Chapter Nine: Love like This
-
"Well Yaya? What do you say?" Kukai asked her once more.
Yaya stared at him, her cheeks were flushed and she was practically shaking. Hiro took a step forward, "Listen Soma, I don't know what your problem is but you're interrupting the ceremony,"
Kukai closed his eyes and half smiled, and then turned his head to Hiro, "Didn't I tell you to butt out, square?" he asked. "Now, why don't you just go sit down with the rest of your mannequin family?" Kukai told him. Hiro glared at him and was about to say something else when Yaya cut in.
"I-I don't know, Kukai," Yaya mumbled. Kukai looked back at her and pulled her across the room. They stood at the very corner of the church and Kukai made sure to whisper so no one could hear, "Yaya, even if you don't return my feelings, it's better to marry me! You'll be able to do whatever you want and the minute you're parents get the money they need, which I'll be happy to give them, you can leave the marriage and everything! It'll be like nothing's changed." he told her quietly.
Yaya shook her head, "No, that's not what I mean."
Kukai stared at her quizzically, "What do you mean then?" he asked. Yaya took a breath, "Kukai, don't think I don't love you, cuz I do! But, are you really willing to give up your hard earned money for my family? That's really big and they owe a lot. It might actually put you close to the edge," she told him.
Kukai grinned a toothy grin and put his hands on his hips, "All I heard was that you love me too," Yaya stared up at him and began to blush, "B-But,"
"No buts!" Kukai cut in, "Everyone knows as long as the couple loves each other there is nothing to worry about! I got the cash to help your family and soccer season starts up again in three months! I'll have all the money back by then and both of us will be happy! The only thing stopping all that from happening is you saying yes or no," he told her.
Yaya paused and looked back at her family. Everyone in the church was staring at them. Her parents looked distraught and worried and her friends all had a somewhat hopeful looks in their faces.
Yaya picked up the ends of her dress to make it easier to walk and she turned around and walked back up to Hiro. Kukai felt shocked at what Yaya just did and wondered if that was a no.
Yaya took a few steps in front of Hiro and sighed, "Hiro, you know this is crazy, don't you?" she asked him.
"It's not a matter of it being crazy! It's a matter of helping your family! You marrying the soccer freak will cause him to lose everything he's worked for but marrying me, it would be like give away a dollar instead of the ten thousand dollars he'd have to give up!" he explained.
"But we don't even love each other!" Yaya shot back, "Do you really want to be in a marriage with no love? I know no one would want that!"
Hiro paused and slowly shook his head, "No, I don't." he mumbled. Yaya smiled and gave him a hug, "Thank you, Hiro," she told him. Kukai walked up to Hiro and grabbed his right hand, shaking it rapidly, "Thanks dude! This means the world," he told him with a grin.
Hiro, for the first time for Yaya and Kukai to see, smiled sincerely and he proceeded to wall over to one of the pews. Kukai glanced at his family and the boys started to get up and walk up the aisle.
"Whoa, whoa, wait a moment here!"
Kukai cringed at the voice of Hiro's father and turned to him. He was walking up to them, "I don't know what you think Pretty Boy, but I paid a lot of money on this wedding for my son, not some kid I don't even know!" he told Kukai.
Kukai chuckled, "I'm sure my parents will talk to you after the wedding about paying you back,"
"No," Mr. Misubi told him, "This isn't like some manga or something! Stuff doesn't happen like this! Yaya promised to marry my son and that's what's going to happen today! Now go take your seat and Hiro, get back up there with Yaya!" he shouted.
"Dad, I don't want," Hiro was interrupted by his father, "It doesn't matter what you want, Hiro! It's about following the plan! And the plan was to marry Yaya! Now get back up there now!"
"This guy is a real bitch, huh?" Kukai whispered to Yaya. She giggled. Mr. Misubi glared at Kukai.
"Listen sir, if you have a problem with me marrying Yaya, then I suggest you leave because I do plan to marry her today," Kukai told him calmly.
Mr. Misubi shook his head, "Then we have a problem," he told him. Kukai sighed, "Then I guess we have to ask you to leave," he said, waving his hand for his brothers to hurry. Mr. Misubi was about to protest when Kaidou and Shuusui walked up behind him and grabbed his arms, leading him up the aisle and throwing him out the doors. That scene caused the whole church to laugh, and Yaya noticed everyone on Hiro's side was getting up and leaving too, and Kukai's small crowd of family moved to that side of the church.
Kukai glanced at the other side of the church and took a few steps away from Yaya and up to her parents, "Um, Mr. Yuiki, Mrs. Yuiki, I just wanna say," he paused.
"Save it," Mr. Yuiki said, standing up. "Mr. Yuiki I know this wasn't according to plan and all, but you gotta know I really, truly love your daughter and I'll help you guys with all your debt and I'm able to provide a home and food for her and she's going to be able to go to that ballet school and-" Kukai paused when Mr. Yuiki held up his hand.
