Chapter one: Cherry Blossoms bloom when you're in love

On October 20, the Kodoukan dojo was transformed into a reception area for the most awaited event in Kabuki district. Flowers and white fabric decorated the place. The catering is filled with Dom Perignon, ice cream, cakes and lots and lots of other sweets too. The monk arrived as Shinpachi assist him at the main room. The biggest room in the dojo was actually a practice area for the students of Tendo mushin or the Beam Saber school. Most of the students who were actually madaos were just coming there for the free macadamia nuts and free lesson of Kamehameha. But no students were there since only close friends were present. Rebels and the police were on a ceasefire just to celebrate the big day.

"Huh...so there's no turning back now eh?" Kondo said to himself as he walks towards the dojo. "Maybe I should give myself a grand entrance?"

"Are you practicing your objection later?" A familiar blonde girl appeared, leaning her back against the gates.

"Why do you ask? You're practicing for one?"

Tsukuyo smirked, "Like I want to..."She took another smoke, "Why would I do that if he's really happy with her?"

Kondo smiled this time, also leaning against the gate, "Maybe I'm just a stalker to her..."

"No you're not..."

"Hmmm..."

"She sees you as her best friend. You should be happy with it you know..."

"You're right...She's really happy with him. I think I got no problem with that!"

"I'm just worried for Sarutobi though...Haven't seen her inside..."

"She'll accept it. I know her, we're both stalkers..."

"You should go out with Sarutobi, Kondo..."

"No no Way! She'll just kill me every time she drops her glasses! My heart only belongs to Otae-chan!" Tsuki laughed. She can't remember when the last time she laughed that hard. Kondo smiled at her, "Come on...let's go inside"

The other friends started to arrive. Elizabeth and Saito were talking using placards, Sogou and Hijikata were fighting as always, Shinpachi scolding Kagura not to eat at the buffet yet, Otsu practicing her song with Bansai for the party later, Madao and Catherine fighting over something, Yamazaki and Tama giggling. Also present were Hinowa, Seita, Kurogoma, Azumi, Zenzou, and a crying Sarutobi. Tojou, a teary eyed Kyubei with Jugem wiping her tears away, Rei the ghost, Umibozu, Gengai, Matsudaira, Soyou, Oryou, Ane, Hedoro, Nobume, Jirocho, Piraku, Saigo, Azumi clinging to Kyoshiro, Hardboiled detective, Ketsuno Ana, Tetsuko, Kyubei's grandpa: Bonbukaisaima, Taka-tin. Doman, Seimei and Katsura. Then a spacecraft nearly hit the dojo.

"WHAT WAS THAT?!"Shinpachi and others went outside on what was going on.

"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! Is this the right place?! I hope Kintoki gave me the right addresses because I don't want to pay damage if not his property like the last time HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!" (Author: Sakamoto was referring to the Episode 31 where he hit Gin's house with his spacecraft when Gin had amnesia)

"..." Silence. All of them went back inside like nothing happened. "Oi! I made a dramatic entrance and this is what I get?!"Sakamoto keep blurting out his feelings while Mutsu pulled him by his collar, "Come on let's go"

All of the visitors were seated. The monk was in front. Otose was also in front, standing with the groom: Sakata Gintoki

The once good-for-nothing samurai is now looking his life with a purpose. He's never been so happy (and nervous) until this day. All this time he always thinks that he cannot make a woman happy. For him, seeing her by side, no matter what's her treatment towards him, is enough. When she felt the same way, he couldn't understand the emotions building up inside of him. He decides that he will do anything to make her happy.

Then the door opened. All heads were turned for one gorgeous lady: Shimura Tae. She was dressed in an exquisite yet traditional Japanese wedding dress (which was given by Saigo) Gin can't help it but smile as his heart was beating faster as she approached the altar with her brother. Shinpachi also smiles when he saw how happy she looks. Even though there are some imperfections on Gin's side, he's happy that his sister fell for that idiot.

Now the couple were standing next to each other, holding hands.

"Gin-san...your hand is sweaty...are you nervous?"

"What?! No way!" He turned around to hide his blush, making Otae chuckle.

After almost an hour, the ceremony was over. Everybody greeted them. Of course, Kagura was the first one to reach the buffet table. Gin was suddenly pulled by Sakamoto, Zura and Madao in one corner.

"HA! Ha! Ha! Congrats Kintoki! I never thought a gorgeous woman like her will fall for someone like you?!"

"I'm now married yet you're still calling me Kintoki..."

"Enough of It Sakamoto! Gintoki...Takasugi left a package to me. You know that guy, he looks angst but deep inside he's an affectionate guy. He said he had some trouble shipping this..." Zura handed him a box.

