The Wedding
It was the day of the wedding and Nakada had managed to do something's before the weddig. She had her wedding gown ready as well. It was white with blue beads on it making it shine. Her veil went to her waist in the back and hid her face really well. Her bouquet of flowers had white, red, and blue roses with lilacs that she and Yoko had grown. Jennah was her maid of honor and Nakada's youngest sister Alexandra her flower girl and her second youngest sister Cindle were her brides maid. While her two other brothers; DJ and Abba were the ring barriers and he triplet brother Squall just sat on one of the chairs.
Yoko was in a white tux with a white tie and he practically felt like he was choking in. He was wearing the chain necklace Nakada had given him so he looked human but he kept on loosening the tie around his neck, or least trying to. Kuronue was his best man and he was wearing a black tux and was having the same problem with his tie. He was also wearing the chain necklace Jennah had given him so he looked human as well. Before the wedding started Yoko and Kuronue were talking to each other.
"So you are finally getting married," Kuronue stated watching Yoko trying to again loosen his tie, "Jennah and I are thinking about doing our wedding when we first met as well. June 31st the first day I met her but I ended up hypnotizing her instead of falling for her."
Yoko smiled as he continued to try and loosen his tie, "Well all I can say is at least you didn't strike her. I still can't believe she has forgiven me for all of the things I did to her…oh Sama this tie is going to choke me to death before I even get to the alter!" Yoko was frustrated with his tie and was about to rip it off when Jennah came in, wearing a violet gown.
"Yoko here let me see that for a second," she went over to Yoko undid his tie and redid it but this time it was a little more loose so he could breath, "That any better?" she asked as she went and loosened Kuronue's.
"Much, thanks," Yoko rubbed his neck thankful that the tie wasn't choking him anymore, "How can you humans stand these ties?"
Jennah looked at Yoko after she had loosened Kuronue's tie and sat beside him, "I don't know, girls don't normally wear bowties." They went outside and she watched Yoko sit down on a chair as he looked at the tent Nakada was in getting her dress on. He hadn't seen the wedding dress because in human superstition if the groom saw the dress before the wedding started it was bad luck and he really didn't need any bad luck right about then. Jennah looked at what he was staring at and smiled, "Pre-wedding jitters?" she asked and Yoko smiled a little.
"I guess it's just…" he looked down and got up and walked over to the lake and they followed him. Yoko wrapped his arms around his torso and looked out across the waters. He sighed and continued, "It's just I didn't really expect to actually fall in love with someone. Much less falling in love with a very powerful human who can kill me with the swish of her hand. Yet here I am doing a human custom tradition in marrying her. There is nothing wrong with that it's just to me this is a bit overwhelming."
Jennah smiled and stood next to Yoko, "Well maybe then you should have let Nakada do the things with you instead of her trying to beat you to some of the things."
He smiled, "I just wanted to show her that I will also try and do things to help her and not just lay back like the rest of the human men. Human men," Yoko turned around and looked at everyone there. He looked at all the people there, the Signs, the parents, even some family friends were there, "Human men and even demons don't really remember that much about why they had married their wives in the first place. Yes it was about love but I wonder if they let their wives do most of the planning or did they help? Did they used to care for them more then they do now?" He looked at Jennah and Kuronue and he saw they had understanding faces.
"When my parents had me and my brother they started doing drugs and getting drunk. They would also fight a lot and sometimes Kyle and I were in the cross fight. But ever since they were abducted by the Dark Signs they have changed so much."
Yoko smiled, "That is probably because they were taken away from something that was important to them and they didn't realize that until it was to late. My guess that is the same with all of the stolen parents they had found what they never noticed they had until it was lost. That is why I think for Nakada and my Honey Moon we should start the whole trip over again. Form the place we first met to all the way back at the house. But I think this is up to her we will go to demon world first. Along the way we will come back for your wedding but this is up to Nakada. If she doesn't want to do this then I have another idea in mind that is a lot more relaxing then the first one."
Jennah smiled, "You know I don't think you will have to go to the second idea she will absolutely love the first. I should know she wouldn't stop talking about the trip when we left Trenton."
Yoko smiled, "I hope your right."
Rick then walked up to them, "Yoko can I talk to you for a second alone?"
"Sure Mr. Bates," he looked at Jennah and Kuronue but they were already gone. He looked at Rick, "Yes?"
"I heard what you were saying earlier when you were talking to those two," Yoko nodded, "You seem really content on making sure you take care of Nakada and make her show she is loved."
