Amber Eyes
Chapter 15:Skip to the Wedding
SummaryDo I really have to explain it?
Kenshin, of course, got a lot better. We went home in about two weeks after he woke up. Even though Megumi wanted him to stay a little longer.
We went back to our jobs at the Akabeko, finally, and never ate chicken much after that.
The days went by as routined, I would wake up with Kenshin and he would look into my eyes, I would look into his, he would kiss my cheek and tell me that we had to get ready to go to work and I would nod and get dressed in uniform of the Akabeko.
We always had all day shifts so there wasn't much time for 'fun' in the twelve hours that we could get to take a bath and sleep. We didn't even cook unless we wanted something really good for dinner, usually we would at the Akabeko and take anything more we could get home, that way we didn't have to cook anything later on.
I passed out all the invitations to our wedding, to the employees at the Akabeko, to my old friends that I don't see anymore. People that I want to see again, but probably won't. I sent them to whoever I could.
Seeing as though there weren't many people to give invitations to, we had about fifteen left. We kept all of them to be a kind of memorial treasure of our engagement, Kenshin's idea. The only hard part about getting married to Kenshin, was the three month wait until winter time, and the long horse ride to Mt. Fuji. I will explain those things later though.
I had to get a dress, and I knew it. Kenshin was going to wear his best kimono and I was thinking about it. Finally I decided to get a new kimono to wear to the wedding, one that would be the most beautiful. I looked in every store window, in every good store looking for a wedding ensemble. I found the perfect one.
It was a silk white kimono with a lake made into the bottom, up from the lake were cranes flying from it. It was the most beautiful kimono I had ever seen. That was what I was going to wear at my wedding.
Kenshin decided to where a plain blue robe with plain whit bottoms, kind of like what he always wore except for the color change. We had to get what we could afford so when I bought the dress I had the Akabeko cater for us. The two of us were going to have a wonderful wedding, and a great life with each other. (A/N i know it is beginning to suck, but this writing is hard!!)
Kenshin I were very anxious when we left to go to Mt. Fuji, we hired a carriage and three others for the guests, because it is much to far to walk. He wouldn't actually tell me what the place we were getting married at had looked like, but he said it would be beautiful. I trusted that he knew beauty quite well, or, I hope he did.
The ride to the mountain was three days long, and uncomfortable none the less. I hadn't had such a horrible ride like that before. Having Kenshin there did seem to make me feel a little better.
Three days later we arrived at Mt. Fuji, it was snowing like it always did there, but Kenshin still wouldn't let me see where the wedding area was, he said it was a surprise. We spent the night in a hotel and in the morning I got ready in my outfit, using traditional ways of Kenshin not seeing me before the wedding.
I felt as if I waited for hours as I was counting down the minutes until my life would become perfect. It must be normal because when I peeked in at Kenshin without him noticing, he was rubbing his hands together like he was nervous. Finally it was time to marry him, and I couldn't be more ready.
The scenery finally came into view; a lovely lake and waterfall with too many sakura trees to count. I could see Kenshin standing under one of them, their soft pink petals falling down around him. Clothed in the traditonal orange robe, a Buddhist monk stood behind Kenshin with a rosary, praying silently. Kenshin wore a blue gi and his usual white hakama.
And for a moment, I lost my breath. The sight of him amongst the sakura petals was captivating, too beautiful for words. I stepped out of the carriage, chuckling at the sight of Kenshin straightining up and smiling nervously. I held my bouquet of blue kikyo and lavender close to me, smiling at the irony that the flowers were the same color as our eyes.
Walking up to his side, he took my hand and squeezed it gently. The monk began praying, but we were lost in our own world. The only person I saw was him, his face flushed with nervousness. Finally, Kenshin began to speak, and what he said brought tears o my eyes...
"All though I've loved,
Long before this.
I have never
Felt such bliss
Even bliss
Can go bad
Especially when
She gets mad
She screams a fit
At every one near
So loud that even
The deaf can hear
But I don't care
She is mine I love her anyways
So lets have some wine
To celebrate
This perfect day
And to Kaoru I'd like to say
Thanks for saying
You love me too
The woman I speak of
Is obviously you.
So excuse me as
I run away
Cause if she catches me
I will pay
I will pay for revealing
How she is In this life
That I call bliss."
He looked at me and smiled, then kissed me on the cheek. I had a song for him, but I didn't think I was going to make it even halfway through the first verse. But, it was worth the try, so I sighed and began to sing.
(I do swear that I'll always be there. I'd give anything and everything and I will always care. Through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow, for better, for worse, I will love you With every beat if my heart.)
From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on
From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on
I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on
You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you
From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on
Kenshin looked at me, and tears began to pour from his eyes. The monk bowed and held his rosary up. "I know pronounnce you man and wife...You-" Kenshin had no intention of waiting. He kissed me deeply, winding an arm around my waist. He looked into my eyes, I looked into his. We both smiled and walked back to the carriage. Hand in hand, we were ready to start a new life...Together.
END- Please tell me what you think!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
