I don't own G.A
*Ruka's P.O.V*
"So you aren't satisfied with my decision?", Izumi-san asked me, looking at me with an arched brow. "I do agree. Thing is, I don't know if Mikan is ready", I answered fixing my tuxedo.
"I just want her to never be alone. As a father, I don't know if I'll be able to be always by her side.", he muttered slightly sad even though he tried to mixed it with a small laugh. "Izumi-san, let's go greet the guests", I offered with a smile.
He smiled as well, following my steps to the inside of the chapel, the Yukihira chapel was incredible beautiful. Truth is, I was only 30 minutes away from marrying the woman I have always loved.
"Ruka-kun!", a voice called me, I turned to look at the owner. "Tsubasa-sempai!" , I smiled when I recognized the one calling me. "You actually did it!", he said in disbelief man-hugging me. "Seems like so", I commented.
"Ruka, make Mikan the happies girl, okay?", he smiled waving goodbye. "We'll see each other later!", I said waving goodbye as well, I wasn't able to reply his request though.
Make Mikan happy, huh?
"Nogi-kun, it is a pleasure to finally meet you", another voice called. I gave an unknowingly look; who is this man?
"Hyuuga Ioran, pleased to meet you". My eyes widened instantly, I couldn't believe it. This man is Hyuuga's father! It actually had sense since they had a lot of similarities…"Hyuuga-san, it is my pleasure", I greeted politely. "Nice to meet you, Ruka-kun. I'm Yoshiro", a woman behind her said. She didn't look like him at all nor like Aoi. "Yoshiro-san, Hyuuga-san, please take sit", I invited.
I can't treat them badly, it's not their fault they have a rotten son.
"Ruka-kun! Time to get settle!"
It's time…
The whole chapel was full; many important personalities were sitting in front of me…people of power. The bells started sounding and the pianist started playing the song of the entrance.
Here comes the bride…
She walked gracefully taking her father's arm. He seemed to have a look like if he was just about to collapse into a shower of tears. Mikan looked absolutely stunning…more than that, perfect. People say "nobody's perfect" but screw them; surely they haven't seen Mikan. The wedding dress fitted her perfectly, like if it was made for her.
I sighed silently, only thinking how lucky I was…I was marrying the love of my life!
Why do I feel like this is wrong then?
She stood next to me while Izumi whispered the following words into my ear; "Make Mikan happy". I smiled in response and turned to look at Mikan's mesmerizing hazel eyes.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God, and in the presence of these witnesses, to join together this man, Nogi Ruka and this woman, Yukihira Mikan in holy matrimony; which is an honorable estate, instituted of God."
Shouldn't I be happy, for god's sake!?
"Yukihira Mikan, do you take Nogi Ruka to be your husband? Do you pledge to share your life openly with him and to speak the truth to him, honor him and keep him, in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, so long as you both shall live?", the priest make the well-known question.
"I do", she said loudly enough for everybody to listen.
I almost laughed when remembering whenever I dreamed about marrying Mikan, and look at us now…
"Ruka Nogi, do you take Yukihira Mikan to be your wife? Do you pledge to share your life openly with her and to speak the truth to her, honor her and keep her, in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, so long as you both shall live?", now it was my turn to answer.
Yes, I do! I do! I definitely do!
"I-"
"How are you supposed to make a wedding without the groom?", a masculine voice interrupted. Every guest turned their faces, trying to localize the crimson eyes' one. "Reporting myself, Hyuuga Natsume, the only heir of the Hyuuga family; also, Yukihira Mikan's fiancé"
Hyuuga Natsume…
"Natsume!?", his dad asked raising from his sit. "He's an impostor!", Yoshiro started shouting. "Take him out of the chapel!", she demanded.
That is the real Natsume…why his mother doesn't recognize him?
"Dad, look at me. Am I not your son?", he asked taking steps closer to his dad but was stopped by security. "Natsume?", he asked. "Don't let them fool you. He's not your son!", Yoshiro complained.
And the worse mother award goes to…
"Dad! , Mikan!", he shouted but he was taken away by the guards.