Yoko nodded again, "I don't intend to try and control her if that is what you mean. And even I was intending on doing it I doubt she would anyway. I said it once and I'll say it again I love your daughter Mr. Bates and I doubt it will ever change."
Rick nodded his head, "Yes, the heart crystal will make sure you don't turn out like 'human men' as you put it."
Yoko shook his head, "Even if I didn't have the heart crystal I would say and do the same thing."
"I don't think you would Yoko," Rick said folding his arms behind his back and looking out into the lake, "You are now immortal like she is and I believe not all things are meant to last."
Yoko looked at him hard, "I assure you Mr. Bates my love for her will last even if I didn't have half of the heart crystal. If you died and then you're wife died and you both went to heaven or whatever you two would be together for all eternity. Do you think you would be able to love her even though there is no heart crystal keeping you two together? Or do you think your love her wouldn't last at all?"
Rick looked at him angered, "I love my wife and I assure you I wouldn't drift away from her."
"Then why do you think I would when you wouldn't," Yoko asked a little angered. Then he thought of something and his eyes darkened as the pupils became diamond shaped, "I see…you think that because I'm a demon I wouldn't love her or care for her as much as a human man would. You think that a demon's love doesn't last longer then humans or is it just me because I rapped a lot of women and didn't care what happened to them? I know how they felt when Kelsey did the same thing to me when I was paralyzed and couldn't do anything about it. I will repeat it again Mr. Bates I didn't care about those girls like I care for your daughter…"
"No, but neither did Kuronue but he still helped the girls out," Rick interrupted him looking at him hard again.
"Listen I don't know what you want me say Mr. Bates to make you happy but I will marry your daughter and I will love her for as long as she loves me and even longer," with that Yoko turned around storming mad not wanting to talk to Rick anymore. He looked around and saw Rick and Susan talking to each other and Susan seemed mad. He listened but sat down in a chair to lisen but looked like he wasn't listening in on the conversation at all.
"Rick, why can't you just accept that Yoko loves Nakada and they are meant for each other? Do you really want to lose our daughter again only this time she decides to leave us? Why can't you just accept that they were meant for each other he is not going to harm her?"
"Susan he is a demon!"
"So what? She sees the good in him and he is trying to let it show so everyone else can as well. Rick why don't you stop bothering him and do what you said you would do. Welcome him into the family and stop acting so much like a demon yourself. No pun intended to Yoko. Jennah is marrying Kuronue and Jennah's parents don't mind."
"That is because he didn't do all of the horrible things Yoko did. Susan I am only worried for our daughter…"
"And I'm saying you shouldn't have to, he won't harm her I know it in my heart. You know as well as I do that my feelings are never wrong and if and that is a very big if he tries to harm her then you can yell at me all you want."
"Fine," and with that they walked to get chairs before there were none left. Rick went into the tent Nakada was in and Yoko took his place at the alter waiting for Nakada as the wedding began to start.
Nakada had a napkin in her hand and bits of it on her lap while she sat on the chair. Rick came in and saw his daughter, "You ready Nakada?"
She turned to him and all of the paper napkin pieces floated over to a recycle been, "Yes I am," she walked over to her father and wrapped her arms around his neck, "Thank you for understanding dad," she pulled back a bit and cupped his face, "You don't know how much this means to me. Yoko is my life and I know we will be happy together. I mean he did such a wonderful job with the wedding preparations and I can't wait to see where we are going for our Honey Moon. He said we are going to do some traveling and other things or we can relax somewhere."
Rick swallowed as he began to feel a little guilty on how he had just treated Yoko, "Your welcome but come on," he said taking her hand and placing it on his arm and giving her, her bouquet and covered her face with the veil, "Don't want to be late for your own wedding do you?"
Nakada smiled and shook her head, "No I could never hurt Yoko like that or in anyway," Rick felt that same twinge of guilt he had felt earlier but as the music played he lead her out into the open.
Yoko smiled when he saw Nakada walk up the isle holding her fathers arm, "That is some nice dress," he heard Kuronue say in his head.
Yoko nodded, "Yes, but please keep the comments until after the wedding." Kuronue nodded and kept quiet. Yoko remembered everything he had to do. Nakada had suggested they make their own vows and he thought it was a wonderful idea. He knew exactly what he was going to say and he somewhat had a glimpse view of what was going to happen at the house for the third part of the Sign Mating ritual. He took a deep breath as he remembered what he was going to say as he took Nakada's hand from her father.