"Damn that Takasugi...I hope this is not a bomb...He still care after all..." then Gin slowly opened the box.

A box of Yakult

"Teme! He had a hard time shipping this?! I could buy a dozen of Yakult in the grocery!" The he noticed letter saying, "Gintoki, I know you like sweets so I'm giving these to your wife, not yours. Just concern for her health because I know you'll spoil her with strawberry milk and Bargain dash..."

"Nani?! I should be the one he should be worrying about?!" Gintoki said, thinking if Takasugi know Otae's dark matter.

"Here's my gift to you Gintoki. Hope you'll like it..." Zura handed him an UNO card. Gin was speechless. "That was very sentimental to me because I used the exact cards when I played it with the late Shogun. Ask Rei, I went to the inn and ask Shogun to possess this card. Use it to kill time during night. Don't worry, Shogun will always be by your side to make you win against your wife—"Zura was suddenly bombarded with Gin's punch.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS GUYS!?" Do you really want me to be happy for my marriage?! You're trying to curse me Katsura! You know I hate ghost!"

"Zura ja nai! Katsura da! It's not Sada sada. It's Shige Shige so it's safe..."

"That's not the point! And besides..." Gin suddenly lowers his voice, "there are some 'things' to do during bedtime..."

"Oi Oi Kintoki! Otae seems delicate. Don't make her tired all day!"

'She looks delicate but she's a monster inside! A Monster!' Gin thought quietly.

"For that it's my time to give you this..."Gin was expecting another hideous gift but this time, it's legit. A ticket from another planet for honeymoon.

"That planet is the best for couples going into a honeymoon. The rate is 5 stars according to . I heard it's a mating season for subokjan..."

"Arigatou Sakamoto but me and Otae already plan to have our first night here at home..."

"That's great! That's perfect for my gift! "Madao said, giving him a box of 'specialized' bottles.

"You know I made my wife happy with those bottles and I think you should really drink those..."

"Who do you think I am?! Besides I'm still young and can carry my 'sword 'really well..."

On the other side, girls kept giving Otae some gifts. A bottle of Dom Perignon, lingerie, cookbook, cookware, makes up etc...Etc...

"I hope Gintoki will make you happy Otae-chan..."

"Arigatou Kyuuchan..I hope you'll meet a man that will make you a real woman..."

"Are you talking about me Otae-dono?!"

"Not you Tojo-san..."

"From the start I knew you're the one in Gintoki-s heart. You're both happy so I'm happy as well..."

"Arigatou Tsuki...and I'm sorry too..."

"Don't be. I'm okay with tit. Unlike this woman here..."

"HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY GIN-SAN Otae! Kondo and I vowed to stalk you even more—"

"Sarutobi's right Otae-chan" Kondo blurted out, his head just appeared under the table. He's hiding again and Gin went to him and kicked him straight in the face while Otae threw Sa-chan outside the dojo.

The feats continues as Gin is seen happily drinking with Umibozu, Tsuki and Zenzou. Otose went to Otae and whispered, "Arigatou."

"Why are you thanking me for Otose-san?"

"Well I'm thankful that because of you, my son is happy. He always wants to be a better man because of you. I hope you'll become a one great family. A family that the three of us never happened", Otose did not bear a child and became a young widow. Otae was left with Shinpachi when their dad died. Gintoki never had a memory of his parents or whereabouts. Otae put a real smile, "Don't worry Otose-san...We'll be a one big family." And she hugged Otose.

The guests were gone and they cleaned the place before going to bed. The newly married couple stared at the moonlit sky.

"Thank you..."

"For what?"

"For accepting me...There is lot of better guys out there but you decided to stick with me..."

"Well, if I'm with you, I'm sure I made the best decision in my life..." Gin's heart started to beat faster again. He cannot believe it up to this moment that he's married to a woman who understands him better that himself and loves him back. Gin couldn't resist bit to kiss her. It's their first night actually. When they were dating, they're not showy at all. Gin was actually a tsundere. Sometimes he 'intends' to forget their anniversaries but at the end of the day he surprises her with gifts or a Bz's concert ticket. On the other hand, Otae will spoil him by letting him sleep on her lap. Gin was the first to make a move to kiss her. When he did, he awkwardly ran back home because of shyness. Gin is a well-known pervert but he never 'touch' Otae. He knew it's the best to do it when you're married.

Otae kissed him back. Soon with eyes closed, they lay on the same futon, kissing and slowly removing each other clothes. It's their first time to be this intimate. Every kiss and every touch made their hearts pound and they're loving it. They continue to make love under the moon and the stars.

To be continued...
