Now He's Making Me Mad!
Antauri leaned over Ichigo as she woke up, her eyes fluttered open and she looked up into his smiling face. He nuzzled his nose against hers,
"Hey Pretty Girl, I've got a surprise for you!" he whispered before kissing her. "Want it?" Ichigo nodded excitedly
"Yeah! What is it?" she asked, springing up in bed, "Tell me!" Antauri laughed and tapped the side of his nose. Ichigo pouted, "C'mon Antauri, do I need to do 'the face'?" she mock threatened.
"Ok, I'll show you" he said quickly and hopped off the bed, Ichigo scrambled out of bed to follow him.
When he reached the main room, he stopped. Ichigo appeared beside him, looking around wildly,
"Where is it? Tell me, I can't see it!" she complained, hovering in circles trying to see whatever the surprise was. Antauri laughed and flew up next to her; he had a big smug grin on his face,
"I'll tell you..." he whispered and Ichigo shot up so they were touching nose to nose. Her eyes glittered with excitement, Antauri's grin widened, "...after breakfast" he finished, causing Ichigo to nearly fall out of the air.
"What?" she cried as Antauri flew towards the kitchen, "but Antauriiiiiiiiiii" she whined.
"No buts, now come and have breakfast" he ordered, still grinning widely. Ichigo pouted and complied.
After breakfast, which had been rather eventful after Malachite 'accidentally' slipped and made his eggs land on Antauri's head, Ichigo dragged Antauri into the main room again. She had begged him constantly throughout breakfast to give her a hint, but he just grinned mischievously at her and continued eating, so now she was almost bursting with curiosity.
"Alright" Antauri said, breathless from laughing at her child-like technique. Ichigo cheered happily and looked at him expectantly, he smiled at her. "Close your eyes" he ordered and Ichigo was quick to comply. He smiled and took her hand, guiding her over to the exit tubes.
Ichigo felt the rush of air as she was pulled up one of the exit tubes, she cracked one eye open slightly and saw that they were in the Brain Scrambler. Antauri looked back and saw her looking around.
"Hey, no peeking!" he cried, covering her eyes with his hands. Ichigo giggled slightly,
"So where are we going?" she asked, but she could tell what the answer would be.
"It's a surprise" he answered and Ichigo rolled her eyes. She felt fabric touching her face and gasped slightly,
"What's going on?" she asked in a fearful tone, but her fear ebbed away when she felt Antauri's hand on her shoulder.
"Relax, it's just a blindfold" he soothed, "so you don't start peeking again" Ichigo relaxed again and heard the engines whirr to life and felt the force push her as they blasted off.
Antauri felt the pressure lift as they left the planet's gravity and he relaxed, he looked over at Ichigo, who was looking around despite not being able to see. He reached over and pulled her onto his lap, he felt her tense slightly but relax again when she knew it was him. Giving up on trying to figure out the surprise, she rested her head against his chest and wrapped her arms around his waist. Antauri smiled at her lovingly and kissed her forehead.
It felt like hours until they arrived, but maybe that was because she couldn't see. Still, Ichigo felt the jet slow down and guessed they were near their destination. A little while later, there was some shaking and a bump as the jet landed on the planet's surface, she was guided out by Antauri again and felt the blindfold lift off.
"Open your eyes" he whispered to her.
When she did, she was confronted by what can only be described as a utopia. It was filled with lush green forests, large beautiful flowers, a waterfall which had a rainbow soaring over it and many rivers branching off of it. They were standing on a large hill which was covered with pretty blue-white flowers and led straight into the paradise. Ichigo was speechless when she turned to Antauri,
"I..." she felt tears well up in her eyes and launched herself onto Antauri. She kissed him deeply and ran little butterfly kisses down his jaw. "I love you" she whispered, eyes shining with tears.
