Chapter 36: Wedding, and Babies
Kohaku ran into the room it was early September morning, Ryu had gotten Chihiro and Kohaku up. If she wasn't a normal human baby, she was a normal human two year old, terrible...at least with time.
"Why are you so happy? Was flying that good?" asked Chihiro as Kohaku closed the door grinning ear to ear.
"We got a letter from Asuko and Yoshi!" replied Kohaku.
Chihiro grabbed the letter from Kohaku, "We haven't heard from them in two years, why are you happy something could be wrong."
"With a gold trimmed envelope?" replied Kohaku.
Chihiro quickly opened the letter and read it, "They're getting married! And Ryu will be flower girl, I'll be maid of Honor, and you'll be best man! They want us their this evening the wedding id in two days on the eighth! Isn't she a little to young for flower girl?"
"Well go pack, I'll get Ryu ready," said Kohaku, throwing the backpack at Chihiro, "Ryu! We are going to visit your... Aunt and Uncle!" Ryu came running two Kohaku.
"She has no human clothes Kohaku!" yelled Chihiro.
"Well we don't use ours! We are going to tell Zeniiba, see you outside in ten minutes," replied Kohaku picking up Ryu.
"Yay! Granny!" said Ryu waving her hands. Kohaku picked up the invitation and walked out of the door. Ryu wanted to be let down in the elevator so she could help Kohaku pull the lever. At the top Ryu ran ahead and pushed on Zeniiba's door, with Kohaku's help the door opened.
"Ryu sweetie," said Zeniiba, "up so early?"
"Granny!" said Ryu running into Zeniiba's arms.
"Granny we got invited to Asuko and Yoshi's wedding, they want us to be there today, may we go?"
"How much time does Chihiro owe before she can have a day off, seven years and ten months? And how long since your last visit, two years?" asked Zeniiba.
"Seven years, ten months, and thirteen days, and yes exactly two years," replied Kohaku, thinking Zeniiba would say no.
"Well then you are way over due for a visit, I suggest you see Rinako Naoko, and Mishu-Kapi. Here give this wedding present to Asuko and Yoshi for me please," replied Zeniiba, hand Kohaku a small gift box that appeared out of the air and setting Ryu down on the floor.
Kohaku and Ryu left and quickly walked to the bridge, "Chihiro what are we going to get them for a wedding present?"
"I already got them something, as long as you want to give it to them," replied Chihiro setting down the backpack.
"What?" asked Kohaku.
"Well a few pieces of gold, and I 'bought' this from Kamajii, it's a good luck orb, they can use it as a paper weight or a decoration," said Chihiro presenting the orb.
"Sounds good, Granny is giving them this," added Kohaku handing Chihiro the gift to put in the back pack.
They walked through the streets of Aburaya, While Chihiro repeatedly told Ryu the rules of the human world, "No powers means no swimming or staying under the water for more then five second, five is 1...2...3...4...5, We are human, All of our spirit friends are humans."
It wasn't long till they were walking out of the tunnel and up the path to the Mishu-Kapi river. As they approached the river they could hear a baby crying. Kohaku scooped up Ryu and they ran to the Rinako Naoko forest to see what was wrong.
Rinako Naoko was sitting on the banks of the river holding a baby in her arms and a sleeping dracling lay at her feet. "Hello Rin, Shu! Who are these two?" asked Chihiro running up to Rinako Naoko.
"These are my baby boys this one is Morio, and the dracling is Kawatarou," replied Rinako Naoko with a smile.
(a/n: Morio means Forest Boy and Kawa from Kawatarou means River)
"Your boys!? You were pregnant!?" asked Kohaku.
"Yeah I'm sorry I didn't tell you two but twins are really hard work," replied Rinako Naoko.
Chihiro gave Rinako Naoko a hug, "Well congratulations, I'm sorry I looked shocked I just didn't know a river and a forest spirit could have children. Well obvious I knew spirits could have babies, I mean I'm married to Kohaku, and Yu-Baaba also had Bou."
The river behind them whispered, "And Ryu? Where is she?"
Mishu-Kapi spoke to soon because Ryu was already wading into the water, "Coming to join you," laughed Kohaku.
"No she isn't," said Chihiro picking up Ryu. Chihiro was beginning to wish that Ryu never discovered her underwater breathing ability.
"So what brings you guys here?" asked Rinako Naoko.
"Asuko and Yoshi are getting married," replied Chihiro.
"That's good, you know they are the only humans who can hear Morio and Kawatarou crying," said Rinako Naoko.
Kohaku bent down and picked up Kawatarou, "They where in the Spirit world for a week. And how are you? How are you Kawatarou?"
Ryu squirmed out of Chihiro's arms and tried to sit in Rinako Naoko's lap. Rinako Naoko handed Morio to Chihiro, "Are you my aunt?" asked Ryu.
Rinako Naoko laughed, "Yes I am your aunt Rin, and that river behind you is your uncle Shu, and these two are your cousins Mario and Kawatarou. But shh... don't tell any of the other people around here." Ryu nodded with a smile, then gave Rinako Naoko a hug.