The priest went through the whole wedding speech and then they got to the vows (sorry don't know that much about weddings.) Yoko took Nakada's hand and took the ring he had bought and placed it on her finger as he began to speak, "Nakada I know when we first met, it could have been better and I am not the best man in the world," "Or worlds," he said in her mind and she smiled, "but I will love you everyday and if you die then I will join you without hesitation because I could barely stay sane over the past three years you were gone. So I know I wouldn't be able to stand the rest of my life without you. I will care for you and cherish you as well as the children we may have and give you anything I can to make you happy. I give you this ring and place in on your finger to show you that just like the circle it makes, my love for you as well will never end."
Nakada smiled and took the ring she had got for him and placed it on his finger, "Yoko even though I sometimes didn't seem like it I was a quiet girl and I didn't make friends easily because I was sometimes shy around other people. But when I met you, well you know I wasn't shy because of some of the arguments we made. But you still found some way to forgive me and also managed to get over our differences. I love you Yoko and I don't care what things you have done in the past…I only care about what lies ahead of us and I hope the good memories to come out of it. I place this ring on your finger to show you that what I am saying is true and that I will do anything for you." "Because you and I both know that I don't like to be the center of attention." Yoko smiled and nodded.
The priest smiled as well and continued, "Yoko Kurama do you take Nakada Alene Bates to be your lawfully wedded wife? To care for and protect through sickness and health as long as you both shall live?"
Yoko smiled, "I do."
The priest looked at Nakada, "And do you Nakada Alene Bates take Yoko Kurama to be your lawfully wedded husband? To care for and protect through sickness and health as long as you both shall live?"
Nakada smiled under the veil, "I do."
The priest looked into the crowd, "If there are any objections to why these two should not be joined in holy matrimony speak now or forever hold your peace." Yoko waited not turning his head almost expecting Rick to speak up but he never did. Again the priest smiled, "Then by the power invested to me by the power of god I pronounce you husband and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Kurama," he turned to Yoko, "You may now kiss the bride."
Yoko smiled as he gently lifted the veil over Nakada's face and carefully over her head showing her smiling face. Yoko smiled and cupped her cheek and leaned in to kiss her. They both closed their eyes and enjoyed the kiss and they broke apart. The organ they had somehow brought there began to play and Yoko picked Nakada up running down the isle with her both of them smiling as everyone began to through rice into the air.
Back at the mansion everyone was celebrating the wedding and having tons of fun. They had just started the father and daughter dance. All of the girls and their fathers were on the floor outside dancing. Yoko stood watching Nakada dancing with her father and he saw how happy she was. She had already danced with her other father Laguna so now she was with Rick. He smiled as he drank some apple cider (That's right there is no drinking because neither bride nor groom likes alcohol or drugs. And if you have a problem with that then that is just tough.) He looked at the watch Nakada had given him in another one of her letters. It adjusted to any kind of world's time so it could never be wrong. He had never been able to give her a letter back much less a gift so that was another one of the reasons why he had worked on the wedding. In a few minutes he and Nakada would do the last step of the Sign ritual and they would truly be joined together in the Demon, Human and Sign way. He smiled and leaned against the wall as he continued to watch Nakada dance with her father. It had all been decided, after Nakada was done dancing with her father she would through the bouquet behind her to all the single women behind her. Then they would go up stairs in their own rooms and get dressed for the second part of the Sign ritual.
The last step of the Sign ritual was for the two lovers to dance to a song but he didn't know what happened during the song. He only knew he and Nakada were supposed to say the first lyrics of the song and then they would dance. He looked at his watch again as he drank from his glass again. He didn't happen to see the bat demon behind him until it was a little to late, "HEY YOKO!"
Yoko choked on the cider as he looked behind him and saw Kuronue trying to hold back giggles. Yoko finally stopped choking and glared at Kuronue with his eyes watering, "Are you trying to kill me or something Kuronue?" he asked.
Kuronue looked at him and saw that Yoko had indeed almost choked (or drowned) to death from the cider. He walked up to him, "Jeez Yoko, sorry didn't mean to try and kill you."
Yoko smiled as he removed his hand from the base of his throat and wiped his eyes, "You are such a joker Kuronue you know that?"
Kuronue smiled, "Sorry, next time I wont try to scare you when you are drinking something or have something in your mouth. But you have to admit I did get you good."
Yoko nodded as he looked at his watch, "It's almost time to get everything started," Yoko looked at Nakada and saw that she was done dancing and was heading towards him.
"You ready?" she asked standing in front of him.
He smiled and walked up to her and wrapped his arm around her waist, "Always."
