~Sweet Decoy~

By: Aerys Krystie.

When Zero opened his eyes he was going to guess it was mid-afternoon. He stretched beneath the covers and pulled them up a little more. They were really soft and he would have to find out what Hitomi's secret was so he could use it. He didn't want his children sleeping under blankets that weren't as soft as their behind. He looked at the spot beside him and frowned.

"Ah, you're finally awake," Tsuki said as he moved onto his back and stared at Zero. "It's about time, too."

Zero blinked. "Why the fuck are you in the same bed as me? Please, please tell me this is a nightmare and I'm going to wake up in a few seconds, screaming like a little girl." Zero was hoping he would be screaming and he didn't care how girlish it was.

Tsuki raised an eyebrow. "I'm not under the covers, dipshit and I'm fully clothed so don't get your hopes up that I would sleep with you. Plus I wanted to talk to you about something. I know I can't go to Kaname about it, so I wanted to talk to you."

Zero frowned and sat up, staring down at the demon. Something was completely wrong. "Who are you and where's the real Kurenai Tsuki?"

Tsuki smirked. "The real Kurenai Tsuki is being tortured down here for selling his soul. Some of the things some people want in return for an eternity in hell are just pitiful at best." The demon got to his feet and stretched his arms above his head.

Zero didn't want to know what the real Kurenai Tsuki sold his soul for and was thankful he would never have to find out. Especially if the damned demon thought it was pitiful. "In that case, what the hell do you and I have to talk about? I don't like you, you don't like me. End of discussion."

"It's about the wedding."

Zero sighed. "Damn it. You're not thinking of bailing out on Yuuki, are you? Kaname might not be able to kill you but I'm sure he would take great pleasure in torturing you for breaking his little sister's heart. And anyway, I thought you were the one who suggested this date?"

Tsuki lowered his eyes and Zero didn't know what to think. It wasn't very often he got to see Tsuki so vulnerable looking. It made him wish he had a camera. "There's just a small problem that's going to happen on the honeymoon."

Zero ran a few scenarios through his mind. There was the apocalypse happening but Tsuki wouldn't be too worried about that. After all, he had uncles that were angels which could guarantee the safety of Yuuki and possible Hoshiko and Hideaki. There was the thought that the demon was impotent that but was as unlikely as the apocalypse happening. "Don't tell me you actually are gay!"

"Keep your voice down!" Tsuki hissed and narrowed his eyes, an embarrassed shade of crimson spreading over his cheeks and nose. "I don't want all of hell to know that!"

Zero's eyes widened and his mouth fell open. He stared at Tsuki as though the demon had grown a second head. He got over his shock and glared. "Why the fuck did you propose to Yuuki then? You've gotten her hopes up just to break it off and tell her that you're gay, too? I know you're a demon but you weren't meant to be this much of an asshole!"

Tsuki sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the curtains. "I know! I'm terrible! I didn't think she would accept the proposal and when she did, I was so confused that I let her go through with it. What was I meant to do? Things like this happen so suddenly."

"Suddenly?" Zero repeated. "You proposed to her nine months ago! If you weren't sure about it why did you continue to lead her on?"

Tsuki undid the buttons on his shirt and lowered it, revealing his back. "Because of this. I thought I would be able to do it for her…I guess I was wrong."

Zero stared at the demon's back with disbelief. He shook his head and eyed Tsuki suspiciously. "You're never wrong, though. You would've seen this in her future, considering you can't see your own." Something was really off with Tsuki and it was beginning to give Zero the creeps.

"Zero, you would not believe what I just heard in the kitchen," Kaname said as he entered the room. He paused and stared at Tsuki. "Why are you here?"

"Do you really need to ask that?" Tsuki asked from behind Kaname.

"Oh god! There's two of them!" Zero hopped out of the bed, using the sheet to give himself some sort of decency. His eyes flickered between the two demons. The one behind Kaname was holding the cookie jar and stuffing the biscuits into his mouth. The other one was staring at the other Tsuki like he had gone insane and was seeing himself. "This is confusing."

The Tsuki that was eating looked up. "No, it isn't, half-wit. Since when have I ever shown emotion to seeing myself? Taiyou doesn't count bec…" Tsuki dropped the jar and fell to his hands and knees, staring at the other him. "Taiyou…"

Taiyou smirked as Tsuki's bones began breaking and the demon gritted his teeth. "What's the matter, little brother?" Taiyou frowned as blood began trickling from Tsuki's mouth. "Why aren't you fighting back?" He leapt over the bed and kicked Tsuki across the face. "Fight back!"

