Shiro smiled gently at Kasumi. "I'm afraid you didn't fully understand my question. I apologize for wording it incorrectly. What I truly mean is will you stay here as my bride?" Shiro decided to be forward with her since she had always been forward with him. He knew that she didn't love him yet, but he at least wanted her to stay for a while longer. It had taken him days to muster up enough courage to even approach her after all.
