One.

She noted the guests there to watch her vow her life away to a man who didnt love her. Her side of the family was mostly empty except for a few aunts, uncles, and her father. All looing uninterested in the event. Hakudoshis side of the family was more full.

Rins eyes rested on her soon to be in-laws. Kagura was dressed in a not to modest cocktail dress. All black, mocking her, as if this was her funeral. Her hair pinned up into a short pony tail and her lips painted red like the blood Rins fiancee made her shed moments before this walk down the aisle.

two.

Kanna stared in her brothers direction mostly but she knew somehow that she had her attention. She didnt know most of the people on the other side of the wedding pews but they must have been important to her soon to be husbands family.

Finally her eyes rested on her father-in-law. Naraku. Red eyes. Long wavy hair. That evil unsatisfied glare. Were weddings a harsh subject for him? Why would he agree to this arrangement in the first place? And how did Hakudoshi look so different from his father? Was his mother really dead like hers? Like he told her so many months ago? This family was full of lies!

Three.

He stood there looking at Rin in his tuxedo. Purple vest to match his best men whom she had no idea of... They never introduced but they struck fear in her.

Her side empty... No bridesmaids and no maid of honor. How pathetic.

"Look alive, darling. The world is watching." He smirked as he took her hand into his. "Youre beautiful my Rin." He said loud enough for for the whole room to hear.

Shes started to see red. She didnt even listen to the whole ceremony until they got to their vows. Hakudoshi went first, as if to prove to her family he would treat her right. She listened to his already broken promises. To always take her hunting for wild flowers, stay until the fireflies lit up the night. To hold her when shes sad. to.. to..

"ENOUGH! IVE HAD IT!" She snapped. She was crying. Her make-up was running. "I Will not marry you! I will never say 'I DO to you!"

She slapped him straight across his face. The look of shock on his face. "My love what has gotten into you?" He touched his cheek.

"Dont give me that crap! You have hurt me for the last time!" She through down her bouquet and tried to run away. She was almost fully turned before Hakudoshi grabbed her wrist. "Dont do this." It was more threatening that pleading.

"NO" She screamed. She stepped toward him and shoved him down onto his back. "I dont want you..." She whispered.

"Rin!" Her fathers deep voice startled her. Looking to him she felt ashamed. She knew she embarrassed her family. She didnt care. Did she look crazy because they didnt know how he treated her.

Hakudoshis' side of the family didnt seem phased. Some had left but Naraku sat with a blank expression on his face. Did they both nod at each other?

"Father..." Rin started but she was cut off before she could finish.

After seeing red all she could see now was black.

Closing his medical case he let out an exaggerated sigh. Naraku frowned at the now unconscious girl and turned to her father. This man looked tired beyond his years. His black hair sprinkled with some white hairs. Brown eyes to match Rins but not as lively.

"She is sedated for now but i think you should consider hospitalizing her for a while until she is of sound mind. I believe the stress of planning the wedding on her own led to this episode. Having no friends or mother to help with her choices." Another sigh. " Hakudoshi has told me shes been drinking herself to sleep every night. Shes been crying and making up stories to his siblings that he beats her... I think since losing her mother she has lost herself, Sir."

Rins father nodded. "Yes, it has been hard on us since losing my wife...I was never there for the child. Maybe there is someone else who can."

Nodding back Naraku pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number that would bring paramedics to the wedding chapel.

"My poor Rin." Hakudoshi chuckled as he followed his father outside. Only Naraku heard and rolled his eyes. His offspring were such a nuisance.

Kagura sighed as she drank from a glass of champagne. "You didnt have to have the girl institutionalized, brother." Hakudoshi stabbed his wedding cake with a fork. "Wheres the fun in that? She wasnt much fun anymore anyway. She never talked and its not like i really wanted to be married anyway."

"But she looked so pretty in her gown and make-up."

"Kanna shut it, you know this was all a farce."

"Your sister's right Kanna, I think she will be happier locked up with the other crazies." He laughed as he took a bite of cake. "Besides, father Naraku will make sure she is well cared for. He is the best at that hospital after all."

"Dont you think she will catch on that her ex father-in-law is the doctor that will be keeping her locked away? Like a princess in a castle being guarded by a dragon?" Kagura asked. "Not that I care... But couldnt you have at least become her husband before you sent her off the deep end?"

"I don't care."
