3rd Wedding: Castle Princess

Ema

Being in the bedroom of an Irish princess was a new experience for me, especially since my prince was in the adjacent tower. I was ready for the ceremony, with my hair, makeup and dress all in place. A knock at the door and my brothers were allowed in, except for Yuusuke, who was probably with Miwa-san at the moment.

My makeup was subtle, but bright. Louis-san spent five hours putting three-foot-long extensions in my hair and braiding. My hair was braided into a ring on the back of my head, with the rest just hanging down, like a fancy ponytail. My veil was a circlet tiara that fit perfectly around my head. Louis-san began instructing Ukyo-san on how to braid the lilies into my hair.

My dress was a beautiful, tulle ball gown, with a straight neckline. The bodice had loose pieces of satin held in little clusters by small, white rhinestones. The skirt was just straight tulle and was unbelievably poofy.

"There, finished," Louis-san announced.

He straightened out my skirt in the back and began playing with my hair again.

"Onee-san you're a princess!" Wataru-chan cheered.

Natsume-san put a hand on my shoulder as we all stared into the floor-length mirror.

"Is this what you wanted?" he asked.

I rolled my eyes and playfully punched him. We laughed and each of my brothers took a picture with me. After, I sat down on the bed, while Louis-san continued playing with my hair.

"How does Yuusuke look in his white tux?" I asked as my brothers sat in the various chairs in the spacious room.

"He looks fine, calm down imouto-san," Tsubaki-san responded.

"Though we did manage to get him to take his hair out of those disgusting braids," Fuuto-kun commented.

I glared at the boy who was now eighteen, but still just as spoiled as ever.

"Fuu-chan, it's your brother's wedding. Not a good time to piss off his bride-to-be, especially when you're in love with her too," Kaname-san replied.

"He's just going to rub it in my face anyway!" he responded.

"He deserves to," I hissed and Fuuto-kun pouted.

"Someone's a little edgy," Hikaru-san commented again.

"Don't start with me tranny," I snapped.

Mahoko ran into the room and pulled me to my feet.

"Geez Mahoko, what's wrong?" I inquired.

"Why do you always think that something is wrong? Everything is right! Besides, stop worrying, everything is set to go," she explained, twirling me in a circle.

"But-"

"No "buts", today you are a princess, and princesses don't worry on their wedding day. They let the servants do that. We are your servants today," she continued.

I looked at my brothers and they nodded.

"Boys go down into the garden, Ema, wait here for your father," Mahoko instructed, ushering the boys out of the room.

A few minutes later, Papa walked in with Juli on his shoulder.

"Chi!" Juli called worriedly and jumped to my shoulder. "Why are you marrying that one?"

"Because I love Yuusuke," was my response.

Juli huffed but then nodded giving his blessing, I pet him and walked to the top of the stairs with Papa and waited for the music to begin. When the music started, Papa and I began walking down the stairs and out into the garden. Yuusuke stood at the end of the aisle, his hair was less spiky than normal, and his hair was tied in a low bundle that hung forward over his shoulder. He was blushing and wore a smug grin, clearly satisfied that he had beaten his brothers at their own game. I smiled at him and Papa shook his hand before handing me off to him. We walked up to where the officiant was waiting.

The officiant for the ceremony was Kaname-san. Who instead of his monk uniform, wore a black suit with a white undershirt and a pale yellow tie. He began the ceremony with the usual introduction and the reading of the longest script ever imagined. Yuusuke and I just smiled at each other and listened intently to Kaname-san's rant. Though it was just as terrible as the rehearsal because we both were hoping for him to shut up soon.

"May I have the rings please?" Kaname-san asked.

Wataru-chan skipped up to Kaname-san, underneath our hands. We patted his head and Kaname-san took the rings from him. Yuusuke and I took each other's rings and began to read our vows. Yuusuke pulled out a notecard.

"Ema, you've known for years that I've never been able to commit to much, and that I've never had much of a way with words like other people. But when I first saw you in primary school, and then again in high school, I knew that you would change something in me. You have brought me great happiness and great struggle. But that struggle is why I'm standing here before you today as a man who is worthy of your love," he read, then took a knee and placed the ring on my finger then kissed my hand. " I love you Ema. I always have and always will."

"Yuusuke, I've known you for as long as I can remember. Every memory I have of my friends, you're there sharing in the moment, and I'm happy that you've been here with me all this time. Through good and bad, you and I have been inseparable, as fate seems to favor us. But today isn't about fate or the past. It's about the future, and the love we share. I love you Yuusuke, I always have and always will," I recited as I placed the ring on his finger.

