Thank you for all reading and following ^-^! I do not own OHSHC, I just own my own my characters. Now, let's get on with the story, shall we? ^-^
It had been three weeks since that incident with Yukari and the arranged marriage. Due to what he had done, he ended up just returning to the states with his parents, who had failed to tell her father that their son had two previous engagements, and each one ended in the same as his did with Yukari. That next day the club had found out what had happened, which ended up with the twins fussing over her, hugging on her like they do Haruhi, because they had felt sorry for her. Poor Haruhi last week had deal with the Zuka Club, and then everyone showing up at her house that same weekend.
The door open to Music Room 3# and everyone's head turned to see Yukari walking in, with a big grin on her face. "I hope y'all didn't miss me too much."
"Yukari, your back! How did your kendo championship go? Did you win?" Tamaki asked, he was happy that his little hostess was back from her weeklong trip to Novara, Italy.
"Well, I didn't compete as it was only the youth division, but we won first place." She said with a smile giving them a thumbs up, she was so proud of her class. She had only talked to three members of the club while she was gone, which was Kyoya, to get the assignments she had missed, she had talked to Honey about what had happen while she was gone, and Mori. Though, it was a little hard with the time zones, Mori always made it a point to text her before she went to bed to at least see how her day was. Mostly it was relating to kendo, but they would talk about other things as well.
"Oh no, what do we do!?" Hikaru screamed, soon after Kaoru jumped on him, trying to get him to not wake up Honey from his nap. Tamaki nearly had a heart attack when he noticed tea had spilt all over Usa-chan. Usa-chan was Honey's favorite stuff animal and that was the only stuff animal that he took with him everywhere.
Haruhi started to walk over to where Honey was sleeping, but the trio was able to convenience her to stop from waking him up. Tamaki had come up with this terrible plan to get the twins to travel and get a medium to channel Honey's grandma to make him a new one, but they had pointed out that they didn't have the time. Then they tried to get Haruhi to put on the bunny costume, which she refused to do as well. They all noticed was about to wake up and he saw the teddy bear Tamaki had laid on the couch, which he threw down, causing Tamaki to go cry. He walked over to the table and noticed that Usa-chan was dirty, and talked in a low serious voice. "Who got Usa-chan dirty?"
The twins and Tamaki started to freak out, and called out for Mori to save them, which he did. He walked over to them and nodded. "Usa-chan wanted tea. So he had tea."
"Ohhh! That's why he's so dirty. Think he'll want some cake?"
"Maybe, but I know someone who would want some authentic Italian desert." Yukari said as she stepped out from behind Mori, grinning down at Honey.
"Yu-chan! You're back!" Honey yelled as he tackled hug her, smiling. He had truly missed his friend, which he had something he needed to tell her private, it was about her being gone.
She hugged him back, she had truly missed her little friend, hell she missed everyone in the club, plus her two best friends, Honoka and Azusa. Though, there was only one member that she had missed more than anyone, and she felt her heart start beating again the moment she saw him.
The guest started to pour into the room, Yukari didn't have any appointments, so she sat with Mori and Kyoya, which Mori was reading a book and Kyoya was doing the books for the club, he seriously looked like was going to cry.
She was watching Honey start eating the cake that Haruhi had brought him, but she noticed that he winced slightly, not alerting the others to his pain. She stood up and walked over to him, looking down at him. "Honey-senpai…let me see your mouth."
Honey was holding his right cheek with his hand, as he waved with his other hand. "No, I'm fine, Yu-chan."
He had a shadow casted over him and saw Mori looking down at him, he had threw him down on the couch, forcing his mouth open, and seeing that there was a cavity. "Tamaki." That was all he needed to hear, and he turned around, looking at everyone. "If I may have your attention, until Honey-senpai gets over his cavity, I must ask y'all not to see snacks in the club room."
Honey started to cry when Mori took his cake away, begging him not to take sweets away from him, which Mori turned around and looked at him, "No more cake." You'd think Honey just lost his best friend when he heard that.
He ran over crying to Yukari, who just held him in her arms, trying to comfort him. "Shh…don't worry Honey-senpai, this shouldn't last but a few days." She tried to calm him, but he was just not having it. They all knew this was going to be a very long few days. She tried to cheer up, she was going to tell him that she'll bake him a nice cake for him, but she knew telling him that right now would just make matters worth.
