The temple of Izumo was filled with people. Everybody was waiting for a ceremony to start. Yoh, Ren and Horo were standing by the altar. Ren looked to Yoh.

"You ready for this?" Yoh shrugged shoulders.

"Guess so. What?"

"You look nervous" Yoh smiled with a sheepish smile.

"Wonder how you'll look like on your wedding day" Ren almost blushed.

"I'll be standing peacefully and I won't be smiling with that idiotic smile of yours" Yoh only laughed. Sorry, Yoh. I don't have anything against you, but I see Hao as a better prospect to Anna.

At the same time, the guards of Hao's house talked.

"Hey, when does the ceremony start?" one of them asked.

"It should by now" another looked at the watch. "Wanna go for a snack? I'm starving" the other guy looked around.

"Sure" What they didn't know was that another person listened to them. A figure jumped through the window and ran towards the car. The engine started quietly and a car drove to the heart of a city…

Anna walked in the temple. Her face looked as if it was made of stone and her eyes pierced everything more dangerous that usual. Her grip around the bouquet was tight, so that her knuckles were almost white. Everybody stood up, amazed by Anna's beauty, because white color suited her so much, that she looked as if she was an angel from heaven. Yoh's eyes widened. He never saw her in white and she looked like a delicate nephrite statue, which was easily broken. What the hell I'm supposed to do with this beauty? He wondered. Anna closed to him and gave him her hand. They both faced the priest who entered at the time Anna did. The priest started to say his speech, something about marriage being built on love… Like I didn't know that. Jeez, why the hell this happened to me? What did I do? Anna tried to shake these thought away, but they just kept coming. The priest now mumbled something about loyalty and devotion, without which the marriage is impossible. With this hand, I shall lift your sorrows, your cup will never empty. Echoed in Anna's head. For I will be your vine. Anna closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them again, but once again an old vows came to her head. With this candle I will light your way in darkness. Anna looked to her wedding ring. With this ring, I ask you to be mine. Anna looked up again to the priest. Now he was saying how important are the love and devotion to the couple and how this union is not to be broken. I never broke mine! I always was loyal to my love! I never betrayed him and now I'm doing the biggest mistake in my life! Why this cannot stop right away! A priest addressed to the public.

"If somebody knows any reason why this man and this woman cannot be married, speak now, or forever hold your peace" Anna closed her eyes. Someone, please! Help me, someone! A voice pierced the silence.

"I do" Anna opened her eyes. She knew this voice to well. "I know the reason they cannot be married" Anna turned to the speaker and her eyes filled with the tears of happiness. Hao.

"I told you not to interfere in this matter" Mikihisa stood up, but Hao paid no attention to him. He was looking to Anna.

"If you looked closer, you'll see a white-gold ring around her finger, which is made by the monks of Osorezan temple and is unique. I have the same ring. We married at Osorezan and nothing can undo what has been done" a silence fell on the temple, but this time it was tense and predicted storm.

"Is this true?" Yoh asked, looking to Anna. She stared back, her eyes still full of tears.

"Yes, Yoh. We really are married. We didn't tell anyone, because, well, it was dangerous. I'm sorry" She truly was, because Yoh had done nothing to her. It was Mikihisa who hurt her so much. Anna took a bracelet from her bouquet and ran to Hao. Next minute, while everyone were still shocked, they ran from the temple, jumped into Hao's convertible car and drove to the airport. Yoh just looked after them. He learnt his lesson of lifetime. Nothing can stop love from breaking down the walls…

Hao and Anna were driving to the airport. Anna rested her head on Hao's shoulder and he wrapped his arm around her waist. A wind played with their hair, making them mix.

"I thought everything's lost" Anna spoke first. Hao caressed her back.

"Everything's fine now. Nobody will stop us"

"Where're we going?"

"To the airport of course. We're going to Harvard, remember?" Anna took a breath of relief and smiled.

"You're my angel" she whispered.

"And you're mine…"

When they entered the airport, everybody's eyes were fixed on them. They looked as if they were just married. And so they felt. Anna and Hao went pass the gate, where they were congratulated by an officer. They entered the plane. The stewardess brought them champagne as a gift from a crew. Hao and Anna laughed to each other. They clinked with the glasses and drank for their happiness. Now they could relax and enjoy themselves.

"Hao, what about my stuff and where are we supposed to live?" suddenly Anna asked. Hao just smiled to her and kissed her as the plane rose to the air.

"I sent your stuff yesterday. Oh and I brought us a flat" Anna laughed.

"You think of everything, don't you?"

"Yes. Especially when the things are focused on a woman I love" Anna kissed him.

"Good. How're your wounds?" Hao shrugged shoulders.

"Fine. It hurts a bit when I put it under water, but I'll live through it" Anna ran her back-hand through Hao's cheek softly.

"You lived through enough" Hao smiled lovingly.

"Well, we don't have to care anymore about the past. Now it's only future. Besides, we need to thank another few people" Anna rose her eyebrow.

"Who?"

"Ren, Horo, Pirika and Tammy. They should be very happy now, since they helped me very much"

"I see…"

And they sure were. After 'ceremony', when everybody departed, the four almost danced a victory dance.

"Did you see Mikihisa's face?" Horo asked through the tears of laugh.

"Yeah, he almost went green" Pirika laughed as Ren hugged her around the waist.

"Well, since we all are going to America to study, we'll be able to visit our love-birds" he said sarcastically, but with a pleasant smile. He was happy for Hao and Anna. Tammy smiled.

"I wish them good luck" she looked to the clear blue sky, like those words really reached the couple on a plane…

That's what love can do, if you love enough and more…
