'He… proposed?!' Miyako, Sora, and Mimi squealed. The three girls were sipping coffees at the local café. (Sorry for making Sora… such a squealer. XD) Hikari nodded. 'Oh my God! You did say yes, right?' Miyako said. Hikari nodded again.

'Who will be your bridesmaids?' Sora asked. 'My three best friends ever – Sora, Mimi, and Miyako!' Hikari said. She was attacked by a huge group hug. 'We are going to be your wedding planners.' Mimi stated.

Hikari laughed. 'I was going to ask you guys to anyways.' Sora and Miyako smiled. 'We should use pink and green – because those are Takeru and Hikari's colors.' Mimi said looking at Sora and Miyako. 'Good idea. We'll get pink and green tulips and other types of flowers and decorate the aisle with them in a bouquet.' Sora said thinking about her mother's shop.

'So, when's the wedding?' Miyako asked. 'We're planning to make it in about three months – in October.' Hikari explained. 'That gives us about… seventeen weeks.' Miyako said doing the numbers inside her head. 'You can count on us Hikari! We'll find your caterer, floral needs, church booking, tux and gown needs, party place, and other things. The only thing you and Takeru have to do is find a honeymoon place. Of course, we'll have both of your inputs on everything, also.' Mimi said.

Hikari smiled and pulled the girls into another hug. 'You guys are awesome!' Hikari said.

'You did it little dude!' Yamato said patting Takeru on the back. 'I'm not so little anymore, you know.' Takeru commented.

'I know, but I'll always remember you as that puny eight-year-old back in the digital world.' Yamato said sticking his tongue out.

Takeru rolled his eyes. 'I've chosen my three lucky groomsmen. It will be Yamato, Taichi, and Daisuke. Daisuke said that he'd come for my wedding.' Takeru said.

'I already have my speech written out.' Yamato said. Takeru laughed. Taichi smiled. 'We're going to be related soon! I always treated you like a little brother and now it's finally true. I want nephews!' Tai said. Takeru blushed and looked away.

'Don't scare the dude!' Yamato said punching Tai on the shoulder. Tai laughed. 'I'll have to get them eventually. Just don't hit the bedroom too soon. Make sure Hikari is safe.' Taichi said.

Again, Takeru blushed. 'I'd rather not speak about me… bedroom life right not, you know?' Takeru said playing with his fingers. Taichi raised an eyebrow. 'You haven't… have you?'

Takeru widened his eyes. 'What the hell?! No, of course I haven't!'

Taichi smiled.

Takeru knew that Taichi was very overprotective of his sister; hell he was even overprotective with Takeru at times. Taichi wanted the whole 'no-sex-before-marriage' thing for Hikari. To be safe, he also wanted the same for Takeru. Not that Takeru really wanted to go there before marriage…

'How are Sora and the baby?' Takeru asked changing the subject. 'They're at home. I should be heading home right now too. I can't keep the two most special people in my life, besides Hikari, waiting. See you soon!' Tai said.

Takeru looked at Yamato. 'Let me guess, you have to go, too?' Yamato nodded.

Yamato and Mimi just got married so Yamato was off to do stuff with Mimi. 'Why is it that you two always leave at the same time?' Takeru said as Yamato left.

He could always meet up with Hikari to discuss more of the wedding. That sounded nice. He couldn't believe it. He was going to marry his childhood sweetheart, his best friend, and the girl he loved more than life itself.

He flipped open his cell phone and dialed Hikari's number.

'Hey there future-wife.'

There was a sweet giggle. 'Hello Takeru.'

'Can I talk to you about wedding plans?'

'Sure, the girls just left me alone to do their business. Well, actually Sora and the baby headed home an hour ago. Mimi left half an hour ago and Miyako just left. So now I'm all alone at the café.'

'Aw, my poor baby is all lonely. Don't worry. Your knight in shining armor will be there soon! I love you.'

There was another giggle. 'Bye sweetie. I love you, too. See you in a few minutes!'

Then the line went dead.

Takeru smiled to himself. He closed the door to his car and drove off to the café.

Once he arrived, he locked the car and opened the door. He immediately spotted Hikari and took a seat at her table. 'Hello.' He said.

Hikari smiled. 'Hey.'

'I told them about the wedding.' Takeru said. 'So did I. Miyako, Mimi, and Sora are going to be our wedding planners and bridesmaids.'

Takeru smiled and nodded.

'The girls said something about picking out my gown and your tux sometime in the next three weeks.' Hikari said taking a sip of her coffee.

'Hikari, we're finally here. We're getting married. It's been so long. And finally I get to spend the rest of my life with you. I'm so ecstatic.' Takeru said.

