The two awoke to rase of sun shining through the window.Yukio woke before his sweet bride.

"A...Aiko wake up! Hurry before someone sees that we slept together..hurry." He touched her tender lips with his to awaken her.

"Wha..what happend? "

"We fell asleep last night. We must get ready, your father will be home soon"

Aiko got up and went to her room and got out her clothing. Little did she know that as she dressed, Yukio watched from a crack in the door, gazing at her naturaly beautiful body.

He whispered to himself...

"My sweet Aiko, how I have craved to be with you since I was a young boy, and now my dreams of being wed to you are coming true"

Aiko finished dressing and put her hair up with flowers matching her mother's wedding gown.

"Mother, how I wish you were here to see this day. Since you are not, I honor you by wearing your wedding dress." Warm tears began to run down her cool cheeks.

Yukio went to General Chou's room and found his best suit that he had brought along on his journey.

As the two finished prepairing themselves for the cerimony, The pounding of horses came down the road in a victorious beat.

"Father!" Aiko rushed down the stairs trying not to ruin her dress.When she reached the last stair,behold such beauty! Perfect decore for a wedding.

"Oh my what beauty has bestoed apon me!"

Lord Chou burst open the door,

"Let the celebration of new life begin, for our troops have defeated Tatsuno!"

"Oh father!" Aiko ran to him as Yukio decended down the stairs.

He stood at the bottom stair and gazed in amazement at his new bride,

"My lady, with such beauty shall we be wed?"

The two lovers walked hand in hand to priest Rye-san.

As the ceremony comenced, the two lovers staired into eachother's eyes. With one kiss, to show the compassion and bonding of this new life, Lady Aiko Chou became Lady Aiko Hiroshi.

"Now tis time for the party!" Lord Chou announced.

Aiko and Yukio seemed to dance for an eternity, embracing one another untill their joyous fun was interupet by theivory. As Yukio leaned over to kiss his sweet wife, the old wooden door swung open and with that, Tatsuno appeared.

"Tatsuno! But you are dead!"

"Mwwwwahhhhahahhaa! You fools, I can not die so easily!"

"Aiko run and hide I don't need you hurt, if you were I don't know what I'd do!"

As Aiko ran to safety, Tatsuno's henchman, Aku swiftly picked her up, holding her mouth so she could not be heard. The men battled, Yukio thinking his cherished possestion was safe fought on.

The fight continured untill the great Tatsuno was defeated for sure.

"Aiko? Aiko where are you!" Yukio rushed around the house looking for his beloved.

"Aiko!!! Please"

He continued his search untill a weak nearly dead searvent spoke to him,

"Y...yyuukkio, Ai--ko wa was ttaken bby A---akkuu"

"Oh no! Where did they go?!"

The searvent did not answer, he only died.
