Chapter 6: Operation Wedding...Correction, Dooms Day
The day of all horror day's finally came. It was now wedding day. Yusei spent part of his morning lying in his bed, think of all the possible women he could have married...more importantly, he could have married Aki. Not that he could...since they were on a non-speaking or seeing basis.
I just wish she could understand that I was trying to protect her, Yusei thought, thinking about Aki while he was taking a shower.

Meanwhile, at her house, Hoshiko was busy getting a mani and pedi until it was time for her to eat breakfast. While she was relaxing, she basked in glory that Aki was nowhere around and took her advice not to interfere.
It feels so good knowing that my plans are working just like I had hoped for, Hoshiko thought, happily. She looked out the huge window in her living room watching people set up for the wedding. In a few short hours, they would exchange vows and more importantly...she'd have her hands on the fortune.

At a nearby restaurant, Aki and Hiro spent the morning setting up the plan to infiltrate Hoshiko's house so that Aki could tell the Fudo's what was really going on behind the scenes. Even though she and Yusei fell out a week and a half ago, she didn't think it was right that they had to be killed by some psycho golddigging bitch.
"Okay, so what were you thinking? As far as safety precautions?" Aki asked, sipping her Coke.
"Well, if Hoshiko's doing what I think she is, she'll most definitely have a sniper disguised as one of the wedding staff. She figures that everyone will be too distracted since there's many people working at this wedding," Hiro explained, getting into full detail, "So, I've taken matters into my own hands. I've contacted an old friend of mine, and she let me borrow her kevlar vest. I want you to wear it incase something were to happen."
"Wow, this vest has gotta be like at least five grand." Aki muttered, taking the black, strapless vest from him, "Do you want to hear my plan?"
"Of course." Hiro replied, listening intently.
"Well, I was thinking since you mentioned that people will be carrying boxes and things like that, we could get ahold of one of the boxes and I can contort myself to fit into the box and you can already get in since you're guarding. That'll be our way in." Aki told him, feeling clever.
"Great. What is your intention after getting in?" Hiro asked.
"I need to get additional evidence. I already have the pictures of the sorority ring and the picture of Mrs. Fudo and Mrs. Hamasaki, the contracts about the fortune, and before I left the Fudo's, I did some investigating and it turns out that Hoshiko's father didn't want to initially work for the same company Mr. Fudo did. He applied to a separate company, but Mrs. Hamasaki begged him to work with Mr. Fudo." Aki explained, pulling out a copy of the application from Mr. Hamasaki.
"All right. So when we get in, I'll give you a signal that means you're free to go find the evidence. I'll text when they're giving their vows and when the priest asks for objections." Hiro told her, receiving a nod from her.
"Okay. Only four hours until things begin. Let's go." Aki told him, setting aside a tip and left the restaurant, "I'll meet you in front of my house in two hours."
"Will do." Hiro replied, as Aki pulled out of the restaurant.
While she was driving she felt so nervous. She'd never done anything like this in her entire life. Never had she had to know that someone was trying to secretly kill an innocent family, or that all she loved a man for was his money and would stoop so low in order to get it. More importantly, she never had to put her life on the line.
I hope the plan works out. If it doesn't, I don't know what will happen, Aki thought, pulling into her driveway.
After taking a few shopping bags out of her back seat, she quickly headed into her house. She was lucky that Yumi was out for the day and would be back until later, giving her enough time to get ready without being questioned. She knew that Yumi would be the first one to ask why would she help Yusei's family after what he did to her.
Yumi and the others, they just wouldn't understand...just because one guy hurts me doesn't mean the price his family pays is to get killed, Aki thought, doing her makeup.
Back at Yusei's house, he stood in front of his mirror...staring at himself in his black tux. He still couldn't believe that he had to marry possibly the worst girl he's met in his entire life. He missed Aki dearly and wished that they could start dating again.