The guests looked still surprised for such a weird event but eventually sat in their places just like before the little interruption. The silence rolled for a while until the priest cleared his throat. "Nogi Ruka?", he recalled.
"O-oh, I'm sorry", I said turning my gaze to Mikan.
I was surprised when I saw her face, she seemed troubled. When she raised her head and locked eyes, I could see the fear and resentment hiding in her eyes. I sighed slightly, realizing about one thing.
"Do you take Yukihira Mikan as your wife?", he asked one more time.
I grinned slightly, moving my hand and placing it into Mikan's cheek, then turned to give her a kiss on her forehead. I whispered something into her ear and then answered; "I do not"
The guests' gossips were loud and people were making way to many questions. "Did the groom said no?"
"Ruka, what the hell is this!?", Izumi-san asked looking unpleased.
"I'm doing what you ask me, I'm making Mikan happy", I answered giving a slightly push to her. She started running to the exit, leaving the heels aside. I could only watch her back; she was going to find her happiness, right?
I started apologizing to every guess while a thought wasn't leaving my head. How could I make Mikan happy is being by my side makes her miserable?
Mikan, this is how much I love you…You better be happy!
*Mikan's P.O.V*
"Go, find your happiness. I love you", he whispered. After that, I couldn't stop my feet.
Thank you Ruka, I love you too…
I opened the door and ran looking for the exit. "Bring Mikan back!", I heard my father's voice.
Damn...Of course, I was being naïve by thinking things would go smoothly.
"Stop!", I heard the guards chasing after me, I kept running nevertheless. "I got you!", the guard said taking my arm tightly. "Ouch", I protested in pain trying my hardest to get rid of his grip.
In a moment, the guard fell to the floor. I could only gasp in disbelief, "Mikan, quickly go with Natsume!", Tsubasa called with a rock in his hand. Did he hit the guard with a rock!? "I've realized he cares about you"
"Thank you", I said smiling warmly. His support meant the world to me and I knew he didn't like Natsume, but still he helped me.
I stopped for a moment, panting loudly. I've been running for a while and the adrenaline was already drown out. I raised my head to think where should I look next?, and it was then where I found him. He was on the phone, sitting down on the garden. The guards were on the floor, I preferred not to think about what happened to them.
He turned his gaze to me, standing up and ending the call. I could only run again with the slight energy I had left.
"NATSUMEEE!"
*Natsume's P.O.V*
"Who is it?", I asked answering the phone call I had just received. "Hotaru", she answered coldly. I raised a brow slightly surprised. "Natsume, please…stop Mikan's wedding! Please, I know I'm being selfish but I can't let Ruka marry her, and I can't let Mikan be miserable at Ruka's side!", she explained.
"The ice queen is asking for a favor?", I smirked. "Who the hell do you think I am? I'm already here", I answered.
"Where is Mikan?", she asked.
"In the chap-" ,I raised my face and saw her. She was shoeless, and her hair was loose, she seemed tired but looked stunning anyways. "Forget it, she's right here", I said ending the call and standing up.
When I was about to give the first step towards her, she came running to me. "NATSUMEEE"
She literally jumped to my arms, I wasn't expecting that but quickly opened my arms and cough her. When was the last time I hugged her?
"You big idiot!", she said.
Strike one…
"What the hell are you doing here!?"
Strike two…
"Didn't I say I wasn't going to stay with you!?
Strike three…you're out!
"Okay stop it there. Why did you come here if you didn't want me?", I asked annoyed by all of her past words.
"I-I wanted you to stay in France, I thought you'll be safe there. I was going to speak with my father about your situation!", she explained.
"Thank you, Mikan", I said placing her back to the ground. "But this is my fight"
"Then, let's fight together!", she said with a serious look on her face.
I couldn't help but to laugh slightly, "So will you stay with me?"
"Natsume, I-I have things I haven't tell you", she said lowering her gaze.
Things she hasn't tell me?
"And we'll have time to speak about it but I need to know first, will you stay with me?", I asked again looking at her hazel eyes. "You will hate me when you find out", she muttered.
"I wouldn't hate you", I answered. I felt anxious, didn't she love me before? "Am I too late?"
