The Motel in Celestial Kyoukou's birthday bash

Himeko kissed the mothers head and put her in the cage."I like it here daddy.Mommy is a good cook and she gives me lots of stuff."Himeko looked at Kyoukou."But i finally got the one thing i always wanted."Himeko hugged Kyoukou.

Kyoukou hugged Himeko tears welling up in his eyes. His voice a little shaky he replied. "I just wish i could have been here for you more."

"Its okay daddy your here now and your gonna stay right." Himeko said with a smile looking at him as Yumeko stood in the doorway with two black ferrets.

Kyoukou held his little girl tightly tears still going down his face. "I'm sorry I should have been here more for you both and I wasn't....I was to afraid to try and fix things." He held fast to his daughter and look up at Yumeko his eyes red from crying his throat was hoarse and dry. "I'm so very sorry I never came sooner Yumeko."

Himeko kissed his cheek. "Its ok Daddy." Yumeko set the ferrets down and they scurried over to Kyoukou and Himeko climbing on them.

A small smile spread on Kyoukou's face. "I can still hardly believe that I'm a father." He stood and walked up to Yumeko. "Can I talk to you alone for a minute?"

"Sure" Yumeko said letting himeko go play with the ferrets.

Kyoukou walked with Yumeko down the hall a little ways. "I wanted to know why it was that you left. And why you didn't come to me with our daughter sooner I would have been more then glad to help raise her. Also if you had it in your head I didn't love you then you were wrong or if you thought you were nothing other then a burden you were wrong I love you Yumeko and I have ever since you walked into the class that day at the academy."

Yumeko's eyes filled with tears as she kissed Kyoukou deeply crying. "I'm sorry....i'm sorry...."

Kyoukou wrapped his arms around her. "It's alright I still love you Yumiko." He pushed her back a step and knelt before her reaching into his pocket. He pulled out a box that contained a ring. he held it up to Yumeko. "I wasn't sure I'd find you but I told myself that if I did and you still loved me I'd do this. So here goes. Yumeko will you marry me?"

Yumeko shocked at the ring she got over joyed and said. "Yes!Yes of corse!!!"

Kyoukou took Yumeko's hand and slid the ring on her finger then stood pulling her close giving her a passionate loving kiss. "I love you Yumeko. Me and you forever"

"Forever!" Yumeko shouted and kissed Kyoukou deeply and passionately. Himeko peeked out of her room and giggled and made kissy noises.
