A Bundle Of Terror: Kazuki's Heart!
A/N: Sorry for the long delay. Had many things to get done. Thanks for all the reviews and honors. Heck, even my readers that don't review deserve credit here. This was made into my most read story that has no lemon! LOL. If it wasn't for that YYH story, then this would be number one. Thank you all. Special thanks to my beta Brokenshardsofmyheart99! And this will be done from Kazuki's POV, but after this chapter, it'll go back to third person POV.
As I watch my friends saunter out of my apartment, I begin to ponder about all that has happened. In all honesty, I can't remember anything that happened. No, that's not true. I remember being close to Juubei and Toshiki. Somehow, I think I feared Akabane, as any sane person would. There other people too, but that's all blurry in my mind. Though I would like to know how I became a model for baby clothes and how I got attached to a bear that I named Baba.
Closing the door after they're no longer in my view, I sigh. Yes, I wish I could remember what had happened when I was a baby, but I know that there might be a reason for me not remembering. And who knows? Maybe one day I will recall all of the events. However, right now I was ecstatic about the ring on my hand, not because of how much it was worth or because it meant that I was getting married. It reminded me of Juubei, the man I've loved ever since I first saw him.
Though I never knew it before, I now do. I believe in love at first sight. When I was a child, my parents would tease me about my vowing to never fall in love. Who knew they would be right? It saddens me to know that they won't be present at my wedding, but I know they would have accepted Juubei and I, despite the fact that the bloodline might end with us both.
"I hope Juubei has luck," I muttered to an empty apartment. The sole reason for the entire gang to be here was for the wedding preparations. I already had my wedding dress, much to my chagrin. The dress was beautiful and envied by the girls, but… I'm not a girl, am I? Now it was time that Juubei chose his wedding outfit.
The doorbell rang and I turned from where I stood to go answer it. Opening the door, I felt a looming presence that I recognize at once. "Hello, Akabane. Would you like to come in?" I asked, stepping out of the way so the man could come in.
"Thank you, but no," he said. It startled me to hear that, but I nodded anyway. "I'm here to apologize," he continued after a short pause. Before I could ask for what, he answered me. "I was the one to turn you into an infant. Why? Because, my dear, I wanted that protector of yours to come to his senses and realize that he loves you." My jaw could drop from that confession, but he went on. "And by turning you into a mere infant, you were drained back to your almost primal instincts. That's why you were able to confess your love for him without any qualms about it. Though I must say that it was Lady Poison's idea to get you into that dress once the… Poison, I suppose, wore off." He smiled at me before adjusting his black hat and turning around. "I hope you accept my apology. Goodbye."
"Thank you, Kurodou Akabane, but there's nothing to forgive. I should thank you," I said, stopping him in his tracks. I walked over to him, leaned up, and kissed his cheek. If I hadn't been looking at his face, I would've missed the slight blush that crept onto his face. He smiled, bowed, and left.
Yes, now I'm certain of what I am about to do. If Dr. Jackal and Miss Himiko thought that Juubei and I should be together for so long, and even arranged all of this, then I know I'm destined for this. I will marry Juubei, my first and last love.
A/N: Thanks for reading. Now you know how it sort of happened. Two more chapters and this will be over.
