The wind blew the leaves silently as, Niji Hikari continued to exit the palace alone. She headed over to the village To see lots of markets selling all kinds of food. Niji Hikari stepped over to the closest one handing the man money. The man had short black hair, brown eyes, brown shoes and, he was wearing a white kimono. "A small loaf of bread please." Niji Hikari smiled trying not to let her hurt show but all she could feel was the emptiness in her heart believing the man of her dreams will never come.

"Here you go." The nice man said giving her a small loaf of bread. "Thank you." Niji Hikari said exiting the market. She headed over to her house and she suddenly dropped her bread onto the ground. She stood there frozen and immediately felt her heart sank as if, she saw one of her old loved ones. Her eyes teared and she felt like something was caught in her trout.

Niji Hikari saw the handsome emperor with his brown horse. He wore his long blond hair down. He wore light purple cloths and light purple slippers. He was holding a small cherry blossom tree branch in one of his hands. "Niji?" Ryuki got of his horse and slowly stepped forward holding up the cherry blossom branch to her. "It's ok. I forgive you." He slowly pulls her to him holding her in a romantic way. 

Niji Hikari slowly looked up at him. She could feel her heart beginning to beat faster as, her eyes began to tear. She felt as if the front of her house just got hotter. "But I thought you didn't want me anymore?" Ryuuki Shi looked at her feeling sorry for the poor lady who only loved him for him. "Niji?" Ryuuki Shi holds her closer to him. "It's ok. You only did it because you wanted me to love you for you and how foolish I was to not notice you for the beautiful and kind loving woman you are. I love you." He leans towards her and pressed his lips up against hers.

He helped her get on his horse and got on holding her towards him. They rode away together heading back to the palace.

As Ryuuki Shi and Niji Hikari reached the palace, everyone came out of the palace doors with joy and laughter. " I KNEW HE TRULY LOVED HER!" Warai cheered with joy. Shuuei Ran stood beside Zara and Warai with his arms crossed. "WOW! HE WENT ALL THE WAY TO HER HOME TO SEE HER! HE MUST REALLY LOVE HER!" Koyuu Li turns to him with confusion. "What are you talking about?" Shuuei Ran crosses his arms again closing his yes for a few seconds. "Oh come on. Don't tell me you didn't notice." "SHUT UP!" Koyuu Li cried making fists in anger.

As Ryuuki Shi and Niji Hikari were sitting on their horse. They touched noses side to side. 

Zara turns to Shuuei Ran beginning to blush. She sighed and slowly approached him. "So." She crosses her arms. "Since you bravely fought along side me and protected me well even though I didn't need it. I suppose one little date wouldn't be bad enough." The black hair man frowned. "Well that is very thoughtful of you but." He slowly turned away from her. "I'm in love with another woman." Shuuei Ran looked at a beautiful brown haired woman dressed in green and white cloths.

Zara looks down at the ground as, Shuuei Ran left her alone. "Oh." Seiran was looking roses and daisies in his hands seeing Zara frowning with sadness. He slowly approached her and handed her flowers. Zara smiled with with relief. "Oh my hero." Warai said looking away with his arms crossed.

Ryuuki Shi and Niji Hikari got of the horse together. "It's like a fairytale ending." Niji Hikari said blushing. "Better. It's real." Ryuuki Shi slowly held her towards him and pressed his lips against hers as, everyone cheered with joy throwing fake cherry blossoms at them.

Kuro watched from a distance giggling on a tree branch along side her lover Ryuuren Ran sitting beside her playing his flute silently.

The next morning came as, Niji Hikari was laying in the bed and as, she slowly rose, she felt as if, a rock was sitting in her stomach. Niji Hikari headed towards the mirror and she slowly  looked down at her stomach.

Niji Hikari slowly lifted her clothes. Her eyes widen with surprise. Her stomach was round like a ball.

The door swung open and Ryuuki Shi quickly rushed in with worry. "What's wrong?"

Niji Hikari slowly continued looking at the mirror showing him. "It can't be." Ryuuki Shi slowly stepped forward and hugged Niji Hikari. The beautiful princess turned to him with shock.
