The Search for the Bridegroom
'You mean he's really run away at the eve of their wedding?' exclaimed Nanami to the three other friends standing before her under the night sky at the entrance to the Saionji Temple.
The four looked at each other thoughtfully, still shock and despair evident in their eyes. It was Nanami who finally spoke. She looked at the three and asked in a coarse voice, 'does Mr. Saionji know?'
'No,' said Santa as Aya and Nozomu shook their heads.
Nanami looked at the three and after a moment's thought said, 'we'd better not tell them…'
'What?' asked Santa and Aya reasoned, 'we should at least tell Miyu… or she'll be…'
'She'll be fine…' said Nanami.
'Yes, Nanami's right,' said Nozomu with his hand at his chin, 'if she knows now, she'll go berserk and if we do find Kanata then, we'd probably never see him again…'
'You're right,' said Aya thoughtfully, 'Miyu would end up in Jail… we don't want that, do we?'
'Definitely not!' exclaimed Santa and asked, 'then, what do we do? The wedding will be in twenty hours and we need Kanata at the Hall at least an hour early…'
'What are we goanna do!' exclaimed Nozomu.
'We'll just have to find him…' said Nanami and asked suddenly, 'when did this actually happen…?'
'Well, when Santa and I arrived at the Temple to take Kanata to the bachelor's party, but we just found this,' said Nozomu and handed Nanami a piece of paper. Nanami looked at it and saw thin handsome writing crawled upon its surface, evenly and smoothly. She knew for sure that it was Kanata's.
It read:
I'm really sorry about this…
-Kanata
Then Nozomu continued, 'then, we called Aya…'
Everybody looked at each other and after a second said, 'we'll just have to find him…'
'Yeah… let's go and search for him in places that he usually goes to…' suggested Santa.
'I'll check at his office…' said Nanami and sprinted down the stairs.
'I'll try the Mall…' said Nozomu and ran away too.
'I'll go to the School and the university to check if he's there,' said Aya and she left Santa alone at the entrance.
Santa looked thoughtful for a moment and the next got out his cell and dialed a number and spoke into it, 'Hello, Akira? We have a problem…'

'What do you mean Kanata's gone?' exclaimed a girl with long pink hair and alluring purple eyes. She was sitting in a Limousine and was talking in her mobile with a laptop on her lap, which had fallen down with her sudden exclamation.
'Kanata would never do something like that Nozomu… there must be some kinda mistake…' said Christine her hand automatically reaching her curly hair and twisting it in her frustration.
Christine's eyebrows' furrowed and she said finally, 'I'll try and find him…'
She turned off her phone and turned to her trusted butler, Mr. Deerfield who was seated next to her in the car.
'Mr. Deerfield,' she said turning to the man in the deer costume, 'send all the men we have… we have to find Kanata!'
'Right Ms. Christine…' he said giving her a salute and picking up his phone.

'Miyu, honey…' exclaimed a woman with short ginger hair with emerald eyes, hugging her blonde daughter and carrying an enormous luggage which she dropped at the sight of her blonde and emerald eyed daughter. The dropped luggage was picked up by the blond man who smiled at the two women in his life.
'Mom…' said Miyu as she hugged her mother back.
'I'm so happy…' said Miki as she hugged her daughter.
'So am I,' piped her father, Yu Kouzuki.
'Where's Kanata?' asked Miki.
'He's at a bachelor's party…' explained Miyu shrugging her shoulders.
'We are going back to the Saionji Temple, right?' asked Yu placing their luggage on a trolley. Miyu shook her head and said, 'Uncle Hosho said that I'd better not stay in the same house as Kanata before the… you know… wedding… so, we're staying at Nanami's place till the wedding tomorrow…'
'Anywhere is fine honey…' said Yu and added, 'I really can't believe that my little girl is all grown up and going to get married…'
'Papa… I'll always be your little girl,' said Miyu hugging her father.
It was Miki's turn to smile now. Then after wiping away a tear that found its way into her emerald eyes, she said, 'let's go honey… we have a lot to talk about before the wedding…'
Miyu turned a little red and walked with her parents on either side of her, happy and cheerful.