Damn, Hoshiko! If it weren't for her...I'd still have my Aki, Yusei thought, knocking something off his dresser. Afterwards, he heard a knock on his door, "Come in."
"Hey, you ready? Your rents are waiting downstairs." Jack mentioned, plainly.
"What other choice do I have?" Yusei questioned, as him and Jack joined his parents downstairs.
"I can't believe my boy is getting married." Mr. Fudo said, patting Yusei on the back.
"Yeah, sure." Yusei muttered, mentally rolling his eyes.

After Aki was done getting ready, she gave herself a once over in her mirror. She wore a metallic sheen purple, strapless dress with black, peep toe pumps. She checked to see if her kevlar vest was noticeable, which it wasn't. Her hair lied straight with her neat side swept bangs.
All right, Aki, we got a family to save, She thought, feeling like she was a superhero...a well dressed superhero.
Once she got outside, Hiro had parked out front sitting on the car waiting for her, "You look really nice, Ms. Aki."
"Hiro, you don't have to call me miss anymore. We're friends, so Aki's good with me." She said, happily.
"Okay, thanks." He smiled, as they got in his car, "You have your phone on vibrate?"
"Yup. Remember everything we went through." Aki told him, confidently.
Before she knew it, Aki was staring right at the huge, overly decorated Hamasaki residence. There had to have been at least three or four trucks. Hiro decided to park behind the catering truck. While no one was looking, Hiro took one of the huge white boxes they were using and went onto the passenger side where Aki was sitting. After she opened the door, she contorted herself to fit into the box before Hiro screwed in the screws. Aki noticed that while she was in the box there were huge holes so that she was able to breathe. She could feel herself being moved...probably on one of the dollies they used to carry heavy boxes.
"Hiro, what are you doing?" Mrs. Hamasaki's voice questioned, causing Aki to suck in a breath.
"Pardon me, Mrs. Hamasaki, I was just offering my services and helping. I have already ensured that the Fudo's are safe and sound." Hiro told her, calmly.
"Oh, good. Thank you so much." She said, walking away. After pulling the box far from anyone's reach, Hiro removed the box from off the dolly. Aki used all her might and leg muscle to kick the top of the box off and watched it fly off.
"Thanks, Hiro." Aki muttered, straightening herself up. As they hid behind the staircase, Hiro gave her the signal to go upstairs.
"Please, do be careful, Aki. Mrs. Hamasaki's room is down the hall and to the left." Hiro whispered, as Aki dashed upstairs.
Crap, I only have an hour until she walks down the aisle, Aki thought, finding Mrs. Hamasaki's room. As she expected, her room was huge. Everything was decorated so lavishly she had a hard time believing that was actually their room.
"Okay, gotta find some stuff." Aki muttered, looking around their room, as she walked in the closet for a little bit, Aki came across something sticking out of her shoe box. As she picked up the shoe box, she found a manilla folder that had 'PRIVATE' stamped across it. She she looked through the folder, she was horrified to see that it was list of snipers...and one of them had a huge red check across the profile page.
"Hey...what are you doing...?" A voice asked, just before Aki knocked her out by high kicking her in the face.
"Sorry, but I'm on mission." Aki mumbled, pulling the bridesmaid into the closet and shutting the door. As she dashed down the hallway, she realized she only had ten minutes until the wedding began.

While the bridesmaids were making sure everything was set, Hoshiko got a call from the sniper she hired. She quickly went into her bathroom and answered the call.
"Speak." She demanded, coldly.
"Where's my money?" The sniper asked, just as rude.
"Look, I told you...until the job is done, you won't see any type of money. I want them dead!" Hoshiko exclaimed, hanging up.
"Ready, dear?" Mrs. Hamasaki asked, happily.
"Ready." She smirked.
xxxxx
As everyone was settled in their seats, the wedding officially began. The first bridesmaid started walking, a bit slow, but they were still walking. Yusei was busy standing there, hoping for a miracle to happen.
