Wedding Day Mayhem

A/N: Exams are finally over and except for a three day class I'll be free all through next week as well as the next. So, get ready for more updates guys. This is in sour memory of my I Terminal Examinations. I dedicate this entire story to F.R.I.E.N.D.S who inspired me to take up a Wedding theme.

"Mayhem" actually here refers to inner confusions that Kanata goes through with the wedding. It doesn't actually imply any mayhem, literally. Just so you know.

Thanks for all those reviews guys. I hope to do my best with this final chapter and I hope that you all like it too. Please don't forget to review.

The Wedding

'Oh my god, what are we going to do?' thought Nanami as she stood outside the door to her apartment. They still hadn't found Kanata and she was in a daze. It was nearly nine thirty in the morning and the wedding would be in about nine hours and how could she possibly go and tell the bride that the groom has run away.

They had been searching all through the night and Nanami had just arrived back home. She hadn't even called any of the others yet because of two damn reasons: one is that her cell-phone was completely out of charge and in her hurry she didn't take any coins with her either which rules out calling from a booth. So, she decided to call them from home.

But there was also this one tiny little problem: Miyu.

Nanami had been debating with herself whether or not to tell Miyu about Kanata yet. But it was really late and if she doesn't, then…

So Nanami, heaving a deep sigh, extended her hand and grabbed the doorknob. She turned it and it slowly slid open revealing her home. She took off her shoes slowly and was surprised to see that there was only Miyu's pair left at the porch. She wondered where Miyu's parents were. Hers lived away from town and will be dropping straight to the wedding.

She peeked into her hall and was surprised to see the hall abnormally clean. Wondering why her house looked unusually clean, she slowly tiptoed to the phone and was half way through Aya's number, when a voice from behind made her drop the receiver in shock.

'You're back!'

'Uh… Miyu…' Nanami grinned weakly, 'what are you doing up so early?'

Miyu smiled with a small shrug and said, 'I was up since five… I just couldn't sleep…'

'Um… yeah…,' said Nanami and asked, 'who cleaned up here?'

'Actually me,' consented Miyu and blushing slightly added, 'I was so nervous, I decided to clean the house… Mom and dad didn't wanna get in the way, so they decided to go out and look around Heiomachi for a while…'

'Great,' muttered Nanami looking away.

'So, have you solved the problem yet?' asked Miyu cheerfully.

'What?' exclaimed Nanami, 'what… what problem…? We don't have a problem...! Of course not…!'

Miyu frowned and said, 'but you were out all night and you said something about the china not arriving…'

'Oh!' said Nanami, relief spreading through her face, 'that problem… oh yeah, it's solved alright…'

'Good,' said Miyu smiling, 'and I was so scared something was going to go bad…'

'Oh honey we're already there…' muttered Nanami under her breath.

'What did you say?' asked Miyu.

'Nothing…' said Nanami shoving away, 'I was just about to call Aya…'

And she turned to the phone again but stopped at the sound of her name.

Nanami…?'

She turned to see Miyu coming towards her and she gave Nanami a big warm hug and held on for a few minutes going, 'I'm so glad that you are all here to help me get through this… I'm really happy about having to celebrate this day with all of you…'

She let go with a big smile which vanished at the sight of Nanami's sad face. She frowned and looking worried asked, 'Nanami is everything alright?'

'Miyu,' she started, 'I have something to tell you…'

'What is it?' asked Miyu.

Nanami grabbed both of her hands and started again, 'we can't find Kanata…'

Just as Miyu's eyes started to pop, Aya came at the door and held out a thumbs-up with a grin. Nanami's eyes widened and a smile caressed her face.

'…tie!' she finished, 'we can't find Kanata's tie!'

'What?' exclaimed Miyu, 'Kanata's tie's gone? Oh no… I knew something was going to go wrong!'

'We found it,' came Aya, 'we found the tie…'

'You did?' asked Miyu and hugged Aya and letting her go said, 'I'm a little nervous... I'd better take a warm bath before getting ready… anyway I smell of cleaner…'

'You sure do…' muttered Aya and Nanami as the blonde made her way to the bathroom.

'So, who actually found Kanata's "tie"?' asked Nanami.

'Akira did…' replied Aya and turning to move out of the house added, 'she apparently found it at the park… it seems to be afraid of going through this marriage….'

'Afraid, huh?' asked Nanami and added pulling up her sleeves, 'let me show it was fear really is…'

'Nanami…'

-Bells-

'Are you sure this is going to be fine?' asked Kanata for the hundredth time to Akira as she was adjusting his tie. They were in the groom's dressing room in the wedding hall and it was nearly six in the evening.

She looked up with an accusing look in her eyes and said, 'Kanata it's going to be fine! The wedding's in an hour and I don't want to hear another word from you…'

'Yeah…' muttered Kanata with his head hung.

She looked at him and after a quick survey asked, 'can't you do something about that hair of yours?'

'Why, what's wrong with it?' asked Kanata coldly.

