Two Weeks

Two weeks left until the wedding. Kai was currently pacing in his room while Tsuki read Kai's magazines; Kai stopped pacing and turned towards Tsuki.

"How the Hell can you stay calm?! The wedding's in two weeks!"

Without looking up, Tsuki replied: "Uh huh…so?"

"So? What do you mean 'so'?"

"Exactly what I mean by so…"

Kai ran a hand through his hair. How can she stay calm? They were getting married for Pete's sake! Unless…

"You've already come up with a plan didn't you?"

Tsuki turned to Kai and raised a brow. What was he talking about? "Uh…no…"

"Are you lying to me?" Asked Kai; folding his arms; trying to intimidate Tsuki into confessing. Tsuki just gave him a bored look and went back to reading.

"You do!" Kai bent down in front of her. Tsuki looked up from her reading and into his violet eyes. She blinked once before answering 'no' in a monotone way. Kai let out an exasperated sigh.

"Gosh! By the way you're acting it's like the thought of marrying me is torture!"

Kai turned to Tsuki and furrowed his brows. She had closed the magazine and turned all her attention to him. Kai let out a sigh.

"Tsuki…you're exaggerating…"

"Am I? Do you want me to record your actions and replay it for you?"

"Tsuki…"

"Hmmm…"

Kai sat next to her. "It's not the fact that I don't want to marry you…it's just…I'm not ready for commitment."

"Okay…so your saying that so far I'm your best option for a girlfriend until someone far better comes along. Nice reason Kai." With that Tsuki got up and headed for the door.

"Tsuki! That's not what I meant!" But he was too late; the door was slammed behind her. Kai pinched the bridge of his nose. He didn't need anymore problems. Kai got up and ran out the door after his girlfriend…or he hoped she was still his girlfriend…

----------

Tsuki briskly walked home, ignoring Kai's calls for her to stop. She speeded up her pace; she didn't want to talk to him right now.

"Tsuki!" Kai grabbed hold of her wrist and turned her to face him. "That's not what I meant! I'm not ready for this! I don't want to get married yet."

Kai stared at Tsuki, waiting for her to do something. She just stood there staring at him with an unreadable expression. After a few minutes of silence, Tsuki shook Kai's hold and began walking, ignoring him once again. Kai let out a low growl. Fine. If she wanted to be difficult then he'll let her. He turned sharply and headed back home, a scowl on his face.

Tsuki entered her home and headed for her bedroom. On her way up she passed Hilary who greeted her but was responded with a grunt. Hilary raised a brow at her step-sister; she was spending way too much time with Kai.

Tsuki plopped herself on her bed and let out a loud sigh. She turned so that she was looking at her ceiling. Kai was such a jerk sometimes; he always forgets to consider what others would think. Why was she with him again? Oh! That's right, because 'opposites attract'. There was an unnatural force pulling them together. Tsuki rolled her eyes and turned her head so that she was looking out the window.

Why was he so concerned over something so stupid? It was just a wedding! Yeah, it was their wedding but so what? She saw no problem with it. If things didn't work out they could always file for a divorce!

Tsuki frowned. What Kai said about not ready for commitment echoed in her ears. If they did get married would that mean Kai was going to cheat on her because he wasn't ready for it? Would she? She scrunched up her nose at the thought. That doesn't sound too good. Would it make them look bad? He was a business man after all; he'd be traveling around the world; meeting new people…girls…he could be tempted to have a secret affair.

Tsuki covered her face with both of her hands. She wasn't even married and she was already considering all of the things that could go wrong. What was she going to do? She didn't have a problem marrying Kai; in fact…a part of her wanted to…after her issue between Marshall and Kai, it made her realize how much she cared about Kai…even if he was an ass at times. Tsuki chuckled at the last comment, but her chuckle slowly died down…would it be like in Anna Karenina? Where Anna wasn't happy and ended up cheating on her husband with someone else, having that guy's baby and then moving in with him, waiting for a divorce? Would it turn out like that? Would she be Anna's husband who loved her so much, but she didn't because she loved someone else? Would that happen to them? Tsuki closed her eyes…she's been reading way too much books! She shook herself of the thoughts; but the silent 'what if…' still remained.

At a completely different street and house, Tala and Renée sat by each other on Renée's sofa talking about the 'to be married couple'.

"So…you think Kai will find a way to cancel it?" Asked Tala trying to strike up a conversation.

"To tell you the truth. I don't see what his problem is. He's probably going to eventually ask her himself. So why not get it over with?" Responded Renée changing the channel. Tala rolled his eyes.

"Well, what if it doesn't work out? Then what?"

