So, so so... I have this last chapter now... Hihi! Well, after this I will be dedicating my full attention to Treauser the Love since that is an old story I made a year or so ago and I want to continue it, but making A trauma in Time was hopelessly fun!
And I am sooo happy, now! Although my sister is mad at me... BUT ENJOY! KYA!
Chapter Eight: The Royal wedding...?
Mikan stared at the house for a few moments, before turning back to her mother and stared at her. She was nervous, because she was ready to tell Ntausme she was sorry, that she had forgiven him and that their feud was stupid.
But... That was so hard to do, and Mikan shivered. It was already really dark and Natsume would be sleeping, so possible, she could tell him in the morning?
"Mom, I can not do this! It is so hard, but it hurts to not tell him! MOM!" she yelled, running towards Yuka, but Yuka stopped her daughter from embracing her and shook her head, staring at Mikan and gripping her shoulders firmly.
"No, you can do this, Mikan. A princess, no, a mere girl, can do anything! That is what I have learned! You need to stand up and tell him your feelings, or he will never know! And if he never knows... Then your future is gone. Mikan, do not, I repeat that, do not look up to me as an example." Yuka whispered, and Mikan stared at her and shook her head, then hugged Yuka, tightly.
"But I'm not strong... I am not! How can I be... so strong?" she whispered, and Yuka pulled away from her and shook her head, sighing sadly. Mikan was so sad and helpless then, at the time she needed her mother the most, but Yuka could not help her, or could she?
Possibly. She smiled and put her hand under her child's chin and stared at Mikan's sad face.
"I know you can become strong, you can, Mikan, but... I only know this because you are my daughter, I was once like you, I fought to be with your father, and I betrayed him. Fight to get Natsume back, and never give him up." she whispered as Mikan stared at her and blinked, then sniffed and rubbed her eyes roughly before nodding and sighing, then staring at the house again, longingly.
"I shall tell him, tomorrow, when we are up together, I will let him know, I shall." she whispered to herself as Yuka smiled and nodded, then stood up, leaving as Mikan too, went towards her house, then turned to wave to her mother, but the woman was gone. Indeed, she was mysterious, but wasn't Mikan herself, also strange in her own way? There were many things that showed the two were related.
Mikan smiled to herself and turneed on her heel, walking towards her home and swaying a little as the wind blew at her hair and coat, playing with her. But she ignored the wind, she was instead, rehearsing the things she needed to say to Natsume in her head. She wanted to say sorry, and she was gaining the courage to actually say it...
The night they slept seemed to pass quickly, but Natsume had awoken early to leave. He had no idea that Mikan would apologize to him that very morning, but Mikan had no idea that he would be leaving so early, and that she may not get a chance to apologize and for the two to redeem the lightning between them and to bring the flame back into their relationship.
But he silently left, and as the door closed, a few moments later, Mikan woke up, and looked around, knowing something was not right. She looked around her room, trying to think what ever could be the matter, then, she got up and walked out of her room. She decided it was time to say her apologies to Natsume!
She went to his room and saw that the door was wide opened. She blinked twice, then peered in. The room was empty. She blinked again, she could not see him anywhere, or his stuff. She stood there for a few mometns, staring into a black hole, almost, and then she realised it, finally... He had left. Mikan screamed to timbuckto.
The house shook, I think! Mikan screamed as she hurridly threw the coat over her and then ran out of the house in bare feet, staring around and trying to find her Natsume, her prince, but he had left and had briskly walked towards the station. Mikan stared into the horizon, scanning the place for him, but it was hopeless, he was nowhere to be seen,
and Mikan was so angry with herself for letting him leave like that. She stared at the horizon, before sinking to her knee's in the wet mud and sniffing, feeling small tears trickeling down her face and into her open mouth, she tasted the saltyness of her tears. He was really... Gone. Forever.
Mikan's P.O.V.
I sat there, my knee's caked wsith the mud I kneeled in, but I don not care, Natsume has gone, my Natsume, my prince... He has really gone? No, it was all of my fault, it was! I drove him away!
I knew a plain, stupid maid like me could never be enough for a prince like him...
End P.O.V.
Mikan put her hands at the sides of her head as she shook in the morning weather. It was september, already, and they had already abandoned their relationship for each other. They had sacrificed their lives for each other, and then given up. Mikan stared at the ground, her eyes wide and tear filled.
