This is for those of you who were not able to realize why I put the song at
the end of chapter sixteen, which, by the way, has been called my best
chapter by a very kind reviewer. Here's the deal. Haku overheard what Knoma
was saying to Chihiro, and as a result, he began to wonder if things like
that would happen when he became attached to Chihiro. Chihiro realized this
when she heard the words to the song, and so her part in the song is
basically reassuring Haku that she will never let anything come between
them. If there was too much crying, I'm sorry, I couldn't help it, that's
just the way that the chapter turned out.
*~*
Now, to answer Keetra's question. Why'd he save Sky? It's all part of his master plot. By saving Sky, he's kind of endeared himself to Jumari, as well as putting him in the position where Sky owns him his life. Rather brilliant, neh? Of course. I'M brilliant. Therefore, the master plots of my characters must be brilliant as well. Still, things may go awry for Knoma. You never know. (hint, hint) But yes, Sky did deserve to die. In fact, he still does. Don't worry, things will work out.

By the way, if you DON'T keep on reading, I'll start to stalk you!

Floor instead of the bed? That's an easy one. THEY WERE TIRED! Too tired to even get onto the bed, which makes it even funnier that they might have considered it a possibility that they were fooling around!
*~*
And I got a fun laugh at your expense! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
LOL!
*~*
YAY! I'm so happy! I finally hit double digits on reviews! Never mind that I only got one new one. (reviewer, that is) Namaste, Sachairi! I hope that you enjoy this chapter, because it's going to go out to you! YAY!
This is a happy day for me. I don't know why, but it is. I have a good family, a good house, lots of food, friends, and reviewers!

It was the next morning. (I know that that's a bad way to start a chapter, but bear with me) Haku and Chihiro made their way to one of the more remote sitting areas that were situated sporadically around the tower with the intention to make some of the plans for the wedding more final. They found a secluded spot, and sat down.
"Now, who are we going to invite?" Haku asked, pulling a sheet of paper from out of his pocket.
"I was thinking of inviting all of our friends from Aburaya, just the close ones, and Zenniba and No-Face." She paused as Haku wrote the names down. "I also was kind of thinking that we could invite my parents, if there's any way of getting them here." Haku stopped writing and started to think. It would take some work to get her parents to the tower, but he supposed that it could be done.
"All right. I'll see what I can do. Who do we want to marry us?"
Chihiro thought about that for a minute. "I'd say probably Zenniba. She's the only one that I can think of."
Haku suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "Why don't we get the arch-mage to do it? I'm sure he wouldn't mind. He does things like this all the time."
"Who's the arch-mage?" Chihiro asked, confusion evident on her face.
"He's the chief of all of the sorcerers that live in the spirit world. It's up to him to decide who can marry who, and whether or not a certain spell should be made illegal. Things like that."
Chihiro though about the idea. After all, she was a sorceress, so the idea made perfect sense. "All right. He can do it."
"Now, we already have a best man, so who's going to be the maid of honor?"
Chihiro didn't even need to think about that for a minute. "Rin," she said with a definite finality about her voice.
"And the bridesmaids?"
"Zenniba and Yubaba." Haku looked at her.
"Sorry, but at one point Yubaba used to be married. How else do you think that she was able to have her child?"
"So, then who are we going to get to be the other bridesmaid?"
"How about Jumari?"
"You know, that's not a bad. . . no. I won't have that witch being one of my bridesmaids. I guess that we'll just have to deal with just having one."
*~*
Meanwhile, upstairs. . .
*~*
Sky awoke to find himself lying on a bed in a darkened room. At his bedside sat Jumari, who seemed relieved to see him get up.
"How are you feeling?"
"Like I got run over by a rampaging kraken." (a/n- it's an inside joke. Our mythology J-term class just finished watching Clash of the Titans)
"Well, that's a rather common feeling for the patient once the healing is finished."
"Who healed me?" He looked around, but didn't see anyone else in the room.
"Knoma. You must have choked on something. I can't think of anything else that would explain why you suddenly started choking like that. It's a good thing that Knoma was there and knows some rudimentary healing, or you wouldn't be here right now."
Sky had a rather skeptical look on his face, which suddenly turned thoughtful. "Yes. A VERY good thing."
Jumari stood up. "I'm going to have to get back to work. I planned on staying here until you were up, but after that I knew that I had to get back to work. I'll have Knoma come in and check on you soon." She walked to the door, then turned, seeming about to say something, then apparently changed her mind. She walked out the door, and Sky collapsed into his bed and began to plot his revenge. He had been made to look stupid in front of HIS girl, and that meant that someone would have to pay.
That someone was going to be Knoma.
Still, there was the matter of him owing his life to the bastard. It wasn't like he could just openly kill him. That would violate his debt, as well as cause Jumari to second think their relationship. No, he had to be discreet. How could he do it? Poison would work. Then there was always the possibility of getting Jumari to think that Knoma was plotting to kill her, and then he could just sit back and allow Jumari to take care of the rest of it. Yes, that was a rather good idea. He would do that, and see where it led.
Now, how to do it. His best idea was to slit his wrists just after Knoma came in to take care of him. Then, all he had to do was wait for Jumari to discover him, and things would progress from there.
*~*
Knoma walked down the hallway to Sky's room. He had with him a bowl of soup and a cup filled with sake. This cup was unusual. The inside of the brim was smeared with a slow acting venom that would kill Sky within forty eight hours of him drinking it.
Yes, all was good with the world.
*~*
Not as good a chapter as my others, but it'll have to do. Now, I have a question that I want to put to the reviewers. I have two ideas where I want this fic to go.
Idea number 1-
At the wedding, an unknown entity crashes it and makes off with Chihiro, forcing Haku to go after her. This idea would cause the fic to continue for a significantly longer time, and might give rise to another story, which would mean that this would become the Torture Trilogy. TT in other words. The focus of the story moves from the dark tower to Haku and Chihiro romance.
Idea number 2-
Haku and Chihiro are married. Sky and Knoma fight each other by way of assassination attempts, and come close to killing each other several times. The last torture that I'm going to have you read about is shown. Something happens to Link. The story ends.
*~*
These are my ideas. Please review and tell me which one you want to see.
