Dark little world: thanks for the review. :)

Answer

Suna – Gaara

"So, what's the letter about?" inquired Kankurō.

"It's a response to a marriage proposal." I said as I opened the letter.

Kazekage Gaara of the Sand

We received your letters. We wanted to inform you that your request has been granted. Lt. Momo Hinamori will be demoted to substitute status. She will be able to keep her powers. We have asked Yoruichi Shihōin to help you with the wedding arraignments. You have also been granted with permission to come and visit the village of souls. We wish you both a long life of happiness together

Spirit King Isamu

And

Head Captain Yamamoto

I couldn't believe it.

"Yes!" I yelled.

"I can't believe you pulled it off." smiled Kankurō as he lightly punched my arm. "Just wait until Temari and Matsuri hears this."

"Temari is not here. She went ahead with Yoruichi yesterday, even though Yoruichi came back, to help set up stuff in the village of souls and meet with the head captain. Yoruichi is going to come and get me, so I can go and propose to Momo." I grinned.

"I take it that the two of you had this planned out for a while. Let's go tell Matsuri." stated Kankurō as he pushed me out the door. "Matsuri! Matsuri!"

Seireitei – Temari

"Let me get this straight, you need help with setting up a place where your brother can propose to my lieutenant?" asked Byakuya.

"I know it sounds crazy, but she is your subordinate. Plus, Gaara has received permission from the Spirit King and the head captain." I explained. "Besides with all they both have been through, they do deserve some happiness"

"You do have a point there. I did receive a notice from the head captain concerning Momo. How about the gardens at my manor? The sakura trees are in bloom. We could have it as a small dinner party." he offered.

"Perfect, I'll have Yoruichi retrieve my brother. Thank you." I smiled.

"Then I'll escort you to your meeting then." Byakuya got up, heading towards the door.

I followed him. A few minutes later we were outside the head captain's office.

"I can't go in, but I'll be here when you're done."

I went to the door. Knock, knock

"Enter!"

'Here we go' as I took a deep breath and opened the door.

"You must be the Kazekage's sister Temari, please to meet you." observed Yamamoto.

"I am, sir. You had requested me?" I asked as I bowed.

"I have one request of your brother. Please take care of Momo; she's very special to us. Also, one of her duties she will keep is to be a representative of your village if or when we call upon you for help and information. The Spirit King has left a gift for the couple, please make sure they get it after the wedding." he motioned to a box sitting on a table.

"I'm positive that my brother will honor your request and the duties of the Kazekage's wife will not interfere with her duty to you. I'll make sure they get the King's gift. Thank you."

Yamamoto nodded as I picked up the gift and left.

Week later – Momo

"Sir? I'm invited to a social at you manor? What is the dress code?" I asked slightly confused.

"Well, lieutenant, it would be formal and please be on time tonight." Byakuya sighed in annoyance.

"Yes, sir." I left and headed back to my quarters.

"Hey Momo!" I turned to see Yoruichi and Temari running towards me.

"Hi!" I called back. "What's up?"

"We just wanted to see you" smirked Yoruichi "and help you get ready for tonight."

"You make it sound like something special is going to happen." I teased.

"Of course there is! The sakura trees are in bloom. It's very pretty to watch them at sunset. Oh, we have something for you." Smiled Temari as she held out a big box.

By then we reached my quarters. Risa was waiting for us. I put the box down on the table and opened it. I pulled out a beautiful white ankle length cheongsam that had red and silver roses on it.

"Oh, Temari, it's beautiful." I grinned as I walked into the bedroom to change.

Hours later

The three of us walked over to the Kuchiki manor. I was excited and nervous at the same time. There were quite a few people there. All of the captains and lieutenants were account for. I was having fun talking to everyone. After a while I wondered over to the sakura tree, admiring it as some of the petals fell with the breeze, not realizing that the sun was setting and someone was walking up behind me.

"Momo," came a familiar voice.

I turned around to see Gaara as he took off his hat. I was shocked to see him and in his Kazekage outfit. I looked into his eyes and smiled. He smiled back and knelt down on one knee.

"Momo, I have fallen in love with you. I want you next to me for the rest of our lives. Will you marry me?" he asked as he opened a box and reviled a beautiful ring. I was weak in the knees and my eyes were welling up with tears.

"Yes" I whispered.

I moved towards him, pulling him up to me and kissing him. We heard some cheers and applauding. I had completely forgotten who was all there. I noticed Temari and Kankurō in the crowd smiling. Gaara took the ring out and placed it on my finger. I admired the engraving on it and just grinned bigger.

We walked around to talk to people. I introduced Gaara and showed off the ring. We ran into Ichigo talking to Shūhei and Rukia.

"I heard about the request, Gaara." Ichigo said.

"How did you find out?" he asked.

"My uncle is the Spirit King. He had asked me about Momo," he said, "Don't worry, I only told him good things."

I was shocked. "Thank you, Ichigo."

"Don't worry about it, besides you have someone who obviously makes you happy." he smiled.

We kept going around until we ran into the head captain. He was sitting in a chair with a table next to him. It looked like there were some papers on it.

"Kazekage Gaara." Yamamoto said and Gaara nodded.

"It's good to meet you. Momo, we have things to discuss. First is your paper for being demoted to a substitute status. You will be stationed in the World of the Living at Suna. You will report anything of importance to Squad Ten. Furthermore, the spirit king would like to see you before you leave back to Suna. You and Gaara have been give special permission from him to come back and visit us. We want to thank you for your services. Dismissed and congratulations." he smiled as he handed me the papers. Everyone around us applauded.

"Everyone thank you for coming and enjoy the rest of the night." Byakuya said. "Oh, Momo, we will have people help you pack and move your belongings to Suna, starting tomorrow."

"So soon?" I asked.

"Well, you are no longer a member of my squad and I'm sure Gaara would want you near him, since you have a wedding to plan." he pointed out.

"Thank you, Captain."

"Congratulations, Momo" he smiled as he walked away.

Yea!