Tsuki coughed up more blood and slowly got to his feet, glaring at the person that was once his brother. Kaname stood in front of him protectively. "You were the one that disguised yourself as Mikhail and took me to the Himalayas, aren't you?"

Taiyou smirked and still hadn't bothered to change his appearance. "Of course. That's why it took my baby brother so long to find you. When it comes to covering tracks, there's no-one that's better than I am. As I said before I left – not even my father would've been able to find you."

Tsuki's eyes narrowed and Taiyou lost his smirk as he tried to move and found his feet were glued to the spot. "You made me drop my cookies," he grounded out.

"He broke your bones but that's fine as long as you still had your cookies? Tsuki, you need to prioritize things a little better," Kaname said and stepped out of the way, standing beside Zero.

"You can try to do what you want to me, little brother. I know how close you are to the end."

"You underestimated me when we were six as well and you made me drop my cookies." Tsuki raised an eyebrow and Taiyou shifted nervously. "You know how much I love my cookies."

Zero frowned, trying to wrap his head around the fact that Taiyou would try and take on his little brother again. "That's all this is about? Cookies?"

"I thought Taiyou committed suicide after three months of being mortal? How is he able to look like you, Tsuki?" Kaname looked between the two of them and couldn't wait until there was only one of them left.

Tsuki smirked. "He made a deal. I know someone that wants to see you, Taiyou. Oh, Lucifer!"

Taiyou's eyes widened and he struggled against the hold that Tsuki had on him even more. He went boneless when Lucifer appeared in the room a second later. "Um…Hi, dad…"

Lucifer stared at Taiyou blankly and then his eyes flickered to the floor. "No!" he wailed. "What happened to the cookies? I was going to eat those!" He fell to his knees and picked up a few shards of porcelain, weeping. "What kind of a monster did this?"

Kaname and Zero glanced at each other. Maybe the cookie craving ran in the family. But seriously, they were only cookies. They could get more later on or make them appear out of nowhere as they always did. Wasn't the fact that Taiyou had found a demon stupid enough to take his soul in order to give him back his powers more important at the moment? It seemed to sink in when Lucifer got to his feet and glared at his former son.

"Why would you do that to the cookies? What did they ever do to you? They wanted to be eaten!"

Kaname and Zero hung their heads. It was going to be completely about the cookies. It was a little scary that two of the most powerful evil entities were more worried about cookies than saving the wedding or even making sure their grandchildren/nephews were safe. That might not be the case but that's what it looked like to the vampires.

"Great. I don't see you for seven hundred years and you're still as retarded as ever." Taiyou shook his head. "Forget about the cookies, damn it! I'm the one you should be worrying about."

Lucifer blinked. "No you aren't. Tsu-chan has like five months left to live, at the most and he's keeping you in place like it you're an inanimate object. If you manage to break the hold he has on you, then I'll start to worry. How's that? In the meantime, you can tell me what you had against those cookies!"

"Hey, Uncle Lucifer? Where are the cook –" Zophael broke off into a gasp. "I should've known you'd be here! Whenever you show up the cookies always disappear! Or you kill them. Like now. Cookie murderer!"

"They're fucking cookies, you idiots!" Zero snapped, glaring around the room. "Who gives a shit about cookies when some guy, who's meant to be dead, is walking around hell like he owns the place! Forget the damn cookies."

"Forget the cookies?" Lucifer, Tsuki and Zophael quipped together.

"Blasphemy!" Zophael shouted and punched Zero. "The cookies are what make the world go round. Think about that before you open your big mouth."

Kaname caught his unconscious partner and glared at Zophael. That was completely uncalled for. Not everyone was gaga over cookies. Though, just talking about them was giving the pureblood an unnatural craving for them. Especially chocolate chip ones. Or even one of the triple chocolate cupcakes that Yuuki made for him. He could've sworn he had one of those left. That was off-subject anyway.

Kaname laid Zero on the bed and stared at the Nephilim, the devil and the son of the devil. "So, is anyone going to do anything about the guy that took his frustration out on the cookies?" he asked them.

Lucifer shrugged and snapped his fingers. Taiyou became a puddle of blood on the floor, which evaporated. "Now, who's going to get me cookies?"

"Not it." Tsuki.

"Not it." Zophael.

"Not it?" Kaname repeated, an eyebrow raised as he glanced between Tsuki and Zophael.