"Idiot", she said again. I was getting used to it though. "You have always been late", I felt hurt with her words. "But, wasn't I always willing to wait for you?", she said with a smile.
I only took both of her cheeks with my hands and kissed her lips. It was a short kiss, her eyes widened and her face had been replaced with a tomato.
It wasn't enough…
I kissed her again, this time longer and sweeter. It took seconds for her to close her eyes and answer the kiss back. She played with my hair and my hand rested on her waist, bring her closer to me.
We gasped for air and her face was even redder than before. I took her hand intertwining fingers. We started walking back to the chapel.
"Idiot"
I really do love Mikan.
*Luna's P.O.V*
"She thinks she'll have it all now. Well, I must thank Natsume for stopping the wedding and saving me all the trouble", I said to Narumi, who was sitting next to me on the car.
"I'll deactivate the gas bombs", he said pressing some bottoms on his laptop.
I sighed slightly disappointed. "I wanted everybody to faint and we could take Ruka after that. Not fair", I pouted.
"At least they didn't get married", he answered closing his laptop.
"Yeah, but this hasn't finished yet"
Yukihira Mikan, don't you dare to think you'll be happy. You have to pay me back, pay all the suffering I've felt.
*Mikan's P.O.V*
First kiss was sweet, the butterflies in the tummy aren't a lie after all. When he kissed me the second time it was deeper and it all shouted one word "Possession"
"Mikan!", my mother called approaching to us. She looked at our hands intertwined and then raised her head locking them in Natsume's. "You really are Natsume", she gasped in disbelief.
"Mikan, do you know what have you done?", my father arrived looking at me angrily.
"I'm sorry dad", I whispered, Natsume took my hand harder. "Izumi-san, Yuka-san, it has been a while. I'm back to carry with my responsibility as the heir of the Hyuuga family", he said without stuttering or doubting.
"Natsume, we're really glad you are save; however, this is not that simple", my dad commented with a sigh.
"I promise to fix the misunderstandings, to apologize every guest and to have the wedding as soon as possible. Please, listen to what I have to say"
"Mom, Dad…When I was in Japan I lost my memories, I didn't even have a place to stay. He gave a room in his house and even enroll me to a high school. I really owe him, please listen to him", I begged.
"Yoshiro-san!?", both of my parents asked in disbelief. Natsume had told them the story and the reason why he left. They couldn't have reasons to reject Natsume anymore.
"Natsume, thanks for everything you have done and please let us help you", my mom asked as my dad nodded.
I smiled taking Natsume's hand. "See, we can fight together"
He smiled back to me, I still couldn't get used to his smile, which was mesmerizing but rare.
I really do love Natsume.
*Author's P.O.V*
"This will be your room", Mikan said turning the light on. "Thank you for letting me stay here", Natsume said touring the room with his eyes. It was a beautiful traditional room.
"Sleep well", Mikan said planting a quick kiss on his lips.
Natsume was surprised by Mikan's audacity. "Dream about me", he teased.
"Idiot!", she said turning the door knob. "Natsume, stop playing" , she said realizing the door was locked.
Natsume tried to open the door but again, he couldn't. "Should we call someone?", he asked.
"It will not be necessary", a voice behind them said.
"Luna!", Mikan cheered, she was about to hug her when Natsume took her hand, stopping her.
"You did this, didn't you? What do you want?", Natsume asked, rolling his eyes. "What are you talking about Natsume?", Mikan asked with a dumbfound expression.
"Yes, it was me. You think you'll be happy, right Mikan?", she asked. "Luna, what is this?"
"You think you'll have it all, you always have it all. But not this time, Yukihira Mikan", she started. "Narumi, you know what to do"
Mikan's gaze turned to the blond man, who was standing behind Luna. She wasn't moving, she could only see how Narumi took a gun and started pointing Mikan with it. Natsume stood in front of her. "Narumi, are you really going to do whatever Luna says!?"
"Yes", he answer curtly.
"You promised to never leave me alone…you said you were always going to be by my side. I trusted you! I loved you! You were special to me!", she said taking all the pain out, she was crying unstoppable.
"I'm sorry", Narumi muttered.
And then, the sound of a shot was heard…
