Disclaimer- Nope I really, really don't own Dragon Knights. If I did then there would be a lot more hot, available, yokai running around Draqueen. Nor do I own Sepia No Hi. That belongs to Card Captor Sakura.

Me- Gya! Sooo sorry for the lack in updates. As you should know my computer crashed and I have finals coming up. This is also the longest chap written for this fic so it took a while for me to actually get all the ideas out.

Rune- This time I can actually say that you were not lazy.

Rath- Do we get a lemon?

Me- Not until the next chap which I shall post as fast as I can! And then after that there is a sequel which I thought of. Which will crossover with Yu Yu Hakusho so please tell me if you want me to write, type and post it up!

Rune- Enough explaining!

Me- Ok! Onto the fic!

Prince to King

Chap 6- Wedding!

The castle was a buzz with much chatter and clatter. Humans, faeries, elves and castle residents were running around like mad trying to get everything perfect. It looked like the whole place was about to burst into a musical number, but Rath would have then burnt them all to a crisp.

"Kai-Stern stop eating the desserts, Lord please get changed, Tetheus…look happier! No that goes outside by the pond and Ruwalk get to my room now!" Alfeegi commanded directing each person with his hands.

"Alfeegi please calm down before you hurt something. The two that should be flipping out are Rath and Rune. After all they are the ones that need to get up in front of everyone and pronounce their undying love to each other." Ruwalk pleaded looking concerned.

"I don't have time. People need to be directed." Alfeegi protested pointing to another thing that was being poorly attended to.

"But I think Rath is doing a find job of it." Ruwalk diverted Alfeegi's attention to Rath, who was not dressed in his wedding attire and also directing people.

"He's not even changed!" Alfeegi fumed.

"Neither are you hon. so lets let the people do their jobs." Ruwalk led Alfeegi away, who but up a bit of a fight. Rune on the other hand was not having as much fun as everyone else. Eight of his female faerie cousins decided to help Rune get ready for the wedding, like he couldn't have done it himself.

"The light blue compliments his eyes." One squeaked, Phila to be exact. She held up the silk shirt to prove her point. Rune, upon threats, was going in elven ceremonial garb.

"But it doesn't go with the crown!" Mip growled pulling Phila away by her mint green hair. Rune sighed as the silver crown was placed on his head.

"Everything goes with silver Mip." Lampsly scoffed flipping her fire red hair over her shoulder showing her silver earrings went with the bright orange dress she was wearing.

"See!" Phila's lavender eyes narrowed boring into Mip's red ones.

"I think the blue would go very nice. After all he is the dragon knight of water." Sisle sighed trying to stop the fight.

"I have to agree with Sisle on this. It fits more." Que squeaked out smiling.

"But the theme here is woods! Greens and browns are the colors we need to work with." Mip glared at each one of them.

"But I need to go in blue. Rath is going in his respective dragons color so I should too." Rune finally got a word in edge wise.

"Plus there are streams in the woods." Phila laughed.

"Hump." Mip stalked out almost hitting Calic and Depra who where walking in with some tea.

"She was proven wrong?" Calic snickered handing Rune his cup.

"By Phila, Que and Sisle no less." Lampsly giggled.

"Can we please get going! I have a wedding to be in, in one hour!" Rune almost sobbed hoping they would stop.

"You guys find a light blue silk shirt, dark blue satin pants and a silver and blue dragon brocade duster. I'm going to put the crown on his head and before any of you complain I get to do it because I am the oldest." Calic ordered and the six left saluted her before running off in pairs to find the desired objects.

"Thanks Calic." Rune sighed handing her the brush.

"Are you sure that you want to go through with this?"

"Even more then when I accepted being a Dragon Knight."

"You do remember who his creator is. What he did to our people and mostly what Rath did to Draqueen. I don't know if your people will accept you back."

"Rath didn't choose who to be toyed with nor did he choose his creator. Plus I can't go home after this; I am going to be ruler of Draqueen after all." Calic finished looping his hair into the crown before spinning him around to face her.

"Just make sure that you are happy with this. That is all I want out of it." She gave him a kiss on the cheek walking into her own room to get changed.

"Rath get ready!" Alfeegi glared at Rath who was still ordering people around.

"I was just trying to help." Rath sniffed trying to look hurt.

