Part 3
…

So the two ladies and their younger daughter left for dinner. However none of them knew where in Tokyo they were going! Kaorin was driving since Kagura didn’t know how to drive. In fact it is weird to say that Kagura did know how to drive but was too traumatized by it to get her actual license.

…
Flashback to the driving test.
…

“Okay Kagura-san, nice and slow start…” the driving instructor said.

“O-okay…” Kagura said incredibly nervous.

She hit the gas just a bit and started off smooth. As she got into traffic, however, Kagura panicked, braked fast and tons of cars behind them crashed.

Kagura rubbed the back of her head. “Aheheh…guess this means no license huh…can…I get another chance another day?” She asked

The instructor looked at her with coffee streaming down his face.

Kagura chuckled nervously. “Nope…didn’t think so…” she said.
…

Back to the present.

…

After a while Kaorin remembered a great place to go.

“Finally know where we’re going to go!” Kaorin said as she turned down a street and parked in front of the restaurant.

Koharu and Kagura looked at the sign.

“Fancy!! Restaurant?” Koharu and Kagura asked together.

“Hai! Remember Kagura? This is where Joe-san proposed to Sakaki-san! It’s pretty expensive but Joe-san knows them very well so they’re giving us a discount!” Kaorin said smiling.

Kagura thought for a second. “Oh yeah! I remember now! That was when Tomo told Sakaki that Joe was going to say he was gay right? Hahaha!” she replied laughing.

Koharu was confused. “Kaori-kaa-san what does “proposed” mean?” she asked tilting her head.

Kaori smiled at her daughter. “It means to ask someone if they want to marry you officially. Like I did with Natsuko.” She said blushing.

“Ohh! Okay!” Koharu said. A second later her stomach rumbled and Kagura laughed.

“Well I guess we should get inside huh? Sounds like our little girl is a bit hungry!” Kagura said.

They entered into the restaurant and Kaorin went to the talk to the man in front.

“Hello do you have a reservation?” The man asked.

‘Crap!’ Kaorin thought. ‘I forgot you need to reserve beforehand!’

“Uh…no I didn’t…this was kind of a spur of the moment thing…see it’s…” Kaorin started to say but moved closer and quieted her voice down. “It’s  kind of our wedding anniversary…” She said.

“Wedding anniversary huh?” the man asked.

A waitress came up to the man. “Sir we have a problem at table 5…oh! Hello there! You’re friends with that guy Joe right?” the waitress asked.

Kaorin nodded. “I am…you know Joe?” she asked.

The waitress nodded. “Yes I do! In fact he was here the night he asked his wife to marry him! The tip he gave was very generous…he called me and told me about you guys and told me that you might come here. The name’s Rei.” She said bowing.

Kaorin also bowed. “Kaorin Aida-Kagura! Please to meet you Rei-san!” she said politely.

“Okay I’ll show you to our table then! And as a special treat you’ll get our special waitress as well! Joe-san sent ahead a tip so don’t worry about your order being super expensive” Rei said.

Kaorin smiled and motioned for Kagura and Koharu to follow. ‘Thanks so much Joe…you’re so nice’ Kaorin thought to herself.

As they got into their tables they ordered their food and drinks. Koharu got a lemonade while Kagura and Koharu got some wine.

“Your food should be ready in about 15 minutes! Oh and we have the best cook in the house going to make your food so don’t worry.” Rei said winking and heading into the kitchen.

…

She headed back to the area with the “special” cook. A young woman, about 20 years old, was walking with a lot of pots and pans stacked in front of her.

“Oh jeez…Shinobu why do you always do that?” Rei asked her.

Shinobu accidentally dropped all the pots and pans onto the floor, some of which barely missed her and Rei’s feet.

“Oh dear…I better clean this up fast!” Shinobu said picking up the cooking objects.

“Don’t worry about them now Shinobu. We have a couple in here with their young daughter. They’re friends with Joe-san…remember him?” Rei asked.

Shinobu gasped. “Oh my! How could I not remember him! I still have some money left over from his tip!” she said smiling. “I already know exactly where you’re going with this Rei-chan! Don’t worry!”

Rei smiled. ‘Shinobu’s so kind’ she thought.

Rei handed Shinobu the order for Koharu, Kagura, and Kaorin. In a record 5 minutes the food was done.

“Wow! Shinobu that was the fastest I’ve ever seen anyone cook!” Rei said shocked.

Shinobu just smiled happily. “I know! Hehehe!” She said giggling.

…
Meanwhile…
…

Around the corner from where the Aida-Kaguras were sitting a few familiar faces were waiting patiently…except for one…

“How much longer do we have to wait Yomi? I’m so bored!” A woman said.

“Not much longer Tomo…now will you please be patient!” Yomi said irritated slightly.

“I can’t wait to see Koharu-chan! It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other!” a young girl, Tomo and Yomi’s child, said happily.

“M-me too…” A young girl, about the same age as Koharu said softly, her tail waving under her.

“Don’t worry girls…you’ll see her soon.” A tall woman said kindly.

“Yeah! Don’t worry Nekosa and Koyomiko! She’ll be happy to see you too!” The man next to the tall woman said.

“I can’t wait to see them either! I wonder how they have been doing!” Another woman about 20 said.

“Ah wonder if Kagura-san still has that tan…ah remember her in high school. She seemed like she played it real loose back then!” a woman sitting next to the other girl said.