"I'm, I'm glad you did this," Mr. Yuiki smiled at him. "I couldn't ask for better for my daughter. You have mine and my wife's blessing." he told him. Kukai grinned at Mr. Yuiki and gave him a quick hug, "Thanks Mr. Y! You have no idea how much this means!" he told him happily.
"Yeah, yeah! Save the hugging for my daughter! Now get back up there!" Mr. Yuiki told him, pulling Kukai away and pushing him forward to Yaya and the priest.
Kukai took Yaya's hand and they both walked over in front of the priest, and Kukai's brother's each stood on Kukai's right with Tsubasa at Kaidou's feet.
"So, you're the groom now?" The priest asked. Kukai chuckled and nodded, "Yeah; the names Kukai Soma, `kay?"
The priest nodded and opened up his book. "Ah, well, okay. I guess we can skip the opening since I already said that. And I take it no one else here has a reason these two shouldn't be wed?" he asked. Yaya and Kukai looked out at the church and no one even flinched.
"Well, okay! All this stuff I had here was for Hiro and Yaya, but since you're Kukai, I guess we can just skip forward to the end," The priest said. Kukai grinned, "That sounds easier. We're both too impatient to do a whole wedding,"
Yaya nodded in agreement. The priest nodded, "Okay, Yaya Yuiki, do you take Kukai Soma to be your lawfully wedded husband; to have and to hold, for richer or poorer, sickness and health, `till death do you part?" he asked.
Yaya nodded her head, her cheeks turning a scarlet color, "I do!"
"And, do you, Kukai Soma, take Yaya Yuiki to be your lawfully wedded husband; to have and to hold, for richer or poorer, sickness and health, `till death do you part?"
Kukai nodded and flashed the priest a grin, "I sure do!"
Kukai turned his head to Kaidou and he handed Kukai the two small rings. Kukai took Yaya's left hand and slid the ring onto her ring finger, as Yaya did the same.
The priest nodded, "Alright. Kukai, you may know-"
Before the priest could even finish, Kukai gently grabbed the sides of Yaya's face and pulled her close, connecting their lips.
"-Keep on kissing the bride," The priest chuckled as Yaya wrapped her arms behind Kukai's head.
Everyone in the church stood up and clapped for them, all the Chara's floating around and Pepe and Daichi sharing a hug and saying how nice it's gonna be, being "Chara-in-laws".
Yaya and Kukai pulled away from each other, both with huge grins on their faces and they quickly walked back up the aisle to the doors, Amu, Rima and Kukai's brothers following behind them, then everyone else in the church.
"So, you must have had this planned. But for how long?" Yaya asked Kukai as they were pulled over by their friends to take the wedding photos. He chuckled, "I was thinking about it since the start, but it became official about a week ago after the talk show."
Yaya laughed at him and gave him a hug, "I hope you've had time to think about it this past week."
Kukai nodded, "Duh! I wouldn't interrupt your wedding and marry you if I wasn't 110 percent sure I loved you enough to marry you,"
"Smile!" The photographer called. Kukai and Yaya both shared a grin and looked at the camera, both sticking their tongues out and making a piece sign.
"Can't you guys ever act serious?" Amu laughed once the picture had snapped. Yaya shook her head, "Nope!" Kukai nodded, "She's right. We're two five years olds trapped in adults bodies."
Ikuto grinned, "I wonder what the two five year olds will do on the wedding night then." he chuckled. Yaya's face turned scarlet, "Don't say such crude things in front of my little brother, Ikuto!" She shouted at him.
Kukai grinned and wrapped his arms around Yaya's waist and lifting her up some, resting his head on her shoulder, "We might be five but I'm sure us five year olds will know exactly what to do,"
Yaya's face turned brighter and she whacked Kukai's head with her bouquet, "Not funny, Kukai!" she shouted as everyone started laughing.
"Alright, alright!" Kukai laughed, pulling the bouquet out of her hands. "Guys! The limos are here!" Amu told them as the multiple long black cars pulled up along the curb. Kukai grabbed Yaya's hand and pulled her over to the first limo.
"See you all at the party!" he called, letting Yaya get in before him. He quickly jumped into the limo and closed the door with a slam.
He glanced at Yaya and she was staring down at her hands, "What's wrong?" he asked her. Yaya shrugged, "Everything is going to change now, right?" she asked him after a moment.
Kukai paused. He then grabbed Yaya's hand gently and sent her a smile, "Yes, but it'll all be for the better,"
Yaya looked Kukai in the eyes, and after a moment she smiled brightly, "Yeah! I'm sure it will." Kukai smiled at her and then slowly moved closer and kissed her. Yaya kissed him back and Kukai could feel Yaya's lips form into a smile.
