TORADORA! SEASON 2

Ryūji & Taiga's Wedding (Ryūji's Vows & A Surprise)

It was now time for the vows to be said as the Priest gave them the alter. Taiga stared at Ryūji, into his eyes, so innocently & Ryūji just stared right back onto hers. Then... standing infront each other they grabbed onto each others hands, with Taiga having her palms in Ryūji's palms.

They stared into each others eyes as they prepared to deliver their vows to each other. But moments before they started spitting their sacred words, the huge double doors down at the end of the aisle opened quietly but was pushed firmly. The door opened & the footsteps of someone walked down the aisle, slowly in a steady pace.

As that person walked down the aisle every eye & every head turned to the side to look at the person as everyone's attention was caught.

The shoes echoed on the ground as the person walked normally, moving closer & closer to Ryūji & Taiga.

Ryūji smiled at Taiga once more as he inhaled to start saying his vows. Then Taiga's eyes glanced into the crowd for a quick second & back. She realized that in her view was someone standing at the front to the side of 1 the aisle in between the 2 first rows of seats on each side.

Taiga then got confused but didn't want to glance back as it would take away a little from the moment she & Ryūji was sharing at that present moment. She could see the person that was definitely taller than her in a full dressing of straight white clothes in her peripheral vision as she had her eyes locked onto Ryūji. It was hard for her to pay attention to Ryūji with the person standing there & she not knowing what it was about or who it was, if that continued then when Ryūji started to say his vows then she would be distracted & it would ruin the moment for her forever, for the rest of her life & this was the chance they got to do everything right & if she was to know that she messed up this part, her favorite part of the wedding, even a little it would haunt her for the rest of time.

This all took place in her mind quickly & she decided in a split second. She looked over down in the crowd this time to see who it was. She stared as her face lit up brightly with a surprised expression. Her face lit up as she realized that Rikurou was standing right in the passage of the aisle staring right back at her with a smile on his face. As he smiled at her & she stared at him he mouthed "I'm Sorry" at her.

Her eyes started to gleam a little as the new formed tears reflected the lights coming from the ceiling lights. She then turned back to Ryūji with a smile on her face & some tiny tears of joy in her eyes, she hinted at him with a 'look over there' face but he just smiled with a 'i know/I saw him' face. Then he began.

Ryūji: I Remember The First Time We Talked To Each Other... Like It Was Yesterday, I Even Remember What Happened Later That Night, You Broke Into My House And Tried To Hit Me With Your Stick Because You Misplaced A Confession Letter For Kitamura. I Was Falling For Minori That Time. Isn't It Funny The Way The Stars Aligned Things To Turn Out Between Us. I Would Say That I'm The First One To Get Affected By The Legendary Palmtop Tiger Of Happiness. As he smiled at her deeply.

I Enjoy And Appreciate Every Second I Share With You, Even In The Bad Times When You're Sad Or Angry.... Or Both. I've Come To Understand And Love All Of You. I Could've Never Imagine That I Would've Fallen In Love With The Notorious Palmtop Tiger Or Even Be Marring Her, Gosh, But Am Incredibly Happy That I Have.
The Love And Connection That We Share Is Deeply Extraordinary. It's Something Everyone Wants Even If They Don't Know, But It's So Rare That Most Won't Get It. Remember That Thing I Said No One Had Ever Seen?

Taiga's face lit up as she knew exactly what Ryūji was talking about.

Taiga: It's Short And Sweet Right? And Hidden From The World? She asked softly.

Ryūji: I Think We've Found It.

Taiga's face lit up in soft excitement.

Ryūji: Am Incredibly Happy That You're The Girl I'll Be Spending The Rest Of My Life With. I Vow To Stand By Your Side For Today, Tomorrow And For The Rest Of My Life, As It Is My Job To Do So. I Love You Taiga Aisaka.

Then he finished, talking only for Taiga & the Priest to hear, also smiling at her softly as she smiled back the exact same way.
