++a brief re-cap++

day before the wedding

The gang, along with couple went to the tailors one last time to fit their gowns. Mikan was now fitting hers with the help of the girls. While in the other hand, natsume was fitting his. Back to mikan, mikan was complemented by the girls after they saw how beautiful she was with the gown. The boys to went inside the fitting room, they found the brunette there standing in the middle of the fitting room, twirling around the mirrors. The boys were fascinated on how beautiful mikan was. Then all of a sudden natsume went inside the fitting room. He is looking at the brunette…

"You look nice. The gown fits you perfectly…" all of them were shock after hearing natsume said that…while mikan face turn expressionless.

He wasn't supposed to enter the fitting room because it is forbidden because it said to be bad luck. If the groom sees the girl in its wedding clothes before the wedding, something bad will happen… any form of accident will be possible.

"Natsume, you weren't supposed to be here…" Anna and sumire said quickly.

"why??" he said, giving them a quizzical look.

"Because it's bad luck Dummy!!" hotaru said.

"Huh?!"

"don't you know about the bad luck thing?" his best friend asked, pushing him out to the room..

"What bad luck?" he asks, while he is being pushed outside…

"I'll tell you late okay??" he nodded. Mikan in the other hand was crying, she is superstitious, and after she heard what anna and sumire said, she started crying. She knew too herself that the thing that happened a while ago may cause bad luck to them.

"What if that comes true?!" she said, panicking. She is kneeling, crying herself out… all of the girls tried to make her feel better but no one was able to.

"Mikan, it's just a superstition, no need to worry, it won't happen…"hotaru said, caressing her long chest nut hair. She let mikan hugged her tightly, then she replied "I hope so…"

Outside the fitting room…

"natsume…." His best friend called…

"what?" feeling guilty..

" are you sure you don't that??" yuu said

"yeah.. and besides I am not a superstitious person.."

"okay then…" koko said

"there is a superstition that if the groom sees the bride wearing her wedding gown before the wedding, something bad will happen, or bad luck will be bestowed upon the couple…" ruka explains. After hearing this, his crimson pools widen in shock, he didn't believe in superstitions, but something struck him…

"ahh.." the only answer that came out form his mouth…

"so that's it.."

"good luck natsume.."

" I will pray for the two of you…" yuu said

"me too…" mochu said

After that, they went back to their own fitting rooms. After going to the fitting room, all of them went straight to the hotel… that is a custom, before the wedding, the bride shall stay in a hotel because tomorrow, everyone will be in her hotel room, helping her prepare herself, as for the groom, the same too..

+++++++++++++++++++inside her hotel room++++++++++++++++++++++

Hotaru and mikan are inside their rooms… while for the other girls, they rented a separate room. Mikan still hasn't said a single word. After that wedding gown incident, she didn't talk; she is only staring blankly in the air, until hotaru decided to talk to her…

"Why don't we sleep now??" Caressing her long chestnut locks… "You need to wake up early tomorrow, there is no reason for you to be late baka." she said… trying to make her smile. She looks at her and smiled… "What if that gown seeing thingy can really brings us bad luck? I can't afford to lose him… not again." Tears are flowing from her eyes.

She is happy that tomorrow will be the day but she is uncomfortable about the superstition… deep inside her, she really can't afford to lose him once more. Not now that everything is alright, she is contented. "Mikan," the girl with onyx orbs called "everything will be fine. I promise you. So please stop crying. You look 50 times uglier.." she comforts her, her left hand placed in her best friend's cheek, wiping the tears that is flowing through it… she smiled one more time and said " arigatou, ru-chan" then her cell phone rang, It was natsume… she picked it up and answered it.. "Hello??" she answered in a faint yet sniffing voice.

This made natsume more worried. "Are you alright?? Are you crying??" "No.. Of course not... and why would I??" trying to be strong… "Ah, I see.. Mikan…" he felt better." yes? Honey?" she answered sweetly… "I just want to say," "say what??" "I just want to say I love you and I am sorry…" he said. His statement made mikan speechless and to continue weeping… "honey??" natsume called…the brunette didn't answered.. then natsume heard hotaru's voice saying "what happened?? Why are you crying?? "this made natsume guilty… "I shouldn't have said that…" he thought "she is superstitious, she might get it wrong" in the other line of the phone… mikan really is superstitious… "Why are you saying this?? Its like something bad will happen to you…" she said "nothing will happen to me darling, I promise… I just want you to know that I love you... That's all. And that I really am sorry about what happened a while ago, I swear that I didn't know that such superstition exist…" he explains…

"Alright then... Its okay… nothing can separate us right?!" she said in a faint voice once more… trying to be cheery… "I love you… and yeah, I assure you that nothing.. I repeat nothing can separate us…" he said… trying to make her happy. "Okay then, " he said " okay…" "see you tomorrow, Mrs. Hyuuga" he said…smiling… "Okay then!! I love you!!" after that they hung up, and went back to their beds and sleep…

++++++++++++++++++++++ Mikan's suite+++++++++++++++++++++++

+++++++++++++++++++November 28, 08- Wedding Day+++++++++++++++

Today is the most awaiting day for the couple… mikan did woke up early, so did the others… to check the materials to be use at the ceremony later… the girls, namely anna, nonoko, sumire and hotaru went to see her to have breakfast. After 30 minutes of eating with a mixture of excitement and chit chatting, they went back to her suite to wait for the arrival of the hairdresser and make up artist. The hairdresser and the make up artist went into her room early.

