Upon losing every battle

Sohma had been a very good table tennis player but when the grand match came, he ended up losing every match. However, desperate as he was he didn't want to give up. Alright, he won once. In the final Japanese match, he lost. It wasn't his fault but he didn't speak a word for the rest of the day.

Asuza warned me that a loss could bring a demon in anyone. She had been wrong. Sohma didn't bring it himself, he brought it in one of the Ramen makers in Kyoto. Moreover, the chef scolded him for making a fuss about the Ramen. Sohma apologized.

After the occurrence, Sohma accepted to work as a waiter in the Ramen restaurant as his punishment. In the end it was Natsumi that asked for the job and took it. When she was gone, Sohma couldn't bear a friend leaving. To ignore his grief, he asked for a bowl of hot chilli. After the last bite, Sohma tried to wash it down with cold sake.

One of Asuza's relatives, Aomori scolded him with a fake anger and he laughed his real anger off.

Sohma got up and took my hands. I started frying the chicken and set it with some cooked shrimps. That battle I won.

When we carried our dinner to the beautiful outdoor backyard, Sohma took the camera and filmed me eating the shrimp with a smile on my face. Suddenly, the entire background transformed into a beautiful wedding hall, where people came and went.

Standing up from my chair, I ran to accept a demand of delivering macaroons to the guests. Sohma grabbed the camera to use it as a breaking stick, in case we couldn't escape this area.

After that, the entire guests gathered as an audience to watch us say each other's vows and become a married couple. Sakura Blossoms fell on the ground as we embraced and kissed each other.

All of a sudden, the background changed to our bedroom. We jumped to our feet and saw Natsumi holding the camera with a scared face.

"Natsumi," I asked.

Natsumi came infront of us. "This camera has caused you enough trouble."

"We wanted to stay in their forever," came Sohma's disappointed response.

"You wanted to die there."

I watched in dismay as the camera burnt in the fire. I actually loved every second of safety it gave us. What if we weren't able to escape our past? If only we cou
