TORADORA! SEASON 2

Ryūji & Taiga's Wedding (Our End's Beginning)

The Next Day .

At the wedding, before it started, Taiga was getting ready with her Mom in the bride's dressing room. She sat infront the mirror with her mother standing behind her chair, then her mother said "Now's Your Perfect Hour Baby Girl, Shine And Make This Moment Memorable." Then Aya walked out the room to find her seat leaving Taiga inside by herself.

Taiga sat in the now quiet room staring at herself in the mirror, reminiscing about what happened last night. She then stared at herself intensely in the mirror then said to herself in a firm & convincing manner "This Is It, Your Big Day, The Day You've Been Dreaming About And Expecting For The Past Few Months. Now's Not The Time To Be Thinking About What Happened Last Night, You Can't Let That Ruin Your Special Moment. She said looking at herself.
You Should Be Focusing On Ryūji And Yourself. It Is Your Wedding Day After All. If Minori.. Doesn't Want To Be Here, Then She've Made Her Decision, It's Too Late Now, There's Nothing You Can Do About It In This Moment.
As she stared at herself in the mirror with a strong look, she realized something. Her eyes got wider slightly as her look changed from an intense stare to a more shocked stare.

As she intensely stared.

The change her face made.

I've Been Focusing On My Friends For All My Life That I've Stopped Focusing On Myself, But Minori Saw That I Had And Did The Same For Me, She Gave Me The One Thing I've Ever Wanted, The Perfect Present, In Sacrifice Of Her Own Happiness And Mental Health. As she sighed. It Must Be Taking A Toll On Her Now. It Must Hurt Her Even More To Know That We're Getting Married.

As she held her head down.
Then she lifted it back up & looked at herself again.
I Still Love Her, But I Have To Put This Day As A Priority. Let's Forget About Minorin.. For Right Now And Enjoy The Happiest Day Of My Life." As she quickly forgot about the situation to stop herself from crying.

Taiga got up out the chair & walked out the bride's dressing room.

In the main wedding ceremony, all the guest were seated & Ryūji was standing at the alter & the wedding was ready to commence. Ryūji stood at the altar by himself, this wedding didn't have a best man or best woman, he stood up at the alter looking down at everyone in the crowd while they were looking back at him. With every eye on him he got a little anxious & his situation became awkward. Then he started thinking, he thought about what happened last night & how Taiga would be feeling right now. ("Damn, I Didn't Even Ask Her.") He thought to himself. ("What If She Can't Come Up? What If She Snaps Like What Happened At The Cultural Festival Back In 2C Because Her Father Ditched? Damn! He's Not Even Here Now! What If She Doesn't Show At All!?") Then he just clicked, stopping immediately, he shut his eyes then took a deep breath then said to himself "No. I Trust Taiga."

It was about the time of the wedding to begin & everyone that was seated stood up as the doors around the back opened for the bride to walk down the aisle. The doors flew open & everyone was now seeing the wall that was behind the once closed door, they couldn't see Taiga because she wasn't there. Then some soft, slow wedding music started playing from the musicians, the peaceful kind, as they started playing, everyone waited.

They waited then they saw Yasuko coming around the corner with a basket in her hand. She smiled excitedly at everyone with her eyes shut & mouth wide opened. She then walked slowly in sync with the music & threw flower petals on the floor with every step she took. She even waved with a bright smile as she passed everyone.

Yasuko, after she made it to the front of the aisle, turned around at everyone & swung both her hands in the air swiftly resulting in the basket flying off somewhere in the distance. She raised her hands & posed as if she was infront of a camera at a model shoot out. "Thank You, Thank You!" She shouted then giggled then stood at her seat in the front row quickly.

She got the crowd laughing a little which eased some of the anxiety off of Ryūji.

Then everyone turned to look at the back again, awaiting Taiga Aisaka.

Then in a few moments, she appeared, slowly she walked from the corner of the door to the center of the doorway, she moved so innocently & care free. The cute little smile that was on her face was priceless. Her father was the 1 to walk her down the aisle but he didn't show, Minori was to take his place but she didn't show.

She made it seem as if it didn't bother her though. She decided that she would walk the aisle by herself. As she walked to the center of the double doorway she stopped in the dead center ready to walk up the aisle. She had her head down looking at the floor with a bouquet of flowers in her hand, it seemed as if her eyes were locked onto the bouquet she was holding.

Everyone stared at her as she stood there, Ryūji stared at her also.
She then finally raised her head to look up, focused down the aisle staring right back at Ryūji. Ryūji stared down the aisle having his eyes met with Taiga's. As she looked up she had a light smile on her face. A unique & unforgettable expression of love, excitement & anticipation.
