Chapter 93
Wedding
So now the Demon King Satanos has been defeated, his army is back in the Demon Realm, and Ryu's spirit is no more. The gang was enjoying a period of peace for the first time in months. No demons wanted to cause trouble since the Demon Realm was trying to recover from losing its king. Demonus had yet to appear.
With no missions the gang was allowed to focus on one big event, Kurama and Botan's wedding. They'd decided to do an American style wedding since it would be cheaper and Botan wanted to wear one of those wedding dresses. Invitations were sent out to all the allies the gang had made over the years. After weeks of planning the big day finally came.
We join Kurama as he makes some final adjustments to his suit.
Hiei was nearby trying to keep himself from burning his own tuxedo off. "I hate these things." Even though the Jagan eye was gone, he still wore his bandana.
"Hiei, as my best man you have to wear that."
"Why not have a demon mating ritual instead? At least then I could wear something more comfortable."
"Because, my mother has no idea I'm a demon. I'd like to keep it a secret."
"Hn."
The door opened and in walked Riku. "You ready yet?"
"Almost." Kurama replied.
After taking fifteen more minutes to adjust his hair, Kurama was finally ready.
"Days like this make it tempting to shave you bald fox."
"I must look my best for my own wedding."
"But still, fifteen minutes just to fix up your hair." Riku added.
"Let's just get to the temple."
The two nodded and followed Kurama out to his car. They'd decided to have the wedding at Genkai's. Kurama started his car up and the three started toward their destination.
With the girls
"Hold still Botan." Keiko said as she tried to tie Botan's hair in a bun.
"Sorry Keiko, I'm just so nervous."
"Chill Botan. You can't gat married if you're a nervous wreck." Nami said as she leaned against the wall. Keiko, Nami, Yukina, Crystal, and Kairi were all bridesmaids. They each wore light blue dresses with white gloves.
"There, now all we need is the veil. Yukina could you bring it?"
Yukina walked up to them and handed the veil to Keiko. When Keiko was done she stepped back to admire her handy work. "Wow Botan it's hard to believe you're the Grim Reaper in a dress like that."
Botan turned to the mirror and smiled. "This is the happiest day of my life." She then turned and hugged Keiko.
"Don't cry Botan, you'll ruin your makeup."
Botan pulled back and wiped the tears forming in her eyes.
Kairi walked in with Mimiru at her side. Mimiru was in a cute red dress since she was acting as flower girl.
"Oh my god Mimiru looks so adorable." Botan said when she saw them.
Mimiru smiled. "Thank you." Kairi had to use a spell to hide her cat ears.
"We just came to tell you the groom has arrived." Kairi said.
Nami rushed out the room so she could see Hiei in his tux. The other girls sweatdropped while Mimiru had a clueless look on her face.
Outside
As the three walked toward the temple Yugi greeted them. "Hey Kurama."
"So do you have it?"
"Uh huh." Yugi replied as he held up the wedding rings.
Riku smirked and ruffled the kitten's hair. "You wouldn't happen to know where Yusuke is would you?"
"He and Mr. Kuwabara said they had to test the food for poison."
The three sweatdropped.
"That's just like those two bakas." (Guess who)
Riku sighed. "I'll go stop them from emptying the table." He wind morphed the rest of the way to the temple.
Yugi went off to find Kairi. Kurama and Hiei stayed in place for a few seconds before shaking their heads and continuing up the stairs.
Riku finally found Kuwabara and Yusuke still stuffing their faces. "Hey you two!!!"
The two looked up.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Well…uh…Kuwabara said he sensed some freaky energy coming off the food. You can't be to careful."
Riku let out an exasperated sigh before grabbing them by the collars and dragging them back inside.
A little later
Kurama was standing at the altar with the priest and Hiei at his side. The wedding was taking place in the courtyard at the center of Genkai's temple. He surveyed the guests that had come. Their was his mother, along with a few of Kurama's cousins and aunts and uncles, Riku, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Shizuru, Yusuke's mom, Keiko parents, the ninja clan along with Jin and Touya, Shishiwakumaru, Suzuka, Koto, Juri, Ricardo, Kage, Riku's family, Mokudo, Damien and his mate, Mizu, Shiro, Kavik, Tengoku, Aurora, Rinku, and Chuu.
Oh no not him. Kurama thought when he laid eyes on the blue haired drunk. Chuu took a swig from his beer bottle and hid it in his outfit. This might not be pretty.
He heard the music start and straightened himself out. The bridesmaids walked down one at a time each trying not to slip up.
Suzuka looked at them as they walked. "Not bad but they're nowhere near as beautiful as myself." Shishiwakumaru bonked him on the head.
"Will you keep quiet?"
"What I was only stating a fact."
Azeri turned around and glared at them. "Will you two shut up already?" The two did as they were told.
Yugi walked down next holding the pillow with two rings on it.
Nami leaned to Kairi's ear. "You know, he'll be quite the ladies man when he grows up."
Kairi smiled. "I'm sure he will."
