"No way, no how, nuh-uh." Nika said shaking her head to emphasis her answer.
"Oh come on Ni-Ni it's an original H.S.K design." Suka said still fluttering the lingerie in Nika's face.
Nika sighed and sat down at the vanity that was put in her wedding tent. It had been 5 years since Kyouya proposed in that hospital room. Nika could tell by the unspoken love in his eyes that he meant it, and she said yes on the condition they waited till after they graduated high school and college and still felt the same. Part of Nika was waiting everyday with baited breath that Kyouya would one day wakeup and decide he didn't love her and move on with someone else, but here she was Nika Cho age 21. P.H.D in psychology and Japanese second hottest model for Hitachiin clothing first being unsurprisingly Haruhi.
"Nika you know as well as I do you'll look great in it, plus I know Kyouya would like a little treat for your honeymoon." Suka teased.
Nika shot her a glare she had mastered from watching Kyouya and successfully shut Suka up.
"I don't even want to know why you and the twins made lingerie for me; in fact I don't even want to think about it." Nika chuckled as she put her head down on the vanity in agitation.
"It wouldn't be H.S.K without Hikaru, Suka, and Koaru. Also I wouldn't be working with them if it wasn't for those outfits I made you and the fact you look good in everything you put on."
Nika hated to admit the truth, but it was the truth. After seeing pictures of Nika in a cheongsam, a maids uniform, and a short Kimono Suka began making outfits and costumed for Nika as if she was her own personal dress up doll. Nika wore one of the outfits to the club after school and the twins fell in love with it wondering who made it. The rest as they say is history… which Nika wanted right now to be put in the past.
"You know technically you're already married so you could put this on right now and I could bring Kyo-Kun in here for a little pre-honeymoon practice." Suka whispered in Nika's ear scaring Nika out of her seat.
"Why did I ever agree to have a traditional Japanese wedding first and a western one second?" Nika asked herself.
For press sake the couple agreed to have a traditional Japanese wedding were only family and the media could come. Nika had to admit she was so surprised that there was so much media but Kyouya reminded her:
"The head of the Ootori cooperation is marrying an award winning psychologist and one of the most beautiful women in all of Japan. did you really think the press wouldn't come?"
Nika hated when Kyouya was right. Even though they were technically married the traditional Japanese ceremony seemed to lack romance and the friends that Kyouya and Nika would be able to have present at a western style wedding. Plus the twins and Suka almost died at the prospect of making outfits for the whole wedding party.
"Is everything alright in there?" Haruhi asked as she hesitantly peeked in the flap of the brides tent.
"Haruhi please talk some sense into Suka for me!" Nika pleaded.
Haruhi entered. Haruhi and Nika had become sincere friends as they both were pulled into many of the host clubs "commoner" battles and hijinks. After graduating their friendship only deepened when they were asked to be models for the twins clothing company which paid for college and Haruhi's debt to the club.
"Suka-San seeing as it's spring it would make no sense for Nika to wear that and get it ruined when she could just go naked for her honey moon." Haruhi reasoned not helping the blush that Nika was sure was stained on her cheeks now.
"Why did I even think you would help?" Nika asked herself as she got up and paced smoothing out her wedding dress.
"As your maid of honor I think it's about time you calm down and take a breath." Suka offered reassuringly.
"How can I calm down! I'm getting married! I don't deserve Kyouya, he's smart, kind, sweet, charming.."
"Hot as hell." Suka interrupted.
"…I was going to say handsome but I think that works to." Nika sighed.
"I doubt my little brother would wait 5 years to marry someone if he didn't feel like you were worth it." Fuyumi interjected as she entered the tent donning the same gorgeous H.S.K designer labeled bridesmaid's outfits as Haruhi and Suka.
"I agree, Kyouya-Sempai does not have the patience for people he doesn't like or can't get anything out of. Plus I don't think I ever saw him smile before he met you." Haruhi said truthfully.
Nika sighed and looked at herself in the mirror.
"Ok..i'm calm." Nika breathed.
