Another new fic for you all. It's going to be Sorato, Takari, Jyoumi, Taijun and Kenlie although it does start off as Junato. Minor Tai and June bashing to start with *grins*
This is an alternative universe type fic, the whole digital world thing happened but Sora wasn't included.
Please review and I don't own anything but the plot.
Chapter 1
The young girl winced as her corset was pulled even tighter to her waist and cringed further as the strings were fastened someway up her back, holding her completely in place.
Turning round, she looked at herself in the mirror and let out a sad sigh. This was it, her last day of freedom. She knew she should feel happy beyond belief, but well… the but didn't matter. It was happening today and no matter how many doubts she had, nothing would stop the wedding.
Sighing quietly to herself, so as not to make the maid suspect anything, she allowed her to position her wedding veil on her head and then watched as she clasped her hands in delight at the end result, tears brimming in her eyes.
"Your mother and father will be so proud!" She exclaimed, now fighting to hold back the tears. Sora smiled slightly. She'd always been fond of this young maid, well she was more like a friend then a maid, but in the presence of other people, family or otherwise, she was to be treated as a maid and nothing more.
Sora thanked Rebecca and got down off the stool, she again turned and looked at herself in the mirror. Another sad smile found its way to her face.
She looked at herself; her long, red hair framed her delicate face and was even more fire-like than usual because of the white dress she was now wearing.
Sora did not like the dress however; it wasn't just what it stood for, but the dress itself.
Her mother had picked it out and if she was honest with herself, it was the most hideous thing she'd ever seen. Well maybe that was a step too far, but the more she looked at the thing, the more she detested the thing.
It was creamy/white and had beads and lace all the way up the front of the corset, which was then trimmed with velvet. The shirt was full and flowing and covered in netting.
'I look like a doll dressed up like this. It's bad enough that I'm being forced into this marriage, but did they really have to pick this for me to wear?'
She took her eyes from the mirror and her reflection as the door opened and in walked her mother, father and behind them, him. Her fiancé.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Will you girls hurry up already!" Was screamed up the stairs, as eight, very annoyed boys in tuxedo's waited for three young girls to get ready.
"Hang on!" Came an equally loud yell, but down the stairs this time as the three girls put the finishing touches to their dresses and makeup.
"Some of us do have dates to pick up you know." Came yet another yell when ten minutes later the girls still hadn't emerged from their room.
"Yes Matt, we know, hang on okay." They yelled once more.
Finally, after another ten minutes, the bedroom door opened and one by one the young girls made their way downstairs.
The result it had on five of the boys was quite funny to watch.
Their mouths fell open as the girls presented themselves.
"Y-you look amazing." TK managed to stutter, as Kari walked over to him. She merely smiled and lightly kissed his forehead.
Davis and Tai also managed to utter their praises as they took in Kari's outfit.
She was wearing a pale yellow dress, very simple with small frilly straps. A yellow rose was now being gently pushed onto her wrist by a very embarrassed looking TK, who was trying to avoid the glares coming his way from Davis.
The same had happened to both Mimi and Yolie as Joe and Ken produced two different shades of pink roses and gave them to their girlfriends, looking quite embarrassed.
"Finally." Muttered Matt as they made their way out of the house and to the cars waiting for them.
They separated into two groups. Joe, Mimi, Ken, Yolie and Cody going to one car and Matt, Tai, Kari, TK, Izzy and Davis heading to another.
They proceeded to get in and drove towards the town hall, where the dance was to be held.
On the way their the two cars stopped to pick up other dates.
Both cars arrived at the hall at 7:00pm and both sets of people made their way inside for the dance.
Yamato's P.O.V
The hall was filled with teenagers of all ages.
Tai had been whinging non-stop since he heard that there weren't to be any alcoholic beverages at the gathering as most of the people there were underage.
Kari had told me how she'd had to hide all of his beer just to keep him from making a fool of himself. I'd laughed at this.
I would've taken some too but I'd decided it wasn't worth the hassle. Instead i settled for the glowing bright lights and the pounding music that was filling my head and making it spin.
I lead June onto the dance floor. Yes June, and no I hadn't gone mad, at least I hoped I hadn't. I'd agreed that I'd take her after Davis begged me on his hands and knee's, literally. He'd said it was for his own sanity and well being and that she was going to ask me anyway. So I decided I'd brave it for one night. She couldn't be that bad, right?
Wrong, well she was okay company, as the night moved on, but her dancing… well shall we say her and Tai might've been better suited.
I grinned at the thought.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I greeted my mother and father and then turned to him.
"It's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding." I stated, but he just smiled and shook his head at me.
"You don't really believe in that sort of thing do you?" He asked, pushing a few strands of hair behind my ears.
But the thing was I did.
I believed in tradition and in being able to plan your own wedding, but more importantly I believed in sole mates.
I believed that in your whole life you would find one person that you were destined to spend the rest of your life with, I just hadn't found him yet.
I did care about Edward it was true. He was nothing but sweet to me, if a little patronising at times, but he wasn't the person that made my heart miss a couple of beats every time I was around him, or the person that would make my day complete by showing me one simple smile.
No, I hadn't found him yet; not that it mattered now.
I was lucky in a way, I knew of many girls much younger than me who where being married off to far less suitable men. At least I had been given 15 years of freedom and was now to marry a fine young gentleman, a blessing compared to some.
The ceremony was to be held at the local church. It was a huge event and invitations had been sent out month's prier to the day. Some 500 people were to make an appearance at the ceremony and goodness only knows how many where coming to the reception afterwards.
I was escorted to the church with my mother and father later that day. I gasped at the sight of the church as we stepped inside the building after leaving our horse-drawn carriage.
There were red and pink roses lining the walls of the building. The sides of the isles were had trains of roses in small arches up and down each side and the alter had stands of flowers at either side.