Oh God, what the hell am I going to do? Yusei thought, nervously watching Hoshiko walk down the aisle. She reminded him of Rosalie from the Twilight Saga...how she took revenge on her ex-boyfriend and killed him while she was wearing a wedding dress.
At the same time, Aki and Hiro were hiding once everyone was out of the living room, that lead to the backyard wedding.
"Dearly beloved...we are gathered here today in holy matrimony...," The priest began, happily.
"Okay, when I say go...do what you have to and don't look back. You must save the Fudo's." Hiro told Aki, solemnly.
"I'll try my best." Aki whispered, feeling her heartbeat really fast.
"I do." She heard Yusei say, slowly sliding the ring on her finger.
"Hoshiko, do you take Yusei as your lawfully wedded husband?" The priest asked, smiling.
"I do." Hoshiko said, sliding the wedding band onto his finger.
"If anyone has any objections...speak now...or forever..," The priest began, as Aki walked into the backyard.
"I object." Aki said, loudly for everyone to hear.
"Aki?" Yusei questioned, shocked that she was there.
"What is she doing here? She wasn't invited." Hoshiko growled, watching Aki walk down the aisle.
"Aki, dear, what's going on?" Mrs. Fudo questioned, sounding concerned.
"Hoshiko's not in love with Yusei...she's only marrying him to get your fortune you and Mr. Fudo left for Yusei when you two pass away." Aki told her, hearing everyone gasp.
"She doesn't know what she's talking about. She's just jealous because she's in love with my husband." Hoshiko responded, acidly.
"Ummm, last I checked, I didn't kiss you yet." Yusei muttered, getting a glare from Hoshiko.
"Aki, what do you mean?" Mr. Fudo asked, patiently.
"Just hear me out, please. I have evidence that she left behind...she hired a sniper to kill you, she got Yusei to sign a transfer document regarding the fortune, and her mother's been helping her with the entire scam." Aki explained, showing Mr. and Mrs. Fudo the profile of the sniper.
"Oh dear God." Mrs. Fudo gasped, covering her mouth, as she glanced at Mrs. Hamasaki's signature.
"Can't you tell? She's making this up." Hoshiko repeated.
"No, I'm not. Here, Yusei, you can look at the document you signed not too long ago." Aki said, handing Yusei the transfer document.
"Oh my God, I did sign this. You lied to me! You said this was for the marriage certificate!" Yusei shouted, angrily.
"It wasn't just her doing. Mrs. Hamasaki was helping her the entire time," Aki told Yusei, glaring at Mrs. Hamasaki, "It all goes back to when Hoshiko and Yusei were little. Mr. Hamasaki didn't want to work at the same company with you, Mr. Fudo, simply because where he applied to intially offered him better pay. Hoshiko's mom begged him to get that job with you. She knew her husband would be an easy access to you and Mrs. Fudo.
"And it wasn't just a coincidence that you two were in the same sorority either, Mrs. Fudo. She knew, even when you were in college, that you and Mr. Fudo were dating since your second year and aimed to be his best friend's wife." Aki continued, shocking everyone even more.
"I can't believe they did this right under our noses." Mr. Fudo muttered, as they turned their gaze to Hoshiko and her mother.
"Oh, did she tell you she slept with your son before the wedding?" Hoshiko questioned, as everyone gasped again.
"Is this true, Aki?" Mrs. Fudo asked, as another wave of shock came over her.
"Yes, I did. I didn't have sex with Yusei because I felt like it, I did it because...I actually love him. The only reason why we had to separate was because he was trying to protect me from Hoshiko." Aki admitted, quietly.
"Are you seriously going to listen to this sorry little girl who used to be your maid? She's clearly plotting this to ruin Hoshiko's wedding. She just wants Yusei all to herself." Mrs. Hamasaki argued, hysterically.
