I own nothing.

Ayako and Monk p.o.v.

Monk picked Ayako up at the hospital. He smiled and opened the door for her. Then went and started the car. "So did you hear what's been going on?" Monk asked Ayako. "No, I was too busy. What's going on?" She questioned. "Masako told reporters from around the world Naru's gay and that he is working here under an assumed name.

"She even labeled Lin a resist Chinese bastard," Monk stated. "Your Kidding Me! That little bitch! Mai always said not to trust her. Well, thank god I listened to her and never got too personal with Masako." Ayako said glaring at the trees that we passed.

"There's more." Monk continued. "She also told them about Gene and that the only reason Naru and Lin came back was to make money off of people. If SPR gets connected with all of this it will close for good.

On a happier note. Mai and Lin are getting married Lin can legally take Mai's last name to protect him from getting hurt or worse." Monk told Ayako. "Monk, can we go to the shopping district instead of the restaurant?" Ayako asked. "Sure why?" He asked me. "I'm going to get a simple white dress for Mai and order a cake for them," Ayako said with a smile. Monk smiled said. "Sure. But I get to help with the dress."

"Where is the wedding going to be?" Ayako asked. "My family's temple. John's performing the ceremony. Since it's an English marriage license." Monk replied.

They found a scooped neck plan form fitted spaghetti strapped sheer satin gown that had an open back and small train on it. "It's perfect." "I don't know, don't you think the back is too low," Monk commented. "I can pin it stupid. It won't show her butt just her back." Ayako told him. The cake was easy. The baker was not happy about having to rush it. But understood that they were in a time crunch.

With that done we went and picked the champagne. Got them the wine glasses and cake cutters. All engraved with their names and the date on them. They stopped at SPR and took two cameras. "Naru can yell at us after the wedding," Ayako stated. Monk just smiled at her. "Well, how was our first date?" Monk asked Ayako after they had got some dinner. "It was a lot of fun," Ayako said with a smile.

She messaged Yasu with pics of the dress and cake. "We're coming to Mai's place now." She told him. Kk. Yasu messaged back.

Ayako p.o.v.

Monk went upstairs and told Mai that I needed her help with a girl issue. No one questioned him and Mai came down stairs. I was waiting for Mai to open the door and let me inside.

"Here put this on," I said while handed her the garment bag. Mai opened the bag. "Oh, Ayako! It's beautiful." Mai stammered. "Go try it on," I ordered. Mai came out in the dress. It fit like a glove. Yasu had crept down while Mai was changing and took a few pictures of Mai in the dress.

He ran back upstairs to show Monk and Noll. Mai and I were too busy admiring the dress to notice. I told Mai about the cake and cameras. "Monk is going to borrow speakers from the band so we can have a little party after." "Thank you, Ayako." Mai hugged me tight. "It was mine and Monk pleasure," I said with a smile. Mai changed and I put the dress back into the car.

Lin's p.o.v.

I knew something was up. I turned to En and told him to find Mai. En nodded and went to the apartment below them. He saw Mai in her dress. His to be mistress looked so beautiful. Mai saw En. "What do you think En?" "You look wonderful mistress." He told Mai. Mai smiled now you can tell him were fine. She gave En a smirk. He went back upstairs. I silently called for him. "She's fine master." He said with a smile. "What's up En?" I questioned. "Nothing master. I'm just happy for you." En replied. I smiled at En. "I guess that means you all approve?" I asked all five of my shikis and Mai's three. They nodded yes to me. "I'm glad," I said with a smile. "I still couldn't believe I'm getting married tomorrow night." Mai and Ayako are staying downstairs. Yasu told me. "Why?" I asked. Noll answered. "It's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding."

I sighed. "Alright but the Shiki's are going back and forth between the apartments just to let me know she's safe." "No rule that says they can't." Monk shrugged. "Say, Lin, what are you going to wear?" Yasu asked. "What he always wears," Naru said with a smirk. "I have a few that I only wear to special occasions," I answered giving Noll a glare. "Oh, that reminds me."

