… I understand," he answered as they got to the airport.

Well… we have come to the end of this. Please, please, please review! I'm watching you!
