Chapter 1:
"Kazuki! You look great!"
"Kazu-Chan!! You are so beautiful!"
"Ginji, do you mind to move out of the way?"
"Hevn… but I cannot see…"
"Get out before I throw you out."
"But…."
Next thing Ginji knows, he was flying out of the room, into Ban's arm and the door was slammed and locked to keep him from entering.
"Ginji, what happened?"
"Hevn said I was in her way. Ban-Chan, Kazu-Chan looks so beautiful. You should take a look."
"Looks like I can only see it later. I don't fancy being thrown out by an angry Hevn. Let's head over to the venue first and leave the others."
"Hai… "
Ban poked his head into the room to inform the girls they were going over to the venue first. Natsumi nodded in acknowledgement before proceeding with the rest of her work. Ban glanced at Kazuki and grinned to himself.
"Hey Yarnball, why don't you swap to something a little low-cut? Needle-boy will love it."
"MIDOU!!"
Ban sneaked out the room to avoid the object Kazuki thrown in his direction.
"Ginji, let's go."
/Back into the room…/
"Kazuki, don't mind what Ban is saying. He's being stupid, as always."
"Hevn-san, it's okay. I have gotten used to it. Maybe, I am really a little nervous."
"You sure you are only a little nervous, Kazuki?'
"Stop teasing him, Natsumi. It's every bride's right to be nervous on their big day."
Kazuki blushed deeply when Hevn mentioned the word bride. Indeed, it is the big day he was waiting for. Today, it is his dream comes true. He is finally going to be married to Juubei. He was so overjoyed that he even gotten Hevn to talk to him into wearing a wedding gown. Lucky for him, the gown picked up by the girls is high-necked. The only problem he has with the gown is that it is off-shoulders and bare backed. Midou had teased him for as long as he could when he first tried it on. If not for Toshiki's endless assurances, he would not have worn the gown.
Deep down, he knows that Juubei will be delighted to see him in this piece. Hevn had mentioned that it is bad luck for the groom to see the gown before the wedding. And being a person who does not like to break tradition if he can, he rejected Juubei's pleads to see him in the gown.
Giggling to himself, he took no notice of Hevn and Natsumi who simply smiled at each other and continue with their work.
"Juubei, stop pacing thro and fore. You are giving me headaches."
"We know you are nervous. But can you sit down?"
Juubei and the others were sitting in the chapel's waiting room to wait for the bride to arrive before they take their place and starts with the ceremony to marry the couple. The chapel was chosen by Kazuki as it overlooks the ocean and is on a mountain top. The view is breathtaking and ideal for a wedding.
Juubei stopped and stared at Toshiki before speaking what was hanging in his mind.
"Toshiki, what if Kazuki backed out all of a sudden? What if Kazuki thinks I'm not good enough for him?"
"Juubei, you think too much. Kazuki is dying to be married to you since the day you finally confessed your love to him. If you have second doubts about Kazuki's decision. We have Midou and Ginji to kidnap and drag him to the ceremony. No worries. If you have doubt marring Kazuki, no fear, I am too willing and happy to take your place."
Juubei stared at Toshiki, half shocked of what he heard. When he took noticed of the grin Toshiki had on his face, Juubei's serious look broke into a charming smile before punching lighting on Toshiki's arm.
"No way am I letting you take my place."
"I know about it. Stop worrying. Kazuki is right. You worried too much."
Meanwhile, Ban and Ginji walked into the room happily and Juubei's face is changing color at the same time.
"What's with the change of color?"
"Juubei-san, are you alright? Are you sick? Do you need me to find Gen-san?"
"Ginji, he's alright. Why are you here?"
"Wait, did Kazuki send you to deliver the bad news for me?'
"Needle-boy, what 'bad news' are you talking about?"
"Don't mind him. He's fantasizing Kazuki going to become a runaway bride."
Upon hearing what Toshiki said, ban laughed out loud and only stopped when Juubei was about to send his needles towards him.
"Needle-boy, Yarnball is dying to come over here. If not for the big fuss Hevn is insisting, he will be here right now. You just don't faint when you see the gown he's wearing. It's… what's the word? Oh... Sexy. If you fainted, I may take your spot before you realize what happened. Wahahaaaa…"
Ban finally shut his mouth when Juubei sent his needles at him. He was saved by Ginji whom he took as a shield. Ginji could only moan and cried in pain.
"Who came up with the stupid traditional practice about the groom and bride shouldn't see each other till the ceremony? That person is an idiot."