"This must have cost you so much, father." I stated.
"Anything for my little princess." Came his reply.
I smiled at this. I loved my dad a great deal. He was one of those fathers that dotes on their daughters and wants them to have the best in life and he always made sure that I did.
He unfortunately had, had no say in the decorations at the wedding or on my dress. If he had of done I would have been wearing my own choice in dress, something simple, and I would have chosen my own flowers and decorations for the wedding, yellow and white roses.
But as it was, he had not and neither had I so this was my wedding, not one I was looking forward to as such but one that would certainly benefit me.
I walked into the back room of the church in anticipation of the wedding; I didn't feel like greeting the guests, besides it wasn't heard of. So I stood by the window of the old church waiting for eight o'clock to come.
Another thing that wasn't my choice, but something I was happy about. A night ceremony.
My mother had wanted us to have a daytime wedding but I had talked to my father about having it at night, under the stars and he had managed to somehow convince my mother that this was the best option.
I watched as the moon started to rise into the darkening sky and the sun started to descend past the horizon, sighing I leaned out of the window.
Suddenly a loud knock sounded at the door.
"Only me." Came a voice.
"Come in." I called and in walked my maid of honour, Mary.
I smiled at her as she walked up to me, my mother had also chosen the dresses to be worn by the bridesmaids, needless to say Mary wasn't happy with the choice.
"Only for you." She stated, making noises at the state of the dress. I laughed, she almost looked as bad as me, but as she constantly pointed out to me, she would have given anything to be in my position right now. She thought Edward was wonderful. Unfortunately for both of us though she was already married.
"Anyway you're due out in half an hour, okay?" She smiled at me and then shook her head at me while walking out of the room.
"I hope you know how lucky you are." She said as she closed the door behind her.
I sighed and turned back to the window.
'In half an hour I'm going to be married to a man I don't love, but on the plus side I will have security and a good home for the rest of my life.' But was that enough, I wasn't sure.
Leaning back out onto the windowsill I watched as the sun disappeared from view and the stars started to make their appearance. One in particular shined out brightly at me, sparkling in the darkening sky. I watched it for a while and sighed.
"Where are you?" I whispered as the unseasonably warm wind blew past me and carried my question away with it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
At about 8:00pm I escaped the noise of the crowds of people, the flirting girls, the banging music and the dazzling lights and walked out onto the porch way of the hall.
The night had been okay, June had been spending more time with Tai after I made them dance with each other while I got a soda, which was a blessing for me as my toes had been getting quite sore.
This dance was kind of like the social event of the year for our school and I had been asked on countless occasions to escort many different girls to it, but I had already organised to go with Mimi. That plan hadn't worked though. Joe had confessed to me how he felt about her and I already knew from conversations that she liked him too, but didn't think he was interested in her. So I did the friend thing and set them up, but that had left me dateless a week before the dance. So I had been forced into going with June as she had been 'saving herself for me', whether that had a hidden meaning or not I knew I didn't want to find out.
Shuddering slightly I moved towards the grounds surrounding the huge hall. There were flowerbeds in every direction and a fountain right in the middle of all the gardens.
I walked towards it, as I couldn't find any to sit. As I walked I saw couples scattered about the garden and wasn't at all shocked to find my brother and Kari half-hidden behind a tree and kissing like there was no tomorrow.
I smiled at them I knew the over-protective brotherly thing to do was to march over there and pull them apart and then give them a lecture about responsibility and using precautions, but they were in love. And I knew neither of them would rush into anything they weren't ready for.
So I walked on towards the fountain.
My brother was so lucky; he'd found the one person in life he was meant to be with forever. I wished I could do that. Tai would've had a fit if he knew I thought like this, but it was true. I wanted someone I could tell anything to; someone who made my heart beat widely whenever they were around and someone who could make me happy just by smiling. But how unlikely was it that that would ever happen to me?
I shook my head free of the thoughts as I reached the fountain.
The sound of the cool, running water seemed to calm my mind and I sat down on the edge of the structure, lifting my head to look at the stars.
One of them was twinkling brightly in the now dark sky; I watched it for a while.
'It would be nice to find someone, a sole mate though.' I thought.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As I continued to watch the star I was aware of the minutes ticking by to my wedding ceremony. But I refused to acknowledge this; I didn't want to think about what was about to happen, so I concentrated on the now dazzling white star.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As I continued to watch the star it seemed to grow brighter and brighter. Shaking my head I looked up at it again. As I did this I felt a warm gust of wind blow past me.
'Strange.' I thought, that the wind could be that warm during winter, but even more strangely and this caused me to jump up in surprise I heard a voice with it.
"Where are you?" It whispered.
"What…" I started to say looking upwards.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I fixed my eyes on the star, why was it this bright? Surely it hadn't been this bright before, but it must have been. It wouldn't just get that bright in five minutes, would it? I shook my head and looked at it again, but this time I had to bring my hand to my eyes in order to shield them from the light.
"What's…" I started but I never got to finish as a great light surrounded my body and lifted me up and out of the window.
I turned in time to see my mother come into the room calling my name and stop dead, in the centre of it as she saw me.
I tried to call out to her, but I couldn't hear my own voice, I attempted to grab the window frame more in fear of falling then anything else, but my efforts were in vain.
I was lifted out of the window and some way across the small town before watching it disappear and new scenery appear below me.
I screamed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I looked up as I heard a scream from somewhere above me and would have jumped up again in surprise if I wasn't already standing.
I watched in horror as a young girl plummeted towards me from above and I did the only thing I could think of. I out-stretched my arms ready to catch her.
There we go. The first chapter finished, hope you all like and that it wasn't too far fetched, please review, I love knowing what you guys think.
