Chapter Four: Wedding Preparations

-

Kukai was hanging upside-down, his head almost touching his bedroom floor.

"I swear, one day you're gonna fall out of bed in your sleep, Kukai," Yaya said, leaning in his doorway.

Kukai's eye's shot open and he pulled himself up onto his bed, and stared at Yaya, "Hey, what are you doing here?" He asked confused.

Yaya held up a small silver key, "You gave me and everyone a key to your new house when you moved in. Me, Amu, Nagi, Rima and Tadase. You said to come over any time for anything." she told him.

Kukai nodded, remembering that he had said that. He glanced back at Yaya and stared at her outfit. Today she looked like herself, wearing a denim skirt and a white tank top with a pink half cut short sleeve jacket with two strings tied in a bow and flip flops. Her hair was pulled up in a pony tail and she was wearing sunglasses.

"Why are you wearing sunglasses indoors?" Kukai asked with a chuckle. Yaya took them off and placed them on top of her head, "I need a favor," She told him, walking into the room.

"Where's Pepe?" Kukai asked. Yaya pointed behind her and out the door, "Waiting in the car."

Kukai nodded and stood up and started to pull at the sheets on his bed. Yaya started to laugh. Kukai looked at her, "What?" He asked.

Yaya pointed to him, "Nice boxers!" She choked out. Kukai looked down and saw he was only in a white t-shirt and a pair of boxers with soccer balls all over.

Kukai blushed furiously and jumped under the covers of his already made bed, "Out! I gotta get dressed!" Kukai told Yaya.

"But I need a favor!" Yaya protested after stopping her laughter. Kukai rolled his eyes, "Fine! What?"

"Come with me and my mom on the wedding thingy today!" Yaya told him. Kukai's shoulder's fell, "What?! No way, Yaya! That's something you do with the groom! Not your best friend!"

"Please Kukai! It's so awkward hanging with Hiro right now because we don't know too much about each other! Having a friend there will help! You can help me break the ice and the minute Hiro and I actually start having a conversation then you're free to go!" Yaya explained.

Kukai sighed, why should I help the woman I love get closer to a guy she's going to marry?

Yaya fell to her knees and bowed her head. "Y-Yaya?!" Kukai said, dumbfounded at Yaya's action. "Please Kukai! I can't get my mom to help! She's too embarrassing! And Hiro's mother is just like Hiro! I need a friend!"

"What about Rima and Amu?!" Kukai asked. Yaya shook her head, not looking up from the floor, "No! I called them earlier and they are both busy! Rima is doing something with Nagi and Amu has work! You're my only close friend who is free!"

Kukai huffed and nodded his head, "Fine," He mumbled. Yaya looked up, her eyes bright and she smiled, "Really?!" she asked him.

Kukai nodded, "yes, really."

Yaya jumped up and hugged Kukai, "Yay! Thank you so much!"

Kukai hugged her back, "Okay, enough love. Get out. I gotta get dressed." He told her. Yaya backed away and nodded, her smile still on her face, "Right! Could you hurry though? My mom is waiting downstairs and we're meeting Hiro and his mother at the boutique to register!" She said, and then quickly walked out of the room.

Kukai thought for a moment, "Register for what?" he mumbled. He shook his head and walked over his dresser. He knocked lightly on Daichi's egg and he popped his head out.

"What? It's still early," Daichi mumbled. Kukai pulled out a pair of jeans, a white undershirt and blue button-down shirt and a clean pair of boxers and walked into his bathroom.

"I know but we're going out!" he called.

Daichi rubbed his eyes and floated over to the bathroom door. He knocked and Kukai opened it, already fully dressed and brushing his teeth.

"Where are we going?" Daichi asked. Kukai shrugged, "Somewhere to register for something." He said before spitting into the sink and taking a sip from a full glass of water.

"Register for what?" Daichi asked. Kukai shrugged and grabbed his hairbrush, "That's what I'm wondering. We'll ask Yaya when we get to the car,"

"Wait! Yaya? We're going along with Yaya today?" Daichi asked, dumbfounded. Kukai nodded, "Yeah. Why do you sound surprised?" he asked, finally getting his messy hair brushed to look spiky and also a little messy, the same way Kukai always styled his hair.

