Disclaimer: I do not own The Demon Ororon. I just fell in love with the Romeo-and-Juliet-like romantic tragedyness of it. I own all the original characters though.
I Don't Love You Anymore
CHAPTER 8
Wedding Day – 9.30am
Everything was starting to come together. The wedding was starting to look like it might actually happen. The chapel looked great with all its decorations, everyone started to arrive for the 10 o'clock start, mostly from Michael's side of the family.
Then a big black Jeep that was pumping out Dubstep music loudly screeched to a halt in the parking lot as Michael's civilised family members watched and Shiro and Kuro were the first to get out of the car, closely followed by Othello, Lika and Miss Lucy.
"Well then," Othello started as he locked the doors of the Jeep, "it's finally the day."
Shiro looked around at the people who were watching them before turning to Lika, "Our ears are hidden right?"
Lika looked at Shiro's and Kuro's heads, "Yeah, they're hidden. I think Michael's family is just giving us death stares because of our less-than-graceful entrance."
Kuro cut in loudly, "It was awesome!" before running off.
"Hang on Kuro!" Lika yelled before she and Miss Lucy chased after him.
"Have you heard anything from Ororon?" Shiro asked Othello quietly as they slowly walked up to the chapel.
"No, I haven't. You?" Othello asked.
"Nah, me neither. About this chapel business, are you sure we won't be cast back down to hell, cause it's supposed to be holy ground, you know?"
"I'm not sure, we'll just have to see. But He knows that we're just here for Chiaki's sake and protection, so I'll be surprised if he'll do something so dramatic." Othello answered. He sounded confident, but he himself was not sure what God would do if they were to enter holy ground.
They caught up to Kuro, Lika and Miss Lucy. Lika was holding back Kuro and letting Michael's family members to enter the chapel first. Once everyone had walked through, Lika slowly loosened her grip of Kuro, "Now, very slowly Kuro."
And Kuro slowly entered the chapel without any harm.
"It seems he knows how important it is for us to be here." Othello murmured.
His phone started buzzing and he picked it up. Shiro stayed with him as Miss Lucy and Lika followed Kuro to their seats on the right side of the chapel.
"Okay, good. Keep an eye out for Ororon and make sure that Chiaki is safe on her way here." Othello said to his phone, then he hung up.
"So the plan's still in place?" Shiro asked.
"Yes, none of my men were able to find where Ororon is, so a couple of them are going to be following the car Chiaki is in when it comes here while half a dozen of them will be setting up a perimeter around the chapel. The rest are going to pretend to be Chiaki's family just in case Ororon manage to get in."
"Fingers crossed then." Shiro murmured.
"Fingers crossed." Othello agreed before they entered the chapel, both relieved that nothing happened to them.
Wedding Day – 9. 37am
Chiaki sat in front of the mirror, feeling incredibly nervous in her wedding dress. Her one bridesmaid, Janet, appeared at the door, "it's time for me to leave for the chapel now. Not long now! See you then!"
"Yeah, see you then." Chiaki said, her voice shaky with anxiety. Janet disappeared and shut the door.
Chiaki sighed and closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down. This is it, she thought.
Suddenly the floor creaked and she jumped, turning around quickly. She gasped when she realised that Ororon was leaning against the wall on the other side of the room.
"Hello Chiaki" Ororon said in a low voice.
"Ororon!" Chiaki exclaimed, she stood up quickly and backed away from Ororon as he approached her. "What are you doing here?"
"Please Chiaki," Ororon pleaded quietly, "don't go through with this."
"I've already told you Ororon, I am going to go through with this." Chiaki said.
Chiaki realised that she had backed to the wall and that going past Ororon would be impossible. He was finally standing toe-to-toe with her. His dark grey eyes piercing through her. "You don't know what you mean to me" he whipered as he lowered his head to hers.
"No Ororon, please don't." Chiaki whispered before Ororon embraced her lips with his.
For a short moment, Chiaki was taken by surprise and didn't move, then she started kissing him back. After a short moment, she realised what she was doing and pushed away from him, gasping for breath.
