Purin-chan: You'll understand the title once you read the chapter.

Lantis stood watching Ferio.
"The crown looks perfectly FINE," Lantis insisted.
"No it DOESN'T," Ferio said back.
"You're just nervous," Lantis said.
"Oh? And this coming from the person who hasn't moved an inch for the past five minutes?" Ferio snapped
back.
Lantis looked around. "Oh...I haven't.........." he stepped a centimeter away from his original place.
Ferio sighed. "Really, I don't know HOW Hikaru can handle living with you..."
"You nervous Lantis?" Eagle's voice went through his head.
"You've searched my heart already, you should know," Lantis sent his thoughts back.
"Well yeah I do know...hey I'd gladly switch places with you if you don't want to go through with 
it!" Eagle's voice said jokingly.
Lantis sent a mental glare.
"Just kidding just kidding!" Eagle's voice said.
"You ready?" Ferio finally asked.
Lantis nodded.
Ferio winced. "Come on it's your wedding day...you should look happy..." Ferio said to him.
Lantis cursed.
"Whatever, let's go."

(Music please!!! Yes yes I know it's not sad...yet, and I doubt I'll be able to make anyone cry. 
Oh by the way, I've never actually been to a wedding so don't kill me if something's odd ._.;)

".....amen," Lantis was saying prayers over and over in his head.
"CALM DOWN!!!!!!!!!!" Eagle's voice yelled at him. "Sheesh...Hikaru's not even the least bit nervous."
"Oh alright..." Lantis breathed a huge sigh.
The doors at the end of the isle opened to reveal Hikaru and Fuu, in very pale pink and very pale
light green wedding gowns. Ferio's jaw dropped. Clef kicked him from behind.
"No funny business at a wedding, especially yours," Clef whispered to him.
Ferio stood up straight again.
Hikaru was the first to walk down the isle. Sierra and Caldina were the flowergirls. Lantis met up
with her halfway.
"You look nice," he whispered to her.
"So do you," she whispered back.
Fuu walked down the isle. Ferio met up with her the same way Lantis did.
"You know it's all I can do to keep from drooling..." Ferio whispered to Fuu.
Fuu tried her best to muffle a laugh.
Both couples walked up to the priests.
"We are here today to witness..." the priest said the entire speech...thing.
"Do you, Lantis, take this young lady as your bride? To give and to care for as long as you may 
live?" the priest asked.
Lantis thought, "And even after death...yes," "I do" Lantis said.
"Do you, Hikaru, take this man as your future husband, to love and care for until death do you
part?" the priest asked her.
"Till after death," "I do," she said.
Fuu and Ferio were doing the same thing with a different priest.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife," the priest closed the book.
The crowd cheered, Umi loudest of all.
"You may kiss the bride."
Lantis lifted Hikaru's veil.
"Together at last..." they both thought as their faces got closer together.
A gunshot rang through the air. The shrill ringing of it hung for the longest time.
Lantis stood shocked as the bullet ran straight through Hikaru's neck and into Fuu's heart.
Hikaru fell into his arms.
"H......hikaru..........?" he finally got out.
"Lant..............................." Hikaru's body fell limp.
"Hi...ka...... . . ." Lantis found tears running down his cheek and landing on her gown.
Blood dripped from the wound in her neck onto her veil and shoulders. Fresh, bright red blood,
the same color as her eyes.
Another gunshot rang through the air. Lantis looked up to see Umi fallen over and dead, blood
gushing out of her head. Fuu also seemed to be dead, blood soaking through her gown around her
chest area, Ferio bent over her on the edge of insanity. Lantis looked down at Hikaru. He ran his
fingers over the wound, which was still generously dripping blood. Slowly, he lowered his head
to her heart.
Silence.

Finally the vows were over. Ferio lifted the veil away from Fuu's loving face. Their lips were less
than an inch apart when it happened. Fuu fell against Ferio, obviously dead. He caught her in shock.
"Fuu....???" Ferio found his voice leaving him.
Fuu's mouth spelled out something.
Aishiteru
He finally looked down at her limp body. Blood was flowing out of her chest, through the gown and
onto Ferio. He flipped her over.
What he saw nearly made him lay down and die right there.
The bullet was eating away at her body. She was disintegrating.
He heard another gunshot and a soft thud as another body hit the ground. Ferio looked up and saw Umi
lying on the floor, motionless, blood coming out both sides of her head. He looked past her to see
Lantis, face still completely unemotional, staring down at Hikaru, whose neck was soaked in blood.
Ferio looked back down at Fuu, whose body was near gone. His eyes were full of hate and insanity.
"Don't worry my dearest Fuu, I will be with you again soon..."

Umi screamed. Ascot looked up to see Hikaru and Fuu fall against their soulmates. He tried to stop
Umi, but she somehow got out of his reach and ran over to them. He heard another gunshot, and 
watched in horror as Umi fell to the ground, blood flowing out her head. Ascot couldn't move. He 
kept mentally telling his body to run over and help them, but he still couldn't move. The last thing
he remembered was reaching up to his mouth to muffle hysterical laughter with his hand, and pulling
it away to find it full of blood. Ascot fell to the ground, dead.