'It looks just like it did when you were ten…' she said pushing her hand into his brunette locks and enjoyed the velvety touch for a second and pulled away her hand and added, 'it's as messy as ever…'

Kanata pushed his hand into his hair and with a slightly red face felt the touch of his hair. 'It's not that bad…'

'So, ready with you speech?' asked Akira suddenly.

'Speech?' asked Kanata pulling down his hand, 'what speech?'

'The speech that you're going to have to give before slipping that ring in her finger,' she said and left the room alone with Kanata and his confused thoughts. And then within a second, she opened it and staring at him accusingly said, 'and don't you dare try to run away again…'

'It's not like I could…' muttered Kanata remembering the massive and long telling off he received from almost all of his friends. By far, Nanami's was the worst. She had actually tried to hit him if it weren't for Aya and Christine who stopped her at the right moment.

As soon as she left Kanata tried the window but of no avail. So sighing, he said down before the mirror and studied himself.

'You are so stupid Kanata Saionji,' he muttered looking at his reflection, 'you should've gone to the Spain… no way could they have found me there… you missed out the chance idiot…' He bent a little and with his hand unconsciously heading over to his hair, his looked at his reflection thoughtfully.

'Speech, huh?' he asked himself.

-Bells-

Kanata, are you ready son?' asked Akira.

Kanata weakly nodded with a smile. He was standing on the podium waiting for the bride to arrive. He turned to see the pastor and sighing hung his head. He turned to see Akira standing right behind him to support him. She looked absolutely gorgeous wearing a long pearly blue dress with her hair hung down as usual.

He turned again straight and wondered why he didn't fall for Akira but Miyu. He closed his eyes started describing the two.

First is Akira: beautiful, charming, his first ever best friend, intelligent, amazing cook… and on and on.

Then it is Miyu… Miyu… a total klutz, silly, stubborn, jumps to conclusions, spontaneous… and a total idiot…

But no matter, she was the kindest person he had ever seen. She was the one girl who penetrated through his cold nature. Akira did that too but that was when he was a kid. He wasn't even cold then. He was moderate then. But as he became a teenager, he started being an obnoxious, controlled, closed guy and it was her who actually brought out the Kanata who even Akira had never seen.

The Kanata that become jealous; the Kanata who is totally possessive; the Kanata who makes silly jokes on his favorite girl on this earth; the Kanata who makes ghost imitations just to see her squeal and call out his name.

A smile caressed his lips as he thought of all that she does to him. The fact that he became jealous over an alien who was just holding her hand made him laugh out loud when he thought back to it. Then, it all seemed okay to him.

Just then 'whoos' where heard behind him. He turned to see the bridesmaid and the best-men walking down the aisle. Christine was being courted by Nozomu and the two looked absolutely awesome together with their identical smiles and warm looks. Next were Aya and Nanami, being courted by Santa, who was beyond himself in guiding two beautiful women.

All three bridesmaids were wearing long Perry-winkle blue dresses which slightly glittered in the dim light. Despite himself he smiled at his friends who took position behind and in front of him. Then, Nozomu nudged Kanata to look at the aisle and what he saw made his jaw drop.

It was the most amazing thing he had ever seen. Yes, he had seen her in two different wedding dresses before and they were closed to getting married twice in a dream (though in one they had actually did get married).

'Miyu…' escaped his lips as he saw his bride walking down the aisle and he saw that she was deep crimson around her cheeks, her wedding dress was absolutely amazing and what was more amazing was the smile she gave Kanata. Kanata couldn't help but feel that he was the luckiest man on earth.

Yuu left his daughter with the brunette and kissing her cheek moved away muttering to Kanata, 'take care of her… she's too precious to loose…'

'I know,' Kanata muttered with a smile.

Miyu looked at him and raised her eyebrows pointedly. He smirked and said, 'Akira was right…'

Miyu looked at him confusedly but was interrupted by the pastor.

'We are all assembled here to join two souls and hands together… Kanata Saionji and Miyu Kouzuki… Is there anybody in this hall who would not like this wedding to continue? If so, please you may speak up…'

There was none.

'Now, Miyu Kouzuki should you start with the speech first or should…?' asked the pastor looking at her kindly.

'I'll go first,' choked Miyu excitedly.

'Yeah… before the groom tried to runaway again…' muttered Santa getting death glares from almost everyone standing in the podium.

Miyu looked from Santa to Kanata curiously and taking a small step backwards, asked out of the corner of her mouth to Nanami, 'he wanted to run away?' Nanami just shrugged and pushed her lightly.

Kanata smiled at Miyu guiltily. Miyu gave him one small glare and started her speech.

"As a kid I always believed that first love will be the true one. But then, I didn't know the difference between a crush and love. And you'll al be a little surprised to know that my first crush was when I was a day from my fifth birthday…'

Kanata raised her eyebrows.