The past several days had been severely hard on Honey, as Mori and everyone else made it to where there were no cake in the club room and made sure he didn't have any on him. Honey wasn't the only taking this hard, so was Mori, as he has been more distant and quiet ever since the cavity incident happened. Yukari was sitting around the table with everyone, as they watched Honey walk around in circles by the door that they kept sweets behind.
"I can't bear to watch this…" Yukari said.
"He's going to crash soon. "Hikaru said, as Kaoru nodded his head in agreement.
Honey started to head for the door, which everyone jumped up, besides Kyoya or Mori, who both knew that there was nothing to worry about. "Don't worry, there is nothing in there." Kyoya said with a smile on his face, he was truly happy that there were no more sweets around, only because that was money they didn't have to spend."
He walked in there and saw the pantry was empty, with Tamaki's teddy bear being the only thing in the pantry, for some unknown reason. He took the teddy bear out, staring at it for a few seconds and then slammed it on the floor out of anger. Tamaki screamed and cried out to his stuffed animal, which everyone hung their head in shame.
Honey walked out of the pantry and face planted in the floor, he had officially given up. Tamaki walked over to him, bending down to his level. "Well, there he goes. Three days and he gives up."
Honey looked up at him angrily and bit down on Tamaki's hand, causing him to run around in circles as he had his jaws locked on his hand, not letting go. Everyone was frightened to go near him, but they wanted to save Tamaki from losing his hand to the Honey-piranha that he had turned into. Mori had walked up to him, glaring down at him. "Mitsukuni, don't take this out on other people."
Tamaki rubbed his poor hand, crying slightly. "Oh, I thought I was a goner. Thank you Mori-senpai."
Mori was still looking down at him. "It's distasteful."
"Takashi…you idiot!" Honey yelled, as he grabbed Mori's arm, and threw him over his shoulder, flinging him to the ground. "That's it. I hate you. I hate you, Takashi." Everyone gasped when he had heard what he had said to him. He had stormed out the room, as Mori looked down at the ground, sighing. He glanced over at Yukari, who nodded and ran after Honey, as she was the only who he trusted to take care of him.
"Honey-senpai…hold on." Honey stopped looking up at her, crying, and he ran back to her, clinging to her waist. "Hey now, don't cry…it's alright."
"Why is he so mean?"
She patted his head. "He's not mean, he's just looking out for you. You should know that better than anyone else."
He looked up at her, sobbing. He was even adorable when he was upset. "Yu-chan…can I ask you a question?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Do you like Takashi?"
That question hit her like a ton of bricks, her face slowly becoming red, she laughed a little. "Wait…what?! What makes you ask that?"
"You're the only one he smiles at and when you were gone all week, he looked sad. He may not show it or seem like it, but he does like you. I've never seen rush out of the house like he did the night you texted him. You're going to have to make the first move, he has no idea how to express his feelings or even what to do. He's afraid of being rejected."
She gave him a small smile as she placed her hand on her chest, sighing a little. She could feel her heart racing, she wasn't sure what to do, but it made her happy to hear that. She took his hand and walked back to the salon, smiling down at him. "Let's get through this and we'll see what happens."
They walked to the door, cracking it open, to listen in on the conversation. It was obvious Mori was really upset, he had did what he did to get a punishment from Honey.
"I don't see how this is your fault…he's old enough to know to brush his teeth." The twins said, as they looked confused as what Mori had told them.
"Still…I should've reminded him. I couldn't have lived with myself if he had not thrown me and yelled at me."
"That's why you said all those things…you felt like you needed a punishment from Honey-senpai."
"Yes."
Everyone looked up to see the door open up, with Honey shedding tears, as he hugged Usa-chan closely. Yukari patted his head, smiling down at him. "Tell me, Honey-senpai, what will you do now?"
"Takashi!"
Honey ran up to him crying, as he the bigger man embraced him. He was truly sorry for he had said to him. "I'm sorry, Takashi. I'm so sorry that I said those mean things to you. Can you forgive me?" He looked up at him with big teary eyes. Mori nodded his head. "Yeah."
"I promise I will never forget to brush my teeth." Honey cried, as Mori patted his head, trying to comfort him. He was just happy that they were getting back to normal.
"This is such a tear jerking, happy ending story!" Kaoru cried, as Hikaru grabbed him into one of their many poses, cupping his chin, looking down at him. "Oh Kaoru, you're the only one who makes me have such happy endings."
"You have got to be kidding me." Haruhi said, as she sighed a little.
