"Would you spend an eternity with the demon who captured you?" Hyaku asked as soon as Sora left the room, leaving us alone.
I found the question surprising and a little silly at the same time. I hadn't expected him to ask, but why would I have turned into a demon if not to be with him? "If I turned into a demon, then I will sure love to spend the rest of my life with you," I smiled.
He leaned in and kissed me, "Then tell me, would you be my wife?"
I looked up in surprise. His loving, caring eyes met mine, and I didn't even have to think about my answer. I yanked him down to my lips and kissed him ravenously. "Of course I would be your wife," I said into the kiss.
I felt his smile as he ran his hand through my hair. My hands found his chest and his wound, but I caressed him gently.
"I see you two are doing just fine," Koori interrupted. He seemed rather smug about it.
"Do you just wait for us to get busy before you come into the room?" Hyaku mumbled under his breath. "We're always getting interrupted." He seemed sadder than he should have and I smiled at this.
Koori nodded. "Ya, and I watch for awhile," he teased before crossing the room to stand at the edge of the bed looking over at us. "Hana sent me to see how you were doing. She's gathering some medicine from the garden. She'll probably be in later to check everything."
I nodded. "Thanks, Koori, for everything."
"Hey," he shrugged. "It's nothing."
Koori was a good guy, almost like what I imagined a brother to be like, and Hana could be considered my older sister. I had found my new family without ever having realized it.