They start around 10 am and ended around 1 pm. The bride's hair was neatly done, it was worn down, and is curled but not that curly, semi curly, and she also has a tiara. Her make up was light. And the tone of her make up is between peach to a dark hue of brown…Her luscious lips are red, but not that bright red, while the girls' hair styles were all different. Hotaru's raven hair was pinned up… Anna's long baby pink hair was semi pony, nonoko's blue shoulder length hair was curled… and sumire's short green hair was straightened. The bride's wedding gown and the other accessories to be used in the wedding is laid to her bed… the pillow with the ring in it, the coins, the bible, the lace (the one that is place on the thigh of a girl), the cord, the candles, her white shoes, and her large bouquet of tropical flowers.

All of those things are in her bed, neatly arrange. "Mikan, come here…" hotaru said… "Why??" "Baka!! You need to get dress!! It's already 2 pm!!" "So?" "What do you mean so?? Baka!" hitting her head… "You only have 2 hours to get ready..." "What!!!?" she shouted. The raven haired girl nodded in agreement along with the girls they drag her inside the large bathroom inside her suite… there, they helped mikan to put her clothes on, after 30 minutes… she came outside the bathroom, she is beautiful… the color of her gown which is white (she changed it's color… last minute.. causing the tailor to freak out and be pressured.) suited her brownish tone of skin and make up.

The veil gave her a more mature look… "mikan, you look so cute!!" all the girls except the ice queen squeal in excitement. "thank you…" the brunette said, twirling in front of the large mirror. She can't believe that today is the day… "Okay then, were leaving, If you need something, just call one of us okay mi-chan?" anna said. While nonoko and sumire is waving good bye to her and hotaru.. "Okay. I will, thank you." she smiled sweetly… "Okay then, bye mi-chan…" all of the girls went back to their own suites to get dressed… 30 minutes more had passed. The bride and her best friend are both dressed. The 2 waited for the car. Another 15 minutes had passed. The car just arrived. After picking the 2 up, the driver, along with he's passengers are now on there way to the beach…

+++++++++++++++++++++Natsume's club house++++++++++++++++++

+++++++++++++++++++November 28, 08- Wedding Day +++++++++++++++

It's already 12:00pm. The fire caster just woke up from his deep slumber, last night he can't sleep well; he keeps on turning and turning. He is excited for this day. He got off bed, wears his slippers and went straight to the bath room. He brushed his teeth; he washed his faced and went outside the bathroom.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK…

"Who is it?" he asked, while wiping his face. "It's me." His best friend said. His blue eyed blonde best friend was with mochu, koko and yuu are with him. They went there to check on natsume. He opened the door revealing the boys. "What are you here?" the fire caster asked… "Mikan…" "What happened to her??" natsume asked, His heart was starting to pound… "She called me and asked me to check you up." "Ah…" was his answer "I thought something bad had happen to her." he said in relief… "you know how worry mi-chan is…" yuu said "that's why we all check up on you…" mochu said "after that superstition thing, mikan became really worried about you.." koko said…

A fter hearing these explanations, natsume became worried. Guilt Is killing him… "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry you or anything.. If I only knew that superstition, I shouldn't have burst in into your room.. Im sorry" he thought. His face is carrying a blank expression after hearing those explanations… then ruka said "natsume…" calling his name for the 5th time "huh?!" snapping back from his short trance… "I said, would you want to join us?? We're eating breakfast together…" "Ah, okay. Just give me a sec, I'll change my clothes…" the boys waited.

Then they all exited the room after natsume got out. The maids greeted their young master, instead of going out to have breakfast; they all decided to just eat in natsume's house…all of the maids, served them instantly… after 30 minutes they all finished eating their breakfast. Then Ruka's cell phone rang… it was hotaru n the other line. He picked it up and answered it.

"hello?" ruka said

"honey.." the raven haired girl greeted.

"hi honey.."

"uhm, did you check on natsume??"

"yeah, actually we are in his house right now, we just ate our breakfast. Why??"

"oh, nothing. It's just that mikan has been asking me that question repeatedly."

Ruka was laughing. "is something funny??" her fiancé asked "nothing.. just be patient with mikan okay?? You know how she can be if she is excited and worried…" the animal lover said… "Okay then… take care sweetheart…" hotaru said "yeah. Bye" "bye"… they both hung up and continue there businesses. "who is that??" the fire caster asked.. "Hotaru." "Why did she call you?" "Uhm, its about mikan.. she is asking hotaru repeatedly if I had checked you up." "Ah, anyway, I wonder why isn't she calling me?" "maybe she is busy getting ready.." "maybe…" "anyway, we gotta go.

