Chapter 25: Five Feet Wedding Attempt
I slowly walked into the yard. Mikomi wasn't Mikomi anymore. She was Arisu Fukui. That meant that all that time with our group of three meant nothing anymore. She was getting married. That was even worse.
I watched everyone and how they reacted. Renji was acting frustrated. He had someone with him that was talking about how great Mikomi was. Captain Kuchiki was silently standing by Rukia. Rukia was talking to Ichigo happily. Orihime was talking happily to everyone in turn. Ichigo was nodding along to what Rukia was saying with a smile on his face. Uryu was standing with Chad and silently listening to what Orihime was saying to them. Chad was also standing silently listening to Orihime. Keigo and Tatsuki were looking around in wonder. Captain Zaraki was trying to get Ichigo to fight with him and Yachiru was looking around and shouting about candy and Mikomi. A lot of others came up and I stopped watching everyone.
"Hana-kun, Arisu will be so happy that you came!"
"Hi Mika. Is she getting ready for the wedding?"
"In a way."
"FIVE FEET," floated Arisu's voice. The gates opened at that time.
"Oops. I gotta go. Enjoy the wedding everyone! Mikomi Watanube, also known by her real name, Arisu Fukui, is beautiful today. You will all be impressed, even Renji."
She gave a short giggle and flash stepped away. We all filed in. A large group of us sat on the side labeled "BRIDE" In fancy lettering. A smaller group sat on the other side. Wonderful music started playing and Arisu stepped out of the doors and onto the balcony that had the table with a smile. She was dressed traditionally with traditional makeup and a hairstyle that suited her well. She was beautiful. After bowing to the group, she went and knelt at the table. Her husband-to-be joined her on the balcony. He walked to the edge and bowed like her. Then he went to kneel beside her at the table.
"NO! FIVE FEET! I SAID FIVE FEET! THAT IS FOUR FEET AND ELEVEN INCHES! GO BACK TWO MORE INCHES!" We all jumped at her sudden, fierce shout.
"We have to sit at the table together!"
"I DON'T CARE! GO BACL TWO MORE INCHES! DO IT NOW! I DEMAND FIVE FEET!"
"FINE! I'LL GO BACK FIVE FEET! JUST SHUT UP AND STOP SHOUTING!"
"GOOD!" He moved back slightly. "THAT IS NOT FIVE FEET!"
"UGH! JUST DEAL WITH IT!"
"IF YOU'RE GOING TO ACT LIKE THIS, I'M GOING BACK INSIDE!"
I could see Mika trying hard not to laugh at the beginning of the shouting match. She was standing perfectly still with no emotion on her face by the time it got to this point. Arisu wasn't kidding. She stood from her spot at the table and stomped inside.
"Don't just stand there Mika! Go get her!"
"How do you propose I do that?"
"I don't care! Do whatever it takes!"
"Yes Ma'am." Mika flash stepped into the house with a small smirk on her face.
"Ha ha. Watanube is pretty funny today," Renji said from beside me.
There was silence. The music started to play again to fill it. After a while, Mika came out. The music stopped and Arisu came out with her zanpakto. The woman that had Mika go get her looked at her with disapproval. She walked to the edge of the balcony and bowed again. Her husband-to-be was standing while he waited so he bowed again and tried to sit at the table like her.
"WHAT PART OF FIVE FEET DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? I'VE BEEN SAYING FIVE FEET SO FIVE FEET!"
"ISN'T IT BAD ENOUGH THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE SLEEPING IN DIFFERENT ROOMS AND THAT WE AREN'T GOING TO HAVE A HONEYMOON? CAN'T WE JUST SIT LOSE FOR TODAY? ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS DEAL WITH BEING CLOSE TO ME FOR THE WEDDING! JUST DEAL WITH IT, YOU STUPID SOUL REAPER FAILURE!"
She gasped and slapped him before jumping to her feet and stomping inside. Mika smiled a little before following her after a look from the woman that had her get Arisu before. It was dead silent while he rubbed his cheek. I was upset that he said that to her. She was a great soul reaper. He didn't know what he was talking about! He had no idea how lucky he was!
"You shouldn't have said that! She was a great soul reaper! Take back what you said," Rukia shouted as she shot to her feet. He simply turned around and scoffed at her.
"Who do you think you are to tell me what to do?"
"I am Rukia Kuchiki, lieutenant of squad 13 and sister to Byakuya Kuchiki! Treat me with some respect!"
"Shut up! You aren't a part of this!"
