Chapter 20
The wedding
« Aoyama Masaya, will you take Momomiya Ichigo to be your beloved wife ?
« I will.
« Momomiya Ichigo, will you take Aoyama Masaya to be your beloved husband ?
« I will.
« I now pronounce you husband and wife. »
Masaya and Ichigo smiled to each other and kissed passionately on the lips. Around them resonated a thunderous applause.
« I love you, Ichigo » he whispered in her ear, and she laughed, tears shining in her eyes.
Sakura Momomiya was crying like crazy, her head buried in Shintaro´s chest ; as for him, he had to struggle not to cry too.
« That´s it ! That´s it ! Ichigo onee-chan and Aoyama onii-chan are married ! » Purin exclaimed with a cheerful voice.
And she started singing.
The sun was shining this Sunday morning. Everybody was reunited in the Momomiya´s garden.
Zakuro and Minto were sitting one next to the other on the first row. Ever since Zakuro came back from Shangai, they were inseparable. Minto was now living with her in her hotel and they would go back to China together – the young dancer would audition to have a part in the movie. Her love for Zakuro had cost her her inheritance and Genki, terribly ashamed, had totally abandonned her. But Minto didn´t care. She was finally with her love and that was all that really mattered.
The young bridesmaid Purin, her job done, flowers in her golden hair, was sitting on Taruto´s lap, and the young alien had his arms around her waist. Behind them, Heicha, Honcha, Lucha, Hanacha and Chincha were grinning and watching them with delight. They had accept Taruto as their new brother with no difficulty and were already talking about their marriage, even if they were still young. But the two of them didn´t mind with this idea. For now, they would just live together and see where life would lead them.
Retasu was standing next to Pai, smiling, and they were holding hands. The two of them too were happy together. Pai would accompany her in Thailand for her program, and she would help him to know Earth a little better. Then, after, he had decided to take her with him to his planet, let her discover it, and meet his family. Retasu´s parents had met him recently and thought, despite his unusually pointy ears, that he was perfect for their daughter.
Ryou was sitting next to Keiichiro, behind Zakuro and Minto. He was watching Ichigo with some nostalgia, but was pleased to see her happy after all. One day he would find someone too. Keiichiro had made all the cakes of the wedding and was staring at them right now, proud of his work : he knew he had done an excellent job.
As for Kisshu...
The young alien, who had fully recovered now, was sitting on the grass, a bit isolated from all the others. He was watching Ichigo, her bright face, her smile... she was happy, he thought. And... Aoyama´s happy too.
And seeing Ichigo happy made Kisshu grin. He was pleased.
She´s Aoyama´s princess, sure.
But she is my koneko.
He stood up and came back to the others. He had no reason to stay away from them. He belonged to this community.
Today was a happy day. No only for Masaya and Ichigo : but for everyone.