"Natsume... I love you." she wispered, the wind instantly picked up and blew strands of her hair around her face as she sat there, then slowly she stood up, and walked away from the house, still in just her coat and nightie, and walked towards the palace where she would find the beautiful, but abandoned, garden pond.
Natsume
He was walking briskly towards the station, ready to catch the earliest and cheapest train to Kyoto. He did not care how long it took to get there, he just wanted to never hurt Mikan again, but Natsume, love hurts you no matter what, dear child!
Natsume's P.O.V.
I sigh, Mikan, why did I say those things to you? I want to say sorry, but you need to say that aswell, not just me. But it is far too late now. No one can stop me from leaving. This way, I can never hurt you again.
That will make life happier for the both of us, right? I know it will be alot better for you and more conveniant for me, but after saving you... My heart hurts now, because it knows I have left you alone, I am so sorry, Mikan. But I still love you.
He stared at the station sign before taking another step forward, when somebody suddenly stopped him in his tracks. They stopped him by taking ahold of his shirt collar and pulling him bacwards. Natsume was suprised, and looked up, to see matching hazel eyes like Mikan's, but they weren't his love's eyes.
They were her mothers. She stared at him then smiled, and bowed before taking her hat off and showing her full features.
"Hello, Natsume Hyuuga, or must I say, prince??? Let me introduce myself fully now, I am Yuka Azumi, my maiden name, really, I was once Queen Sakura, but I was supposedly executed, although my husband took me to safety, banishing me to see my only daughter. But here I am, and Mikan knows who I am. I was planning to kill you." she whispered. Natsume's eyes widened. Saying a person was going to kill someone would not exactly make you trust them.
"Erm... May I go now, please?" he mumbled, feeling edgy around the woman of mystery as she raised her eyebrow, then shook her head lightly and smiled knowingly.
"I am so sorry, Hyuuga, but I am not permitted to do that, you see, I am Mikan's mother, and I have reason to believe you love my only daughter, correct? If you do, then why are you leaving her now at a time she needs both her parent and her lover?" she asked him, and Natsume stared at her for a moment, pausing to think. He had no idea other than because he thought he was a burden to Mikan and that he made her sad.
"Because I can not hurt her again like I did. She hates me, Yuka. Got it?" he asked, and she smirked, staring at him then leaning down to his height because she was a little taller than he was.
"Natsume, how can you hurt her more than you have? Mikan is devastated that you left, and she was going to apologize, kiss and make up with you, but you left too early. I knew it was a good idea to stalk you!" she said, grinning happily, she seemed so pleased with herself. She was scary, scarier than Mikan was! And that was too weird, for him!
"She is?" Natsume said, thinking to himself. Mikan was devastated? Then that meant that she still loved him... And that she was sad he had left. Was she okay now?
But how could he trust a plan-to-be murderess?
"How can I trust you?" he asked, and she blinked, then smiled and sighed.
"I have no idea, but if you do love Mikan, then trust me, if you dislike her, do not trust me. But making a decision right now changes your whole life now, Natsume Hyuuga. A life of happiness with Mikan Sakura? Or a life without her? Choose wisely, because I was once in this position, and I made the wrong decision. I decided to wait for someone who had given me a false love. Just... Make the right decision, please. For yours and Mikan's sake." she said, and he stared at her, then stared at his feet for a while. He wondered, if he left forever, would the pain of leaving his beloved forever stay there?
Would he never see Mikan again? That, would surely kill him...
Mikan sighed to herself as she sat there beside the pond, staring into the dark and murky waters, thinking of her Natsume Hyuuga, yes, hers, but would he ever return to her? Plus, she did nopt know her mother had stalked him.
She had one weirdo family there, yep, she really, truly did. But that did not bother her, what bothered her was that Natsume was gone. Gone, gone gone! She just felt like drowning herself right there in the pond, even if it was like, about the height of her ankles. (I am no good at measuring...)
Mikan stared at her blackened reflection sadly and saw silvery tears forming in the corners of her eyes. It was cold outside, she was still in a thin nightie and her large coat, and her feet were muddy and stone cold, since she still had no footwear on at all.
Then, a shadow cast over the murky water and she looked up, suprised to see someone staring at her, and just someone, it was Natsume, her very own prince, he was standing there, looking at her as she stared at him, her mouth dropping open as her mother watched from behind a tree and smiled knowingly, glad that she had got the two back together again. Mikan slowly stood up, her throat dry from no water that day.
