Chapter 23: A Happy Ever After
"Natsume you're home!" Kaoru greeted as she graciously went down to meet his son.
"Hello mom."
"So how was breakfast?"
"Great actually, I'm glad I'm marrying Mikan." Natsume said while smiling.
"Good, now let's go to the patio your dad and sister are waiting for us."
When they reached the patio Mr. Hyuuga and Aoi greeted them both.
"Nii-chan! You're back!" Aoi said happily as she ran towards Natsume.
"Hey there you brat!" Natsume said while smiling and carrying Aoi.
"Mou nii-chan called me a brat." Aoi complained.
Natsume chuckled at his little sister then placed her back to her seat right next to Kaoru. Natsume sat beside his father.
"Good morning dad."
"Morning Natsume, so how's my son?" Persona asked while smiling at Natsume.
"I'm fine."
"How about tea? This will be the last time that we will spend time with Natsume…" Kaoru wasn't able to finish since she was in the verge of crying.
"Mom…" Natsume sighed and went beside his mom to hug her.
"Kaoru…honey… don't cry in front of our son." Persona said while holding his wife's hand.
"Mommy? Why are you crying? Onii-chan is getting married. You should be happy ne?" Aoi said while hugging her mother.
"Oh well, I'm not losing a son anyway I'm just going to gain a daughter." Kaoru said. She looked at Natsume in the eyes and hugged him tight.
"I love you mom, thanks for everything."
"I love you too son."
"Sorry to interrupt but can I talk to our son dear?" Persona asked.
"Ok, but be quick ok? Tea is getting cold."
"Natsume, let's go my study."
"Sure father."
"Have a seat Natsume." Persona gestured to the seat next to him as they reached his study.
"What is it dad?"
"I want to give you this." Persona handed Natsume an envelope.
"What is…"
"My properties, including the company I'm running right now."
"But I thought you won't give me all of it? I mean I thought you want me to be trained?"
"I know I've trained you enough, the only time you gave me a headache is when you ran from the house with Eris, considering Mikan-chan was here with her family." Persona said while smiling.
"I'm sorry dad. I was madly in love with Eris at that time dad."
"I know. I've been there too you know. Your grandfather was really hard on me Natsume, you want to know what he did? He'd punished me if I get a grade of B."
"He did?" Natsume asked quite surprised.
Persona smiled and nodded.
"But dad, why did you decided that I should inherit all of it?"
"Natsume, you're smarter than me did you know that? You're just like you're mother. And I hope that you didn't agree to marry Mikan because of the inheritance."
"I'm not marrying her just because of that dad." Natsume answered with full confidence.
"I know you were willing to give up the inheritance when you were still with Eris, but then since your trip from Bali you've changed. You were more mature, less temperamental and most of all you learned to value the people you love." Persona said, obviously proud of his son.
"Dad, Mikan taught me so many things. I really don't know how she did it…but I don't know dad really it just hit me." Natsume confessed.
Persona let out a small laugh and hugged his son, for the first time in a long, long time.
"Take care of her Natsume."
"I will dad, I promise." Natsume said while hugged his dad back.
After their talk they went back to the patio and spent like 30 mins. talking and laughing like they used to, when Natsume was still young and Aoi was still a baby.
"Oh dear! It's almost ten! We have to go to the hotel." Kaoru shrieked.
The four Hyuugas went to the hotel after preparing their clothes for the wedding.
At the Hotel…
"Oh so you're the bride? I never knew Natsume has such a good taste! He's one lucky guy." Akito said.
Akito is the famous and most expensive make-up artist in Japan. He's been a good friend of Kaoru ever since they were both in college.
"Now, where's Kira?"
"Uh, I'm here Akito." Kira answered.
"Good, go to the groom's room and check them out whether they're in suits already."
"Ok Akira. You'll see Mikan-chan, your husband to be will be super handsome." Kira said and giving Mikan a wink before leaving the girl's room.
"Mikan-chan please stay put ok? I'll just fix your mother and Kaoru then I'll fix your hair ok?"
"Yes, thank you so much Akira-san."
"No worries, you're already beautiful you did most of the job." Akira said then went to Kaoru and Yuka.
