The voices belonged to none other than Koga and Anzu with Leon, running toward them. They all waved to them in response. As soon as Koga and the others arrived at where the crew was sitting, Leon pounced onto Sakura.

"Awww, hi there, Leon!" Sakura giggled as she pet the playful dog. "Has Koga caused any trouble when I was gone?" She said, looking at the dog.

"SHUT IT YOU!"

Anzu giggled and then looked at Kaoru.

"Looks like we finally found you."

"Yup, here I am. I'm sorry for how I was acting before." Kaoru then looked at Sakura and sweetly smiled at her. "I'm better now." Then, Sakura looked away to hide her blush, which made Kanata giggle.

"Well, time to go back to the studio and apologize to Sena-kun too." Kaoru said with a smirk.

"Go get 'em, Kaoru-kun!" Sakura cheered.

Kaoru chuckled and nodded his head in return. "Hey Doggie, Kanata-kun, what are you guys going to do now?"

Koga smirked and said, "I'm not leaving until the best photos for Leon's omai are taken."

"I plan to spend some more time here as well~," Kanata said as he averted his gaze to the ocean.

"Don't enter the ocean! Who knows what's in it..." Anzu warned Kanata.

"Thank you for your concern~I'll stay right here in the sand," Kanata said assuringly.

Suddenly, Anzu's phone rang.

"Hello?" She answered. It was her mom.

"Wait, seriously? But mom, the photoshoot is today, remember?....fine, bye." Anzu sighed and hung up her phone.

"My mom wants me to pick up my little sister since she and my dad have to work overtime," Anzu said, which made everyone shocked.

"So wait, who's going to be the bride?" Koga asked.

Kaoru then walked toward Sakura, stopped in front of her and said,

"Sakura-chan."

"..............." Sakura blinked for a couple of minutes before realizing what Kaoru just said.

"EEEEEHHHH?!" She exclaimed as her cheeks turned red.

Kanata and Anzu giggled at how cute her reaction was while Koga was almost about to hurl.

"But, Kaoru-kun..." Sakura said while she looked into his eyes. "Why me?"

Kaoru chuckled and pulled her closer to him. "Well, you're just my type of girl. For one, you're smart and hard-working, kind and gentle. You're strong and optimistic, never letting anyone get you down. All in all, you're beautiful...the perfect girl to act as my bride."

Sakura widened her eyes, stunned by what he said.

Kaoru then started to stroke her cheek. "I love you, Sakura...I always have. I just didn't know when to confess to you...but I feel that..."

Suddenly, Kaoru and Sakura leaned in with their eyes closed.

"This was the perfect chance to tell you," Kaoru whispered as he was inches away from kissing her.

Then, Sakura and Kaoru closed the gap between their lips and kissed each other gently. During the kiss, Sakura cupped his cheeks with her hands while Kaoru stroked her hair with his free hand. 

"I can't believe...my dream came true." 

Soon, they parted and blushing lightly, Kaoru asked, "Will you go out with me..and be my bride for the photoshoot, Sakura?"

Sakura smiled sweetly and said, "Of course I will, Kaoru...I love you..."
