"Ah... Then let's do the family one... I know it is a wound that brings strife and I would like to help with that." She said with conviction.

"But to take you home to my family we would already need to be engaged. I don't suppose you would be willing to marry me and let me owe you for the last task?"

Bai took his hands and sighed. "It is this one's hope... that such engagement are viewed by the Shika and come true."

"I'm sorry, i should stop dwelling on this, by this time tomorrow we will know for sure." he sighed and tried to change the subject. "Oh. We never went out and got you rabbit or the cage for one did we?"

"We didn't. like I told you yesterday you've been so busy that well... time just flew by." She nodded. "We can try tomorrow... I got little Sora san. It has the cutest little blue eyes."

"Oh you did get a friend, that's wonderful. Sora eh? Perhaps he would like a little ribbon and name tag he can wear as a collar?"

"I... I would want to wait on that..." She sighed. "I feel sorry for the little guy after a few days... it had kept me company but It looks so lonely... So I made a promise... to let it go at the end of the miai if things are..." She took a breath.

He took her hand. "If things are what? You can tell me."

"I don't know if I want to part with Sora..." She sighed. "Perhaps Murato san would understand."

"Oh so he helped you find him? What would he need to understand, you changing your mind and keeping it? You just need to find it another friend is all. Maybe we can go out and find one."
