Wedding Bells!
The maids were working on my hair, makeup, and the decorations. The time for the wedding has come and the wall that divides the two Kingdoms is halfway gone. My dress is strapless and all white. From the chest to the waist beads cover the dress in an elegant design then the dress flowed and stopped just under my knees all ruffled at the bottom. Underneath that part was even more fabrics that touched the floor and had an elegant design the beads created. (Please go on my profile to look at the dress it looks awesome!) I took a deep breath in and opened my eyes after they finished the makeup. I asked for natural looking makeup, but it did the trick my complexion is flawless. My hair was left down curly, but both sides of my bangs were woven into braids that circled the sides of my head and on the right side in the braid was a small purple flower. "Princess Rima it's about time you get ready to walk down the isle," one of the maids said. I stood up and sighed one last time before exiting the room. I was waiting for the music to play standing outside the church doors when Ami ran up to me and hugged me tightly.
"Good luck your so lucky your getting married I want to wear a beautiful dress also," Ami said her hair matching Yaya's who had her hair in a messy bun sticking out everywhere. Ami was wearing a light pink dress and was holding a white basket to throw flower petals out behind the bride. Yaya was wearing a red dress that matched a ribbon in her hair.
"Yaya I'm…scared I don't know what my future holds in store for me," I whispered into her ear.
"Don't worry Rima all of us are going to be facing things head on together," Yaya said hugging me just before the song started to play.
"Thanks Yaya," I whispered before walking down the isle. Yaya following after holding the small train of the dress then Ami throwing out purple flowers on the ground and a few people. Everyone in the crowd gasped commenting on my beauty, but the whole time I was looking at Nagihiko's reaction. He took a step back and almost fell over. I smiled it must have been a beautiful one at that because I could see the photographer taking pictures. The photographer took a bunch of Nagihiko also including one where he was blushing and one where he smiled so beautifully I swear I almost cried. The bouquet that I was holding was made of yellow roses with a red one in the middle. Finally I had made it up to Nagihiko and I held out my hand for him to take. He took it and then we waited for Hikaru the ring bearer to make it to us. He placed a big stylish diamond ring on my finger and I placed a gold band ring on his. The vows were next I blushed when I looked at the huge crowed of people most of them rich the rest were maids and cooks. They were all staring at me and I am to lead and rule over everyone here and more not here.
Ikuto's Point of View
We managed to escape thanks to Kukai, but we still had a long journey home. I glanced over at Amu who hadn't looked at me once since we escaped. I still couldn't get near her since that battle even now I am afraid of the monster that tore that guy to shreds mercilessly. I wonder how the rest of the fight went? I felt bad about being nearly useless in the fight making her fight by herself, but what was with those cold eyes. The blood that covered her hair her face and her side it was creepy it all scared me. I didn't want to see a girl covered in blood with cold eyes that could almost seem dead. "Hey I'm tired let's stop here so we can get some rest," Utau complained landing softly on her knees in the grass.
"Sure we can," Amu's mom Midori said joining Utau. My mother and the dads also sat down under the shade of a tree.
"Well I'm going to go and check out the trail ahead and then be right back," Amu said running off. I decided to follow her both of us used to having to walk for long lengths of time. Once I caught up to Amu I saw a kind hearted smile on her face as she watched the wind blow leaves and flower petals in circles. How can a girl who can be so strong she can hold her own and beat strong guys be so delicate looking. She seems so kind you would never guess her to be a fighter. I walked silently over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. She jumped up in shock. "Hey what are you doing," Amu shouted and turned around seeing my face before hers.
Nagihiko's Point of View
I was right Kukai was a useless best man Kairi and Tadase where more helpful than he was. Though I have to give it to Kukai he did have the best smile out of the three of them. I am wearing a black tux with a purple tie (Very original huh?) my hair kept down. I was extremely nervous, but soon the music started to play and out walked Rima. She is the most beautiful girl I will ever lay my eyes on I thought as I waited for her to reach me. She offered me her hand and I took it gladly as soon as we put the rings on each other's finger we had to do the vows. I got to start so I pulled out the paper and started to read it.
"Rima ever since we first met and started to hang out I had already started to have a huge crush on you. You can be a kind person even though you don't want others to know it and you always make a bad situation better by making people laugh. When I was ten I was going through a tough time and you were the only one who could make me smile and laugh so hard I almost choked. I love you and hope that our love grows even more. Even though this was earlier than I planned on getting married I would still like to say I could and can only see myself marrying you. Rima you are beautiful and more precious than you will ever realize. I love you and I hope you love me also," I said with a smile on my face the whole time. Rima smiled and then gave me a tight hug that told me she was scared we didn't need words to talk as I hugged her back gently telling her that everything would be fine.