Antauri grinned at her and placed her back on the ground,
"Ichigo" he started and his eyes seemed to smoulder intensely, "when we first met, I have to admit that I was a little unsure of how I felt. I was infatuated instantly by your charm and wonderful personality, not to mention your beautiful face, but I didn't know if it was wrong. After all, you were human and I was a mere animal, I felt like I could never possibly be worthy of your affections. But... when you touched my cheek, I felt like I'd been touched by an angel and I knew instantly that I'd fallen in love with you. I decided then that, even if I could never be with you, I'd would always protect you. And... When you were stolen away by Mandarin, I felt like I'd betrayed you... like I'd let you down." Ichigo looked awed by Antauri's intense speech and touched his cheek, he placed a hand over hers and rubbed it gently as he continued, "...just like when I watched you fall into that abyss. I felt like I'd lost part of my soul and I would've given anything to have you back. Wha-what I'm trying to say is... I need you Ichigo. More than you will ever know, you have no idea how vital you are in my life. If... if I didn't have you then... then I wouldn't be able to go on living. I'd willingly put my life on the line to be with you... oh, Ichigo... I just... I mean..." he cupped her face and gazed into her cerulean eyes, "I love you" he kissed her passionately and took her hand as he sunk onto one knee, "that's why I wanted to ask you this" he reached out his hand towards the Brain Scrambler and a dark blue box levitated out. He took it out of the air and turned back to Ichigo, "Ichigo... will you... WHERE'S THE RING?" Ichigo snapped out of her awed and very teary expression and looked confused as Antauri suddenly started searching everywhere.
"It's gone... just vanished! I know I had before we left, I checked! Where could it-" he stopped and they both looked up as Malachite dangled out of the Brain Scrambler holding something shiny tightly in his hand.
"Missing something?" he asked casually, Antauri looked stunned for a moment before his expression darkened.
"You're dead!" he growled, launching himself at the little monkey. They both ended up behind the Brain Scrambler and Ichigo sweat dropped as she heard clashing of metal, screams, bumps and lots of swearing.
Eventually, Antauri reappeared muttering darkly and glaring at Malachite, who was teary eyed and rubbing his sore rear. He walked back up to Ichigo and pouted slightly,
"It took me forever trying to get that speech just right" he sulked; Ichigo smiled sympathetically and kissed his nose.
"Never mind, I thought it was wonderful. I... never knew you loved me so intensely" she blushed and looked away for a moment "now, didn't you have something you wanted to ask me?" Antauri smiled at her, feeling much better than he had five minutes ago, and he sunk back down onto one knee, he took Ichigo's hand again,
"Ichigo... my angel, will you marry me?" he asked, looking sincere, and Ichigo felt the water works start up again.
"Yes" she sobbed happily, she jumped into Antauri's arms and kissed him passionately, "Yes, of course I will!" Antauri started to cry silently as well and they kissed again before Antauri held up the engagement ring. It wasn't a ring at all! It was a bracelet, made of pure white gold, crafted into two entwining ribbons, one encrusted in white diamonds, the other in pink quartz. On the lock was a heart made of gold and engraved into the inside was a message. Ichigo took the bracelet and looked down to read the inscription, which was hard as she was shaking so much, finally she managed to calm down and stop shaking and she read it,
'Together forever, my sweet angel, Ichigo, I will love you for all eternity! Love Antauri' it read and Ichigo felt a fresh wave of tears forming.
"Oh Antauri" she sobbed as he took the bracelet and slid it onto her wrist, "it's beautiful! Thank you!" she hugged tightly and rested her head against his shoulder as she spoke in his ear,
"I couldn't have wished for a more wonderful husband! Oh Antauri, my aibou, I love you so much!" she whispered. This small speech was enough to make Antauri start crying too and they gazed at each other lovingly.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah! You love each other! Can we go home now? I'm hungry!" complained Malachite, shattering the perfect atmosphere.
Ichigo laughed and blushed slightly whilst Antauri's eye twitched out of irritation,
"I'm gonna throw him out at the nearest refuelling station!" he hissed, making Ichigo tap him on the shoulder and tutt mockingly.
"Now now, Antauri! Be nice!" she teased.
Antauri sighed and lifted himself and his bride to be into the Brain Scrambler,
"I just hope Zakuro won't be this much trouble!" he muttered to Ichigo, causing her to blush even more and start giggling. Malachite raised an eyebrow and shook his head,
'Adults' he thought as the jet blasted off the planet and back towards home.
Yay! A wedding, an unplanned wedding! (Sweat drops) Heh whoops! Oh well, review people and I'll put you in! Anyone wanna be a bridesmaid? I'm gonna have six, so the first six who ask are it!