'Kanata, you are such an idiot,' thought Nanami as she ran up the floors to Kanata's office building earning herself a stare from the night guard when explained she was searching for a missing groom.
At the same time, Nozomu was 'searching" for Kanata. Actually, he was just handing out roses to every girl in sight and almost forgot why he was at the Mall in the first place.
Aya was going through every classroom at their old school and had shifted the university search to Santa who was actually searching for Kanata in a dustbin at the back of their college.
Meanwhile, Christine's men were searching for Kanata all through the town and some also trying out outside the town and some ehem outside the country.
'He could be anywhere… what if he had run to Spain…?' Christine had cried, 'we have to find him…'
-Bells-
'Kanata, where are you?' muttered a girl with long black hair as she ran along street after street looking for a particular brunette. Her mind was in a fury. You idiot… I flew all the way across the world just to see your wedding and you decided to runaway? Man... You are such an idiot!'
As she ran across a park, she stopped as she saw a dark figure sitting at a swing with his head bowed and looked way too old for a swing. His hair was almost completely covering his face and he was holding his hands together and looked as though he was deep in despair. Akira recognized the figure at once. She walked up to him. He didn't look up till she was just inches away from him.
He looked up and his auburn eyes were filled with despair and sadness. Akira was in such a fury that she wanted to slap him at the very second she found him, but something in his eyes stopped her.
She sat down at the swing next to him and asked in a hoarse voice, 'why did you run away, Kanata?'
Kanata looked at her and Akira realized that he hadn't changed at all. He was the same from when he was just a little kid—the same eyes, the same hair and the same look that he gave her every time he made a mistake.
He returned his gaze back to the ground and replied in a mutter, 'I don't know…'
Akira was furious now. She snapped, 'you are acting nothing like the Kanata I know… what happened to you… I thought you loved her…'
Kanata looked at her with a small smile said, 'of course… I still do and I'll always… I'll always love her…'
Akira suddenly felt a pang in her heart that seemed to have come out of nowhere. Hearing her best friend saying that he loves his would-be is normal. But why did she feel that way? She shook her head lightly and said, 'Kanata, come back… Miyu will be really worried if you were not to be there…'
Kanata returned his gaze to the ground and said, 'I don't know Akira… I'm scared…'
'What?' asked Akira, not able to believe her ears, 'you, Kanata Saionji… you are scared?'
Kanata smirked and said, 'quite unbelievable, huh?'
'Of course…' said Akira slightly patting his shoulder.
He looked at her and a small breeze passed the two.
'I'm just scared that I might loose her Akira…' said Kanata finally.
'Loose her?' ridiculed Akira with a small laugh, 'you are getting married to her. How could you possibly loose her?'
Kanata looked at her seriously and said, 'you know that Miyu and I argue and fight a lot…'
'A lot?' asked Akira, 'like, that's all you two do!'
Kanata let out a short laugh and said, 'sometimes she and I fight so much that we don't speak to each other for at least two to three days… she doesn't know this but Everytime that happens, I feel two things at the same time… to yell at her and ask her to leave my life alone but that doesn't last very long… I feel like that only for a few minutes…'
Akira looked at him, her eyes a little teary.
'But what I really want to do during those times is to apologize to her and say that I want us not to fight…' he said smiling and chuckling lightly added, 'but whenever I get to try this, I end up making her even more cross and the fight even more worse…'
Here, the smile on his face disappeared to be replaced by a serene and sad look. He didn't look up at Akira. If he had, he'd have been able to catch the single drop of tear that escaped her eyes.
'What's that got to do with you running away?' asked Akira after wiping her face clean, 'you know what they say "fighting is a symbol that you are close to that person"… stop worrying and let's just go…'
'But Akira…' he said suddenly, 'what if she and I have some huge fight after we get married and I screw up like always and she makes it worse like always and then, what if… what if she and I never work things up and remain separated forever?
Akira remained thoughtful and before she could speak, he added, 'I love her Akira… I love her way too much to handle such a thing as separation… i want her to be with me forever and I don't want to spoil everything by getting married… I think if we were just like this, there will be no need for separation as such a thing as divorce need never come up…'
In spite of her sadness Akira's face broke into a big smile and she playfully hit Kanata's head and said, 'you are such an idiot!'
Kanata raised his eyebrows and turning away said, 'thanks for the compliment…'
Akira smiled and said, 'you idiot… do you really think that you two might get separated?'
'There are possibilities,' said Kanata.
'You idiot,' exclaimed Akira and said, 'I've never would have thought that you'd think of such a silly excuse to runaway from our marriage with the one you love…'
'With the love of my life…' corrected Kanata and gave her a weak smile and added, 'yes, I know that it's silly… but I'm just a little scared. That's all…'
Akira smiled and said, 'do you really think that uncle Hosho, Miyu's parents, me and all of your other friends would just let you two turn your marriage into a disaster? The only thing that you should be scared of is seeing your friends now… they looked ready to kill you…'
Kanata smiled and said, 'do you really think this will work?'
'I'm dead sure it will,' said Akira and got up and caught hold of Kanata's hands and pulled him up as well. He smiled at her and said, 'thanks a lot Akira… but I'm still not sure…'
'You will be when you see Miyu walking down the isle…' said Akira pulling him away from the park and onto the road.
Kanata smiled.
