Hey guys! Sorry to keep you impatiently waiting, but the final chapter is here! –applause- Hopefully you guys will enjoy it. I'm hoping to keep writing after I'm done this story, maybe an inuyasha fic, who knows?
13. Will you say, "I do"?
Amira rubbed her eyes again, and took the hand of Tala. He brought her to her feet and out of the car. She ruffled her dress, and looked around. They had just stepped into a quite large parking lot, filled to the brim with cars! This place was packed, and all the teens were in awe. To the right, they say the most beautiful white church. It had a large field in the back, which supposedly would hold the ceremony.
"Amira, come on." Arty poked her. She nodded and followed her friends in a single fashion, until the steps of the church. As she entered, a figure caught the corner of her eye. A figure had come up behind her. She saw that it was only a stranger, carrying the wedding dress. She sighed, and continued her way inside.
As the group entered, they entered a very busy world. People were running around, talking on cell phones, rushing with flowers, and basically were all in a huge hurry. Arty grabbed Amira's arm and pulled her aside as a cart was about to run her over, with the wedding cake riding on it. Amira got to her feet, and followed Lisha and Artemis to the ladies room.
"I can't believe its happening." Lisha sighed, touching up on her make-up in front of the mirrors. Arty was leaning against one of the hand dryers, and Amira had disappeared into one of the stalls. Arty sighed and turned to her sister.
"I know, it is kind of depressing. There is now way this marriage is going to work. The only ones who are happy with this are Kate and her crew." She said, putting on some blush.
Amira had been listening to their conversation from inside one of the stalls. She didn't feeling like moving out of there, still being pretty depressed. She sighed, thinking about what life would have been like if she didn't go back to Canada.
She would have stayed in Japan. She could have enrolled in the local high school, seeing as they mostly spoke English, she wouldn't have a problem. She could've stayed with Kai and her friends, but no, she didn't. She was afraid. She kept pondering over her thoughts, until a knock came at the door of the stall.
"Hurry up! We have to go." Lisha yelled. Amira could hear the footsteps of the two sisters leave the bathroom. She quickly got up, and got out of the stall. Lisha and Arty were nowhere in sight, so she exited.
As she got out, she couldn't find the twosome anywhere. All she saw were busy people, getting ready for the ceremony. Before she could blink, she was lost in a sea of people with cell phones. They were all chattering and rushing around. Finally, Amira caught sight of Tala's red hair. She pushed her way through the crowd and saw that he was waving to her.
"Hey, have you seen Arty and Lisha?" she asked, panting, all out of breath. Tala just smirked down at her, a huge grin on his face. He leaned down to whisper in her ear.
"Artemis, I'm not sure where the little squirt ran off to. But I hear that Lisha headed to see how the bride was doing." He winked. Amira's eyes grew big. What did Tala have in mind? What was Lisha up to?
"What? You mean you didn't…"
"Oh, you just wait and see."
Amira just shrugged and followed Tala to the reception area, where all of the other people waited, before the ceremony would begin.
With Lisha-
'Now, which room was it?' Lisha pondered, making her way down a large hallway. There were so many doors, yet which one to choose. She heard footsteps coming from behind her. Whipping around, she saw that it was only a waiter, carrying drinks for the awaiting guests. This would be the chance.
"Excuse me sir?" she approached the waiter.
"How may a help you?" he asked, getting close to her. At this point, he was at least a head or two taller than her, making her feel really short. Lisha just smiled, looking up at him.
'Man this guy is cute.' She looked him once over. He had a really nice build, definitely with rippling muscles. Just like Amira, Lisha couldn't help but drool. He also had a gorgeous chiseled face, and sandy blond hair that fell in front of his eyes, but enough so that he could still see.
"Miss? What did you want?" he asked again, making her snap out of her trans. Now, the plan was going to be put into action. She raised her arm, so that it snaked around his neck. The man blushed at this, making Lisha giggly seductively. She smiled at him.
"You're what I want." With that, she opened the closest door. Thankfully, it happened to be a closet. She led him quickly inside. All the people could hear outside the door was mere giggling.
KNOCK KNOCK.
Two girls waited impatiently in front of the closet door. They were both curious to what was going on in there. Many of the guests were asking questions and were getting a little uncomfortable. The first girl was about about 5'6, with shoulder length dark brown hair that was layered and flipped out. She was wearing dark eye shadow, just to show off her artistic side. She was wearing a white summer dress, with a white business jacket over top. She also wore the nametag "Jessica". The second girl was a little shorter, around 5'5. She had longer hair, which was a bright red colour. It was tied up in a ponytail, and had a clip in the back. She wore the same White jacket as the other girl, but she wore a red shirt that showed off a bit of her stomach. Much against her will, she wore a black skirt, and black platforms. She also had a nametag, which read "Virginia." Looking at their appearances, they were both waitresses, and both were getting impatient.