"Because yesterday you were spying and crying over her! If you go with her today you'll only get more hurt!" Daichi told him. Kukai shrugged and walked out of the room, "I know, but that happened yesterday. Today is a new day and I might be extremely upset about Yaya getting married, but maybe one day I can talk her into divorcing the square!" He said, grabbing a pair of socks out of the drawer and walking out of his bedroom door.

"You're gonna talk her into a divorce? Then what? Tell her your feelings and hope she'll leave Hiro for you? She could have already had children with Hiro by then and you know Yaya would never put children through the drama of a divorce!" Daichi told him.

Kukai ran down the steps to the first floor and over to the door. He quickly put on his socks and shoes and grabbed his cell phone off the charger by the door.

"I know, but," Kukai paused and laughed, "Did you see that guy? No way could he produce offspring!"

Daichi nodded, "He doesn't look like the father type, but he could be able to get Yaya pregnant when they get married!" he told Kukai.

Kukai rolled his eyes and grabbed his house keys. As he walked out the front door and locked it, he saw Yaya leaning up against the car with the back door open a crack.

"Look, Yaya wouldn't wanna have a kid right after high school. She's probably gonna use the pill for the next five zillion years." Kukai said, walking down the path to the car.

Daichi thought for a moment. Kukai looked at him, "What?" He asked. Daichi floated over to Kukai's ear and whispered to him, just in case Yaya might hear, "If you married Yaya at the end of the month, would you want her on the pill?"

Kukai blushed madly and glared at Daichi, "How could you say that?! I-I don't wanna think like that right now!"

Daichi grinned and started laughing, "You're so funny Kukai!"

Kukai ignored Daichi and walked up to the car. Yaya stared at Kukai and a laughing Daichi quizzically, "What's so funny?" She asked.

Daichi shook his head, "Nothing Yaya. Nothing," He told her. Yaya looked at Kukai and Kukai kept staring at the ground, his face still bright, "Let's just go, okay?" he said.

Yaya nodded, and got in the car first. Kukai got in and waved to Pepe once he saw her. He said good morning to Yaya's mother who was driving and put on his seatbelt on.

"So, Yaya what are you registering for?" Kukai asked her. Yaya thought for a moment, "You know, stuff. We go into this store and they give us this little gun thingy and you go around the store and click on the price tags of the things you want or need after the wedding. Then, when you're done they print out a list of all the things you clicked on in the store and people who are coming to the wedding buy you the stuff as wedding presents. It's really cool!" She explained.

"Sounds fun," Daichi mumbled. "It's fun if you wanna make it fun!" Yaya told him. Kukai stared at her, "How do you make clicking at objects in a store fun?"

Yaya shrugged, "What can't we make fun? The whole time I've known you we were always able to make the most boring things fun! I remember studying for tests with you in middle school and you would always make it fun! Like, when I would get a question right when you'd quiz me you'd give me piece of candy! And when I got it wrong you made me go into your Kaidou's room." Yaya shuddered after saying the last line, "Ew, just thinking about Kaidou's gross room sends chills back up my spine," She mumbled.

Kukai and Daichi laughed, "You went in there once and the rest of the time studying you got all the answers right!" Daichi told her.

"Oh, I remember I told you that you got an answer wrong as a joke and you started crying, begging not to go back in there for a minute!" Kukai laughed.

Yaya punched his arm, "Hey! You're his brother so you're use to Kaidou's smell but I'm not and that smell was disgusting!"

"Can you two please be quiet?" Mrs. Yuiki asked. Yaya and Kukai looked at her and saw she was talking on her cell phone. Yaya nodded and Kukai muttered a sorry to her.

After three or four minutes in silence, Mrs. Yuiki got off the phone and sighed, "Hiro can't make it to do the registration. He's in a meeting that he can't get out of."

"Oh, well that's not good," Yaya said. Kukai rolled his eyes, "What nineteen year old goes to meetings?"

Yaya smiled at him, "You did and still do! You're a big time soccer star who had a lot of meetings about which team you would join. You still go to meetings today!" she reminded him.

