Just a short little addition to the previous chapter. I hope you enjoy. Please keep favoring my story with comments and follows. I really appreciate any feedback.

Tomoe wrapped his arms around Nanami and whispered in her ear.

"I'll be right back."

Tomoe rolled Nanami onto her side and got up from the bed. He was still naked when he walked from her room.

Nanami covered herself with a sheet and sat up on her bed.

'It's only been two days and so much has changed.'

She got up and walked over to her standing mirror.

'I feel different, but do I look different?'

She looked herself over in the mirror. Her lips were red and swollen from Tomoe's kisses and her hair was a tousled mess, but she felt sexy looking at herself. Maybe she could even see a mischievous glint in her eye that wasn't there before.

'Will anyone else notice I've changed when they get back?'

Nanami froze when she noticed the discoloration on her neck. She stood closer to the mirror and saw it was a pale white circle on her neck, just like the one she saw in her dream. How is it possible?'

Nanami spun and looked around her room. She grabbed a dress off the floor and quickly threw it on over her head. She didn't bother even putting on underwear or a bra.

'What if... what if what happened wasn't a dream? What if that odd woman really was here.'

Nanami slipped on a pair of shoes and ran to the front of the shrine where she sat with that woman. The woman wasn't there.

'Of course she's not here. What was I thinking...'

Nanami let out a big sigh and sat on the bench.

'I'm losing my mind.'

Nanami closed her eyes and tilted her head back taking long deep breaths of the cool night air.

'I can't have everything I want right? I finally have fully given myself to Tomoe after we have both been tormenting ourselves thinking of how we can be together and then when that woman arrived...'

"Ahhh..." Nanami outwardly sighed.

She extended each of her arms and with her right fingertips she brushed something cold. She opened her eyes and looked at what she had just touched. It was a small metal broach in the shape of a rose. Just like… just like the woman was wearing.

Nanami jumped up as if she'd been shocked.

"It wasn't a dream."

Nanami didn't know what to do, Tomoe was so adamant it was a dream should she even bring it up.

Tomoe called from the shrine.

"Nanami, what are you doing outside?"

Nanami quickly bent over and grabbed the broach. 'I'll think about this later.'

"Just going for a walk."

"Come back inside before you catch a cold."

Nanami walked over to where Tomoe was standing and smiled. Tomoe was so beautiful she could hardly believe he was hers.

Tomoe took Nanami into his arms picking her up like a princess. Nanami squealed and giggled, but allowed him to carry her into the house.

Tomoe carried her to the bathroom which was steaming.

"I've prepared a bath for us my love."

He set Nanami down and grabbed the hem of her dress quickly pulling it over her head.

"Come on, go get in."

Nanami was so happy to see the bath she quickly hopped in and let the hot water soothe all of her aching muscles. Tomoe followed suit taking off the kimono he had put on to go outside and then getting into the bath behind Nanami. He sat so that his back was to the tub and Nanami was leaning against his chest and they were both facing forward.

They both sat in the tub and enjoyed the hot water and the company.

Tomoe could tell that Nanami was deep in thought because she hadn't said a thing since getting into the tub. Feeling self conscious Tomoe asked.

"Do you regret what has happened?"

That really snapped Nanami out of her thoughts.

"What!?"

She nearly screamed.

"Why would you think or ask that?"

"Well… you're not saying anything."

"I'm sorry I was just thinking about everything that has happened and not in a bad way. I just don't know what to say or how to act. What's going to happen when everyone comes home and they see this mark on my neck?"

Tomoe flinched. He had been hoping she wouldn't notice. He had lost control in their embrace and marked her.

"That mark symbolizes that you are mine and that no other man can have you."

Nanami blushed.

"It's the same color as the mark I had on my wrist when Mizuki gave me the engagement mark..."

"It is like that. A sign of our engagement. I'm sorry I didn't ask you first."

Nanami grabbed Tomoe's hand.

"We'll tell them together. We've already been engaged for quite some time..."

Nanami trailed off. They both sat awhile longer in comfortable silence.

"Nanami, I love you."

There was a loud crash and the bathroom door swung open. Mizuki was standing at the door shaking in fury.

"Tomoe I'm going to kill you!"

I know it is short, but there is more to come. Mizuki is back! As to answer a question that was asked in the comments awhile ago everyone had left the shrine to visit a friend of Mikage leaving only Nanami and Tomoe behind to watch the shrine, but it couldn't last forever. Please let me know what you think.