"What?" Zero asked from the bed, sitting up and rubbing his temple when Zophael clocked him.

"Neither of them can get them. Lucian!" Tsuki blinked as Lucian and Lucius appeared in the room. "Whatever. Go up and get a lot of cookies. I mean a lot of cookies." Their eyes lit up and they disappeared from the room. Tsuki smirked. "Well, that should cut down some of the fights."

Lucifer, Tsuki and Zophael ran from the room and Kaname shook his head. He couldn't believe he was letting his sister marry that two year old. What was the big deal about cookies? "Awesome! Brownies are totally the new cookies!" Zophael declared happily with a plate of the delectable sweets in his hands.

"Hey, you guys want brownies? I would hurry, though." Tsuki grinned at them and ran off again.

Kaname looked at Zero and nodded. Something like that should be fine. After all, Zophael was right when he said that brownies were the new cookies. They went into the kitchen and froze. On every available surface was something chocolate. Chocolate cake, devil's food cake, brownies, chocolate ice-cream, more brownies, chocolate Bavarian, chocolate cheesecake and lastly, Yuuki's triple chocolate cupcakes and muffins. It was a dieter's worse – or best – dream in the one room.

Kaname watched as Tsuki ate almost everything that was within reach. It was like watching Homer Simpson at an all you can eat buffet. Except Tsuki was in one of those buffets and it didn't look as though he was going to be going home any time soon. Kaname got a slice of cake for Zero and sat down at the table. Alice came in with their children and handed them to him. If Yuuki saw the way her husband-to-be was acting it would terrify her.

"Good morning, Yuuki!" Hitomi greeted as she made pancakes and put them on a plate, handing them to the girl that just entered.

Yuuki accepted the pancakes and sat opposite of Kaname. "Have you guys seen Tsuki? He's been waking up extra early for some reason and its beginning to worry me." She poured syrup over the pancakes and froze. "Oh my gosh! Brownies!"

Zero finished his slice of cake and watched as his soon to be sister-in-law dive bombed a plate of the sweets and wrestled the guy that punched him for them. "What the hell is wrong with this picture, Kaname? Our children are in the middle of a mob scene."

Kaname sighed as soon as the last words left Zero's mouth. Marilyn Manson's mOBSCENE began playing and the pureblood was hoping no-one had heard his partner say that. And at the same time, the song suited the setting at the moment. Kaname got to his feet as Zophael was dropped like a sack of bricks. He saw Tsuki glaring at the half-angel.

"If my fiancé is fighting you for brownies, you give her the brownies. I might not be able to kill you but you're only a half-breed so my father will be able to. Mainly because of all the sins you've committed. Man, you almost put me to shame. Either way, don't mess with the girl or you deal with the demon." Tsuki handed the plate of brownies to Yuuki, who took them.

"There wasn't any reason to break his neck, Tsuki. You could've…Who am I kidding? The guy was an asshole." Yuuki sat the table again with her plate.

Kaname narrowed his eyes at Tsuki. "Are you teaching my sister that foul language?"

Tsuki shrugged. "Probably. Corrupting innocent people is something I do naturally, okay? Why do you think I never got that job as a first year teacher? I could only get second grade. They're way too corrupted by that age." Tsuki sat beside his fiancé and ate a brownie. "I want a ham sandwich."

Hitomi sighed and the table was cleared of the junk food and platters of cheeses, cured meats, bread and soup appeared. Tsuki's eyes lit up and Kaname turned his children's heads away, not wanting to them to see their uncle devour his meal without chewing. Less than ten minutes later, the platters were cleared and Tsuki sat back, complaining about still being hungry. Kaname shook his head.

Kaname handed Hoshiko to Zero and Hideaki to Yuuki. He grabbed Tsuki's arm and dragged the demon from the kitchen. "Do it. I'm not going to have my sister become a widow five months after her wedding. If you die that soon you won't even be around for the birth of your children."

"I didn't need your permission, Kuran. Besides, the soul of Justin Bieber should make up for it." Tsuki smirked.

"That gender confused boy? He sold his soul to you?"

Tsuki rolled his eyes, as though he couldn't believe how naïve Kaname was. "Well no shit! How else do you think he was able to reach fame so easily? Really, Kaname. Sometimes you give me reason to worry about you."

"I still can't believe you're taking some kid's soul!"

Tsuki shrugged. "He got fame, fortune and girls. I threw in the public ridicule for free. Along with more haters than fans."

