A Piece of Tomorrow

If the skies opened up for me,
And the mountains disappeared,
If the seas run dry,
Turn to dust,
And the sun refused to rise,
I would still find my way,
By the light,
I see in your eyes,
The world I know,
Fades away,
But you stay
--Coco Lee, A Love Before Time
Fuuko POV.
"Did I sound ok?"
Mi-Chan looked at me, silently nodding his head before glancing back out the window. I cringed, before lightly touching his hand. He wasn't even looking at me! I bet in his head, rapid thoughts of regret were beginning to rise. Kami-Sama, I ruined our wedding!
I caught the sudden girlish sob in my throat, and swallowed the bitter emotion back into my stomach.
I scooted over, moving from the warm essence of my life and love. The limo moved swiftly through the summer day, appearing to drive through the air instead of the street. The inside smelt like leather, roses and lilac mixed in one and made me very sleepy.
Yawning, I let my head drop to the window and sighed as the cool glass tingled on my face. I was so happy, yet confused by the weird behavior my husband was showing ever since we entered the limo. He wasn't talking, holding me or even looking close to my direction. He looked happy when I told him my vows, but I was beginning to wonder if it all was a charade to make me happy.
My breath cascaded on the clear glass, leaving a mist lying gently on the surface. It grew bigger, with every outtake of breath, but slowly began to die until a knew warm carbon dioxide touched it with it's invisible fingers. Why was I even caring about this, was beyond my knowledge at the moment. I just wanted to go and be forever in Tokiya's arms.
"Mi-Chan, what's wrong?"
I tried so damn hard to make my voice strong, to sound like I knew he was all right. I didn't want to sound scared, to be so uncertain and pathetic. I held my breath, as his eyes slowly withdrew from the window and looked at me steadily.
"Why did you move away?" He asked me, looking at the space vacated between us. I moved closer, slowly and not leaving the eye contact we held.
"Listen, I know I sounded stupid and everything...but I'll show you what I wrote down on the paper. My vows were so perfect, and what I said on the alta-"
His lips cut off the rest of my mindless babble, and his hand touched my bare shoulder lightly. I gasped, closing my eyes to the sudden touchiness Tokiya was using on me. His lips let themselves travel to the nape of my neck, touching the delicate skin with softer silky lips. Gasping, I grabbed the collar of his tuxedo, letting the material ripple in my palms.
"You think," He began, kissing my lips quickly, "I care about the way you told me I loved you?"
I muttered something, inaudible and muffled.
"I wouldn't care less, If you lost your voice on our wedding day and wasn't able to tell me with words you love me. I could see it in your beautiful eyes, my darling Fuuko," He whispered so softly in my ear, I could barely hear his sweet voice.
"I love you so much..." I threw at him, before pouncing and dropping as many kisses as I could on his face. I didn't deserve this...this perfect man! I couldn't believe he would give me a chance to date him, let alone spend the rest of my life in his love and care! Could this be all some wonderful dream, and when I awoke he'd call me monkey again? Constantly tell me how horrible and stupid I was still am? I guess I always started our small quarrels, but I always meant them as a joke.
"I love you, I love you, I love you..." I babbled between kissing his mouth, neck and face, "Kami-Sama, he doesn't even know how much I love you! With everything I am and am not! I love you with more then I can give, and I pray to Kami-Sama, I can give you all that one day!"
He laughed, making me want to blow up, because I was so happy! I couldn't explain, couldn't begin to tell with words just how happy and joyful I was. This was the world to me, he was the world, universe...everything to me. If he ever left me, I would melt, turn to dust and forever disappear with the wind. He was more apart of me, then my own soul.
"Please, don't ever leave me...ever..." I begged him, closing my eyes and holding my loved one within my own arms. Never, ever, ever leave me and my life.
"Never, will I run from such a beautiful soul. Such a wonderful heart and body. If I ever leave, I would die without you. Until death do us part, and even after that, I will never be far from your side, understand?"
I nodded my head, "Why were you so distant a few minutes ago?"
He looked startled, before replying, "The last time I was in a limo, was when nii-chan died. Sort of triggered memories, the few I hated to remember."
I let my head drop deeper into his embrace, hugging my love with my arms. He cradled my hand, and played gently with my flower-arranged hair. So, that was why he looked so sad? It made logic sense, and knowing myself, I jumped into a whole wacko conclusion about him regretting our marriage! Smooth, Fuuko! Smooth...
"I remember, it was a sunny day when she died. Something like today?" He stopped, running the hand that occupied my hair, through his own.
"It was all so surreal, like a fuzzy dream I was hoping to wake up from. I thought it would all end, and I begged so many to pinch me just once! They just looked at me, pity and sympathy in their eyes. I hated that, hated being pitied and looked at like I was some helpless baby!" His voice held bitterness and he cursed to whatever fate took his sister away.
"I would have loved to meet her, Mi-Chan..." I smiled, though it wavered with a sadness and longing I wanted to be gone. It wasn't fair, that such a fine person would have to deal with a tragedy that haunted your every thought. If only I could make it better, ease whatever troubles he had within the well-built walls of his heart.
He looked sadly in my eyes, tracing the outline of my jaw and chin, "She would have thought you perfect for me, she would have loved you like a sister..."
"I don't want to be hurt on my wedding night, don't want to be haunted by those images of not having her with me. I have you now, and you make up for her and so much more. You give me something she couldn't, that love only a soul mate can have. I don't want you to think I look at you, and compare you to her...because I don't. I can't. You're so different, so a part of me, that I wouldn't trade anything for you. Not even nii-chan, and forgive me for saying that." He stopped, gathering his hand back into my hair, and relaxing like a boulder was lifted off his body.
"I want you to be happy, Tokiya...I'm promising you all my love at this moment! Remember, you can always tell me and give me your troubles," I sighed, smiling so gently and lovingly at him, and hoping he would take my words to heart.
"Thank you," He told me, "That promise will be accepted in my heart, with everything I am. It means to me, so much..."
I felt the limo stop, and looked outside, where the sun shined with the joy I felt the moment I fell in love with the man with me.
"Mr. and Mrs. Mikigami, we have reached the hall in which you reception is to be taken place. Are you ready to go?" the driver asked, looking at as from the front mirror. I quickly grinned, and nodded a silent yes. We were ready.
Ready for this party, ready for the rest of our lives and whatever comes after that.
To Be Continued!

This is a short chapter, I know! Don't kill me, flame me or whatev! I have a really, really bad headache and my eyes are so sore from crying (I watched Step Mom! God, what a beautiful movie!). I hope this is ok, since I should have waited till I felt better and could think more clearly, before writing this chapter. Mi-Chan and Fuuko are very out of character, but I do hope they act remotely close to this on their wedding day! We can't have a fridge boy and wacko monkey around, can we? ^^; Please, R&R! It means a bunch, and I'd like to thank all the faithful readers and reviewers! You guys RULE! :)
All rights and ownership of the characters used in my story belong to creators of FoR! Don't sue! Also, the song quoted isn't mine! It's by Coco Lee (great song, from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon)!
Remember to R&R!! Mikigami and Fuuko 4-ever! Buh-Bye!
