Author's Note} This is my little twisted world, that originally started out based on my friend Anjel's fanfics starting with And You Thought It Couldn't Get Any Worse and since she writes much faster than I can read, I gave up on ever trying to finish her series and am making my own twisted world off of it. She knows. She wonders..... But I'm me.
Disclaimer} I don't own and warlords. Or any other Ronin Warriors or YST characters. What ever anime Japanese/American tv companies air them own them, and blah blah blah. Kat still owns Kiri..... Though if you ask her father, Kale would probably say he owned her.... Ami owns herself here I suppose.. I certainly don't own her. ::shrugs:: Julie owns herself, but she isnt online, so I cant link her, oh well. She's my friend IRL. Anywase, on to the story now.
Julie sat on the stool as Ami decorated her short hair with small daisies.
"Are you nervous?" Ami asked as she picked up more flowers.
"Yeah. I'm so, *so* scary. I'm tingling all over inside." Julie replied as she touched her hair gently.
Ami smiled, finishing Julie's hair. "It is scary..." she murmured, remembering her own wedding to Anubis. "But you feel so wonderful after it's over."
"really?"
"Yeah.. Can't say the honeymoon's all that bad either" Ami turned to examine Julie. "You look beautiful."
"Thanks... I hope Dais thinks so.." Julie replied, smiling.
"He will. He always does."
"Why don't you and Kale get married?" Julie asked suddenly.
"Married?" Ami blinked. The thought simple hadn't occurred to her. "Well.. I suppose it's probably because neither of us is really divorced... Anubis and Kat ran off a long time ago together.. And so neither Kale nor I ever really got divorced from them, because it was so sudden.. One day they were there, the next night when I got home from work, Anubis was gone. I called Kale to ask if he'd seen him, and he told me Kat was gone too. We both found notes from them.. and figured out what had happened.."
Julie blinked. "Wow... I'm sorry... I didn't know it was like that.."
"Yeah.. I don't even know how he's doing.. Where he's at, nothing.."
"...You could ask him...."
"How? I dont have a phone number or anything."
"..He's coming to the wedding.. Dais invited him... To be the best man..."
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah... Kat, too..."
"Are you fricken serious!?"
"Ami?" Julie stood from the stool as Ami turned away. She gently touched Ami's shoulder.
"I'll be right back." Ami headed into the bathroom and locked the door behind herself. She stared into the mirror, into her own blue eyes. *Anubis is back.. With Kat..* Her hands subconsciously drifted to her stomach, and her eyes widened. *I'm pregnant. Gods, what's he going to think?*
"Wait! He left me. He's the one that ran away with my best friend. I didnt do a thing wrong.. Gods, what if Kat's pregnant?" Tears formed in Ami's eyes, as she thought about Anubis and Kat having a child together. It pulled at her heart, threatening to cut the very threads that kept her alive.
*You have Kale. And Seth. And the child inside you.* A voice from the back of her mind said.
Ami smiled, despite her tears. It was true. And Kale showed her more compassion then he'd ever shown Kat. Perhaps he was afraid he'd lose Ami, too. But, she still missed Anubis. He had been the man she'd loved, the one she wanted to spend her live with. She'd only gone to Kale because she wanted to help Seth.... They'd gradually gotten closer.. And look at them now....
At least he still loved her. Since Anubis no longer did. She did love him back too, even if Anubis was in town. He'd left. She'd found someone else. Period.
"Ami? You okay in there?" Julie called through the door, with a quiet knock. "You been in there for fifteen minutes..."
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a minute." Ami looked at herself in the mirror, making sure her tears hadn't smeared her eye makeup, then opened the door and walked out, glancing at the clock. One hour. Then Julie would be walking down the home-made aisle in the back yard.
Dais and Julie hadn't wanted the wedding in a chapel. They'd wanted a small ceremony of their friends at their house.
Ami mentally went through the guess she knew would be there. Her and Kale, Kiri and Seth.. Anubis and Kat obviously.. She wondered if Anjel and Kommie would be there.. Then she shook her head. Anjel was dead. It was hard to remember her best friend, the bouncy blonde, so trusting and loving was gone. It hadn't even been her fault. She'd just been driving home from a movie and some drunk driver had hit her car and killed her... But still, it was hard to remember the blonde was gone, even though Ami hadn't spoken to her in nearly 6 years.
Maybe Kommie would be there anyway. Even though he wasn't really that close to any of them except Anjel, he might still come. It'd be really great to see him again. She hadn't seen him since Anjel's funeral. And it definitely hadn't been a happy get-together.
Maybe he'd bring Renfield... Kodoku...
Would Kodoku even *want* to come? The only thing that might draw him was the Kiri was going to be there...
Ami blinked. That was something she'd yet to think about. Kodoku had always had a crush on Kiri. And Sekmekt wasn't alive anymore. "Gods in pink feathers, this is going to be an interesting, if not disastrous, wedding." Ami thought.
