AN: It's time, enjoy the chapter.
Ch 7 I Do
Somewhere on Luluhawa Island Resort a summon circle appears, three rings of light appeared within the circle. The rings came together forming a female body with wings. Once the light fades a woman stood in a barren field. "Why am I the one who has to meet up with him." The Servant huffed.
The Servant notice a small lake nearby and went over it to see her reflection. Upon arriving at the lake she notices a slight difference in her. "Damn you father, I will have your head once this is done." She cursed at her father.
Upon further inspection, the Servant notices the host had similar futures as her original body. Red hair with blonde strands behind them, ivory white skin, and big red lips. The only thing that wasn't on this body's features was the golden eyes.
The Servant looks at the light in the distance, feeling a familiar presence on a certain master. "He's here on this island," She smirks morphing her draping into a white muscle shirt and blue baggy pants with white converse shoes. "Well Humanity's final master, here I come." She heads to where the city's light shined in the distance.
June 15, 2024, 10:50 AM
Ritsuka was arranging his tie in the mirror for his wedding and Mashu's wedding. "Damnit, I can't get this right!" Ritsuka cursed.
"Master," Galahad walks over to him and fixes his tie for him. He wore a whole black shirt, a light grey vest, and a black suit. The only thing colorful on his suit is the purple tie around his neck.
"Sorry, Galahad," Ritsuka apologies to his Servant.
Galahad shook his head. "Don't be, I had trouble tying a tie before. I had a lot of practice during my time here." The Shielder said to his master.
Kadoc walks in the room in a grey suit, with a light blue ascot (5th Anniversary). "Hey, you two should get going. By the time we've arrived there, the weddings already over." He told both.
Ritsuka turns to Kadoc tapping his foot near the door. "Alright, alright, Kadoc. We're done." He smiles at the former Crypter.
"Finally, it took you that long to fix up a tie Ritsuka?" Kadoc looked at his friend.
Ritsuka scoffs at the white-haired man. "Hey, I know you too had trouble with putting on your suit." He points at one of his best men.
Kadoc froze once he heard what Ritsuka said. "W-Wait, how did you know?" he asked him with a smug look on his face. Then it hits him, "Anastasia," he groans.
"Yep, Anastasia told me one time that you're terrible at fixing up a suit," Ritsuka smirks at the former Crypter.
Kadoc gritted his teeth that his former Caster told Ritsuka about his weakness. "Damn her, fine I admit it. I have a hard time putting on a suit and tie, I had Caster helped me with it," he confesses.
"Galahad." Ritsuka held out his hand to the Shielder.
Galahad groans handing Ritsuka a twenty-dollar bill. "Here." He gruff.
"Thank you, my future Brother-in-law," Ritsuka smirks at the Servant who looks away from his gaze.
Kadoc shook his head before smiling at him. "I swear, you never change." He chuckles before someone else enters the room.
"Ritsuka dear, are you all set? We're leaving soon." Peperoncino walks into the room wearing a black suit, pants, and shoes, and a red shirt underneath. "My, Medb has really outdone herself with your clothes."
"Thank you, Pepe," Ritsuka thanked his other Best man.
"It's the truth, my dear." Peperoncino places his hands on his hip.
"Come on, we have to get there before the girls arrive with Mashu." Charlie walks wearing a white suit, pants, and a blue shirt with a black tie.
"Alright Charlie," Ritsuka laughs heading out of his room to the church.
"I swear, if we're late it's not my fault." Kadoc sighs following the director out the doors.
Peperoncino smirks at Kadoc's statement. "No said it's your fault Kadoc dear." He replies.
Galahad just sighs, remaining silent as he follows them out of the door.
Mashu stares at herself in the mirror before her, she looks at her dress. A long white dress that covers around her collar bone, two arm gloves that reach up to her shoulders, white stockings that reach to her thighs, and silver heels on her feet. A silver tiara was on her head that was attached to her veil and a violet flower in her hair.
"This is really happening," Mashu said to herself, never expected the day to come.
Da Vinci places her hands on her shoulders with a bright smile on her face. "You look beautiful Mashu." She smiles at her wiping a tear from her face. She wore a white dress with stars near the bottom, around her waist, and on her breast. She wore gloves that reaches up near her elbows with stars embroidered at the edge. (Orchestra version).
"I wish Romani was here to see you both all grown up." Da Vinci sniffs.
Romani perks up from his playpen with Fou by his side, hearing his name from the Caster. Jeanne walks over to her master's son and lifts him in her arms. "Oh no Romani, Ms. Da Vinci wasn't talking about you." Jeanne in her third ascension without the armor pieces said to the child.
