What's Yours is Mine!
Kai was pacing. Pacing back and forth, with a balled up fist pushed up against his lips. Tsuki felt like she was gonna get sick just watching his motions. Kai brought Tsuki up to her room to discuss some important matters concerning her and him. They had been up there for half an hour. They weren't discussing, yet, Tsuki was just watching Kai pace who in turn looked completely troubled.
"…Kai…" Tsuki said his name slowly.
"I think you should come and sit down…I think if you continue to pace, I'm gonna be sick and we won't be able to 'discuss' whatever you want to 'discuss'" Kai stopped pacing and looked at Tsuki. He walked towards her and took a seat beside her.
"…My grandfather doesn't approve…of us…" Kai continued to look at Tsuki who just raised her eyebrow in return and replied:
"This…this is what has you all worked up? You're joking right?"
"The approval or the worked up part?" Questioned Kai hoping in wasn't the latter; he really didn't want to explain why he was worked up. He didn't care if his grandfather approved or not, it was keeping up with Ryu that had him stressed. The boy was perfect! Even Kai knew that. He couldn't find one single fault that the guy had, not one! And it was driving him mad!
"Both!" Came Tsuki's response. "I thought you said that you could care less if your grandfather approved or not, and here you are getting all worked up about it! Is this why you were stressed out last week when you came back from your gramps place?" Sheesh!Tsuki thought that Kai was going to tell her that he was having an affair with another woman! Good thing that wasn't the case.
xSighx "Tsuki, I could care less about grandfather's approval, really! That's not the reason I'm stressed out…it's…something else…something that you wouldn't understand."
"…Oh…" Came Tsuki's response.
xSighx "Things have been a little hectic lately…and…I just need to settle everything before our wedding." Kai got up and walked towards the window. Tsuki shortly followed.
"…Hmmm…"
"Don't worry, I won't let anything mess our wedding up kay? I know you want everything to turn out perfect…and I'll make sure it does…nothing's gonna mess up your day." Kai turned towards Tsuki and brought her closer to him, resting his head on top of hers.
"…But…it's your wedding day too…" Came the quiet reply.
"…Yeah…but it's mostly centered around the bride…which I'm thankful for. I don't think I could handle the attention."
"He…he…hehehe…yea…the vein on your head begins to throb when all the attentions on you." Tsuki buried her face in his chest to muffle the laugh.
"…"
"What? It's true!" Tsuki looked up at Kai who looked down at her. Leaning up Tsuki was met with soft lips, closing her eyes; she relaxed into the kiss…
→ Wedding Rehearsal
Kai was nowhere to be found. He said he had another meeting with his grandfather and would be running a little late. Nope. It wasn't a little late. Nope. It was already six in the afternoon; the rehearsal should have started an hour ago. Tala was sleeping, using Renée's lap as his pillow. Tyson was whining about starving to death while Hilary threatened about beating him to death if he didn't shut up. Kage was looking beyond pissed muttering about how if Kai couldn't show up on time for a wedding rehearsal what makes it so sure he'd show up if his baby sister was giving birth to his niece or nephew. Max, Rei, and Ryu started to play 'Go Fish' with the cards Max happened to have. Mr. Kishuko just watched as the restless young adults tried to entertain themselves. Lastly, Tsuki was looking a little more depressed with each passing second. Ryu feeling bad dropped his cards, got up and sat next to her, trying to cheer her up. Even the preacher looked restless.
"Maybe we should replace the groom to be, temporarily, until he gets here." Suggested the preacher. Everyone looked at each other. Tala who was now awake was looking at everyone with a dazed look.
"Why not Ryu." Suggested Kage. It was such an innocent request and no one else wanted to do it, afraid if Kai were to walk in any second he'd strangle the pretend groom, all looked towards Ryu who gave all of them a 'you gotta be kidding me' look.
"Hah! Funny guys, so…where's the 'just playin' Ryu' anyone?" Ryu's face fell dramatically when all he got were serious faces, even Tyson looked serious.
"Uh-uh…no way! Kai's gonna kill me!" Protested Ryu, but stopped seeing how depressed Tsuki was. She didn't even look like she was paying attention.
"…Fine. But if Kai kills me, I'm gonna murder each and every one of you" Ryu Replied pointing his pointer finger at each person for an added effect.
"All right! Shall we get started?" Asked the preacher.
→ With Kai
"Shit! I'm really late! Tsuki's gonna kill me!" Kai just left the mansion a few minutes ago. He's grandfather asked Kai again to give Aya a chance, get to know her before he got married to Tsuki or her as he put it. He couldn't even say her name!
'Why can't he just understand that I don't want to get to know Aya, I'm satisfied with Tsuki! That old man needs to get a life.' Kai was brought back from his thoughts as he made a sharp exit that lead to the wedding chapel. Kai parked his black Lamborghini and headed towards the back of the chapel where the rehearsal was being held. What he saw when he opened up the doors that lead to garden, was what he called his 'living worst nightmare'! Everyone was at his or her places, except him who was replaced by Ryu, who right now was going to be buried six feet under because he was lip-locked with his wife to be. Kai turned and left that instant, ignoring Tsuki's pleas of 'wait' 'let me explain'. Kai for once in his life, felt like crying. He felt…broken, torn apart into tiny pieces. He felt like his whole world came crashing down, she was his whole world…but it seemed Ryu beat him… 'Damn! When I thought everything was gonna be alright…this happens…why…? Why...'
