Chapter 18
---------------------
Ami was awakened at 6:30 sharp by her other, who's face was a mix of joy and worry.
"It's my wedding day, Ami!" Ami smiled at her. Her mother leaned on closer and whispered in her ear something.
"Will there be any, ahem, fighting today," she whispered. Ami smiled re-assuringly at her, although she knew it was to no point. She decided that she would do everything in her power to keep her mother happy on her wedding day, even if it meant lying again.
"No, no worries for today mom," she answered.
"What about those two young men though," she whispered back.
"No worries mom, infact one of them is coming to the wedding. He was truly good, and so I healed him," Ami told her. Her mother smiled.
"Perfect, now get dressed and come have breakfast, i'll go tell the better news to James!" She smiled and walked out. The last part technically wasn't a lie. She had simply decided to leave out that a blood thirsty Noko was unhealed and looking for some blood to spill that day. Koto would help them, she was sure. Nothing would ruin her mother's perfect day, Ami intended to make sure.
Nothing.
-----------------
Ami was dressed in a pair of jeans and any t-shirt, quickly combing her hair and heading owards the kitchen. She wouldn't waste her time on dressing too nicely now, since she would be n her dress in a few hours. Someone rang the doorbell, and Ami crossed through the kitchen, wishing everyone a good morning and heading for the door.
She opened it, only to be crushed in a big hug by whoever was at the door.
"Birdie?" After realizing whom it was, Ami returned the hug.
She stepped back and ushered them in. Birdie, Prisma, Catsie, and Avery stood in front of her, grinning widely.
"It's been so long! How have you al been? How's the bussiness," she asked, smiling.
"Oh, bussiness is great Ami. And we've all been good. But we'd love to know what's been up with you. Last night, Usagi gave us a call, and you came up in the conversation. We didn't even know you've been back, or else we would have visited sooner," Avery paused from what she was saying and leaned in closer, lowering her voice from prying ears in the kitchen.
"We heard about what happened." Ami nodded slowly, thinking back to her battle with Julliana.
(Sorry to interrupt, but if you are confused as to what the characters are or have been referring to through the story, please read, 'A Trusting Heart', this is the sequal.)
"So, I hear your mother's getting married," Catsie said, changing the subject.
"Yes, congratulate her for us," Prisma said.
"Oh no, I'm sorry. I have your invitations in my room- it, it's been so hectic, I completely forgot," Ami said, turning to snag the invitations quickly.
"Don't worry about it, but are you sure you'll have the room their for us? We don't want to intrude on your mother's special day," Birdie said. Ami shook her head.
"My mother set aside two tables for my friends. It'll be you four, Usagi, Mamoru, Minako, Makoto, Rei, Setsuna, Hotaru, Haruka, Michiru, Rini, Heero, Duo, Trowa, Wufei, Andrew, Rita, Liz, Koto (she lowered her voice at his name)and, well there will be two other spots for two people I hope will come," she added the last as and after-thought.
"Oh, I hope those two people are us," a voice from the open doorway said. Ami turned to see Greg and Julliana together there, hand in hand, smiling.
"I was hoping that as well. That is-," Ami paused, looking at Julliana, "If you wouldn't feel uncomfortable coming. My friends will behave themselves, I'm sure. They just have to get used to the idea of you being around and that you're a good person. They got used to these four," she said, ushering at the sisters. Julliana paused a moment. She turned to look at Greg. One look at him, and she thought of David. True it was, that David's eyes were green, and Greg's brown, but everything else was exactly the same. Except for the way he acted. David had been slightly rougher around the edges.
"Even- even the pilots. Even Duo," asked Julliana. Julliana had poisoned Duo, nearly killing him, and had nearly killed Ami to an even closer extent. She had put them through a lot of unnecesary pain, apsolute hell, and had even gone as far as to show them the Mercury kingdom fall, and the people on the planet die. Julliana felt truly sorry, but didn't think that they could ever forgive her.
"The thing about Duo is, Julliana, that even if he holds a grudge, he won't hold it long. Life is too short for him o waste time hating anybody right now. Talk to him, and you'll see. As for the other four, they'll warm up to you eventually. But how can they is they don't see you?"
Julliana nodded, Ami's words making her feel better.
"Alright then, I'll come," she said. Suddenly, Julliana and the four sisters looked panicked.
"WHAT WILL WE WEAR!" They all shouted and ran out the door, Greg following and shaking his head pathetically. 'Why me?'
Ami called goodbye after them and closed the door. When she turned, everyone was staring at her.