"I think I'll leave you two alone right now," Kuronue said and walked off.
Yoko smiled and gave Nakada the bouquet of flowers, "In a few more minutes we are going to finish the Sign ritual."
"Get some sleep and restart our adventure from where everything first started."
"Only this time it will be the two of us."
"And when it is close to Kuronue's and Jennah's wedding we'll stop for a little while and then restart our adventure again. I wonder what it looks like in Demon world."
"Well there isn't that much technology they only use advanced technology on traps and security. There really isn't that much to do."
Nakada stepped closer to Yoko and hooked her index finger under his chin and looked at him with a smile, "I think I can find some way to entertain myself."
Yoko smiled and stroked her face, "But what if I go away to steal?"
Nakada pouted a little, "And leave me behind?"
He chuckled a little as he cupped her face and she leaned into his hand, "Well I don't see why not. But your father…"
"My father won't want me to steal. He didn't say anything about tagging along and helping out when I can as long as I don't steal anything."
Yoko smiled, "Are you always this good at finding loop holes?"
Nakada closed her eyes a little and smirked, "You haven't seen nothing yet."
"Testing, testing can we have the bride and the groom up here for a few seconds?" they looked behind them and saw Squall with his guitar around his neck talking into the mike, "I don't mean to be rude but there are some single women here who want to know who is going to get married first," he said looking at them talking through the mic.
Nakada laughed and dragged Yoko along but not before he had put his glass down. When they were on the stage Nakada turned around and threw the bouquet of flowers behind her into the crowd of women behind her. There was a loud scream and she turned around just as she saw Jennah catch the bouquet. She smiled and looked at Yoko, "I guess we are going to be celebrating Jennah's wedding next."
Yoko nodded with a smile and looked at her, "Do you want to get ready?"
Nakada smiled and nodded as they left the stage heading to their bedrooms to get ready. Yoko was done first, he was dressed in his demon clothes because the last part of the ritual required having the couple to wear what makes them, them. Since he was a demon he wore the demon clothes he used to always wear. He looked at himself in the mirror but he frowned. This is what Nakada is going to be joined to…a demon. I can see why her father doesn't approve of this. But it is to late now.
"Are you saying you regret this?" He turned around and saw Nakada staring at him wide eyed and he quickly walked over to her holding her close his head on hers.
"No of course I don't regret this…it's just…" Yoko looked at the mirror and saw him and Nakada holding each other. His ears flattened to his head and he sat down on the bed his elbows on his knees and his hands covering his folded ears, "I'm beginning to see why you father didn't want me to be with you."
Nakada sighed and looked at the ceiling then sat down beside Yoko, "What my father says might hurt you Yoko but if you take his words seriously then they are going to hurt you even more and me as well."
He looked up at her and took her hand, "I would never willingly try to hurt you Nakada."
She smiled, "I know that but Yoko you are all I need in life to make my life happy. You weren't my first love I will admit it but that wasn't serious and I was only seven years old then and there were a few blind dates. But Yoko you were my first serious love, my first real kiss and the first person whoever got me to talk aloud about my feelings. There are something's you know that not even Jennah knows. The point is Yoko, I don't care what my father thinks of you. I do care though if you let it get to you and you start thinking the way he does."
Yoko cupped her face and smiled, "Thank you Nakada," and he leaned in to kiss her.
She gladly accepted the kiss and closed her eyes as she allowed him entrance, which he instantly took. When they broke apart Nakada began to finger the fabric on his shirt that opened up a bit to show his chest, "It has been a long time since I've seen you wear this," she looked at him and smiled, "And you still look so handsome and cute in it."
He smiled and held her close but their moment was short lived when they heard a knock on the door. They turned around and saw Laguna standing there smiling, "Hey there you two, just wondering if you were ready," he looked at Yoko a while and Yoko flattened his ears to his head and looked down. Laguna rubbed the back of his head and whistled, "Yoko this is the first time I've seen you like that. You should look like yourself more often it's really cool. Especially your ears…do you have a tail to with it all?" Yoko looked at him confused but he moved his tail so it was in plain view and Laguna smiled, "Well that pretty much well takes the cake. Like I said you should look like that more often." He went over to them, "Anyway I just came up to tell you if your ready so is everyone else."
With that he left and Yoko looked at Nakada, "Why couldn't you have stayed with him?" Nakada giggled, "I mean it he is so much better then your birth father."
"Oh Yoko come on," and they went back outside and onto the stage. Yoko was given a mic and then Nakada. She looked at him and smiled, "You ready?"