It wasn't until the next day, when Honey's cavity went away. He happily ate his cake, as the pantry was now full of all kinds of sweets. Of course, not everyone was happy about the ban on sweets, one person was depressed. Kyoya was over in the corner, surrounded by darkness, as he worked on the budget for the club, which now included sweets and the money that they did save from not buying sweets, went down the drain, within ten minutes of ordering all of those sweets.
Yukari walked up to Honey and smiled, placing a giant chocolate cake down in front of him. "I made this especially for you, Honey-senpai."
"Haha, thank you Yu-chan! You're the greatest, think for my birthday you'll make me a giant cake? With tons of flavors mixed in?"
"Of course, I'll be more than happy to do that for you." Yukari said as curled up on the window seal behind him, smiling at him as she started to work on designs in her sketch book. She glanced over at Honey, who had finished the cake she had made for him already, and looked up at Mori, who was talking with the others, he looked over her, his eyes meeting her eyes, both of them blushing. She looked back down at what she was doing, going over that conversation she had with Honey in her head, her lips slowly curling up into a smile.
"Excuse me?"
"Oh my, looks like we have a new guest. Are you a fan of Mori-senpai?"
Mori looked surprised to see her, as so did Haruhi. She had saw them, well, her, talking to him a few days ago. She had walked up to him, and sighed a little. "Well Mori, I think I understand now. I know who you feel so strongly about, and it's alright." She looked over at Honey and back at him. "To think Honey, is so special to you…it's…so…YAY!"
Renge welcomed her to the club, screaming something about "Moe". Mori had looked over at where Honey sat, but it wasn't Honey who he felt so strongly about, but the person behind him. He didn't know what to say or do, but being around her was good enough for him at the moment.
Later that night…
Honey and Mori were studying in the study, when Honey knew this was his chance. "Hey, Takashi…can I ask you a question?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you like Yu-chan?"
Mori was hit by those words, he slowly turned his head to look at him, seeing him smiling so happily, he was wondering where in the world that had come from. He tried to shake off with what he had said and hide his blush. "Mitsukuni…"
Honey grinned even more, he knew he was hiding his feelings. "Oh come on, Takashi…you can't hide anything from me. So, what's the problem?"
"I…don't know what to say."
"Just tell her."
"Easier said than done. Plus…I have no idea how she feels."
Honey threw his book at him, which Mori looked at him with huge eyes. This was the second time ever that Honey had hit him, the other was the other day during his cavity melt down. "Takashi, you idiot! She does like you, I've talked to her. Both of you are so heard headed and naïve when it comes to feelings."
He didn't know what to say to that, a part of him felt relieved, but the other part of him was worried. He had no idea how his parents would react to her, of course, they would probably like her, and she would fit in perfectly. She was skilled at kendo, came from a prominent family, had similar values as him, she was perfect. Yes, they both were so new to feelings, that they always got tongue twisted when they were around one another. He always thought back to that night she had texted him and he ran to her, knowing that she needed him.
"Mitsukuni…I…"
While he was in mid-sentence, there was a knock at the door and a maid walked in, bowing to the two. "I'm sorry to intrude Master Takashi and Master Mitsukuni, but Master Akira wishes to see you two, sir." She bowed again and left, leaving the two to wonder what was going on.
Walking down to the living, they saw both of their parents sitting around the table with a beautiful young woman. She had shoulder length black hair, big brown eyes, and wore a red dress that went down to her knees. She noticed the boys had walked in, and gave them a sweet smile, confusing the two even more. They were motioned to sit down, with Takashi's father looking at him sternly. "Do you know why I have summoned you?"
"No, sir."
"You're the eldest son, heir to the Morinozuka family, but to claim your position as head of the family once I pass it on to you, you need a bride."
"Hmm."
Akira coughed a little, and looked over to the young lady, smiling a little. "Takashi, I want you to meet Princess Noriko of Kuni, her great-grandfather was the brother of Empress Kojun."
"Hmm?" What was his father getting at, introducing him to her? She must be staying here for a little while or even one of his clients, who needs protection and needs his help. Whatever the case was, he wanted this over with and quick.
"I was hoping this could wait, but due to preparation that has to be made in a matter of days on her part, so I have arranged for her to marry you."
His eye twitched when he had heard his father spoke to him. Did he just say marriage? This didn't make any sense…why was he doing this? Did he even hear him right? No, this is surely a misunderstanding…it has to be.
"It will take place here, tomorrow evening."
Honey was in shock, there was no way that this could be happening. He looked up at his cousin, who was slowly withering away…this was no good, not good at all. He needed to tell Yu-chan right away and figure out a way to stop this.
