Author's Note: PLEASE READ!
Sorry about the delay with this chapter but after not being able to come up with another original chapter, I decided to end the story with the long-awaited wedding chapter.
This is the VERY LAST chapter of this story and I want to thank everyone for their support and for making this my most-watched, most-reviewed, fave'd, and second-highest viewed story here on fanfiction. (171,900 views as of this writing – Feb. 19, 2015)
As most of you know, I will be taking an extended break from writing, at least until I can come up with another original idea for a fan-fiction story based upon an anime or manga I am well-versed in.
Just remember, that this story is now complete, with no plans on being continued or to follow Tamiko as she grows up. Sorry about that, but it isn't going to happen nor will I want or allow anyone else to continue in that direction with my original character.
Thank you once again for your support. Now, onto the last chapter! Enjoy!
…..
July 18th, 2015. 12 noon, Aono residence.
Even though the wedding day plans had been successful, Moka was still a nervous wreck. She silently prayed that nothing would go wrong on her and Tsukune's very important day.
Considering they would finally be officially joined as husband and wife, they each slept in their own beds the night before, much to Moka's chagrin. Tamiko was very happy to have her surrogate mother spend the night with her in her bed, of course.
But Tsukune calmly explained to her that they would indeed have a very busy day and it would be best if they got plenty of uninterrupted slumber since Moka liked to "fool around" nearly every night and keep him up until all hours of the night and early morning.
After she eventually calmed down, she happily complied, and told him that he was right as usual and they had plenty of time to spend together in the future. Several thousand years or longer since they were indeed immortal.
...
As the time drew near, Koji had everyone pile into the blue, family sedan and had driven them to the Church located in downtown Tokyo so they would have plenty of time to get themselves prepared.
Tsukune's mother Kasumi wore a beautiful pastel peach two-piece ensemble that consisted of a knee-length skirt and matching jacket. His father Koji sported a black suit with a white dress shirt along with an aqua blue tie.
Moka asked Koji to keep an eye out for any suspicious activity while she and her soon-to-be husband Tsukune got themselves ready in separate rooms located in the back of the church. Her future father-in-law would act as an 'usher' to seat the guests in the pews of the church. Gin was to be Tsukune's best man.
The ebony-haired, male, vampire politely asked the former newspaper club president to behave himself and also made him promise not to "hit on" any of their female guests or Moka's bridesmaids, like he had a bad habit of doing whenever he met an attractive female, whether they were either human or yokai,
Moka had asked her witch friends Ruby, Yukari, and Tsukune's overly-hyper cousin, Kyoko to be the maids of honor. Her "adopted" daughter, Tamiko would be the flower girl naturally, as she was rather eager to help out in any way that she could.
All three ladies wore matching, classic pastel-pink dresses, which coordinated with the flowers in the church. Their dresses were snug around the bodice but not too revealing.
"Mom, thank you so much for helping me out with everything," Moka told Kasumi who had helped her get dressed and assist with her hair and makeup.
The littlest vampire, Tamiko was dressed similarly like the bridesmaids, but her dress was more suited for her age. Grandmother Aono was present as well and was dressed in a simple lavender dress with a matching jacket. She just smiled as she admired her granddaughter who looked absolutely perfect in every way.
Moka's wedding gown was all white with a subtle 'v' neck, Strapless and snug at the bodice like her bridesmaid's dresses; it hugged her impressive bosom, only studded with hundreds and hundreds of tiny silver-hued pearls. It flared out into a flowing full-length skirt with layer upon layer of white and silver petticoats.
The train of the dress was nearly two meters in length. The veil was made from a lightweight, gauze-like material that would partially conceal her face but allowed her to see through it from her point-of-view.
Her gown was perfect in every detail and made even more breathtaking when worn by the vampire princess.
Kasumi gave her soon-to-be daughter-in-law a once over and made sure that everything was properly in place. Her makeup was tasteful, and enhanced her natural radiant beauty. Light red lipstick, silver eye shadow, and a light dusting of pink blush on her cheeks.
"You're welcome, Moka, dear. Just try to relax a little bit and everything will be fine. I must admit; you're looking quite lovely right now. I just hope Tsukune doesn't pass out when he sees you in this wonderful dress," she told Moka as she gave her a firm hug.
