Reader's POV

Kawana glared at the other girl. "What the hell do you want Noriko? Can you not see I'm busy?" Noriko shrugged and said, "I really don't care. I was thinking…this whole chip thing bugs me but not so much as having you around. So I decided I don't care if I die. I'm just a robot." She slipped into a fighting stance. Kawana felt a wave of fear wash over her. Was this girl crazy or what? What part of death and being shut down forever did she not understand?

"Noriko, don't do this it's not…" Noriko flew at her in a rage. Kawana felt someone grabbing her arm and yanking her out of the way. Noriko went flying by and Kawana nearly tripped over Hatori's feet. Glaring slightly at the man she turned to face the crazy woman. Noriko came running at her when she stopped dead.

Her mouth open in a silent scream, Noriko turned slowly to look at the person who had just stabbed a knife into her CNS. Kawana gasped when she saw the knife sprouting from Noriko's head. Hitachii stared coolly at the android as she dropped to her knees. "Geisha never said I couldn't kill you." Noriko didn't answer. Her eyes stared lifelessly ahead of her.

Hitachii turned to Kawana and said, "I followed Noriko her. I had a feeling she would try to pull something like this. Are you two all right?" Kawana glanced at Hatori before saying coldly, "I'm fine. Shall we leave?" she marched away from Hatori and left him to stand there.

"Kawana you look beautiful." Tohru pulled the veil over her sister's face and wiped the tears from her eyes. Kawana smiled nervously and adjusted the pure white cheongsam she wore. It had been four months since Hitachii had killed Noriko. In those four months Kawana had refused to speak to Hatori and had somehow gotten engaged to Hitachii. She had convinced him that the two of them should marry right away.

It was to be a small ceremony. The only invitees were Shigure, Tohru, Yuki, Kyo, Chantell, and Rei. So here she was, Kawana Geisha, about to be married to a man who wasn't worthy of her. "She's right Kaa-chan. You look wonderful. Now come on or Hitachii will think you've jilted him." Chantell handed her some pink roses and Kawana held them tightly. It was now or never.

Kawana walked slowly down the aisle of the tiny chapel, her eyes fixed upon one person: Hitachii. He looked handsome in his traditional kimono, courtesy of Shigure. When she reached him he took her hand and pulled her forward to where the priest stood, bible on hand. After reading all the necessary sections the priest finally wheezed out. "Aaat…thiiis time anyyyyone whoooooo objecccts to the unioooon of thiiiiissss couple speaaak noww oooorrrr forever hold yoooouuur peaccccce."

All was silent. As the priest opened his mouth to speak a majestic voice from the back of the church said, "I OBJECT! STOP! STOP I SAY!" everyone turned and saw a regal looking man with long silver hair standing at the back of the church. Proudly he walked towards them and said, "I, Ayame Sohma, cannot and will not allow this woman marry this man! Yuki-kun! Are you proud of me? There are 5 people in this world that would crash a wedding on the behalf of their best friend. I, of course, am number one!"

Yuki said in a strained voice, "Nii-san, I will kill you if you do not stop this foolishness." Shigure grinned brightly, "Aya-chan! My heart sings at seeing your face." "Shii-chan! My rejoices at hearing your voice." " Awright!" Kawana cleared her throat and said irritably, "Excuse me, I am trying to get married." Ayame turned back to her and said, "Ah yes! I have come to stop this wedding because this woman has committed a terrible offense!" "Nii-San! Get to the freaking point!"

Ignoring Yuki, Ayame said sternly, "This woman is about to marry a man she does not love! Whilst the man she does love sits in his house wasting away!" Kawana felt her heart thump at the mention of Hatori. She loved him, she didn't doubt that but she had given her word to Hitachii. She said quietly, "Ayame, I have given Hitachii my word. I will wed him." Ayame looked shocked. "You dare defy me! The great Ayame Sohma! I have come here to save my poor friend Hatori and this does not matter to you! Shigure, I am feeling quite faint."

Kawana felt a familiar hand on her shoulder and she turned to look at Hitachii. His eyes were guarded when he spoke, "This is true isn't it? Even if you were with me you could never love me." Kawana averted her eyes and replied with silence. Hitachii took a deep breath and shut his eyes. Finally he whispered raggedly, "Leave, go to him. I shan't keep you from where your heart truly lies." As tears fell from Kawana's eyes she threw her arms around her ex-fiancée's neck and whispered, "Thank you…"

Akito Sohma glared unseeingly out the window and thought, -such a beautiful day…beautiful…- he stood shakily and started laughing. Beautiful day or not, it was the perfect day to make someone else miserable. Someone like…Yuki. Yuki was so much fun. Such fun…Akito hated the rat. In fact he hated all the zodiac members. Everyone except Kureno. Or was it Shigure?

"Am I interrupting?" Akito whirled at the female voice. His smile didn't reach his eyes when he said, "My, My…if it isn't Kawana Watoshi. The woman who I despise. What brings you here?" Kawana dropped a wilted flower bouquet on the ground and said, "I'm here to marry Hatori." Anger blinded Akito's sights as he flew at her screaming, "Hatori is mine! All mine! I will never let you have him! He can never love you. He is like ice! Ice!" Akito's hands meet their mark and he tore at her blindly. It wasn't until he felt blood on his hands that he stopped.

With a gleeful laugh he said wildly, "Can he love you now? Even after I scratched up your beautiful face? Can you allow him to see you disfigured? Will you really make him suffer? To care for your wounds? I don't think so. Hatori will abhor you now."

Kawana had silently stood her ground when the possessed man had flown forward. Rivulets of blood flowed down her face as she smiled coldly. "Akito-san, I don't think you understand. You are indebted to me. You are possession. I can do as I like with you until you pay me back." Akito's eyes narrowed and he grabbed her roughly by the hair before yanking her face towards his. "What are you talking about? I owe you NOTHING!" he threw her backwards and she slammed into the wall.

Kawana smiled and stood as she massaged her bruised shoulder. In a cool and calm tone she spoke four words. "I saved your life." Akito picked up a chair to throw at her when her words sank in. dropping to the floor, the chair's clatter was drowned out by Akito Sohma's outraged scream.

Hatori Sohma stood by the window of his office frowning more than usual. Today was Kawana's wedding. She was to say; "I do" to that no good prick, Hitachii. Hatori gazed sadly out the window and thought, - I should have never fallen for her. My heart has once more become like snow… - as if on cue his assistant, Mine Sohma came in and said sweetly, "Hatori-san, you have a visitor in the lobby." Hatori rolled his eyes and figured it was Shigure. As he tried not to throw the door open of the lobby he started to say, "Shigure, what is…"

His voice trailed off when he saw the back of a familiar person. When he saw Kawana's face and joy ran unbridled in his heart he realized that his spring had finally returned.

Lol hope you guys liked it! I'm putting up an alternate ending so that you guys wont kill me too much for ending it this way. Stares nervously at all the daggers and swords touching her body See ya!

B.T.W I shall be putting up a sequel! It shall be called My Aoi. It's not really that much of a sequel considering the fact that Shigure and Aoi are the main characters but Kawana and Hatori show up and we find out what happens to them!