"Come on, open up." Jessica whispered, knocking on the door again.
"I bet you its Jack. He's always getting the ladies." Virginia smirked, sliding down the wall and sat on the floor, putting the drinks down.
"Yeah, but on the day of the wedding? He should know better." She exclaimed, crossing her arms, waiting for the doors to open.
After a few minutes, the door creaked open. Out stepped Lisha, wearing the black tux that the waiter was wearing earlier. She was fixing her hair. After her, came the waiter, in nothing but his underwear (well, boxers and one of those tank thingies, don't get any ideas ) Both were blushing like mad.
Both of the waitresses were staring at the waiter, wide-eyed. But then Jessica's face broke into a smile, making the other girl giggle. Jack just blushed and turned around. Lisha smiled.
"Would you guys know by any chance, where the bride is getting ready?" she twinkled.
"Um, it would be three more doors, on the left." Virginia pointed out. After, both waitresses, giggled and led Jack down the hall, and disappeared into another room, leaving Lisha all alone. She sighed, picked up the drinks, and made her way down the hall.
Finally finding the door, she composed herself and knocked. After about a minute, a lady in an awful pink suit opened the door. She looked like one of those olf British snobs that sit around, drink tea, and gossip about people that were beneath them.
"May I help you?" she asked, keeping a very narrow space between then. Lisha was beginning to get nervous. She finally walked in, and was amazed by the room. It was enormous! And in the middle, there was a stand, and a giant mirror. On the stand, stood Kate, in all of her rich beauty.
"Who is it Mother?" she asked, turning around with such artificial grace, that Lisha wanted to barf. She scanned Lisha, and then put on a really fake smile. "Oh, its just one of the waiters. You can put the drinks over there." She pointed out to the table that also had the veil and the gloves on it.
'Now's my chance.' Lisha thought.
"As you wish." She murmured, and made her way over. She set the tray down. Since the waiters were offering red wine, this would be the perfect chance to get part of Tala's plan done. She smiled to see that Kate and her mother were preoccupied, and grabbed a glass, full of deep red wine. She turned her back to the two, and grabbed the pair of dazzling white gloves. Slowly but surely, she began to pour. She has finished off the two gloves, grabbed the tray and slowly sneaked out. Just as she closed the door, she heard a shrill screech come from inside the room. Lisha couldn't hold it in, so she dashed down the smiling, laughing until her sides hurt.
"Hey where have you been?" Amira questioned, when Lisha squeezed through the crowd and met up with her and Tala. The best man searched Lisha and scanned her over, raising an eyebrow.
"Where did you get that get-up?" he asked, smiling at the same time. Amira just raised her eyebrows, not bothering to question the whole ordeal.
"From a friend. I figure I would be good at this job. She caught the eye of Jack behind her, and winked. Amira turned around to see the scene, and giggled quietly. Tala just shrugged it off. Just then, Artemis ran up to the crew, panting.
"You guys wouldn't believe this! Someone sabotaged part of Kate's outfit!" she exclaimed.
"Oh, well that's no good." Lisha said sarcastically, but no one caught that hint. Tala just looked away, trying to hide the smile.
"Well, we'll see what happens. But right now, to the ceremony!" Lisha almost screamed, turning a few heads. She just smiled and followed her friends into the other room.
The cathedral was absolutely beautiful. There was a long aisle, and a beautiful alter right in the center. There were many rows of seats, and the ends had satin ribbons, flowing one by one. There were many stain glass paintings on the windows, making most of the light shine in.
Tala excused himself from the ladies, for he had to go further up front, being the best man and all. As Amira looked up to see where her friend was going, she spotted Kai.
Kai Hiwatari, in all of his glory. He was wearing a magnificent tuxedo. His hair was the way that it had always been, all shaggy, and bangs over his eyes. Amira couldn't help but stare. They had almost made eye contact, yet, Amira turned away just in time. She blushed immensely, hoping not to catch anyone's attention.
Soon enough, the crowd went silent. The lady at the organ started to play that ever so familiar tune: here comes the bride. Amira imagined herself being the bride, getting married to Kai. Her heart sank though, when she snapped back to reality. Her eyes grew wide as the bride entered.
That was the exact dress that Amira had tried on in the boutique! Amira fumed inside.
"Hey, isn't that.." Arty whispered.
"Yeah, it's the same dress."
Amira turned to the sound of Tala and Lisha laughing quietly.
"What's going on?" she tapped her friend on the shoulder.
"That." Lisha pointed to Kate. Amira eyes grew big once again. There were Kate's gloves that were a deep shade of red. She smiled, and went into a fit of giggles. When people turned their heads at her, she stopped and composed herself.
