Chapter 12
At the wedding...
Haruka stood at the alter of a huge chapel, staring at the open doors as music played in the background. The new king of Uranus wore her best: a white suit embroidered with golden patterns. Her hair was brushed, but somehow felt weird.
Suddenly, the bride's music started and Michiru slowly walked in by herself. Haruka's jaw dropped slightly as her fiance walked. Michiru's dress had pearly, plain fabric for the skirt and sleeves, and silver embroidered fabric on her bodice. The dress had a long train and a long veil to match. In Michiru's hands were a bouquet of lilies in full bloom.
As her future wife approached the alter, Haruka felt her heart rate increase. 'I'm marrying the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen. I'm the luckiest person alive...' Haruka thought to herself, staring at Michiru.
Before long the ceremony had begun and the minister was reading from an ancient scroll. "If anyone has a good reason why these two should not be wed, please, speak now or forever hold your peace." The minister looked around, before smiling and looking back at the scroll. "Good. Now--"
"I object!" a slurred, drunk sounding voice came from a man standing at the open chapel doors, a sword in his hand. His shirt and hair were mused and when he walked foward he had trouble walking in a straight line.
"And why is that, sir?" The minister looked at the man, his white brows knitting together.
"Because Michiru is going to be mine!" The man said, staggering foward. Haruka immediately remembered the man from the party. He was Prince Alernan, who had glared coldly at Haruka when both women went out for a little fresh air at the party. "..And to win her I challenge Haruka to a fight!"
Haruka immediately unseathed the sword her father had given her and nodded. "I accept. Winner takes Michiru." She heard Michiru gasp, and gave her lover a confident smile. "I will win."
Alernan stalked foward, sword pointed outward towards Haruka. The aisle was wide enough for the two to do battle, so the fight started there. Alernan made the first move, thrusting his sword foward. The blonde easily dodged and swiped foward, cutting a lock of the prince's auburn hair.
Alernan shot foward, ramming into Haruka, who fell back. The blonde stared up at Alernan as the prince grinned down at her, and spoke, "You're tough, you know, but you fell into my trap at the crowning ceremony."
The blonde's eyes narrowed. "Trap? You launched the arrow?"
"Oh yes. Too bad you weren't too badly wounded."
Haruka leaped up, glaring daggers at Alernan, her sword pointed towards him. The man only grinned at her once more and shot foward, preparing to slice at Haruka's side where the arrow had hit. The blonde sidestepped and hit Alernan in the head, hard, with her sword hilt. The blow knocked Alernan unconscious.
Michiru rushed down and hugged her lover, tears streaming down her cheeks. Haruka held the smaller woman close, but noticed Alernan regaining consciousness. She gently pushed Michiru away as the prince got up and glared at him once more. "You're asking for more than you can chew."
But the prince launched foward, though dizzily, raising his sword above his head for another attack. Haruka flinched and brought her sword up in a quick instant. "Space sword blaster!" the blonde yelled, her sword glowing and releasing a blade of energy.
It hit the now shocked prince head on and sent him flying. The prince was again knocked unconscious. Haruka's father got up and clapped. "Guards, get that filth out of here," He said, gesturing to Alernan. The guards scrambled to obey.
The minister stood, shocked, then straighted and cleared his throat. "Well, without ferther interuption." The minister put the scroll down. "I now pronounce you husband and wife, as well as King and Queen of Uranus. Haruka, you may kiss your bride."
Haruka pulled her lover close for a deep kiss, white relatives and friends cheered. 'Finally,' Haruka thought, "Finally, I am happy...'