When Yugi reached the altar Chuu stood up and ran to the bathroom to throw up.
"Idiot." Hiei mumbled.
Mimiru started down the aisle tossing sakura petals the whole way. Everyone commented on how adorable she looked. She only smiled and kept doing her job.
Kairi couldn't help but think how much her adopted children would change as they grew. Muraku would want them to be safe at all times and might start his own interrogations when they brought a potential date home. She smiled at the thought of Muraku scarring off all of Mimiru's dates.
Mimiru reached the end and scurried to Kairi's side. "How'd I do mama?"
"Terrific."
The priest cleared his throat. "All rise."
They room fell silent as everyone stood up. Kurama wiped the sweat from his forehead as the organ started playing.
From the curtains Botan walked out. Koenma was acting as her escort. They had to lie that Botan's parents were dead. Koenma was secretly cursing that he wasn't the one marrying Botan. He also cursed the fact that he couldn't wear his pacifier.
Hiei turned to the priest and whispered to him. "Do this as quick as possible." The priest gulped and nodded.
Koenma turned to Botan. "Good luck." She smiled as he let go and allowed her to step up next to Kurama.
And so the priest started all the talk about eternal love and all that junk which I'm to bored to mention so we'll just skip foreword to the rings. Sorry but I'm lazy.
"Do you Botan, take Shuichi to be your loftily (Sorry if it's misspelled) wedded husband, to have and to hold in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"
"I do" She allowed Kurama to slip the ring on her finger.
"And do you Shuichi, take Botan to be your loftily wedded wife, to have and to hold in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?"
"I do" Botan slipped the ring on his finger.
"Then by the power vested in me and in front of all these witnesses, I no pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Kurama smiled and pulled the veil from Botan's face. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she wrapped her own around his neck. With a final smile they closed the gap between their lips.
Suddenly Kurama's body started to glow. Botan soon found herself staring into two golden eyes. Yoko smirked, dipped her down, and pressed his lips against hers. The entire audience was shocked at the turned of events. Kurama's mom had fainted thinking her son had been possessed.
'YOKO!!!'
'I'm a thief Kurama. And it looks like I've stolen your wedding kiss.'
'Yoko I swear on the arrow that wounded you I will make you pay for this!!!'
'My tail is trembling in fear.'
Yoko broke the kiss and looked at Botan's stunned face. He smirked and leaned closer till his mouth was near her ear. "I'll see you later tonight." And with that he let Kurama take control.
Kurama recovered from his anger and kissed Botan with passion that rivaled Yoko's. The audience had recovered and started clapping.
"I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Shuichi Minamora."
Kurama broke the kiss and looked at Botan. "Sorry about Yoko."
"It's alright. You more than made up for it with that kiss."
"I love you Botan."
"I love you to Kurama."
The wedding reception (dun dun dun)
Everyone watched from various tables as Kurama and Botan had their wedding dance.
"Kurama, just when did you fall in love with me?"
"I guess I've always liked you. And it developed into love."
"I know precisely when I realized my feelings for you."
"When was that?"
"It was after your battle with Touya when you planted the death seed in yourself. Then you couldn't defend yourself in the next match…it was then I realized how much you meant to me."
"Yes, I remember when Saber kidnapped you. I never felt so determined in my life."
"I knew the whole time you'd come for me. Can I ask you something?"
"Go ahead, after all we are husband and wife."
"Since the first day I met you, I've noticed you've always seemed the tiniest bit nervous at all times. Most would miss it but you couldn't get it past me. What are you so nervous about?"
"Well…you know that Yoko was wounded all those years ago. I'm worried another hunter like him might show up."
"Just who was that hunter?"
"I don't know myself. All I know is he was a legendary demon slayer. I remember he was an honorable fighter and highly skilled with a bow."
"Do you think he'll come back?"
"He was human so I highly doubt he'd be alive after all these years."
"I'm just worried someone like him might show up and try to kill you."
"I won't let that happen Botan. And if it does I'll win, for you."
Botan smiled as Kurama tilted his head down and kissed her.
Riku wrapped his arm around Yukina's shoulder.
She smiled and leaned against him. "I feel so happy for Botan."
"Yeah, but in six months we'll have something else to be happy about." Riku replied as he placed his hand on her belly. Demons like Yukina only have six-month pregnancies.
Kairi was watching the two dance when something caught her eye. She looked to her side and saw Yugi and Mimiru wobbling with dazed looks on their faces. "What's wrong you two?"
"I feel funny mama." Mimiru groaned.
"Me to." Yugi said.
"The punch tastes funny." Mimiru said before passing out. Yugi soon joined his sister.
Koto, who had been watching, sniffed her punch. "Well no wonder they feel funny, someone put alcohol in the punch."
"WHAT?!" Everyone looked over to Kairi.
"I said someone put alcohol in the punch."
Kairi had one of those angry marks one her forehead. She stood up and yelled, "ALRIGHT, WHO PUT ALCOHOL IN THE PUNCH?!"
