"Well I'm off to see my fiancée." A brunette young man told his companion.
"Fiancée? Since when are you engaged?" his companion asked surprised.
He gave the other man a sly smile, "Wouldn't you like to know?" he said before he took off running.
The other man shook his head and smiled.
How long had it been since he met him?
It had been about ten years, and in those ten years he'd seen him grow and mature, even though there were times where he still let himself be a child, like today, as he ran off to meet his fiancée.
'I wonder who she is, he never said anything about having a girlfriend and I've been his manager for a long time and now he's engaged?' the man asked himself. 'Oh well, I'll find out soon enough.' He thought when his cell phone cut through his line of thought.
"Hello?" he answered.
"Onii-san, it's been a while." The voice on the other side of the receiver said.
"Sho how have you been?" the man asked.
"I've been doing just fine, how's Judai doing?"
"You should know better than I. By the way, did you know he was engaged?"
"He's what?! To whom?!" Sho exclaimed.
"I didn't even know he had a girlfriend." Ryo told his younger brother. "And I've been his manager for a long time now."
"I should take the next plane to America and make him tell me."
"Don't you have responsibilities?" Ryo asked his brother.
"If you find anything out, call me!" Sho said before hanging up.
Ryo remained still for a minute after his brother's little outburst and smiled.
Really, he'd been through a lot and had matured right alongside them and was glad everybody had moved on with their lives.

A certain blonde sat in a café sipping water and constantly staring at her cell phone.
Suddenly a brunette appeared before her.
"Sorry, were you waiting long?" he asked her out of breath.
She gave him a small smile, "No, I just got here."
He plopped himself heavily on the chair. "So do you want to order anything?" she asked him.
"Water." He said taking her cup.
"How far did you run?" she asked as he gulped down her water.
"27th and Main." He answered after he'd gulped down the water.
"That far? What were you doing that far?"
"I was with Ryo."
"Oh." She said, "Then you should have called me instead of running all the way from there."
He gave her a lopsided smile. "It's ok, I need the exercise."
She rolled her eyes, "So what did you tell Ryo?"
"The truth." He told her simply.
"The truth? I thought you said you didn't want anybody to know. I mean, you haven't even told Sho and he's your best friend."
"You know I've been thinking, maybe we should get married." He dead-panned.
"Are you proposing to me?" she asked bewildered.
"Hmmm? I guess I am." He said absent-mindedly.
She gave a little laugh, "This is probably the driest weirdest marriage proposal ever, but it's so like you."
He looked at her sideways, "So, is that a yes?"
She shook her head, "You are unbelievable."
……………………………………………………
"Say what now?!" Sho exclaimed when he received the call from his best friend.
"Yeah, Asuka and I are getting married and we are planning to get married at Duel Academy." Judai told him.
"How come you never told me you were going out?!" Sho asked feeling a little betrayed.
"We wanted to keep it a secret since everyone was so hell bend on us dating."
"So have you asked the Principal for permission?" Sho asked.
"You think Chronos would refuse us?"
"No I guess you have a point. So who else knows about this?"
"Besides Ryo, you are the first one to know." Judai told him. "I'm about to call Manjyome and the rest."
"Good luck with that, he might kill you on your wedding night." Sho joked.
"Hahaha, he's with Rei now so it should be ok."
"Riiiight… the two who were jilted got together, that doesn't sound like a very healthy choice." Sho said sarcastically.
"Anyway, Asuka is in the process of calling Junko and Fubuki, I guess you can tell Momoe, I'll have to call Kenzan, Misawa, Ed, Saiou, Johann, Jim and the rest."
"Heh, I can't wait to see you guys again."
"Well we'll see you shortly." Judai said before hanging up.
The days that came were pure craziness.
Since most of their friends resided in Japan, they were having their wedding overseas, but preparing for your wedding while you are living on the other side of the planet and working so you won't leave any lose ends was tough.
"So Asuka was your fiancée all along." Ryo said not surprised by the news.
"Yeah and sorry for making this wedding such short notice and having you re-arrange all my things."
"You just have to pay me double." Ryo told him.
"Ok yeah, that sounds fair."
…………………………………………………
"What?!" Asuka had to move the headset away from her ears as Fubuki's and Junko's voices echoed.
"Are you done venting?" Asuka asked them.
"Hell no we aren't! How come you never told us that you two were dating!" Junko boomed.
"This is exactly why." Asuka responded calmly.
"Ooh, I knew it, I knew it! That day you were smiling so mysteriously, argh! I should have known! You did mention something abpout that but I just dismissed it!" Junko was screaming through the receiver.
