5 days. That was all it took for him to move on and find someone else behind her back.
After moving to Dubai, the bidders and Sakura had been more at ease than before, and Soryu and Sakura have been in a happy relationship. They didn't spend as much...
By the time they finished their picnic, dance and long conversations, it was 11:50. Normally, Sakura would be efficient with this, but now, she didn't mind it so much that it took so long for her to finish eating or doing so many dances. Kioshi made everything seem so short.
By the time they finished their last dance, it was 5 minutes. Just as Kioshi had planned.
He spun Sakura around once more, making sure he gestured to the man by the keyboard to change the song while Sakura's back was turned. As the song ended and the last few chords faded, Kioshi pulled his girlfriend close and breathed in her scent, mentally preparing himself for his next move.
The man played another song and Sakura smiled, ready to dance again, when she felt Kioshi pull away. Confused, she looked up to him, only to find him smiling down gently at her. He suddenly began singing along to the song that was beautifully played in the background.
Puzzled but happy, the former hacker gave a bashful smile as she looked down to her feet.
"Say the words you long to whisper, that I want to hear..."
"Something's on your mind, is it hidden in your smile...?~"
"Be my lady..."
She felt him move and she found a white rose in front of her. She looked up to him as he continued singing, taking the rose graciously. As the chorus began, she felt him wrap his arms around her waist, silently asking for another dance. She accepted by hooking her arms around his necks, slowly swaying to the music as he continued to sing softly.
They didn't move around much, just practically swaying to the music slowly in one spot.
"Just forget the past, it's time to mend your broken heart..."
She felt tears come to her eyes slightly at those lyrics, reminding her of Soryu for a brief moment. Then she heard the tempo slow slightly and she guessed the song was nearing it's end. Kioshi moved away slightly as he continued singing.
"Be my lady, let the sunshine through your heart and make a brand new start..."
"Stay with me each night and day, through the rest of my life, just like a work of art~"
"My love will last until forever... Just like a work of art, my love will last until... forever..."
As he sang those words, he reached for something in his pocket before turning back to her with a small box. He opened it, as he finished the last few lyrics and the song ends. Inside was a beautiful ring with an exquisite, unique design.

She gasped quietly, the few tears in her eyes falling, followed by more. Sakura was a smart girl, not much in love, but even she was smart to know where this was leading to... He wasn't...
"Sakura, I know we haven't been together for long. Not as long as many couples who are engaged... But I've been by your side long enough, as a friend and as a lover, to know that you're the girl who I want to marry and protect and love for the rest of my life."
