Prologue:

It was the most likely the girl's hair that enticed the guardian to step away from 
her post. The widened stance of the guardian made the girl smile as she held out the
pink rose that the guardian had given her earlier. "I love you Death-sama."

The guardian smiled as she stepped forward and took hold of the girl's waist. 
"I love you too Kari."

"Be mine?" She asked as she ran her fingers of her right hand through the guardian's
snow white hair.

"You know you do not have to ask."

"I know...I know you told me last night. You told me how much you love me." Kari
replied with a blush.

The guardian smiled at her mate, "I remember it as well. I remember how beautiful
you were in my arms."

Kari leaned against Pyrite's chest. "Oh I love you Pyrite."

Pyrite couldn't help but be happy. "I love you too."

"Where are we to go after we get married?"

"You and I are both going to live on the outskirts of the city. It will be beautiful
love. We will live in a house and you will have a beautiful flower garden. What do
you think about that love?"

Kari smiled. "I love that. Will the house be a recreation of our palace?"

"Somewhat. I want the house to be simpler. We don't want to alert everyone to the
fact that we are going to be living there. I want privacy my love." Pyrite
explained.

She nodded fervently in agreement. "I agree Pyrite. We need privacy. Especially
away from Rare!"

Pyrite smiled at her partner for life. "Oh Kari. You really shouldn't worry about
Rare. She will never take me away."

Kari hugged her partner. "I never know though."

"You should never worry about anyone else." She told her.

Kari hugged even tighter. "Oh Pyrite-sama. I love you."

Pyrite smiled softly at her mate and said, "You are mine forever. Forever my Kari."