"Then put this on under your dress!" Suka said cheerfully pushing the skimpy and see-through Lingerie at Nika only to be glared into a corner.
"I wonder if I was like that on my wedding day." Fuyumi mused to Haruhi.
Meanwhile in another tent on the beach at Ishikagi island, Japan. Kyouya was trying to calm down his overexcited best man.
"Tamaki please control yourself. I believe I'm the one getting married today not you." Kyouya said placing a hand on the crying blond mans shoulder.
"But,but she's going to walk down the isle all glamorous and your heart will skip a beat as she draws near. You'll want to run to her and capture her in a warm embrace but your legs can't move! She'll have a tinge of fear in her eyes when they meet yours but all worried will fade away at the words I DO!" Tamaki rambled on gesturing and dancing around the tent in his tux.
"You'd think he's never been to a wedding before." Kyouya mused to Hunny who was also a man of honor and proud father of three blond children who were currently being watched by his wife Éclair in the seats outside.
"It's better he gets out all this energy now then when the wedding starts." Hunny smiled.
Kyouya looked at the wise expression on the older man who had finally had a growth spurt and looked more like a teenager then an elementary student.
"We just wonder is Tamaki is thinking about the honeymoon." The twins whispered in Tamaki's ear and the blond stopped his ramblings only to give Kyouya puppy dog eyes.
"I think I can have it arranged that your bodies never leave this island." Kyouya said to Hikaru and Kaoru who only snickered as Tamaki ran at Kyouya.
"Be gentle! Oh my god mommy is moving on!" Tamaki cried.
"Again." Hikaru interjected.
Kyouya sighed and fixed his glasses earning a smirk from Mori who stood at the entrance of the tent just watching everyone.
"As much as I value your opinion, I would appreciate the thought of my honeymoon permanently removed from your mind." Kyouya said with a deadly seriousness.
Tamaki shut up only to have a grin fit his lips.
"How can you not think about your honeymoon?" Tamaki asked as he put an arm around Kyouya's shoulder.
Kyouya suddenly had an urge to render Tamaki unconscious before his headache began.
"You're marrying a woman who was voted one of the hottest and richest bachlorettes in Japan!"
Kyouya hated to admit it, but it was true. After graduating Nika became a model and found out her father left her100,000 yen in the bank which she invested and became a millionaire with. If that was not enough she also became known as a superb psychologist with a knack to make everyone feel at peace talking about their problems with her. If it weren't for the fact that all the host were used as models including the twins for their clothing line Kyouya would be a tad jealous.
"Men everywhere drool over her picture…which reminds me we should definitely start the swimwear spread." Kaoru said making a note of it in a little sketch book he carried around everywhere.
"To be close to the one you love is one of the most sacred and honored things in this world. Oooh do you want Daddy to teach you about the birds and the bee's?" Tamaki asked as his eyes lit up.
"I wonder how long I could go to jail for killing my best men on my wedding day. I think I'll leave Hunny and Mori alive though just to keep up appearances." Kyouya thought to himself as he prepared to put Tamaki in his place when Mori coughed alerting everyone that someone was coming.
In came a tall balled and tattooed man in a tuxedo with a warm smile on his face.
"Welcome Blade-San, I'm glad you could make it." Kyouya greeted Suka's father a.k.a Nika's "uncle" (a/n:he appeared in chapter 14)
Blade had been released from jail 3 years prior for good behavior and had taken over the tea shop in Suka's place while she made a name for herself in fashion. Kyouya had also been acquainted with Blade who was like a second father to Nika and surely enough acted as if he was.
"May I have a word with the lucky groom?" Blade asked everyone who only nodded and left.
"Birds go kakaww! And bees go buzz!" Tamaki whispered as he left the tent leaving the twins laughing up a storm in the distance.
"Do I even want to know what Blondie meant by that?" Blade asked.
"I wish I didn't know what he meant half the time." Kyouya sighed.
"I am glad that you could make it Blade-San, it means a lot to Nika…and me" Kyouya said shaking Blade's hand.
"I wouldn't miss this for the world. Nika is like a daughter to me but unlike Suka she isn't anything like me thank god!" Blade chuckled.