Moka however blushed bright crimson from the honest compliment.
After the two women ceased bonding, Kasumi, Tamiko, and Grandma Aono excused themselves, so as to give Moka some quiet time as she wanted to go over the vows she wrote early last month. She just prayed once again that everything would be fine.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the closed door.
"Who is it?" Moka asked as she continue to go over her wedding vows.
"Moka, it's me – Ruby. May I come in for a minute?" the elder witch asked.
"Yes, please," the vampiress replied. Ruby then pushed open the wooden door and ran into the room in a slight panic.
"Um Moka... we have a slight problem," Ruby said.
"What's wrong? What kind of problem?"
"Well, um- the thing is – uh – the minister kinda came down with a slight case of food poisoning," Ruby answered.
"What?! Are you serious?" Moka shouted as she shot up out of her chair and placed her shaking hands on Ruby's shoulders.
"But don't worry Moka. We can fix this," Ruby said in a quiet voice as she attempted to have Moka calm down before she had a fit. Or put someone through the roof.
"How Ruby? Without the minister, Tsukune and I can't get married!" Moka wailed as she was on the verge of tears.
"I know that Moka – but the Headmaster can marry you," Ruby said with a small smile.
"What do you mean, Ruby?" Moka asked in mild confusion as she cocked her head to the side.
"Well, he's an ordained minister. Do you really think that the robes he wears are just for show?" the raven-haired witch replied with a smirk.
"Yes, I thought his robes were just for show. Do you think he'll mind? I mean he's our guest and - * sigh * - well, it would be a big help and we wouldn't have to postpone our wedding," Moka said as her shoulders slumped in mild defeat. What's the worse thing that could happen, right?
"Did someone mention my name?" Mikogami said as he strolled into the room where Moka and Ruby had their private chat. He actually looked normal for once, dressed in an all black suit with a minister's collar. Underneath his left arm, he carried a Bible.
It was almost as if he knew something would happen and that is services might be needed.
"Oh, Headmaster – yes. We need your help..." Ruby started.
"I know Miss Toujo. I'd be more than happy to help out my former students, no strings attached. I mean, it is a big day. Isn't that correct, Miss Akashiya?" Tenmi said with a grin.
"Oh yes – thank you for your help, Headmaster," Moka said with a polite bow.
"You're quite welcome. Come Ruby – let's get this show on the road, shall we?" Mikogami said as his assistant walked over to his side. The Headmaster and Ruby quickly left the room so they could get him prepared for the occasion that was underway, since Moka's good friend Ayumi had already sung her song that signaled the start of the actual ceremony.
…
A moment later, Koji met Moka in the back of the church. She was ready to go and start her new life as Tsukune's one and only wife.
"All set, Moka?" he inquired, while smiling warmly.
"Yes, dad. I'm ready" she happily replied, smiling in return.
"Let's go, daughter-in-law" Koji answered, arms intertwined, so she could make her grand entrance.
A few minutes later as if on cue, the door at the rear of the Church opened and there she stood. The vision of absolute perfection in every sense of the word. Moka Akashiya.
As one, everyone looked towards the back of the church.
And everyone was struck silent at the sight of the Vampire Princess.
She stood holding a small bouquet of pink and white roses. Head held up, and proud, with a bright smile upon her face.
"Tamiko, that's your cue," Koji whispered to the little vampire.
"Oh yes, grandpa," Tamiko said with a bright grin.
She held in her right hand a small, wicker basket filed with pink and white rose petals. Tamiko then started the long walk towards the front of the church as she scattered the petals on the floor, every meter or so as she was instructed earlier by Kasumi.
Tsukune's father, Koji had Moka on his arm as they slowly walked down the red carpeted aisle as the organist played 'Here Comes the Bride', towards the flower-covered canopy and a waiting, and somewhat-stunned wedding party.
Moka's waist length, auburn hair was not tied into her usual ponytail, but was arranged in a complex spiraling braid at the back of her head. Small, white Baby's Breath flowers intertwined in her long, flowing, locks.
Once the soon-to-be bride arrived at the podium located in the front of the church to join Tsukune, a collective sigh came from the mesmerized audience as she arrived at the canopy.
Moka gave Koji a light kiss on the cheek as her thanks.
"Thank you, dad", Moka replied, as he backed up a bit.
