~Chapter 7- The Wedding and Parade~

Prince Judai broke from the kiss immediately and turned back. The only thing that Asuka can see is now Prince Judai's back. She doesn't know what his reaction is but whatever it is, she's sure that he was surprised... well... although it wasn't very obvious. If Prince Judai is surprised, Asuka is much more. That sudden accident was not meant to happen and she tries her best to think that it is just a coincidence.

The two couple stayed in their position for a few minutes with complete silence when Prince Judai cuts it. He grabbed Asuka's arm and dragged her somewhere.

"P-Prince Judai, where are you--" Before Asuka can even finish her sentence, Prince Judai cuts her off.

"Just follow me and don't talk." Prince Judai stated without stopping. Asuka blinked. She doesn't know where, but she just let him drag her where he wants him to.

After awhile, Prince Judai suddenly stopped in front of a room. He let go of Asuka's arm and faced her.

"Don't tell anybody what just happened awhile ago. Just think of it as an accident." Prince Judai explained. Asuka frowned and looked slightly at the ground. Then Prince Judai said, "Go in."

"Eh?"

"You are needed inside."

Asuka first looked at Prince Judai's expression. He was still in his usual attitude and was looking at the door with serious face. His attitude was like the little incident awhile ago didn't even happen. Asuka's mouth curved into a small smile while looking at him. So that's why he went back to look for me.

"Arigatou." Asuka suddenly said. Prince Judai turned his head to her.

"Huh? What for?"

Asuka shook her head slowly. Prince Judai scoffed and turned his back just like what he did awhile back in the corridors.

"Just go inside, will you Tenjoin-san?" Prince Judai commanded, or rather in his tone of voice, requested. Unknown to Asuka, while Prince Judai was in that position, he smiled. He turned to the right direction and walked straight there, leaving Asuka all alone in that corridor.

Asuka was still confused on what's going on but goes into the room anyway.

When Prince Judai reached the door towards the specific room, he opened it and was greeted by his mother and especially his father. His mother stood up from her seat and went to her son and hugged him while his father also walked towards him and stood next to his wife.

"Where have you been, Judai?!" King Hiyoshi yelled. "We've been waiting for you for several minutes and you--"

"Don't worry, otoo-san." snapped Prince Judai. "I just went somewhere. And besides, I'm already here, aren't I?"

"Judai, don't talk to your father like that!" scolded his mother, but she didn't actually shout.

"Gomen." Prince Judai muttered.

"Wow, isn't this a family reunion." The little conversation between the family stopped when they heard the voice while it opens the door. It was actually the blue-haired boy, Johan.

"J-Johan!" King Hiyoshi exclaimed.

"Yo!" Johan greeted while waving his hands. He closed the door behind him before approaching the king.

"It's nice to see you, Hiyoshi-ou-sama." Johan bowed.

"Same here, Johan-kun." King Hiyoshi bowed back. He looked at Prince Judai, to Johan and then back at Prince Judai. He notices a VERY big difference between the two. The blue-haired boy with emerald eyes, Johan Anderson, is a very kind boy and is more fitted to be the prince than his own son. His son, Yuki Judai, however, is a snobby person and is not the friendliest in school. He is always alone and wants to do things on his own. He can't see any heart behind those cold brown eyes of his... well... that's just what he thinks anyway.

"Oh Hiyoshi-ou-sama," Johan's voice suddenly cutted King Hiyoshi's thoughts, "Judai said that you wanted to talk to me. What is it?"

"A-Ah. I will talk to you about that later, Johan-kun." King Hiyoshi stated.

"I understand. Well, I gotta go now." Johan walked towards Prince Judai and leaned his head towards Prince Judai's ear as he whispered something to him.

"Better take care of Asuka-chan. If something bad is gonna happen to her because of you, I swear that I will do something that you will regret." Johan whispered to Prince Judai and walked straight for the door afterwards. He was carrying his very friendly smile while saying good-bye to everyone.

When the door finally closed, Prince Judai regained his posture and jerked at the door where Johan just exited. Something about what Johan said to him awhile ago felt like he is somehow sending a warning towards him. He feels as if Johan is gonna do something really bad to him once he found out that something bad has happened to Asuka. But why? He swear to himself that he won't hurt Asuka. But if what Johan means is that making Asuka cry, then he cannot definitely promise that. He, himself, isn't sure if he can't make Asuka cry. That's just impossible.

The wedding, or rather the ceremony, started at about 12 noon that day and, just like what a butler will say, it's just on time. Families of Prince Judai and (even) Asuka are there in the big room where the ceremony will be held. King Hiyoshi and his wife was near the place where Prince Judai and Asuka is gonna sit. Asuka's brother, Fubuki and surprisingly, her father is also there. Fubuki and his father are dressed in their red kimonos and was actually happy about what they are wearing even though it looks kinda cheesy. While King Hiyoshi and his wife, however, are dressed in an american-like clothings with those tuxedos and dresses.

The blonde-haired girl, Asuka and the brown-haired boy, Prince Judai are now in the said room and was sitted in the middle while a tall old man (seems like the priest) is saying some sort of like vows or something. The old man puts a small glass, seemingly full of somehow water in it, into a tray as Prince Judai took it after awhile and drank it.

Afterwards, it was Asuka's turn. The priest said some vows to Asuka and in return to those words, Asuka bowed and drank the glass next to Prince Judai's and drank it. Then, she returned it to the tray beside Prince Judai's glass and stood up. The priest began to say some things again, maybe about the vows of being the princess to Asuka and also in return, Asuka bowed. Realizing that she is always doing this, Asuka felt a little bit uncomfortable.

At the end of the ceremony, all of them stood up and went outside for the so-called "parade".

