The Mysteries of This Life
Chapter 31: This is the End and the Beginning
It had been a while since I got back from the soul society. I had started talking to all my old friends and I was dating Uryu again. Rukia and Renji finally went on their date and hit it off pretty well. Renji had asked Rukia to marry him just a week ago. She said yes. I was on a date with Uryu after I had gone through a lot of training with Ichigo and the visarads to become one myself and gain control over my hollow. Uryu and I were walking along the river together with the moon and stars out and the lights of the city on the other bank.
"This is great Uryu."
"It is."
"In fact, it's perfect. I don't think this night could get any better."
"I think it can." I pulled my arm out from his and looked at him with disbelief.
"How?" He knelt on the ground in front of me and opened a ring box to reveal a beautiful ring.
"I have fallen in love with you more than one time. I can't imagine life without you. You are my vision of the perfect woman. We have been through so much together. Let's add a new type of thing. Will you marry me?"
"Of course I will!" He slipped the ring on my finger, stood, then wrapped me in his arms and gave me a long, deep kiss.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
"I'm glad you said yes."
"This night got better. I didn't know it was possible but it did."
"You have made me the happiest man on earth."
"You have made me the happiest woman. Thank you for being there for me. I guess this starts a new chapter in our life."
