Chapter 1

The bells ring in the calm town of Domremy, the people gather to the church. It is a beautiful day, the sun shining, the birds twittering; the perfect day to get married. Yuri Hyuga stands in silence next to Roger Bacon. Roger looked up at him with a smile of happiness, Yuri look back down with the same smile, except abit uneasy. Roger sighs and says, "Don't worry Yuri, it'll be fine…" But Yuri still looks uneasy. Roger gets Yuri's attention by kicking him in the shin, Yuri groans. "What's the matter?" asks Roger. Yuri sighs and says, "Im just hoping I don't crap up, ya know with the vows and stuff….." Roger looks up at him in silence and says, "You won't. Now I'll go check on Alice, you stay here." He said stepping away and walking towards the bride's room. Yuri stood still and sighed.

Roger came to a door and knocked. A soft voice spoke, "come in." Roger then opened the door and entered, closing the door behind him. He came to see Alice Elliot standing in a beautiful white silk wedding dress, with a bouquet of lush red roses. Roger smiled and said, "You look beautiful…." Alice smiled with a twinkle in her eye. "Thanks Roger, do you think Yuri will like it?" Roger gave a little smile with a chuckle and replied, "He'll love it." Alice once again smiled and looked into the mirror; she put her hand on her necklace and said, "Do you think my mom and dad will be watching?" Roger came in view from the mirror and replied, "What do you think?" Alice closed her eyes and said, "Yes, they are."

Back in the main part of the church. The guests where seated. Joachim Valentine sat next to his brother; Keith Valentine. Princess Anastasia was one of the flower girls. Karin Koenig was one of the Brides Maids along with Margarete and Lucia. Kurando Inugami; Yuri's Cousin, was Yuri's best man. And the other guests where Zhuzhen, Lenny, Blanca and Geppeto.

Keith sat in silence next to his brother; who was uneasy. Joachim Valentine shook his head and said, "For the last time im sorry for breaking the sword! You where the one who left it in reach! I was a child for god sake!" Keith didn't reply, just giving a psycho like smirk. Joachim grew in anger, "So you think this is funny?! Huh?!" Keith then burst out in laugher, "just give it up Joachim, no matter how much you try, I'll never forgive you…." Joachim then gave a deep sigh and sat back in silence.

Meanwhile Lucia was chatting with Margarete. "No way! Your telling me you fought with Yuri and Alice against a god?!" Margarete grinned and nodded, "yep." Lucia gave a happy grin and replied, "you're fate was very great then." As they continued to chat, Karin sat with Anastasia. "Ohhhhh this is so great! I knew this would happen!" Karin smiled abit and said, "Well, it was obvious." Anastasia looked at Karin and pulled a straight face, "Why so sad?" Karin sighed and replied, "Well, not to be rude to Alice or Yuri, as Lucia said there fate was intertwined from the beginning and I accept that but I just wish I was the one getting married to Yuri……" Anastasia gave a look of confusion, "is that it? Come on Karin, you know he still cares about you, its just his heart belongs to Alice. There's plenty more fish in the sea. Also, it's not like Alice is rubbing it in your face."

The organ then began to play. Everyone stood and Karin took her place with Lucia and Margarete and Anastasia stood ready. Yuri took a deep breath, stood straight, and turned to face the coming bride. Alice was being escorted by Roger down the Ile, and as Yuri watched her come, it put his mind at rest. As Alice came to the alter Roger let go of her hand and passed it to Yuri's and whispered to them both, "it'll be fine." As he stepped down and took his seat. Yuri and Alice both smiled at him then looked at each other. As there eyes met, the whole atmosphere in the church changed. It felt more clam and peaceful.

"We are gathered here today to witness the ceremonial joining of Yuri Hyuga and Alice Elliot." Began the priest. As the day went on there where many tears, but the flood came at the very end. "I do." Said Alice, her eyes almost about to burst into tears. "Do you Yuri Hyuga take Alice Elliot to be your lawfully wedded wife?" asked the priest. Yuri stared into the guests then into Alice's deep blue eyes and answered, "I do." There was then a huge applause, and the priest finished by saying, "I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride." Yuri smiled, he looked at Alice, whose eyes was pouring with tears and said, "I love you." Alice smiled and replied, "I love you too." And there lips met. The room cheered and Roger jumped up and down in happiness, just like everyone else.

As the day ended, everyone headed off home. "Now, I have a long journey back to Wales, so I hope you love birds have a great night!" said Roger to Yuri and Alice. Alice smiled and said, "thank you for today." She said giving him a hug and kiss; making him blush. Yuri laughed and shook Rogers's hand, "take it easy man." Roger smiled and left. Yuri and Alice stood outside and looked the sunset together. Alice in Yuri's arms. "Well Miss Hyuga do you want to go home." Said Yuri picking up Alice. She giggled and said, "Only if my darling husband is willing to carry me home." Yuri chuckled and said, "done and done." As he started to walk down the pathway with Alice still in his arms.

As they came to the door of the 2 floor cottage Yuri kicked the door open and carried Alice upstairs into the bedroom. He sat her gently on the king-sized bed and closed the door behind them; he then sat beside her and grinned. Alice gave a suspicious look, "what are you thinking of doing?" Yuri gave a little chuckle and replied, "Well isn't it obvious?" He then launched at her and began to tiggle her. Alice burst out in laughter and began to squirm. "Yuri!" she said while trying not to laugh anymore. "What?" he replied with a silly grin. As he layed on top of her there eyes met, and shortly after so did there lips. Yuri then shortly after turned off the lights.

At the stroke of midnight, when they where both asleep after what they had just done. Yuri's malice began to glow a deeper red then it already was, a voice trapped inside it, not being able to be heard by Yuri or Alice began to speak. "Pathetic Yuri, always the soft type. Always hiding away your true self. Always hiding away your true dark side, waiting to be unleashed. Ever since you fell in love with that weak girl Alice I have been trapped away inside your malice, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Waiting, for when you least expect it. And that my dear friend, is soon; very soon." The voice then gave a huge laugh. Shortly after, the malice stopped glowing, and the voice was gone.
