Ame woke up to Byakuya pressing a light kiss to her cheek, she yawned and stretched. She really didn't want to get up but unfortunately the day wasn't going to wait for her. Ame sat up and rubbed her eyes, she was aware of Byakuya watching her. She yawned then looked up at her soon to be husband. Byakuya smiled gently and he tilted her face to him, Ame sighed when his lips touched hers. Ame loved it when he kissed her, Ame's heart just fluttered in her chest and she wanted to just climb into his heart and stay there. Everyone always spoke of how cold hearted and uncaring. But Ame knew better she knew that was untrue, she knew Byakuya was more caring than what others gave him credit for. Byakuya's arms wrapped around her gently and held her to him, and then the door was opened.

"Hey! None of that until later on tonight!" Doc growled.

Ame sighed sadly as Byakuya broke away; Byakuya smirked and pressed one last gossamer kiss to her lips before he turned to his visitors. He loved how everyone seemed to just forget all types of etiquette and converge in his personal chambers early in the morning without even having the decency to knock.

Maeno, Chitose, Ginrei, and Chiyeko stood before him, Chiyeko and Chitose had the wedding kimono and other things they would need to get Ame ready. It was clear they were here to kick him out so they could work on Ame.

"We have a lot to do today Byakuya we might as well begin." Ginrei said calmly. Byakuya sighed and he pressed one last soft kiss to Ame's lips before he stood up and followed his grandfather and Maeno out the door.

Ame rubbed her eyes and then looked up at Chitose and Chiyeko. "Come on dear we have much to do today." Chiyeko said quietly.

.

After Ame had a light breakfast she was hurried into a bath that smelled heavily of her favorite soap; Sugar cane. Ame had been very reluctant to leave the sweet smelling water, but unfortunately she had to considering the wedding was in the afternoon, and time was passing by rather quickly it seemed. Chitose was just finishing her hair when another servant came in with Ame's shoes, and kimono.

Byakuya stood at the head of the assembly everything was ready, everyone was here and now all they were waiting for was Ame. The chattering of his guests was nothing more than background noise. His eyes scanned them for any possible threats, a good portion of his squad was here as well. But not to see him get married, they were stationed at various parts of the Kuchiki garden to make sure nobody uninvited got in and nobody got in with a weapon. His aunt, grandfather and Renji were all keeping a close eye on his side of the family. The last thing he needed was for one of them to cause trouble, then the music started to play. Byakuya's heart sped up as he remembered what was about to happen. He was getting married to Ame today, and nothing but happiness filled him. Byakuya turned and looked towards the estate, as the door was slid open and Ame stood there in her wedding kimono. His aunt had picked out the kimono since it was unheard of the husband doing it, and with everything that has happened lately Ame hadn't been able to pick one out for herself. But his aunt had done a very good job, it was something that both he and Ame would like. It was red the traditional color for a wedding kimono to be, with bright almost florescent green and blue dragon flies, as well as soft pink water lilies along the bottom half. The obi was a pale gold, and wrapped around her waist much better than the last time. There was little to no make-up on her lovely face, considering she didn't need it. Her sandy hair was up in an intricate bun with chopsticks. Keeping it together, she was beautiful Byakuya felt the world just narrow until it was only her. The only thing that held Byakuya's attention was Ame, not the priest, the guests, his family, his squad men nothing but her. He didn't even notice Tuxedo Cat who had appeared next to him.

Ame blushed her heart was fluttering, everyone was looking at her but she ignored that she could see Aki and Kenpachi off to the side. The garden was beautiful as always, but all that was irrelevant to what held her undying attention; Byakuya. He was dressed in his finest attire, and the world was so much smaller now it seemed. He was watching her, his eyes just glowed, and Ame wanted to run down the aisle protocol be damned. She light headed Ame wondered if she was drunk.