"How could we not agree? The evidence is here in black and white. Plus, I'm getting the feeling that Aki is a little more sincere about her feelings towards my son than your stupid, idiotic daughter." Mrs. Fudo argued, angry at the woman who was supposively her friend.
"How dare you insult my daughter!" Mrs. Hamasaki shouted, balling her fist.
"Go, mom." Yusei said, hearing Hoshiko growling.
"Did you know about this, Kenji?" Mr. Fudo questioned, looking at Hoshiko's father.
"You have to believe me dear friend, I would have told you about this as soon I found out. I knew nothing of this incident. I'm so ashamed." Mr. Hamasaki said, feeling awful.
"He's right, Mr. Fudo. He had nothing to do with this." Aki agreed, gently.
"Daddy, how could you turn on us?" Hoshiko questioned, mortified that her dad wasn't taking her side.
"I'm not turning on anyone. You have disgraced this family and so has your mother." Mr. Hamasaki muttered, harshly.
"Aki, we're so sorry. I don't even know how we could have let this happen." Mrs. Fudo told her, sadly.
"It wasn't your fault. I just did this because...well, you guys are the nicest people I've ever met. Just because I'm not speaking to Yusei right now, it doesn't mean good people should have to die." Aki told them, sweetly.
"We owe you so much gratitude. We don't even know how to thank you, Aki," Mr. Fudo said, turning to Yusei, "I don't know if you can ever forgive me, son. I just hope you know I'm greatly sorry I put you through this pain."
"I've already forgiven you, Dad." Yusei told him, hugging his dad.
I'm not letting go without a fight! Hoshiko thought, signaling the sniper. Aki noticed Hoshiko waving her finger and looked up at the window that was coming from her room.
"MR. FUDO LOOK OUT!" Aki screamed, tackling him and Yusei to the ground, letting the bullet hit her in the chest. The sound of the shot made everyone begin to scream and panic.
"Oh my God! Honey, Yusei...are you two okay?" Mrs. Fudo asked, while everyone at the wedding continued to panic.
"We're fine." Mr. Fudo answered, as he got up from the ground.
"Aki!" Yusei shouted, sliding her motionless body into his lap, "Come on, Aki, wake up! Damnit, wake up!"
After a few seconds, Aki started coughing really hard, as if she had a smokers cough. The Fudo's were releaved that she wasn't dead.
"Yusei...ah...man, that hurts." Aki muttered, sliding the top of her dress down to reveal her black kevlar vest and removing the bullet that hit her right below her left boob, "You guys...have to get out of here. The sniper could still be here. Hiro's probably contacted the FBI already."
"What about you?" Yusei asked, fearfully worrying about her.
"I have to get all these people out of here." Aki told him, plainly, "Please, go find Hiro so he can get you out of here."
"Son, let's just do what she says." Mr. Fudo told Yusei, quietly.
"No, I'm staying with you." Yusei argued, trying to be brave.
"It's sweet that you want to be with me, but don't cause your parents anymore stress than they already have. Go!" Aki exclaimed, in a serious tone.
"Son, if you want to stay that bad...then do what you must. I'm going to get your mother to safety." Mr. Fudo interrupted, as him and Mrs. Fudo left to meet up with Hiro.
Be careful, Dad, Yusei thought, helping Aki pull her dress back up.
"Thanks...HEY, LISTEN UP!" Aki shouted, as everyone stopped, "I need everyone to calmly proceed towards the exit of the house calmly and in an orderly fashion."
Not listening to a word she said, people started running to their cars anyway they could. Aki could hear some people speeding down the street to get away from all the chaos.
"Well, I guess the wedding's off." Aki mumbled, quietly.
"Look, I just wanted to say...I'm sorry that I ever hurt you, Aki. I love you, and I just didn't want you to get hurt by Hoshiko." Yusei told her, holding her.
"I know. I'm sorry I hurt you too. I just didn't understand what your intentions were at the time. I was so busy trying to protect you, I didn't see you were doing it for me in return." Aki explained, as he pulled her in for a kiss and embrace.
