Chapter 18: The Wedding day
"What do you mean you won't help?" Asked Mushu all confused as to why she wasn't going to help Shang.
"Mushu, he's not my problem I'm going to get married soon, and well I can't go around trying to save him plus I wouldn't be able to get through the guards. He never should have come here any ways." Mulan explained.
"He tried to apologies and explain his feelings to you that's why he came. Even if you made your decision you should think about your friendship!"
"He treated me badly! You call that friendship?" Mulan turned around in anger.
"But...." Mushu started.
"No Mushu, I'm sorry." Mulan interrupted, making her final answer clear and to the point.
Mushu sighed, "Don't say sorry to me...." Mushu jumped on the window sill and was out. Mulan was feeling guilt but she couldn't go off after Shang, what would Bao think? Plus even if she did it what would happen then? Mulan thought about it all of the possibilities in her room until Mai Lynn came into her room to help her into her dress and get everything ready for she only had a couple hours till she would be pronounced Bao's wife.
The solders tied Shang's hands back up and began to drag him out of the cell to the outdoors. Shang squinted his eyes at the sight of the shining sun. He lowered his head from it then once he got his vision back he lifted his head back to the sun to look at it and feeling its warmth for the last time. Shang's mind began to travel back to Mulan and the memories of her when she was in the army, after the night at her house when he stayed for dinner. Even when he saw her lying in the doctor's bed sleeping away. He had a faint grin on his face from the memory of her. He wanted the memory of her just in her dress to stay with him even till death.
The sound of something flying came straight past him but hit the solder that was holding Shang by his arms, Shang jerked his head and saw the arrow sticking from out of his neck; he fell hard to the dirt ground. Then more and more arrows came from all around, Shang stood there making sure that he would not get in the way of one of the arrows that was not meant for him.
Hours later Mulan found herself walking down the walk way towards Bao, who from the distance that she could see was standing strong and proud as he watched his soon to be wife come down. Many people surrounded the both of them, but all eyes were on her. The expression on there faces made Mulan smile and blush. They looked at her as if she was made from heaven. The dress that she wore was so elegant and beautiful it had to be made for a princess. She looked gorgeous and she felt gorgeous as well. They could tell it was her to because she didn't have all the white crap all over her face this time which made her happy. Once she reached him she smiled when he felt his hands around hers.
"Come on!" Wang yelled out to Shang. Shang took one of the daggers that lay by its dead owner and began to cut the ropes. He began to go quicker when he could hear more of Chi Fu's solders coming. Even though the Emperor was dead Chi Fu held the place of the palace emperor until the son another Emperor came, the family was close to the first Emperor and did not live far. Once the ropes were cut Shang got onto his stallion that Wang had brought and galloped away with no sign of him or his men.
Shang and Wang were now in the back of Mulan and Bao's wedding ceremony watching from the end of crowd behind a bush. "I now pronounce you husband and wife." Shang felt his heart sink within him; he was too late to tell her more of how he felt about her. "You may kiss your bride." Shang turned away with a broken heart; his breathing began to get faster and faster as did his heart.
"Shang?" Wang whispered.
"No....no..." He said as he shook his head in disbelief. "No!" Everyone became silent and turned their attention towards the back and looked around for the person who spoke.
"Oh...no..." Mulan whispered but it was load enough that got Bao's attention. He leaned into her and lifted her chin.
"Was that him?" Bao asked with a concern look upon his face. Mulan didn't answer. "I thought you said he was leaving?"
"Well he was until he came back and he started talking to me saying..." She looked up and saw his reaction was happy or sad but more of a displeased look. She regained and corrected what she said quickly, "he left saying goodbye but I don't know why he's here."
"Excuse me....Shang?" Bao called out. The guest turned to each other in wonder why they said his name none of them knew that he was alive or anything. Whispers began to go on between each other.
Shang cursed under his breath. And began to stand up from out of the bushes and walk to the way of the walk way. When he became visible all began to talk more and more, whispering to one another about Shang and how he was back from the dead. "Yea...I'm here."
"If you don't mind me asking but aren't you supposed to be somewhere else?" Bao asked.
Shang lowered his head a bit almost as if he was thinking or ashamed of it. "Yeah...I am but I forgot something and then the funny thing is that I found out that I lost this thing a long time ago.....and that's what the whole NO!....was about..." Shang explained with some sarcasm. He began to stare at Mulan, making her know that he was talking about her. "And with saying no, it was only because I was being so stupid that I could find this thing, and also for being so stupid." He continued to stare at Mulan with easy eyes but also pleading ones. "So I apologies to you and Mulan and everyone here for interrupting.... "Shang began to bow down slowly. Bao knew or pretty much figured out what he was trying to say and why he was there. He knew he was there for Mulan. As he even looked at her he noticed that she continued to stare at him with sympathy. Everyone watched as he began to get back up, But as he was going up he said, "I'm still trying to find this thing though, because I'm so determined to find it....." Shang said as he looked now at Bao with revenge written all over his eyes.