Kaname thought it through. Fame, fortune and sex were the three most common ailments that someone sold their soul for. It seemed fair that he would take that soul. "Fine. But how much longer are you going to be stuffing yourself like that?"

"I was at that forsaken school for nearly a year, damn it. That's nearly a year worth of eating I have to make up for. Plus I need to kill five hundred people and reap their souls, now. Thank you, Bieber." Tsuki headed into the front hall with Kaname trailing. "I'm going to earth to do what I need to do. I should be back in time for the wedding. If you and Zero want, you can return to your home. There are no more threats." Tsuki smiled and slipped out the front door.

Kaname frowned. He didn't believe Tsuki, even if the demon was known for his honesty. What an oxymoron. He went back to the kitchen and quickly told everyone that Tsuki had gone to take care of some business before the wedding. Thankfully the demon's family knew what it was, Zero didn't care and Yuuki was too happy with the brownies to ask any further questions. Kaname took Hideaki back and snuggled the child. The wedding was three days away. Was that enough time for a demon to kill five hundred people? What the hell was he thinking? One day was more than enough time for a demon like Tsuki.

Kaname stood at the alter. The faux-church was completely packed. Most – all, minus twenty – were Tsuki's family. The preacher waited patiently and Kaname had no idea what the hell Tsuki was doing. The demon was meant to be beside Kaname seven minutes ago. It was the magical day and already things were going wrong. Ruka had gotten lost, apparently thanks to Aidou's terrible sense of direction and they were finally ported by Alice.

Thankfully everything had been going smoothly for Yuuki, minus the fact that one of her bridesmaid almost didn't make it. Kaname glanced at the guests and shook his head as Tsuki's family began making bets on if their uncle/cousin/nephew was going to show up. The pureblood was expecting that one but it was still shocking to see how much the demon's family believed in him.

The doors burst open and Kaname spun around. "Motherfucker!" Tsuki cursed as he came through backwards. Kaname groaned. "You cock sucking fucktard! This is my wedding and you're picking a fight with me now?"

Kaname's eyes widened as there was a roar. Tsuki was fighting with one of his pets? That would explain why his suit had a rip down the back. Kaname stepped down and went over to the demon. "What the hell is going on, Tsuki? My sister is about to walk through those doors and she does not need to see you like this."

Tsuki glared at Kaname. "You think I don't know that? You try telling Godzilla out there that his problem is going to have to wait until after the honeymoon."

"Godzilla isn't real, Tsuki. Holy shit, its Godzilla…" Kaname stared at the opening that the roof used to cover. Godzilla roared down at them.

Lucifer stood and straightened his tie. "I'll handle this, Tsu-chan. You just worry about getting married in the next twenty minutes." Lucifer walked out of the church and with the roof missing, Kaname couldn't tell if the devil was making things better or worse.

Tsuki ran his hands through his hair, making it messier than it was. The rip on his jacket stitched itself together and he and Kaname took their places at the alter. "After facing a pissed off Godzilla, getting married doesn't make me as nervous as it did last night."

Kaname narrowed his eyes. "Last night you go so trashed you forgot what we were celebrating."

Tsuki opened his mouth to retort when the doors opened and he spun around, expecting Yuuki. It didn't surprise him when his father walked in, his Armani suit shredded and a pocket-sized Godzilla on his shoulder. The devil smiled and gave his son the thumbs up for the wedding to continue before taking his seat again. Kaname just shook his head.

Everything settled down as they waited. The guests were whispering to each other and the priest was checking his watch every few seconds, muttering something about being late for his fishing trip. Someone was chewing gum and blowing bubbles as they would occasionally pop loudly. Kaname realized he was holding his breath and released it. Where was Yuuki?

Kaname glanced at the priest's watch and shifted nervously. For the last nine months all Yuuki could talk about was her wedding and how wonderful the ceremony was going to be. There was no way in the world that she would be late for it. Hoshiko and Hideaki began to cry. Kaname glanced at Zero and the Hunter nodded. They excused themselves and went to one of the chambers where Yuuki was getting dressed. All her maids were at the alter. So why wasn't she? Was she getting cold feet?

Kaname knocked on the door. Nothing. He couldn't even hear anyone moving around in the room and that worried him more. "Yuuki?" he called through softly, knocking again. There wasn't anything. He tried the handle. The door opened and Kaname stuck his head in. The old oak slab swung open and the pureblood stared at the mess that the room was in. "Yuuki!"