"Ah, it's because Moka's father wasn't able to make it, so she asked me to give her away. It really was my pleasure." Koji plainly explained.
"Thanks, dad" Tsukune gladly replied with a warm smile when he finally got an eyeful of Moka's radiant beauty. He immediately placed his left hand over his nose to prevent the nosebleed he felt coming on at full force.
"No, thank you, son," Koji replied as he made his way to join Kasumi, who sat in the second row of pews. Tamiko followed right behind him and sat next to her great grandmother, who was nearly in tears at the sight before herself.
Tsukune and Moka turned to Headmaster – make that Minister Mikogami, who was still entranced by the beautiful vision who stood before him and was rendered speechless yet again by how lovely his former student, Moka looked.
"Father, you can begin now please," Tsukune whispered to the Minister who seemed to be still lost in his own little world at this moment.
Gin who stood off to Tsukune's left side, nearly fainted as well when he got an eyeful of Moka in her gorgeous wedding gown.
'Tsukune, you lucky bastard!' the werewolf yelled to himself as he angrily shook his left fist in utter frustration. Gin had his camera hung around his neck to take photos of the procession at Moka's request, which he hastily agreed upon. He knew very well that there would be plenty of 'eligible' women who would attend the wedding and reception afterward who he could hit on.
He quickly snapped a few photos as Moka and Tsukune gazed lovingly at one another.
Minister Mikogami like the pro he was, did not miss a beat.
...
"Ladies and Gentlemen, we are gathered together in this place today, to witness the joining together of Tsukune Aono and Moka Bloodriver Akashiya. Two lives who have chosen to become as one in the bonds of Holy Matrimony."
After a moment's pause, Minister Mikogami continued: "Marriage is a sacred and binding obligation. One that must not be entered into frivolously, or for personal gain. If there is anyone here, who knows of a valid reason why these two should not be joined together this day, let them speak now, or forever hold their peace."
Moka's older step-sister, Akua Shuzen was present, in her father's absence. She witnessed the sight of the ceremony with her own, two, eyes.
'My dear, little sister Moka; I do wish you and your beloved the absolute best. But I would never trade places with you for anything in the world', the dark-haired vampiress said to herself. The eldest of the remaining Shuzen sisters was dressed in a floor-length gown, that matched her ebony hair.
Seated next to her was her younger step-sister, Kokoa, who remained quiet and decided to finally accept Tsukune not only as Moka's blood-mate, but her husband as well.
Minister Mikogami continued.
"In place of the usual vows, Tsukune and Moka have chosen to use their own which they have written themselves. You may now proceed, Tsukune."
Tsukune and Moka turned to each other, smiled brightly, and firmly held each others hands.
The vows they spoke were but the mere surface of the true love, complete devotion, and eternal commitment that was between them.
Tsukune began:
"Moka, in front of everyone here, whether they be family or friend, who witnesses these vows, I promise to you that I will always love you, honor you, cherish you, protect you, and stand by your side and make you the absolute center of my life. In the sunshine, and the rain, in good times and bad. In danger and in safety. My life and all that I have and am, is yours, as yours is mine. From this day forward and throughout eternity, there is no you or me, now only us. I will live for you, and if necessary, will die for you. My dearest, sweet Moka, if I could relive one moment in my life, it would be this one, right here and now. I love you more than anything in the world. I will always be right here, beside you. That's where my place is."
''Oh Tsukune, I do love you so very, very much', Moka told herself. Tears quickly formed at the corners of her hazel-green eyes as her one-an-only Tsukune said those words to her. The words she had heard in her dreams and now in reality. She did not want that moment to end, any time soon.
After her heart-rate returned to a somewhat normal level, she knew that there was but one reply to his heartfelt declaration of his never ending love for her and her aloe:
"My dear Tsukune, when I first met you nearly four years ago, I never dreamed I would be here, to stand in this holy place before our friends and loved ones and pledge to live our lives as one. All this time, you have taken me into your life, and loved me, accepted me...all of me, cherished me, made me the center of your world. Even when you had a difficult time putting those feelings into words, I knew that you loved me and only me. We have been through and have seen so much together since we met, and even through the bad times, you have never turned your back on me or left me behind. You have always put me and my feelings first, before your very own, and I owe you my very life. You have saved me from a fate far worse than death itself. The loneliness that I had experienced while growing up, evaporated the moment that you came into my solitary, sheltered, life. I make this vow before all these witnesses that I will always remain by your side, in good times and bad. I vow to always love you, honor you, cherish you, defend you, and will grow old with you. That is where my place is. You will be at the center of my life, and my love for you will be as strong a hundred years from now, as it is today. I will always love you, my dear, sweet Tsukune, forever."