"Are there any objections?" Kaname-san inquired.

Yuusuke and I glared at Fuuto-kun, who opened his mouth to say something, but then abruptly closed it when his mother whacked him. She smiled and nodded.

"You may now kiss the bride," Kaname-san announced.

Yuusuke and I kissed and walked back down the aisle and up to the balcony that overlooked the garden. We kissed again for Miwa-san's pictures then I turned and tossed the bouquet behind me. I turned and saw Hikaru-san snatch it out of the air before Wataru-chan could catch it. Wataru-chan protested that Hikaru-san had cheated and Hikaru-san explained to him that life wasn't fair and that a lot of people cheat, but that Wataru-chan shouldn't because it's bad. With a satisfying, collective laugh, everyone began heading into the ballroom of the palace where the reception was to be held. Louis-san brought me into a powder room, to redo my makeup.

"Well done imouto-chan, you managed to turn out delinquent brother into a man," Kaname-san commented raising his eyebrows suggestively.

I face-palmed and Iori-san smiled and patted Yuusuke on the back. "Well done little brother. It takes a lot of skill to improve your life, ruin Fuuto's and take the ultimate prize all at the same time."

Yuusuke smiled and Louis-san went to work on his hair after my makeup as finished. Wataru-chan continued playing with my skirt, marveling at how poofy it was. When Yuusuke was done, he pulled me into a hug.

"You look beautiful Ema," he commented.

He pulled me closer and tucked my head underneath his chin, so I couldn't see that he was smiling triumphantly at his brothers. He pulled back a moment later, "c'mon. Let's go have a good time."

I smiled and he led me out of the room we danced into the ballroom, I first danced with my father, then with Yuusuke. When it was time for the speeches, we sat down on our thrones and waited for the fun to begin.

Fuuto-kun was first. "Hello everyone, I am Asakawa Fuuto or known among my family as Asahina Fuuto. I am the second youngest brother of this family and I do not approve of this wedding."

The room stared at him in shock and he continued. "I can't find a logical answer, or imagine a logical universe where this wedding is possible."

"Of course you can't. Because you're in the universe that it's occurring in," Hikaru-san pointed out.

I was angry now. I stood, took the microphone from Fuuto-kun and tossed it to Tsubaki-san before dragging the boy out into the garden and throwing him on the ground. I lifted him back up by his collar and pushed him against one of the pillars of the castle.

"If you're joking, it's not funny. If you're not, then too bad. I don't like you Fuuto. And after that little stunt, I will never like you. You have ruined my wedding. Get over yourself before I put you over my knee," I hissed, and for once, the boy looked terrified.

I threw him back towards the ballroom and everyone stared at us as we made our entrance.

"I don't really care whether you like it or not. Yuusuke is my husband. I am his wife. Get over it," I snapped.

"Alright fine!" he shouted. "I'm sorry. I apologize for behaving like such a spoiled brat."

"You were right, your acting skills have been getting better," I hissed and pushed him over to Yuusuke.

"Apologize honestly to him, or I will make you wish you had," I whispered bitterly into his ear.

"Yuusuke, I'm sorry for saying what I said," he apologized.

I smiled and pushed him back towards his seat. I smiled sweetly and Tsubaki-san took the reigns of the reception.

"Well since our rude little brother decided to make a scene, we're going to skip the speeches. So let's get on with the party!" he began, firing up everyone in the room.

The castle was then filled with music from the dj booth where the triplets were taking turns. It scared me a bit to have the three of them dj for the night, but their selection wasn't terrible and they were all very entertaining. So we just danced the night away.

After the party had ended and everything was put away, we all went back to our rooms. Yuusuke and I went into the bedroom I had been locked away in earlier that morning and stripped before jumping into the bed. Yuusuke pulled me close and kissed my forehead.

"I don't care what Fuuto says, not anymore. Because I have the one thing that I've always wanted. I have you Ema. Nothing can stop me now, especially not my asshole of a little brother," he said reassuringly.

I smiled and kissed his jaw, "I know, but I was holding in all that anger for some time now. It seemed to be like the only logical situation where I could let it out and it be acceptable."

"I love you Ema."

"I love you too Yuusuke."

He smiled and brought his lips to mine before disappearing under the covers.

Pookie: Yay! Done with Chapter 3!

Ema: Just how random is this? And what's with that ending?!

Pookie: My friends keep picking low numbers, except this person I asked said 11 so I was like "Okay! I'm going to drop off the face of the Earth until it's done! Bye!" Also Kaname has a weird influence on people...

Ema: You can't just do that to people.

Pookie: I'm still forced to go to school.

Ema: Please read and review!
