Okami sat leaned back in a chair, looking out over the Parisian nightlife with a glass of red wine while waiting for his plus one. He had rented out the entirety of the nicest steakhouse in Paris, and was determined for the night to be perfect. He was wearing a fine black suit, with a silver undershirt and black tie, and if it weren't for the scar on his cheek, and the casual, deadly grace that came with being a master swordsman, he'd look like any other young multi-billionaire looking to impress a pretty girl.

Alright, he's probably a multi-trillionaire, but it wasn't as if he was ever going to actually figure out how much the family had. He was pretty sure that even the treasurer had lost count a few times.

Regardless, he waited patiently, knowing that at any moment his fiance would walk through those doors, and he'd be damned if he screwed this up.

Setting his glass of wine down, Okami's face lit up into a brilliant smile as he saw Anna walk into the restaurant. Standing in a single, fluid motion, he would step around the table and pull out her chair for her, waiting for her to sit before sliding it back into place. Sitting back down himself, he would pour her a glass of the vintage drink that he had been sipping as he spoke. "Don't worry about it. You look absolutely stunning."

It was true. The black dress and pearls contrasted her hair and skin in a way that made it seem perfect, although that could have just been her. Even so, Okami couldn't help but stare into her eyes. He could get lost in them if he wasn't careful, so he reluctantly looked away, and glanced down at the menu. "So, what are you planning on ordering? I'm thinking the steak tartare, personally."

As Okami took a sip of his own wine, he couldn't help but chuckle at Anna's comment. Setting his glass down before something horrendous happened to it, like any more laughter, he'd give his fiancé a charming smile and tease her a bit. He couldn't help it, really. "I'm not sure about you, but I prefer the privacy. Plus, I'd rather have such a gorgeous girl all to myself!~"

Once she'd told him what she wanted, he waved over the waiter, and spoke to him briefly in fluent French. Turning back to Anna once the other man had left, the Shiba Clan Head decided to speak once more, voicing a question that has been on his mind for some time now. "Anna, how do you feel about all of this? I've...had something like this planned for quite a while, honestly, but do you feel like things are a bit...rushed?"

Sighing, Okami downed a solid half of his glass of wine, some part of him wishing it was a bit stronger-just to soothe his nerves, mind you-and continued. "I just...don't want to force you into anything you don't want to do because...I love you, and have for centuries..."

Okami's face turned almost...hopeful as she spoke, and a small, genuine smile crossed his face. Setting his wine down and promptly forgetting about it, he rolled to his feet in a single move and walked towards Anna. Once he got to her, he looked her dead in the eye and began to speak. "That...That makes me so happy to hear you say that, more than you'd ever know. For the longest time-centuries, really-Ika and Hagane were my only real friends. Clan politics are particularly brutal when you've been the Head practically since you were a toddler, and the Branch Head and the Elders barely treated me as family. When I met you, I...Ahh, fuck it."

Dropping down to a single knee, Okami pulled a small, black velvet box out of his pocket. Opening it would reveal a ring made out of platinum, with a large, flawless diamond set in the middle, the metal flowing around it like water. In the center of the diamond, likely carved with reiatsu ages ago within the actual gem itself, was the symbol of the Shiba Clan, the Collapsing Whirlpool of the Crashing Heaven. "This was my mother's ring, the one she wore as Head of the Clan, and as it's Princess. I think...she'd want the woman I love to have it. Would you do me the honor of being my wife?"

Classy as fuck, Okami. Classy as fuck...

Smiling brightly, Okami stood in one fluid motion, placing the ring on her finger in an almost-absentminded manner. The kido laced into the metal immediately fitted the ring perfectly to her finger, and added her to the Clan rosters, most likely shocking the ever-loving shit out of some old geezer that was snooping around in the middle of the night. A similar ring moved itself from Okami's right ring finger to his left, although the ancient spells on the damn things weren't of interest to his at the moment.

Drawing Anna into his arms, Okami held the girl of his dreams closely before leaning down, moving to catch her lips in a soft kiss. It was chaste, but it held all of the love he had ever been able to give. Once it was over, he would rest his chin on her head, feeling like he was in the Heaven he once thought Soul Society was.

A cough from behind him shook him from his shock, and drew his attention to the food laid out on the table and the waiter who was simply waiting politely. At that, he couldn't help but laugh.