Kukai sighed, I don't wanna be on the same level as that guy, stop saying that stuff that makes it seem like we're the same! He thought.

"Well, what are we going to do now?" Pepe asked Yaya. Yaya shrugged. "Mama, are we still going along with the register thing?" She asked.

Her mother turned into another road, "I told them we would take care of it. Is that okay with you two?"

Yaya nodded, "Fine with me. Kukai?"

Kukai shrugged, "Yeah, I got nothing else to do today." Mrs. Yuiki nodded and continued to drive.

"What about practicing your soccer?" Yaya asked Kukai. "Like I said, I got nothing else to do today," He repeated.

Yaya giggled, "You think too highly of yourself,"

Kukai grinned brightly, "Yeah, but I'm really good! Even better with Daichi! I don't need to practice too much like the other guys on the team."

Yaya nodded. She knew Kukai was a great soccer player and even greater with Daichi's help.

The car came to stop and Yaya and Kukai both looked out the window and saw a very big and fancy store in front of them.

"This is the store mama?" Yaya asked. Her mother nodded and got out of the car. Yaya and Kukai got out of the car just as fast, with Pepe and Daichi following. Yaya put on her sunglasses and looked over at her mother, "Mama, how are we gonna do this?" She asked.

Her mother started digging in her purse for her cell phone, "Well, I'm meeting the family accountant down the street to talk finances, but first I'm going to let them," Her mother pointed to the store, "know you're here. I'll get you the guns and you can check off things on your own. I'll be back in about an hour, okay?" Mrs. Yuiki explained, starting to text on her cell phone.

"Right mama!" Yaya said, walking up to the doors. Kukai followed her, then Mrs. Yuiki. "Wait right there," Mrs. Yuiki told them and walked up to the Costumer Service counter.

"So, how are we gonna do this?" Kukai asked Yaya. Yaya shrugged, "Well, I'll click on the girl things I want, and since you and Hiro are both guys, I'm sure you can get the same stuff Hiro would get."

"So, you want me to get stuff I think Hiro would get?" Kukai asked.

Yaya shrugged, "Well, I don't know! Get stuff you would get if you were registering with your fiancée. I'm sure whatever you get it would probably be the same as what Hiro would get."

Kukai rolled his eyes, "You're putting us on the same level again," He mumbled. Mrs. Yuiki came back over, carrying two little check-out gun things and handed them to Yaya and Kukai.

"Thanks mama!" Yaya said happily. Mrs. Yuiki hugged Yaya goodbye and waved goodbye to Kukai then left the store.

"Okay, so how do we do this again?" Pepe asked. "Just choose what you want, aim the gun at the barcode and pull the trigger! This is gonna be fun!" Yaya said happily.

"Girls and shopping," Daichi groaned. Kukai laughed and the four of them started walking around the store.

Yaya was over at the kitchen appliances and Kukai was at bedroom furniture.

"Why aren't you checking anything out, Kukai?" Daichi asked. He shrugged, "I don't know how the little runt thinks so I don't know what he would want for his "pent house" lifestyle. Knowing him the minute he and Yaya move into that stupid pent house it will already be furnished and all the registering Yaya and I did was for nothing." he mumbled.

Daichi thought for a moment, "That might not be true, but," Daichi grinned and floated right in front of Kukai's face, "Why don't we have some fun with this?!"

"Fun like what?" Kukai asked. Daichi pointed to the gun, "Instead of getting stuff you think Hiro would like, do what Yaya said and get stuff you would like! You and only you!"

Kukai thought for a moment and glanced around the furniture part of the store. He grinned mischievously at Daichi and nodded, "Yeah, now that I think about, that can work."

Daichi nodded, "Yeah, and if that Hiro guy doesn't want any of it then you can just take it and use to for your house and your house does need furniture."

Kukai snapped his fingers and smiled, "That's all the motivation I need to do this!" Kukai and Daichi quickly ran around the furniture department and started clicking away at dressers, alarm clocks, nightstands and headboards.

Kukai walked over to the kitchen area and saw Yaya looking at a microwave.

"Hey," He said, walking past her and clicking on a coffee maker.