Noriko leaned into him, looking up at him. "My, aren't you handsome. I actually picked you out of twenty different men, all whose parents' does business with my father. You were the most attractive out of them all, I'm surely glad my father could set this up."
Mori felt his heart being beaten on by all of this, he wasn't able to move or anything. He knew he had time to find a girl to marry, but he still had the rest of this year of school left to at least purpose to someone. He tried to calm his nerves as this girl flaunted over him, but it wasn't working.
"What do I do now…? I can't marry someone I just met for the first time in my life. I need to get out of this somehow…but how? I wish I could contact Yukari right now…she'd know what to do." His thoughts always return to Yukari, something would remind him of her or say something that would make him think of her.
"Also, you won't be going to school tomorrow, and for security reasons, please don't tell anybody in your host club, this little wedding will be small tomorrow. Just our family, the Haninozuka's and her close relatives."
He really wish for someone to wake him up from this nightmare right about now.
School went by very fast, but there was something off about the entire day to people, especially people in the Host Club. Everyone were whispering, wondering were both Honey and Mori were at, since they both never miss school. Tamaki noticed it when he didn't see them on the way to lunch. Kyoya had thought it was strange, but figured that they were just sick. Haruhi and the twins were confused as well, as Mori usually helps them in the mornings with their studies, but he was nowhere to be found. Yukari always had lunch with them, but ended up having lunch with Honoka and Azusa, looking over at the table that they usually eat at together. She pulled her phone, texting him.
Mori-senpai, are you okay? Why aren't you at school?"
She slipped her phone back in her book bag, and went on to eat her lunch, sighing a little. She looked outside and noticed that it was starting to rain.
"Hey, Yukari, is everything alright?"
"Yeah…just thinking."
"It's about a boy, isn't it?" Azusa asked, grinning at Honoka. They both watched her reaction when she had mentioned that. Yukari started to get flustered and she tried to hide her blush, but there was no hiding it. The girls nodded their heads, and smiled. "Oh yeah, it's a boy."
Yukari could only hang her head in defeat, there was no getting past it with these girls, and they were good at reading everyone, which she hated. They would totally be perfect for the newspaper club.
"Why do you guys always have to be right? Are you telepathic or something?"
"No, but we just know these things. So tell me about him. Does he go here? What grade is he in? What's he like?" Honoka asked as she leaned across the table, she was interested now.
"Yes, he does go here, and he's a third year. He's…quiet, but he's sweet. He's the type of guy if you needed him, he'd be there, no questions asked. He may look intimidating, but he's charming. He's…awesome." Yukari explained, with a soft smile on her face. The more she talked about him, the more her heart would beat, the blood would rush through her body, like a flood.
Honoka looked over at Azusa and back at Yukari, sitting back down in her sea, smiling a little. "You're talking about Morinozuka, aren't you?"
"How'd you know?"
"It's just obvious, only because he's the only third year with that type of personality and looks like that, plus you eat lunch with him and Haninozuka Both of you enjoy Kendo, so it's like a match made in Heaven with you two. Does he know how you feel?"
Yukari nodded her head and sighed, looking outside. "I think he does, and I know he feels the same, but we have no experience with the opposite sex, so we don't know how to express our feelings."
"It happens to the best of us, but don't let him go. Whatever you do, you fight for him. It was him that ran to you that night you had dinner with your family and that pervert, wasn't it? If he ran to you, you'll have to run to him too. Don't worry, we'll be here to help you if you need anything. Now, let's get to class. We have that math test to take."
Yukari just giggled a little and followed them. She had checked her phone and noticed no reply what's so ever, so she decided to text him again.
"Mori?"
Slipping her phone back in her bag, she sighed a little. Knowing that this wasn't him at all, could something be wrong with him? With Honey? Why wasn't he picking up his phone, it just was out of the ordinary. She couldn't focus at all, not on her test, not on the lectures for that day, not on anything. Her thoughts kept going back to that night a few weeks when he ran to her, she needed him. Was it his turn for him to need her?
She started to head to the music room, as they might know to what's going on. When she opened the door, she saw the most depressing thing in the world. Tamaki was sitting in the corner crying, as the twins were loving on Haruhi, who just wanted to punch them, and as usual, the shadow king was on his laptop, typing away on it.
"Hey guys…have any of you heard from Honey-senpai or Mori-senpai?"
"We'd thought you had heard from him, as you're the one they both talk to all the time."
