Since Yuki dreamed about Ikuto, let's see Ikuto dreaming about Yuki. It's gonna be a sweet one!

Dreaming About Yuki

As Ikuto fell asleep, he was dreaming the same thing about Yuki and their love for each other has flourished into something wonderful and amazing and it's because of his undying love for her and in his heart, he knew that she was the one for him because her beauty, kind heart and spirit about her just caught his attention and captured his heart despite their different species. Sometimes his shyness would would often get the best of him because it's a girl involved and because she's Akashi's niece that he would never get a chance to spend forever with her, but in many ways...Yuki's acceptance of him just as he is really shined through and looked past whatever insecurities he has and focused on his good heart and protective nature and he would do anything and everything to make sure she's taken care of.

After seeing her face battered and bruised, he thought that he lost her for good, but really thankful that she's still alive and doing fine and that she still loves him and has remained loyal and faithful to him. As he slept, he dreamt about what the future would be like for both him and Yuki together.

Ikuto's dream

Ikuto lays down on the grass and just looks up at the skies, thinking about Yuki and as he watched the clouds go by, he starts thinking about how he wants to spend the rest of his life with her and he knows that Yuki's the reason for his newfound love and that she cares about him the same way he cares about her.

"Ikuto?"

Ikuto's ears perked up as he sits up and sees Yuki in the most beautiful outfit he's ever seen and it made his heart stop and his tail wag everytime he sees her and as Yuki comes over to him, he was sweating...for shyness reasons. But he knew that he mustered up the courage to just open up his heart to the one he loves and he said, "Yuki...you're so beautiful to me."

Yuki giggled in response and she sits next to him and she said, "Thank you. You're so sweet and handsome."

Ikuto blinked his eyes a few times and when he looks at her, every ounce of beauty just overwhelms him and his heart is set on her and their future together and when the clouds builded up, Ikuto felt Yuki's hand on his chest and he blushed a little, but just enjoyed the moment and he placed her paw on his own and he said, "Yuki...all I want more than anything is to be with you until the end of time."

"I want that too, Ikuto. I've always had feelings for you since day one." Yuki answered.

"Yeah...but I always thought you'd be better off with another guy who's more stronger, better-looking and treats you better. Like someone in your own species instead of a wolf like me." Ikuto said, ears drooping.

Yuki stared at him for a few seconds, then placed her hand on his shoulder and said, "There's no other guy in the world for me except for you. Believe it or not, I always thought that you weren't good enough for a tigress like me and that there would be hundreds of girls surrounding you." Yuki added.

"Yuki...no other girl would ever love me like you do. I would never make you feel like you're not good enough. When you're happy, I'm happy. Whenever you feel sad, I'll always be there to comfort you. When you feel lonely, you'll always have me by your side. There's no one else in the world that I'd spend my life with other than you." Ikuto added, holding her shoulder.

Just then, they heard the thunder crashing, but neither of them cared about it as they kept looking at each other deeply and leaned in for a kiss and seconds later, the rain starts pouring down hard and their fur and clothes were soaked, but it didn't matter to them as they kissed in the rain. Their kiss went from deeply tender and sweet to passion within several seconds as their tongues are wrapped around each other's mouths and held each other tightly.

After a full-on 12 minute kiss, Ikuto looked at Yuki in the eye as the rain pours down on them and they walked down the hill, hand in hand and each promising that they'll always be by their side and as they headed towards the forest, they stopped for a while as Ikuto got down on one knee, held Yuki's hand and brought out a silver tiger ring and asked, "Will you marry me?"

Yuki was shocked and happy to hear what he just asked and tears were coming out of her eyes in complete joy and she looked at Ikuto in the eye and replied, "Yes."

It felt really great for Ikuto to receive a yes from Yuki and he placed the ring on her finger and she said, "It's beautiful."

"Just like you are." Ikuto answered.

He stood up again and kissed Yuki on the lips again as she hugged him tightly as they were in the rainforest and the rain fell down through the leaves as they embraced each other...as the scene shifts to them kissing on their wedding as they're pronounced husband and wife and walked out holding hands in front of their loved ones and another scene shifts to them having a family of their own; six kids. Two boys, two girls, one boy and one girl; both wolves and tigers, one wolf-tiger hybrid and a tiger-wolf hybrid, just living the beautiful life together as a married couple.

And then...we head back to reality where Ikuto's asleep and is completely happy about where the future can lead them to and he whispered, "Yuki..."

'I promise, Yuki...that I will never let anyone hurt you.' Ikuto thought to himself.

Awesome dreams! Next up, we'll see Akashi's reaction when he finds out about Yuki being Kuzan's victim.