Romani looks confuse about what they're talking about, he is Romani. Who were they talking about?
"Thank you, Da Vinci-san," Mashu sniffs at her words.
Hinako steps into the room in a white dress, (5th anniversary) "Mashu, do you have your bouquet ready before we head to the aisle?" the Dead Apostle asked the bride.
Mashu's eyes widen, realizing that she forgot about the flowers. "Oh no, I completely forgot about the-"
"Flowers?" A new voice enters the room. They turn around to see Lancelot in a purple shirt with a navy-blue tie and a white suit and pants. He was holding a bouquet of pink and violet flowers in his hands
Mashu gave a dead stare at her Pseudo-father. Da Vinci steps forward grabbing the bouquet from his hands. "Thank you, Sir Lancelot; I'll hand these to Mashu dearest." The Caster smiles at the Knight.
"Uh, I was going to hand these to her myself," Lancelot responded to the Head of the Technology Development Division.
"Oh? Well then here you go." Da Vinci gave the bouquet back to the Pseudo-father to give to his Pseudo-daughter.
Lancelot walks forward to Mashu with the bouquet in his hands. Mashu watches as her Pseudo-father handed over to her. "H-Here you go, M-Mashu." The Knight hand over the flowers.
Mashu took the flowers from his hands then stare at him. "Thank you…dad." She thanked Lancelot.
The Knight blinks at the no insult to the title he was given. "Y-You're very w-welcome." He blushed.
Da Vinci smirks and places his hands on his shoulder. "So, Lancelot I have something in my mind."
Lancelot eyed the Renaissance Woman curious about what she has in mind. "What is it, Madam Da Vinci?" The Knight asked her.
The Caster grins and whispers what she had thought in her mind in his ear.
Church June 15th, 2024, 11: 11 AM
Ritsuka stood on the alter waiting for his bride to arrive through the door. He looks around the church where all his Servants, staff, and close friends gathered for the momentous occasion. On one side he saw Goldolf and some Mages from Atlas and the Association sitting together, the other side the Grangers, Neville, Luna, Daphne, Ginny, the twins, and Draco sitting on the benches.
Hermione, Ginny, Daphne, Luna, and Jasmine were filled with joy from being here. "This place is beautiful, whoever done this must have talent," Daphne observe the surrounding décor.
Jasmine saw Koyanskaya checking off something from a tablet in her hands. She sat beside the Tamamos. "I think I know who was the one who organizes this." Everyone looks to where the Alter Ego placing down her tablet speaking to what they believe her sisters.
"She seems the type to organize this event," Edward commented before feeling a nudge from his wife.
Dawn just stares at her husband leaning into his ears. "(Dear, don't forget Ms. Koyanskaya is Mr. Fujimaru's Secretary. She is the one who handles everything, it's not a surprise she did the décor in the church.)" she whispers.
"You're right dear." Edward smiles lightly at his wife.
"Ritsuka,"
"Seems to,"
"Be nervous,"
"Wonder why?" the twins asked not really getting why their future boss is all nervous.
Ginny and Luna sigh at the two. "Guys, it's his wedding. This is the most important time in his and Mashu's life." Luna explains to the twins.
"Just wait, you guys will be nervous too at your weddings." Ginny gave a mischievous smile.
Draco taps his shoe impatiently, "When is the wedding going to start? It's hot in here, can't they at least afford an AC in here?"
Daphne slaps his arm for complaining. "Draco, that's enough. You slept late didn't you?" she asked her to betroth.
Draco hid his face from Daphne knowing she knows that he gets cranky if he sleeps late. "Y-Yes." He blushed.
"What am I going to do with you Draco." Daphne sighs.
Neville chuckles then stop when he didn't see Ritsuka and Mashu's son. "Hey, have you seen Romani around?"
"Oh, he's with Berserker over there with Ritsuka's mother." Hermione points to Raikō, Kintoki, Goetia, and Tiamat near the front.
"Mother?" Dawn pique, she looks at where her daughter was pointing to. She saw a dark-haired woman sitting in front next to a blonde man and a powder blue woman with horns. "That's his mother?" Her eyes widen at the sight of the horns,
"Mother figure," Dawn turns to the side to a dark green man with purple eyes wearing a cloak. "Mother is a mother figure to little brother after what happened to his egg and sperm donor." Kingu gritted his teeth at the thought of them.
"O-Oh," The Grangers felt the hatred from this man possibly his older brother figure. "I'm guessing you're his brother?" Edward asked.
Kingu eyed the humans next to him. "Indeed humans, I take it upon myself to see that no one will harm little brother." He stares at the alter seeing him smiling at him.