"You were but now you need to get ready. You're marrying Rune in half an hour." Ruwalk hoped that acting sympathetic would convince Rath to get ready.

"Ok thanks!" Rath skipped off humming a tune.

"You're good." Alfeegi said in amazement.

"If you don't always yell then you may get the results that you want." Ruwalk pushed Alfeegi close to him kissing his temple.

-1 hour later-

"Rath stop twitching your foot." Alfeegi whispered kicking Rath in the leg. In hind sight that was a bad move, since Rath was in his black and red ceremonial armor.

"I'm nervous, what would you have me do?" Rath continued to twitch his foot until the crown on the raised altar started to shake. Then he decided to stop.

"Don't worry you'll forget everything once you see Rune coming down the aisle." The Lord whispered giving Rath's shoulder a comforting squeeze.

"I hope your right. I don't like all these people looking at me." Rath mumbled under his breath. He kept looking around waiting for the queue for Rune to come out. The only thing he found was a death glare from Cesia. That kept his gaze on the door. Just as his nerves were settling down the music started and the doors opened. Rath felt his breath, thought and movement stop as Rune appeared walking down the aisle. He was godly with golden locks waving down his back and a silver crown adorning it. The dusk setting in the background set a soft glow around him. The clothes were a bit to loose for his preference, but Rath reminding himself that he would be seeing Rune nude before the morning came. Rune was going through similar symptoms as he looked upon Rath. His hair was still in the disheveled but with cuteness to it. The armor fit him well like it always did and his cape flowed in the breeze. He looked like the prince charming every girl would imagine and he was all Rune's. Rune blushed madly as he walked up to Rath staring him in the eyes. The whole ceremony went well except when the cleric asked if there was any objection to the pair getting married. Cesia almost had the whole wedding guests jump her.

"Are you willing to give your life for this man?"

"Yes I am." Rune answered almost crying.

"Same for you."

"My life and more." Rath slid his hand down Rune's cheek.

"You are now bonded." The cleric closed the book and walked off the raised platform. Rath pulled Rune into the most forgettable kiss of their lives. The gusts applauded as the pair broke apart and the Dragon Lord placed the crown on Rune's head.

-Reception-

"Congrats Rune!" Phila squealed as she hung from Rune's neck.

"That was so cute." Zephie giggled twirling around in circles.

"Thanks." Rune smiled nervously as all his cousins gathered around him and his husband.

"Rune when did you get so many cousins?" Rath whispered over as Que commented about his hair.

"I would also like to know that as well." Rune whispered back in a sympathetic tone.

"When are you two going to dance? The night is not getting any younger." Sisle teased as she pulled Rune up by the hands, also pulling Phila up.

"Oh am I going to be in this dance?" Phila giggled as she tried to dance with Rune as she hung from his neck.

"No Rath is!" Mip yanked Phila off and Depra pushed Rath into his arms.

"Can I at least get changed out of the armor and into something a bit more dance oriented?" Rath begged giving all the girls a pleading look.

"Then it won't be traditional." Que stomped her foot.

"Yes but I would like to keep me feet in tact." Rune stated.

"Then he is also going in the elven traditional garb. Now come on!" Mip pulled Rath along back to the castle. Rath gave Rune a look of pleading horror but Rune only mouthed his prayer that Rath would survive. Rath, in turn, gave Rune a glare promising that he was going to get back at him later tonight.

"So how long do you think he will last?" Calic asked as she took her seat next to Rune.

"An hour at most, if Phila and Mip can agree on something." It was around twilight when Rath finally made his appearance scowling miserably.

"Rune I hate women." Rath growled interrupting Rune's conversation with a fellow Elf.

"Come out it couldn't have been that bad…" Rune's voice died out when he saw what Mip and Phila did to him. He had on a black leather tank, loose red cotton pants, black leather boots and a form fitting black brocade trench coat with the same silver dragons Rune had embroidered into his own duster.

"We had to make a few adjustments with his outfit. He refused the back silk top." Mip informed Rune glaring at Rath.

"I'm so glad he did." Rune mumbled as he ghosted his fingers over Rath's chest.

"Everyone is still waiting." All eight of the cousins pushed the couple out onto the dance floor. A flood of applause went around and the melody started.

