Disclaimer: Okay first of all if you really want to see the disclaimer I
suggest you go to the first chapter and look at it.
1 Thieves Marriage
"Tai don't die on me." Whispered Sora stroking his damp brown hair. Tai lay unconscious on a cot in a large tent. His wound was wrapped with white cloth that was slowly turning red. Dead and dying soldiers lay on the cots around them and the stench of blood and death filled the air. "Why do they have to be a hero. Hero's never live long enough."
Tai's eyes opened and looked at her. She could tell from his eyes that he was sorry. "Sor…I didn't mean to be a hero. Just wanted our son to have a good place to live." whispered Tai. His voice was ragged and blood slipped out of the side of his mouth.
"Tai don't talk." Said Sora. "Doctor." She yelled out into the tent. A man dressed in blood stained whites ran down the isle. He looked haggard but he kneeled beside Tai and started to pull more bandages out of his bag.
"When did he wake up?" Asked the doctor.
"Just now." The doctor pulled the bandages off of Tai's chest. The wound was only bleeding slightly now and a dark scab was starting to form over it. "It's closing nicely. The only thing we have to worry about is blood loss."
"He'll live." Said Sora hopefully.
"Yes." Said the doctor.
"Thank you." Said Sora jumping up and hugging the doctor.
"I didn't do too much. He pulled through this one on his own. I wish it could be the same for all the people here." The doctor's face clouded over but another scream split the air. "Excuse me." The doctor turned and ran to the person that had screamed.
"Sora go tell Kari I'm all right." Said Tai from the bed. He reached up and Sora grabbed his hand.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm going to last til then and I want to tell her something."
"Okay, be sure to get better because I want you around for the next few years at least."
"And I want to be here." Sora leaned over and kissed Tai on the forehead. She squeezed his hand gently before dropping it and walking out of the tent. Tai settled back down into the hard cot. His chest still hurt but the wounded had changed from searing pains to a dull throb.
Kari hurried over to her brother's cot and kneeled down beside it. Worry clouded over her face, which was still smeared with blood and dirt from the battle. She had given up her weapons and the tiredness on her face showed that she didn't have a scrap of her magi powers left. Tai smiled as he saw T.K. hanging in the background.
"Tai." Worry was evident in Kari's voice.
"I'm going to pull through. I probably won't be riding for a long time but I will live."
"Thank god."
"Kari do you love T.K."
"What?"
"Just humor your older brother."
"Yes, I do. I remember you telling me what it was like when you found out you loved Sora. The breathlessness, the longing, the pain when he is in pain. I just want to be with him. He seems to always know what I am thinking even if we aren't speaking." Tai smiled at the love struck expression on his sister's face. He knew what he had to do. Tai waved T.K. over.
"Yes?" Asked T.K. Tai didn't speak but reached up and grabbed his sister and T.K.'s hands. He placed them together and slipped his wedding ring off. He grabbed T.K.' s other hand and placed the ring inside.
"Since our father has rejected us I am proud to give Kari away to you. Ask her." T.K. turned to Kari and looked into her crimson eyes. Beauty that couldn't be masked even by the blood and dirt on her face shone through. He had wanted to do this for a long time but had been scared.
"Kari." His voice was hesitant.
"Yes?"
"I want to be with you for the rest of your life. When you open your eyes when you are old I want to be the person you see. I want to have kids with you and just be with you. Kari Kamiya will you marry me." Even in the midst of all of the death and blood Tai could see the love between them. Tears glistened in Kari's eyes even though her mouth smiled.
Yes. Oh god yes." Kari fell forwards into T.K.'s arms and he held her. He held one of her hands and slipped the golden band onto her finger.
T.K. stood at the altar in the center of the small town. He was dressed in a silk green shirt with pants to match. His blond hair was controlled the best he could get it and almost paled the sun itself in radiance. Lines of people stood in front of him.
Tai stood beside him. He supported himself with a cane but held himself tall and proud. Sora sat in the front row with a few day old child in her arms. It had brown hair like his father but with the eyes of his mother. Mimi and Matt sat next to each other and golden bands rested on their fingers. Davis sat next to them. He saw T.K. looking and gave him a smile.
Organ music filled the air in the long used wedding march and T.K. turned his head to the end of the isle. Crystal, dressed in a long blue dress, walked arm and arm with Arvis, who was in a red shirt and pants. Yolie followed them, in a long purple dress and Ken in a black shirt and pants.
Ken and Arvis lined themselves next to me and Yolie and Crystal were on the other side. Arvis smiled at me and I smiled back. He pointed back towards the front of the isle and I looked back.
Kari stood at the end of the isle and time seemed to slow for T.K. Kari was wearing a white dress made from shimmer silk that fit her body perfectly. Her head was wreathed with a glowing pink halo of light that set off her rosy skin.
T.K. almost couldn't believe that he was going to marry and angel like this. The marriage seemed to fly by and T.K. barely knew what he was doing, but soon he was holding Kari in his arms and kissing her fiercely so he knew he had to have done something right.
Kari pulled back from him and smiled her great smile. "You look great." Said T.K. smiling back.
"Thanks. This dress took forever to get on though."
"Really how long will it take to get off." T.K. smiled impishly at Kari.
"T.K." Kari was shocked and hit T.K. on the shoulder playfully. "Somethings have to wait til after the reception."
"How long will the reception take."
"Hours."
"Damn, I don't want to wait."
"I promise it will be worth it."
End Note: That was the last chapter. I'll leave you to think about what will happen next though if I get enough reviews I might even think about doing a sequel. (wink wink.) Anyway please read and review because I actually liked the ending.
