[Megumi pounces onto him, leaping into his arms.]

Oh, Mitsuhide, we'll get married on the 20th? Oh, oh, yes, that's perfect~! ♥ Yes, yes, yes~! ♥

[A merry, trilling, happy giggle.]

We'll have to set a date at the temple, then make sure that we have a place for the reception . . . Oh~! It's so exciting~!

[She nuzzles his cheek before kissing him eagerly.]

We're going to be married in a little over two weeks~! ♥

[He laughs lightly at her excitement, holding her one one arm around her waist.]

That's quite a definite yes, Megumi!

[A soft smile.]

Well, I'll take care of the temple arrangements today, and we can sort out the reception together.

[A thoughtful look.]

I've ordered my clothes already... have you sorted yours yet, love?

[She nods excitedly, letting out a tiny giggle.]

Alright~! We'll have to see to the location, the food, the decorations, the seatings, souvenirs . . . Oh, so much to look to~! Do you think Xanadu would be a nice place? ♥

Mmm, yes, I've had my kimono for the wedding ordered . . . though I still have to buy new kimono for everyday with Kaoru-san.

[A fond smile.]

Of course, I want to proclaim in every way that I'm going to be a happily married woman, ne? ♥

[Another soft giggle.]

Ah, ne, Mitsuhide . . . that reminds me of something! ♥

[A light chuckle, and he moves some stray hairs away from his face.]

I should think Xanadu would be lovely, Megumi, and not only because there will be more space. Though you do have a lot of friends, hmm?

[A smile.]

I think I will be meeting a lot of new people then, won't I?

Ah, but what have I reminded you of?

[She smiles up at him.]

Mmm! A number of them would want to meet the man who I love very much. ♥

[A small sigh of delight escapes her.]

I was thinking . . .

[She looks down upon her left hand, where her engagement ring glimmers upon her finger.]

Ken-san and Kaoru-san have wedding bands . . . Would you like to get a pair for us as well?

[She gives him a shyly expectant smile.]

[A chuckle, and he raises a hand to touch her cheek.]

Of course. It's not a tradition I was familiar with before the City... but I love the idea of it.

[A soft, slightly dreamy smile.]

A ring represents forever, doesn't it?

[Megumi leans into his touch, savoring the closeness, the warmth.]

Mmm . . . we had a little disaster with engagement rings back in Tokyo . . .

[A soft laugh.]

Kaoru-san, having been told by a certain friend of ours about engagement rings, received one from Ken-san. However, it turned out that he didn't know of its significance, and worst of all, the ring belonged to someone else--he'd just picked it up while fishing.

You could only imagine the chaos.

[She shakes her head, wryly amused.]

But no matter. They're happily married now, and they always will be.

[A gentle smile curves upon her lips, and her eyes grow soft.]

Forever . . . a circle, a band, for a neverending love . . . Like ours, ne?

[She lays a hand gently upon his heart.]

Loving each other for the rest of our lives . . . for eternity . . .

[Mitsuhide laughs warmly at the story, greatly amused.]

Oh, Kenshin-san! That's quite the tale, Megumi. But they found their happiness, and so have we... and it was a bumpy ride for us, too, right?

[He shakes his head and smiles.]

Yes. If this wasn't fate, I don't know what it... we could only meet in this one, inprobable place. And we did, hmm?

[foxy_physician]

[She smiles up at him, her eyes fond and affectionate.]

I would go on any journey, smooth or bumpy, so long as it's with you.

Mmm! We were meant to find each other in love . . . and we'll always be together, ne? Never to part from one another . . . I know it . . .