"Get over it. You got what you wanted, right?" Asuka told her old friend.
"That's not the point!" Junko exclaimed angrily, but secretly she was really happy things ended that way. "By the way. Why the short notice? Are you pregnant or something?"
"What? No it has nothing to do with that, but since I know you are never going to believe me, you'll just have to wait 9 months and see for yourself."
"I cannot imagine you or him as parents."
"Neither can I, so that is not the reason we are marrying on such a short notice, it's just one of those things you have to do when you get a chance."
The whole Duel Academy was buzzing with the news of Judai's and Asuka's wedding.
Even if the younger kids had never met them, they knew about them since they were pretty high profile people, especially Judai and this wedding gave them an excuse to goof off for a day or two.
"Hmm, this place doesn't change." Asuka said as she took in the scenery of her former school.
"Yeah, we had a lot of great and trying times here didn't we?"
"Yes we did."
"Judai!" a voice interrupted their remisniscing.
"Hey Sho what's up?"
"Hello Asuka." The short man told her.
"Hello Sho, how have you been? Where's Momoe?"
"She's on her way." Sho said. "So, where's my onii-san?"
"He stayed behind fixing some things; he'll be arriving tomorrow or the next." Judai told Sho.
"People should start arriving soon I'm guessing." Sho told them.
"Why? The wedding isn't until Saturday, it's only Wednesday." Asuka said.
Sho smiled. "Hmm, yeah but…well...you'll see…" he said leading them to the Osiris Red dormitories.
There in what was the cafeteria of the dorm were all of their friends reunited.
The soon to be married couple beamed at the sight of all their friends present.
"Congratulations!" Momoe exclaimed. "Oh my god, when Sho told me about it, I could not believe it!"
"Well, when you told me that you were marrying Sho, I couldn't believe it either." Asuka told her dryly.
"I couldn't even believe that myself!" Momoe exclaimed."But that was not as shocking as Junko and Fubuki-san!"
"Nothing can ever beat that except for maybe Rei and Manjyome." Sho interceded.
"What's so weird about that?" A sourly young man asked.
"Oh Manjyome, good to see you!" Judai exclaimed.
"I don't feel the same way." Manjyome responded, bored, "Oh and for the record, I haven't married Rei yet."
"Hahaha, maybe you should marry this Saturday too." Sho told Manjyome.
"No! This is Asuka and Judai's day, they can marry some other time." Momoe exclaimed.
"Ok relax Momoe, besides I was only joking, isn't Rei a little young to marry yet?"
"I heard somebody talking about me? I'm 20 years old. I'm old enough to marry if I wanted too." Said Rei coming into the room. "Hello Judai-sama, Asuka-san" she told the couple.
"Wow Rei you've gotten taller!" Judai exclaimed when he saw the younger girl.
"You didn't really think I was going to stay that short forever did you?"
"Mmm…." But before Judai could respond a flash of purple startled them.
"Sister!" Fubuki embraced Asuka in a bear hug.
"I need to breathe Fubuki." Asuka told her brother pushing him off. "And what are you wearing?"
"Asuka! Thank goodness you are here, maybe now Fubuki will listen to what I'm saying!" Junko's voice came screaming before she even entered the room.
"One thing is for sure, Fubuki if you are wearing the horrendous outfit on Saturday I will not let you attend the ceremony." Asuka told him.
"So Asuka, I want to see your wedding dress!" Junko exclaimed changing the subject.
"Wedding dress?" Asuka asked confused.
In all the commotion she had forgotten all about it.
"Don't tell me you don't have one." Junko said incredoulous.
"I forgot all about it."
"Well then, we have to go shopping!"
Meanwhile Fubuki had slid towards Judai and put a hand on the younger man's shoulder.
"So Judai, do you have your tux ready for the big day?"
"What?"
"You don't?!" Sho and Fubuki exclaimed.
"I forgot, lemme call Ryo and ask him to get me one."
"By the way, where is Ryo?" Fubuki asked noticing for the first time his best friend was missing.
"He stayed back in L.A. to fix some things, but he should be here tommorow or the next." Judai told him as he dialed his cell phone.
"Hello?"
"Oh hey Ryo, can you do me another favor? I kinda forgot I need a tux to get married, so can you get me one?"
"You forgot?" Ryo asked incredously."Sure what would you like?"
"Eh? Anything, I trust your judgement."
Judai hung up his cell phone and returned to his friends.
"So it's settled, your tux will be arriving with Ryo right?" Fubuki asked.
"Yeah, it will."