"What?" Everyone was still silent, and Ami shrugged. She grabbed her communicater, putting it on her wrist, and put on her ring. She stuffed her wallet in her purse and walked into the kitchen. Grabbing a piece of toast, she turned to everyone.
"I've got a few things to do this morning, I'll be back in an hour or two." Her mother and James automatically looked alarmed.
"Now Ami, you told me earlier that you-," Aiko was cut off as she eyes Ami's communicater, aware of what it did.
"I always wear this mom. Anyways, it's fine. I just have to see someone. No worries, today is your day. Enjoy it. It's really not what you're thinking," Ami waved and opened up the front door and left, munching on her toast. The room was silent a while before Anna muttered something about teenagers.
"So, Aiko, wanna go try on your dress," Lisa asked teasingly, stirring up a smile from Aiko. Well- yoi can't! I haven't picked it up yet!" Lisa burst into laughter, banging on the table as she did so. Everyone stared. Joseph blinked.
"Heh, just trying to lighten the mood," she said. giving a smile.
-----------
Truth being told, Ami did have to stop at the temple at 8:00. To see Koto. She checked her watch. 7:00. She would just leave an hour for herself to relax alone outside of home. She hadn't done that in SO long. Possibly months, since before she had left for the summer.
She sat down on a park bench and leaned back, letting the light wind ruffle her hr. She losed her eyes and just sat there, letting the sun tickle her skin with it's early rays of light. At about 7:45, Ami got up and headed to the temple.
When she arrived, Koto sat with Rei in the main living room. He fiddled with an empty little cup of tea, and Rei kept looking from side to side as if something was gonna jump out at her any moment from now.
She opened the door and they both visibly relaxed. koto was in his civilian look, and Ami suspected that since he was healed, he would never look like the monster he earlier had. His hair he had changed to blond tied back in a low, short pony tail, and his eyes were brown. Ami had to admit he looked cute like this.
"Goodmorning everyone. How are you all doing? Koto, I like the look much better now." Koto smiled, but then his looked turned to one of remembrance.
"Koto is not a name I prefer to go by anymore. It is Kaden. The name was given to me by a human years ago, but when I joined forces with my brother once again, the name as forgotten." Ami and Rei both smiled at this.
"Alright Kaden, that's wonderful. Now, you know what to do, right? Just arrive with the four sisters I mentioned to Rei the other day. They'll show you your seat at the reception, since the actual ceremony will be far too packed, and you'll be far too tired. So come around 6:30, that's when the reception begins. Are you alright with that?"
"Yes, that's perfect. Even- far more than I deserve," he said. Rei glared at him.
"Don't say that, you're way better than your brother! Had you not interfered with those notes, Ami would have been dead long ago and we would have all been killed last night! You're a good person, and you have to start believing it," Rei scolded. Kaden smiled.
"Thankyou. You don't know how much those words meant to me."
------------------
Noko fumed as he wandered around his hideaway. It was a small space ship, floating far away enough so that the earth's gravitational pull didn't affect it.
"Stupid Koto! Stupid BROTHER," he shouted in a rage, smashing his fist against a statue, which shattered immediately. he took a breath to steady himself.
Just because Koto was a fool didn't mean he should forget his mission. he owuld take Mercury's essence, which would ensure a painful death for her, and then, he would kill his brother.
-------------------
Ami arrived home at 9:00, after some more conversation with Noko and Rei. Her mother smiled as she entered. Her daughter didn't look tired, but more at ease even than before she left. She looked happy.
"So the ceremony is at..." Ami let her voice trail off.
"4:00. Then we'll hang around the church for a bit (pictures and talk), then a half hour drive to the hall. The guests will be there and be seated at 6:00, and the bride, maid of honor, groom, best man, escort of the maid of honor, the parenst of the bride and groom, and the bride's maids and flower girls will enter the hall by introduction at 6:30." Ami nodded as she listene dto her mother exlain. When the women began to get ready, the men all left to prepare as well. They got the tuxedo's ready, the limo, the rings, etc.
Ami and the women went to a salon. Ami had her hair have two barrettes on each side of her head, and anything past the barrettes was curled. It looked really cute. Not too many poofy curls, just a few locks here and there to make it look full of life.
Her mother, who's hair was shoulder length, had it pulled back half way and curled a bit, plus a ton of hairspray to make sure it stayed the same that day no matter what happened. Lisa had her hair done up, and her grandmother and Anna each had their hair blowed dryed and put into very simple styles.
They headed back to the apartment and got dressed, a small arguement taking place about shoes. Finally, Ami put on the dress she had bought, the pale blue one with the double straps and the criscross on the back. They were meeting everyone part of the ceremony at the church at 3:00.
