CHAPTER 10: THE SUPPOSING BRIDE

"I hate you Mi-chan! Why do you have to be late today?" Fuuko shouted over the phone.

"Please do understand," Tokiya tried to reason out, placing the phone a foot away from him. "If it wasn't for that accident, I should've been there an hour ago."

"Stop your explanations!" Fuuko shouted, tears rolling down her cheeks. "Go here, or I'll leave! You won't see me again… ever!" she turned the phone off and threw it, crying.

"In all times to be late, why now?"

Yanagi entered the room and said, "It's okay, Fuuko. Wait for Tokiya. He'll come. Don't worry, we can wait," she assured. "I'll just leave you here first, to calm down, okay?"

"Okay," Fuuko nodded, taking a glass of water from Yanagi.

"Miss Kirisawa?" a voice from the back answered.

"Yes?" she said, drying her tears.

The girl in bride's gown took her hand and led her to the rooftop of the hotel. "This is very important matters, ma'am."

"Why did you take me here?" Fuuko asked, looking all around. She turned back to the woman and she shrieked. "Kokiden?"

She laughed heartily. "Fuuko, my dear. Do you think I'll make things easier for you?"

"And do you think I'll make your plans easy to see?" Fuuko replied. "You don't know me, Kokiden. I fought with people much more than you. You're a speck of dust compared to them."

"Don't dare insult Shinaseki Kokiden," Kokiden replied, with a look of pure loathing. "You don't know…"

"And don't dare fight Kirisawa Fuuko. You definitely do not know."

Kokiden took her katana from the back and threw Fuuko another one. "Well, then. May the best bride win."

(a/n: I can't imagine women fighting in their wedding gowns, but they can manage.)

"Raiha! What are you doing here?" Yanagi asked. All of the other guests (only the whole Hokage) looked back to see the unexpected visitor.

"I need to talk with you," he replied hastily, looking around before dragging Yanagi to a corner. "There will be trouble."

"What trouble?"

He gasped for breath first before explaining. "Kokiden will dispatch Fuuko then she will be the one who will attend this wedding."

Yanagi gasped. "What?"

"We need to find Fuuko and guard her before the wedding starts. But don't tell anyone that I told you about the plan."

"Why?" Yanagi asked.

Raiha shook his head guiltily and confessed. "They blackmailed me that they'll kill Fuuko if I tell anybody. but that doesn't matter now. You need to help her."

Yanagi nodded and called the others.

"Not now!" Tokiya shouted, as his car broke down. As he went down to start to a run, men surrounded him. "Let me pass!" Tokiya ordered to the men who surrounded his car.

"Lady Shinaseki told us not to let you pass," they said in unison.

"So, it's Kokiden, huh?" Tokiya said. "Let me pass, or else," he threatened, taking a sword from one of the men and started slashing this and that, until all of the men are down. "Sorry, guys, carried away," he mocked, before leaving his broken down car and running to the hotel.

"Fuuko?" he shouted after banging the door open. Fuuko is not there but he saw a note. "See you at the rooftop," the note said. He ran up, using the stairs because the elevator was out of order. Upon reaching the door up, he saw Kokiden pointing the gun on him.

"Hi, Tokiya. I know that you'll go here," Kokiden said, smiling sweetly. "Kirisawa, do you think you're my goal in this latest project?"

"What?" Fuuko asked in confusion.

"It's you, Tokiya. I know you don't want me, but I won't let you for anyone!" she shouted like crazy. "Goodbye Tokiya. Always know that I love you," she bade before pointing it straight to his chest.

"No!" Fuuko shouted, running towards Tokiya. "Mi-chan!"

"Fuuko! Don't!" Tokiya shouted. However, Fuuko embraced him before Kokiden shot him, instantly having the bullet for herself instead if hitting Tokiya. Because of the force, they fell off the rooftop and they slowly fell down.

"Tokiya?" Kokiden said, a look of shock on her face. "What did I do?" Later on, she started to laugh like crazy. She is going crazy.

"I guess were not meant to be," Fuuko said slowly. As they fell down the high building. "It's impossible to be alive in this."

"Where in the world did Fuuko go?" Recca asked. He banged the door several times.

"There's a quicker way," Domon answered in a rush before kicking the door open.

"Fuuko!" Yanagi shouted nervously.

Ganko scanned the room and saw the note. "They're on the rooftop, we have to get there, quick!"

They went to the building and saw a crazy woman in a wedding gown. "I killed the both of them!" she shouted proudly, continued to laugh.

Yanagi looked down and she saw Tokiya and Fuuko falling down the building.

"If anything bad happens to them, you'll pay!" Ganko shouted in a freaky sort of way.

Kokiden laughed crazily. "Tokiya's only mine!"

Yanagi's faced went to look at her. Nobody advanced for she is swinging the gun carelessly. However, everyone held their breaths as Kagerou appeared behind her and hit her in her pulse point. Kagerou caught her and laid her slowly on the ground.

"Do what you need," she said calmly, pointing at the unconscious form of Kokiden.

Domon massaged his knuckles and carried Kokiden, tying her safely on a post. "That's for you!"

Recca yelled at them. "We better do something. Call a rescue team."

Tokiya looked at her love. "I guess so. But I know that we will still love each other, in the next life."

"In the next life," Fuuko repeated, before kissing Tokiya. They continued to kiss each other until…

a/n: oh my! A cliffhanger! Don't expect good things from Utara because certainly, this won't go well and not like what happened to some story. But I guess it's time to move on, right?
