And the final days of the visit between the two old friends. Let's see how they live it up.

Chapter 18: Spending Last Moments

Weeks have passed by and Sakamoto and Bao-Yi really wished it wouldn't come, but it's their last day at the Valley of Peace before they get back home to Shanghai Secluded Valley and they were willing to make that last day the best one ever and there's no better way than spending it with their friends; Akimitsu and Shizue. All four of them decided to make it worthwhile by doing anything and everything they can before tomorrow comes.

They spent it just doing some kung-fu training and showing each other what they've learned...including the 'great slam' technique and Shizue was really impressed with what Akimitsu has done and is surprised that Sakamoto taught it to him and finds it very attracting for some reason. Later, they went out on the Valley to find the nearest host springs to have a final relaxing day together.

Although...Akimitsu could not resist seeing other girls walking past his way and he mentally slapped himself in the face and stopped himself from giving into that urge and as he went over to the dressing room, he accidently saw Shizue in her underwear, which shocked both of them and Shizue immediately went in and slapped Akimitsu in the face again.

After that debacle, all four of them relaxed in the hot springs and just chatting a storm away about their younger years and how much fun they had in the Valley of Peace and Sakamoto noticed Akimitsu running up to the springs and dived back in and Shizue, Bao-Yi and Sakamoto could not believe that just really happened and when Akimitsu popped out of the water, he stared at only Shizue with a sly look that reads 'how do you like me now'. Unbeknownst to Akimitsu, Shizue saw his trunks floating towards her and when she picked it up and showed it to Akimitsu, the white wolf noticed that his trunks slipped off and got really embarassed that it just happened.

Later, all of them went to the noodle shop to have some noodles, dumplings and rice together and Akimitsu gobbled up every inch of noodles in every bowl and Shizue looked a little weirded out on his table manners and when Akimitsu sets the bowl down, he was totally unaware of the noodle dangling from his nose. Shizue tried not to laugh, but Bao-Yi couldn't resist. When Akimitsu evidently found out, he stuck his tongue out and slurps it in his mouth.

Then, they ended the night on the Peach Tree, just looking at the stars and talking. It was pretty much the best day that they could ever have and they couldn't have it any other way. Akimitsu then asked Sakamoto, "So...at your wedding, can I be your best man?"

"Most definitely, Aki...as long as you don't spy on Bao-Yi's bridesmaids." Sakamoto replied.

Akimitsu rolled his eyes in response to that and said, "I'll be good."

"And ya better not spy on me again by then." Shizue said, with warning on her voice.

Bao-Yi couldn't help but really feel excited about the wedding and that they'll be married soon enough and she said, "I'm really looking forward to spending the rest of our lives with you, Saka."

Sakamoto kissed her in the lips and said, "I am too."

Shizue smiled at this and so did Akimitsu; the love that Sakamoto and Bao-Yi shared would definitely be the same way these two will have...as long as Akimitsu behaves himself that is. Shizue looked at them and said, "I wish you guys didn't have to go."

"So do we." Bao-Yi agreed.

"If you guys are gonna be married, I wanna be Akimitsu's best man." Sakamoto added.

"And I'll be Shizue's bridesmaid." Bao-Yi replied.

Both Akimitsu and Shizue are definitely happy with that and it made them look forward to each other's wedding in the future and Akimitsu said, "We'll be sure to accept the invitations to yours and that you'll accept ours."

"We're gonna miss you guys so much." Bao-Yi added.

Shizue agreed with her and she said to her, "I'm gonna miss you too."

It'll be hard for Akimitsu to watch his friend go back home again, but he knows that he'll always have him in his heart and he said, "I hope we see each other again."

"Whenever you guys are planning to come to Shanghai Secluded Valley, look us up." Sakamoto replied.

"We will." Akimitsu agreed.

The goodbye between them is coming on the next chapter!
