CHAPTER 4:

The big day finally came. Chuu, Jin, Rinku, Shishi, Sazuka and Touya all returned the day before and were introduced to Kanu and briefed on the situation. None of them were too happy with it, but they still treated Kanu with as much respect as you could expect out of them. Touya had even taken her on a tour of a couple of the trails that the others were too busy to show her before. Now it was time for them to catch the train to town. They all decided it was best to dress when they got there. Hiei wasn't going to wear anything fancy. He thought his cloak was good enough. He also thought he could get there faster than the train if he had just run but Kurama made him use the train. He said if he wasn't going to dress up, the least he could do is keep himself clean. He muttered and finally gave in. It was sister's wedding and the least he could do was look like he cared.

Keiko had her heart set on an American style wedding so that's what they were doing. Everything started off fine. Everything was where it was supposed to be, the wedding party was all there and the brides had already been taken to the dressing rooms when the rest of the gang got there. That's when the fun started. First, Kuwabara and Yusuke had the wrong tuxedos. Yusuke's pants fell down when tried to put them on. After they got that figured out, Yusuke couldn't figure out how to put his tux ON. There were too many pieces to it. Kurama came in to help him.

"Haven't you ever worn a tuxedo?" he asked.

"No. I didn't even wear one to my own FUNERAL!"

Kurama laughed.

After Yusuke got the tux on correctly, all the guys met in the hall before guests started coming in. "Ok guys, this is it. You know what to do. Before we get started, I'd like you all to meet my mother, Atsuko." Yusuke led his mom into the lobby. And gave her a hug.

"You're actually sober mom." Yusuke said in surprise.

"Yeah, but don't expect it to last too long. As soon as we hit the reception it's party time!" She said.

Yusuke laughed a loving laugh and Chuu started to blush. He went over to Atsuko and took her hand kissing it. "My name is Chuu lovely lady. You're boy Yusuke here is a great guy."

"Suck up." Yusuke mumbled.

Atsuko smirked. "Well, since I don't get to go in for awhile, do you mind showing me back to my private quarters, Chuu?"

"MOTHER!" Yusuke shouted.

"Don't worry, this part of the day is about you and Keiko. I'll have my fun later." With that she dragged Chuu along behind her back to her dressing room.

Soon after Chuu returned, Guests started filing in. It was about an hour before the grooms came out and the procession lined up. When Sazuka saw them he started to sulk.

"How come we have to wear these plain black tuxedos and they get to wear gorgeous dresses? The beautiful Sazuka will not stand for this injustice!"

"Will you shut it! This is about Yusuke and his woman not your sorry hide!" Chuu told him. From that moment on, Sazuka kept all of his complaining to himself. Hiei and the ushers sat in the back row as the wedding started. One by one the brides maids grooms men came in. One bride's maid in particular caught Rinku's eye. The entire ceremony he had his eye on her. The first bride to come in was Keiko. She wore a beautiful white gown with beads all over the chest. The Train followed her for 5 feet. She looked so happy as her father ushered her to the alter. The veil was over her face but you could tell she was smiling. This was her day. Once Keiko got to the alter it was Yukina's turn. Yukina wore a beautiful baby blue satin gown. It had flowers embroidered into the chest and beads trailing down the skirt. Her headdress reached the floor and her veil was properly in place. She was ushered in by Kurama. She had asked Hiei but he declined, saying that he would make a fool of her if he did it. Kurama kissed her hand and left her at the alter. The ceremony went smoothly until they got to "you may kiss the brides". Kuwabara flipped up Yukina's veil and got a flash back of the dream in which he kissed Yusuke.

"AHHHHH!!! IT'S MY WORST NIGHTMARE!!" He shouted.

"Hey," Yusuke said, "That's my line!" That earned him a smack from Keiko and then a giant kiss.

Kuwabara explained himself and then kissed Yukina for all he was worth.

Finally, the ceremony was over and it was time for the reception. Atsuko didn't even wait to get there to start drinking. She raided the limo's mini bar and started making out with Chuu. When they finally got there, Keiko's hair was messed up so badly it had to be fixed and Atsuko was already drunk. They sat everyone down and got things started with the food and booze. Kurama and the gang sat at a private table. Kanu was a little uncomfortable with all of the alcohol. Kurama told her he had no plans on drinking and had told Shizuru she was only allowed 3 glasses of beer. When everyone started dancing Hiei and Kanu were left alone at the table. Something possessed him to go ask her for a dance. She did not refuse, not wanting to be left out. When they got up there, the gang watched them. No one knew Hiei knew how to dance. While they danced Kanu got a glimpse of something. There was a twinge in her brain. She had no idea it was saying to her but something was there. There was something important she was supposed to know. Finally the song ended and they sat down. Hiei looked her in the eyes for the first time all day and smirked. It was barely noticeable, but he smirked.

For the next few minutes it was chaos. Rinku was chasing the girl he had the hots for and Chuu and Atsuko were getting even drunker than they already were. To make things even more chaotic, Koenma appeared in his teenage form. Everything stopped and all the girls that weren't taken, Kanu excluded, ran up to him all googly eyed.
"Come now ladies, there's plenty of me to go around."

After that the evening slowly started to wind down. The 2 couples left for their honeymoon after a word from Koenma. And most of the girls went home while the guys stayed to clean up. Hiei took Kanu back to the shrine because she was feeling ill from all the people.

All in all it was a pretty interesting day. Hiei decided to go sit in his tree and let Kanu relax. Kanu decided to take a nice hot bath. After she soaked awhile, she realized that she had forgotten her pajamas.

"Oh well. Hiei is outside and my room is just across the hall. I'll dress in there. She sat in the bath for about half an hour. When she got out, she wrapped up in a towel and looked in the hall to make sure no one had come home yet. When she confirmed it, she ran to her room and shut her door.

When Hiei heard the door shut he looked in her window to make sure everything was ok. His eyes met with a completely naked, dripping wet Kanu. He felt the excitement build with in him and he could not tear his eyes away. He wanted to but he couldn't. He watched as she dried herself, being extra careful of the wounds on her back. A memory flashed to him. It was how she got the original scars. He saw her in a fight. She was fighting with another female fighter. They were both excellent fighters. By the looks of the fight they should have won easily. He heard a scream from the other fighter. She had been punched in the stomach and there was blood running down her legs. She had been with child. Kanu faltered for a mere second to look at her friend. That was the last thing she saw before her world went black. When she woke up, she was in a house. She felt no pain from her injuries and wondered how long she had been out. She got up and walked around, looking for someone that she knew. When she found someone it was another person she recognized. Kara! She must know what happened to Tami.

"Kara, where's Tami? Is she ok. What about the baby?" Kanu asked frantically.

"Kanu, Kara's been dead for 10 years. The baby and her died the night you were injured. We got you back on your feet and you left us. We haven't seen you for 10 long years and suddenly you show up out of no where last night. Now you act like you want to save her?"
Kanu had tears in her eyes. "I... I don't remember... The last thing I remember is.. Turning to look at Kara when I heard her scream."

"You're telling the truth aren't you."

Kanu sobbed.

Hiei came back to reality and saw Kanu standing in front of the window, her naked form before him. She looked him in the eye, tears running down her face, and said "Now you know."
