Love for Yusuke Urameshi Part 35: Mr. and Mrs. Yusuke Urameshi
I sighed as I tied my tie. Today, Ami and I would become husband and wife. We had done a lot of waiting and preparing, but the day was finally here. I once tried peeking at Ami's dress, but Yukina interfered while stating it was "bad luck". I had simply rolled my eyes, but decided to butt out and not make a scene.
"Hey, Urameshi. You're kinda quiet, man."
"Eh, I was just thinking."
Kurama smiled and looked to the scenery. Ami and I decided to hold the ceremony at Genkai's temple with just our group of friends in attendance. Koenma decided to officiate and Kurama would be walking his "sister" down the aisle.
"I must say, Kuwabara, your wife did a wonderful job with the floral arrangements. Everything looks perfect."
Kuwabara smirked and dismissed it with a wave of his hand.
"No big deal, Kurama. It was Ami's idea to have Yukina take care of the flowers. She figured everyone should be involved with the wedding. Besides, Yukina loves flowers."
"Regardless, she did a wonderful job. Well, I must be going. I do have to walk your future wife down the aisle, Yusuke. I'll see you two down there."
"Later."
Once he was gone, Kuwabara and I made sure we were tidy before heading down to the flower-covered trellis, which was standing right near where we buried Genkai. Koenma thought Genkai should be as close to the ceremony as possible, and that thought touched Ami a lot.
"Ready, Urameshi?"
I shrugged and we both stood with Koenma, waiting for the ceremony to start.
"As ready as I'll ever be. I just can't believe today is actually here."
Koenma chuckled as I adjusted my tie.
"Is the heir of Raizen...nervous?"
"Shut it, Binky Breath. Just...fixing my tie, is all."
"I've known you for years, Yusuke. You try hiding your nervousness by distracting yourself."
"Be honest, guys. Do you think...I'll be a good enough husband?"
Kuwabara nodded silently while Koenma laughed.
"If Ami can put up with you as a boyfriend and roommate, I think she'll survive married life with you, too."
"Guys, it's...Yukina."
We stood up straighter as Yukina walked down the aisle, wearing a light blue dress and holding a small bouquet of flowers she grew at her garden at home. I smiled at the look on Kuwabara's face.
"That's the same look you had when you first saw her, man."
"She hasn't changed at all, Yusuke. She's still just as pretty."
Before I could reply, I found myself speechless as I saw Ami come down the aisle with Kurama. Ami's dress fit her perfectly, hugging every curve and flowing out near the bottom. The straps on the dress, as well as the waist of the dress, had white flowers on them. She has some makeup on, but not too much. Even if she didn't wear any makeup, she would still look beautiful to me. The smile on her face seemed to make her even more beautiful. Kurama nodded to me and smiled.
"Congratulations, Yusuke. May you two have many years together."
"Thanks, Kurama."
Ami looked up at me, her smile still on her face.
"Well, this is it, Yusuke."
"Yeah. I guess it is."
Fast Forward
After our own vows were given and the rings were exchanged, the ceremony was now down to its final part. Koenma looked to our friends and smiled.
"By the power vested in me, I pronounce you husband and wife. Yusuke, you may now kiss your bride."
"About time."
Ami giggled while I lifted her veil. I smiled at her and she smiled back.
"Love you, Ami."
"Love you, too, Yusuke."
As we shared our first kiss as a married couple, our friends let out many cheers and kind words. They knew how tough the road was for us, but were pleased we both managed to make it. While my new bride talked with Yukina, I was talking with Koenma.
"How long will you be gone on your honeymoon, Yusuke?"
"Uh, a couple of weeks, I think."
"Well, I hope you two enjoy yourselves. When can I expect to have my Spirit Detective back?"
"I'll be ready to go back to work the day after we get back, Koenma. Gotta work to support a family, after all."
"Looks like your bride is waiting for you. You should get going."
I turned around and saw Ami smiling at me.
"We should get going, Yusuke. We don't want to miss our flight."
"Definitely not. Well, see you all in a couple of weeks."
After a quick trip to the apartment to finish packing, Ami looked to the living room window.
"Ami?"
"We have a visitor."
I looked up to see, of all people, Hiei. I smirked and opened the window so he can jump in.
"What brings you here, Hiei?"
"Hn, figured I'd give you this now. Consider it a gift."
I took the gift and opened it to see a dagger with Raizen's name cut into it. Hiei smirked as I gave it to Ami.
"Figured you'd like it. Enki handed it to me saying Raizen used to train with this dagger when he was younger."
"Cool. Thanks, Hiei."
As quick as he showed up, he left and I was on my way to my honeymoon with Mrs. Yusuke Urameshi.
That's a wrap for part 35. Part 36 begins in Ami's POV after she and Yusuke get back from their honeymoon and Yusuke goes on a new assignment. Also in part 36, Ami gets another call from Keiko at the jail and goes to visit. Stay tuned to see how it goes