"My family is far above yours. I suggest you stop treating my sister so disrespectfully, boy." I watched Captain Kuchiki as she glared at the man Arisu was supposed to marry.
"Was that a threat?"
"It was a suggestion. If you don't, I am ready to make a promise that will end badly for you and your entire family. I'm sure Arisu Fukui would enjoy being my subordinate once again. You will be so low in class that you will be banished to the farthest reaches of Rukongai. Rukia says that it's bad out there. I will force you all the way to the 80th district." I cringed. It was horrible out there. Every day was a fight for survival.
"Fine. I don't care about you anyways. I just want to get this wedding over with. This girl is driving me nuts."
"You don't know how lucky you are! She was a talented soul reaper and she's very beautiful! She's really nice too! I respect her! You should show some respect to her as well! She could cut you down with ease!" I glanced at the person Renji brought with him.
"Sit down you idiot," Renji whispered to him.
"It's true that I could cut him down with ease. I would just like to avoid hurting anyone that doesn't deserve it." The three standing sat back down and we all looked at Arisu's voice. She slowly stepped out in her soul reaper uniform with her zanpakto on her hip and her hair thrown up in a messy ponytail, like it was the day she graduated from the academy.
"I will not allow this! Go inside and get ready again!"
"Ma'am, this is the only way to get her out her. Either she looks like that, or she stays inside."
"Fine. You will do this properly later, Arisu."
"I refuse to do so. Let's get this stupid wedding out of the way so I can go to my room and that useless pile of jerk bones goes to the other side of the house, where his room is located and will always be located." She bowed again and sat on one side of the balcony. "This is an acceptable distance. It's six and a half feet."
"SHUT UP ABOUT THE FIVE FEET ALREADY!"
"No. I refuse."
"YOU ARE NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE! I DON'T CARE IF YOUR FAMILY IS BETTER THAN MINE! I DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH YOU FOR A SINGLE SECOND LONGER!"
"HOW DARE YOU SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT! NEITHER OF US WANTED THIS WEDDING SO SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP! YOU CAN DEAL WITH IT! I HEARD THE WAY YOU SPOKE TO MY FRIENDS! I DO NOT APPRECIATE THAT! STAY THERE! SIX AND A HALF FEET IS NOW THE PROPER DISTANCE!"
"SHUT UP! YOU'RE A STUPID, USELESS, AND PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A WOMAN!"
"HOW DARE YOU! DO NOT SPEAK ANOTHER WORD! IF YOU DO, I AM LIKELY TO STAB THIS ZANPAKTO THROUGH YOUR THROAT! IT WILL SATISFY HER LUST FOR BLOOD! IT WILL ALSO MAKE ME FEEL A LOT BETTER!"
"SIX AND A HALF FEET! THAT'S FINE BY ME! WHY DON'T WE JUST MAKE THINGS INTERESTING AND MAKE IT SEVEN FEET! WILL THAT SATISFY YOU?"
"MAKE IT EIGHT!"
"NINE!"
"TEN!"
"ELEVEN!"
"TWELVE!"
"TWENTY!"
"I'M FINE WITH THAT! TWENTY FEET IT IS!"
"I'M GLAD WE COULD COME TO AN AGREEMENT!"
"ME TOO! YOU ARE A STUPID MEANIE JERK FACE AND I HATE YOU!"
"I HATE YOU TOO!"
"YOU'RE TOO CLOSE! WE AGREED ON TWENTY FEET! MOVE BACK MORE!"
"SHUT UP!"
"MOVE BACK! GET TO TWENTY FEET!" They stopped arguing and glared at each other.
"Arisu, just deal with it!"
"STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT! I REALLY WILL GOOUGE YOUR EYES OUT WITH A SPOON!"
"STOP MAKING EMPTY THREATS!"
"IT WON'T BE AN EMPTY THREAT MUCH LONGER! I'M TIRED OF THAT LOOK FROM YOU!" She pulled out a spoon.
"I'll stop."
"GOOD! NOW TWENTY FEET!"
"TWENTY-ONE FEET!"
"WE ALREADY HAD AN AGREEMENT!"
"TOO BAD!"
"THE DINING ROOM IS ONLY BIG ENOUGH FOR US TO BE TWENTY FEET AWAY!"
"GO IN A DIFFERENT ROMM FOR DINNER!"
"YOU GO IN A DIFFERENT ROOM! THIS IS MY HOME! I LIVED HERE FIRST! DEAL WITH IT! TWENTY FEET OR YOU LEAVE THE ROOM!"
"SEVENTY-TWO FEET!"
"Get out."
"TWENTY FEET THEN!"
