Here's a (for the time being a two shot) this has been in the works way to long. But here it is.

Here's a little passion project that took WAYYYY to long to finish. I've got two others in the work as well. One a BellxLefiya story

The other I'm working on that I'm really excited about for I'm calling project Lúthian! I'm hoping you'll really be surprised and excited for that one!

Anyway enjoy!

Today was quite eventful or rather the right words would be dramatic in Hearth Manor. Hestia and Lillie were both fighting over Bell, worse then usual, much to his dismay. It started at 2 in the afternoon and now here it was somewhere around 4 and they were stilll fighting.

Welf had left for his forge to get away, Mikoto went to visit her Familia and Haruhime was out doing laundry. Needless to say things were just that bad that they left him to his fate.

"WHAT WAS THAT LITTLE BRAT?!"

"YOU HEARD ME YOU BIG BOOBED CRADLE ROBBER! BELL DOESN'T WANT SOME BIG BOOBED LOLLI GODDESS!"

"LOLLI?! WHO'S THE LOLLI? IF ANYONE IS A LOLLI IT'S YOU MISS FLATY!"

This had been going on ever since Lillie suggested that she and Bell should go do some shopping and maybe get some lunch, that was until Hestia over Heard and butted in trying to turn the date into her favor. Needless too say things progressed from there until we arrive to where we are, the two now screaming with all their might and poor Bell right in the middle.

'My ears hurt.' He thought sadly.

"ALRIGHT WE'LL LET BELL DECIDED! BELL WHO DO YOU WANT TO GO WITH!?" Hestia still screaming looking at Lillie with rage in her eyes.

"Neither." Bell said in a whisper that the two couldn't hear.

"What?" Hestia asked finally in a normal voice much to his relief.

"I said I don't want to go with either of you!" Bell said in a raised voice though not screaming nor yelling.

"W-why?" Lilli asked. With that Bell had enough and forcefully freed his arms from their grasp.

"I'm tired of your bickering and more importantly, my ears hurt, I am going out by myself, and I hope that when I return you two will have made up." Bell said as he went to his room to prepare for his outing, ignoring the requests of the two.

'gods above, I wish they could get along better.' Bell sighed as he thought to himself. I hope the others are faring better then me.

Mikoto did feel some guilt and shame that she left Bell like that without even lifting a finger.

"Oh lord Takemazuchi how far have I fallen? What would you even say if you knew." She said to herself as she saw the home of her Familia; it was a surprise visit and she hoped that they could all get together for some event.

What that was she had yet to think, regardless she went ahead and found the hidden key and went in to the familiar air of home.

"Mikoto!" Chigusa said as she saw her enter the living room.

"Hey Chigusa, where are the others?"

"Ouka has gone out to the smith, he should be back soon, lord Takemazuchi is currently out shopping but it is possible that the two might come back together."

"All right, well then, I'm planning on staying for a while, is there any tea ready?" She asked to which Chigusa nodded and went to get some while she went to sit on the couch.

It was about ten minutes after she was brought the tea and the conversation and laughter reigned when they heard the door open and Takemazuchi had announced that the two were back to which Chigusa announced that They were in the living room.

"Ah Mikoto, I thought it would be you when she said we. It's nice to see you here today." Takemazuchi said smiling.

Ouka however seemed glum, he had this look to his face when he saw her there.

He was about to ask Mikoto to help him with the groceries, however fate had another plan.

"Mikoto I am glad you are here. I have news I wish to share with you two."

"What is it lord Takemazuchi?" They asked.

"Well as I was walking back form my trip before I ran into Ouka I had a run in with Amaterasu."

"Really? That's wonderful!" Mikoto and Chigusa both said, she was like a mother or at the very least an Aunt to them when they were growing up. She helped Takemazuchi care for the orphans and she showed and provided that extra bit of love and care that Takemazuchi as a man couldn't provide.

They all loved her.

"Yes it is, so we started to reminisce to past days, both in Genki and here. But long story short, I have a date with her tomorrow night!" He said smiling, oblivious to the shocked look of Chigusa, the desperate shock and horror of Ouka, whom had has face covered silently screaming. And the soul crushing hurt on Mikoto's face, tears were about to fall from her but before he opened his eyes she was quick to wipe away and put on the best fake smile she could.

"t-thats g-great l-lord Takemazuchi Chigusa said trying her best at sounding excited or neutral. She dared not look to Mikoto who was still smiling.

That seemed like all she could do, in fact if one where to know her feelings towards him you would think she had just shut down which of course she did in some ways. No, what this was, it seemed like she just shut herself off from all reality and thinking and there in her place was a soulless statue that could breath. However she was brought back to reality when Chigusa nudged her gently but firmly to get her attention.

"W-what?"

"I said since I do not have much knowledge in these things, could you perhaps help me in preparing for my date tomorrow?" He asked.

There it was, that infernal evil word. Every time she heard it and replayed it in her mind it hurt her even more. she saw the look on her gods face and the hope that she would help him. Oh how cruel that was and if only he knew, alas he did not which only hurt her more. No one said anything, Ouka and Chigusa simply looked with pity in their eyes waiting for her response.

I-I-I- I have to go!" She could only muster as she darted out before she lost control of her emotions. She was oblivious to everything, she did not hear the call of her name by a worried god nor the fact that the other two stopped him from going after her. All she did know and remember was running with tears that were now free to fall. So heavy and so freely they fell that it truly blinded her, rare was her attempt at wiping them away. It was an actual miracle that she did not run into anything or anyone... that is until she did.

