Chapter 21: Tragedy at the Wedding

For the past 2 months, Mai was getting her treatment. She had a couple of bone marrow transplant and a chemotherapy. She lost her hair but it seems like she's getting better. During those time, Luella and Ayako planned the wedding, with Mai's consent. Naru was stripped from the rights of anything that has got to do with the wedding. So he spent most of his time playing with Yuki if he's not visiting Mai at the hospital or working.

On the weekends, he always has a meeting with a lawyer who's working with him against René. They were making progress on that subject but they were not sure if she'll spend time in prison with a possibility of someone bailing her out. Her parents were against her as well, seeing that her actions were unjust.

Mai was released from the hospital the week before her wedding. She spent time with Luella and Ayako dress shopping. She didn't want anything fancy, which got Luella down, she also didn't want anything too showy, which got Ayako down. She just wanted something simple. After trying on hundreds of dresses, she finally found THE dress. It was a simple A-line dress with a sweetheart neckline, it has a pink sash on her waist that ties into a bow on the back. Luella thought it was too plain while Ayako thought it was too covered. Mai thought it was perfect. Mai was overpowered by Luella and Ayako when they picked Yuki's dress. They wanted her to wear a ball gown dress with pink accents on it. It was a challenge for them to find a dress like that so they hired someone to make it.

Wedding day…

Mai was in a white limo with Yuki, Ayako, and Luella, she was nervous. She was sweating but not too much. In just a few minutes she's going to marry Naru. "Calm down, Mai" Ayako said.

"It's not that bad" she added.

Luella nodded in agreement with Ayako.

"Easy for you to say… You married Bou-san" she joked.

"Yeah, that is an advantage" Ayako giggled. Luella looked at the time on her phone and saw that it was time. "It's time, Mai-chan!" she said.

They helped Mai out of the limo, Ayako being 8 months pregnant tried to help her out, but it was mostly Luella, who was carrying Yuki.

Naru was facing the altar with Bou-san who was facing the aisle. Martin, Naru's father, was going to escort Mai down the aisle, seeing that nobody else will. "Nervous, Naru?" Bou-san asked. Naru didn't answer but his sweat answered for him. Naru heard Bou-san chuckled and looked at him.

"It's not so bad, Naru" Bou-san advised. They heard the door opened and Naru stiffed.

Mai got so nervous when the door opened, one by one the entourage walked down the aisle. Before Mai knew it, she was walking down with the classic wedding tune on the background. Mai saw Naru with his back faced to her, she noticed how Bou-san was whispering something on to Naru.

Half-way down the aisle, Naru turned to face her. He was mesmerized by her beauty. Even though she lost her hair because of chemo, she still looked beautiful in his eyes. The dress made her look like an angel. Mai noticed Naru smiled, making her feel relaxed. But just before they reached the altar, someone interrupted them.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!" a very familiar voice said.

Mai turned and saw…

"René…" both Naru and Mai whispered.

René walked slowly down the aisle carrying a small purse on her hand. She was wearing a black dress that ends on the middle of her thighs, and a pair of black booties.

"I feel so left out, Noll-chan. I mean my parents got an invitation but I didn't" she started. Naru was still at the altar with Bou-san while Mai was just 10 feet from him with Martin.

"René! Cut this out go back home." René's father shouted from the seat. René just ignored him.

"My, my, don't you look… pretty" she spat out at Mai. She was now a couple of feet away from her and when Martin and Naru made a move to step up, René pulled a revolver out of her purse.

"I'd stay there if I were you" she said as she pointed the gun at Mai.

"Drop it" Naru growled.

"Why should I? I need her out of this world so we can be together, Noll-chan" she told him. She then heard a baby cry and saw Yuki.

"Is that her? Oh my! Why don't you introduced me to her, Noll-chan" she said as she look at Yuki, who was now crying.

"Don't you dare talk to about my daughter" Naru warned.

René shifted the gun, it was now pointing at Yuki. "Don't you dare tell me what I can say or not, Noll. I have the upper hand here so don't even try!" she yelled.

She then accidentally pulled the trigger and hit Yuki.

"Yuki!" Mai screamed. Without a thought, she tried to take the gun from René. Both René's and Mai's hand were the revolver, trying to out power each other. Martin checked Luella and Yuki, and saw that the baby was bleeding. "Call an ambulance now!" Luella said.

Naru watched the seen unfold, he saw Mai struggling with the gun in between them, positioned just above their pelvic bone. He was about to help her when he heard the gun went off again. One of the two girls were shot, but which one?

OMG! Yuki got shot! Is she alright? Another one got shot as well, but who? Is it Mai or René? Review to find out!