"I'M FINE WITH TWENTY FEET! YOU BETTER HONOR THAT, UNLIKE OUR FIVE FEET RULE!"
"I'D BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO!" By this time, almost everyone was laughing. The only ones not laughing were the arguing couple and the woman that was pushing the marriage.
"Fujaku, do something!"
"Maybe we should listen to our daughter."
He forced himself not to laugh until he could turn away again. Mika was laughing with an arm slung around Katsuro. They wore matching uniforms so I guessed that he served the family as well. It was odd to see them getting along. They didn't in the world of the living.
"Fujaku, do something to save the wedding!"
"I'm sorry. I think it's beyond saving! We can't get our daughter to ever marry him! Arisu, you don't have to marry him!"
"Thank you Daddy!" Arisu jumped up and hugged the man that said that. I realized that those two were her parents. "You heard him. I don't have to marry you. I won't marry you. Get out."
"Fine by me! I finally get to get away from the psycho! I didn't want to marry you anyways! I do want to marry my servant. She's so beautiful and wonderful. She's always been there for me. I'm in love with her."
Good for you. Go for it."
"Thanks Arisu." He walked back inside. After a few minutes, he went to the group of people beside us and took the hand of a woman. "I really do want to marry you. I don't care if my family doesn't want it to happen. I will do whatever it takes to marry you."
"I want to marry you too, but I don't think we can. Your family is too opposed to it."
"Did you not hear me? I said that I will do whatever it takes to marry you."
"Oh. I can't wait then!" She jumped up and hugged him.
"We may have a wedding after all," Arisu shouted happily. "I have some business to attend to." She flash stepped down to us. "Hana-kun, I'm so glad to see you here! Did you enjoy it?" she asked while hugging me. I was still in my seat and I had wide eyes. I hugged her back after a moment.
"Yes. I'm glad I came."
"Me too! I have more things to do though. I'll get back to you." She let go and smiled at Renji. "Bad fruit! Reny-chan is a red pineapple! He's bad fruit!"
"Shut up, stupid newbie."
"You're just jealous of Chiyuhime and me!"
"Of course. That's the reason," he said sarcastically.
"Sarcastic you isn't as much fun. You're that squad member that followed me around! It's good to see you! Bya-kun, can I fix your hair?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"But Bya-kun, I wanna fix your hair so much!"
"No! My hair looks just fine. We're leaving it that way."
"But I can make it look great instead of just fine."
"No."
"Psh. Fine. Rukia, it's so good to see you! We have to catch up! Any boy interests?"
"Maybe."
"Ooh~! So interesting! Who is it?"
"How do you know it's a yes and not a no?' Arisu just stood in front of Rukia for a minute and stared.
"Way to go Itchy-chan! I didn't think you had it in you to get a noble!"
"Shut up!"
"You didn't deny it! I was right! Orihime, you look great! Where'd you get that from?"
"Uryu made it. He made all of our clothes for the wedding. Rukia wasn't there so he didn't make hers."
"He can sew awesomenessedissness clothes!"
"I know! He always gives Rukia the best clothes!"
"Awesomenessedissness!"
"Yay~!"
"Uryu, you look good. Nice sewing skills. Teach me more!"
"Ok."
"Yays! Chad, you look great! Say something!"
"Hi."
"YAY!" She ran over to Captain Zaraki and Yachiru. "Pachi-kun and Chiru-chan, it's great to see you!"
"Miky-chan, you looked so pretty earlier!"
"Thankies! Here's some candy!"
"YAY! THANKIES!"
"Pachi-kun, wanna try to hit me?"
"Of course. That's the whole reason I came."
"Great." He lifted his zanpakto above his head and brought it down. She was suddenly on top of it and it was in the ground. "I win!" She went around like that and talked to everyone on her side before hugging me again and refusing to let go.
"Arisu-san, why are you hugging me so tightly?"
"I missed you Hana-kun. Don't call me Arisu-san. I don't like it."
"O-o-ok."
"No stuttering either."
"Ok."
"Good Hana-kun."
She still held on. She wasn't paying attention to anything else. She just hugged me. I smiled and hugged her back after a while. Then she moved and fell in my lap, startling me. She ignored it and kept hugging me.
"Wah! Arisu, you're in my lap! Shouldn't you get up? Arisu!" I could feel myself go red. She didn't care. She just continued to hug me.
Hana-kun, she won't let go. So no wedding for Arisu! Join me next chapter to see what happens! I don't own Bleach or its characters. You know who I own by now so yeah. Thanks for reading! Have an awesomenessedissness day/night!