"Let's go Ami! Your mom will arrive in the limo at 4:00," Llisa said, taking her hand. Kevin drove them to the church. They waited in the hall, and when a lot of people began to show up, they moved to a back room. Rini and Hotaru were given their flower girl baskets. With their dresses on and the matching baskets, they look adorable.
The brides maids arrived, each holding some lillies in their hands and ready to go down the isle, by two's. Damion, her uncle, would give Aiko away, and Kevin, out of politeness, would walk Aileen down the isle until she sat in the front row. Quatre would walk Ami down the isle and then sit down next to aileen and the rest of the guys.
The pews filled up fast, and James walked down the isle and stood up in the front. When Damion and Kevin came down the isle, they would join him at the front, Kevin his best man, and Damion part of the ceremony.
Joseph looked excited to say the least in his little Tuxedo. On a small pillow he held the rings, and everyone told him to calm down so he wouldn't drop them.
The organ player began to play. Everyone in the pews stood up respoectfully, and looked expectantly at the open door. James looked nervous, but very happy. First entered Jospeh, although it was not the grand entrance that had been expected.
He was so excited, he skipped down the isle. Rini and hotaru followed, tossing flower petals on the red carpet. Them and Joseph sat down in the very front pew on the right.
Next came in Ailleen and Kevin. Kevin took his place next to james at the front, and Ailleen sat in the right pew with Rini and Hotaru. Then, Anna and Goerge walked in together, sitting next to Ailleen, Joseph, and the girls.
Now it was Ami's turn to walk in, next to her Usagi. The church was beautiful, with lillies on the end of every pew. Her favorite. She imagined her own wedding would someday look like this. Then followed Makoto and Minako, Rei and Setsuna, and Haruka and Michiru. They lined up by the side, and Ami took her place.
Everyone turned towards the back. In walked Aiko in her neautiful gown. Her veil was held by her hand back in slight embarrassment and shyness, before she let it go and placed both hands firmly on the boquet, her arm intwined with her brother, whom had never looked prouder.
The two came down the isle, smiled on both their faces, as she nodded to some who waved politely. The priest raised his hand for silence. The organ stopped playing, and the priest began.
"We are gathered her e today to join this man and this woman in holy matrimony..."
---------------------
"Do you, James Kenly, take Aiko Mizuno to be your lawfuly wedded wife. To have and to hold from this day forth, for richer, for poorer, in sickness, and in health until you do part?" (I hope that's right!)
James smiled re-assuringly at Aiko, and spoke.
"I do." Ami wiped a tear form her eye.
"And do you, James Kenly, take Aiko Mizuno as your Wife? To have an to hold, from this day forwards, through sickness and health, for richer, for poorer, now and until you do part?"
"I do!" Aiko's excited tone cause peopel from the pews to smile, and Ami laughed slightly and shook her head.
"Bring forth the rings." After the two put on each other's rings, the priest spoke.
"I now proounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Aiko and James shyly leaned in to kiss each other, not used to other people wathcing when they did share a passionate kiss, but soon fell into the moment and kissed. Everyone clapped and cheered. Aiko and James walked off together down the isle, and everyone who walked in in the beggining followed, smiling like mad.
-----------------
Aiko and James got in the fron compartment of the limo, while Ami and her friends piled in the very large back compartment. They were all giggling.
"The ceremony was so cute! And your mom looks SO happy,:" Minako said, getting a dreamy look on her face.
"That's what our wedding'll look like babe," Duo told Minako, smiling devilishly.
"OUR WEDDING! Duo, you haven't even taken me on a second date," Minako said, smacking Duo in the back of the head.
"Seriously Ames," Makot said, ignoring Minako and Duo," the wedding was great! And I'm sure the reception will be just as awesome!" Ami nodded in agreement.
They arrived at teh hall a half-hour later, everyone having acted goofy and hopefully gotten the silliness out of themselves. They arrived at the gorgeous hall, and many peopel gasped as they entered. Gorgeous. The floor was ceramic, a mix of light blue and grey, with designs in the middle of each large block.
The walls were pale blue, almost white, and there was a beaitiful mural on the ceiling of angels with harps. Delicate crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling. Her mother had gotten her way with the sheets on the chairs, Ivory with a light blue ribbon tied on the back of every chairs. The main table for the bride and grooms main family was at the front. She and Quatre would sit with her mother and family, but the rest of her frineds would sit where it was reserved, in front of the table. Ami's friends sat at the tables she had reserved, each seated 10-14 people.
