The End of Bleach
"Okay, what the hell just happened?" Tatsuki asked. One second she was worrying about Ichigo and the others and how they might not be able to come back from their current adventure, the next she was standing in the place of Maid of Honor in the most impressive venue she'd ever seen, wearing a very fetching purple dress that matched the draperies, with Chizuru, Rukia, and Matsumoto behind her on the left, and Chad, Uryuu, Keigo, and Mizuiro behind Ichigo on the right, with the old bearded guy who said Ichigo couldn't return to Karakura standing in place of the priest.
"Yes, I would like to know that myself," priest-captain-commander-Kyoraku asked aloud. "Care to explain, Ichigo-kun?"
The carrot top in the expensively cut, expertly tailored suit stiffened even more and just glared at the door at the end of the room over the heads of a wide assortment of humans, Shinigami, and Hollows all dressed to impress.
"Allow me to explain," Uryuu said, stepping slightly out of line and adjusting his glasses to get the attention of the bridal party. "You see..."
~~5 minutes ago~~
Things were looking bad. The Spirit King was in pieces, Yhwach was absorbing all his power, some kind of black things were blooming off his body, Ichigo was still at risk of Yhwach controlling him, and now Uryuu was shooting at them
"You know what? If we survive this? Let's get married someday, Orihime," Ichigo panted during a lull in the fighting.
Orihime fainted. Everyone else sweatdropped.
"You just have the worst sense oftiming, don't you, Ichigo?" Yoruichi teased.
~~1 minute ago~~
Orihime woke up.
Things were even worse than when she passed out. Everyone was falling from the Soul King's Palace, Yoruichi was especially injured, and below them the Sereitei was covered in darkness.
Well, that just wouldn't do. Her future wedding guests were down there!
She put her hands to her hairpins and began enforcing her will upon the universe. "Shun Shun Rikka! Ayame! Baigon! Hinagiku! Lily! Shun'o! Tsubaki! I Reject!"
Witha golden white glow, the entire universe shifted.
~~30 seconds ago~~
Yhwach was finally dead and would not be coming back. The Soul King was restored. The palace was repaired. Her friends and allies were healed. The universe was safe at last.
And she had a wedding to plan! First she had to set a date. Well, there was no time like the present!
~~Now~~
"...and so here we are."
Everyone else in the bridal party sweatdropped. Even Chizuru pealed her eyes away from Matsumoto's cleavage long enough to show embarrassment towards her friend's actions. Then she caught site of Yoruichi flirting with Harribel and promptly stopped caring.
The doors opened and Yuzu proceeded down the aisle with Kon in a bowtie in one arm and a basket of flower petals in the other, followed by Karin acting as ringbearer. Then the full wedding march started up, and Orihime, resplendent in a white gown that would have dented even Byakuya's sizeable funds began the slow walk up the aisle escorted by Ishin.
Ichigo, for the first time in the longest time Tatsuki could remember, softened immediately and smiled as his bride walked up the aisle. She decided then and there to stop caring about the weirdness of the situation and just be happy that her best friends were finally going to be happy with one another.
There were worse way this could have ended, after all.
