The Seventh Player

Three Years Later

[Kimiko]

I walked in the park, with cherry blossoms flying through the air and scattering as they fall from the trees in full bloom.

It's been three years, and I graduated from Rakuzan, aling with Seijuro. Im dating him, since he is my fiancee.

I walked into the basketball court, and let my sports bag down, and put my towel on the bag. I grabbed my basketball, and dribbled it onto the court.

I shot three pointers, half courts, lay ups, two pointers, and you name it. I practiced my new move. The Dance of the Tigeress.

I faked right and spinned around, faked left and spinned, then jump shot at the basket. I sighed, and smiled.

"Oh, I see thats your new move", someone said. I jumped up in suprise, until a pair of arms wrapped themselves around me.

"You know, you don't have to practice so hard, since your profession is a WNBA basketball player".

I turned around and saw the man I love. Akashi Seijuro. He smiled gently at me, with his red and yellow eyes. My blue and silver eyes met his, and stared into each other.

"Come on, lets play one on one", Seijuro insisted. I groaned, kbowing he'll just win. He surpassed me, and theres nothing I can do.

"You know you'll win...", I muttered. He smirked as I dribbled the ball, and used my new move.

Dance of the Tigress', I thought. I faked right, spinned, and did the same to the left. I jumped and shot the ball, as Seijuro stood in shock.

"That's a pretty effective move you got there", he said. He caught the ball and dribbled to the other side of the court.

He shot a three pointer, and turned to face me. I walked past Seijuro, to get the ball, until my wrist was pulled.

"Seijuro?", I asked. He pulled me into a hug, and kisses me on my lips. My eyes widened, until I closed my eyes, and hugged him back.

We broke the kiss, and Seijuro kneeled down, facing me. My mind was blank, in confusion.

"Kimiko Yukimura, would you please give me the honor of marrying me?", he asked, as he opened a beautiful silver and turquoise colored ring box, and opened it. It revealed a silver ring with a deep royal blue sapphire in it.

Tears formed in my eyes, as I smiled. I nodded, and hugged Seijuro. He took the ring out of the box, and slipped it on to my left ring finger.

"You are forever mine, understand? You will be Kimiko Akashi, my wife", Seijuro said, with seriousness. I nodded, and kissed him, as the cherry blossoms fell to the ground.

"I love you", I whispered. My long silver hair flew in the light breeze, as he hugged me, and rested his head on my shoulders. His red hair flew in the wind, as the trees swayed with the wind.

The church bells rang as the wedding ceremony began. I walked through the grand doors, with my simple wedding dress, walking towards the priest, and my lover, Akashi Seijuro. He wore a white suit, with a red rose.

Once I reached the steps, I stopped and faced Seijuro. The priest began to speak the words, and I was caught in Seijuro's gaze. He gave me a heart warming look, and mouthed the words, 'you look beautiful.

"Akashi Seijuro, do you take Yukimura Kimiko as your beloved wife, and care for her through sick and sadness?", the priest asked. Akashi Seijuro smiled, and smirked at me.

"Yes, I do".

"Yukimura Kimiko, do you take Akashi Seijuro as your beloved husband, and care for him through sick and sadness?", the priest asked again. I looked at Seijuro, as he motioned for me to go on.

"Yes, I do".

"You may kiss the bride", the priest announced. Seijuro took me into an embrace and kissed me on the lips, passionately. My face turned bright red, as Seijuro's father smiled, and my father stood in the back, and our mothers were crying with joy.

"Your name is Akashi Kimiko, now. You're mine only, my wife", Seijuro said as he smirked. I laughed and nodded.

"Yes, yes. I know I'm your wife. Come on, we have to go!", I said while grinning. Seijuro picked me up bridle style, and ran towards the white limo out of the church. I threw my bouquet, and girls screamed for it. The crowd cheered as Seijuro and I ran into the limo, and waved.

This is my life, and my story.