Down the aisle the bride went. People didn't care about the colour of her gloves, seeing as they almost matched the flowers she was carrying. Amira sighed, as she watched the bride-to-be, approach her groom. She looked into Kai's eyes, and saw that they were unhappy, and full of regret. Finally, the two had made eye contact, even with Amira near the back of the room. With their eyes locked, Amira tried to make a weak smile, but quickly went to a solemn face. Kai, of course, did the same. Tala watched the two closely, crossing his fingers behind his back.
As the bride took hands with the groom, the priest began the ceremony. As it dragged on, most of the people, that were part of Kate's party, cried their hearts out. Everything else just disapproved, or just said nothing and watched the couple say their vows.
Just then….
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!
Tala's phone vibrated loudly in his pocket. He sighed and apologized. He turned around, and took the call. Amira looked at his face, and saw that it grew cold, but the lightened up. He caught Amira's eyes in the crowd, and winked, although no one seemed to notice. Tala shut off his phone, and turned back around.
As the priest droned on about matrimony, Tala leaned in towards Kai. He whispered a short phrase in his friend's ear. Kai's face grew motionless, and he couldn't help but blurt it out.
"Tala, what do you MEAN my stocks went down?" he practically screamed, making all of the little old ladies jump up, quite frightened. Tala just shrugged. Kate's face grew pale.
"What-what do you mean? Your stocks went down?" she trembled.
"It means, that I can't support you. I can't give you all the little trinkets you want. We would have to live like, normal people." Kai explained, so that all could hear.
"But-but I don't want to live like that!" she whined, taking off her gloves and whipping them at the ground. "I'm sorry Kai Hiwatari, but if that's the way it's going to be, then I just can't marry you." She turned, picked up her dress, and ran back down the aisle.
"Well I never." Kate's mother screeched, chasing after her.
"And don't keep the dress!" Tala called out to them, smiling.
"Yay!" Both Lisha and Arty jumped up and down, clearly out of joy. Amira just smiled.
"Well, we still need another bride. They are paying me by the hour you know." The priest said humbly. Tala turned to him, and Kai just turned his head.
"I have an idea." Kai announced. He slowly walked down the aisle. Many people watched as he strode. Amira just stared as he made his way towards her and her group of friends. She slowly started to sweat, not knowing what was going to happen. Kai finally caught her eye contact and he made his way over. Lisha and Arty just stared like a bunch of owls. Kai didn't mind though, because he had put his arms around Amira.
"Amira." He said softly, making her shiver all over. This is what she wanted! She wanted to be with him, and it was finally coming true! She sighed quietly.
"Yes Kai?" she asked.
"You know I've never been able to forget you. You were the one that I always loved, and no one else. Kate was just an excuse to try and get over you, but it never turned out as planned. I was so happy to see you in the park that day, and you saw it the wrong way. I'm sorry."
Amira was speechless. What was she supposed to say? Kai had just poured his heart out, and here she was, nodding like a bobblehead.
"Will you forgive me? Will you be mine? We can live together, here in Tokyo. Will you Amira? Please say yes."
Tears started to well up in her eyes. Here it comes, and she knew it. She stared into his eyes, and a single tear went down her cheek. Kai raised his hand and gently wiped it away. She was ready to answer.
"Yes Kai! I will!" she exclaimed.
"Then will you marry me?" He asked, hoping to get a positive answer. Amira looked at him once again, and nodded.
"Yes Kai. I would be honoured to be your bride." She murmured.
"Then, get that dress on. I'm sure its still in that room. Go on." Kai shooed her, and she merrily went.
After ten minutes, Amira appeared again, this time, in the beautiful wedding gown she had tried on earlier that week. All she could hear were squeals from Lisha and Arty in the corner, both of them, bawling their eyes out. She smiled as she made her way down the aisle. She could barely breathe, knowing that now, she was going to marry the man she loved, finally and at last.
The ceremony went well. Both didn't have vows prepared, but they didn't need them to be written down, they just knew them by heart. Finally, the most crucial art came.
"Do you, Kai Hiwatari, take Amira Kent as your wife? In sickness and in health, through love and prosperity, till death do you part, for as long as you both shall live?" the priest performed this with great honour, having to deal with a bawling bride.
"I do." Kai smiled, squeezing Amira's hand tightly.
"A do you, Amira Kent, take Kai Hiwatari as your husband? In sickness and in health, through love and prosperity, till death do you part, for as long as you both shall live?" he asked again. Amira turned to her love, all red in the face from tears if happiness.
"I do." She smiled.
"Very well then, you may now kiss the bride." An applause broke out as Kai swooped Amira into his arms, and his mouth touched hers. It was memorable kiss, to be cherished forever. It was a kiss that anyone would want to last for eternity.
Now, both teens were finally happy.
