Hey! ^_^ Thanks so much for reading this story! It's been a blast writing it and reading your reviews! So enough of my ranting! Here is the last and final chapter of Enemies in Love!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A few months had passed since Sora and the imposter BK-201 were defeated. During those months, Misaki was her usual workaholic self, but the arrangements for her upcoming wedding with Hei were becoming the death of her. Of course she wanted to marry him, but everything that involved the wedding was stressing her out. Luckily, Kanami and her new friend Amber decided to take up most of the wedding preparations on their own.
Picking out a wedding dress was another story. Kanami had tried countless times on getting Misaki to choose some sensual looking dresses. She kept saying Hei would have a hard time maintaining control and not devouring her during the ceremony. Thankfully Amber convinced Kanami on allowing Misaki to pick out a more appropriate dress that was to her liking. So, Misaki ended up buying the traditional long wedding dress and veil to match.
Time continued to pass by and before Misaki knew it the day of the wedding had finally arrived. Nervous and excited, she looked at herself in the mirror already dressed up. Her hair was up in a bun as two strands of hair fell at the sides of her face. Kanami, who was wearing a long light pink strapless dress, was helping her put the veil. Amber, who was wearing a long one strap red dress, was putting the finishing touches of make-up on Misaki.
"You look so beautiful Misaki! I thought I'd never see the day!" Kanami cheered as she finished putting the veil on Misaki's head.
"Hei's going to be speechless when he sees you," Amber said.
"I think everyone's going to be speechless," Misaki replied with a slight laugh.
A knock was heard at the door. Kanami walked over and opened it. In the doorway stood November 11. He was wearing an elegant white tuxedo with dress shoes to match. "Are you ladies ready to get going? The limo's already outside."
"You're looking mighty handsome in that tuxedo, November," Kanami said.
"You, Amber and the bride are looking mighty beautiful too."
"You mean the maid of honor, the bridesmaid and the bride," Kanami corrected with a grin. November couldn't help but grin back. He looked over at Misaki and whistled.
"You make a beautiful bride Miss Kirihara."
"Alright, enough with the flirting, we need to get going!" Kanami said as she ran over to Misaki and grabbed her arm. "Let's go! We don't want Hei to think you're standing him up!" Kanami dragged Misaki out the room with her. Amber giggled a little and made her way up to November 11.
"We should get going too. I don't want to miss my chance of riding in a limo."
November grabbed onto Amber's hand and pulled her close. "You'll get to ride in one again when we get married."
"November, we just started dating three months ago!"
"And, what's the problem? We know each other from the past."
"I thought you wanted to arrest me and Hei."
"I changed my mind. Miss Kirihara and Hei deserve to be happy. You do too. So just like them, we'll change the rules of fate." November leaned in to gently kiss Amber on the lips. He leaned away and smiled while Amber looked into his blue eyes.
They were snapped out of their moment when they heard a car horn and Kanami yelling from outside. They both laughed and made their way out of Misaki's apartment.

"You clean up pretty well Huang."
Mao was sitting next to Yin in the first row of chairs. Yin was wearing a knee length spaghetti strapped indigo blue dress and black flats while Mao had on a bow tie. The wedding was going to take place in Mr. Kirihara's backyard. It was occupied with two rows of chairs on both sides of the aisle, flowers, and a white chapel arch.
Mao was marveling at Huang who was standing in a black and white tuxedo next to the groom. Hei had chosen Huang to be his best man and Mao could have sworn he saw tears in the old man's eyes.
"Of course I clean up well! I'm a good looking man!"
Hei ignored the two and walked over to Saitou and Kono who were sitting on the other side. They were both wearing black and white tuxedos. Saitou looked up to Hei and smiled. "Are you nervous?"
"I wouldn't say nervous. I'd say happy."
"Congratulations. Chief Kirihara seems really happy having you by her side," Kono said. He then sighed to himself. "It seems like everyone has someone except for me and Huang over there."
"I heard that!" Huang yelled from the other side.
"Don't rush it Kono. Eventually, you'll find a nice girl," Saitou replied in a reassuring voice.
"How are things with you and Kanami?" Hei asked. He knew the two started dating a month after the whole incident with Sora and the imposter BK-201, but he didn't know any of the details. In a way, Saitou and the rest had become friends; something he never thought would be possible in the beginning.
Saitou blushed a little and averted his gaze. "Uh, well you see, we're doing great."
"More like they're hot and heavy. Once they're alone, it gets wild," Kono said with a smirk. Saitou's eyes went wide.
"Kono!"
"What? It's the truth. It shows how much closer you two have gotten."
"He's right on that," Hei added.
Saitou smiled nervously and decided to change the subject to save himself from more embarrassment. "So where are you planning to take Chief Kirihara on your honeymoon?"
"Mr. Kirihara paid for us to stay two weeks in a really nice resort. He thought it would be good for Misaki to get away from work for a while."
"It's going to be weird not having her around for that long," Kono said.
"It's also going to be hard for her, but she couldn't decline her dad's gracious wedding gift. Which means I'll have her all to myself," Hei said with a smirk. At that moment, Kanami, Amber and November 11 walked into the backyard.
"Misaki's here! Let's start the wedding!" Kanami cheerfully yelled as she made her way up to the front. November 11 went to stand next to April in the second row of chairs. Amber walked over to stand next to Kanami. Hei walked to the front and stood next to the priest. The orchestra Mr. Kirihara had hired started to play music as Mr. Kirihara and Misaki appeared walking.
Hei could see Misaki's face behind the white veil and it made his heart jump inside his chest. She looked beautiful and soon she would be his wife. Mr. Kirihara and Misaki finally made it to Hei. The father and daughter exchanged hugs before he gave her hand to Hei. The couple smiled at one another and turned to face the priest.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in holy matrimony to bring together Misaki Kirihara and Hei under the witness of family, friends and God. I will now allow the two of you to say your vows to one another."
Hei held onto Misaki's hands tighter and looked directly into her eyes. "Misaki, you brought love and happiness back into my life when I was lost. You sparked up emotions in me that I thought I had once abandoned. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be the man I am today." Hei grabbed a ring from the priest and started to place it on Misaki's finger. "With this ring, I show my love and affection for you. I'll be there with you through thick and thin, through sickness and in health, until death do us part."
Misaki smiled. "Hei, you were an unexpected person that I never planned to fall into my life. You showed me that I could fall in love with someone and have him fall in love with me for who I am. You accepted me as a cop and as a woman. We've had the wildest adventures and a strange relationship, but in the end, they brought us closer." Misaki grabbed the other ring from the priest and started to place it on Hei's finger. "I'll always be there for you through thick and thin, through sickness and in health, until death do us part."
"Misaki Kirihara and Hei, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Hei gently lifted up the white veil and placed it over Misaki's head. He then leaned down and gently kissed her. Everyone applauded at the newly married couple. Huang couldn't help but look away with tears starting to form in his eyes. Hei leaned away from Misaki and smiled.
"Congratulations you two," Mr. Kirihara said with a big smile on his face. Hei grabbed onto Misaki's hand and began to walk down the aisle with his wife. Everyone continued to applaud as they slowly left.