Hotaru, Anna and Nonoko arrived at Mikan's room and went to sit beside her when they saw Mikan sitting at the bed.
"Mikan-chan!"
"Hello Anna-chan, Nonoko-chan! You guys made it! Hotaru! I'm so glad you came on time." Mikan greeted her friends enthusiastically.
"Baka, I'm so happy for you." Hotaru said while hugging Mikan tightly.
"Arigatou Hotaru, I'm really nervous you know? It's like a dream come true." Mikan said to Hotaru when she broke off the hug.
"It's gonna be fine baka. Hyuuga is madly in love with you. Ruka said he changed a lot, and I can see the way he looks at you when we were in Bali." Hotaru said.
"Ok now, I need to play with the brides maids and the made of honor." Akito said.
"Hotaru-chan c'mon it's our turn to be beautiful." Anna said.
"Yeah, c'mon let's hurry." Nonoko said.
"Well then later baka." Hotaru said as they left Mikan sitting on her bed.
"Ok, Akito-san I'll leave my friend in your care." Mikan said.
"No problem Mikan-chan now, I'll begin with the made of honor."
In the Boys room…
"Ok, just a little more. I'll put a little powder on you ok?" Kira asked Youichi.
Youichi just nodded to Kira's question. Natsume and Ruka were fixing their neck ties in front of a huge mirror. Natsume stopped fixing his tie and sighed.
"Natsume? Something wrong?" Ruka quite concern for hi best friend, he noticed that Natsume was really quiet.
"Nothing… it's just that…"
"You can't believe that you're marrying the girl you used to loathe?" Youichi asked.
"Hn, shut it Youichi."
Youichi smirked and was about to answer back but Ruka stopped him.
"Natsume, you're the heir of Persona Hyuuga, and he arranged this marriage which means it quite real."
"I know, it's just that Ruka, don't you think Mikan and I are too young? I love her I really do, but it's just that I want to do things on my own." Natsume answered.
"Don't tell me you're backing off Natsume?" Ruka asked.
"Uncle with be very furious with you and your bride to be will be devastated." Youichi said.
"I know, but… I want to learn more of our company, I want to manage it like my dad."
"I can't belive you Natsume, you're backing out on your wedding day? Are you nuts?" Ruka yelled.
Natsume looked up to his friend and smiled.
"What? Now you're smiling?"
Natsume chuckled at Ruka's mad face and hugged his best friend.
"I was just kidding, I love Mikan too much. Thanks Ruka, for helping realize that she's worth it."
"Wha…"
Youichi laughed at Ruka and said,
"Natsume loves to kid around if he's nervous. You're suppose to his best friend. Well I guess that's Natsume quite unique isn't he? Or should I say quite stupid?"
"Shut up you twerp!" Natsume gave a Youichi a light punch on his shoulders.
The three guys just laughed while fixing their tie and suites.
"Natsume, take care of her. The moment I saw her I knew you two would make a good match."
"Thank you cuz," Natsume said gratefully and messed up Youichi's hair.
"Now are yu all ready? Natsume you stand there together with you best man." Kira said.
(a/n: ok so Kira and Akito are both photographers and make-up artists).
"Ok, now let's all pose for the camera ok? Ready, 1, 2 click."
In the Girls room…
"Ok, now you may come out Mikan-chan," Akito said as soon as he finished putting the veil on Mikan's head.
Mikan emerged from the huge bathroom door , everyone gasped while looking at Mikan.
"My daughter," Yuka went to Mikan with tears streaming from her eyes.
Mikan hugged her mother and said…
"Mom, thank you for the gown."
Kaoru placed her hand on Yuka's shoulder, "It's time."
"Now, ladies, we'll take a picture first," Akito announced.
After the pictorials Natsume and the boys immediately went to the church, while the ladies remained for a few poses.
"Natsume, my son your mother called they're almost here, let's go in."
"Sure dad."
Natsume readied himself to march down the aisle.
As he marched he saw Eris seated in one of the pews together with her fiancée.
"Congratulations," Eris mouthed at Natsume.