"Eh?! Parade?!" Asuka exclaimed. "Why haven't I been told by this?!"

"Since you are busy with other things and because of that accident, we don't have any time to tell you anymore." Prince Judai replied while looking at somewhere else.

"Nani?! Mou... I don't like parades! All I can do there is to stand up and wave at people!" Asuka complained.

"There, there, lil' sis, don't worry about it." Fubuki suddenly came out of nowhere and patted Asuka's head.

"N-Nii-san!?" Asuka jumped in surprise, almost falling to the ground but was caught by her brother.

"Hehe." Fubuki grinned. "You're the princess after all, you can't complain about that. Whether you like it or not, you will ALWAYS be crowded by people so don't get embarassed, alright?"

"And besides," Asuka's father, also came out of nowhere, added, "you are the princess, Asuka. You must always be in your best behaviour. You must show to everybody that you're Asuka-hime."

Asuka blushed at that last word.

"But, oh well, I doubt it if you can still make it out there... alive." Fubuki teased. Asuka seethes anime-style and started to chase his brother while saying, "Nii-san! Come back here!". Everybody who were watching at them sweatdropped except for Prince Judai. He just sighed.

Inside the palace, in a specific room, was where Johan is staying. A television is in front of him and was viewing something about the so-called parade. Johan was sitting in a table while drinking a cup of tea. The room was actually a guest room, seeing that there is only a few furnitures in it. Johan's eyes turned away from the TV when he heard a butler going in.

"Ah, jii-chan." Johan smiled. "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"No. It's nothing, young master." the butler inquired. "But, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in the ceremony now?"

"Nah. I chose not to come anymore, jii-chan."

"What?! If I may ask, why Johan-sama?"

Johan was stunned by the question. He turned his face down and somehow, his face darkened. 'Because there is a special reason.' he mumbled to himself. Seeing that the boy is acting wierdly, the butler started to call his name.

"...Johan-sama?"

This broke the attention of Johan. He returned to his usual smile and said, "Ah, no! There is no reason. I just chose not to."

The butler nodded. "Ah, I see. Well, I'll be going now, Johan-sama." He bowed down in respect to Johan.

Johan bowed in response before the butler went out of the room. After the butler is gone, he returned his gaze to the TV where the parade is already starting.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Out on the city, where the parade is gonna be held, almost millions of people were on the side of the road and was cheering for the prince and princess. There were many signs stating to do their bests. Others, actually the main attraction of the crowd, was high school students who are all screaming and was having some "cheerleaders". One of those students were the friends of Asuka: Momoe, Junko and Megumi. Even if Megumi was not fond of cheering or going to places with her so-called, "crazy people", she was pushed by her friends so she came.

"Wow! This is really fun!" Junko screamed. "I wonder what kind of dress will Asuka wear. Well, whatever it is, I know it's gorgeous!"

"I told you this will be a good idea." Momoe stated. "With this, we can see Prince Judai up close!"

Megumi, who was just standing there, staring at those "crazy people", didn't say anything and just sighed. The main reason that's why they are now here in this "deserted" place is to cheer their friend on. But, NO. They actually came here to admire and like Prince Judai waving at them riding on those vehicles; cheering Asuka on was only a part of it. Well, at least, that's what she thought. Really, of all people in this world, it just GOT to be these two.

"Hey crazy idiots, Asuka is already coming." Megumi informed her so-called friends. Since I'm here, I might as well enjoy the parade rather than just standing there and do nothing, she thought.

Just like what Megumi told Momoe and Junko, Asuka appeared and was riding on one of those moving vehicles. She was smiling and waving at many people including her friends. Momoe and Junko saw her and started calling her attention. But she didn't turned back. They were surprised at this since they saw her looking them. They were disappointed and confused at this.

Unknown to them, Asuka actually wanted to greet them back, but it was forbidden for a princess like her to do that. She doesn't have any choice. Momoe, Junko and Megumi stopped waving their hands once they saw Asuka's vehicle taking her away.

"Let's go, guys." Momoe told Junko and Megumi to which they followed.

Later...

Johan finally arrived at the where the parade is held. He was previously at the palace watching what is happening in the parade in the TV. He was feeling weird watching it so he decided to go outside. He was simply walking to no destination and finally came to the place where the parade is. Words from her mother suddenly echoed his mind.

You must take over the crown as prince, Johan.

Those words were not a request. But a command.

Johan is a very obedient person when it comes to his mother. He will do anything that she asks. Even though it was impossible. Like this "mission" he is having right now to take over the crown as prince just like what his destiny should really be. He is happy that he's doing this for the sake of his mother and father, but in reality, he's scared. He is scared to have a fight against his cousin and his family. If he had rejected that command, all of this wouldn't happen. But, he is Johan Anderson, the one who is supposed to be seated in the thrown right now.

While he's standing with the crowd, he suddenly came across Asuka's vehicle. He looks at her seriously, which Asuka actually didn't notice because her back was turned and was waving at the people on the other side. If I were to be the prince just like what okaa-san said, I must take her.

When Asuka is out of sight, he turned his back and left.


Let me guess what you're thinking right now: IT'S TOO SHORT!! Yes, I know and I planned it that way. You see, the Wedding Arc (YAY!! I CREATED MY OWN ARC!!) had ended already and we're now moving on to the Surprise and Attack Arc which starts at the next chapter. It might be very long or short, I don't know. Don't worry. I will immediately create the next chapter (since it's my long holiday). As you can see in the first note, I was busy last month so I hadn't updated this story. Oh yeah, the Wedding Arc is just this short chapter. Hehe. Yes. Believe it or not. Well, see you all at the next chapter!!
