Inojin: Hikatu let her tell the story!

the next day

The next morning while Hikatu was in the shower "Mama, do you remember that ring you told me to give to the girl I want to marry?" "Yes Inojin I remember why do you ask?" "Because I want to give it to Hikatu, in fact I asked her to marry me when we are old enough." "What did she say?" Ino asked eagerly. "She said yes." He said as he smiled brighter than she had ever seen him smile. "Well, that was fast." She said seeing Hikatu walk out of the bathroom having heard their whole conversation. Inojin noticed she was wearing a yellow dress that her mother had brought earlier that morning, "she looks cute in that dress." he thought as he ran to his room to get the ring. "I'm glad Inojin's mom is okay with me living here." She said quietly to herself as she reached for the phone to call her mom and tell her that she was moving in with him and that he had asked her to marry him when they were old enough. "Mama." Hikatu said, her voice full of confidence "Yes Hikatu?" "I'm moving in with Inojin to protect him." She said again voice full of confidence. "Oh, alright then I'll get your father and we will bring you your things this evening ok." "Ok mama, love you." "I love you too Hikatu." Sakura said as she hung up the phone. Inojin walked to where she was standing and held a box out to her. "Inojin?" He didn't speak, just smiled as she took the box and opened it, inside was a beautiful ring with a gold band and one turquoise colored stone "It's the same color as his eyes." She thought as she let him put it on her ring finger. "I have something I want to show you." He finally said after a moment, "Really, what is it?" She was very curious "Just hold tight." He said as he grabbed her waist, picked her up and carried her out the door and took off into the woods near by. In about five minutes they reached a small creek with a little waterfall and there were flowers everywhere. "I planted them." Inojin said, referring to the flowers. "Really?" "Yeah, do you like them?" "Yes, they're beautiful." Hikatu said as she smiled at her boyfriend. He put her down and kissed her gently. "I love you Hikatu." He said with a smile. "I love you too Inojin." She pressed her lips back to his with more passion than he had put in their last kiss, he kissed her back with the same passion she had. They broke apart after a moment. "Hikatu?" "Yes Inojin!" "Will you share this special place with me,... a.. and when the time comes marry me right here?" "Oh Inojin!" Hikatu squealed as she jumped back into his arms and held him tightly. "Yes of course I will!" She said as she cried into his shoulder. "Oh Hikatu." He said as he held her tighter, his face buried in her hair. "She smells like cinnamon." he thought. " He smells like roses." they both let out a content sigh.