"Na-Natsume?" she croaked, and he stared at her, then smiled faintly and winked as she turned beet red.
"Hey, little girl. Sorry. Come here." he mumbled, and held out his arms. Mikan's eyes widened and she gasped, then, ran towards him, through the cold pond, not caring, and splashing water everywhere as she ran towards him and into his warm, open arms, then, they both fell on their knee's as he embraced her and she sobbed hysterically into his chest and clutchewd at his coat, burying her head into his chest.
"Natsume! NATSUME! I am so sorry! FORGIVE ME! I love you!" she yelled, crying as he smiled and then stared over at Yuka who smiled and sighed. When had she felt love last? 18 years ago, before everyone she loved died, everyone except her daughter, and she was so happy that she had given life to the girl, and that she could see Mikan love, again.
But could she fall in love again? Let's see...
THE WEDDING!!!
"Natsume! Oh, Natsume! I wrote you and your darling Mikan a wonderfully cute love poem for today! Here it is:" Koko called out happily, and Natsume raised his eyebrow. No, Koko was not his beloved Best Man, Youichi was.
Koko was just there because Mikan made sure he was. She would not have him taken away from the all-too-important guest list.
"The Bride and the
Groom,
He brings the girl such gloom!
He has a heart of
stone!
That could break a poor bone!
His face is like a
moose,
and he has a big caboose.
Man, the Groom,
He is a
stupid broom.
He chose such a sweet lass,
But he is a big A---"
"Goodbye, Koko!" Natsume snapped, before Koko could reach the rude bit of his poem. He would never have that at his wedding. Koko grinned, and showed him the poem. HE HAD LIED!!! And what was worse, the poem he had written was actually good, to Natsume's dismay.
"How did you coem up with this?" he asked in a dark mumble, and Koko grinned.
"Yuka, she wrote it all out, and now I can take the credit for MOI!" he yelled, cackeling as he ran off and held the paper in the air. Natsume just stood there on the spot, his eyebrow arched. The kid was supposed to be 19 years old.
Oh yes, they are now 19 years of age. It's been a wonderful year, has it not?
Then, as Koko ran, the piece of paper mysteriously ripped in half and fell to the ground. He gasped and started to cry baby tears, and started yelling things like...:
"Noooo! My PRECIOUS!"
"My child! How could you die!" and...
"My wonderful, wonderful, loving and caring beautiful girlfriend! MY PAPER-BABY IS GONE!!!" yep, Koko indeed said these things. How amusing, everyone.
"Freak..." Natsume mumbled, when Yuka's head came around the door and she saw Natsume, and smiled. She would be his mother in law. They had not yet discussed the whole prince and princess thing with the public, but their friends seemed to know about it. Yuka was wearing a long blue dress and a matching hat. She seemed to like hats, Natsume had noticed.
He was wearing a dressy suit and tie. He was disgusted by the tie. (Imagine Natsume in a suit!)
"Natsume! Finally! Are you ready, do you think your hair is okay? Oh, the tie is slanted... Hm, let me fix that, oh, and your eyes are crossed! Un-cross them now, mister!" she snapped, acting like a motherly figure towards him. She had been like that for a while, now, and Natsume thought it was annoying as Mikan had thought it was hilarious, but Yuka was a little more strict with her daughter than with her soon-to-be-son in law.
But Mikan loved it, since she had never had a mother before in her entire life, where as, Natsume had, before the fire. And now, they were getting married! And Yuka was fussing over them both.
"Oh, so handsome! Hm, no wonder Mikan picked you, well, prince, come on, we need to get you two wedded, and then you can adopt Youcihi and his girlfriend and sister!" she cried happily. Oh, Youichi, Khiara, his sister and his uncle had forgiven her, although his uncle had died a few months later due to cancer he had had since 4 years ago. Youichi was sad, but Mikan and Natsume were soon going to be his parents.
And Yuka would too, have her happy ending, of course! o
They were all crowded in the church as they all smiled and talked to each other. Natsume was waiting for everything to start and for Mikan to come in, Youichi was beside him in a miniture suit like his, he looked darn cute!
Khiara was also there, grinning towards Youichi and blowing kisses to the blushing boy. No need for the blushing bride, we have a blushing best man! Natsume grinned and nudged his soon to be son gently.
"So, you like the older girls, eh?" he asked, and Youichi turned even redder. Khiara was 2 years older than him, but he did not care. He loved his princess alot. And she loved her miniture toy boy prince, too!