Sonna ni mukuchi ni nattara
Waraenaku naru ja nai
Daremo inai kousha aruita
Kaze ni tobasarenai you ni
Mujaki ni waratta shashin waIroasete iku keredo
Soko ni wa ima demo kaze ga fuiteNamida ga tomaranai
(When you withdraw into silence like that
You can't laugh, right?
The picture of you smiling innocently
As you walked through the empty school
As if the wind wouldn't let you flyIs fading,
But even now a wind still blows there
And the tears won't stop)

Rath spun Rune around once and the pressed his back to his body.

"You are my most treasured gem in the universe."

"No I'm not." Rune whispered turning his head to hide his blush.

"Why wouldn't you be? You're everything a person would want and I'm the only one who can have you." Rath twirled Rune out before he could make another protest.

Toorisugita hi no ato wa
Joukei dake ga zutto nokoru
Fuzakeatta toki mo surechigatta toki mo
Chanto kono me de mite okitai
(What's left behind after days gone by
Is always, just a scene.
The times we played around, the times we crossed each other
I want to see them right with my own eyes.)

Rune clung onto Rath as if he would disappear as the started to just sway to the tune.

"Am I really all that to you?"

"Yes you are my water gem and don't you ever doubt it." Rath leaned down and gave a soft kiss on Rune's lips.
Mou kimi to aenai
Onaji yume tooku made oikaketa
SEPIA no hi itsu made mo
Kagayaite futari no takaramono
(I can't see you any more
We chased the after same dreams into the distance
Sepia-colored days - always
Shine, as our precious treasure.)
"You are a dream come true, a perfect dream come true.
" Rath whispered into Rune's ear as he started a trail of kisses down Rune's neck.
"Even when I become old and aged?" Rune teased giggling.
"You are always a dream to me in any form. But my favorite form is you under me, naked, pleading for me to go harder and faster." Rath whispered in a husky tone as one of his hands started to go up Rune's inner thigh. Rune blushed a bright red before stepping on Rath's foot.
Yuugure eki no HO-MU de
Zawameki to BERU ga hibiku
Chiisaku unazuita koe sae todokazu ni
Sabishiku naru
(Bells echo noisily
At the station platform at twilight
I bowed my head a little, my voice couldn't reach you
And it made me lonely)
Rune smiled to himself at his accomplishment as he cuddled closer to his soon to be lover.
"I'll never be lonely with you around."
"I would hope I make you happy enough not to be lonely. After all you are my mate." Rath gave a small bite on Rune's neck causing the poor elf to squeak.
"People are watching Rath!"
Kotoba ni shiyou to omou to
Naze da kasugu ni kiete shimau
Totemo taisetsu de kakegaenai mono de
Wakatte-iru no ni ienai mama
(When I think about expressing my feelings,
Why do the words suddenly disappear?
Even though I realize what's so precious,
So irreplaceable, I can't say it.)
"It was so hard to say I love you to your face. I seemed to be able to say it so many times to my reflection, but every time I faced you I couldn't get out the word hello." Rath gave out a part of his hidden secrets burying his face into Rune's neck.
"The same was for me as well. I wanted to go up to you and kiss away all the problems that you had but I never knew how you would have reacted." Rune sighed petting Rath's hair. He felt honored that Rath would share an intimate feeling with him, knowing how hard it was for Rath to even put emotions in words.
Nanika wo motomete kokoro no DOA wo akete
Fuan ni makesou de miageta sora
Kimi no mama de ite jibun no chikara wo shinjite
Atarashii kisetsu wo sagashi ni yukou
(Search after something, open the door to your heart.
The sky you looked up at as you were going to give in to doubts...
Stay as you are, believe in your own strength
Let's go in search of a new season.)
"I don't know if I can ever go home now, now that I have married you." Rune looked up into the night sky watching the stars twinkle during their dance.
"You have doubts about your decision?" Rune felt Rath pull him painfully close.
"I would never have any doubts about marrying you. I have never had any regrets about anything I have done with you."
"Even when I got us into all that trouble just because I wanted to hunt down demons before getting here with Nadil's head?"
"I have serious doubts if I was too easy on you and Thatz but I don't regret any of the adventures."
Mou kimi to aenai
Tsugi no SUTE-JI e to mukatte iku
SEPIA no hi SAYONARA
Wasurenai yo ookiku te wo futta