Zero stepped into the room. He looked behind the screen and jumped back, knocking it over. "Oh god…"

Kaname stepped up beside his partner and stared down at the mauled body of his sister. "Yuuki!" Her throat was missing. Her chest was ribbons. Kaname felt his throat tighten. Why couldn't anyone save her? "Yuuki!"

"Kaname."

"Yuuki!"

"Kaname, wake up!"

Kaname opened his eyes. The bedside lamp was on and Zero was staring down at him with concern. Kaname sat up and rubbed his eyes. What a horrible dream. "Sorry if I woke you, Zero."

Zero shook his head and wrapped his arms around Kaname's shoulders. "It doesn't matter. I think you're the only one that has any worries left of the wedding. Yuuki and Tsuki are perfectly happy about it. By the way, Tsuki's feeding Hoshiko and Hideaki." Zero pulled back slightly and gazed at Kaname. "Are you nervous about today?"

Kaname smiled. Tsuki wasn't nervous and neither was Yuuki. Why should he worry about what could go wrong? The devil, three archangels and Tsuki were going to be there. There wasn't anything that could go wrong. "I guess I am a little. My sister is getting married." He lowered his eyes slightly. "And she is marrying into a family that consists of demons and gambling angels."

"Every family has its faults, Kaname. Don't hold it against the damn demon's because his happens to be the epitome of vanity and arrogance. Tsuki isn't all bad. Alice is nice, too. Lucian is a thrill seeker. Okay, the majority of Tsuki's nieces and nephews are thrill seekers. Anna-Marie and Sha-Kara seem like nice girls. And I'm sure that when Toisha is old enough she'll be a nice person, too."

Kaname nodded. "Hitomi-sama is a great mother-in-law, too. She loves our children as though they were Tsuki's and…" He trailed off and stared at a point on the wall behind Zero's head. He didn't realize just how harsh he had been on the demon's family.

The conversation he had with Gabriel came back to his mind and Kaname bit the inside of his lip. Was he really that selfish? Tsuki's family had been doing everything they possibly could to help out with the wedding. They booked some of the best florists. They even got a world known cake maker to do the cake for the special day. Yuuki's dress was made of the finest silk as Tsuki wanted her to feel like the princess she is. True, a lot of the things that were being done for the wedding were things that could be conjured up but Lucifer and Tsuki were making sure everything that needed to be paid for was being paid.

"What's wrong, Kaname?" Zero inquired, his eyebrows knitting together in worry. He didn't like it when Kaname's mind wandered the way it just had.

Kaname sighed. "I was thinking about the first time I met Gabriel. I really can't believe how selfish I've been the past nine months. Yuuki has been dying to share something as important as her wedding with me and all I could think about was having a load of demons as my family."

"They aren't just any demons, Kaname. They're the offspring of the devil and they're more than a handful. Can you imagine how our kids would turn out if we let Tsuki raise them for a month? They would be able to take over the world. Tsuki is very proud of his ability to corrupt innocence." Zero frowned and gazed at the door. "Why have we left our children with him, again?"

"Because I am awesome. They're asleep and we have a few hours before we're meant to be awake," Tsuki answered from the door.

Kaname got to his feet. "Tsuki –"

"If you say what you're thinking I'll gut you where you stand. I always knew that you would have a hard time accepting me as your family, Kaname. Especially considering you only just got your sister back and now she's changing her name." Tsuki turned his head and walked down the hall. He returned a few moments later with a club sandwich.

"I'm not even going to ask where you got that from. And why are you still eating so much? I thought you took care of what had to be done?" Kaname eyed Tsuki cautiously as the demon ate the sandwich in three bites.

Tsuki snorted. "That doesn't make me any less hungry. A year without food isn't something that's easy to do, you know. At least I'm not putting on weight, though. Some of us have been letting ourselves go more than others." Tsuki stared pointedly at Kaname.

The vampire blinked and glanced between Tsuki and Zero. "Are you trying to say I'm gaining weight?"

Tsuki shrugged. "We didn't want to say anything, which is why we said something."

"I've been under a lot of stress lately, okay? I've been carrying a family and gaining a new one."

Tsuki shook his head, unable to believe how perfectly it all fell into place. "Where have you been carrying the family to, the buffet?" Tsuki raised an eyebrow. "I'm joking, Kaname. You look great for someone that'll never be a grandfather." The demon turned away from them. "By the way, you're out of food. So I'll take my leave now."

