(Still on Angela's POV)

(Present time)

After that day, Rioichi and I were closer than ever. I moved from the spare bedroom and shared the bedroom with Rioichi. I have never been happier and I never want it to end. After I said "yes" Rioichi gave me a cane that looked very much like his own, except this one had Japanese engraving on the staff of the cane. After asking Rioichi, I found that the inscription read "To the sakura flower of my life, Aishiteru (Translate: I love you) in japanese." It was the greatest gift anyone could ever give me. Our bond is stronger than ever. I can sense whenever Rioichi is in trouble or is upset and he can sense me. Although I can sense that Rioichi is upset about what I have told him, I do not bother him about it because he will tell me when he is ready. Just like when I tell him things whenever I am ready. Everything is so perfect now. However, I can feel that something is lurking in the shadows. Something is about to happen, and it scares me. I am worried that I will separate from Rioichi. Little did I know that this would happen very soon.

A/N: This is the picture of Angela Nidaros' Cane (Gift from Rioichi Cooper) I made. The inscription in japanese on this cane is in the color of light gray.

(Rioichi's POV)

It has been five months since Angel-chan revealed everything to me and has become my mate. Life could not be any more perfect. Though, I still think about everything she told me after. Part of me feels grateful that my descendant did not bond with Angela, for if he did, then I wouldn't have met my beloved mate. But the other part of me is enraged that my mate was treated like this. It is completely dishonorable. If my descendant was a true Cooper, he would not let his best friend suffer like Angela has suffered. If I ever get the opportunity to meet him, I will give my descendant a piece of my mind. I may be a ninja master and not allow little things like this upset me, but I could care less at this present time. No one harms my love in any form and gets away with it. If I ever meet my descendant, he will endure an earful from me. Little did I know that I would get the opportunity to encounter my descendant in a short period of time. Not to mention that I could sense trouble was approaching quickly.

My thoughts were interrupted when a certain beloved mate of mine wrapped her arms around me from behind.

"What are you thinking about so hard, Rioichi? And don't lie to me and say nothing." I laughed and shook my head as I turned around to pull her in my arms. Angela could always sense when something is troubling me.

"I am only thinking about everything you went through to get here with me. I am so enraged at my descendant that he caused you so much pain. And yet, I am grateful that he didn't bond with you. Because then I would not have met you and feel so complete."

I turn around to face Angel-chan and she is wearing fading purple color kimono that I bought for her is for the day at the Sushi House Shop restaurant.

A/N: This is the picture of Angela's Fading Purple Color Kimono with multiple light pink sakura flowers on it with a few of light pink sakura petals, a pink color sakura painted obi and dark purple obijime (decorative braided cord) I found online. I edited the picture of hands and small part of the neck in Angela's dark brown-furred color. Also I add Angela's tail with dark gray rings on and white tabi (traditional japanese socks) and purplish blue zōri straps on the bottom of the zōri is dark red (traditional japanese sandals) on her feet to look like in this story.

She smiled and laid her head on my chest as I laid my cheek on top of her head.

"I admit that I was furious that he hurt me like that all because of him loving another. But now, I wouldn't have it any other way. If he hadn't ignored the bond, I wouldn't be here with you and happier than I have ever been." She said.

I pulled her face to mine and my lips met hers. With one swipe of my tongue, she let me in and our tongues tangled together. I felt her fingers stroke my tail fur and I moaned as her hands moved to the front and grasped my ninja outfit. I heard her moan as I wrapped my tail around her waist and touched her tail with mine. We kissed for a few minutes before we needed to breathe. We just stood there wrapped in each other's arms smiling at each other.

"I can still tell that something is bothering you." Angela said after a short moment.

I sighed and looked deep in her eyes.

"I can sense that something is coming, Angel-chan. Something that will disrupt our peace. And I am worried that you will get hurt." Her eyes widened as I told her what I felt.

"I can feel it too, Rioichi-san. And it scares me." Her voice was shaking. I hugged her as close as possible.

"We must not let this interrupt our lives Watashi no ai (Translate: My love). Whatever is approaching, we shall face together." I said as I stroked the fur on her head.

"Hai (Translate: Yes), together." She said with a gentle smile.

After that, we went to our living area with our tails wrapped around each other and holding paws ready to turn in for the night. As usual we fell asleep in each other's arms. I stayed awake a little bit longer while thinking, "No matter what happens Angel-chan, I will always be here to love and protect you." Then I fell asleep with my mate in my arms.
