Takuto's POV-

"Mitsuki," I yelled at the same time as Nikko. He ran to get her as I struggled to get free. Fuyumi and Meroko were being held back by Hino and Tetushi.

They pushed me into the limo along with Meroko and Fuyumi, who immediately got up and were protecting me. Did I mention how much I loved them? Hino and Tetushi got in and the limo sped to our home.

"What have you guys done," spat Tetushi.

"Nothing, I just followed why my heart wanted, isn't that what you wanted me to do," I said innocently. Tetushi gaped.

"Bitch," whispered Meroko. I stared at her giving her an I-thought-you-were-on-my-side look. She pointed to Tetushi and I knew that she called him that.

"That doesn't explain anything," spat Tetushi threw his teeth.

"Hey you always told us to follow your rules and guess what," Fuyumi answered.

"What?"

"We did follow the rules." Tetushi slammed his fist onto the leather seat.

"Loophole," muttered Meroko.

"So dear, you proposed to her, I bet she said no, her parents were there, she doesn't really love you……."

"SHE SAID YES!" I yelled cutting Hino off. She got scared from the outburst.

"Don't talk to your mother that way," Tetushi commanded. I snorted, glaring at him.

"What and you are allowed to call my fiancé atrocious names?" I shot back. He stared at me blankly. I sat back and smirked.

"Well son, you sure know how to joke around, but you don't need to scare the crap out of me." He started laughing; my mother joined him, but laughed weakly forcing a smile.

"I love her and she will be my wife and there is nothing you can do about it." I opened the ring box and his face got angry. It was empty. I waited with eyes closed for the fury to come.

Mitsuki's POV-

Nikko ran up to help me as I started falling. I could believe my ears, they weren't letting Takuto and I see each other. The war was only a week away; I can't kill him at all.

"Mitsuki are you ok," he asked angelically. I turned to face him, but out of the corner of my eyes I saw Izumi's and Ruka's eyes light up, and Ayu's and Tskimori's eyes darken. My parents wanted me to love Nikko. How dare them.

"Yes, I'm fine," I saw the mayor take out his cell phone and press the record button. He saw me looking and winked at me. I smiled, and Nikko thought I was smiling at him.

"Mitsuki, love, do you want to go out tonight," he asked. That got me mad.

"You know what Nikko," I asked him. His was studying me. I kicked his shin and he let out a scream.

"No, you made me get taken away from the love of my life, I will NEVER love you," I spat at him and punched him in the jaw. I felt my bones crunch, but I didn't care. The mayor was laughing his head off and I gave him a high five. My parents were gaping at me and Ayu and Tskimori were trying to be nice, but it slipped.

"You LOVE him?!?!?!? That is completely obscured!" yelled Izumi.

"Izumi calm down, take deep breaths…." Said Ruka frantically, trying to calm him down.

"I can't calm down; my daughter is in love with a leech."

"Wait, wait, wait, it doesn't matter what we are, we are all beings on this planet, seriously we all have a human form, you guys are acting like they are the monsters and you guys aren't. Well for your information to us you werewolves and them vampires are monsters." The mayor pointed out. I love this guy, he knows exactly what to say, when to say it and it causes whoever he pointed out to be wrong freeze in shock.

"Wouldn't humans freak out if this huge mammal came into town? They would be screaming their heads off, and we would be staring at them like they are crazy. Or maybe vampires, they come out at night and start showing off their teeth, seriously, they could start drinking people's blood and think it is normal." He continued. Izumi put his hand and his face. He sighed and then growled.

"I am seriously going to hate this, but you do have a point, but I don't want to see you getting hurt, Mitsuki. You aren't my only daughter, but you are special to me, just like your brother and sister." I looked at my father tears welling up in my eyes. I have never seen his soft side.

"What I am trying to say is no father wants to lose their little princess." I ran to my father and hugged him.

"This is exactly why I married your father, but Mitsuki, we can't let you go to him." My heart stopped.

"But…."

"We see your side and you see ours, but still we aren't changing our minds." Ruka looked at me sadly, guilt in her eyes.

"What so you want me to marry Nikko? I love him, but as a brother, nothing more," I screamed my head off. Dammit, why, why do they have to do this?

"Well then we could force you……" Force me; oh they have gone too, too far.

"Hold it, force me, and you wanted me happy,"

"End of discussion." Izumi's face looked deadly.

"But…"

"I JUST SAID END OF DISCUSSION!!!" Tears were staining my cheek. Nikko got off the ground after I kicked him. I wasn't going to me, which was really wise of him. He loved me, but I didn't understand him. He looked sad. I looked at Ayu and Tskimori; they were ready to kill my parents. The guards had to hold them in place. The mayor looked like he was grieving.

"Well then I hope you guys are happy," I whispered and started running, clutching my heart. Where would I go? Where?

It's just a matter of, it's just a matter of
It's just a matter of time
Yeah...Ooh ooh ooh...
It's just a matter of, it's just a matter of
It's just a matter of time

Nikko's POV-

I actually believe that she could be this violent, but she would never try to hurt anyone. She really loves him and I am too selfish to even let her go. She would let me do anything as long as it made me happy. I remember the first time we met.

-Flashback-

"Momma, are we there yet." I asked her. My mother said that I was going to meet someone special and she was going to be my friend.

"Honey, we are almost there, just up this path," I took off after she said that.

"Nikko, slow down," my mother laughed. I laughed also and slowed down letting my mother catch up.

"What a beautiful home, we are finally here. Go ring to doorbell." My mother ushered me to the door and I eagerly rang the doorbell. I waited for a couple of second and then the door opened. On the other side of the door came out the prettiest girl I have ever seen.

"You are so pretty!" I exclaimed, I saw the girl blush and I blushed slightly too.

