Hi! Sorry this chapter was a little late! I've been so busy with the lemon chapter, because I'm trying to make it really good while keeping Hikari and Kei in character. But anyways... Enjoy, as always!
Things you should know before reading: Special A: Jougai Rantou means 'Special A: Street Fight'. This fanfic is called Special A: Tatakai Tsudzukeru, which means 'Special A: Fight Continue'.
Disclaimer: I do not own Special A or any of the characters. I DO own my personality.
Mokuyobi (Thursday)
Step, step, step, step, squeak.
"Shh! She'll hear us!"
"Sorry!"
Step, step, step, step, step...step...CREAK.
"This door needs oil."
"We'll tell Hikari later."
Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, tip-toe, tip-toe, stop.
"On three?"
"Yeah."
"One, two...THREE!"
"Hikari! TIme to wake up!" Akira, Sakura, Finn, and (yes) Megumi yelled.
"Eh?!" Hikari shouted, sitting up in her bed, surrounded by her girl friends.
"It's today! Your wedding!" Sakura squealed.
"Yes...your wedding…" Akira sobbed.
"Time to get moving, princess!" Finn sang.
'First, a shower,' Megumi scribbled.
"Yes, Megumi is right. Now come along!" Sakura said, pulling Hikari towards her bathroom.
"I can shower by myself!" Hikari shouted out.
15 minutes later...
"TOO...CUTE!" Akira screamed, covering her eyes. Hikari just put on her wedding dress.
"Yes, yes, it looks exactly like the one from the Elusive Dream World," Finn said, scratching her head.
"Right! It does…! Wait, how do you know about the Elusive Dream World?" Sakura asked, confused.
'You weren't there,' Megumi pointed out. Finn winced (anime style!).
"My country makes those magical chocolates, you know. So whenever someone makes a wish and goes to the Elusive Dream World, a royal family member gets sucked into their dream as well, and I happened to go to Hikari and Kei's dream. Remember that 'voice of wind'?" (Author's note: refer to Chapter 1 for clarification)
'So that was Finn,' everyone thought.
"Anyways," Sakura said, picking up a piece of Hikari's hair, "today is an important day! Not only is Hikari-chan getting married, Hikari is also graduating today!" Sakura wrapped the piece of hair around the curling iron.
"EH?!" everyone gasped.
"Since me and Kei's grades are basically the highest they can go, Tadashi's mom is letting us graduate early," Hikari explained.
"Hikari! You left me all alone!" Akira cried, hugging her. Megumi pulled her away.
'Sakura is curling Hikari's hair. You might get burned,' she wrote.
"Who cares if I get burned?! My angel Hikari is leaving the SA!" Akira wailed. Hikari patted her friend's hand.
"Why don't you graduate early too? You have outstanding grades as well. In fact, all of the SA have similar grades. We're only about two points apart," Hikari reminded Akira.
"That's right. I'll do that in December!" Akira vowed to herself.
"And...voila! My masterpiece!" Sakura cried out in triumph. Hikari's hair fell in soft waterfall waves.
"Beautiful!" Finn shouted, holding a mirror in front of Hikari.
'My turn. I'll do Hikari's make up,' Megumi decided.
"Sure thing," Finn said, handing Megumi the make up bag. Megumi studied Hikari's face, finally applying liquid eyeliner and mascara. She put a layer of turquoise eyeshadow next to a layer of aquamarine eyeshadow and baby blue eyeshadow, blending them into each other. It had the effect of looking like ocean waves.
"Wow, Megumi, I didn't know you were that good!" Sakura exclaimed.
'I've been practicing,' Megumi smiled.
"I think we're set. Girls, behold." All four gazed at their light.
"Oh! One more thing," Hikari said. She grabbed her veil and fixed it onto her head.
"Perfect," Akira nodded, forgetting Kei for a moment.
"You guys can go now. You're my bridesmaids, remember? And the wedding starts at 9 a.m. It's already 8 a.m." Hikari said. Sakura, Megumi, and Finn nodded, leaving the room. Akira stayed.
"What's wrong, Akira?" Hikari asked, worried. Akira gave Hikari a small hug.
"Even though you're getting married, we'll still be together, right?" Akira asked childishly. Hikari gave her a warm smile.
"Always," Hikari said, kissing her on the cheek. Akira smiled a little.
"Now don't tell Kei I kissed my maid-of-honor on the cheek. Even though we're best friends, he'll still get jealous of you," Hikari winked. Akira grinned back.
