Pinkshuchan: LALIHO! Hi everyone! Pinkshuchan here! I thank you so much all you readers out there. Hope you don't mind if some of my chapters are small. On Tuesday I got the game Final Fantasy XIII and I love the Final Fantasy Series, so I want to go play it right now before my mom comes home and steals the chance, but first I give you this chapter. After all, I know how it feels to have to wait and wait for another chapter to come up. Anyways, I hope you like it (and I also hope Shuichi doesn't do anything to embarass himself in front of Yuki's dad).

Chapter 13

Eiri's P.O.V

Oh God I'm nervous. Shuichi meeting the old man is making me so fucking nervous. Especially with Sakano hiding around so he could keep an eye out for Taki. By the way, why hasn't Taki tried a second attempt? What could be his plan? Hope it isn't anything to ruin this happiness I have with Shuichi. I love him too much to let him go. I would die for Shuichi! I'll never admit this, but I seriously would die for him.

We finally made it to the old man's mansion. Shuichi was obviously amazed from it, but he told me the size was nothing compared to the castle he lived in under the Sea of Japan. I'm sure a castle would be bigger than a mansion. According to Tatsuha, the old man had been told by Mika about Shuichi; or should I say Sango since they don't know he's actually a guy. Well, as long as Shuichi does like what he did for Tohma and Mika and as long as Sakano doesn't come out and ruin anything, everything would go ok. I hope.

"Welcome to the Uesugi Mansion." welcomed the butler as we went in "Master Uesugi will be here shortly. He is just finishing off his work."

"Thank you." I said. We sat down in the living room and waited. God, I'm so nervous, I'm sweating more than a pig. What if he doesn't approve of Shuichi? What if he finds out Shuichi is a guy? What if...?!

I felt someone hold my hand. It was Shuichi. God, how lucky must I be to have him. And right now he looks beautiful. He's wearing a blue sundress with specks of white in certain places. He has makeup on so he looks proper to meet with the old man. His hair has a silver clip in the back to keep some of it out of his face. How could anyone create such a beauty? I just wanted to take him right here, right now.

"Eiri! Glad to see you, my son." Shit! Forgot about the old man. Anyways, I might as well show him my beautiful bride.

"Hello, Father. Good to see you too." I said, hugging him. I gestured at Shuichi. "I've come with my bride. This is Sango Shindo."

The old man took a close look at Shuichi. What does he think? Would he think Shuichi is good for me? Of course he is, but still.

"So you are the young lady that has captured Eiri's heart." said the old man.

"Yes I am." said Shuichi "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Uesugi."

The old man looks at me. "She is a beauty and has manners, but I don't think she could make a good bride for you like Miss Ayaka would." What?! That bastard! Always thinking he knows me but he doesn't. Shuichi is the one for me! No one else qualifies!

"Father, Shu.. I mean Sango is the one for me. What makes you think that she wouldn't be the right bride?"

"Eiri, I understand how you would think that, but I'm just not sure if you only like her because of her looks or if you really love her. Personally, she just doesn't look like bride material nor does it seem like you both are in love with each other." The bastard old man is about to walk away and finalize his decision. I wanted to stop him but someone else has already done that.

"Wait Mr. Uesugi."

Shuichi walked up to him and faced him eye to eye. "I know I don't look like bride material but I can assure you that I love Yu... I mean Eiri more than anything. And I know he loves me too. If he didn't think that, he wouldn't choose me for his bride. Please reconsider, Mr. Uesugi."

"Young lady, I'm sorry but..." He paused, like he was in a trance. What was going on? The old man snapped out of it after a while.

"On second thought, now that I get a better look at you, you do look like bride material." Huh?! I don't believe it. One moment the old man was refusing Shuichi as my bride, and the next moment, he accepts? What just happened? I go to the window quietly while Shuichi and the old man are talking. Maybe Sakano knows.

"Sakano, you there?" I whisper. Sakano comes out of a bush.

"What is it, Mr. Yuki?" he asked "You decide to give up the princess so he can come home to the Sea of Japan?"

"Fat chance!" I tell him "Can you tell me why my father kept refusing Shuichi and then he accepts him?"

"Ever heard of 'Too cute to comprehend?"

"What?!"

"Our young princess not only has the power to heal through a kiss. He can also hypnotize whoever he wants just by giving him 'the eyes'."

"'The eyes'?"

"When he stares at you with big pleading eyes, he can hypnotize them to do whatever he wants them to do."

"And he didn't do it all the other times he needed to why?"

"It can only work if it's what he heart really desires."

"But he could've used it on Taki."

"Taki is immune to it because of some black magic he learned. But enough about all this. Aren't you making the princess your bride." He disappeared into the bush.

"Sakano!" I whisper angrily. Damn, what is with all these questions? I need to know all this if Taki comes back for Shuichi. But I guess he won't give it to me no matter what. After that talk with Sakano, I went back to see them still talking. So what if Shuichi and everything around him is a mystery. I'll find out soon enough.

Pinkshuchan: Well, I hope you guys liked that chapter, and I'm going to play Final Fantasy XIII now. Read and Review everyone.
