Ch. 14: You Are the One
*Next chapter's the big wedding, so you know what this one's going to be, bachelor party! Once again I use a song in this one (I love music) "You Are the One" by a death metal group from Finland, Sentenced. *
The distinct smell of a freshly baked cake filled the air of Kane's home. He was drawn to the aroma, and drifted near its source. He saw it from the doorway, a triple tiered chocolate cake, yet to be frosted. When he got close enough to touch it, he felt a hard slap upside his head.
"Not till tomorrow," Sarah said in a stern voice. She picked up a spatula and smeared the virgin white frosting all over the ebony cake. It almost gleamed as she painted on the blue frosting along the edges. Kane stood, transfixed, with a dopey grin on his face. Carefully, she placed the cake in a large freezer.
"Just let that chill overnight, and it's done," she said quietly to herself. She turned around, and jumped when she saw Kane. "You're still there?" she gasped.
"You have something on your nose, he said, dabbing his hand in some frosting and smearing it on her face. She giggled, and did the same to him, then licked the frosting off of him. He stripped Sarah of her shirt, and smeared the cool frosting on her warm breasts. She giggled as his tongue lapped up the frosting.
"That tickles," she said. Kane slid his mouth over hers, and the taste of frosting entered both. His hand traveled down, unzipping her pants and sliding inside. "Oh Kane.." she breathlessly whispered as his fingers moved inside. Her sighs filled the house, cumulating with a scream, Sarah arching her back and crying his name.
She smiled at him. He pulled his hand out, and kissed her again. As he began to slide his pants off, the doorbell rang. Kane quickly zipped his pants, as Sarah frantically put her shirt on. Kane went to the door. In front of him stood an older man, as tall as Kane, with grayed blonde hair. In the car behind he could see a blonde woman waiting for him.
"Is this where Uriko and Kenji's wedding is?" he asked.
"Yeah, They're out back at the guest house."
"You must be Kane, I've heard some good things about you." The man said holding out his hand.
"And your Gado, right? It's a honor." They shook hands, and then Gado turned to leave. He was halfway do to his car when he turned back around. "You might want to tell your girlfriend that next time she goes to answer the door, zip her fly first. Sheesh, you'd think you were the two getting married."
Sarah turned red with embarrassment.
Yugo rushed out to greet his old friend, Long followed slowly behind. He shook Gado's hand with a firm grip. "I'm glad you and Jenny made it, but where's Shina?"
"I'm glad we could make it. Spinal be here later, she said she had to visit some friends while she was in town," Gado replied. Long arrived, and nodded at the old lion.
"There's a slight change of plans. Long's staying with Kenji and Uriko, so your gonna use our spare room."
"I'll just get a hotel," Gado said, "With you two I'll never get any sleep."
"You'd get more than I have," Long said with a smirk.
Gado looked at him in surprise, "Kenji and Uriko getting married, and long cracking jokes? Man, I am getting old," he said headed towards the car.
Kenji looked nervously as Kane, Yugo, Long, and Gado climbed out of his car. "I'm not so sure about this." He said in a nervous sigh.
"C'mon, Kenji, your supposed to go and get plastered the night before your wedding." Yugo reassured him. Don't worry, Uriko's probably out doing the same thing with Alice and Sarah. Besides, it's not like it a strip joint.." They all looked over at him. "Hey, how was I supposed to know they were going to close down?"
They walked into the bar, and sat down. Yugo waved to the bartender. "Hey, Mark, Kenji here's getting hitched tomorrow, you know what that means."
The bartender sent four beers their way. "What does it mean?" Kenji asked with a sense of apprehension.
"You drink half price, that's all." Yugo laughed. Kenji looked down. "Um, I think I'll pass, one of us needs to drive home. "
"Nope," Kane said, "we drew lots earlier to pick a designated driver. I lost."
Kenji grunted in frustration, and took a sip. The golden liquid slid down his throat, leaving a bitter aftertaste. He drank lightly, while Gado and Yugo pounded them back. Long drank his sake at a fair pace, he was fairly drunk but not nearly as bad as those two, while Kane had drank Kenji's body weight in Pepsi. He was somewhat hyper, but otherwise fine.
Then the bartender brought out a karaoke machine. Gado and Long went first, with a very off key performance of "The Devil Went Down to Georgia". Kenji breathed a sigh of relief when they were done. They were so bad he swore he could feel his ears bleed. Long stepped up, at Yugo's constant insistence. His performance of Creed's "Young Grow Old" wasn't bad, albeit slightly slurred. Kane went up next.
"That'll be a hard act to follow, but I'll try my best. This one's dedicated to my friend Kenji Ohgami; he's over there next to the old guy and the boxer. He's getting married tomorrow to a great girl, Uriko Nonomura. Let's give him a big hand! Yeah, this one's one of my favorites, 'You Are the One' by Sentenced." He picked a guitar off the ground, and began playing.
"You're the light at the end of the tunnel The beacon fire in the dark The glimmer of hope and truly the meaning of my life
I say this with all my heart"
Kenji looked up at Kane. Him and Uriko were lucky to have a friend like Kane. He was always there for them, supporting them. If it wasn't for Kane, Kenji might not have even proposed to Uriko in the first place. Then he thought about her even more. She was everything to him.
"You are the only one for me Year to year, in words and deed In all this chaos the trace of clarity You are the only one I see My first and last, my all and everything You are the One.
When dusk falls and obscures the sky You're the shine of the Northern Star No dead of night cane fade the brilliance of your light"
I say this, holder of my heart"
The music had almost a sobering effect on Gado and Yugo, as they sat transfixed by words. Yugo thought about Alice, his new wife, and how fortunate he was to have her. Gado thought about Jenny. Funny meeting your wife so late in life, but that's the way life is sometimes.
"You are the only one for me Year to year, in words and deed In all this chaos the trace of clarity You are the only one I see My first and last, my all and everything You are the One."
Those words touched Long in a different way He thought about all that they had, and what he didn't. A tear escape his eye, and he looked down at his sake. One young woman stood out in his mind, but he only had seen her once, he didn't even know where she was.
"You are the only one In the heart of winter the comfort of the sun You are the One, my love you are the One"
The crowd was silent for a moment, and then erupted into applause. Kane stepped down, and walked over to his friends. "It's about time we left," he said, it's getting late."
Kenji walked into his bedroom, and saw Uriko sleeping. He bent down and kissed her cheek, She awoke as Kenji lay down, and she snuggled into his arms. "What was that for, honey?" she said adoringly.
"For being the One," Kenji replied with a smile.