"So…no one has heard from the two?" Hikaru asked.
"Maybe they had something come up or Honey is sick, you know if something's wrong with Honey-senpai, more than likely, Mori-senpai will be at home with him." Haruhi pointed out.
Yukari stared to shake her head, she started to become really worried about them. "Mori-senpai never texted me back, which is out of the ordinary for him to do."
Tamaki looked upset, he knew this was not normal for them two, and slammed his hand in his palm, nodding his head. "That's it, we'll show up to their house and see if they are alright."
"Senpai, I don't think this is a good plan…"Haruhi said, that being said, a lot of Tamaki's plan never are good…they always either end in disaster or Kyoya bails them out, but he will always wait until it's almost too late…he loves to get revenge and prove that he was right, though it almost always comes with a cost. Especially if Haruhi is involved, he just loves to blame her for everything.
"Alright fine, Hikaru and Kaoru I want you to go get us a crystal ball so we can see what they are doing!"
"Hey boss, crystal balls. "Hikaru started.
"Don't actually work, that's just a myth." Kaoru finished.
Tamaki went into a corner and cried, no one liked his plans…ever.
Yukari felt her phone vibrate in her bag and took it out, noticing that Honey was texting her. Her facial expression had went from worried to looking like you just got word that your best friend had died. She felt her heart practically stop for a second, she almost couldn't breathe. What she had read hit her with a thousand bricks.
"Yu-chan, we have a problem! Takashi's parents had arranged a marriage for him and they marry in a few hours. You have to stop this, please, Yu-chan. He needs you."
"What's wrong, Yukari?" Haruhi asked, seeing the very concerned look on her face.
"Mori-senpai…is…"
"What is he doing?"
"…he's getting married this evening."
"What?!" They all yelled at once, expect for Kyoya, who was still typing away on his laptop. He looked up at her and pushed his glasses up, sighing a little.
"This day was bound to happen, but it surprising that they are making him marry right now. Mori-senpai was free to choose a bride, but he's never dated a girl before or anything. So, I guess they were worried if they didn't intervene with someone for him to marry, that he would never marry." Kyoya explained.
"What? Why doesn't he just tell them no and that he'll find one when he's ready?" Hikaru asked as he balled his hands into a fist. He had hated the idea of arrange marriages, that they weren't nothing but political or business opportunities for their parents.
"Hikaru, you should know better than any of us that Mori-senpai won't say no to his parents, that's how they were brought up. It also could be a business matter as well, especially if it's a major client that they don't want to lose."
"So…what can we do?" Kaoru asked.
No one seem to know to the answer to that question. They weren't really sure what they could do, but one thing was for sure, they want to stop this marriage before it was a done deal. Kyoya stopped typing on his laptop, and looked over at the group. "There is one person who can stop this."
"I knew you had faith in me, Kyoya!" Tamaki said with stars in his eyes, he was overly happy, but that happiness was about to be shot down, real quick.
"No, Tamaki, not you." Kyoya said, as Tamaki went back into his corner, moping as he drew circles on the floor with his finger. "It seems Mori-senpai has taken a strong liking to our new host." Kyoya explained.
"What?! No, he can't have my little girl!" Tamaki yelled as he started to run at Kyoya, he magically slipped on a banana peel and face planted on the ground.
Kyoya looked a little annoyed at Tamaki, but sighed, shaking his head. "No, not Haruhi you idiot, but I was talking about Yukari."
Yukari blushed slightly and looked down at the ground. "Me? What can I do?"
"It's obvious that he has feelings for you, so you're the only one who can stop this. To do this, you're going to need to go now, if you want to get there in time. They are more than likely having the marriage at his estate. They have a shrine in the very back of the estate."
She knew that he needed her, even Honey told her that he did. Before she run out the door, Tamaki grabbed her hand, nodding his head at her. "Yukari…go get our silent type host back. We'll be there soon to give you support, but go ahead of us."
She nodded her head and started to run, she knew his estate was a straight shot from here, and it was on the way to where she lived. She ran as fast as she could, the rain started to pick up, making it hard to see, but she knew she didn't have time to slow down. Yukari could feel her heart beating fast, she had to focus on breathing, because every time she thought about him, she would forget how to breathe almost.
"Don't worry Mori-senpai, I'm coming as fast as I can. You were there for me that night, so now it's my time to be there for you. Just don't give in to the pressure, you have to win this, at all cost. You can't give up on me now."
