The cat's Wedding

The wedding was the week after the funeral and the Sohma family home was very busy. I was starting to get nervous, because I had to choose a dress; Ayame was very nice letting us have a discount on his wedding dresses. It was somewhat odd going to his work, but he insisted. Hatori and I went to go one day and he came out in his own wedding dress.

"Hatori! Meyrin! How nice of you to come to my humble abode!" Hatori looked uncomfortable and I felt uncomfortable myself. I was more shy than uncomfortable though. Ayame came up to me, put a couple of fingers on my chin, and tilted my head so I was looking into those yellow eyes of his. His long silver hair was drawn back in a braid. "So Meyrin you see anything you like?" He said softly. I looked around seeing that the shop was filled with wedding dresses.

I walked around looking at the different kinds of wedding dresses. I didn't even realize that someone was behind me until they spoke to me. "You're a pretty one aren't you?" the girl asked, I thought I had a heart attack. I turned around and saw a girl that looked a lot like me. She had brown hair pulled back in two pigtails she had a pair of thick glasses on. She was wearing a blue maid's outfit on. She had a look on her face that made me uncomfortable.

"Oh, looks like Mine's found another victim, don't worry Meyrin she'll take good care of you. Mine find something that fits this girl's tastes." Ayame yelled at the girl. "She's getting married in a week so make sure she looks beautiful." The girl turned around and saluted her boss. "Yes sir, come on Meyrin I think I know just exactly which dress you should try on first." She took me by the hand and led me to the back of the shop.

"so um you work here as Ayame's assistant?" I asked trying to make light conversation with the girl. She was making all sorts of measurements for the dress and recording them down in a book. I really wasn't sure what sort of things this man sold at this store but he said 'I make man's fantasies come true' whatever that meant. "That's right I work here as Ayame's assistant we make men's dreams come true but Hatori asked whether or not we could have a special day to take his fiancé here to pick out a dress. I was surprised that Hatori even had a fiancé let alone a cute one like you." She smiled at me, I blushed a little at the compliment, I never thought I was cute at all until yesterday when I saw Sebastian. I knew that he had faked his death when I saw that the corpse was a dummy.

Mine went to a closet full of dresses and thumbed through them. "here we go this one should do you nicely. She turned around "try this one on first Meyrin." She said handing me the dress. I felt uncomfortable about her watching me strip she saw me blush again and turned around so I could be changed. The dress was a standard white dress that had simple white flower pattern. It came down to my ankles. It showed off my womanly frame beautifully I put the tiara that would hold on my veil and she gave me a pair of high heels to try on as well. I looked at myself in the mirror and I gasped was that really me?

"I knew this dress would look good on you Meyrin, you look so beautiful. She said coming over and putting her hands on both of my shoulders. "would you like to try on the sleeveless version of this dress?" Mine asked me I nodded and I tried on the dress. I liked this one better. I looked like a princess, I turned around for Mine and she clapped her hands. "this one looks even better on you I think you should buy this one. But it's missing something, hold on I'll be right back." Mine went out of the changing room and down the hall; she came back with a pair of long gloves and a pair of diamond earrings and matching necklace.

I put these things on and then I looked at myself in the mirror. Oh my gosh I look even more beautiful in this dress. "I need to buy this dress." I took it all off and put my teal dress back on. We went back to the front to where the men were having a chat. Ayame looked at us as we came back into the main part of the shop.

"did you find a dress you liked?" I nodded and to my surprise the dress and all the accessories that went with it was fifty percent off just for me. I blushed and I tried not to get a nose bleed. The wedding wasn't until this Saturday and we had everything else picked out for us. We were going to get married in the same church that we buried "Sebastian" and then we would have a reception. I hope the young master and the rest are even allowed to go to the wedding; it would make me feel better knowing that they were there to support me.

The week went through fast and I grew to know my fiancé/cousin a little more. I knew that I would always love Sebastian, but what he said to me at his funeral gave me second thoughts of even getting married. 'how could you say such things about yourself Meyrin don't you realize how beautiful you are? I'm not lying when I say that I love you. I loved you in your human form, I loved you in your cat form and I love you in this form. It doesn't matter what form you take I will always love you.' Had he just been saying that or was that just a ploy to get her to back with them?

I shook my head I couldn't think about that right now I had a wedding to get to. I sat in a chair in front of the mirror in my room watching Rin brush my hair. the horse of the zodiac, when Akito announced that Hatori and I would be married soon she asked if she could be the one that gets me ready for the wedding. It was a huge almost empty room, with a huge mirror and a comfy chair. I had my (now) shoulder length hair down it looked cuter that way. I didn't mind my maroon colored hair it looked nice this way. I had put on a pair of contacts that Hatori had ordered just for this occasion. I told him that I couldn't see that well so he had me examined and gave me special contacts. My mind wandered to Sebastian again. Would he be coming to the wedding? Would he even care?

A small knock at the door came and the youngest members of the Sohma family came into the room. Kisa a young girl around six or seven came in she was in a powder pink dress. She was going to be my flower girl she was so cute. She's the tiger of the zodiac. The boy that came in was dressed in a nice tux and he looked cute as well. Hiro the sheep and little trickster came in as well, he was our ring bearer. "Auntie Mey it's time to go." Kisa said in her cute little voice I couldn't help it I had to hug her. Hiro just looked away from me he didn't like me all that much, he thought that I was just a stupid girl but I didn't care as long as I got this day over with.

