Ch16: "...yes! Of course!" (A/N:That isn't Tyranda yelling, but eventually it will be!)
For the next six years, I noticed that Taya and Hiei had grown to like each other a lot. (And Hiei's now about 5ft, 7 in.!) I never, EVER expected Hiei to ask Taya to be his wife! After a moment of shocked silence, she said yes. I was crying because I was so happy for her. And I promised myself I wouldn't cry if this happened...Oh man...I can't stop crying! I tried desperately to stop crying, wiping my eyes with my sleeve. I felt Kurama's arm around me. I looked at him and smiled to show that I was happy for my best friend. The wedding was schedualed for only a week away, so I helped plan it. One thing was for sure, though: Planning is NOT my strong suit!
A week later, the wedding room was GORGEOUS! One wall was different shades of blue and green while the other side was different shades of red, orange, and yellow, with just a hint of black. It met in the center of the room, on the ceiling, mixing into each other, symbolic of the union of a fire demon and a water demoness. I was in a small band as a flute player among two trumpets, two violins, a cello, a saxophone,
three clarinets, and another two flutes. We even had a BASS clarinet player. It was Yomi! He wanted to make up for what he had done in the past and to apologize to Kurama and me. Mukuro was one of the flutes, Botan was a clarinet, Shuuichi, Kurama's stepbrother, was an alto saxophone, and my brother was on the cello. Unfortunatly, Tana was one of the violins and no longer liked Ronnoc after he was kissed by a girl in his college; worse, she was tone-deaf! We dealt with it, but, OUCH! Her playing messed us up so bad they kicked her off the stand and had Shiori play. She played a bit screechy, but at least she knew when to change the pitch. The great oak doors opened and in came Taya walked in wearing a deep blue gown, teardrop-shaped earrings, and a B-E-A-utiful(Why did I watch the movie Bruce Almighty?) necklace of crystal petals I had saved for a special occasion such as this. I started to cry tears of joy, I was so happy! I was just grateful it didn't affect my playing! (I really am a flute player! I'm actually quite good!)
After the reception, I was really sad and lonely, even though I caught the bouquet. Kurama had been overseas for something. I miss him so much...Where is he? He's been gone for three days now...Why? Come on, Kurama, I really want to see you again!
"Excuse me, miss," said the familiar, soft voice I missed so much. I turned around to see Kurama hiding something behind his back.
"Kurama!" I gave him a hug that I thought was all of the ones I had saved for when he finally got back.
"These are for you," he said, pulling a large bouquet of flowers from behind his back.
"Thank you. They're beautiful. Why do you always get me some flowers everytime you come back from somewhere?" I asked curiously.
"Why wouldn't I give you flowers?"
"Just you coming back is enough, sweetheart. I love you for who you are, not the gifts, though they are very nice. You don't have to spoil me!"
"Well, I love you too." He gave me a kiss, then asked, "Where are the newlyweds? I got them something as a wedding gift?" I pointed over to the table, where the lovely new couple were talking about what they wanted to do now that they were married. (OOOOOOOOHH! I know what./smiles evilly/ Kidding! They wanted to start some sort of business first so that they had enough money to be able to raise a family.)
I looked at the flowers again to notice the one in the middle wasn't real. I gently pulled it out and examined it. As I looked at it, I noticed a hinge on the back. I opened it to find a ring of interwoven vines and a rosebud on it, as well as a note. It said,
"To Tyranda- I've loved you for what seems like an eternity, so I wanted to ask you this: Will you be my wife? Again?" (Get it?)
It would've taken way too much for me NOT to scream, so I did anyway. I sat down on a bench to try and calm myself down.
"I, uh, guess you read the note?" I looked up to see Kurama blushing because I had screamed with joy. I stood up, smiling happily.
"Kurama, I thought you'd never ask!" I gave him a tight hug. "Of course I'll be your wife. Again!" I looked into his charming face and smiled again. "I've loved you for what seems to have been an eternity, too. I love you so much.." I gave him a kiss that was so long and passionate that he almost fell backward. Taya and Hiei had smiled when they heard me scream, and smiled more when they heard me say yes.
"They're definately a match made in heaven," said Taya, standing up.
"Hn. I suppose," Hiei agreed hesitantly.
"Oh lighten up, already!" cried Taya, giving him a playful whack on the head.