Honey sighed a little, as he sat on Mori's bed watching him get dressed into a traditional wedding kimono. He looked down at the text he had sent to her and was hoping that she was on her way here. Honey had hid his phone in his sleeve, since they had asked for Mori's phone last night and Honey said he left his at home. Something seemed suspicious about this whole marriage thing, and he was determined to get to the bottom of this. He slid the phone back up his sleeve before he turned around and saw that he had it.
"Takashi…"
"Hmm?"
"Why don't you stop this?"
Mori stopped getting ready and sighed a little. He wanted to, more than anything to stop this. Yet, he wasn't able to tell his parents that, he was taught growing up to honor his parents, so he wasn't able to tell them no. Last night all he wanted to do was to text Yukari, but they had taken his phone, well, more like Noriko had taken in. He turned around and looked at Honey, you could see that he was miserable, it was written all over his face.
"Mitsukuni…I wish I could, but I have to honor my parents."
"Remember when Tama-chan invited us to join the host club, and he told me I could like cute stuff and eat all the sweets I wanted?"
"Yeah."
"You told me to do whatever I want, that it was no big deal. You should've told them that."
Takashi sighed and sat down next to him, placing a hand on his shoulder. He should've spoke up sooner to them about Yukari, but he had no idea what he was feeling or how to even express his feelings. Guess it was too late to tell his parents about it now. He saw the door open and his father walked in, smiling at him.
"Don't you look sharp, my boy. Today is a very important day. I know this wasn't what you wanted, but I do hope you grow to like her, she may be a little stubborn and hard headed, but she's at least nice." Akira explained.
"Yeah."
"Her father, Prince Asaakira, is one of my most important clients, so let's get through this wedding without any issues. I know your mother is proud of you for doing this."
Takashi nodded his head, trying to hide his real feelings. He really didn't want to do this, but he had to do what he was told. He followed his father out of his room, with Honey behind him. He noticed that Honey kept looking out the windows for something, and would ask him later about what was happening.
"Due to a lot of people belonging to the royal family here, we had to post additional guards just in case."
It seemed like Honey froze when he had said that, which made Mori worried that he was hiding something from him. He had stopped and looked down at him, as he started to question him. "Mitsukuni…what are you hiding?"
Honey started to laugh and started to shake his head. "What are you talking about, Takashi? I'm not hiding anything."
"Mitsukuni…tell me."
"I texted Yukari and told her…"
Mori turned real red and dragged him back to his room, slamming the door shut. "You did what?!"
"I texted Yukari and told her what's going on. "
Mori looked like he was about to have a heart attack. He couldn't believe he had texted her and told her. He started to feel a little light headed, as she was the last person he wanted to tell. He could feel his heart beat faster at the thought of her. He sighed a little.
"I also told her to come."
That did it for him, he was on the verge of death. His eye twitched when he heard him say that. He slammed his fist into the wall. "Why did you do that?!"
Honey stood his ground, and looked up at his cousin in anger. "Because you're stupid for agreeing to marry that girl. I wanted her to come and stop the wedding."
"Mitsukuni, you could've put her in danger if she comes here and tried. She could get in trouble, there are guards all over the place, especially since the Emperor is attending."
"What?! I didn't know that…" He yelled. Honey looked at the ground and sighed a little. "It's not like she replied anyway."
Even though hearing those words had slightly relieved him, he was mostly hurt that she didn't respond, then again, she was probably hurt as well. He wished he could disobey his family so he could go to her, but he couldn't. He sighed and opened the door. "Let's go."
They had walked outside, where everyone was waiting for them. Noriko had on a traditional white kimono, and smiled as Takashi stood next to her. Honey stood with his parents and brother, glaring at the girl who stole his best friend. It had started to rain even more on them, which the servants had held umbrellas over them as they walked to the shrine.
With each step that he took, he would get a sharp pain in his chest. He tried to remain calm, but he couldn't, there was no way that he could. The moment they made it to the shrine, it felt like his heart was slowly being ripped to shreds.
He sighed a little, as they both walked up to the priest who started to do the ritual. Of course, with the sound of thunder in the background, no one could hear the sounds going on. When the priest finished his purification of the couple and everyone there. He looked around shrine, and nodded his head. "Before I go any further, does anyone have any objections to why this couple shouldn't marry?"
"I object."
Everyone looked at one another and finally looked to the back, seeing someone step up to the shrine. Noriko looked furious, where everyone looked surprised or shocked, besides Honey who looked happy to see her. Mori was trying to hide the look on his face, but he was secretly happy and relieved at the same time.
