Normal POV

"Hello father," Umeko walked up to her father and stood in front of his desk.

He looked up at her and smirked, "Welcome back Umeko, I see you have grown over the past few years."

Umeko smiled, "Yes father, and I have gotten stronger like you said 4 years ago."

Umeko's father looked up at her and smiled. "Then let's battle next week."

"Hai Father," Umeko replied.

"Oh, and Umeko," her father suddenly said.

Umeko turned around with a confused expresssion, "Yes father?"

"Your 18th birthday is coming soon, you much choose your husband by then," he had a serious expression on his face.

Umeko's face darkened but slowly nodded.

"Yes father..."

Umeko's POV

I walked to my room slowly and approached the doors.

'My old room, I admit, I missed this place a little. Even if I do have to marry one of those guys...'

I cringed a little and slightly pushed on the door until I heard a somewhat familiar voice.

"Umeko?"

I turned around and saw Haru, he looked a little different from before. His hair was long and his face seemed a lot more handsome from what I remembered, I slightly blushed.

"Hi Haru..." I looked away and tried not to make eye contact.

There was a moment of silence for a while.

"It's good to have you back," Haru said with a small smile.

I looked at him with shocked and wide eyes, tears were slowly coming out of my eyes and I ran up to hug him. I ran straight into his arms and we hugged.

*sniff*"It's good to have the old you back, Haru," I whispered out of joy.

"And it's good to have you back Umeko. Gomenasai for my weakness and foolishness, please forgive me," Haru whispered.

"H-hai, you're forgiven," I said.

We let go of each other for a while and started to laugh.

"So I guess I have my guy," I said.

Haru simply smiled, I missed that smile. I haven't seen it ever since he was declared one of the top 2 mages in our guild 10 years ago.

"Let's go outside, I wanna see how strong you have became over the last 4 years," Haru smirked. 'His playful side...' I got butterflies at the thought.

"Hai, challenge accepted," I smirked.

We raced through the hallways and into our training yard outside next to the garden. It was a vast yard with little trees but a lot of grass.

"Ready?" Haru smirked.

"Ready." I replied.

We dashed at each other and Haru slashed his sword at me but I was able to dodge it. I did a backflip and landed on my legs perfectly.

"Hmft, you've gotten better, Umeko," Haru compliemented.

"Why thank you, Haru," I winked. I saw a tint of pink on his cheeks and smirked triumphantly.

I dashed at him which caught him by surprise and threw a kick in his groin.

"Umft!" Haru grunted.

I smirked and smiled.

"You sure have gotten faster, now it's my time to shine sadly," Haru took out his sword which I now realized that he changed it to a katana and chanted these words.

Haru's POV

All the evil karma ever created by me of old
On account of my beginningless greed, hatred and ignorance
Born of my conduct, speech and thought
I repent of it now.

I chanted these words and plum blossoms surrounded my entire blade, I opened my eyes.

"Ume no hana karuma!" (Plum Blossoms Karma)

I slashed my katana blade and plum blosson petals flew all around and headed straight for Umeko. She looked impressed but didn't budge.

'That's so her...' I sighed.

She raised her arm with a bored expression and slashed the attack in two.

"You've still got it," I complimented. 'She really has improved over the past 4 years, and soon, she'll be my wife. I'm glad someone showed me what was right.'

"Hai, arigatou Haru," Umeko replied.

I smiled.

"But its my turn to show you what I can do with just...one...attack," she said darkly.

I got shivers that ran down my spine just hearing her words, she sounded like a demented witch. Lightning sparked all around her and she whispered something I couldn't quite catch.

Normal POV

Umeko chanted the words to summon enough power without the help of the Elemental Amulet and yelled, "Kaminari ryū no hōkō!" (Lightning Dragon's Roar)

Haru felt fear and immediately tried to dodge it but failed. The roar striked his right arm but it just stung and didn't hurt as much as he thought it would. Umeko smirked from the distance, "I'm not gonna let my fiannce die already now, would I?"

Haru chuckled, "Hai, and I guess my future wife is right."

They both shared a kiss while the sun was setting and the moment was just perfect.