"You think Hiro drinks coffee?" Yaya asked. Kukai shrugged, "Um, well if he works with his dad in a big company then I'm sure he's gotta drink coffee."

Yaya nodded, "well, he'll be the only one using that since I don't drink the stuff." Kukai nodded and continued looking around with Yaya. They picked out a very nice kitchen table with matching chairs (that would look good in Kukai's house and maybe Hiro's pent house), a blender, cups and plates, silverware and a dishwasher.

"I didn't think you would get so into this Kukai," Yaya said, looking at the price tag of a toaster.

Kukai shrugged, "Hey, I wanna help my best friend find furniture for her future home." Yaya smiled at him, "Did you get bedroom furniture, Kukai?" She asked, glancing at a bedroom set in the corner.

"Yup! Dresser, nightstand, alarm clock,"

"What about a bed?" Yaya interrupted him. Kukai stopped and thought for a second, "No I didn't."

Yaya sighed but her smile didn't leave her face, "Well, we're done with kitchen stuff. We got time to check out the beds before heading over to the bathroom stuff. Come on," Yaya said, pulling Kukai with her over to the other side of the store.

Kukai followed her and soon they were surrounded by bed after bed after bed. "How do we pick a bed?" Daichi asked.

Yaya shrugged, "I don't know. We could get a big bed, small, a water bed, there are all different types of beds here," Yaya said, pointing to each individual bed.

Kukai smiled as a thought occurred to him, "I know how to figure out which bed is the best!"

Yaya looked at him, "How?" She asked quizzically.

He grabbed Yaya's wrist and pulled up to the closest bed, "By jumping on them!" He shouted, kicking off his shoes and jumping up onto the bed.

Yaya stared at him in shock and started reaching for his hand to pull him down, "Kukai! Kukai stop it! You're gonna get us in trouble!" Yaya told him.

Kukai smiled and jumped over to the next bed, "I'll only stop if you come up here and jump with me! It's your bed and you want a bed you can jump on, right?" he asked her.

Yaya sigh and glanced around. No workers were around in this part of the store, no customers either. She sighed and kicking off her flip flops. Kukai extended his head and pulled Yaya up on to the bed.

Yaya started jumping and soon the frown on her face disappeared and she was jumping from bed to bed with Kukai, laughing and playing around.

Yaya grabbed a pillow from one bed and started hitting Kukai with it and Kukai got back at her by tackling her to another bed and tickling her.

"Okay! Okay! I can't breathe Kukai!" Yaya shouted, her feet kicking rapidly as Kukai tickled her and she was unable to control her laughter.

Kukai laughed and sat up, "Ha-ha! I win again!" He said in triumph. Yaya caught her breath and punch Kukai in the arm, "Not funny! I couldn't breathe!" She protested.

Kukai rolled his eyes at her, "That's the point of laughing! Laughing until you can't breathe and you hit me with the pillow! I had every right to tickle you." He said, matter-of-factly.

Yaya glared at him and turned her head to see the damage they did on the beds. "Oh, boy, we're in trouble." she murmured.

Kukai looked behind him and saw all the beds blankets were turned over and the pillows were all over. One of the beds blankets weren't even on the bed! They were lying on the floor next to the bed.

"Who knew just jumping on beds and jumping from bed to bed that we'd do so much damage." He chuckled.

"Should we clean it up ourselves or tell somebody or," Yaya asked.

Kukai shrugged and checked his clock on his cell phone, "We don't have the time. You're moms gonna be here soon and we still need to get bathroom stuff and living room stuff."

Kukai stood up and walked over to where their shoes were, Yaya quickly following him, "So, we're just gonna leave the beds like this?" She asked.

Kukai thought for a second, "We could straighten them, but they won't look professional like before." He said, putting on his shoes. Yaya slipped on her flip flops and the two of them walked around hastily putting the pillows on the bed and straitening the sheets and blankets.

They were done in minutes and Yaya picked up the two guns they dropped on one of the beds and handed the other back to Kukai. "Come on, we gotta hurry!" She said, and pulled him all the way over to the bathroom area once his shoes were on.