"Chill it Juubei. If you do want to trace back, I can send you through time machine. But I will need sometime to figure out and by then, you will be happily married with Kazuki."
Juubei gave a half-smile to MakubeX. He knew the latter was trying his best to console him.
"Everyone, relax. Let me tell you a joke…
"EMISHI! SHUT UP!"
"Ouch, all of you hurt my feeling."
All the others glared hard at Emishi to make him shut his mouth with good.
"Juubei, do you want to make a call to Kazuki? It will calm your nerves."
"Nee-san, will it be okay?"
"There is no traditional saying no since during that time there is no mobile phone."
Toshiki dialed the phone and passed it to Juubei who gradually took it. He went to a corner for privacy.
"Kazuki, your phone is ringing."
Natsumi passed the phone to Kazuki who was still glued to the seat as Hevn is applying another layer of mascara to his lashers.
"Hi, Kazuki speaking."
"Hey, how are you doing there?"
Kazuki smiled brightly upon hearing the voice of the caller. He had been pinning his lover for the whole morning. To be exact, since the day before when Hevn dragged him to her house to reinforce in the tradition of bride and groom not suppose to see each other till wedding ceremony itself.
"Hi, I miss you. How are you doing too?"
"Missing you. Are you on the way yet?"
"Nope, Hevn-san still applying make-up."
"No backing up now… you know…"
Kazuki chuckled before he answered.
"Are you calling because you are afraid I will backup?'
"Err… …"
"Juubei, I hope… wish… want to see you immediately. Don't worry too much. You are really a worrier."
"Kazu… "
"I will be seeing you soon."
"Okay, see you later… I love you."
"I love you too. Don't start without me."
"I won't. See you."
After hanging up the call, both Juubei and Kazuki had a wide smile on their face.
"Now, do you feel better?"
"Yes. Thank Toshiki."
"You are welcome. That's the best man's job. To either calm the groom down or takes his place when needed."
"Shut up!"
Juubei and Toshiki looked at each other and laughed.
"Will the bride finally notice the presence of the two chambermaids?"
Kazuki glanced at Hevn and Natsumi and smiled awkwardly.
"I'm sorry. And you two are not my chambermaids. Hevn-san, can we go?"
"Yes, someone is dying to see his prince charming. We will send you there now."
Hevn and Natsumi helped Kazuki onto the car before driving towards the chapel. They were driving smoothly around the mountain when the car gave a jerk and skated out of the way. Hevn tried to stop the car however they found that the brakes were not working. Thus, the only way was to slow down and tried her best to make it up to the mountain top.
They were making their way slowly and steadily when a car driving at full speed tried to knock the car over. Kazuki immediately recognized the car plate belonging to one of the supposed clients who turned out to be a villain.
Before they knew what happened, the car was flying out of the route and crashed into the rocks.
"Boss, the car was crashed. The 3 on the car are unconscious. What do you want us to do?"
"Push the car down into the ocean and finish the others in the chapel."
"Yes boss."
"Aren't the girls taking a little too long?"
"Ya, even the monkey trainer had finally made it up the mountain after shaking off his same species."
"Do you have a problem with that, Snake bastard? Or do you want the monkeys to come after you like the other time?"
"Will you two be silenced for awhile?"
"Well, if Mr Shido and Midou like to fight, I jolly well can be the judge."
"Dr Jackal. No thanks. We prefer a bloodless wedding."
"I seriously doubt there will be a wedding, even a bloodless one."
Everyone turned their heads' angrily to the speaker who was standing at the door. It took awhile for most of them to recognize who he is.
"Mr Josh, what's brought you here?"
"Dr Jackal, it will be none of your business. The others here had humiliated my boss sometimes ago. Today, I'm here on my boss's order to finish them off."
"Finish… you mean… "
"Oh, the bride and the other 2 ladies had already reported to hell. It's your turn now."
Without warning, the chapel was attacked by people with weapons or none. Josh stood out of the way while the fight was going on. He noticed that they were on the losing end and sneaked out. After the others were finished, Juubei rushed to get hold of Josh but he was too late.
Juubei dropped to his knees outside the chapel, processing word by word Josh had said.
'The bride and the other 2 ladies had already reported to hell.'
Toshiki took hold of Juubei and shook him hard.
"Juubei, don't give up. We both know Kazuki. He will not die easily. We will find him even if it means we have to flip every piece of land in the world."
Juubei stared at Toshiki and nodded in acknowledgement.
'Kazuki, I will find you… I promise…'