"My parents are always busy… I know that they want to fulfill their dreams… but then, I was just a kid and I felt so left out. It was a day before my birthday and I was so lonely and sad, I decided to runaway from home…' here she smiled weakly at her parents who nodded at her asking her to go on.

"Then, running away just meant I was two blocks away at an open yard with a few man-hole pipes lined up… I decided to live there from then on… but it was already occupied… by a boy about the same age as I was then, wearing a cap and a stern look in his face…'

Kanata's eyes opened to an extent. It felt a little familiar to him somehow.

"We had a few arguments and then he offered me some egg-rolls. It was unusually tasty for a egg-roll and I told him that I envy him cause my mother never makes such good stuff…'

Here she shot an apologizing glace towards her mother and turning to Kanata continued, "He explained that they were made by him and not by his mother cause she's already with god… that's when I felt something. I knew from then on, I should be happy with what I have… He was my first crush cause he taught me an important lesson… but after a little over ten years, I found out who that boy was…'

Kanata smiled at her.

'Now, I solemnly believe that first love will always triumph… in my case my first crush… Who would've actually expected that my first ever crush would be my first love and after sixteen whole years, I'd be marrying my first crush… I'm so glad that I'm getting married to you Kanata… I love you so much… I'm so happy that we'll be together…,' and added suddenly, 'that is, if you still want to… '

Kanata smiled and said, 'actually I didn't prepare a speech… I'm sorry but I have something that I want to tell…'

Miyu looked at him curiously. Then, Kanata caught hold of her hands and pressing them gently said, 'I was a little nervous about going through this marriage… to be honest, I was nervous till a few minutes ago… but when I saw you walking towards me, to be with me forever, I knew that there is no other place in this universe where I would rather be… it's always you… I always want to be with you… not with anyone else not anywhere else…'

Miyu smiled.

'I love you…'

'I love you too…'

'Now, do you, Ms. Miyu Kouzuki,' asked the pastor, 'take this man's hand and promise to be with him in all happiness, despair, problem and joy and give him constant support throughout?'

'I do…' said Miyu.

'And you Mr. Kanata Saionji…' continued the pastor, 'do you promise…'

'I promise never to let her go away from me no matter what…' finished Kanata still holding on to Miyu's hands. Miyu blushed slightly but Kanata's eyes were fixed in Miyu's.

'Very well…' said the pastor smiling, 'but you have to let go now to exchange the rings son…'

Then, they exchanged the rings.

'You may now kiss the bride…'

Kanata looked at Miyu and he chuckled lightly.

'What's so funny?' asked Miyu frowning with a smile.

'You remember,' he said, 'when we were in that Cinderella book and we were asked to do the same thing, we were head over heels embarrassed…'

'Yeah…' said Miyu her mind rushing with past memories, 'but now…'

She never finished the sentence because the next second, Kanata had pushed his hands around her wait and pulling her close, locked her lips with his. His eyes were closed and his touch was gentle. Miyu slowly closed her eyes as well and she wrapped her arms around his neck. The two newly weds were thinking the same thing: I wish time would stop right now…

-Bells-

'You actually tried to run away, huh?' asked Mrs. Saionji to her newly wed husband who was sitting beside her in one of the round tables at the dining hall for the wedding dinner.

Kanata looked at his accusing wife and leaning closer to her so that their foreheads touched said, 'I'm sorry… I was stupid…'

'Are you sure, you are ok now with the wedding?' asked Miyu not pulling away, though a little red at the close contact.

'Of course…,' replied Kanata smiling.

'You know we could've postponed the wedding till you were all clear with the idea…'

'Sh…' said Kanata and Miyu fell silent at once. Smiling, he said, caressing her cheek, 'c'mon… this is the best night I've ever had… don't ruin it…'

Miyu smiled and nodded her head lightly.

'Good…' said Kanata and kissed her lips lightly and returned to the dinner.

Miyu's lips curved to a smile and as she was about to take another bite of her food, she heard Kanata mutter to her, 'you taste awfully better that this stupid dinner'.

'Kanata…' said Miyu turning a deep shade of red.

'Attention please…' they heard someone call.

They turned to see Akira standing with her glass raised.

'I'd like to pronounce a toast to the newly-weds…' she said.

Kanata and Miyu smiled. Miyu slipped her arm into his and their hands entwined together tightly.

'Whenever people say that "fighting shows that you care" I always thought that it was just a silly little theory…' she said.

Kanata and Miyu looked at each other and chuckled lightly.

'But I realized that it is the truth whenever I see you two in an argument…' she continued, 'when I see you two, I feel that none in this world are more perfect for each other as you tow are… I'm so glad that my best friend has gotten married to the woman he always loved… I wish you two all the best with your future…'

Everybody raised their glasses.

After taking her seat again, Akira raised her glass looking at Kanata. He smiled and raised his glass indicating a thank-you. He turned to Miyu and kissed her the hand which he was holding. Miyu looked at him and the two started talking.

Akira smiled. A single drop of tear escaped her eyes and she muttered under her breath, 'I'm so glad Kanata…'