"Cross my heart and hope to die," Akira said playfully, pretending to cross her heart. Akira opened the door and left the room. Hikari sighed and looked outside. It was a very sunny and warm day for November 22. Not only was it her wedding day and her graduation day, it was also her to-be husband's birthday. Hikari smiled, closing her eyes. This had to be the best present she had given Kei.
8:57 a.m.
Hikari stood at the car door with her father, all dressed up. Since they had decided it would be a small wedding, they also decided it should be held in the park that was near Hikari's house. Their guest list had the following people: Kei's mom, dad, and brother, which made three; Hikari's brother, dad, and mom, which made three; Ryuu and his sister, making two; Tadashi and his mother and father, making three; Jun, Megumi, their mother and father, making four; Akira, her father and mother, making three; Yahiro and his brother, which made two; Sakura and her father, which made two; Aoi and Alisa, making two; and finally Finn, making a total of 25. All set.
"Hikari, it's 9 a.m. The music is starting," Hikari's father reminded her. And so it was. The wedding march rang out in the air. Hikari began walking down the aisle with her father. She kept her eyes on Kei, in his tuxedo, waiting for her. His eyes had the look of a dead man brought to life. Hikari's dad gave her away and Hikari faced Kei. His bedhead hair was tidied up like at Yahiro's party. Hikari barely heard the priest saying whatever had to be said until the marriage vows Kei had to repeat rang out from his mouth:
"Watakushi wa kono josei to kekkonshi
Fufu to narou to shite imasu
Watakushi wa kenkouna tokimo
Soudenai tokimo
Kono hito o aishi
Kono hito o uyamai
Kono hito o nagusame
Kono hito o tasuke
Watakushi no inochi no kagiri
Kataku sessou o mamoru koto o
Chikai masu.
This woman, I marry
No matter what the health situation is
I will love this person
Respect this person
Console this person
Help this person
Until death
Protecting fidelity
I swear." Kei repeated the words back. The priest turned to Hikari.
"Watakushi wa kono dansei to kekkonshi
Fufu to narou to shite imasu
Watakushi wa kenkouna tokimo
Soudenai tokimo
Kono hito o aishi
Kono hito o uyamai
Kono hito o nagusame
Kono hito o tasuke
Watakushi no inochi no kagiri
Kataku sessou o mamoru koto o
Chikai masu.
This man, I marry
No matter what the health situation is
I will love this person
Respect this person
Console this person
Help this person
Until death
Protecting fidelity
I swear." Hikari repeated back. The priest turned back to Kei.
"Shinro, Kei, anata wa kono josei to kekkonshi fuufu to naru to shite orimasu.
Anata wa, kenko na tokimo, soudenai tokimo, kono hito o aishi, kono hito o uyamai, kono hito o nagusame, kono hito o tasukete, sono inochi no kagiri kataku sessou o mamoru koto o chikaimasu ka?
Groom, Kei, you this woman marry and become her partner.
Will you in peaceful times, during sickness, this person love, this person respect, this person comfort, this person help, until death, do you promise to fulfil?" The priest asked.
"Hai. Chikaimasu," Kei responded. (*Translation: Yes, I promise*) The priest turned to Hikari.
"Shinpu, Hikari, anata wa kono dansei to kekkonshi fuufu to naru to shite orimasu.
Anata wa, kenko na tokimo, soudenai tokimo, kono hito o aishi, kono hito o uyamai, kono hito o nagusame, kono hito o tasukete, sono inochi no kagiri kataku sessou o mamoru koto o chikaimasu ka?
Bride, Hikari, you this man marry and become his partner.
Will you in peaceful times, during sickness, this person love, this person respect, this person comfort, this person help, until death, do you promise to fulfil?" The priest asked her.
"Hai. Chikaimasu," she replied. Her face glowed radiantly as she said that. Kei had tears, yes TEARS, brimming his eyes.
"You may kiss the bride," the priest finished. Hikari pushed up on her tip-toes and Kei kissed her gently. Tadashi and Ryuu wolf-whistled loudly while Akira, Jun, Sakura, Megumi, Yahiro, Finn, and everyone else cheered. Cameras flashed as the first snow began to fall. Hikari gave a sunny smile as Kei picked her up princess/bridal-style.
So yeah, that's it for now! Hikari and Kei are off on their honeymoon next ;) you now what that means! I thought that adding the proper Japanese marriage vows was a good thing. I made sure to put the translation as well. Well, time to type up that lemon! Ja ne! :)
