Mina stood out front of the church doors. She opened one of them and slipped inside quietly. She headed over to Anubis' office. Wen she got there she found him and Tenchi talking.

"…to my delight." She had stumbled into their conversation. Tenchi turned and looked at Mina. "Hello Mina." He walked over to her. In two days we are to become husband and wife, eh!" He gave Mina a playful nudge with his elbow.

"I've had much experience at being a wife," Tenchi was confused by this remark and didn't know what to say, so he leaned in close and kissed her on the lips. Mina showed no emotion towards this act.

Tenchi walked towards the double doors leading out of the sanctuary, "Ciao! Until Thursday," Tenchi was gone now.

Mina started crying and ran into Anubis' office. "Mina, what's the matter?" Anubis said comfortingly. "Today is a nice sunny day and it's beautiful outside."

Still crying, Mina replied, "It's not that. It's just that I have to get married to Tenchi in two days or my family will kick me out. And I don't want to get married because I'm already married and in love with Sage."

"Ah, I see."

Mina's eyes were glimmering from the tears; "There is a way out of this."

"What is it?"

Mina picked up Anubis' sharp letter opener and held it at her temple, "This is my way out of this mess!"

Anubis seeing her reaction, "Give me that!" Anubis snatched the letter opener from Mina. "What's with you kids and sharp pointy objects anyway?" Anubis put the letter opener in his drawer. "Now, Mina. If you would really rather die than be married to Tenchi, I can arrange that for you." Anubis seeing Mina's confused expression explained. "I have an some stuff that'll knock you out for two days. All you have to do is drink this tomorrow, and on Thursday, everyone will find you dead. I'll tell Sage to come back to Tokyo, and we will both be there when you wake up."

"Really!" Was all Mina could say.

"Yes, now make sure no one sees you drink it." Anubis opened up another drawer and took out a vial.

"Ooh!" Mina snatched it out of his hand. "It's red, I bet it's cherry, huh."

Back at Mina's house, Amara and Darien are talking when Mina comes into the room. "What do you want?" Darien asked.

"Oh, father…mother. I will marry Lord Tenchi." Mina could barely manage to say those words.

Needless to say, Darien and Amara were extremely happy. "Are you serious!?" Amara got out of her seat and hugged Mina.

"Yes." Mina said simply.

"A wonderful day it is for us!" Darien did a little dance and was overjoyed. "I'm overjoyed!" he shouted.

"I've got it, honey!" Amara let Mina go and stood beside her husband.

"What is it, my dear?"

Amara paused for a second. "I know this is sudden, but let's have the wedding tomorrow!"

"That's a wonderful idea!" Darien smiled. "I'll call everyone now, and tell them the wedding's is first thing tomorrow morning. Tenchi will be so happy."

Mina lost all color in her face. 'If the wedding's tomorrow morning, I'll have to take the stuff tonight.' Mina thought to her self.

"I'll notify the priest at once." Amara went to find a phone.

Later that night, "I have to do this now." Mina opened up the bottle, and drank all the liquid contained inside. "Hey, this isn't cherry!" Mina swallowed the liquid and started choking. "I…can't…breathe!" Mina passed out on her bed with the vial still in her hand.