"We should be going," said Kohaku laying down Kawatarou, unstirred from his sleep, "It was nice seeing you two again and nice to meet the two little ones. You two must really be proud."
"We are, and yes good-bye," replied Rinako Naoko standing up and lifting Ryu up and setting her gently on the ground.
"Yes, they are both very handsome. I'm glad you two are finally truly happy, see you four later," said Chihiro.
"We are all happy now, bye," whispered Mishu-Kapi. Kohaku picked up Ryu and they walked into town and into the diner. They sat at the normal table they always sat at and waited for the waitress to come by.
"What would you like?" asked the waitress.
"A glass of milk, and two cokes. And have you seen Asuko Kimari or Yoshi Mato?" asked Chihiro.
"Ok I'll get that order for you, and no I'm sorry haven't seen either of them today," replied the waitress walking away.
A few minutes later the waitress returned with the drinks, Chihiro handed Ryu the milk as she took a sip of her coke. When they were finished with their drinks, Kohaku asked the waitress for the check.
"Chihiro!" said a voice from the door.
"Kohaku!" said another voice.
Chihiro and Kohaku turned around, "Asuko! Yoshi! "Yoshi and Asuko sat down at the table.
"So how are you guys? Long time no see," said Yoshi.
"Yeah well these very good friends of our are getting married, so we just had to come," replied Chihiro.
"Well good, tonight are the bachelor/bachelorette parties, tomorrow morning early are dress and suit fittings, the rehearsal dinner at six, and the wedding the following day at two," replied Asuko.
"Are you two my aunt and uncle?" asked Ryu crawling up on the table.
"Yes, princess I'm uncle Yoshi, and that is Aunt Asuko," replied Yoshi ruffling Ryu's hair. The waitress returned giving Ryu a nasty look, and putting the bill on the table. Kohaku put the $3.80 on the table and they all left.
Kohaku really didn't enjoy the Bachelor party he didn't understand the whole drinking, clubbing, and stripper idea of the party. Chihiro also didn't enjoy the bachelorette party it was just like a slumber party with the exception of the male stripper who was hired by Asuko's friend Kimi and chased away by Asuko, who had pacifically asked for no strippers. So they all went to a dance club instead.
The next morning was stressful for everyone, Chihiro, Kohaku and Ryu had to be fitted for their dresses and suits. Coral colored dresses and black suits, the tailor had a hard time with the fidgeting Ryu. Chihiro's practice dinner dress was dark purple, Ryu's was just a normal purple, with Kohaku in a normal black suit.
"I thought jeans were uncomfortable," was Kohaku's only complaint as they walked into the building. They could tell Ryu agreed, she spent half the night trying to take off the dress. Surprisingly the rehearsal dinner went by quickly, and they all went to bed early.
They woke up early on the morning of the eighth Chihiro and Kohaku were surprised that they had to wake Ryu up. Every one in Asuko's house ate a large breakfast and then began the hours of preparation for the wedding. Dresses and hair and make up took a little longer then it took to get all the men in their eight piece suits.
Asuko and Yoshi were surprisingly getting married on the banks of the Mishu- Kapi river, on the Rinako Naoko side of the river. Asuko had explained that the spirits were nicer on this side then on the other side of the river, and she always wanted to get married on a bridge. This being the pretties bridge on the only river in town. Chihiro and Kohaku thought that the wedding was very fast, but they knew how Asuko and Yoshi felt, that it was an eternity. Kohaku and Chihiro followed by an assemble of brides maids and men stood on the edge of the bridge followed by Ryu, dropping white rose pedals and the ring boy. Finally followed Asuko in her beautiful wedding dress. Asuko and Yoshi were very nervous, but they didn't realize their was nothing to worry about. In reality their eternity was one minute the priest was speaking and the next they were kissing.
The time came for Kohaku's speech, Kohaku stood up and said, "Asuko and Yoshi, they were born to be together and today is the beginning of that happiness and everlasting love. These two were most likely the models for fairytale love, I believe that it wont be that hard for these two to do anything, am I right Mat and Gingko's helper? It's love and is really all that needs to be said."
No one but Asuko and Yoshi (and of course Chihiro and Kohaku), understood or knew who Mat or Gingko were. Asuko and Yoshi just nodded and they clinked their glasses together.
At that moment those at the reception who were sitting closest to the Mishu- Kapi river would swear that the river said, "They're Happy, a real Happily Ever After."
Author's Note: I said it when Kohaku and Chihiro got married (in this story) I don't think I'm good at writing weddings. I also couldn't resist adding in the fairytale stuff, I know I ripped off like every fairytale known.(my second Disclaimer) Well that is it the story is finished, I hope you enjoyed it there will be a sequel just might take me a bit to start it. The sequel will be more about Ryu, and if you want to get technical the sequel of the sequel. Sneak Preview of Sequel: Ryu finds herself in the same predicament as Chihiro did, except in some weird 'underground' work orphanage in the Human world. ( I do hold all rights to this idea so I don't want anyone to steal it) If you enjoyed this chapter or story please tell me, and if you didn't please tell me. And let us all live Happily Ever After.
