Iris pov

I stand by the school gates waiting for Akatsuki's mother. She was nice bit cooky but nice. I have to say between his parents he takes more after his mother. "Their's my sweet daughter!" she yells pulling me out of my thoughts and into a bone crushing hug. "Aruka hello nice to see you. If you don't mind letting me go, your crushing me." I said trying to breathe. She lets go of me taking my hands in hers. "oh this time in two weeks you will be one of us. Akatsuki is looking forward to it. The rest of the family can't wait to welcome you in." this woman is so cheerful its creepy. the drive was mostly her talking about the manor being built for us. "oh its almost done you will love it. Akatsuki is leaving decorating to you. He however had say in the layout of the manor. the gardens are beautiful Akatsuki wanted only the best for you." she said in a loving tone. After my mother and father died she has been there for me. His father as well but mostly his mom. when we arrived at the dress parlor maids helped me in to my dress.

Aruka started to tear up seeing me. "this dress has been in the Kain family for generations. one day you will pass it on to your daughter or daughter in law to where. There is one last thing before it is all said and done." she said pulling out a grey box. "Your mother gave this to me. she said if anything should happen to them. to give this to you before the wedding." she said handing it to me.

inside was my mother's Jewelry.

Tears welded up in my eyes as I remember her saying it was going to be mine one day. "Iris honey whats wrong?" Aruka said holding me. "This was my mother's she wore it when she married my father." I cried into her shoulder wishing my mother was her to see me. "oh honey your father and mother will be at your wedding. You may not be able to see them, but they will be there with you. I doubt death would keep them from being at your wedding." she said rubbing my back. "I miss them so much. that night replays in mind every night. They did nothing to Shizuka so why did she do it?" I whispered feel as I did when I was a child. "Iris honey listen to me Shizuka went mad. Your parents were in the wrong place at the wrong time." she said making me look at her. "you were delt a cruel hand of fate. My son will do anything for you. He only asks for you to be by his side." She said drying my tears. "Now lets get you ready to be the most beautiful bride." she said making me smile.