"Hn. I don't see why it won't work out! He practically went through Hell just to get her back! Tell me that doesn't spell devotion and love!"

"…Well, that's different! He still liked her!"

"Tala, Tala, Tala…what makes you think he's going to stop? Cupid's arrow got him right at the bull's eye!"

Tala stared at Renée about to retort but decided not too. "Hey Ren? Has cupid hit you yet?"

Renée turned to Tala and raised a brow. "What are you talking about?"

"Well, I'm just saying…would you like to you know…go out with me sometime?"

"How about…no."

"What?! Come on Ren! I know you like me!"

"You must dreaming! Tala, there is no way we'll ever be together."

"Why not?" Tala shifted so he was looking directly at the side of her face. Renée turned to Tala. They just stared at each other for a minute.

"Because…we just won't. Give up!"

"No way! I know you like me! You're just too stubborn to admit it!"

"Right. And pigs can fly."

"They can."

Renée turned to Tala and raised a brow. Tala smirked. "Remember the time that Tsuki pushed Tyson off the diving board…you were there. You saw him fly."

Tala smirked as he saw a small smile tug at Renée's lips. He wasn't about to give up just yet.

-----------

Kai was in a very foul mood. Mr. and Mrs. Hiwatari observed their son as he attacked his dinner, growling and scowling at it as he ate. The parents eyed each other, Mrs. Hiwatari signaling to her husband to take the initiative. Mr. Hiwatari gave his wife a 'no way' look but complied when she glared at him.

"Uh…son. Is there something wrong?"

Kai glanced up…more like glared up, at his father for a minute and then went back to tearing his food apart.

Mr. Hiwatari raised a brow. "Don't you dare glare at me young man! What's wrong?"

"Hn. It doesn't concern you…" Kai stayed silent, fiddling with his food, for a minute before turning to his mother.

"Mom. Why are girls so sensitive?"

Mrs. Hiwatari gave her son an amused look. She now knew what was bothering her son. Mr. Hiwatari stared at his wife and son. Wasn't he supposed to be dealing with this?

"Well, girls aren't that sensitive dear. It just depends on what you say. What did you say to Tsuki that made her upset."

"Hn. I just told her I wasn't ready for commitment! It's not like I said I was going to dump her!"

Through his frustration, he bent his spoon. Mrs. Hiwatari smiled at her son sympathetically. "Well, that could pose a problem. How did you word it…"

"Hn. Just like that. I said I didn't want to get married because I wasn't ready to commit my life to one per…son…oh…"

Mrs. Hiwatari beamed that Kai had finally caught on. Mr. Hiwatari raised a brow. Why is it that he is never included in their conversation?

"Hn. She's still over exaggerating."

"Why don't you go over there tomorrow and talk it out."

"Humph. I did nothing wrong."

"Kai, at least talk it out…you two are getting married!"

"Hn."

Kai went back to playing with his meal. Why did he always have to apologize? It's not his fault that she can't take things lightly! Woman. They were nothing but trouble. Kai let out a sigh.

"I'm going for a walk."

"This late at night?!" Yelled Mrs. Hiwatari in bewilderment. Kai merely grunted a response and headed for the door. Mrs. Hiwatari looked to her husband. "You're just going to allow him to walk off like that?! What if he gets jumped?!"

"Honey, Kai's a grown man now. He can take good care of himself."

"Why I never! Some father you are!"

Mr. Hiwatari watched as his wife placed her dish, not too lightly, in the sink and march off towards their bedroom. Guess that meant he was doing the dishes.

-----------

Kai kicked the pebble out of his way. He looked at his feet, not caring where he was going. When he looked up he found himself in front of Tsuki's home. He let out a sigh and opened the gate and headed for the front door. He was about to knock when he heard Tsuki's distinct voice behind him. He turned…but she wasn't there. Was he hallucinating?

"Down here silly!"

Kai looked down towards their lawn and spotted Tsuki laying sprawled out on it looking up at him. Kai raised a brow and approached her.

"What are you doing here? Do you know what time it is? I could be asleep!"

"Hn. But your not." Kai lay himself next to her. A moment of silence loomed over them.

"So…what are you doing here?"

"Humph. You sound as if you don't want to see me!"

"No…that was earlier, but I'm okay now."

Kai propped himself on his elbow and looked at her. "Tsuki…you know I didn't mean it like that…"

"I know…but you still sounded like an ass."

"Hn."

"I need to talk with your mother about sending you to speech therapy. You really need to expand on your vocabulary!"

Kai narrowed his eyes at her while she grin sheepishly at him before leaning up and planting a quick kiss on his smooth lips. Kai rolled his eyes and situated himself back on the ground.