"Mitsuki Tateshi, and who might you be…."

"Ichji, Nikko Ichji." I was trying to get her to laugh and it worked.

"Oh there he is that handsome little man Mitsuki was dying to meet. Hi I'm Ruka."

"Yuki and this is my son Nikko."

"Very please to meet you, come one in, do you like tea, I have this special jasmine mint tea, it is to die for," Ruka went on and on about it. Mitsuki and I stood there for a couple of second. It was awkward.

"Do you want to see something cool?" Mitsuki asked. Her eyes were wide, and she was biting down on her lip, I seriously couldn't do turn her down.

"Sure."

"GREAT! Come on!" She yanked my hand and we ran. I could barley catch up to her. She was fast, but I really didn't care. We finally stopped at a small little cottage.

"This is the kingdom of fairies, with me being the Queen, but I need a king…….Would you be the king?" she asked me. I nodded and she squealed in delight. Dancing over to me she softly pecks my cheek. That was the moment that I fell in love with her.

-End of Flashback-

Why did my parents force me to meet her, she didn't want to marry me, not at all. She would choose a leech over me.

-Flashback-

"Nikko, I would like to speak with you." Mitsuki's father Izumi called me into his office. I took a seat on a comfy couch and faced Izumi.

"I love that my daughter is finally happy, but I have to tell you that she may not choose you in 3 years. I know I really like you, but it is Mitsuki's decision. All I want you to do is to make her happy, if you would."

I thought about it for a minute. I always want a smile on Mitsuki's face and I hope that it would stay. I never want to see pain in those vibrant eyes……..

"I will sir, I will make her happy, you have my word." Yes, you have my word.

-End of Flashback-

That's right I was to make her happy.

Guess mine is not the first heartbroken
My eyes are not the first to cry
I'm not the first to know
There's just no getting over you
You know I'm just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you
But baby can't you see there's nothing left for me to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you

I was 100% devoted to her, and still am. I love her with all my heart, that won't change, or would it? I sighed. I would never find another person like her.

But now, there's nowhere to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm out of my head hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you
Hopelessly devoted to you

She really didn't push my love aside, but she did leave me. She punched me is the jaw, it didn't hurt, but it hurt my heart.

"No, you made me get taken away from the love of my life; I will NEVER love you," she spat at me.

I winced at that. She literally stole my heart. I gave my heart to her, and hoped that she wouldn't crush it. I trusted her not to crush it.

My head is saying fool forget her
My heart is saying don't let go
Hold on to the end that's what I intend to do
I'm hopelessly devoted to you

No, she didn't hurt me at all. I was warned and I knew that she was going to choose someone else. I knew she only loved me like a brother and it wouldn't change. I will be there for her. I will make her happy, and I will be happy to be at least a part of her life. I will be happy with her decision. Happy? Me? What about me? Would I be happy with the decision? Happy……

Mitsuki's POV-

Where do I go? I couldn't go to Nikko, I hurt him too much. I…I don't like him…..at all….yes….I just liked him as a brother.

I know you want to make things right
To move ahead, find a way to win the fight
And though it's hard to keep the faith
We'll make it through if we take it day by day

I heard a song, it was beautiful and the man's voice was beautiful. No it couldn't be Takuto, or Nikko. I gasped.

"Guess who!"

They say that all good things
Will come to those who wait
And if we believe in each other (Believe in each other)
I know we can make it together (Ooh ooh...)

"Mr. Mayor." *Ha-ha, inside joke in school, from Seussical*

He smiled and kept singing. The wind blew across the forest.

Baby it's just a matter of time
If we can take it slow everything will be alright
Let it flow, and I know that we'll find
It's just a matter of time

I was just a matter of time. Just a matter of time. The mayor held out a hand and I grabbed it. He pulled me up and he led me to an open field, no not a field a meadow.

When you feel down and out of touch
And no-one's there, no-one's there to lift you up
Life's not as bad as it may seem
Just hold on tight and never lose sight of your dreams

"You know you love Nikko," he said.

"I don't know, really," I replied truthfully.

"Yes, no one ever knows until they choose one thing, sometimes people regret the choices they made and wonder if they would be better off with the other thing." He said. I looked up at him and he smiled. I sighed.

"Well I think you have2 amazing choices, but what do I know I am just a crazy old man," he chuckled I shook my head.

"No you are not crazy, you are really helpful," I said.

"Well let's not get off track then, but you do love both and I know you will make the right decision. Whoever you are with, you will be able to stop all things that you don't want to happen." With that said he stood up and left.

They say that all good things will come to those who wait (ooh)
and if we believe in each other (Believe in each other)
I know we can make it together (Ooh ooh...)

Baby it's just a matter of time
If we can take it slow everything will be alright
Let it flow, and I know that we'll find
It's just a matter of time

It's just a matter of, it's just a matter of
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of, it's just a matter of
It's just a matter of time

And if we ever lose our way (ever lose our way...)
I know we can find a brighter day (find a brighter day...)
There is no mountain (no mountain) we can't climb (ooh ooh...)
It's just a matter of time

Baby it's just a matter of time
If we can take it slow everything will be alright (alright)
Let it flow (oh oh oh) and I know we can make it together
'Cause baby it's just a matter of time (Woh oh)
If we can take it slow (Take it slow) Everything will be alright
Let it flow (Woh oh oh)
And I know that we'll find it's just a matter of time

I know that we'll find it's just a matter of time

Who am I kidding, I love Nikko also. I love him I love him, there I said it. But I love Takuto too. I thought for a minute and smiled. I knew what I was going to do. I just need to ask a friend a favor. Finally I will be able to talk to him truthfully.

It's just a matter of, it's just a matter of
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of, it's just a matter of
It's just a matter of time

I can finally speak the truth to him………
