A/N: Please read the bottom portion! Thanks-a-bunch! Now on with the story!
Chapter 12
"What the hell…?" I whispered looking at Kagura as if she had just contracted leprosy.
"You heard me! Male strippers for the bachelorette party!" Kagura, however didn't say that like a bachelorette party thing…it's was more of tea party expression she wore.
"What is wrong with you?!" I yelled getting frustrated at the boar.
"Nothing…I just…umm…er…already sorta booked them…" she told me playing with her chocolate brown hair.
"WHAT?!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" I screamed wanting to rip all of my hair out.
"No…they're gonna be here tonight at 8:00…hehe. I guess we better get decorating?" Kagura laughed trying to run from me.
"Get back here!!!" I yelled chasing her all over her house.
I finally gave in to Kagura's insane request to let the stippers in without killing them upon arrival. When 8:00 rolled around the guests for the party were already here. Tohru, Kagura, and a few of my friends from school (Hizou and Kourui). To be honest, the were my only friends in school. But, we were having a great time! We played sex related games which sent Tohru into a blushing nightmare.
The door bell rang. I stood up to answer it. I pulled the door open to reveal a pack of buff men brandishing axes.
"We heard there was a fire here Isuzu," the front one said almost barging in.
"Uhhh…" I was at a total loss for words.
"If there isn't one there will be when we're done…" he said walking in and taking his jacket off in the process.
"Take it all off! I want more!" Hizou yelled in a cute little voice.
The fireman in the back brought in a stereo and turned on the highly provocative music. The show was hot! I can't deny that, but I would prefer it if Haru was the stripper. We however ran into a snag in the middle of the show. One of the men pulled Kagura up on the 'stage' and began to dance with her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she draped her arms on his shoulders. They pulled together closer and then…poof Kagura the boar was sitting on a pile of sexy clothes.
"Okay boys time to go!" I yelled shoving them out before the smoke cleared.
"Why is there smoke?! We need a real fire truck here!" a blonde stripper yelled as he began to panic.
"No! No we don't! It's just…umm…dusty! It's dusty! Now go! I need to clean house!" I yelled pushing each of them out.
"Wow…she would rather clean than watch men strip for her…that's a first," I heard one of them mutter as they were being rushed to the outside.
I slammed the door quickly and let out a huge sigh. I glared over at the little pig sitting on her floor. She was gonna get it now…I stood up and ran after her. The rest of the party was spent with us girls talking, drinking (except Tohru), playing games and laughing.
That was my last night unmarried, and it was a blast.
All of the preparations were made beforehand. Haru and I went round and round with trying him trying to convince me for a huge wedding. We went my way in the end.
It was a small church with tall stained glass windows. It was so very romantic to have the sun glisten in and reflect off of the pure white dress I was going to wear.
The day had finally come, it was the day! I can't believe it's here! I am standing on a little stand as the skirt to my dress is getting zipped up by my maid of Honor, Hizou. She is my best friend.
"You look stunning Rin…" she gasped when the zipper reached the top.
I turned to look at myself in the mirror. The dress was a two piece set. The top was corset style with a flower design beaded in with clear beads. The skirt was simple, pure white that flew to the floor. My veil was a tiara with tulle veil that flowed behind me.
I stepped down to be greeted with a hug from the blonde girl. She hugged me tightly and then observed me up and down. Hizou took my hand and twirled me in a circle like a ballroom dancer.
"Although I don't think that you wearing white is politically correct!" she joked flashing a brilliant smile that made me laugh at her remark.
"Shhhh! No one has to know!" I retorted hitting her lightly and letting a laugh fill the room.
Hizou stepped back and folded her arms. Her hair swayed from side to side with the motion of her head. Knowing Hizou, she was thinking of something sentimental when she was shaking her head like that.
"Haru sure has done a number on hasn't he?" she asked smiling.
"What do you mean?" I returned while making minor adjustments to my veil.
"I've never seen you this happy. I've seen you laugh…barely, but I've never seen you joke so lightly and openly. It's amazing." Hizou elaborated. "It must be true love."
My heart swelled ten times bigger, it was truly love. I hadn't stopped t think about this day yet, this day…it was the day I'm going to become one with my beloved Haru. It was so beautiful. I would be his wife. It was soon to be official!
I felt tears well up in my eyes. This was a moment that I couldn't simply just not appreciate it. Hizou rushed to me and embraced me tightly. Her voice rang in my ears as she cooed sweet words to me.
"You deserve this Rin. All of this happiness, you deserve it," she reassured stroking my head lovingly. "Now, you go and walk down that aisle, say your lovey-dovey 'I do's' and kiss that sweet man."
I laughed lightly and embraced her tight with my pale arms. I felt tears roll down my cheeks from her sweet words of comfort. She hugged me back and kissed my cheek repeatedly. The sound of the piano started and Hizou picked up the bottom of her dress and headed towards the door.
"I'll see you in a minuet beautiful," she winked and practically skipped out the door.
I smiled to her and waited patiently for my time to come. I soon heard a knock at the door. I opened it to the smiling face of Shigure.
"Shall we get going, Isuzu?" he asked offering his arm up as my 'father'.
There was no way that I was going to ask my real father to escort me down the aisle. I took his arm and we began to walk towards the doorway. A strong piano sounded throughout the church where it reverberated off the walls of my ear drums.
We walked down the aisle, where we were followed by tear soaked eyes. My smile stretched from ear to ear. As I looked up I was greeted by the grey eyes of the beloved Haru. He smiled down on me as he bowed to Shigure and then took my hand.
My chest felt painful, like it was going to burst at any second. I was so happy. This was the time of my life. The feeling of happiness was one that won't fade from my hands, that won't fade from my face. For every cold night I should face, I will remember this happiness. For any night I should feel the sting of loneliness my hands will recall this feeling of total bliss.
The priest's voice rang in my ears but I drowned it out as I focused on the features of Haru. He mouthed to me "I love you". I voicelessly said "I love you too," back to him.
I don't recall everything the priest said but next thing I knew I was saying my "I do" and Haru said his in return. Then, I felt his lips on mine, his tongue memorizing the way mine moved, and we were officially husband and wife.
Now that lie that was told to me so many years ago by my father…melted away…
"When you're older you'll see, that not a single person in this world could ever love the horse…"