Kaname watched as Tsuki disappeared from the house and turned to Zero. The Hunter shook his head. "Don't bother trying to understand him, Kaname. You know you'll only get a headache from it. I've seen you attempt it many times. So what did his hunger have to do with anything?"

"It was something we talked about a few days ago. I think we should try to get some more sleep before the big ceremony." Kaname got under the covers and waited for Zero. When his partner was in, he pulled him close and turned off the lamp.

"Are you still worried about it?" Zero asked quietly.

"As long as Godzilla doesn't show up," Kaname replied and closed his eyes, missing the frown that Zero gave him.

Tsuki walked past the gifts that were piled high on the table. He touched each brightly wrapped box and made a mental decision on what was going to happen to them. Going on eBay. Going on eBay. Going to the homeless. Going on eBay. Going on eBay. Going straight into the trash. Going on eBay. He would give the guests credit. After all, what can you give someone who can make anything they want from nothing? He looked down at an envelope and tilted his head. Kaname and Zero adopted a panda for them? That was sweet.

Tsuki stepped away from the presents and took a tray of appetizers. He looked up when there was giggling as Kaname stepped out of Yuuki's dressing room. The vampire joined him. "How are things going in there?"

"Perfectly!" Kaname declared happily. "What were you doing with the presents before? Oh. You were touching them to see what they were, weren't you?"

"Of course. Lucifer got us a fucking blender. What the hell is a blender used for, anyway? If you want a smoothie, it's much easier to buy one than to make a mess of the kitchen." Tsuki shook his head.

"Tsuki-kun, you look really handsome." Kaien smiled at the demon. The honor of being asked to give Yuuki away was still radiating off his being.

"Ah…Thanks, Kaien. So do you?" Tsuki glanced at Kaname who shrugged. "Anyways, I should probably make sure that none of my family are trying to kill the new Council." Tsuki stepped into the room that held the alter. "Son of a bi ––"

Kaname smiled as Zero walked up to him. He took Hideaki from the Hunter's arm. "At least it's all going smoothly. Godzilla hasn't shown up. Yuuki looks like a princess in her dress and even Lucifer is behaving himself."

"Damn it, Lucifer!"

"Was behaving himself," Kaname corrected. In his mind, hidden from Zero's thoughts, Kaname was grateful that things had gone back to normal. Hearing Tsuki refer to Lucifer as father and calling him dad was just too weird.

"I heard that, Kaname," Lucifer and Tsuki called out.

Zero raised an eyebrow but shook his head. "What is it with you and Godzilla at the moment? How can a monster, that doesn't exist, destroy a wedding?"

Kaname stepped up to the doors and looked out over the guests. Alice and Lucian were holding Hoshiko and Hideaki. "Maybe because when you know someone like Tsuki the impossible is made possible. I'm keeping an open mind so whatever happens won't take me by surprise."

"Who just shed their skin?" Tsuki demanded, as he picked up a skin from the floor and looked around at the guests. None of them owned up to it and the bundle of cells disappeared from the demon's hands.

"I'll admit I wasn't expecting that one," Kaname said as he and Zero walked up to the altar and took their positions.

Zero looked over his shoulder when Hideaki gurgled happily as Lucian bounced him on his leg. "I guess I should stop thinking of those demons as evil bastards. Hoshiko and Hideaki seem to really love them."

Kaname followed his lover's gaze and smiled. "Alice and Lucian are really good with them. I'm surprised that Hoshiko has taken to Annahlyza so well. He usually acts up if it isn't Alice that's holding him."

Zero took a deep breath and looked away. "Seeing as Alice is one of the bride's maids, I don't think he has much of a choice. Do you think that maybe we were a little harsh in judging them because they're demons and related to the devil?"

"Yes!" And that was the one worded answer from all of Tsuki's family, including the angels and Nephilims. Even Lucifer and Hitomi joined in. The other side of the chapel, which seated Yuuki's non-blood-related family jumped at the sudden and loud word, exchanging glances with each other.

Ruka came down the aisle, grinning happily. Kaname was relieved to see that she had finally gotten over her crush on him and decided that Kain was a good person and someone she could see herself settling down with. She told the priest that Yuuki was ready and the organ player began playing. Kaname looked around, wondering where Tsuki was.

Lucifer suddenly got to his feet. "Tsu-chan! Stop eating and get your ass here! Your bride is about to walk down the aisle!"

