Ignorance is Bliss

Chapter 1 Ingenuousness to the Obvious

Okay so I popped the question to my girlfriend a few days ago. Seven days to be exact. I did it exactly as she had dreamed. I set up a moonlight picnic- under a full moon atop a grassy hill- handmade everything from the sandwiches to the desserts, picked her favorite flowers, apologized a thousand times about the incident with Kagome and got down on one knee, pulled out a ring, and asked for her hand in marriage. Again.

I didn't exactly know what to expect; but it sure as hell wasn't this.

My name is Kouga. I proposed to my girlfriend Ayame. And I had no idea what I was getting myself into.

So after she squealed, kissed me, admired the ring and put it on her finger; she asked what date I had in mind.

Now I'm not exactly sure how these things worked, but it took me months to work up the courage to ask her to marry me. Then it took me several more months to pick out a ring she'd like and plan this whole thing.

And now she's asking about the wedding date.

Wasn't I under enough stress?

Anyways, she dropped the subject-thank whatever god was looking out for me- and enjoyed the rest of the night I had planned. Which included a midnight stroll though the meadow.

"Kouga?" Ayame asked as we silently walked though the grass. It wasn't an awkward quiet, it was a comfortable one.

I glanced down at her to see her big, green eyes staring up at me.

"Yeah?"

"We're getting married." She stated as slight wind blew though the pasture, blowing her white, thigh length dress back against her thighs. I watched as her red hair brushed away from her face and her cheeks caught the moonlight. She opted to have her hair down tonight, allowing it to fall down the length of her back.

"Yup." I nodded.

"We're finally getting married." She emphasis the word 'finally' as she ran her small fingers up and down my muscular forearm. I was wearing a black dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up and simple black dress pants and dress shoes with my hair pulled up in my normal pony tail.

"Yeah." I had no idea where she was going with this.

A few hours later I took her home; back to her little apartment on the lower side of town. It was a quaint little place where everyone knew one another and flower boxes hung from every windowsill. Very different from my neighborhood.

By the time we actually left the pasture the night sky had faded and gave way to the early morning rays of light.

I walked her to the front door and kissed her cheek.

"I had-this was wonderful…" She trailed off, fingering the silver engagement ring on her finger.

"Well…" I chucked. "I'd hope so." I did spend a lot of time planning it after all. I think my pride would be a little more than wounded if you hated it.

"Sooo…" She glanced up and met my gaze.

"Yeah?" For some reason my heart was palpitating in my chest.

"We'll start tomorrow?" She smiled coyly up at me.

"What?" A blank look crossed my face.

"Well technically it'll be later…"

"What?" Not a word she was saying computed with my brain.

"Considering it's almost 4'oclock in the morning…" The smile that was once there faded just the slightest.

I looked at her like she was an escaped mental patient.

"To plan silly." She smiled brightly and caressed my cheek.

Right now, I bet my eyes were screaming that she needed to be admitted to the loony bin.

"For our wedding." And I'd be the one signing the papers.

"Oh and I think it best Kagome not come alone to our wedding."

Oh yeah. You wait here while I go get some very nice men in white suites with a big butterfly net.
