201 Precious

"I will never be with anyone other than you no matter how many times we die and be born again. I will always follow your soul and be with you…"

Homura Ryuu's words were like a warm hand wiping away all the insecurities and worries that Suzuki Ara was feeling right now. She knew that it was only temporary. There would always be concerns and other thoughts that would cloud her mind and affect her way of thinking.

But because Kou, her husband was here with her now, Ara knew that no matter what the future would bring them, they could weather it together. She's no longer alone in this world. She had a new family in Aki, new friends with Rin and the others, and now, she had a new anchor, her man, her husband.

Tears welled in her eyes, but they were tears of happiness. Ryuu misunderstood, however.

"Why are you still crying?" he asked softly as he wiped her tears away with his thumbs. "Is my promise not enough?" he teased, making her laugh in spite of her tears.