"I'm just glad to have you back in my arms." Yusei said, happily.
"Enough of that, we have to go to." Aki replied, as the left through the side of the mansion. They could see that the FBI had shown up to take the sniper into custody, but they didn't see Hoshiko or her mother.
"Oh, we've managed to apprehend the guy who tried to kill Mr. Fudo, but we're in pursuit of the girl and her mother." One of the agents said, as Aki and Yusei shared a look, "We'll make sure they don't bother you."
"Thank you." Yusei replied, shaking their hand, "Let's go."
"Wait, where are we going?" Aki asked, cluelessly.
"My house...but only for a little bit. We're not going to stay." Yusei told her, starting his car.
"What? Where are we going?" Aki questioned, anxiously.
"I don't know yet. We'll figure something out when we get to my place." Yusei responded, hearing his phone ring, "Yeah, Dad?"
"Your mother and I have decided that we're not staying at home...at least until everything has blown over. We're all going to England until everything is clear with the FBI." Mr. Fudo told him.
"I'll be home in a few. Bye." Yusei said, hanging up the phone.
"England? Yusei, what about my family? My friends? I can't just leave and not even tell them where I'm going." Aki told him, shocked at by what she heard.
"Aki, don't worry. You can call them when we get to England. I wouldn't ever want you to not tell your family where you're at." Yusei explained, trying to get her to calm down.
"Okay, but what about...you know, my stuff? I need clothes and things of that nature." Aki muttered, for some reason feeling stupid.
"We can take care of that when we get there." Yusei responded, as they got back to the Fudo mansion, "Mom...Dad, we're back!"
"Good. I was able to get the tickets for all of us. Our flight leaves in three hours. We need to get going." Mrs. Fudo said, as Mr. Fudo brought down their luggage.
"Mom, do you have anything Aki can wear?" Yusei questioned, holding Aki's hand.
"Oh, sure. Come on, dear. Yusei, go pack your things." Mrs. Fudo told her son, as she and Aki continued down to her room, "I should have something for you. It might be tight on your chest. I really haven't had huge breasts since I had Yusei."
"Oh, that's okay, I just want to get out of these heels." Aki smiled, taking her pumps off.
"Here you go. You can change in the bathroom." Mrs. Fudo added, as Aki quickly went into the bathroom.
As she took her dress and vest off, she unfolded the clothes that Mrs. Fudo let her borrow. She was surprised to see that it was a graphic tee that had Betty and Wilma from The Flinstones on it that said 'The Real Housewives of Bedrock' and a pair of black yoga pants. After putting the shirt on, Aki realized that it was a tad tight on her boobs, but it still fit. The yoga pants were comfy as well.
After changing, Aki threw her hair into a sloppy bun at the very top of her head. After taking the pair of flips flops Mrs. Fudo left her, she headed downstairs.
"You okay?" Yusei asked, holding her.
"Yeah." Aki answered, quietly.
"Come on, let's go. We have to catch the plane." Mr. Fudo told them, as they all walked out. Aki had no clue what their fate would be.
Okay, I'll admit...this chapter kind of had me going...I mean, all the drama, the suspense, secrets and deception thrown all together into one crappy wedding...anyway, I hope there weren't any spelling errors...I tried my best to look at all the spelling. Plus, I should have warned you the last two thirds of this story was going to be just a long scene full of chained events, so my apologies. Also, I can say that I successfully completed this chapter in only...fifty minutes. Yay me!
Next time: After landing in the U.K, Aki is somewhat stressed out. Though she has reunited with Yusei, she misses her family and is worried that the feud with Hoshiko may not be over. Will she ever be able to go home or will she have to make a new life in England?
Also, the FBI are still searching for Hoshiko and her mother. Where could they be? Does Hoshiko know where Aki and the Fudo's are? R&R plz! I'll try my best to have the next chapter up soon...