At one table sat Usagi, Mamoru, Minako, Duo, Makoto, Heero, Rei, Wufei, Greg, Julliana, Kaden (Koto), Rini, and Hotaru.
The second seated Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, Trowa, Rini, Hotaru, the four sisters, Andrew, Rita, and Liz.
"And now," a voice over the speakers spoke, "introducing for the first time, Aiko and James Kenly!" Everyone stood, clapping and cheering. The tables were abandoned as everyone made a circle around the dance floor, where the bride and groom shared their first dance, everuyone clepping along to the music and cheering them on.
Someone tapped Ami from behind where she stood clapping with her friends. She spun around, Quatre and the rest of her friends turning to look. A man with blue/black hair and brown eyes stood behind them. He looked to be about in his mid fourties. He was smiling, and his eyes shown with life.
"May I help you Sir," Ami asked. The man cringed, but re-composed himself quickly. Quatre's fist tightened, fearing it was Noko in disguise, and Kaden stepped forwards.
"We just spoke last week. I would have thought you would have remembered your father, Ami."

Noko fumed as he wandered around his hideaway. It was a small space ship, floating far away enough so that the earth's gravitational pull didn't affect it.
"Stupid Koto! Stupid BROTHER," he shouted in a rage, smashing his fist against a statue, which shattered immediately. he took a breath to steady himself.

"Do you, James Kenly, take Aiko Mizuno to be your lawfuly wedded wife. To have and to hold from this day forth, for richer, for poorer, in sickness, and in health until you do part?" (I hope that's right!)
James smiled re-assuringly at Aiko, and spoke.
"I do." Ami wiped a tear form her eye.
"And do you, James Kenly, take Aiko Mizuno as your Wife? To have an to hold, from this day forwards, through sickness and health, for richer, for poorer, now and until you do part?"
"I do!" Aiko's excited tone cause peopel from the pews to smile, and Ami laughed slightly and shook her head.
"Bring forth the rings." After the two put on each other's rings, the priest spoke.
"I now proounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Aiko and James shyly leaned in to kiss each other, not used to other people wathcing when they did share a passionate kiss, but soon fell into the moment and kissed. Everyone clapped and cheered. Aiko and James walked off together down the isle, and everyone who walked in in the beggining followed, smiling like mad.
-----------------
Aiko and James got in the fron compartment of the limo, while Ami and her friends piled in the very large back compartment. They were all giggling.
"The ceremony was so cute! And your mom looks SO happy,:" Minako said, getting a dreamy look on her face.
"That's what our wedding'll look like babe," Duo told Minako, smiling devilishly.
"OUR WEDDING! Duo, you haven't even taken me on a second date," Minako said, smacking Duo in the back of the head.
"Seriously Ames," Makot said, ignoring Minako and Duo," the wedding was great! And I'm sure the reception will be just as awesome!" Ami nodded in agreement.
They arrived at teh hall a half-hour later, everyone having acted goofy and hopefully gotten the silliness out of themselves. They arrived at the gorgeous hall, and many peopel gasped as they entered. Gorgeous. The floor was ceramic, a mix of light blue and grey, with designs in the middle of each large block.
The walls were pale blue, almost white, and there was a beaitiful mural on the ceiling of angels with harps. Delicate crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling. Her mother had gotten her way with the sheets on the chairs, Ivory with a light blue ribbon tied on the back of every chairs. The main table for the bride and grooms main family was at the front. She and Quatre would sit with her mother and family, but the rest of her frineds would sit where it was reserved, in front of the table. Ami's friends sat at the tables she had reserved, each seated 10-14 people.
At one table sat Usagi, Mamoru, Minako, Duo, Makoto, Heero, Rei, Wufei, Greg, Julliana, Kaden (Koto), Rini, and Hotaru.
The second seated Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna, Trowa, Rini, Hotaru, the four sisters, Andrew, Rita, and Liz.
"And now," a voice over the speakers spoke, "introducing for the first time, Aiko and James Kenly!" Everyone stood, clapping and cheering. The tables were abandoned as everyone made a circle around the dance floor, where the bride and groom shared their first dance, everuyone clepping along to the music and cheering them on.
Someone tapped Ami from behind where she stood clapping with her friends. She spun around, Quatre and the rest of her friends turning to look. A man with blue/black hair and brown eyes stood behind them. He looked to be about in his mid fourties. He was smiling, and his eyes shown with life.
"May I help you Sir," Ami asked. The man cringed, but re-composed himself quickly. Quatre's fist tightened, fearing it was Noko in disguise, and Kaden stepped forwards.
"We just spoke last week. I would have thought you would have remembered your father, Ami."