Ororon resisted separating from her at first but stopped resisting. "See?" he asked.
Chiaki was embarassed, Ororon let her pass him.
She paced around the room for a bit before stopping, facing away from him.
"Chiaki, can't you see? You've still got feelings for me." Ororon reasoned with her.
She turned quickly back to him, tears starting to well in her eyes, "no!"
Ororon approached her, "why fight it Chiaki? We're meant to be together!"
"No! Can't you see Ororon? That was only my feelings resurfacing from after you died." Chiaki insisted, "my feelings of regret that I couldn't be with you forever and my shattered soul that you fucking left me alone!"
She shoved him away from her, but he insisted on being near her. "I admit, it was a mistake to leave you Chiaki. I was careless, stupid. I'm not like that anymore."
"No, you're still like that now! Being here, insisting that I come back to you. You're still the same, old you! And I'm sick of the old you!" Chiaki exclaimed and shoved him away again and snatched the pager from the desk next to her before Ororon realised what she was planning to do.
Suddenly Othello's pager beeped in the chapel. He scrambled to grab it but there was no message. He suddenly realised that Chiaki was in trouble, he turned to Shiro and Shiro also realised, "oh crap."
They both hurried past Kuro and Miss Lucy and hurried out of the chapel. Othello grabbed his phone and contacted his men, "yeah. He's with Chiaki."
Ororon managed to snatch the pager away from Chiaki and smashed it to bits, but he knew it was too late. He stared at Chiaki before teleporting away.
Straight away, Shiro and Othello teleported into the room. "What happened?" Othello exclaimed.
"It was Ororon. He's getting desperate." Chiaki sobbed and she grabbed on to Othello and hugged him tight. "He teleported away just before you came."
"Shit! We just missed him!" Shiro cursed. "That means we won't be able to enjoy the wedding doesn't it?"
"No." Othello said grimly.
"Bloody hell Ororon, you selfish prick!"
Wedding Day – 10.03am
The wedding officially started when 'Here Comes the Bride' started playing as Chiaki's car approached the chapel. Michael stood at the altar nervously, watching the entrance to the chapel as the white limo slowed down to a stop. His face brightened when he saw Chiaki awkwardly step out of the low vehicle with high-heels on. Othello smiled widely when he saw her at the entrance of the chapel, but the smile didn't reach his eyes as he was still focusing on keeping Ororon out of the wedding.
Chiaki decided that since she didn't have a father that Othello should walk her down the aisle as he is the closest to a father figure that she had. They both walked up the chapel aisle as both families stood up and applauded.
"I'm glad that you're able to be in here." Chiaki whispered. "I was worried that you wouldn't."
"Nothing is going to stop me from trying to let you have the best wedding of your life." Othello whispered back and she smiled at him briefly.
"Is Ororon still not found?" Chiaki whispered, keeping a smile on her face so no one would notice her worry.
"Yeah, but I assure you, we will." Othello replied.
They finally reached the altar and Chiaki walked up the steps to meet with Michael as the priest stood over them, smiling.
Everyone sat down and settled. Chiaki stared deeply into Michael's eyes and smiled, nearly crying.
Othello thought he saw something in the corner of his eyes as the priest started the ceremony but when he checked what it was, there was nothing there. For a second, he was worried that it was Ororon gate-crashing the wedding, but he realised that the three men he left guarding the entrance should be enough to handle Ororon.
Surely Ororon wasn't desperate enough to absolutely ruin Chiaki's wedding.
Wedding Day – 10.12am
"And now, for anyone who believes that the groom and wife should not be together, please speak up now or forever hold their piece." The priest said.
No one spoke up, so the priest flipped a page but before he could continue, there was a loud commotion by the entrance of the chapel that made everyone turn around.
"Fuck." Othello whispered as he turned around to see that Ororon had managed to make his way through Othello's three men. Bloodied.
"I believe they shouldn't." Ororon said loudly, breathing deeply.