"Well that's nice of you," Dawn was happy there's an older brother in Ritsuka's life that cares for him.
"Tch, say that when he constantly throwing himself to danger." Kingu clicks his tongue. "I swear most days I wish he would just stay in one place then going out." he walks over to where Tiamat was sitting and sat next to her.
Edward and Dawn gave a light smile at the unique way of how Kingu would wish that Ritsuka avoided the outdoors. "W-Well at least he's caring enough to Ritsuka," Dawn said happily.
"You're right there, dear." Edward smiles.
Ritsuka took a deep breathe feeling butterflies in his stomach, he looks to see Raikō taking Romani's arm and wave at him. He wore a baby version of the Royal Brand Mystic Code but white, his son smiles at him as he waves in response.
"Nervous, master?" Galahad asked, standing next to him.
Ritsuka smiles, not even looking at the Shielder. "Can't you tell?" He felt the sweat coming down his neck.
"Try to relax, Ritsuka." Kadoc sighs waiting for this thing to start.
Peperoncino nodded. "I agree Hun, remember you're the one who wants to marry Mashu dearest." He points out.
"He has a point master," Kirei added, standing behind the altar ready to wed the two. "You did choose to marry Lady Kyrielight."
Ritsuka's smile twitches. "Shut up," he sang.
Suddenly Mozart and Salieri start to play a song chosen by Mashu. Elizabeth in a white dress walks up to the mic. (37. Umareru Negai Fruits Basket)
Everybody stood up from their seats and turn their heads to the door. Ritsuka watches the door opened as Pollux, Hinako, Jeanne, and Jalter walk down the aisle with white flowers in their hands. They walk up to the altar, taking their places on the side of the altar as Bridesmaids.
Soon Arturia Lily, Abigail, Jack, and Alice in little white dresses came skipping down the aisle throwing flowers on the way.
Elizabeth held the mic and began to sing. kurayami no naka wo samayoi aruite
Ritsuka saw Mashu walking in the room in the most beautiful dress she wore. "My look how beautiful she looks." Peperoncino gasps. "I wish Ophelia was here to see her." He sighs happily letting tears fall.
kokyousae wasureteita, ippon no michi jyanai tte wakatte mo mayou koto de
tomawari shita hi mo nazukashii
Mashu steps forward with a bouquet in her hands. She looks to the side; Lancelot took his Pseudo-daughter's arms and walks down the aisle like father and daughter would during weddings.
"Ready Mashu?" Lancelot looks at her.
Mashu nodded. "Yes,"
dare mo ga omoiedaku shiawase ni furetakute namidashite wa mata susundeiku kokoro ga atatakakute kanjiteru yo hitori jyanai koto
"Beautiful…" Ritsuka was at a loss for words. All he could see was an angel walks towards him.
The two walk down the aisle at a calm pace, allowing everyone to see the bride. "She looks beautiful." Jasmine wipes a tear away. (End Song)
"Y-Yes," Draco sniffs.
Ritsuka steps up to the two holding out his hand towards Mashu. Lancelot took Mashu's hand and place it in his master's. "Take care of her, master." Lancelot smiles before walking to his seat.
"I will." Ritsuka watches his Saber stand alongside Arthur and the other Knights. He looks at his bride and smiles at her.
"Senpai," Mashu smiles at him.
"Mashu." Ritsuka smiles back. He helps her up to the altar and faces Kirei opening his book.
"I see everyone has gathered here," Kirei said looking down at the book. Everyone sat down in their seats and Elizabeth steps back. "Fellow Servants, Humans, and Chaldeans. We're gathered here today for the momentous occasion." He looks at the couple before him.
"The union of Mashu Kyrielight and our honorable master, Ritsuka Fujimaru." The Alter Ego started. "These two had to face many challenges up to now, together they've overcome them and emerge victoriously."
Mashu and Ritsuka look at each other in their eyes, Sapphire meets Amethyst.
"We witness many things, felt despair, and hopelessness," Kirei said with a smile. "We have lost many people we care about." Many of the staff and Servants look a bit sad but remain smiling at the ceremony.
"We supported these two, placing our hopes and dreams in their hands above the grief, despair, and hopelessness." Kirei looks at everyone then back to the two. "These two are special, the odds were against them, and yet they prevail through the chaos. Now we serve them with our beings." His words moved some people as the music plays lightly through the ceremony.
"I may be not the perfect human being nor everyone in this room," Kirei said causing some light laughter. "Even these two have flaws that are like us. We Servants learn from them, help us grow, and changed our lives for the better."