Then, music started to play and everybody rose, and in came the two beautiful bridesmaids and the flower girl, ahem, flowerboy. Yes. Koko was a flower boy, and he did a good job, too. He was skipping down the aisle in front of Nonoko and Anna, throwing flowers at the people who ducked, and Yuka was ready to push him for being stupid. Luckily, she held it in.
Then, in came Mikan, the blushing bride, and indeed she was blushing, and smiling happily. She was wearing a long white gown that had sakura blossoms printed on the hem, and entwined in her hair were some fake sakura blossoms, and in her bouquet of flowers were white lilies, daffodils and sakura blossoms. (my faveourite flowers) Natsume turned around, and turned red himself.
Now, we have the blushing groom. Mikan smiled as she stood next to him and giggled, then held his hand in hers.
"You are so handsome!" she whispered, and he found his voice to tell her what he thought of her, "You look beautiful, princess." he mumbled nand she smiled, then, they walked towards the vicar, who got on with the proceedings.
(Let's skip it, I don't know the whole vows thing. I make them up!)
"So, Natsume, do you, take Mikan to be your wife?" asked the vicar.
"I do," he said, and stared at Mikan who smiled and blushed even more so.
"And do you, Mikan, take Natsume to be your husband?" he asked her, and she smiled, clutching Natsume's arm and giggling sweetly, nodding.
"YES!" she cried, and people had to cover their ears in fear of going deaf. Good thing Natsume had ear plugs in... Yuka had warned him beforehand about it, she knew Mikan would screech, because she had on her wedding day!!!!
"You may now kiss the bride, or something along those lines." the vicar said, whom we can now reveal as Jinno sensai, (YES!!!) and Mikan and Natsume kissed, smiling and deepening that very kiss that brought them together in holy matromony, and Khiara squealed, loving the romance, ran, and pounced on dear Youichi, and kissed him deeply! (who knew kids could make such a scene?) Plus, they were in an awkward position.
"KOKO!!" cried Anna, and he grinned, throwing his basket of flowers into the air and kissing his woman passionately as the ring on her finger glinted, yes, they were engaged. Then, Nonoko turned to her friend Yuu, and he smiled, and she smiled, then kissed him madly! Oh yes! Kissing fest!
And then, Yuka, whom was heavily pregnant, turned to her boyfriend and smiled, well, grinned, and he grinned.
"Kiss me, lover boy!" she squealed, and he nodded, then kissed her passionately. Yes, Yuka had found love again, with none other than... NARUMI!!!
And so, ends our story, but never worry, dear children, because one day, THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
EPILOGUE:
"Natsume!" Mikan called as her husband sat in the garden, palying with their children. Youichi was pre-occupied with Destiny, his little sister who was screaming and running. She looked alot like Natsume, and was smart like him, too, but was awfully clumsy.
"Yeah!" he called, picking up child #2, Shiro, who was a baby and was squirming in his daddies arms.
"You know, Anna's pregnant! And mom is dropping Shira off in 2 hours, so watch out for blonde wrath and menace! She'll try to kidnap Shiro again!" she warned, yes, her sister loved her nephew, and tried to always drag him off to play house with some random boy, a.k.a, Koko's son, Sunbeam, and his twin, Ferdinand. Yes, Koko has bad taste in names.
This is why women choose childrens names and never the guy unless they are gay. hehehe.
"Okay! I'll hide him in the closet again!" he said sarcastically as Mikan laughed and kissed him passionately, then kissed her son before turning, then looking at her husband again.
"Oh, and I'm pregnant! Why do you keep me busy, Natsume!" she asked him, and he grinned, he knew what she was reffering to!
"Because you are mjy darling wife and I love you! Well, that will be the fourth one!" he exclaimed, and Mikan giggled. Oh yes, life was wonderful...
THE END!!!
So... HOW WAS IT!!!! PLEASE TELL ME!!!! I need to know, I was in a super duper happy mood today and I was also extremely hyper! Hence the Koko bit and the kissing stuff!!!! I just wanted a typically weird wedding, and I got it! I like unique weddings, not old fashioned ones, but that is my opinion! PLEASE REVIEW!!!
And sadly, this is the end of it all! But look out for Treasure the love! Sayonara!
Love Blue -Niagra in hyper-chipmunk-hamster dance-mode!