"OOMP"

That collision was what finally brought her back once again to the world. "I-I-I-I'm sorry" She said, still sobbing.

"Mikoto?! What's wrong?!" She heard her name being called and immediately knew that voice. Wiping away her tears she responded "Bell?"

"What happened?!" He once again asked as he helped pull her up. However he was not prepared for her to start crying again; shocked and unsure what to do he thought back on some of the things his grandfather had thought him.. well the ones that didn't involve licking.

"Remember Bell, as a man it is your job NO!! your Honor as a man to protect the ladies. And if one is crying you must do what ever it takes to insure they are cared for and to help them get back up."

With those words in mind, he gently took her into a hug and he simply held her close until she could calm down enough to tell him what had happened.

After ten minutes and another five where he led them to a bench where she could rest she was ready to talk.

"Mikoto, what's wrong?" Bell asked her.

"My god Takemazuchi has a date tomorrow." she simply said.

Bell had a good understanding of what life in the Far East was like for her and her familia. Either told from her or the few stories from Haruhime.

Yet Mikoto had never told anyone other then her friends and Familia about her feelings, so Bell was unsure as to way she said that with such a sorrow filled voice.

"And why is that a bad thing?"

"B-Because I love him." She admitted.

Bell finally had an understanding, his view of the world opening up just earlier before that whole Hestia being kidnapped by Ares fiasco. So he was surprised about this revelation.

"I see." Was all he could come up with as he sat there with her.

"It's not fair. Why can't he see me more then just his child?!" She was now asking. More for herself then for Bell.

Bell for his part finally knew or at least had an inclination of the feelings Hestia holds for him. So he simply put his hand on hers and told her he understood. And in some ways he did, though the rolls were reversed and he did not know what to do about it in the slightest.

Sighing in defeat she seemed to accept it.

"I only have myself to blame. If only I was less of a coward."

"That's not true!" Bell finally stepped in.

"You're anything but a coward!" Bell now yelled as he placed his hands on her shoulders, her looking at him still sad.

"You are in fact the second bravest woman I know! Your courage to come and help me and my familia when we needed it. You took responsibility for the pass parade and came to save us. You helped save Haruhime! you are anything but a coward, so don't ever think you are do you understand me!" Bell said passionately surprising her speechless.

"A-alright." She conceded.

"Look, why don't I take you to this new place I've found, it serves eastern style food?"

Not really expecting that question she at first rejected the notion, half because she didn't want to be a bother to him and the other half because it was a bit of a habit or necessity to be more accurate; Seeing as the Takemazuchi familia was poor and near destitute places like pubs and restaurants especially were extremely rare treats for all of them.

However she relented after he insisted and told her he had enough money and that it would be good to get to know each other better as they've never really had one on one moments together..that whole fiasco with rescuing Haruhime didn't count.

"Kabuke? Is that right?" Bell asked as they arrived to the place after a ten minute walk.

"Kabuki." Mikoto said.

"It's actually a form of dance theater." She said now confused about the place.

"Huh, well all I've ever smelled was good food and never hearing anything about dancing. But I think this will cheer you up!" He said, smiling at her as he took her by the hand. The day was young and the night would be long yet the place was filled with laughing and smiling friends.

The sounds of Birds quickly woke up Mikoto. She awoke to there evil and profane noise as the light of the sun blinded her. She finally gave in with a grown her head was splitting in pure pain as every move, every sound and that blasted light pounded and tortured her very soul.

"Ugh. My head." She pitifully and painfully said. It took a great deal of effort for her to get a sense and be able to look around but when she did what she saw confused her to no end. The room looked like it was ravaged either by a Typhoon or a battle took place. The furniture was moved and even tossed all over. Papers littered the floor along with either broken or at least tilted paintings. The thing that stood out the most to her in the room however was the curtains. They had rips and tears but also greatly crumbled and half torn off the holdings.

'What in the gods name happens here?' She thought as once the thought ended and she had her look, she saw she herself was without any clothing. One would think she would immediately blush in shame or embarrassment but this was actually not that odd for her. Tried as she might she could not remember what had happened. She remembers Bell taking her in and she had after a while of sitting down, ordered some Sake, but that was about it.

Pulling the sheets over herself was when the revelation hit. For when she pulled the sheets up did it reveal another occupant there.

She looked in stunned horror as time itself seemed to stop. There before her gaze was her Captain and friend Bell Cranel. In all his naked glory curled slightly yet compared to her gently asleep as if nothing had happened.

She was about to scream. Oh how she wanted to, every ounce of her soul, every fiber of her being wanted to, yet she was a decently trained Shinobi her training quickly..or rather automatically set in. She had Ametarasu to thank for her training. She knew what had happened. The dried stain of fluids and some blood proved that to her. She didn't fell anything, at least not yet as it had yet to fully hit what had happen, plus in a twist of Morbid irony Amaterasu was a realist god she told Mikoto the life and sometimes "duty" Kunochi life or somewhat in her case fortunately the training detailed. She was no maiden fool of the romance that Shinobi birthed. She knew it was dirty, that's why she focused more on being a Samurai.

However, she did thank her for the training. However before she could do any physical plans to move and try to plan out the next actions she noticed a pice of paper in Between them. Picking it up and reading it did she finally forget her training... or rather it was completely abolished by the nature of a young maidens heart when the realization hit followed by a scream.

A scream that without any doubt woke the Bunny boy up in shock and horror.

And what pry tell caused the scream? What was on the paper that caused this and not waking up next to a naked man?

"Certificate of marriage.
