Chapter 3 Will You?:
Two Years Later
Ryo and Cyci talked about all the good times they've had together these last two years: how much they had in common, all the times they realized that that person was the one, understanding each other.
Sage was right on what he said all those years ago, the future was looking good, and Ryo prayed it stayed that way. Though, on their third date when he told her that he was a Ronin Warrior, it did get a little bumpy, but she warmed up to it after awhile and gave him a second chance.
Ever since she's been with Ryo, she always ended up worrying about him, hoping that he would always return after fighting with other worldly creatures.
Now, here the two sat under the Cherry Blossom Tree where they first met, and that time has finally come!
The time where Ryo and Cyci finally bonded their love together.
Please don't let there be any interruptions, Ryo prayed silently.
Ryo found a fallen Cherry Blossom flower next to their picnic blanket and picked it up. He sniffed the beautiful flower before placing it into Cyci's hair above her left ear. While he did that he reached into his pants pocket with his other hand and pulled out a small navy blue box.
He went to one knee, opened the box, then said, "will you marry me?"
Cyci gasped in excited surprise, her right hand covering her mouth.
In the beginning she was only able to nod her head, but then she was able to speak the one word Ryo wanted to hear.
"Yes," she answered with a huge smile on her face. "Oh, yes! I will marry you!"
Ryo returned that huge smile, the two hugging and kissing before he placed the 24k gold diamond ring onto her finger.
"It's beautiful."
"That's why I got it. It reminded me of you."
They kissed once more under that Cherry Blossom Tree.