Koyanskaya took out a handkerchief and daps her eyes a bit. She hands it to Ashyia who also started to tear up. "Their love inspires every one of us to find the human within us. Thus I am honored to wed these two," he turns to Ritsuka ready for him to make his vows. "Please recite your vows to each other."
"Mashu, you were my first friend when I arrived at Chaldea. You were with me through the journey tracked and help me grow as a person." Ritsuka said with pride. "Moving forward, I started to realize my feelings towards you, and I fell heads over heels for you from the moment I realize it." he smiles at his soon to be wife.
Mashu felt her heart pounding with love for her Senpai from the moment she heard those words. "You've been with me in the toughest times in my life, from the doctor's sacrifice to the Crypters and the Lostbelts, and my family. You've always been on my side, now I want to be on yours until we part." Ritsuka finished.
Kieri sniffs before turning to Mashu. "Ritsuka, from the moment I meet you sleeping in the halls." Many of the Servants let out a small laugh, remembering the story. "I insisted that my name wasn't important, but you persisted, and that time during the explosion you held my hand with kindness and warmth. From that moment I felt like a person thanks to you."
"You help me grow and get stronger; I learn so much from you of what being a person is," Mashu stated. "You smile through the darkness even if it's fake, you still smile for mine and everyone else sake. That I admire you for that, I wanted to be always by your side; even that means we face the end of the world and you gave up. I want to smile for you as you did for me." she smiles at Ritsuka who smiles back at her.
Peperoncino sniffs wiping a tear away, he looks at Galahad and Kadoc who did the same thing. 'Softies' he chuckles to himself.
Jalter held her tears in trying not to show weakness. Jeanne, Hinako, and Pollux shook their heads at the Avenger trying to hide her soft side.
Dawn leans on her husband's shoulder, remising the time of their wedding. Edward raises her hands to his lips and kisses them. Draco places his arms around Daphne as she held his hand.
Hermione and Jasmine shared a tissue moved from the words spoken to the two. Neville and Luna held hands feeling the love in their air of the bride and groom. The twins just cried, leaning on each other watching the ceremony.
Kirei smiles ready to say his part. He turns to his master with pride. "Ritsuka Fujimaru repeats after me, 'I, Ritsuka Fujimaru."
"I Ritsuka Fujimaru."
"' Take Mashu Kyrielight to be my wedded wife,'"
"Take Mashu Kyrielight to be my wedded wife.'"
"' To have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health,'"
"to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health,"
"' to love and to cherish, till death do us part'"
"to love and to cherish, till death do us part"
Kirei nodded and turns to Mashu. "Repeat after me, "I, Mashu Kyrielight,"
"I, Mashu Kyrielight,"
"'Take Ritsuka Fujimaru to be my wedded husband.'"
"Take Ritsuka Fujimaru to be my wedded husband."
"' To have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health,'"
"to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health,"
"' to love and to cherish, till death do us part'"
"to love and to cherish, till death do us part"
Kieri looks at Ko Gil, holding a pillowcase with two silver rings. "May I have the rings?"
The young Golden King steps forward to Mashu and Ritsuka holding out the pillowcase. Ritsuka took one ring and slide in on Mashu's finger, the same was done to Ritsuka by Mashu.
The Archer walks back to his place, Kieri looks at both. "By the power vested to me by the Holy Church, I now pronounce you both as husband and wife." He announced for everyone to hear. "You may kiss the bride!" (37. Umareru Negai Fruits Basket 2:55)
koko kara mata hajimeru, dare mo ga omoiedaku, shiawase ni furetakute namidashite wa mata susundeiku
Ritsuka took Mashu's shoulders and pulls her close, kissing her lips. She returns the kiss by kissing him back. They felt like they're the only ones in the entire world, letting their kiss swept them away.
Everyone stood from their seats, clapping and cheering for the newlyweds. Some were crying with joy and many were shouting and cheering for the two.
yashashii sono kotoba de, kokoro ga atatakakute kanjiteru yo, hitori jyanai koto
Ritsuka let's go of his wife and smiles brightly at her. He looks at his Best men clapping for him, Galahad nodded, Peperoncino cried tears of joy, Kadoc smiling at him.
Mashu looks at her Bridesmaids with the brightest smile she gave. Pollux smiling sweetly at her, Jeanne clasps her hands to her heart with a soft smile, Jalter giving a thumbs up to her, and Hinako clapping for her.
They turn to each other, meeting face to face. "I love you, Mashu Kyrielight Fujimaru; now and forever." Ritsuka smiles sweetly at her.
Mashu smiles at her husband. "I love you too, Ritsuka." They kissed again as the crowd cheered louder.