…
…
The blood-bond that they shared between themselves was stronger now than ever before.
There was not a dry eye left in the entire church after everyone heard for themselves Moka's declaration of her undying love and devotion for her blood-mate and love of her life, Tsukune. Mizore cried pure tears of joy for her friends, whom she only wished the absolute best for.
Kokoa broke down and lost all self-composure. She knew that her big sister was now one with Tsukune. But she had promised that she would not interfere in their lives and would always support their marriage for all of time.
Tsukune's parents felt more love and adoration towards the vampire girl whom their son had fallen happily in love with and had grown up so much in the short time that they had been together. Moka was most definitely a positive influence in his life, that they were most certain of. Tamiko cried too, as her parents were now the real deal in every sense of the word.
The tears really flowed as all three of Moka's bridesmaids went through tissues by the boxful. And while Minister Mikogami had officiated at only a handful of weddings, even he was unable to cease a stray tear as it rolled down his cheek.
'If only other couples had shown this much devotion to each other,' he thought.
"You have witnessed the vows of these two wonderful people, and now they will seal those vows with the exchanging of the rings," the minister said after Moka spoke her emotion-filled vows.
On cue from the Minister, Tsukune reached into his left tuxedo's jacket pocket and fingered the small box his dad had given him earlier today. He opened the old, small red felt-covered box, and pulled out a beautiful gold ring with two diamonds set into it. He held out Moka's left hand as he slipped the ring onto her dainty finger.
It was a perfect fit as though it were indeed meant for her and her alone.
"This wedding ring also belonged to my great-grandmother. My dad promised to give it to me if I ever met the perfect woman someday. So now, I'm presenting it to you as a token of my eternal love, devotion and affection for you, Moka," Tsukune told her as a few more tears left salty trails down her adorable face.
Moka was completely overtaken with flooding emotions. She definitely fell deeper in love with him, if that were even possible. The vampire princess was happy beyond measure.
…
"Oh, Tsukune. It's absolutely beautiful. I will never remove it and I will cherish it, always," she told him as she placed her left hand over her heart and desperately wanted to kiss him immediately or sink her fangs into his neck, but held herself back. Now it was her turn she quickly realized.
Moka nodded to Kyoko, and the raven-haired woman took notice and handed the vampiress the ring that she had asked her to hold onto for that very moment.
Moka held out Tsukune's left hand as she slipped the ring onto his ring finger. It was 24 karat gold band with a small green-colored diamond that matched her own eyes. It too was a perfect fit.
Headmaster / Minister Mikogami finished the ceremony.
"Now that the rings have been exchanged, and the vows sealed, by the powers vested in me by the prefecture of Chiba, Tokyo Japan, it is my honor and privilege to pronounce you Husband and Wife. Tsukune, you may now kiss your bride."
Tsukune smiled happily as he lifted the veil and beheld his vampire wife's face. So pure, so beautiful, and so caring. He gently caressed her face as he kissed her passionately. She moaned lightly into his mouth, and quietly hoped that nobody would be able to hear the love and desire in her voice.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, please rise as it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you, Tsukune and Moka Aono!" The Reverend said triumphantly, once they finished their longer-than-usual kiss.
Moka Aono.
That had a very nice ring to it, Moka mused to herself, thankful that nothing out of the "unusual" happened besides the pastor falling ill.
The crowd rose to their feet, applauded loudly, and cheered vigorously as Tsukune and Moka headed down the aisle and out of the church, as husband and wife with Tamiko who happily skipped behind them.
Gin snapped a few more photos as Moka quickly sunk her fangs into her husband and took a quick drink once they were outside the Church, which caused Tsukune to blush madly at the somewhat-expected gesture.
Thankfully nobody saw that display of vampire affection, besides the werewolf photographer who gave Tsukune a hearty thumbs-up.
And they lived happily, ever, after.
THE END.
