Yusuke looked at himself in the mirror. "I look pretty damn good", he thought to himself. He scrubbed up pretty well. He'd love to see the look on his teachers' faces if he returned today, in his black, immaculate suit. Not such a waste of space now huh.
Today's the day. He never imagined this is where he'd be at the age of 21. All those days of fighting demons, protecting the human race as the spirit detective, it all seemed like a dream to him now. Before he could reminisce about the "good old days" a familiar gruff voice brought him back to reality.
"Oi Urameshi you're not getting cold feet are you? You've got some balls to run away from Keiko on her wedding day. Even I wouldn't want to see your face after she'd caught you".
Both of the boys' faces winced at the thought of Keiko's wrath. "Well no worries here Kuwabara. I've died twice before; I'd rather not push my luck for a third time." With that Kuwabara threw his arm around Yusuke and led him out to the church hall, where the guests and his wife awaited him.
Yusuke had never been a fan of fancy affairs, but Keiko's parents had insisted they have a special wedding. They had seen this day coming for a long time, so when Yusuke had finally popped the big question they were overjoyed and relieved that Keiko had said yes. Many of the neighbours had viewed Yusuke as a no good delinquent. A thug like him was better off left alone they figured. Keiko could do much better. But her parents dismissed these thoughts. They saw below the bad boy exterior and knew that Yusuke was really a decent kid. He cared for Keiko and they knew he would take care of her. That's all that really mattered.
Yusuke entered the church hall which was overflowing with people. Most of them were Keiko's friends, but there were a few surprising guests there. Yusuke spotted Kurama and Hiei on the right seats as he walked up the aisle.
"Must have taking a hell of a lot of blackmailing to get Hiei up here" he thought to himself. On the left side he noticed Chu, Touya and Jin had also made an appearance. This astonished him. Sure more and more demons were now entering the human world but he wasn't expecting them to grace him with their presence at his wedding. He suddenly spotted Botan beaming at him from the third row. "I should have known this was her doing" he whispered.
Yusuke had finally reached the altar and awaiting him stood a small, slender figure in a gorgeous white wedding dress. "You look great" he chuckled.
Keiko blushed. "Yea yea, I was getting worried you wouldn't show. Thought you'd have some demons you'd rather be slaying" she whispered.
Before Yusuke could retort with a witty remark Kuwabara interjected. "Well Keiko little old Urameshi here was too afraid you'd rip him a new one if he was even a second late. You should have seen him in the dressing room. He was whimpering like a little girl. You sure have your man in check Keiko."
Yusuke shot Kuwabara a threatening glare. "Careful there best Man. Just because I'm retired as spirit detective doesn't mean I still can't kick your ass."
The pastor began coughing. The three of them turned to him in embarrassment; only just realising they had been holding up the service. "Well shall we get started then?" which was more of a demand than a question. "Hell yeah" Yusuke blared in excitement.