We still need to arrange ourselves for the ceremony later.." "okay then. Thanks guys" natsume said "okay… you too, you're the groom so make sure that you look handsome okay?" ruka said.. "I am already handsome…" natsume boasted. All of them laughed… then leaved. He went back to his room and went straight into his closet to pick his tuxedo. He took a bath, dried his hair, brushed his teeth, shines his shoes, and wears his black tux. After an hour and a half, he was finish. He looked handsome and gorgeous, as he checks himself in the mirror.

He was very happy inside. He too can't believe that today will be the big day for him and mikan. He too is concern about that superstition. "what if that superstition is true?? What if it happens?? What shall I do?? I cant risk anything anymore… especially my love for mikan.. I can't allow it to be shattered and to disappear just like that… Kami-sama, please guide me and mikan. Don't let us be near into accidents… onegai…" he thought. After that, he went outside, and drove heading to the beach… since his club house is near in the wedding place, he doesn't need to hurry. But in this case he should because 1 hour from now, the ceremony will start…

++++++++++++++++++++++ Boracay beach++++++++++++++++++++++

Natsume just arrived. He was the 20th person to arrive. The boys were waiting for him… "What took you so long??"" koko asked. He shrugged. "Anyway, isn't this beautiful??" ruka said, who popped out of nowhere… "Yeah... That's why we chose this one… the sunset here in Boracay, it's really breath taking…" everyone agreed… 30 minutes more had passed, everyone is now there, the guest, the priest, and the parents. Everybody is waiting for the arrival of the special girl –the bride-

Then speaking of the devil, the car had just arrived; Yuka and Seiji are waiting for the arrival of their daughter. Since they promise their only daughter that they will walk her into the aisle… upon arrival of their beloved daughter, the wedding planner quickly assists her to get of the car… after seeing the arrival of the car, natsume quickly went to his position and became nervous… mikan got out form the car with the help of the wedding planner, Ms. Michiyama Sayaki and her best friend hotaru. "you look wonderful, Ms. Sakura" michiyama whispered.. "thank you.." she replied sweetly… then without anymore further ado, the wedding officially starts…

++++++++++++++++++++++++wedding ceremony++++++++++++++++++

The participants of the wedding were neatly lined by Ms. Michiyama…at the end of the line, mikan, along with her mother and father, were standing… "Pumpkin, are you nervous??" yuka asked. She looked at her mother, smiled and said "of course mom. Who wouldn't??" she said… "You look gorgeous today honey…"his father, Seiji complimented.. "Thanks dad!!" while chit chatting, their wedding song was being played… which is entitled "Forevermore.",

After the march of the participants, the attention of the guests, the priest, the photographers, the best man, the junior and brides maid and especially the groom where all given to the bride. She, along with her parents who are in both of her sides was now walking her into the aisle as promised.. "Honey, be happy okay?" his father said, smiling at her, "pumpkin, Always remember, you cannot replace love by any material object. Be happy with natsume, I can see that he really do cares a lot for you. He loves you very much. Believe me.." she whispered, as the couple handed their daughter to the man standing in front of them "take care of her. Mr.Hyuuga" mikan's father said while smiling... "Be happy, the 2 of you" yuka said.

On the other hand, tears can't stop flowing from her chocolate orbs. She was happy… very happy… as natsume reaches out for her hand, she reaches her out and gently grips tightly into his hand. She left her parent side and went closer to natsume.. "You look marvelous today, honey" he complimented, while smiling. "Thank you, you look very handsome..." she said playfully. "I am handsome. Anyway, enough chit chatting." he said as he assists her in front of the priest… "Ladies and gentlemen… we are gathered here today to witness the undying love of this 2 people standing here in front of me… as they will be united in front of us and into the eyes of our lord…" the priest said… mikan's hand is still intertwined by natsume's… "Does anyone object?" her grasp became tighter…

No one had objected…the ceremony continues…

(a/n: do you like it so far?? sorry if I skipped, I don't have any idea what will happen after that statement… because I just made it up… continuing the story… c:)


The rings were handed down to the couple… natsume was the one who is putting the ring into mikan's ring finger… "wear this ring as a sign of my love,…as we live together through thick or thin, in good or bad, in sickness or in health till death do us part.." he said.. As he slips the ring through her finger.. "Wear this ring as a sign of my love,…as we live together through thick or thin, In good or bad, in sickness or in health till death do us part…" the brunette said, as she slips the ring into his finger… "I now pronounce you husband and wife!! You may kiss the bride" the priest said… the couple faced each other, natsume lifted her veil, revealing a smiling brunette, he cupped her chin leaned forward and kissed her… she deepened the kiss. Both of them smiling, both eyes shut… they broke the kiss, he snaked his arms around her petite waist and whispered..

Followed by the guest…

The couple just arrived from their small trip going to their reception… the guests were all waiting for them. Upon arrival, the newly wed couple was welcomed by thousands of gifts and cheering guests, all of them were happy for the couple. The walk into the aisle and went to the stage to sit there. There, a table and a couple of chairs has been prepared for the couple to rest in… natsume assisted mikan on sitting, after that he sat…

She stood up, and was asked to sit on a chair located in the middle of the dance floor. She sat down, ruka approached her, and in his hand was the garter...