“O-osaka-san you still confuse me….” The woman next to her said.

“Fuhgeddaboutit!” Osaka said and suddenly stared off into space.

Yomi shook her head. “Don’t worry about her Chiyo-chan…she’s still the same as a while back…unfortunately that’s kind of a bad thing.” She said sighing.

Chiyo giggled. “Yeah I know…same old Osaka-san.” She said.

The only guy there looked around the corner and saw that the Aida-Kaguras got their food.

“Alright they have their food so only a few minutes more.” He said. “Say Chiyo-chan, Osaka…where’s Shaun and Arata?”

Chiyo sighed sadly. “He had to work a bit late…he’ll be here soon I think…wait scratch that.” She looked at her cell phone which she got a text message on. “He’s right outside…he’s going to be here in a minute.” She said happier.

Osaka sighed too. “Arata wasn’t feeling good so he’s staying home.” She said.

Suddenly they heard a boom outside…

“What the…” the tall woman said puzzled.

“Don’t worry Sakaki-chan…probably just Arata-san sneezing again.” Osaka said.

“Same old Arata…hasn’t changed much huh?” the man said leaning onto his wife shoulder, causing both of them to blush.

“A lot of us haven’t changed…you’re still the same Joe…” A voice from behind said.

Chiyo jumped up and ran behind Joe, hugging the voice behind. “About time you showed up Shaun!” She said giggling.

“Yeah…they kept me so long tonight…so I see our lovers are almost done with their food…maybe we should go surprise them now?” Shaun said smiling.

Everyone nodded and started walking to the table.

…

“Yummy! That food was so good!” Kagura said.

“You bet it was!” Kaorin said as well.

“Some of it was a bit weird tasting…is this a string?” Koharu said picking up something and putting it on her napkin.

Rei gasped. “Oops….sorry little girl….gotta tell Shinobu to be more careful.” She said.

Rei looked to the side and saw Joe, Chiyo, Osaka, Sakaki, Nekosa, Koyomiko, Shaun, Tomo, and Yomi walking towards the table where she was.

“Oh! Looks like you have some company here…” Rei said smiling and walked off to another table.

“Happy Anniversary you guys!” the group said to Kaorin and Kagura.

Kagura, Kaorin, and Koharu looked next to them startled. They all gasped, smiled, and got up, hugging their friends.

“You guys! What are you doing here!” Kagura asked happily.

“You don’t think we’d miss your anniversary do you? Sure I had to work a bit longer but it’s okay…” Shaun said winking at Kaorin.

“Oh…yeah…I’ll finish anything you need me to tomorrow at work.” Kaorin said with a light blush.

Chiyo smiled. “Don’t worry about it Kaorin…Shaun said he got you a day off!” she said happily.

Kagura and Koharu smiled. “YAY!!! Kaori-kaa-san can stay home tomorrow!!!” Koharu said giggling.

Koyomiko and Nekosa popped up behind Koharu and hugged her. “Koharu-chan!” Koyomiko said happily.

Nekosa blushed and hugged Koharu tighter. “I missed you a lot Koharu…” she said.

Koharu giggled and hugged them back and scratched behind Nekosas’ ears, causing her to purr.

The whole restaurant, which was watching the group silent, suddenly broke out into a giant ‘Awww’ as Nekosa was purring.

“Happy Anniversary!” the Azu-girls and guys said as well as the rest of the restaurant.

Shinobu brought out some ice cream for the whole group. “There you guys go!” she said smiling.

“Oh…uh Shinobu…this young girl found this in her food.” Rei said showing Shinobu the string.

Shinobu blushed dark red and gasped. “Oh my gosh I’m so sorry!” She said bowing.

“It’s okay Miss Cook Lady.” Koharu said smiling.

Shinobu bowed to Koharu. “How about Shinobu instead of that?” she said which caused everyone to laugh.

…

A while later everyone left the restaurant, Koharu, Kagura, and Kaorin leaving last.

“Mmmm that was such a good dinner!” Koharu said happily. Then she yawned.

“Well looks like you’re tired already hun…we should get home and get to bed.”

“Awww but it’s only 7:30! Can’t I play some more on the Wii?” Koharu whined.

Kagura giggled. “Sorry Koharu but we don’t want you all tired for tomorrow when we go to…Magical Land!” she said happily.

“M-MAGICAL LAND!!!!” Koharu said happily.

Kagura and Kaorin giggled at the cuteness of their daughter then hugged her tightly.

“We love you Koharu!” Kagura and Kaorin said smiling.

“I love you too Kaori-kaa-san! Love you too Natsuko-mama!” Koharu said smiling.

…

Later

…

Koharu was in bed, dreaming. While Kagura and Kaorin were in their bedroom getting ready for bed.

“The dinner with you and Koharu…that was amazing Kaori.” Kagura said.

Kaorin blushed lightly. “I know…” She replied, smiling at her lover. “Being together for this long…it’s been heaven.”

This time was Kagura’s turn to blush. She walked forward, still in her dress, slipping it off slowly.

Kaorin couldn’t help but stare. She walked forward slowly, wrapped her arms around Kagura’s neck, and kissed her.

“Happy Anniversary Natsuko…” Kaorin said smiling and blushing.

Kagura had undressed Kaorin now, blushing and smiling back. “Happy Anniversary Kaori…” She replied.

The End.