"You must admit Suka has come a long way." Kyouya said after becoming used to the outlandish and flirty older woman.
"Yeah,yeah,yeah, but I know I'll never get to walk her down the isle. I wish Minoru was here he would be a lot better at doing this than me."
"Doing what?" Kyouya asked puzzled.
"Well it's customary on a mans wedding day for him to be threatened before the ceremony." Blade grinned.
Kyouya on the other hand did not laugh and just looked at the man before him who he knew had gone to jail in the first place for protecting his daughter.
"Listen here, Nika is one of the most beautiful and precious woman you're ever going to find and if you mistreat her, hit her, or even look at another woman I'll personally make sure that when I torture you…which I will, that no one will hear your screams or be able to piece back your body." Blade said with a smile that was somewhat unnerving.
"I…see. Thank you but that wasn't necessary. I am well aware of how lucky I am and will try my best to be a great husband to Nika." Kyouya bowed.
"That's my man!" Blade chuckled as he swooped up Kyouya in a crushing bear hug.
"Seeyah out there!" Blade saluted as he left making his way towards Nika's tent.
"I'm beginning to think me and Nika are the only sane ones here." Kyouya thought to himself as he fixed his Tuxedo like nothing happened and checked himself in the mirror before heading out to the alter.
"CALM DOWN!" Suka yelled at Nika who was pacing a hole into the ground.
"I'm trying but the music already started, and what if my breath stinks? When I say I do he's going to faint from sheer funk!" Nika panicked.
"If your breath was that bad I think the tent would have deteriorated by now." Came the laughing voice of Blade.
"Dad could you please talk some sense into this girl! We got to get out there before people think she stood him up." Suka said giving her father a quick kiss to the cheek as she nodded at Fuyumi and Haruhi to leave.
"What's wrong Ni-Ni?"
"I'm nervous...no not nervous. I'm excited…no I'm scared…ugh! I just don't know what to do. I want to cry in a corner and scream for joy." Nika rambled as she continued pacing.
Blade merely smiled and stopped Nika with a two strong hands to her shoulders so she could catch her breath.
"Is this about the honey moon?"
"If another person brings that up my dress will be red with their blood!" Nika said darkly surprising Blade.
"You really are your father's daughter. He was walking around like a chicken with it's head cut off when he married your mother." Blade laughed.
"Don't laugh at me! I'm seriously going through some things…what if we fall out of love?" Nika said the last part to herself sadly.
Blade lifted Nika's chin and looked her in the eyes.
"My dear, any man who would wait 5 years for your stubborn self to marry him couldn't fall out of love with you even if he wanted to."
"But.." Nika was going to make another excuse only to be pulled up by the tall and strong Blade.
"For a renowned psychologist you're pretty dumb. He's crazy about you, your crazy about him. That's all that matters, so stand tall, shut up, smile, and put your arm in mine cuse' its show time!" Blade said putting the bouquet in her hands and wrapping one of her arms in his as the bridal march was heard and he started leading her out.
"But,but..grr" Nika said in defeat as she took a deep breath and smiled as she walked out of the tent and down the isle.
"This is it isn't it? I have no where to run and nowhere to hide…so why does that thought make me so happy?" Nika thought to herself as she felt a single tear drop down her face.
Kyouya locked eyes with Nika and surprisingly found all that Tamaki said was true. His heart did skip a beat as he saw Nika's smiling and blushing face walk down the isle. Unlike with their Japanese ceremony which for the press more than for them, Nika didn't have to wear heavy makeup and a black geisha wig, covered in layers of material while he walked with her in his sweaty groom kimono. All in all it seemed more like a chore than an actual bonding.
This time though Nika was wearing a shimmering gown of silk and satin that washed over her and amplified the brown curls that cascaded over her shoulders. He had to remember to tip Hikaru, Koaru and Suka on their choice. Kyouya wanted to run up to her and Wisk her away but his legs wouldn't move and he could see the apprehension in her eyes.
"Can we really do this?" Kyouya found himself wondering.