Outside the church, a Servant with red hair watches the wedding ceremony from across the street. "Huh, the human and that Demi-Servant got married. Good for them, maybe I'll pay a visit." She walks to the end of the street going to a near drug store.
Venue 5:50 PM
"Alright, everybody! Let's get this party started!" BB was behind the DJ booth playing some music, "May we have the Bride and Groom take the dance floor," Ritsuka and Mashu walk down to the dance floor where they waltz to the music playing in the background.
Romani was with Raikō's lap, watching his parents dance. "Lookie there Romani, your mommy, and daddy are dancing with each other." The Berserker smiles.
"Fou, Fou!" Fou cheered while being held by the Berserker.
The violet-haired boy claps his hands giggling at the sight of his parents dancing.
Soon everyone joins in the dance floor, having a great time.
Emiya brought in a huge white frosted cake that almost reaches the ceiling. Everyone gathers around the newlyweds as Mashu took the knife from the Archer, Ritsuka places his hands on hers cutting the first piece of the cake.
Kiara snaps a couple of pictures of them slicing the cake, and when Mashu put some frosting on his nose. "Oh, hold on! Bring in the boy." The Alter Ego motions Raikō to bring Romani over to them.
The Berserker place the small child in the arms of Mashu. The child laughs in his mother's arms as his father places his arms around them. "Look at the camera, Romani." Ritsuka smiles, facing the camera.
"Look at Kiara-san, Romani." Mashu snuggles her son causing a fit of laughter from the boy. Fou jumps on Ritsuka's shoulder ready to be a part of the photo.
"Alright, three…two…one!" The Alter Ego took the photo of the family and smiles at them. "That's good, I'll have it ready by the hour." She said to them.
Ritsuka looks at his friends who gather for their wedding. "Everyone, enjoy the food and the drinks! Have fun!" everyone cheered enjoying the reception, the adults were enjoying the new drinks concocted by Moriarty, and the children enjoying the food. Some were dancing while others socialize.
Ritsuka steps outside for a moment to get some air, he walks to a nearby bench under a gazebo. He looks at the night sky with stars scattered in the night. He looks closer noticing a rather large star shining above. "That wasn't there before." He said to himself.
"Ritsuka?" Ritsuka looks to the side, Mashu walks over to him walking over to the gazebo. "Are you okay?" she asked her husband.
"Yeah, never better." Ritsuka smiles. "I just needed some fresh air."
Mashu understand. "Ah, I get it. Meeting people is tiring for you for tonight." She giggles.
Ritsuka eyed his wife, "Well, how about you? Aren't you a bit tired?"
"Yes, just a bit." Mashu sat down next to her husband leaning on his shoulders.
"By the way, where is-"
"Romani-kun is with Tiamat-san and Kingu-kun. They'll be taking care of him for us tonight." Mashu informs him, looking at the night sky.
"I'm happy," Ritsuka said. "I'm happy for us, our friends, and our son. This is a dream come true for me." he smiles, holding his wife close to him.
Mashu nodded. "Yes, this is a dream come true for us." She smiles in his hold. "What do we do now? I know we're staying until your birthday and preparing to leave for the New Order-"
Ritsuka places his finger on her lips. "Ssshhh, just enjoy what we have right now Mashu."
"What a lovely couple." The newlyweds jump off the bench and turn to see someone who they thought they will never see again. "I have to say, even if I'm incapable of love anyone else. It's still nice to see newlyweds being in love on a clear night sky." The woman blows a puff of smoke.
"You…w-w-what are-" Mashu stammers at the sight of the woman. Ritsuka just stares at her as she came out of the shadow with a cigarette between her fingers.
"Humanity's final master, I was sent to join you in your next mission." The woman smiles before looking to the side. "Since I was summoned as a Servant in a human vessel, I guess I need to reintroduce myself."
Ritsuka was skeptical of the Servant before them, but if he sent her here to aid him. "No need for introductions, I know who you are already. The Goddess of Love, Lady Aphrodite."
The Goddess smiles at the master, she drops her cigarette on the ground and stomps on it. "Glad you remember me, Ritsuka Fujimaru. But I'll still introduce myself to you," she places her hands on her hips after transforming into her Olympian form,
"Servant Assassin, I am the Electronic Data Warfare Type Attack Vessel and the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite. I came on the behest of my father Zeus to aid you in this conflict. Be warn human, I'm from the Olympus Lostbelt, I'm not that kind or considerate to other humans than my Pan Human History version. Take care of me like the Goddess I am."
AN: How do you like it? I know placing an Olympian God in Chaldea Ranks is a bit much, but from how I see it they're facing the Olympian Gods and the best way is to have more on their side, Please leave a review.