Hikari sighed. It was a sigh of happiness though. It was as if she was thinking about the future. And she was.

The day finally came to pick out the gown and the tux. The day reminded Hikari of her first date with Takeru. It involved tons of trying on of clothes. She found the one that she thought was the most perfect. It was a strapless gown that was a beige-like color. It wrapped around her curves perfectly. The bottom portion had several white plastic flowers. The belt-wait area had a peach band. It was perfect. She instantly fell in love with that dress.

For her evening gown, she chose a strap dress. It was long in the back bottom area causing it to 'drag' across the floor. The blue color caused it to be unique. It had a diamond/striped like print on it.

The bridesmaid's gowns were less fancy, but nevertheless beautiful. They were a light purple shade. It had diamonds sprawled across the chest area.

Finally finished with all the shopping, the group stepped outside. Almost immediately, Hikari was snatched by a man. Miyako turned around to find that Hikari was being stuffed into a van. 'HIKARI!' She shouted. The other girls turned around and shrieked. Mimi and Miyako scrambled to the door, just as it closed. Sora looked at the license plate to find that it was covered.

'What just happened?' Miyako said quietly. 'I think… Hikari was just kidnapped.' Sora said resisting the urge to tear up. Mimi stood there with her mouth wide open.

Sora did the first thing she could think of. She called Takeru.

Takeru had just finished trying his tuxedo when his cell phone rang.

'Hello?' He said.

He heard the worried voice of Sora. 'TAKERU!'

He pulled the phone away from his ear wincing at the loudness. 'What's wrong, Sora?' He asked pulling the attention of Taichi.

'Hikari… she's… she's… been kidnapped!' Sora said.

Takeru was stunned. 'She's been what?! No! Tell me this isn't true! Don't play jokes with me Sora! Please don't!' Takeru said half yelling, half crying.

'I'm… going to call the police. I… I'll meet you guys at the bridal store.' Sora said quietly before hanging up.

Takeru turned around with a mixed expression. 'Hikari has been kidnapped!' Takeru said before running out of the store. The older siblings didn't have time to comment. They ran out of the store following Takeru toward the bridal store.

'… If only I had turned around sooner! Hikari would have been okay.' The cries of Miyako were heard. Apparently, she was explaining the scene to the police.

'WHICH WAY DID THE VAN GO?!' Takeru said not even caring that he was out of breath. Miyako pointed down the street before saying, 'Takeru, you can't chase after them. It's been too long…'

'I don't care!' Takeru said. He had to find Hikari. He had to. He loved her. Takeru ran as fast as he could – which was pretty fast. He ran down alleys, streets, he even almost got hit by a car. He didn't know what he was looking for besides Hikari.

He ran to every place he could think of from the park to the café to alleys. There was no sign of her. 'HIKARI!' He called out for the thousandth time. It was well beyond sunset now.

Takeru finally collapsed on his knees. He covered his face with his hands as he bent his face down toward the sidewalk. He was crying.

'Hikari…' He whispered.

His cell phone hand rang so many times he decided to turn it off. He didn't want to hear the pleads of the digi-destined calling him to come back home. He wanted Hikari.

He stood up wiping a tear from his face. He had left his hat with Yamato before he left. He didn't want to lose that hat. It was special. Hikari gave it to him. He looked around at his surroundings.

He was probably in the outskirts of Odaiba right now. He spotted a warehouse. Hikari had to be in there. He felt it.

He climbed over the gates with ease. There was a guard at the door. Takeru spotted a rock and threw it on the other side of the building hitting the wall. The guard rushed over to it while Takeru snuck in. There was a chair in the middle of the room. The room was filled with dozens of boxes. Hikari was tied to that chair.

She was being watched over by several men, sleeping. Hikari however was still wide awake. Takeru looked around to make sure no one was there. He crawled around the box and spotted an opening on the other side of the room. Hikari was facing that way. He crawled into the opening being careful to be as quiet as possible.

Hikari spotted him and she widened her eyes. Her mouth was covered by a cloth and her hands were tied behind the chair while her feet were strapped firmly to the two front legs of the chair. Takeru put his finger to his lips to signal for her not to make a sound.

Takeru silently made his way over to her. The guards were snoring. He untied her and led her outside of the building. The guard outside the building was still inspecting that area. He held her hand. Both of them were silent.

Takeru helped Hikari jump the fence. Once they were safely over, Takeru dialed his cell phone to call the police.

'Hello. I found Yagami Hikari – the girl who was just kidnapped. I saved her and she is with me right now. I'm outside the area where she was kidnapped. I'm on the West outskirts of Odaiba. Come quickly!' Takeru whispered into the phone.