Yasu ran to Noll's room and grabbed his diamond studded earrings. "I want to give her this before I forget." He dashed out the door and down the steps. Naru followed him. "Where are you going?" I asked him. "I want to see what they need," Naru said. "What?" I was lost. I looked at my shiki. Naru came back inside and went back to his bedroom. When he came back out he was carrying Gene's old handkerchief.

I knew now what they were up to. "She needed something old?" I asked. "Yep, so I'm going to give this to her. I think Gene would want her to use it for her (something old) He got this when we came to live with Luella and Martin." Naru said with sadness in his eyes. "She'll love it, Noll," I said. Naru turned and headed downstairs.

Mai's p.o.v.********

Yasu was going over everything "I needed (Old and Blue) were missing." Noll stated. "I got something for old you worry about blue." Ayako was curling my hair. Naru came in with the (something old). He handed it to me. When he had laid the handkerchief in my hand Gene's smiling face appeared in my mind. Naru then told me it was Gene's. "He had got it from Luella and Martin the day we arrived in London." Ayako had stopped curling to listen to Naru. I grabbed him into a hug. As the tears fell down onto his shirt. I kissed his cheek and said. "Thank you, Noll." He hugged me back. "You're more than welcome sis." He whispered in my ear.

Yasu asked. "Where should we put it?" "I know!" Ayako hollered she folded it so the initials were facing out and wrapped it around my curls. In the finished look, my long hair was a bunch of cascading of flowing curls brought together by the handkerchief then draped over my left shoulder.

I looked at Yasu, Naru, and Monk. "You look absolutely beautiful Mai," Monk said. Yasu and Naru nodded their approval. Naru said. He liked how Ayako incorporated the handkerchief into my hair. "Thanks, I know how much her brothers mean to her," Ayako said looking at Yasu and Naru. "So all of us are represented on her wedding day," Ayako stated. "Really?" Naru asked. "Yes."

"Bou-san helped pick the dress. John gave her the necklace. Yasu the earrings. Gene and you with the handkerchief. That was his that you gave to her." Ayako smiled at him. "Your right Ayako we all are represented," Noll said with a smile. "Amm guys were still missing (blue)," Yasu stated.

Naru's p.o.v.

"Yasu come with me." I rushed to the car and drove to the nearest shopping outlets. "We ran to the lingerie store first where I grab a blue guarder and headed checked out then I ran to a men's store and grabbed five pairs of cufflinks for the men. Then ran back to the waiting car.

Yasu drove them home. Monk, Ayako, Mai, and John were in Mai's living room. I handed the guarder to Mai. Then I pass the cuff links to John and Monk. "Ok, I'm going to bed. Are you coming Yasu?" I asked. "I'll be up in a bit," Yasu told me. "Well goodnight." Left leaving just Mai and Yasu alone in Mai's apartment.

Yasu sat down on the couch and Mai sat down with him. "You're going to be a married woman, this time, tomorrow," Yasu told her. "I know hard to believe hu?" Mai said. "Mai are you ok. I know you have to be missing your mom and dad today and I was so busy with Noll and the media crap that I wasn't a good friend to you." He pulled her close to him as she started to cry. "I miss my parents and Gene so much." She said between sobs. He let her cry on him. "Yeah, I know Mai." He said to her as the tears start to stop. She looked into his eyes. He kissed her nose. "We will always be there for you Mai." "And I for all of you Yasu. You're my best friend and there my family for life." Mai said to Yasu.

Yasu leaned on her and started to fall asleep. "Yasu you need to go up to Noll," Mai said while helping him to his feet. "Goodnight Yasu." "Goodnight Mai." Yasu went upstairs to Noll and found him laying in bed wide awake. "There you are," Noll said. "Sorry, I wanted to make sure she was alright it's been an emotional day for everyone," Yasu told Noll. "Is she?" Noll asked. "She's sad but happy at the same time. She can't wait to marry Lin but at the same time she wishes Gene and her parents were here." Yasu answered him. "That's understandable," Noll said to Yasu while cuddled up and going to sleep.

Lin had listened in on their conversation. 'I just hoped Mai would be ok without me. I hate to know that she was sad and I couldn't comfort her.' En told me she had fallen asleep. Lin laid in his bed and fell asleep in a few minutes. 'I can still dream of her right?'