Kai subconsciously, because he was preoccupied with stopping the tears, got into his car and was about to speed off but stopped so quick he could of sworn his head would of cracked if his head had made an impact with the wheel if his seat belt wasn't on. There in front of his car was Tsuki. She was completely pale with her mouth agape.
"Good God Tsuki! What the hell do you think your doing?!" Yelled Kai stepping out of his car to see if she was alright.
"…I…I…" Tsuki turned to Kai, still completely pale. Kai looked furious. If she wasn't still shaken up about nearly being hit with the car then she would of high-tailed it outta there.
"Well?!" Barked Kai.
"I…I can…I can explain everything…" Tsuki's color began to slow return. Taking deep breaths Tsuki looked at Kai again.
"…" Kai began walking away. "There's nothing to explain, I saw what I saw."
"But…you don't even know what happened!" Protested Tsuki.
"…There's nothing to tell! You like the guy right! Then why don't you just marry him right there! No one was stopping you! Heck! I won't even stop you!" Kai turned, closing his eyes to try to stop the already forming tears. Feeling a hand on his arm, he turned to look at Tsuki. She had her bangs hovering over her eyes.
"…Don't…please…don't say that…please…" Her voice was above a whisper, Kai had to strain to hear her.
"…Then what do you want me to say…do you want me to say that it's alright. That I don't care! Cause frankly, I do! No matter what I do Tsuki…he's always going to be one step ahead of me…heck…he 'pretend' married you first…there's no point…he'll always be better." Kai again began to walk away.
"…That's not true…It's not true…" Kai stopped and turned to Tsuki who still hadn't looked up at him, but he didn't need to look her in the eyes to confirm what he saw…she was crying…crying…Kai fully turned to face her now. He hated seeing her cry. He hated it! But she didn't deserve to cry, it should be him who was crying…not her…she didn't have her heart ripped out of her chest, she didn't….she didn't feel the pain that he felt…so she had no right…but there she was…crying.
"…" Kai just stared at her; he didn't know what to do. Part of him wanted to leave and never look back, but the other…just wanted to stay and make her smile again. He didn't know what to do anymore.
"…I'm sorry…I'm sorry that I'm crying…I shouldn't be…but…I can't help it…" Kai looked up. Kai always wondered how she did that, how she knew what he was thinking.
"…"
"…He's not better than you Kai…your just fooling yourself…if he was better than you…do you think…I'd be marrying you…it's not true." Tsuki lifted her head, the tears gone. Kai looked away, unable to look her in the eyes. He knew she was walking towards him, but…his feet wouldn't budge. She was already in front him, yet Kai wouldn't turn. He felt her hand caress his face, taking hold of it and turning it until he found himself looking into her eyes.
"…I'm sorry…that kiss…it wasn't suppose to happen. I'm not going to say 'it's not what it looks like' because that'd be bullshit…but I am going to say it meant nothing. It was the 'spur of the moment'. To tell you the truth, I thought of you when Ryu and I kissed…but then…I realized…it wasn't you…I'm sorry…" With that said, Tsuki turned and began to walk away. Kai just stood there, looking at the spot she once stood. Kai did the unthinkable; he smiled; looking up he saw that Tsuki was almost at the door. Kai bolted towards her; he grabbed her arm causing her to turn to look at him with a shocked look.
"…Wait…" It was his turn to call out to her. She stopped and turned to him, eyes wide as saucers. Kai began to raise his hand. Tsuki closed her eyes thinking 'Oh no! He's gonna hit me!' Instead, found soft lips against her own while feeling hands grab hold of her waist. She relaxed. Happy that he didn't leave her. She thought he would, and she didn't blame him if he did, but there he was, kissing her…like this was their last time together…
→ With the others
"They're kissing!" Whispered Tala, who was peeking through the crack of the door. He heard everyone give a relief sigh.
"…Do you think Kai's gonna kill me if he sees me right now?" Asked Ryu. Everyone gave him a 'you think!' look.
"…yeah…I thought so..." xSighx "Guess I better start climbing the wall" Everyone thought he was joking but nope! Ryu was literally climbing the stonewall, well, climbing the tree in order to climb the wall.
"What are you doing!" Whispered Hilary. "You're going to get yourself killed!"
"…Well, at least it might be less painful than Kai's plan!" Ryu was already standing on the wall, getting ready to jump down.
"Dude, you're crazy." Spoke Max. He received nods from everyone.
"Ryu, get down, I don't think my future son-in-law would do such a thing, it was just an accident." Mr. Kishuko tried to reason with man. Ryu gave him a 'are you kidding me' look and replied.
"No. To Kai, kissing Tsuki means you just signed your death wish! Accident or not! I can't face him! If he sees me, he'll strangle me! I don't want that! I want to live a little bit longer." With that said, Ryu jumped off the wall. The others heard a 'Thud' and then a 'Shit, guys, I think I broke something…ow, ow, ow…guys!' The others looked at each other and sped through the door in order to get to Ryu.
"…Guys? Guys? I'm serious! Guys!"