Once he shut the phone he pulled Hikari into a hug. 'Hikari…' He let out in a whimper. He held her tight not ever wanting to let her go. Hikari was crying. 'Takeru…'

The guard at the door finally noticed that Hikari was missing and signaled for the other guards to look for her. They spotted Takeru.

Takeru noticed this and pushed Hikari into a bush to hide her. 'Where did you take the girl?!' The guard sneered.

'What girl are you talking about?' Takeru said trying to sound like an innocent bystander just taking a walk. 'Don't lie to m-'

'STOP AND PUT YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR!' A loud voice boomed. The guard immediately dropped any weapons he had and obeyed. The other guards inside the warehouse were soon dragged out by the policemen. 'Are these all of the guys?' The chief asked Hikari. Hikari nodded. Takeru was still holding onto her.

'You sure have one hell of a husband, missy. He cares about you a lot. I'll make sure these buffoons don't bother anyone ever again. Just come with us to the station and we'll clear out the details.' Hikari and Takeru nodded not really noticing that he had said Takeru was her husband as they climbed into the police car.

'Hikari, are you alright?' Takeru asked. Hikari nodded burying her head in Takeru's chest. 'Thank you! I love you so much, Takeru. Thank you.' She said over and over in between sobs. Takeru knew he shouldn't ask what happened to her in the warehouse just yet. She was emotionally unstable.

All Takeru could do was put his arms around her and comfort her.

'Okay Miss, we'll take you and Mr. Takaishi into the conference room for some questions.' The police man said leading the couple into a gray room.

'How did you get kidnapped?' The police man started.

'I was shopping for a bridal dress for Takeru and mine's wedding. We just finished and were walking outside of the door. The other girls were looking the other way when a guy grabbed me and stuffed me inside that van.' Hikari explained.

'What happened after that? Tell me the whole story.'

'After that, the man knocked me out with some kind of gas and I woke up strapped the chair. The man asked me questions like, 'Are you rich?' or 'Where do you live?' I refused to answer those questions so he threatened to kill me… with knife. He even took out a knife for effect. He gave me several cuts on my arm.' Hikari showed the police man her arm and continued, 'The man left and left some of those guys to guard me. Luckily, you guys captured the man that threatened me. Then after they fell asleep, several hours after that Takeru came and saved me. And now, I'm here.' Hikari finished.

The police man nodded. 'Do you need to go to the hospital for those cuts?' The police man asked. The cuts were huge gaps; they were pretty minor.

Hikari shook her head.

'Alright, that's all for now. We'll make sure those guys will never bother anyone again. They're going to be in life sentence.' The police man announced.

Hikari smiled. 'Thank you so much officer.' She said. (I chose not to go through the whole court thing. Too boring. :P)

'Hikari, are you okay? Are you sure?' Takeru asked for the umpteenth time. Hikari laughed and nodded. 'Yes, your angel of light is perfectly fine except for some minor cuts.'

'At least let me carry you home.' Takeru offered. 'Ah, practicing for our wedding day again, aren't we?' Hikari said. Takeru grinned and lifted her up like he had three years before.

He carried her to the Yagami apartment to find the whole group of digi-destined there.

'HIKARI!' Everyone burst out. Takeru put her down and smiled. 'Thanks for protecting my little sister.' Tai said patting Takeru's back. 'She's the love of my life; why wouldn't I protect her?' Takeru said modestly.

Taichi smiled.

The wedding day finally came.

It had been three months since that kidnapping. Hikari was okay both physically and emotionally. In fact, she trusted Takeru more then ever before – if that was even possible.

Their love had grown stronger. Hikari was the luckiest woman alive. Takeru was the luckiest man alive. They were the luckiest people alive.

Hikari led out a sigh. She was staring blankly at the mirror. She was thinking about Takeru again. Sora smiled and walked over to her. Hikari looked up at her and gave Sora a smile.

'What did I ever do to deserve Takeru?' Hikari said drumming the counter with her fingers. Sora smiled. 'You gave him love.'

Hikari's smile widened. 'I love him so much.' She said.

Her hair was curled. Her veil hung loosely at covering the back of her head. She was wearing her wedding dress – it brought back memories. Amazingly, she didn't see those memories as bad. She saw them as good. It strengthened their relationship. She trusted Takeru with her life. That's why she wasn't nervous today.

Her makeup was not overdone. It had a touch of mascara, blush, red lipstick, and light purple eye shadow.

She let out another sigh. 'I'm truly happy.'

Takeru walked around the room with his hands behind his back. 'Dude, why are you worried?' Yamato said obviously finding his brother's behavior quite amusing. 'I'm marrying the girl of my dreams today. I'm freaking nervous!' Takeru said.