Natsume smiled at his ex then continued marching. Natsume was wearing a black suite with a matching black pants. He's wearing a red polo shirt with a black bow. The others like Shiki, Ruka, Youichi and Persona were wearing the same thinglike Natsume's only that their polo shirts are white. Yuka was wearing a long gold gown with a red silky binder, Kaoru was wearing a red halter gown with a few beads on it. The three girls (Hotaru, Anna and Nonoko) were wearing a red long gown with one strap on the right shoulder with laces and beads on it.
Endless Love:
My love,
There's only you in my life
The only thing that's bright
My first love,
You're every breath that I take
You're every step I make
And I
(I-I-I-I-I)
I want to share
All my love with you
No one else will do...
When the song began the bride came out from the bridal car and entered the church. Mikan's champagne gold ball gown had layers of the finest silk and lace adorned with pearls and beads on the bodice, it had gold colored rose flowerrettes just below the waistline and on the right shoulder. It had one strap leaving her silky white left shoulder bare. Her hair was curled elegantly and she had a small tiara which held the veil tightly. She continued to march and people were looking at her intently, for she was the most beautiful bride they have seen.
And your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes
They tell me how much you care
Ooh yes, you will always be
My endless love
The song continued while Natsume and Mikan were looking at each lovingly.
Two hearts,
Two hearts that beat as one
Our lives have just begun
Forever
(Ohhhhhh)
I'll hold you close in my arms
I can't resist your charms
And love
Oh, love
I'll be a fool
For you,
I'm sure
You know I don't mind
Oh, you know I don't mind
'Cause you,
You mean the world to me
Oh
I know
I know
I've found in you
My endless love
As soon as Mikan reached the altar where Natsume was standing, Natsume offered his hand to his beautiful bride. Mikan took his hand and together they shared their vows.
Oooh-woow
Boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom, booom
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom
Oooh, and love
Oh, love
I'll be that fool
For you,
I'm sure
You know I don't mind
Oh you know-
I don't mind
I, Mikan Sakura, take you, Natsume, to be my friend, my lover, the father of my children and my husband. I will be yours in times of plenty and in times of want, in times of sickness and in times of health, in times of joy and in times of sorrow, in times of failure and in times of triumph. I promise to cherish and respect you, to care and protect you, to comfort and encourage you, and stay with you, for all eternity.
And, YES
You'll be the only one
'Cause NO one can deny
This love I have inside
And I'll give it all to you
My love
My love, my love
My endless love
I, Natsume Hyuuga, take you, Mikan Sakura, to be my partner, loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know. I eagerly anticipate the chance to grow together, getting to know the woman you will become, and falling in love a little more every day. I promise to love and cherish you through whatever life may bring us.
While Natsume said his vow tears started to fall. Mikan looked at him with teary eyes and wiped his tears away.
At the reception…
I finally found someone, that knocks me off my feet
I finally found the one, that makes me feel complete
We started over coffee, we started out as friends
It's funny how from simple things, the best things begin
This time it's different, dah dah dah dah
It's all because of you, dah dah dah dah
It's better than it's ever been
'Cause we can talk it through
Oohh, my favorite line was "Can I call you sometime?"
It's all you had to say to take my breath away
"You know what little girl?"
"What Natsume?" Mikan asked as she and Natsume swayed with the music, they were dancing the first dance as husband and wife.
"I'm glad I met you," Natsume answered as he looked gently at his wife.
Mikan smiled at him and asked, "What's the probability of meeting you if our parents weren't friends?"
"Like the probability of finding stars during a storm."
"Quite impossible ne?"
"Yeah, but I'll find ways to met you, maybe in the next world or era?"
Mikan chuckled and kissed Natsume on the lips. They both broke the kiss and smiled and each other.
"Nastume, I love you."
"I love you more Mrs. Hyuuga."
(Chorus)
This is it, oh, I finally found someone
Someone to share my life
I finally found the one, to be with every night
'Cause whatever I do, it's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone, ooh, someone
I finally found someone, oooh
Did I keep you waiting, I didn't mind
I apologize, baby, that's fine
I would wait forever just to know you were mine
And I love your hair, sure it looks fine
I love what you wear, isn't it the time?
You're exceptional, I can't wait for the rest of my life
(Repeat Chorus)
Whatever I do, it's just got to be you
My life has just begun
I finally found someone
As the song ended, two lives are about to change, with their love strong and true for sure they will live happily ever after.