Everyone looked to where Chuu and Rinku were sitting. Rinku laughed nervously and scooted away from Chuu. Chuu was to busy drinking to notice but he finally did. "What?"
Kairi let out a battle cry and attacked Chuu.
"Help me!!!' he yelled.
Kairi lifted him over her head. "This'll teach you for getting children drunk." She then hurled and I mean hurled him into the air. He flew over the treetops and landed somewhere in the forest.
Kairi stood panting as Keiko and Crystal tried to calm her down. She then remembered her kids and rushed to them.
Touya looked at Jin and sweatdropped. Jin was flirting with a couple of girls.
Riku and Yusuke looked over as well.
"Touya, you don't think Jin is becoming a pimp?" Yusuke asked.
"I hope not, it would disgrace our shinobi ancestors."
"Well if he doesn't get a girl soon I think will be seeing pimp Jin."
Riku rubbed him chin. "Wait I got it."
"Got what?" Yusuke asked.
Riku smirked and went to find Kurama, Botan, Maya, Crystal, Mizu, and Tengoku.
After gathering them up and telling them his plan he waited for their reply.
"Do you really think this will work bro?" Maya asked.
"You girls do your part and I'll do mine." Riku replied.
"I'm not so sure it's a good idea." Kurama said.
"Listen, you just focus on getting that garter off Botan and let me handle the rest." Riku said making Botan blush.
"Alright. Let's do it." Kurama said.
Botan stood up. "Alright everyone it's time to toss the bouquet."
Every girl not married and over sixteen gathered in a group.
Botan smirked as she watched Crystal drag Shizuru into the group.
"Okay here it comes." Botan turned away from them and tossed the bouquet into the air.
Mizu and Tengoku waited a few seconds and pushed Shizuru into the flowers' path. The bouquet was going to hit her head so she had no choice but to catch it.
"Way to go sis!!!" Kuwabara yelled. Shizuru had paled.
"Congratulations Shizuru." Crystal said.
Shizuru stepped back and glared at everyone. "You set me up!!!" The girls laughed nervously and bolted to safety.
While Shizuru chased them Botan sat on a chair and Kurama kneeled in front of her.
"This is embarrassing." She said.
"Yes but it's tradition." Kurama replied. She sighed and presented him her leg. As everyone cheered on, Kurama reached up her dress and pulled the garter off.
Riku smirked. It's time. He got up and sneaked off to a secluded location.
Kurama stood with the garter and waited for a group of guys to gather in the space. When Riku gave the signal Kurama turned around and tossed the article of clothing. Riku wind morphed and flew toward the garter. He blew it over everyone's head and toward his target. With a smirk he let it fall. The garter flew down and landed…on Jin's horn.
"What the?" Jin said as he grabbed it and pulled it off. Shizuru had a look of shock on her face.
"Well my friend I guess you'll have to met your new bride" Touya said before grabbing and dragging him to where Shizuru stood.
"Hey you cheated." Jin said as he pouted.
Touya didn't reply and pulled the wind master in front of Shizuru.
"I think you two make a perfect pair. Shizuru's temper should keep Jin out of trouble." Botan said. The two glared at them.
Kurama chuckled until he noticed what Hiei and Nami were trying to do in the corner. They had obviously had too much punch. Luckily, Riku appeared in front of them and dragged them into a neighboring room. Kage followed and picked up any articles of clothing Hiei and Nami left behind.
"Not bad." He said as he picked up Nami's bra. Maya snatched it out of his hand and glared at him.
"What?"
Yusuke was on the floor laughing much to Keiko's embarrassment.
"How dare you!!!" Suzuka yelled before slapping Shishiwakumaru across the face.
Juri looked at them. "What's with you two?"
"This blue haired samurai wannabe actually said he was better looking then me." Suzuka replied making everyone anime fall.
"Well it's true. The ladies like me much more than you."
"Do not."
"Do to."
"Do not."
"Do to."
"That's it." Suzuka said. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a glove. "I challenge you to a bishi pageant at the mall. Whoever gets the most fangirls wins." He then smacked Shishiwakumaru across the face with the glove.
"I accept your challenge." The two got up and walked away from the temple.
Yusuke rolled his eyes. "Pretty boys."
So after some more dances and trying to keep the now sober twins from peeking into Hiei and Nami's room, Kurama and Botan got into their limo.
"Have a good honeymoon." Said Crystal.
"Try to get some sleep at least." Said Kage.
The two opened the window and waved as the car drove off.
"That was fun." Botan said as she and Kurama settled in.
"And now we're off to Hawaii my wife."
"There's just one thing that bothers me."
"What's that?"
Botan looked at him suspiciously. "Just what did Yoko mean when he said he'd see me later tonight?"
Kurama gulped. "Well uh…you see…"
People just pray for the fox. I know the wedding kind of sucked but I hope the comedy more than made up for it. Spring Break's almost over. It went by to fast. Anyway the next chapter will be up Sunday.
Next chapter, (the final chapter) the gang heads to Riku's pack and Yukina gives birth. Review please.
