Author's Note: Hello, everyone! My name is Yuri and this is my first Asuka x Homura fanfic! I would like to thank EasyGo-san for encouraging me to write a story for this pairing. Some of the chapters will be short, but most of them will be for a reason. And I want to make this as long as possible since, well, readers want to see what an engaged couple does throughout their everyday lives.

So, I hope you all enjoy this story~!

19-year-old Asuka waits by the docks one late afternoon with everyone else around her. She had been wanting to go on this date for a while since it's their anniversary of when they first met. And Homura promised her to meet her in a few minutes. The granddaughter of Master Hanzo breathes in the fresh air while closing her eyes and smiles.

"What a beautiful day," she says to herself.

While waiting for her girlfriend to arrive, she looks down and takes hold of a locket that Homura gave her during their first date 3 years ago. It's a heart shaped locked with a tiny photo inserted inside of them together as a couple. Asuka blushes deeply while gazing at the picture. She could never forget the day that they wanted to take a photo together. However, it was all Asuka's idea.

**Flashback**

Asuka gently took her girlfriend's hand and pulled her next to her while holding out a camera.

The Hebijo girl giggled. "Asuka, what exactly are you doing?"

"We're taking a photo together, Homura-chan~!" Asuka replied. "We need to start making as much memories as we can since we're dating and all."

Homura nodded. "Alright. This will be our first ever photo on our first date." She walked over to the granddaughter of Hanzo and put an arm around her. "Alright then. Let's take the picture."

Asuka nodded as she hoheld up the camera with the lens pointed directly at them. With a simple flash of the camera, Asuka took the picture.

**End of Flashback**

"Homura-chan . . ." she whispers happily as she clutches the necklace.

"Asuka!" Homura calls.

The Hanzo Academy girl looks up to see her girlfriend approaching her with a smile on her face. She is wearing a black dress with brown high heels and the dress sways gracefully every step she takes while walking. Asuka's eyes stare at the beauty of the girl of Hebijo.

"Hey, Homura-chan," Asuka greets as she comes over to hug her girlfriend.

"Hi, Asuka," Homura greets back while returning the hug. "Did I make you wait long?"

"No, I just got here a few minutes early," the granddaughter of Hanzo replies.

"Ah, okay." Homura looks over to see other people boarding the ship. "Well then, shall we go?"

"Sure!"

The ninja couple take each other's hands and head towards the ship. It took about a good 15-20 minutes for everyone to get on board until the dock is empty. The honk of the horn is heard while the door is closed and the ship sets sail. Asuka and Homura go over to the edge of the boat to get a magnificent view of the ocean and the city in front of them. A light breeze blows past them, making their hair sway a little. Homura looks over at the granddaughter of Hanzo, who is enjoying the view. Her hand is secretly inside her bag, clutching a most precious item she has. Maybe now's not the time yet, she thinks to herself.

"Homura-chan!" Asuka exclaims while pointing at a building in front of her. "Look at this! It's Tokyo Tower! Remember when we went there that time?"

Homura nods. "Yes. I definitely remember. It was when we went on our second date."

"No, it was our third," Asuka corrects her girlfriend. "We went to the park that one time and you were, well, dressed in that french maid outfit."
Homura blushes. "D-don't mention that, please. It was already embarrassing enough just to walk to the park with people staring at me."

Asuka giggles. "But in the end, you told me that you had no regrets. It was worth dating you in that cute outfit. Oh, and you calling me 'Ojou-sama'. It was so cute when you suddenly acted like a real maid~!"

"I-I wore that for a reason, right? Isn't that what I told you?"

"That's right~! And you fed me the food you brought for the picnic, too. It was the best date ever."

Homura smiles as she keeps on blushing. She remembers very well that she had no regrets when she dated Asuka at the park. The two had enjoyed it regardless. The two continue to enjoy the wonderful boat cruise until the sun is setting. The cruise is about to end when Homura taps Asuka on the shoulder.

"Hm?" the Hanzo ninja maiden turns toward her girlfriend. "What is it, Homura-chan?"

"Can you come with me for a second?" Homura inquires.

"Oh, sure."

Asuka follows the Hebijo girl to the very front of the boat in the direction where the sun is, shining brightly upon the two maidens. Asuka tilts her head and gives an adorable confused look as Homura takes one hand in hers.

"Asuka," she says in a serious way. "I want to ask you something."

She takes out a small blue box and drops down to one knee. Asuka lets out an small gasp as small tears start to form in her eyes, knowing what her girlfriend is about to do.

"Asuka," Homura says in a loving, but serious tone. "We've once been enemies before and fought each other. However, after defeating Dougen and his goons, and surviving the fall of Hebijo, we became a couple. For the past three years, you and I have been a happy couple, just like the rest of our fellow shinobi. Now, here we are, three years later and still dating. I'm so happy to be with you." She holds out a diamond ring, sparkling in front of Asuka's widened eyes. "So, I'll ask you this: Asuka…will you marry me?"

It takes about a couple minutes for Asuka to process all that in her mind, those words that will last a life time. Happy tears spill from her eyes as she allows Homura to insert the ring on her ring finger as she puts her other hand on her mouth.

"H-Homura-chan…" she says. "Y-yes. A thousand times yes! You don't know how much I wanted this moment to happen!" She jumps into her girlfriends arms, kissing her in the process.

Homura immediately returns the kiss and wraps her arms around Asuka's waist. This kiss lasts for over a minute, but it's not just any kiss. It's a kiss that will be the most memorable of all from any date they had gone to. They pull away to catch their breath as they press their foreheads together.

"I love you, Asuka," she whispers. "With all my heart."

"I love you, too, Homura-chan," Asuka whispers back.