Everyone sceamed and tried to get away from Ororon as he slowly walked up the aisle.
Straight away, the whole chapel started to run out of the chapel. The priest was speechless and fainted as Ororon got closer to Michael and Chiaki.
Othello stepped in front of Ororon, "Ororon, you're not thinking straight. Think about what you're doing, please little broth –" Ororon swatted Othello away and Othello flew across and crashed heavily into the wall of the chapel.
"You thieving bastard," growled Ororon as he raised his hand in preparation of a spell.
"No!" Chiaki jumped in front of Michael.
"Chiaki! Move out of my way! I don't want to hurt you!" Ororon yelled.
"No! I won't!" Chiaki screamed back.
"Chiaki –"
Shiro tackled Ororon out of the way while Kuro jumped on Ororon's face.
"Go!" Kuro yelled at Michael and Chiaki.
They didn't hesitate.
Suddenly, flames rose and blocked off the entrance.
Shiro flew to the other side of the room and Ororon peeled Kuro off his face, scratches from Kuro's claws marking his once flawless face. He glared at Kuro before raising his hand again. Before Ororon was able to kill Kuro, Chiaki yelled, "stop it Ororon!"
Ororon paused before looking back at Chiaki. "Come with me, or watch Kuro and everyone you love die."
"Ororon, can't you see what you're doing?" Chiaki sobbed.
"Either I have you, or no one will!" Ororon yelled.
He throws Kuro away and Chiaki raced to catch him before he landed. Ororon raced and grabbed Michael by his throat. "Now, you die." And he tightened his grip on Michael's throat.
"Ororon!" Chiaki sobbed loudly.
Ororon ignored her. Much like what happened six years ago.
Othello suddenly appeared next to him and placed his hand on Ororon's chest and pushed him slightly. "Ororon. Please, take a moment to think clearly."
Ororon glared at him and prepared a spell but Othello stopped him. "Hang on. I don't give a shit about this guy," Othello looked at Michael, still gagging, "but just look around at what you've done."
Ororon looked at him, puzzled, and loosened his grip on Michael's throat as he looked at the flames surrounding the chapel. Then at the blood splattered on the ground. Shiro and Kuro knocked out on the floor and then he saw Chiaki sobbing her heart out.
Othello leaned in closer, whispering to Ororon's ear, "look closely at her Ororon. Realise why she's crying."
Ororon did.
And he saw.
He realised that Chiaki was crying because she was completely in love with Michael and that he had just ruined what was supposed to be her most special day.
And his heart shattered.
He dropped Michael and the flames surrounding the chapel disappeared.
Chiaki raced to Michael who was coughing on the floor and looked up at him, "please, just go."
Michael swallowed the bile that was rising up from his throat, fought back the emotions that was threatening to escape him.
Othello looked apologetically at him, but Ororon just avoided his look when he walked past him and teleported away.
Even though no one was very enthusiastic about the wedding the second time around, ever since what happened the first time around, everyone came once more. Many of Michael's family members attempted to convince him to call the wedding off. But they backed off when they saw the love for her in his eyes.
The wedding however, went without a hitch. Michael and Chiaki were finally married and was finally able to live their life together.
Chiaki's powers disappeared and she became the most normal human ever. Michael and Chiaki stayed married for the rest of their lives.
Othello along with his ex-Seiryu army, invaded Klan Blue and fought back the throne and is keeping it safe till the true king of Hell decided to come back and rule.
Shiro and Kuro still live with Miss Lucy and Lika in Japan. They kept in contact with Chiaki and Michael regularly.
As for Ororon, no one knew where he teleported to. The only thing they knew is, he didn't try to win back Chiaki anymore after what happened at the wedding. He decided that he needed the time and space to figure things out in his head before he came back into anyone's life.
He needed to move on.
After writing this monster of a chapter, I realised that there's only one more chapter to go in this fanfic. One more chapter to tie up the loose ends. I have an idea of how to end this already so hopefully, filling in the middle parts won't take too long.
Kid.