(I can't see you any moreI'm going on to the next stage
Sepia-colored days Sayonara
I won't forget how you gave me a big wave goodbye)
"I never want to leave you, ever. I never want to say goodbye for good." Rath sobbed hiding his face in Rune's neck, preventing the tears from being seen.
"I will never leave you for good. I don't think I could bear that myself." Rune let a tear slide down bringing Rath up for a tender kiss.
Yuuhi no kaze ni osarete
Yukkuri to densha ga ugokidasu
Mata itsuka kono basho e
SEPIA no hi natsu e kaette koyou
(Pushed by the evening winds
The train slowly begins to move.
Someday, let's come back again, to this place,T
o sepia-colored days, to summer...)
As the last note filtered through the night air applause rang out.
"Now that Rath has been saved from the clutches of his new cousins and danced with his husband, let's eat!" The Dragon Lord gave a clap and caterers came out carrying trays with food.
"Come on, we need to go and eat." Zephie squeaked as she pulled Rath and Rune back to their chairs.
"We'd go a little faster." Rath pulled her up into his arms. "If you walked faster." Rath teased as she squealed in delight. Rune gave a soft smile latching onto his arm.
"And I don't get carried?"
"Oh you'll get carried all right. And after that you'll be carrying two little ones." Rath gave a teasing lick to Rune's ear walking away with a slightly confused Zephie. Rune blushed a bright red, and then realization dawned on him.
"TWO!" Rath snickered hurrying to his chair. He sat down pulling Zephie into his lap as Rune stalked over."I think having twins would be cute.
"Then I hope both are girls. I mean after all we have enough cousins to teach them." Rath paled and Rune flaunted his victory. Zephie looked between the two in confusion.
"No fair! Zephie gets to eat with them." Que pouted as she climbed into Rune's chair. Rune playfully rolled his eyes as he picked her up, setting her on his lap.
"Yay!" She gave a cry of delight as the food was served.
"Rath-chan! That was a kawaii dance!" Liminality shouted as she ran up and hugged her older brother.
"Liminality?" Rath asked dazed.
"It was a very cute dance." Kharla said coming up behind her daughter.
"Hello Kharla, Liminality." Rune said politely.
"Zephie and I are going to go back to our seats. Thanks Rune." Que hugged her cousin and dragged off Zephie who had no clue to what was going on.
"Rune-chan!" Liminality jumped from Rath and onto Rune.
"She's speaking common." Rath commented pointing to a seat in which is step mother could sit in.
"Mostly, she was so intent on learning the whole language before the wedding so she could talk with everyone. But there are still a few things that need to be worked out." Kharla sat down brushing off her dress.
"Iie!" Liminality stuck her tongue out trying to prove she could speak common. It wasn't a very good attempt.
"Where's Kharl?" Rath asked looking around.
"He decided not to come. It would have made too much of a commotion."
"Please tell him thank you for the potion." Rune smiled letting Liminality have a chicken wing.
"I will. Did the clan let you use it?"
"They have no say in the situation. I am ruler now."
"Ahh you're using it tonight." Kharla gave a wink and Rune blushed again. He was going to have to get used to these comments.
"What is Rath-chan using on Rune-chan tonight?" Liminality asked so innocent to what was going on just above her ears. Rune went an ever brighter shade, Kharla coughed and Rath was more then willing to tell her.
"Hentai." It was Liminality's turn to go bright red.
"Oni-chan!" Liminality cried ashamed."She asked." Rath grined avoiding Kharla's shocked expression and Rune's blank one.
"What did you tell her?" Rune growled getting that murderous glint in his eyes.
"Hentai."
"What does it mean?" Rune leaned closer pulling Rath in by his shirt collar. Rath then whispered the meaning into Rune's ear making the poor elf go back to red.
"Not the way I would have liked to tell her but it works." Kharla coughed again patting her daughter on the head.
"Echii oni-chan!" Rath fell off his chair, Kharla grinned proudly at her daughter and Rune vowed to get a Common to Yokai dictionary soon.
"Ruwalk do you ever want to have a family of our own?" Alfeegi mumbled looking upon Liminality running between Rath and Rune.
"Once the Dragon Clan comes up with a way then yes I would." Ruwalk nuzzled into Alfeegi's neck.
"Until then, I am perfectly content."
Me- Ok that was a really, really, really long chap.