Tsuki appeared in his place beside Kaname, wiping his mouth on a napkin, which he tucked into the pocket of his pants. He shook his hair over his shoulder and turned to the side, staring at the double doors, waiting for Yuuki to walk in. Tsuki's nephew, Kael, walked in with his niece, Savira, who was tossing red and white rose petals in the air as she walked. Kael held a white cushion with powder blue lining in his hands, holding the rings.

Sayori walked in, followed by Alice. They took their positions and the organ began playing the wedding march. Tsuki smiled as his heart began racing. It was going to happen. He was going to be with her forever or at least until she was killed. Which was something he wasn't going to think about. His eyes lit up when Yuuki entered, Kaien on her arm. She looked like a princess. The dress was simple white silk that was off the shoulders and was of loose material. The skirt fell to the floor and accentuated her hips slightly. Her long hair had been curled and piled up high on her head, a few wisps falling and framing her petite face. Tsuki felt like he was in a dream.

Kaien walked Yuuki down the aisle. As she got closer, she grinned at her husband-to-be. Her own heart was thumping against her ribs. They got to the end and the preacher looked over his half-glasses at Kaien. "Who gives this woman away?" he asked, staring at Kaien.

The ex-Hunter grinned. "I do," he said happily and kissed Yuuki's cheek through the veil, taking a seat beside Ruka on the first pew of Yuuki's side.

The priest nodded, a soft smile on his face. "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Kurenai Tsuki and Kuran Yuuki in holy matrimony." He beckoned Kael closer and Tsuki took the ring, positioning it on Yuuki's finger. "Kurenai Tsuki, do you swear to love, honor and cherish Yuuki, in sickness and in health, 'til death do you part?"

"I do," Tsuki answered as he pushed the ring on, half-smiling shyly at Yuuki.

"Kuran Yuuki, do you swear to love, honor and obey Tsuki, in sickness and in health, 'til death do you part?" he inquired as she positioned the ring on Tsuki's finger.

"I do," she replied and slipped the ring on, holding his hands in hers and grinning at him.

The preacher gazed over the crowd. "If anyone knows why these two should not be joined, speak now or forever hold your peace." The priest ignored the way Tsuki glared over his shoulder, daring someone to speak up. After a minute, he nodded. "I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride," he told Tsuki.

The demon lifted Yuuki's veil and lent forward, pressing his lips to hers. The chapel broke out into a series of cheers, applause and congratulations. Lucifer hugged Hitomi as he cried more than the demon's mother. Kaien was going through a box of tissues. Kaname and Zero smiled, glancing at the other and taking their hands. Tsuki and Yuuki broke apart, grinning at each other as they turned and walked down the aisle. Sayori and Kaname were next. Then Alice and Zero and finally Kael and Savira.

They adjourned to the room that the reception was being held in. Kaname took Hoshiko from Annahlyza and thanked her for looking after him. Annahlyza smiled and ran over to Aneesina. Lucian stood beside Kaname as Zero went to the buffet that had been restocked after Tsuki went through it. He looked over the guests and saw that the Vampire Council was speaking with a few demons. It was good to see people mingling so well.

Lucian readjusted Hideaki on his hip and looked at Kaname. "Thank you," he said with a sincere smile on his face.

Kaname blinked. He was used to Lucian smirking or grinning like he had just done something. "For what?"

Lucian's eyes slid over to where Tsuki and Yuuki were, getting their picture taken. His smile changed and Kaname shook his head as the demon walked off. Kaname tensed when Mikhail took Lucian's place. He was still weary of the demon, even though it was Taiyou disguised as him. Mikhail's body had healed well from the torture he was put through and only had one scar across his nose, which made telling him and Kyrien easier.

"Thank you for allowing our uncle to be happy," the demon said and glanced at Kaname. "Of course, if you do something to fuck it up, I'll take great pleasure in killing you."

Kaname sighed and went over to the table was reserved for the bridal party and groomsmen. He took a seat and was joined by Zero a few moments later. "Mikhail just spoke to me. It was strange, considering we only used to exchange one word at every meeting." He placed Hoshiko on his knee and bounced the baby gently as he watched Yuuki get her picture taken with Savira, Alice and Sayori.

Zero followed Kaname's eyes and smiled. "She looks happy, doesn't she?" Kaname nodded in agreement, a gentle curve to his lips as he looked at his sister. "Is that…is that Tsuki smiling?"

Kaname blinked at where Tsuki was, with Kyrien and Nyx. Both of them were slapping him on the back and they looked to be having a good time. And yes, Tsuki was indeed grinning. The smile reached his eyes and made them sparkle. "I guess even the son of the devil can be truly happy on his wedding day as well. I wonder if he ever got as far as proposing to Constance…"

Zero tilted his head. "Who's Constance?"