Daisuke laughed. 'What are you nervous about? You two have been closer than the threads of clothes ever since as long as I can remember. Plus, since that kidnapping incident you two have became even closer – if that was possible.'

Takeru gave a smile. He was wearing his tux. His wore black pants, a white shirt, and a black jacket that had a red rose. His red bow was neatly wrapped around his neck. Takeru tamed his hair by actually using hair gel. He didn't wear his hat today.

'It's show time.' Taichi said walking outside of the door. Takeru looked at the watch hanging onto the wall and gave a nervous smile. He got up and walked outside of the door.

Takeru was now standing in the middle of the aisle waiting for Hikari to come out. The music began to play as Takeru turned around to find a beautiful sight. Hikari was wearing the most beautiful gown; it went perfect with her gorgeous face. She was linking arms with Mr. Yagami. As she came to Takeru, Mr. Yagami let go and Hikari hooked onto Takeru's arm.

Takeru spoke out of the corner of his mouth, 'What are you up to, cutie?' Hikari smiled, 'Just getting married to the best guy in the world…'

Takeru grinned. 'He's probably very happy.'

As they stopped at the front of the altar, they faced each other. The session proceeded until finally they said their vows.

'…Until death do we part.' They finished. Finally it was time for the official moment. 'I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride.' The priest said smiling. Takeru lifted Hikari's veil and kissed her, embracing her waist. The people present were cheering.

Takeru grinned. He grabbed Hikari's hand and they both ran out of the Church. Hikari lifted up her dress a little so that she wouldn't step on it and trip. Hikari threw her bouquet of flowers up into the air and who better to catch it than Sora!

Taichi grinned and gave Sora a hug.

Takeru and Hikari had planned to have the party the following hour. Hikari was going to move into Takeru's apartment. So, they got into the limo and drove off toward the apartment to change into the evening clothes.

Once they were seated inside comfortable Takeru grinned. 'How does it feel to be Hikari Yagami Takaishi?'

Hikari laid her head onto Takeru's shoulder. 'It feels… perfect.'

Once they arrived at the apartment, Takeru finally put his 'practice' into play. He picked Hikari up and carried her into the room. Hikari giggled and hugged Takeru's neck.

Once they arrived at the ballroom they were greeted by everyone. Hikari received plenty of hugs while Takeru received dozens of handshakes and pats on the back.

Finally settling down, everyone ate. Sounds of laughter, jokes, overjoyed crying bridesmaids, and talking filled the room. The dancing started. Takeru smiled and offered his hand to Hikari to dance. She gladly accepted and they stepped onto the dance floor as a slow song started to play.

Hikari had one of her arms around Takeru's neck and she leaned her head on his shoulder while the other hand was holding onto his hand. Takeru had one arm around Hikari's waist as he leaned forward a bit.

'I promise I'll protect you, care for you, and be the best husband ever.' Takeru whispered into her ear. Hikari smiled. 'I promise that I'll love you, and be the best wife ever.'

As the party ended, everyone went home except for Sora, Taichi, Hikari, Takeru, Mimi, and Yamato.

'Congratulations.' Tai said stuffing his hands into his pockets. Even with the tuxedo on, he still pulled it off looking casual. It had to be the hair. 'Welcome to the family.' Tai said with a smile.

Yamato grinned. 'My little brother is married to my best friend's sister.'

Sora smiled biting her lip. 'Hikari, you are very lucky!'

Mimi shouted, 'GROUP HUG!'

The following morning, Takeru and Hikari were dragging suitcases to the airport for their honeymoon. They chose to go to Hawaii for about a week.

Hikari admired her ring at least once every few hours. She just couldn't believe it. She was married to the man of her dreams and her childhood best friend.

Takeru smiled as they settled onto the plane. 'We're official.' He said.

Hikari nodded. 'I'm no longer a miss. I'm a Mrs. Takaishi.'

As the entered their hotel room, it was around 9:00 P.M. They were planning on enjoying their next six days. They quickly changed. Unpacking could be left for tomorrow. They noticed their suite. It was quite big with a luxurious bathroom. There was one master bedroom and a living room.

Hikari was in a rather… playful mood. She grinned and pulled Takeru close and kissed him. Takeru got the hint and pulled her into the bedroom…

Minutes later, his cell phone rang in the living room. He didn't bother to pick it up though. Taichi was calling. He left a message…

TAKAISHI! DON'T YOU DARE DO ANYTHING WITH HIKARI FOR ANOTHER FEW WEEKS IN THE BEDROOM BESIDES SLEEPING!

Of course, that message wouldn't be heard until the next morning.

Haha, so I have decided that there will be around two chapters left. The ending of this chapter was a bit humorous, well at least I tried to make it humorous. Hope you liked it. Until then,