"Okay I guess it's my turn then. Nagihiko when I first met you I was deeply jealous of you it seemed like you had everything I didn't and so at first I hated you. But later I grew to recognize that the feeling I thought was hate was actually love and so I felt really stupid. Anyway point is that I have always had a crush on you also. I also hope that we will have many good times to come and even in bad moments that we will stick together. Nagihiko….I love you more than you can know because I won't let it get to your head," Rima laughed.
"Do you take Rima to be your wife until death do you part," the preacher asked.
"Yes!"
"Rima do you take Nagihiko to be you husband until death do you part," he asked.
"O-Of course. Yes!"
"Then I now pronounce you husband and wife, King and Queen," the preacher said causing the crowed to clap loudly. Before cued I leaned in and kissed Rima passionately on the lips causing her to blush, but she did kiss back.
"Wow way to go Nagihiko," Kukai said after whistling.
"Ugh you may now…kiss the bride," the preacher said just before they ended the kiss.
"Wow that was more passionate than usual for the first married kiss," Tadase laughed.
"That girl in red looks stunning," Kairi said quietly with a blush. I turned to look around and saw Yaya standing beside Rima.
"Oh that's Yaya she is the number one doctor you could say," I said chuckling.
"Nagihiko come here we have to do our first dance," Rima said grabbing my hand and dragging me to the dance floor with her. We danced and Rima's hair flowed perfectly behind her. Eventually her father came in and danced with her while my mom danced with me. Soon both Rima and I had danced with almost everyone here.
"Looks like it's time to end the party and go," I said taking Rima's hand and leading her out of the room.
"Maybe, but I just wish that Amu could have made it she always helped me out when I needed it," Rima said resting her head on my shoulder as we left the church. She seemed worn out the wedding had taken forever to finish preparations in addition both of us had to increase our lessons so we would be fit for Queen and King.
"Don't worry I also miss Ikuto even though I will never let him hear that unless I can't control it," I added and in respond rested my head upon hers.
Amu's Point of View
Something touched my shoulder when I was concentrating on the beauty before me. I was watching nature move all around me and let all my worries seep away just for a few sweet minutes. It didn't last long as I jumped up in shock and my memories flood back into my head. "Hey what are you doing," I shouted the question.
"I just came to see if you needed any help…" Ikuto paused with the uncomfortable feeling of regret.
"Why would you do that for? It would mean you would have to be alone with the monster before you. Listen Ikuto, I have had to deal with all kinds of people after my parents were stolen and I tell you it is rare for people to treat me like a human, but the thing is they think my strength is what makes me human. Anyway I apologize for bearing my secret onto you in such a manor, but it was either that or we both die," I said with a cold stare in Ikuto's direction.
"Okay you were right for a while I thought you were a monster, but when I see you outside of fights you seem like an overly caring human. Why do you chose to be overly caring Amu," Ikuto asked with steady calm eyes.
"Why? It's obvious even if others see me as strong on the inside I suffer greatly because of these skills and all the blood it scares me. To put it simply I do it so I can keep my sanity otherwise I'm afraid I will go crazy," I mumbled quietly.
"Amu I can't promise much, but I can promise that I won't think of you as a monster ever again," Ikuto smiled warmly.
"Th-Thanks, but you better keep that promise even if things get really bad," I started out surprised and soft then ended up loud.
"Hey what are you two doing our parents are going to fall asleep by the time you two are done checking the road up ahead," Utau said emerging from tall brush and trees.
"Oh well then we better get back then," I said grabbing Ikuto's arm and dragging him along behind me.
"Hey wait for me you two! That is really mean," Utau shouted chasing after us.
"Hey hurry up Amu! Utau is gaining ground on us fast," Ikuto shouted with worry.
"No problem," I laughed. I still haven't totally forgiven Ikuto he has to prove himself through his actions, but until then I can keep up a boundary. I wonder what Rima's reaction will be when she sees me after such a long period of time. I guess I will just have to wait until the time comes, but everyone knows that's boring.
Hey everyone it has been a while hasn't it! Anyway I'm sorry, but the internet wasn't working for a long time and then school started so between the two problems it has taken me a while to get back to posting! Anyway thanks for waiting and I hope to update soon!
