Author's Note: Hiiii everyone! I'm really excited about this chapter as I took quite a while on it! SOOOOO VERYY SORRRIEIEEEE for not updating for such an utterly ridiculous amount of time. For the previous chapter, there was a mistake as I stated that it would be a oneshot, but that is a mistake and I will alter it as soon as I can. Anyway, please enjoy this chapter as I did a lot of research on some bits to make sure that the facts were correct. I apologise for any spelling or grammatical mistakes that I have made as I very desperately wanted to finish this by today.
*DISCLAIMER* Although I have wished a million times, Kaichou wa Maid-sama will never be mine.
From Now On Until Forever
She slowly walked down the aisle that was elaborately decorated with beautiful roses. Specifically red and pink roses. Red roses signified love and desire, pink roses signified beauty. It was not the customary wedding, where the father of the bride would lead the bride down the aisle. Instead, at this wedding, the mother was the one doing so. Misaki could not believe that this day would ever be possible, especially not during their past high school days at Seika High. Most importantly, she could not believe that that perverted outer-space alien had actually talked her into something like this!
The ballroom was beautiful. Too beautiful. As Misaki took another step down the aisle with her mother's arm around hers, she felt like the odd one out. She thought of herself as the most average person, not anyone special at all. Misaki glanced left and right. All the guests were holding an invitation in their hands. On the invitation were words written in almost perfect cursive writing.
"Two lives, two hearts
joined together in friendship
united forever in love.
It is with joy that we,
Usui Takumi And
Misaki Ayuzawa
invite you to share
in a celebration of love
as we exchange our marriage
vows."
At the bottom of the invitation was the venue, date and time of the wedding. Misaki felt her face turning red as all the guests turned to look at her. Thinking quickly, Misaki decided to look straight down at the aisle, but that was a wrong choice. A certain person was standing at the end of the aisle, waiting. He was dressed in a black tuxedo, looking marvellously perfect, just like always. His mouth broke into a tender smile as Misaki's face glowed red with embarrassment.
Misaki did not look like any average person at that moment. She was wearing a long sleeveless dress with ruffles along the upper part of the skirt. The skirt had a long train that swept across the ground as Misaki carefully tried to walk calmly without tripping. She looked stunning.
After what seemed like an eternity of walking, Misaki and Minako finally reached the end of the aisle where Minako gently let go of Misaki's hand, whispering to Takumi, "Take care of her. I trust that you will." Takumi nodded slightly, not enough for others to see, but just enough for Minako to see. She trusted Takumi, she knew that he would always take care of her. She walked towards a table, where Suzuna was sitted, and sat down beside her.
Misaki did not look at Takumi as the preacher said the traditional questions that were always asked, "Do you, Usui Takumi, take Misaki Ayuzawa as your friend, lover and wife, and be there for her in times of plenty and in times of want, in times of sickness and in times of health, in times of joy and in times of sorrow, in times of failure and in times of triumph?"
"I do."
"And, do you, Misaki Ayuzawa, take Usui Takumi as your friend, lover and wife, and be there for her in times of plenty and in times of want, in times of sickness and in times of health, in times of joy and in times of sorrow, in times of failure and in times of triumph?"
"… I… do…"
The preacher cleared his throat.
"Are then any objections? If there are, speak now or forever hold your peace." He scanned the ballroom. No one stood up.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife."
The newlywed couple gazed at each other as the wedding rings were carefully slid onto their ring fingers. Misaki blushed hard and looked down to avoid Takumi's stare. She realised that it was not the same ring that Takumi had given her that night, together with the teddy bear. That ring had been much more simple. This ring was on a whole new level. Half of it was silver, the other half was gold. There were two hearts, one silver and the other gold. Diamonds were present on that bit of the intricate ring. The entire ring was too unique and special for words.
As the normal customs went, Misaki threw the bouquet of roses that she had been holding into the air. It landed into the hands of an unexpected Sakura who was sitted beside Kuuga. Her face turned bright red. It was obvious who would be the next couple to get married in the near future. As all the other guests turned to applause for Sakura and Kuuga, Misaki and Takumi shared a kiss. He lowered his face and kissed her warmly on the lips, once, twice, only moving away when all the other guests turned back to look at them.
Misaki's face flushed red when Takumi ignored the guests that were looking at them and kissed her, again. The guests, which consisted of all their friends that they had had during their high school days, or specifically Misaki's demon president days, applauded as Misaki blushed, again.
She hadn't blushed for so long since Takumi had left so many years ago, Misaki had thought that that habit of blushing that she had in the past was long gone. But apparently, it had no problem appearing again, after Takumi had come back.
The couple went onto the stage, saying their thanks to all their guests. Misaki tried to say them casually, but it was all a futile attempt as she stammered through, "Ermm… Tha... Thanks... fo... for coming… to… to… day…" Takumi stood by her side and chuckled as she struggled to speak, he clearly thought that the embarrassed Misaki was cute.
This was not the same Misaki from 5 years ago, the demonic aura had vanished… Takumi really was her drug… She had never imagined that such a day was even possible! Takumi was the one who made Misaki believe that there were actually a few good guys in the world, after her father had left. She had never really believed that Takumi would really fulfil his promise and come back, even though he was right there beside her.
As they went down the stage, it was as though Takumi had read her mind earlier on. He spoke. "Like I said so many years ago, no matter what kind of path I choose, if some sort of sacrifice must be made, it's only Ayuzawa I'll not sacrifice. Because if I think I'm with Ayuzawa, I can overcome anything." When he saw Misaki blush, Takumi decided to tease her just a bit more. "I think I meant Misaki Usui, not Ayuzawa." Misaki burst out, "Baka!" Her face burning bright and fiery red.
When they finally had one precious moment alone together, Takumi leaned towards Misaki and lightly kissed her forehead. He whispered, gently, "I love you. From now on until forever. More than anyone else."

Well, how was it? I searched a lot to find the perfect dress and ring for Misaki. I feel that I did not describe it very well, so I have left the links for the dress and ring on my profile, please take a look and give me your opinions, in the form of REVIEWS! I know I should not be asking for much, seeing as I have not been active for so long, but still, thank you and thank you to all those wonderful readers that reviewed my stories in the past, I hope that you will continue to do so! Also, this is the longest story I have ever written, and I only wrote something as long as this (its long to me, anyway : ) as I remembered that someone had reviewed, asking me to write longer stories. I can't remember your name, but thanks for that review, it was what motivated me to continue writing. Thank you everyone and please R&R! Have a nice day then! ^^
Xoxo, Angelix3 (:
