Chapter 9

"WWHHAATTTTTT????!!!!!!" I screamed, "Siblings??!!! What kind of sister acts like she owns you?!

And what kind of brother would put up with that?!! Especially when she's insulting the person you ……

No. I doesn't matter. You don't really love me. You were only teasing me. And like the fool that I am I

fell for it. So just go! Go and commit insect for all I care! It will only prove you are whom I've always

known you to be. A perverted stuck up jerk. And I'm sure you'll be happy but, I'm not going to put up

with this anymore! I don't want any part in it. Tonight I shall leave for the country and you can't stop

me!" I now had my fists clenched staring at him with wild eyes, breathing hard and snarling at him

threw my teeth. I was a little surprised at how rapidly I had gone from pure shock to disgust then rage.

I had to admit that he must have felt the same way and it was probably a little unfair of me to explode

at him like that. But, I couldn't help it! I needed to know, did he love me or not?!

To my amazement he only looked down and whispered,"Then go. I only want you to be happy." I saw

the tiniest spec of a tear escaped him and dropped to the ground . Then he looked up with an almost

pleading look on his face. "But…you must know I don't love my sister in that way. I love her as a sister

and that I why I have to put up with her. She knows I don't love her and also knows I love you. That's

why she was so devious that night. But, after she helped me calm down about mother's death, I told

her that I would not permit her talking like that about you anymore. I explained to her that if she truly

loved me then she would be happy that I found my maiden, my love. Reluctantly she said she'd try.

And for her that a great start." He looked down again and giggled a little. But, it seemed half hearted.

Did it mean he really does love me???? Plus I don't think I've ever seen this broken down. And he's

trying to hide it for my sake; so I'll be happy. And….if what he says is true about Princess Utau

then……….then it was really just a big misunderstanding. And I'm really the one at fault, I was

eavesdropping on them. Not exactly a how to show someone you love them, if you can't even trust

them. This made me feel bad. I was always saying how he was not to be trusted and look what I've

done to him. And yet…… he's still here. Not even asking for my love in return but only my happiness.

How could I have been so cruel? I saw the tiniest spec of a tear escape him and drop to the ground. He

was crying?!! For me?!!!

He looked up again and seemly to have regained some of his composer, stoked my hair gently. "If you

will permit me one last goodbye," before I could answer he held up my chin gently, leaned in and kissed

my cheek. As he did another tear rolled done his face. And in that kiss I knew he truly loved me. He

was putting all his heart into that firm but, gentle passionate kiss. He finally pulled away.

"Amu. I do and always will love you. Goodbye." He turned around and started to go. I relived I

couldn't stand it anymore. I loved him, I really did. And he loved me. I didn't really want to leave him.

"No, wait!" I called after him. He turned to face me. I blushed. "I…I…………I LOVE YOU TO

IKUTO!!!!!!! I NEVER REALLY WANTED TO LEAVE YOU!!!!!! I THOUGHT YOU DIDN"T LOVE ME!!! I

thought you were teasing me again. I'm sorry I hurt you." I started to cry. I buried my face in his chest.

He rapped his arms around me and smiled softly down at me.

"Shhhh. Don't cry, Amu. It's ok. It was I who hurt you. I'm sorry." He kissed my head. His embrace

seemed to give me strength and I was able to stop my tears and look up at him and smile softly. He

smiled back. Suddenly he fell to his knees in front of me and took something out of his pocket, opened

it took my hand and held it up to me. IT WAS A RING!!!!!! A beautiful gold and diamond ring. I almost

leapt for joy. I felt like I was going to explode. My heart race and thumped so loudly I could barley hear

my self think. But it was truly happening.

"Lady Hinamori Amu, will you marry me?" I notice he blushed as he looked up into my eyes, holding a

soft sweet gaze. I blushed back and shyly said,"Yes." Gradually all my feelings started to boil up inside

and I had to let them out. "Yes! YES!!!!!! OF COURSE!!!! OF COURSE I"LL MARRY YOU!!!" He stood up

and handed me the ring and I jumped into arms crying, this time for joy. And he hugged me back. I

quickly kissed him on the cheek and jumped back letting him slid the delicate ring on my finger. He

clasped my hand in his and we looked up and each other smiling. We closed our eyes and leaned in to

kiss. I seemed to last an eternity but it was worth every second of it. Just to be here with him, and have

the love between us glowing brightly. I never wanted it to end.

Miki, Ran and Suu all sighed happily,"Awwwww." Ran even did a special cheer for us. Yoru just rolling

his eyes,"Ok. Ok. Enough with all the mushy gushy stuff. Let's get something good to eat. Like fish!"

Miki with an unimpressed look and said dryly, "You and Ikuto are the only ones here who like fish."

"Nya. So what?!" he replied.

"So, what about Amu-chan and the rest of us! That's rude to just plan meals only for yourselves." Miki

shot back.

"Yay, well so what if it is. As long as Ikuto's happy, I'm not going to concern my self with anyone else."

Yoru replied and stuck out his tongue at Miki.

"Why you little…..come back here." Miki chased after him.

Ran and Suu just giggled,"That's true love there. It looks like we've got two happy couples today."

Yoru and Miki both stopped in their tracks, turned away from each other crossed their arms and made a

big loud,"Hmmppfff"

We all laughed. The next day was the wedding. We were married in front of the whole kingdom inside

the great hall. We gave our vows and exchanged rings. All the while gazing softly and sweetly into each

others eyes. When we had finished our "I do's", there was cheering from the whole crowd and a

beautiful organ and a lovely chorus sprang up in the back ground as we were pronounced husband and

wife and then kissed. A joyful, gentle and heartwarming kiss. Ikuto then lead me up to his father and I

knelt before him. He told me to rise and then kissed my hand and declared,"This couple has my

blessing." The crowed roared again as we were lead to the great golden thrones. I was a little nervous,

it was a big chair to fill. But then Ikuto grabbed my hand and held it tight and knew it would be alright.

We would do this together. So hand in hand we sat down on the thrones. Then a crown was place on

my head but, I was not afraid or overwhelmed. As I looked into those loving blue eyes I felt safe and I

knew for certain that it would all be alright. Suddenly I felt a rumble. I looked over at Ikuto and

saw…AN EGG!!!! He looked pretty shocked too. Then it cracked and out popped a cute punk dressed

dog. "Hey, my names Yori! I was born from your desirers to be more loving and loyal," he told Ikuto.

Other charas all crowd around him and say hi, except Yoru who was hiding behind Ikuto's head. The

girls were already enough for him to deal with but, now a dog too!

Yori started to lick Ikuto, he put up with it for a little bit but then told him to stop cause he was

embarrassed. But Yori didn't seem to mind. He just floated over and started licking me. I laughed,"

Oh, Ikuto don't be like that. He's your true self too you know. And he's so loving and adorable." I

giggled again and petted him. Ikuto blushed and reluctantly said,"Ok….If you him……….if you like me

that way then I guess I have to try."

I kissed his cheek saying,"Thank you my husband."

He blushed for a second and then smiled softly and replied,"Your welcome my wife." We kissed again

and the crowd being to far way to hear the conversation; just let out a big,"Awwwwwwwwwwwww."

They all clapped and cheered. And we sat hand in hand. Together forever more.

Sorry its been so long. I've been busy with school. You know how they always cram everything in right before the holidays. Then I went to my grandma's for Christmas and just got back. It was fun but I'm still recovering form the 2 day drive each way. Anyway here it the final chapter. Sorry to disappoint you people who wanted it to keep going. I was sad to stop it to but, I felt like if I kept going it would just turn into random blah. The ending didn't turn out quite as good as I would have hoped but it was ok. I've always been bad at endings. Tips would be nice, if any of you have any. Thanks for reading!
