Title: Obstacles of Love
Summary: An Affinity named Ami Kinichi and an another Affinity named Takashi Kuchiki are childhood friends. They were bethroed at the age of 7, neither of them finding out until 3 months ago at the age of 19. They haven't seen each other since they were 16 and now Ami travels to the Soul Society to participate in her wedding preparations. Their obstacles include miscommunication, jealous noble women, and the Elders.
Affinity(plural: Affiniti): people who have both human and spiritual heritage( like Ichigo, an original Affinity in his line.) The more mixing there is of the genes, the stronger the children produced. Ami is a 14th generation Affinity. For every child produced from her many times great-grandmother's line, one of the parents has been human, and the other has been spiritual, or in cases after the first couple, an Affinity. Affiniti are named because they have affinities with both the human and the spiritual realm. An Affinity marrying another Affinity is rare, but we are going to see what happens in this story. Takashi is a second generation Affinity.
Advantages of being an Affinity: strong spiritual pressure, good immune system.( illnesses in the Soul Society are different than in the human realm. Because an Affinity has both human and spiritual parts, they can block a vast majority of illnesses in both realms. It is rare that they get sick.
Disadvantages: When going through normal illness that is unavoidable for everyone(like pregnancy) It effects both parts of the body, so therefor it is more painful.
F.Y.I: Affiniti have the typical body structure, but with variations in strength, spiritual pressure, endurance, and appearance. Typically the higher a generation you are( like Ami) you tend to have noticeable appearance differences (like her eyes.)

She made good grades and was at the top of her class when she graduated a month ago. She makes all of her own clothing and accessories( except for shoes.) Her mother loved her father but he did not love her back, which makes Ami afraid to love. She doesn't want to live with the pain her mother did. Her mother bethroed her to Takashi when they were both 7 years old. Ami's father was against the idea. However in Tamahi's(Ami's mother) will it was specifically stated that only Ami or Takashi could break the bethroal. When Hiro (Ami's father) tried to persuade her to marry a 70 year old business associate of his, she had already known about the bethroal due to a letter sent to her a month before as per her mothers will, and vehemently declined.
