Katie stood up and kissed his cheek."Okay..whats for dessert?"She asked, taking her plate to the sink. She began to wash it with a rag.

Hotaru smiled when she kissed his cheek, he finished his food off for the second time as he watched her walk about the kitchen, cleaning up the dishes that were dirty. "Well there is fruit salad, with sponge cake and you can't have the good cake until after the wedding tomorrow." he said to her as he chuckled a little bit, he stood up and walked over to the sink, placing his plate and silver ware into it, he even kissed her lightly on the cheek before he moved to the fridge to get the sponge cake and fruit salad out.

"Sponge cake?" She questioned since she hadn't had it before."Is it good?" She asked, washing his dishes and then drying them. She then went back to the table and sat down.

"It is very deliecious, exspeically with fruit salad and the natrual syrup that is in it." he said to her as he began to put some fruit over the sponge cake, the syrup that the fruit made by it self with some help from a little sugar was soaked up into it. He then grabbed some more plates down, a kinfe and some more forks, he then began to cut it up and place it on each plate and handed it to the three of them befire he sat down with his own plate and watched Katie.

Katie looked at the food and picjed at it for a moment before taking a bite."Mmm..It's good!"She said with a smile.

"Now didn't i tell you that it is?" Hotaru said to her as he teased her just a little bit, he then took his fork and dug into his slice of the cake, savoring every taste that he could. There was the orange, strawberries, grapes, apples, cantalope, peaches, and some pears in it, it was mainly made up of the fruits that he could find that he knew would make a good fruit salad. He was glad that she liked it after all she was eatting food from his kingdom, and it was important to him that she liked what he made for her, since she wantted to keep him as the cook.

((I'm gonna wait for palmoun and babyangel to catch up ^^ ))

((lol yea i was just thinking that lol))

Sophia nodded and held onto Alucard tightly, "Well, I guess I have to accept it sooner or later." She sniffed and looked up to Alucard through her fringe, "Are you not a little saddened by this news? I agree that he should have been banished but did you not do it with a heavy heart?"

"You are my heavy heart. Every thing that hurts you weighes heavily on my soul and i regret what i have done to hurt you." Alucard said to her as he wipes the tears from her face, he bends down and kisses her on the lips. He then picks her up bridal style and continues to move towards thier room, wantting to be alone with her and talk in private instead of standing in the hallway were everyone could hear what they were talking about.

((Well, they've had long enough to catch up XD))

Katie yawned a little." I'm tired.." She said, standing up and taking the dishes to the sink. She washed them quickly and then looked at Sarah and Isaac." You guys have a nice dinner..I'm going to bed." She said, stretching her arms out and then looking at Hotaru." Come up whenever you want." She said, brushing her bangs out of her face and then going up the steps to their room. She looked in her closet, pulling out a shirt and shorts to wear. She took her dress off and put the other clothes on. She went to the bed and laid down, looking up at the ceiling.

((i can't think of anything at the moment sorry))

Sophia nodded and clung to Alucard's shoulder with her left hand and with her right wiped away some more tears. Looking over his shoulder she saw several maids at the corner giggling as Alucard lifted Sophia up with such ease.

{RAWR! sorry its so short!}

((it is okay))

Alucard kicked open the door to thier room, placing her gently onto thier bed, he then moved back towards the door, glaring at the collection of the maids before he shut the door. "I want you to be happy again." he said to her in a calm voice as he sat down on the bed next to her, loooking down into her eyes.

Hotaru smiled as he watched Katie go up the stairs, he then stood up, nodding to the other couple at the table, washing his own dishes before he made his way slowly up the stairs. He stood out side the room for a few minutes, taking a deep breathe before he knocked on the bedroom door. "Katie, may i come in?" he called to her, wantting her to be comfortable before he walked in to get ready for bed himself, after all he really cared about her and wantted her to be comfortable before him self.

"Of course you can come in."She said, sitting up and brushing her hair out of her face.

Sophia smiled and pulled Alucard a little closer to her, "Well you can always give me a massage?" She winked and turned away from himwith her back to him.

Hotaru smiled as he opened the door, he found his love lounging on the bed, as beuutiful as the day he first day her. He pulled his clothes off, leaving his boxxers on, he then pulled a draw open, pulling out some shorts and pulling them on. "how are you?" he asked her as he walked over to the bed and sat down on it, causing it to swing even more then what it had been.

"If i can if you really want me to." Alucard said to her as he chuckled a bit, he then got even more onto the bed and began to massage her back.

She blushed when she saw him in his boxers."You could've just worn those." She laughed."I'm fine, but I'll be even better when you lay down." She said, laying back down in the swinging bed with her head on the pillow. She turned on her side to look at him." How are you?"

Hotaru smiled and chuckled a little bit as he heard her comment about him wearing his boxxers. "It is safer if i were the shorts also. I am doing a whole lot better then they day before i met you." he said to her as he laid down next to her, brushing some of her hair out of her face and stroking her shoulder in the process.

Katie moved closer to him and laid her head on his chest, looking up at him." And why's it safer if you wear shorts?" She smirked and reached her hand up, starting to mess with his hair."Wow, I must really make you happy." She said, referring to him saying he was much better then the day before he met her.

"You will find out. Yes, you do make me a whole lot happier." Hotaru said to her as he wrapped his arms around her, holding her as close to him as he could. He loved having her in his arms, it was like a blessing come true, he held her a little tighter, glad that she was in his arms and not in some other man's arms. He kissed her on the temple as he looked her over, glad that they were together.

"And why can't I find out now?" She asked, wrapping his arms around him so they could be close. She pulled the cover over them." I really love this house..and this bed." She said, touching on of the pillows." The beds so soft." She laughed and kissed him softly. "I can't believe were getting married tomorrow."

"Because you might kick me out of the bed." Hotaru said to her as he chuckled a little bit, he then kissed her back and held her closer to him as best as he could so that she wouldn't fall off the bed or disapear like he keeps thinking that she would do. "I thought you would like it all. the bed is specail made to be soft like this. I can't wait to be married to you." He said to her as he kissed her again, he then buried his nose into her hair before he kissed the top of her head and looked towards the ceiling.

"I won't kick you out of bed." She giggled, blushing when he buried his nose in her hair."Well, this whole place is wonderful. And I can't wait to be married to you either.." She said,following his gaze to the ceiling."Whatcha thinkin about?" She asked quietly.

"How i should have put a skylight in." Hotaru said to her as he smiled and looked back down at her, he kissed her temple and held her even closer to him. He then ran a hand absently through his hair as he turnned his gaze back to the ceiling, still thinking about the skylight that he shoulde put into the cieling above there bed.