"I want to give a toast to the new married couple!" Kanami yelled as she put up her glass. Everyone did the same as they were all at the reception. Kanami had booked a very nice location to host the celebration and made sure that food and music were available. Misaki and Hei sat together as they watched their friends and family moving onto the dance floor and having a good time.
"I'm afraid to see how energetic Kanami will be at her own wedding," Misaki said while eyeing her friend and Saitou dancing.
"I wish Saitou the best of luck. She caught the bouquet so they're next."
"Hei!"
Hei laughed. He grabbed onto Misaki's hand and kissed it. Misaki blushed. Hei looked at her and smiled. "Should we join them and go dance?"
"Yes, lets."
The two stood up hand in hand and made their way onto the dance floor.

Night had fallen and the celebration had finally come to an end. Hei carried Misaki into their hotel suite and gently put her down on her feet. He walked over to close the door and turn off the lights, leaving the two in the dim room. Misaki looked over at the bed that was covered in red rose petals and smiled.
"Do you like it?" Hei asked as he approached her.
"I love it," Misaki replied as she looked at Hei.
"I love you Misaki Kirihara."
"I love you too Hei."
Hei and Misaki leaned in and pressed their lips against each others. Hei slowly moved his hands to the back of Misaki's dress and unzipped it. The dress fell to the floor while the two continued kissing. Hei gently picked Misaki up and led her to the bed. Hei broke the kiss and started to remove his jacket and shirt. Misaki watched as he started to reveal his toned and muscular upper body. She was a bit nervous about finally giving herself to Hei. At the same time she felt happy and overjoyed to be with the man she loved.
Hei gently placed his hand on the side of her face. "You look nervous."
"D-Do I?"
"I can easily tell Misaki."
"I'm killing the mood, aren't I?"
"No. I just want to make sure you're comfortable. We can take it as slow as you want."
"Are you sure?"
Hei smiled and leaned down to kiss his wife. "Positive."
Misaki smiled back and wrapped her arms around Hei's neck. They kissed again until their kisses became more passionate. The touches, the sensations, the feeling of skin on skin made them give into their desires and their love. Hei kept Misaki wanting more as they gradually became one and savored it together. That night they couldn't let go the other. The hours were spent repeatedly expressing their love until finally they fell asleep in each other's arms.

Four Months Later…
"Hei! I'm pregnant! Oh no! This isn't good! How am I going to work now?"
"Misaki, calm down. Isn't being pregnant with my child supposed to make you happy?"
"I am happy! But do you know what will happen once everyone I know finds out?! I'll have to take maternity leave and stay away from work once my stomach gets too big!"
"Well you do need the rest. I wouldn't want you running around chasing criminals with a big belly."
"Hei…"
Hei leaned over and kissed Misaki. He then placed his hand on Misaki's stomach and smiled. "We work fast don't we?" Misaki blushed as Hei looked at her. She was going to have a child with her husband. The image of Hei holding their baby made her smile.
"What is it?" Hei asked.
"I just imagined you holding our baby."
"I'm going to love him or her as much as I love you," Hei replied as he embraced Misaki and pulled her close.
"We're going to need more money to support a kid you know."
"It's hard to balance a stable job with undercover work Misaki. But if you want, I can accept that job I was offered at a hostess club."
"Don't you dare…"
Hei smirked and leaned his face closer to Misaki's. "You know I'm only kidding. The only woman I want is you."
"Good comeback."
Misaki moved in and kissed Hei who kissed her back. They were going to start a family. There were so many things they would have to do before the baby was born. Hei was still working for the Syndicate. They didn't dare hurt Misaki all thanks to Hei knowing where he hid the gem that they desired. They had friends and family who cared about them and their well-being. Everything had slowly fallen into place and the future was theirs for the taking.