"What are you doing Tsuki?"

"Stargazing…you?"

"Taking a walk."

"Well, then you better get up cause I know you can't walk while lying down! I've already tried that!"

Kai gave Tsuki an amused look mixed with annoyance before staring back up at the night sky.

"…Kai?"

"Hmm…"

"What will happen if you tell 'grandpa' that you don't want to get married?"

"He'll still make me."

"Oh…Kai?"

"Hmmm…"

"Why don't you want to get married?"

"Hmm…not ready…"

"Why?"

"Because I'm not."

"Why?"

Kai felt a vein throb. He turned and glared at Tsuki who had a smirk on her face. "Will you stop?"

"Why…hahaha…just kidding!" Tsuki rolled over so she was partly on him. Kai wrapped his strong arms around her waist. "Kai?"

"Hmmm…"

"Why not just get it over with? If it doesn't work out we could always get a divorce!"

"Tsuki…look…" Kai propped himself into a sitting position with Tsuki in front of him. "I'm not worried about it not working out…it's just…I don't want you to feel…caged…"

Tsuki furrowed her brows. "Why would I feel 'caged'?"

"I don't know! You just would! You've talked about wanting to do all sorts of things: things that you might not be able to do when we're married."

Tsuki gave Kai an amused look. "What could marriage possibly keep me from doing?"

"How should I know?! I'm not married!"

"You're pathetic! The only thing that could hold me down is kids! And I don't plan on having any until I'm twenty one!"

Kai raised a brow. "Why twenty one?"

"I don't know…just feel like it."

Kai rolled his eyes. Crazy woman. "Hn. And I bet you want like four?"

"Nope. Fifty."

"WHAT?!"

Tsuki looked at Kai like it was the most natural thing in the world. Kai on the other hand had become even paler than he already is. Fifty? She wants fifty?!

"Do you know how hard that's going to be?! Fifty kids?!"

"I know! So if we don't have triplets or twins you better work hard!"

Kai pinched the bridge of his nose, a smirk tugging on his lips. "That's not what I meant, but that's true too."

"Oh…okay…"

Kai stared at Tsuki. "You're serious. You want fifty? Why?"

"I want a big family! But if it bothers you so much we can cut it down to half and have two."

"You mean twenty-five."

"No. When you cut down to half…oh…Well, I mean if you cut down twenty-five…err…halves…then it's two!"

Kai shook his head. "So you want two?"

"Sounds good to me!"

"And you want your first one when your twenty-one?"

"Nope. I want to be knocked up on my twenty first birthday, so be prepared." Tsuki nudged Kai playfully with a playful smirk on her lips. Kai simply rolled his eyes.

"Why are we talking about this?"

"I don't know…you started it."

"Hn."

The couple stayed silent for sometime, gazing at the stars. Suddenly, Tsuki realized something. "Uh-oh…"

"What did you do now?"

"Um…it's not what I did yet…it's what's going to be done if we don't get off the lawn."

Before Kai could ask he realized what Tsuki was talking about as soon as the sprinklers went off…soaking the couple to the bone. Tsuki laughed nervously up at Kai who adorned a scowl.

"Well…at least you could see my chest…"

Kai closed his eyes while inhaling deeply. When he opened them he found Tsuki no longer there.

"Well, night Kai!"

Kai turned around and found Tsuki halfway into her house, smiling sheepishly at him. He felt a vein burst as she shut the door. She was going to pay.

-----------

The next morning, Kai awoke bright and early. He smirked, Tsuki shouldn't be up yet…he was planning to go over there and give her a major wake up call for getting him soaking wet!

He quickly descended the stairs and went straight towards the door. He opened, stopped, closed the door and retraced his steps until he was in the kitchen. His right eye began to twitch irritably. Tsuki was there helping his mom prepare the breakfast table.

Kai clenched his fist and growled. "What. Are. You. Doing?"

"Well, I'm helping to set up the table…" Responded Tsuki, quite slowly as if he were a child.

"I know that. Why aren't you at home?"

"Because…I came over here…"

Kai narrowed his eyes. She was playing with him! Tsuki glanced at Kai as she set down the plates. Maybe he got sick yesterday…

"Kai honey. Why don't you sit? Breakfast is almost ready. After that, you and your father can go shopping."

Kai sat down and raised a brow at his mother. Shopping…for what? Seeing the confused look on Kai's face, Mrs. Hiwatari elaborated: "For your tuxedo honey…remember? The wedding is in two weeks."

Kai stared blankly at his mother and then turned to Tsuki. "What are you doing?"

