Exam Day
Here marks the beginning of the end. Today was exam day. Kagome and
Ryo shared a kiss together.
“Good luck,” she said.
“Thanks,” he said. The couple headed off to school.
Inside, Keiko saw the whole thing. A curious look came onto her
face.
“Michi-chan,” she said. She found her daughter in the
dining room. Michiko looked over the menu.
“Hm?” she asked. Keiko leaned against her
doorframe.
“How close are Ryo-kun and Kagome-chan?” the old lady
asked. Her daughter paused.
“They are close,” she said.
“How close?” Keiko asked.
“Why do you ask?”
The old lady pressed her lips together. “Why do you ask
them?” The bride-to-be turned around.
“Why?” she asked.
“Just talk to them,” Keiko said. She turned and walked
away. Michiko stared with a curious look on her face.

At school, the students walked in ready to face the world. Ryo and
Kagome held hands as they walked inside.
“Remember what I said,” Kagome whispered. Ryo
nodded.
“I know,” he said. Both went to their respective
classes.
Good luck, they thought to each other.
----------
Their love became the motive to complete their exams. Ryo buried
himself in his test. He could wait to see his Kagome in her wedding
dress.
She couldn't wait to break the news to their parents after this
exam. Kagome didn't even have a ring. She wanted a fat diamond on
her finger. Ryo kissed her on the forehead.
“I will get you one after our exams,” he promised her.
So much rode on after their exams.
It wasn't just them.
Seiho had secured Setsuna's love. But he still had to prove himself
in a way. She wasn't the only motive either.
I'm tired of being the joke. I can be quite serious. If I don't
shape up today, I'll be left behind.
Seiho burned himself into his exams. Setsuna would definitely grace
through this.
---------
By three o'clock, testing was over. Ryo took Kagome by the
hand.
“Ready to go?” he asked.
“Are we going to tell them?” she asked. Her fiancé
sighed.
“Yes, yes,” Ryo said. “We will tell them
together.” Kagome squealed as she hugged him wildly.
“I love you,” she said. Her fiancé smiled.
“Yes, yes,” he said. Better get this over with.
----------
When Ryo and Kagome got home, they found Hideki, Michiko, Keiko,
and Makoto waiting in the living room. The boy looked around at
their families.
“Hey, everyone…” he said. “What's with the
serious looks?” Hideki rose to his feet.
“Son,” he said. “Is something you and Kagome need
to tell us?” Ryo hesitated at first.
“Uh…” he said. Kagome backed up behind her
fiancé. He remembered his promise and grabbed her hand.
“Yes!” Ryo announced. “Kagome-chan and I are
getting married!”