"She was a vampire but not anymore. She doesn't matter. The only person Tsuki will think of is Yuuki and he had better keep it that way." Kaname raised an eyebrow. For such a happy day there seemed to be a lot of threats in the air.

"I don't think anyone else will enter his mind. At least not until he has children." Zero chuckled and took Hoshiko from Kaname's knee.

The room went silent suddenly and there was a roar that Kaname was hoping he wouldn't hear on that day. He got to his feet. "I knew Godzilla would show up! I just knew it!" he declared, looking around when Tsuki's family burst into hysterical laughter and money was exchanged. Across the room, Tsuki smirked at the vampire.

"That's what you get for speaking of me with a threatening tone."

Kaname groaned and sank into his chair. "I should've known that Tsuki would do something like this to me." Kaname looked up when Zero placed a hand on his shoulder.

"It could've been worse, Kaname. Godzilla could've ruined Yuuki's special day." Zero offered a smile and it was returned. He lent forward and pecked Kaname on the lips.

"Groomsmen! You're needed for the picture!" the photographer called, which was one of Tsuki's nieces. Aura, if Kaname remember correctly.

Kaname and Zero joined Tsuki and Kael, after Zero handed Hoshiko to Annahlyza again. They stood beside the demon and their picture was taken. The bridal party joined them and the pictures were taken. After that, the cake was cut and more pictures were taken. Aura disappeared into crowd and began taking random photos of the guests.

Speeches were made and the night drew to an end. Most of the guests had left an hour before. All that remained were Tsuki, Yuuki, Kaname, Zero, Lucifer, Hitomi, Kyrien, Mikhail, Alice, Hoshiko and Hideaki. Alice and Yuuki were in a discussion about something. Tsuki was talking to his mother before they decided it was time for them to leave as well. They got into a horse-drawn carriage and rode off, waving. Kaname looked at Zero and smiled with relief. It was a perfect beginning. He hoped everything continued on like that for Tsuki and Yuuki – especially Yuuki and the birth of her children.

End Chapter III.

Sweet merciful crap! Two updates in under a week? Am I fucking god or what? WORSHIP THE BROWNIE!
So, that's the wedding over and done with! Next chapter will be like a year or more from now. Probably more than a year as I want Tsuki and Yuuki's children to be Geminis. I'm funny like that, okay? :P
I've already started Sweet Dictator and I know I've said it many times but it WILL revolve mainly around the children - Hoshiko, Hideaki, Ritsuko and Shiori. I don't even know how the hell I came up with those names. *shakes head*

Anyways, onto the best part of any story!

Vampire Lover 4ever n ever: I hope you enjoyed this update! Thanks so much for that review and hope to hear for ya again!

WitchWoman: Oh, don't worry about it, please! I know that people have lives outside of fanfiction...What's a life? Anyways, thanks so much for that review! I laughed so freaking hard when I read it. I now have half a mind to put them on Jerry Springer! Hope to hear from ya again!

ben4kevin: Tsuki is like that. He tends to grow and manipulate and corrupt and eventually suck a person dry. I'm glad you like him. He's even beginning to grow on me. Hope to hear from ya again! Thanks for that review!

ElheiM: Yeah that's my all-time favorite line when it comes to demons and hell breaking loose on earth. You just know that Lucifer would be pissed if someone else tried to make their own hell. And if it pisses daddy off, of course it's gonna piss Tsuki off, too. Can't wait to hear from ya again!

mpiedz: Tsuki just tested his luck a little too often and it finally came back to bite him on the ass. Hope you enjoyed this chapter and can't wait to hear from again!

To everyone who has alerted/favorited: Thanks and I hope this update was worth it!

To everyone else: ...I have no idea what to say...

Okies and since you're all probably wondering, Tsuki was very elusive with his reply to Kaname about taking care of the problem, so I'm just gonna say that nothing is set in stone. I haven't fully decided if I'm going to bump him off or not. I know many of you love him (because face it, he is such a lovable asshole!) and don't want to see him go but...maybe he will and maybe he won't.
And I've decided that the next chapter will be after Ritsuko and Shiori are born (obviously with my previous message) and that'll make Hoshiko and Hideaki about eighteen months then. So I hope you're all looking forward to that!

Until the final chapter, have a great one!

Peace!
