Toshi was doing some late-minute paperwork when Miyo knocked. "Yes, come in, please," he said. Miyo opens the door and comes in, holding the braided rope. "I made you something.. I do hope you like it," she said, placing it in front of her. He looked at it. "Do you mind putting it in my hair," he asked. Miyo smiled brightly and did so. "Thank you. I will cherish it forever," he said. She smiles. "May I sleep next to you again tonight?" she asks. He nodded. "Of course," he said, and they laid down and fell asleep. She woke before him and went to make breakfast. Soji walked in and went up to Toshi's room. Toshi was waking up. Soji saw the hair tai. "That is beautiful. Where did you get it," he said, touching it. Toshi smiles. "Miyo made it," he said. Soji smiles. "Wow, she is amazing," he said. "Soji Yuki told me she ran into you in town yesterday. Did you happen to use your gift," he asks, getting dressed. Soji looks away. "Maybe that girl was being mean to Miyo," he said. "I only told her to know her station when speaking to your soon-to-be wife," he said. Toshi smiles. "Thank you for helping Soji," he said. Toshi's hair was in a high ponytail with the rope Miyo had made him. Miyo knocks. "Mr. Hijikata, I packed your lunch," she said, sliding over the bento box. Toshi picked it up. "Thank you, love," he said. Soji smiles, hearing the nickname and following him. Toshi went to work, and he kept getting compliments on his hair tai. He unwrapped his lunch and smiled, seeing his favorite. Soji smiles, seeing it. "She likes you, sir," he said. Toshi nods and eats. "I like her too," he said. Soji smiles happily. "I am happy seeing you happy, sir," Soji said. Toshi reached and touched the rope "Soji, I found my wife. I can't let her ever be sad," he said. "She means too much. I only want to see her smile and laugh," he said. Soji smiles happily, hearing him. "Oh right, Miyo's father would like to stop by your house tonight to apologize," he said. Toshi nods. "Good, he made the proper choice," he said. "Tell him 8 pm," he said, standing up. Soji nodded and did so. "also, Soji could you pick up the dresses and inform Miyo there is a stop I need to make," Toshi said. Soji nods and takes the slip so the dressmaker knows what to give him. Soji went off. Soji was waiting. "Fuck, how many," he said, holding all the boxes. "Okay, Toshi, chill," Soji mumbled and walked to the car and drove to Toshis mansion. He got out and walked in. "Miss Miyo, your kimonos are here," Soji said. Miyo helped him, and she was hanging them up. "Mr.Hijikata would like you to wear one. Your family is stopping by to speak to you and the master," Soji said. Miyo nods and picks the gold and white one, and Soji nods and lets her dress alone. Toshi comes in and looks. "She is getting ready," he asks. Soji nods. "Come with me," Toshi said, pulling him into his room. "Sir, what's wrong," he asks. "She has stated she would like to see my hair braided," he said. Soji got behind him and braided his hair into a nice bun and tied it with the rope Miyo made. "all done fuck. Your hair is thick," he said. He looked. "Thanks," he said and changed into a lovely gold and blue kimono and sat down. Miyo knocks. "Master Hijikata," she said. Soji smiles and opens the door. "Please have a seat next to the master," Soji said. Miyo nods and goes. She saw his bun. "I love your hair," Miyo noted."Thank you Soji did it for me to surprise you," he said. Yuki brought up Miyos mom and dad. They saw her in a lovely kimono, and her dad was taken back. He sat down. "Don't you have something to say to My Wife to Be?" Toshi asked. Soji was there to keep him in check. Her dad and mom bow and apologize for how they treated her. "Where is Kaya" Toshi said. "We didn't know she had to come," Miyos dad said. "She is the one who caused the most damage," Toshi said. Miyo touched his hand, which was in a fist, and his knuckles started to turn white. He relaxed at her touch. He looked at her. Miyo bows. "Thank you for your apology, but I am happy with Master Hijikata, and he treats me so nicely and respects me, so there is no need to worry," she said. Soji smiles, hearing how humble she just sounded. Toshi held her hand.