They clicked away at towels and bathroom sinks and fancy bathtubs. Once the bathroom stuff was done, Yaya pulled Kukai over to the living room area and they started clicking on sofas, televisions, coffee tables, lamps and clocks.

"You think we got enough?" Kukai asked, clicking on the same lamp's price tag over twenty times.

Yaya nodded, "Yeah, let's go get the list printed out and then we'll meet my mom outside."

Kukai nodded and walked with Yaya to Customer Service. She handed over the two guns and the woman behind the counter started hooking things up and pulling things out, typing away on her computer and then a list started printing out of the printer.

The woman smiled and handed the list to Yaya. "Oh, and congratulations you two. You guys are a really cute couple," The woman cooed to them.

Yaya stared at her and then looked at Kukai, "Oh, um, we're not-"

"Thank you ma'am!" Kukai cut in, flashing a smile at the woman, "You have no idea how many times I had to pop the question for her to finally say yes! This little one is stubborn!" He joked, giving Yaya a hug.

Yaya blushed and pushed Kukai's hand off of her, ending the hug. Kukai laughed, "You're so shy Yaya!" He leaned in closer to woman behind the counter, "She doesn't believe in public display of affection. I don't know what we're gonna do when we kiss on the wedding day." He whispered loud enough so Yaya could still hear.

Yaya huffed and punched his arm and pulled him away from the counter, "Thank you for the help, ma'am." Yaya said, pushing Kukai out of the store.

Daichi and Pepe were both laughing until they cried and Kukai felt like falling to the floor.

"That wasn't funny Kukai! You and I both know I'm not marrying you!" Yaya told him once they were out of the store.

Kukai held back his laugh, "Come on, Yaya! That woman doesn't know who you're marrying! Besides, it was funny!"

Yaya pouted, "Maybe for you! But it was embarrassing for me." Kukai rolled his eyes at Yaya, still chuckling, and grabbed the list out of her hands.

"Let's see how much people are going to spend buying your wedding gifts," He said slyly, scanning the list for the total price.

"Holy-!" Kukai paused and showed the price to Yaya. Yaya gasped, "twenty-five thousand dollars?!" Yaya shouted.

Kukai took the paper back, "You know what they say. It pays to get married." He said nonchalantly.

Yaya's shoulders fell, "Well, Hiro's family is friends with a lot of wealthy people and I think they're inviting them so we might be able to get everything on the list."

Kukai nodded, "Yup, and look," He pointed to the entrance to the parking lot and Yaya saw her mother's car driving up to them.

The car stopped in front of them and Yaya and Kukai jumped in. "Thanks for coming today, Kukai. I don't think I could have done all that without ya!" Yaya told him happily, casually dropping the piece of paper in the passenger's seat so her mother could see later.

Kukai nodded, "I told you, I had nothing else to do today and I wanna help with the wedding. If you need any help with any of the wedding stuff, just call me. I have nothing to do for the rest of my break anyways."

Yaya smiled, "Good! Because on Sunday me and Amu and Rima are going to pick out dresses and I want a guys opinion for my wedding dress and for the brides maids dresses! And I need help picking a maid of honor!"

Kukai's face turned glum, "D-Dress shopping?" He asked. Yaya smiled and nodded her head, "You just said anything, Kukai."

He sighed in defeat, "Damn. You got me there,"

Yaya giggled, "Yeah, and it's also payback for making me laugh until I couldn't breathe."

"No way!" Kukai shouted. Yaya laughed even harder and shook her head, "You can't get out of it! I'm gonna make sure you go!"

"And how are you going to make sure of it?" Kukai asked. Yaya reached in her pocket and pulled out the little silver key from before, "I can get in and out of your house in no time!" She smiled.

Kukai crossed his arms over his chest and huffed, "Damn me for giving you that key," he mumbled.

Yaya laughed and put the key back in her pocket, "Thanks Kukai! You rock for helping me with this!" She said, giving him a tight hug. Kukai grinned and hugged her back. Hey, if Kukai had to deal with dress shopping and looking at furniture only to get hugs and praises from Yaya at the end, he wouldn't mind the wedding planning.

To be continued . . .
