Chapter 13: Another Kept Secret
Warning: Short chapter!-- I decided to make this one short since the last few have been quite lengthy! Hehe! I love when people tel me secrets! But it sucks when people keep them from you! lol
That smae night, Jin and Sakura made plans to go out. Kurama and Briar had called and said that they were going to a late movie and would be home around one o'clock. So, Kura and Hiei were left at the apartment.
Jin and Sakura sat in the café across from the arcade. They had just finished off their dinner.
"Oy. That was damn good." Jin commented.
Sakura agreed. "yes, it was!"
"So..." Jin attempted to change the subject. "I think we need to take, Sa'."
Sakura instantly thought: 'oh no! He's breaking up with me!'. She nodded. "okay..."
"okay, well... We've been... er.. dating for quiete a while now.." he was definitely nervous. "And... I..." This might take a while. (jk). "I really love ya."
Sakura smiled. "I love you, too! A lot!"
Jin smiled as he reached into his pocket. He pulled out a beautiful but not too flashy/expensive ring and held it up to where Sakura could see it.
Sakura's eyes grew wide and she bit he rlower lip, trying to stop a huge smile.
"Sakura... Will you marry me?"
Sakura didn't even have to think for one second. "Of course I will, Jin!" The two exchanged hugs and a kiss then Jin pulled away, sliding the ring on Sakura's left hand ring finger. Sakura and Jin smiled at each other as they paid the bill then headed towards Kurama's apartment.
It was about eleven o'clock by the time Sakura and Jin returned. The couple walked inside, into a silent, still apartment.
"Kura? Hiei?" Sakura called, but not too loudly.
Jin looked for any sign of them through the apartment. The last place he checked was Kura's room, and there they wre. They were cuddling together under the blankets of the bed, sleeping. Sakura poked her head in. "Awww!" She whispered, then pulled Jin by the hand out of hte room and shut the door slowly.
"You know.. they've got a great idea." He grinned.
Sakura giggled. "are we to cuddle on the couch again?"
"O' course." Jin got the blanket and then the he and Sakura shacked up on the couch. They feel asleep, once agian, to the low hum of the television.
Kurama and Briar returned home and instantly headed to bed; they made sure not to wake anyone.