Then Ame finally reached him, Byakuya smiled and they faced the priest. Ame didn't really hear the priest's words she was very aware of Byakuya next to her. The ceremony seemed to go by both fast and slow, Ame answered the priest when he asked her if she would take Byakuya to be her husband. Then Byakuya said yes as well and then they turned and they sealed it with a kiss. Ame's eyes slid shut at how warm Byakuya's lips were and how much feeling she could feel in this one little kiss. Then it ended and they pulled away from each other reluctantly, Byakuya pressed another gossamer kiss to her nose and then pulled away completely but he didn't release her hands from his. The guests clapped, the bride's side with more vigor than the groom's, but they didn't notice.

Byakuya was on a high something inside him seemed to snap into place, Ame was now his wife she was now all his. The urge to protect her came back tenfold now, he wasn't going to allow his new wife to be harmed they would have a long life together, he would make sure of it.

Ame sat down next to Byakuya at the table in the large dining hall, his arm was around hers gently, Aki had come over to give her congratulations, as well as other members of Squad 6, even a few members of Ame's new family gave there congratulations. Ame knew that being a Kuchiki wasn't going to be all sunshine and pillows but it was nice to know that some of them were happy to have her. Ame even got to be properly introduced to Rukia Kuchiki.

Byakuya glanced over at Ame and felt his heart warm as she spoke to Rukia she was doing well. Even though circumstances had thrown them into a very early marriage, everything felt right.

"Sir," Byakuya turned to see Renji standing there, Byakuya cast one last glance to Ame before he got up and went to his Lt.

"Yes, what is it Renji?"

"Captain Kurosuchi and a few of his men are at the door, and they keep saying they need to get inside and they won't leave." Renji murmured quietly. Byakuya frowned lightly, he was not happy about this. "Very well keep them at the front gate I'll deal with them."

Byakuya placed a hand on the small of Ame's back and spoke quietly in her ear. "I have to take care of something my love, I'll be back in a moment."

Ame blushed as Byakuya pressed a soft kiss to her lips before he walked off.

Byakuya arrived at the front gate and frowned once again as he beheld Captain Kurosuchi and members of Squad 12. "Captain Kurosuchi what do I owe the pleasure of your company too… and on my wedding day as well." Byakuya said coldly. He'd already told the Head Captain he was getting married, and the Head Captain assured him that he would not be disturbed for a week unless something drastic happened.

Kurosuchi barely spared Byakuya a glance; his eyes scanned the Estate and what he could see. If there was one thing that always irked Byakuya it was rudeness. "I am here to look for the creature loose in the Sereitei, so Captain Kuchiki if you would please move aside." Kurosuchi made as if to enter his home and Byakuya quickly moved and stood in front of the black and white painted Captain. "Excuse me Captain but I do not see how a dangerous animal could be on my grounds, especially with some many people here. Members of my Squad included are patrolling the perimeter to keep any unwanted guests out." Byakuya said giving Kurosuchi a very pointed look when he said 'unwanted guests.'

Kurosuchi sneered at Byakuya and Byakuya just frowned and gave the twisted Captain a cold look. "Now Captain Kuchiki surely you don't plan to be insubordinate to a ruling the Head Captain passed?"

"I was informed that I would be left alone for a week." Byakuya said cooliy.

"Captain Kuchiki surely you wouldn't risk the lives of your guests, family and wife would you?"

Byakuya frowned wanting very much to turn his back on Kurosuchi and shut and lock his doors. But Byakuya knew that the man would raise hell if he did so. Byakuya let out a heavy breathe through his nose. "Make it quick Captain Kurosuchi and stay out of the house if any of your men disturb my guests I will have you all thrown out."

Ame looked up as Byakuya stepped back into the dining hall, she saw the look of displeasure on his face. When he sat back down next to her Ame leaned over placing a hand on his arm and asked him quietly. "Byakuya… is everything alright?" Byakuya wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her close, all his tension from Kurosuchi sliding away. He explained what had happened with Kurosuchi. "How can Kurosuchi honestly think there's some type of dangerous animal here, especially with all these people here?"

Byakuya didn't care if they were getting looks, he was enjoying holding Ame very much. "I don't know I just hope they don't cause any more trouble." He sighed with exasperation.