Tsuki let out a sigh. "I'm supposed to go shop for a wedding dress…" Tsuki made a face of disapproval mixed with a pout. Kai rolled his eyes and continued on his meal. He was half way finished when he noticed that Tsuki wasn't eating.

"What? You going on a diet?"

"No! I already ate thank you very much! Besides, if I go on a diet then I'd have to shop for new pants! And I don't feel like it!"

"Hn. You'd have to lose weight in order to fit in a decent gown."

Kai received a smack on the head from his mother who gave him a stern look.

"Are you indicating that I'm fat?"

"Hn. No…just big bone."

"There's nothing wrong with that?! At least I won't have to worry about breaking my bones easily or getting sick! It's not like I'm anorexic!"

"I never said that."

"You were hinting at it!"

"No. I was just suggesting you cut down until after the wedding!"

"Yeah! Cut down my ass!"

"Actually, I like that part of your body—"

"Kai Hiwatari! We will not have a discussion about that at this table!"

"Sorry…"

Tsuki giggled. She always found it funny when Kai got in trouble. She ruffled his hair and stood up. Mrs. Hiwatari smiled at her. "Ready dear?"

"Sure am!"

"Alright. Kai, make sure you and your father go to the mall and not pass it this time."

Kai rolled his eyes and nodded his head.

"Alright. See you later honey."

"Yeah! See you later honey. Haha!"

Tsuki closed the door behind her even before Kai had the chance to glance up. Kai sneered, he'll get her back later.

-----------

At the bridal store, Tsuki glanced around. So many dresses…what is she going to do? A man dressed in white came up to them, a smile plastered on his tan face.

"What can I do for you two lovely ladies today?"

Mrs. Hiwatari placed her arms on Tsuki's shoulder. "My son and his girlfriend are getting married in two weeks, so we came here to look for a wedding dress."

"Well you came to the right place. Follow me."

Tsuki followed the man who signaled for her to stand in front of the mirrors. Tsuki side glanced at Mrs. Hiwatari who smiled at her. Where were the others? As if reading her thoughts, she heard Hilary and Aya's voice along with her own mother and a final voice that belonged to Renée. When they came into view they smiled at Tsuki.

"Well, let's get this started. Let's try something really hot!" Suggested Aya. Tsuki raised a brow. It was a wedding, not a strip club!

-----------

Kai, Mr. Hiwatari and Tala sat in the car, looking at the mall.

"Do we have to do this?" Asked Tala.

"Yes. You two need your tuxes."

Both males groaned. Mr. Hiwatari rolled his eyes and got out of the car. "Well boys, the faster we get this over with the faster we leave."

With that, the three males headed into the mall to look for the store that sold tuxedos, according to Mrs. Hiwatari.

-----------

"No…makes you look old." Spoke Aya, examining Tsuki who look bored out of her mind.

"Go try another one Tsuki." Suggested Hilary, pushing Tsuki back into the changing room. Renée came back with another gown. "Here Hil, give this to Tsuki."

Hilary nodded and handed Tsuki the gown.

Tsuki groaned. If they didn't find anything she'll just go in white undergarments!

-----------

"Alright. That was fast. You boys hungry?"

Tala and Kai nodded. They had already gotten their tuxedos. Simple as that. It was nothing extraordinary. They went in, got the simple black and white, tried it, bought it and walked out. Simple.

-----------

But for the girls, it wasn't so simple. Tsuki came out and shook her head. The wedding dress she was wearing was like the ones from the golden age, the ones that high aristocrats wore; it puffed out and made her look completely un-proportionate, plus it was making her itchy.

"Go back in dear." Mrs. Hiwatari glanced at Tsuki's mother. This was going to be longer than expected.

On Tsuki's way back to the dressing room she tripped over the dress, landing on top of the lady who was helping them, who bumped into the man they first met, who slipped back into the rack of dresses that fell and hit the other racks and created a domino effect.

Tsuki gaped at the fallen merchandise. She turned to look at the others. "Oops…did I do that?" She felt like Steve from the show 'Family Matters'…she was such a klutz. Getting up, Tsuki brushed her self off; when she glanced up something caught her eye. She headed towards it. It was perfect!

She was so focused on her discovery she forgot about the mess she had created. The attendants began to pick up the fallen racks, mannequins…people. Yup, Tsuki even managed to knock down some costumers…

Hilary, Renée, Aya, Mrs. Hiwatari, and Mrs. Tachibana-Kishuko all glanced around nervously as some of the people and workers glared in their direction. Renée smiled lightly. "I think we'll take the dress that has her in a trance…"