He smiled, "More ready then I have ever been in my life," and they began the song 'You took the words right out of my mouth' by Meatloaf. (Don't Own.)
Yoko On a hot summer night would you offer you throat to the with the red roses?
Nakada Will he offer me his mouth?
Yoko Yes
Nakada Will he offer me his teeth?
Yoko Yes
Nakada Will he offer me his jaws?
Yoko Yes
Nakada Will he offer me his hunger?
Yoko Yes
Nakada Again, will he offer me his hunger?
Yoko YES
Nakada And will he starve without me?
Yoko YES
Nakada And does he love me?
Yoko Yes
Nakada Yes
Yoko On a hot summer night will you offer you throat to the wolf with the red roses?
Nakada Yes
Yoko I bet you say that to all the boys
Yoko and Nakada put the mic down as the music began to start and they went onto the ground and started to dance as Squall began to sing.
It was a hot summer night and the beach was burning
There was a fog crawling over the sand
When I listen to your heart I hear the whole world turning
I see the shooting stars
Falling through your trembling hands
You were licking your lips and your lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
We were lying together in a silver lining
By the light of the moon
You know there's not another moment
Not another moment
Not another moment to waste
You hold me so close that my knees grow weak
But my soul is flying high above the ground
I'm trying to speak but no matter what I do
I just can't seem to make any sound
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh-it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And I swear it's true
I was just about to say I love you
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh-it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And I swear it's true
I was just about to say I love you
Yoko and Nakada were beginning to float into the air. He looked down as he held Nakada and then he let go and saw that he was floating alone. He looked at Nakada and they both smiled as they began to dance again to the music.
Now my body is shaking like a wave on the water
And I guess that I'm beginning to grin
Oooh, we're finally alone and we can do what we want to
The night is young
And ain't no one gonna know where you
No one gonna know where you
No one's gonna know where you've been
You were licking your lips and your lipstick shining
I was dying just to ask for a taste
We were lying together in a silver lining
By the light of the moon
You know there's not another moment
Not another moment
Not another moment to waste
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh-it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And I swear it's true
I was just about to say I love you
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
Oh-it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
And I swear it's true
I was just about to say I love you
And then you took the words right out of my mouth
It must have been while you were kissing me
Yoko took hold of Nakada placing his hands on her waist and looked down at her as she looked up at him placing her hands on his shoulders.
You took the words right out of my mouth
It must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
It must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
Before either of then knew what was happening they found themselves kissing each other passionately. Yoko gently nipped at her mouth and she smiled as she allowed him entrance. When she did Yoko began to feel some kind of energy flowing into him. He felt like he was getting stronger as he continued to kiss Nakada. Little did he know that all of Nakada's befriended elements, even fire was surrounding them and he was gaining all of her abilities and his to her.
It must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
It must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
It must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
It must have been while you were kissing me
The ball of elements burst out sending sparks all over the place and there was Yoko and Nakada flying there. Yoko had changed a lot and his spirit energy was off the charts. He had silver angel wings sprouting from his back and he had silver fins on his arms along with silver gills on his neck. His hair looked like a grey storm cloud that changed with his mood so right at the moment it was white but there were lightening bolts shooting from it. It also looked like there were branches growing around his arms and the air was spinning around both of them. Nakada looked the same way only she was ice blue instead of silver and she was in her animal form along with with the fish stuff. But they both had what looked like ice sounding their faces. They broke apart and opened their eyes showing a great amount of fire behind them (You will see later on maybe.)
Yoko looked down at himself while still holding Nakada close. He smiled when he looked at her and she did as well as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He went in for another kiss placing his hands at her sides but then wrapped them around her the whole way pressing her body to his.
You took the words right out of my mouth
It must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
It must have been while you were kissing me
Everyone began to clap in unison as the couple began to float down to the ground.
You took the words right out of my mouth
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
You took the words right out of my mouth
Oh it must have been while you were kissing me
(One little thing. If you have the song you should listen to it and read this at the same time while pausing it when it come to the explanations.)
The song was over as everyone looked at Yoko and Nakada as they began to end their kiss. Yoko raised his head and caressed her face, "Now if I can only find a trainer who will put up with me and show me how to use my new powers so I can protect my family."
Nakada smiled as she looked up at him, "I think I know someone who is available and I think you would like her."
"Really," he asked raising his eyebrow a little.
She giggled, "You should since you are married to her."
Yoko lowered his head and kissed her again and then said in her ear as he purred, "That I can definitely deal with."