I stood up and turned to go out the door, I stopped to see that the young master Ciel the young master was standing by the door. I smiled to see him and then Finny, Bard, Agni, Tanaka, Prince Soma. I looked to see if Sebastian was there as well but I couldn't see any sign of him. I was upset he was the one person that I wanted to see on a day like this.

"wow Meyrin you look really cute!" Finny said happily

"if you weren't marrying that other man I would ask you for my hand in marriage." Prince Soma said bowing to me, I had to blush.

"wow Meyrin you're beautiful if only Sebastian was here to see you now. Well I guess we should take our seats. Come on." The young master ushered the crowd away from the door.

"wow." Was all Bard said as a blush came across his face.

"Miss Meyrin you clean up Beautifully, if you would like would you allow me to give you away." Tanaka held out his hand toward me.

I began to cry "Thank you all of you for coming you made me so happy." I walked over and hugged all of them one at a time. Then the others walked away and I gladly took Tanaka's arm and he led me into the hallway. He led me all the way to the inside doors of the church. I had trouble balancing on my high heels but thankfully, Tanaka was there to hold me up. Behind me came Kisa, Hiro, and then Rin. We made it down to the carpeted aisle it was beautiful inside the church. It was a rustic inside completely made of stone and stain glass.

I could see that Hatori was already waiting for me at the altar and I started to get those second thoughts again. The wooden benches were decorated in beautiful arranges of flowers to mark that they were reserved for family and friends only. I was proud of myself for making it this far without tripping. I thought to fast and almost fell forward, if it wasn't for Tanaka who caught me around the middle.

I saw the entire Sohma family showed up for Hatori and on the other side was the two other servants, the young master prince Soma and Agni. No one else showed up for my side of the reception, but I only need that many people to show up for me. We walked up to the altar and my heart started to race 'I can't do this, I can't get married to someone I don't love.' My head said and my heart raced at a mile per minute. When we made it to the alter Tanaka let go of my arm and I faced the priest.

"Ladies and Gentlemen we are gathered here today to join these two in holy matrimony." He paused before he went on talking about how god is taking our hands, tying them together, and leading us into the light. Finally, he turned to Hatori and asked, "Do you have the rings?" Hiro handed him the rings and he put them in the barest pocket of his tuxedo. "Do you Hatori, James, Sohma take Meyrin Madelyn Sohma to be your lawfully wedded wife to cherish and hold, to love and praise in sickness and in health for as long as you two shall live?"

"I do." Hatori said then the preacher turned to me and asked

"and do you Meyrin, Madelyn Sohma take Hatori, James, Sohma to be your lawfully wedded husband to love and hold in sickness and health for as long as you both shall live?" I was frozen my heart was beating so fast that I thought that it would rip right from my chest. I couldn't do this I couldn't marry him.

"I….I….I can't." I said finally, there were gasps of surprise that went around the room. The best men Ayame and Shigure also had surprised looks on their faces when I said this. I turned around and ran out the door crying. I didn't stop until I was outside. It was freezing outside but it was the middle of January after all.

Someone walked up the steps and sat next to me, a red rose was in front of my vision. I looked up to see that Sebastian was sitting next to me I cried harder. With a gloved hand, he caught my tears. "You looked absolutely beautiful in that dress Meyrin, Hatori would have been lucky to marry you." I shook my head and took a handkerchief out from between my breasts and wiped my now mascara stained eyes. He picked my head up with one of his gloved hands so I was looking into his amber eyes. They were so beautiful those eyes of his I wanted to melt and drift away in them.

He must have seen the answer in my sad eyes because the next thing he said was "you don't want to marry him do you? Why don't you marry me instead?" he asked me and I thought he was joking but then he planted a kiss gently on my lips. He put something around my neck and then hugged me. I thought that I would change into a cat but I didn't I held him in my arms and we kissed.

The doors of the church opened and Akito came out all rage upon his face. "you better get back in there and marry him this is your last warning." Akito screamed at me. I had had enough of him yelling at me and beating me and pretty much I've had enough of him period. We both stood up and Sebastian who was also mad at this man, who had hurt me so many times before, was about to speak, I spoke first. "no." I said clearly and firmly. Akito was surprised and mad at the same time.

"what? What did you say you stupid wench!" He yelled at me some of the Sohmas who got tired of sitting and waiting for me to come back had come out to see Akito yell at me. Ciel and Sebastian were waiting for their opportunity to kill this man.

"you heard me I don't want to marry Hatori; I only love him as my cousin nothing more." I looked over at Hatori who had known my indomitable love for Sebastian, but he tried to restrain Akito. He had told me when we first met that Akito had a short time to live on this world, he sure seemed like he would live forever with the amount of anger he took out on me. "I love Sebastian, I've always loved him and he will be the one and only person I will marry! Ever since, I was born into the year of the cat I've been abused. When I finally found a family that cared about who I was and not what I was I was so happy. Now I came all the way back to my old family just to be treated the same way my father used to treat me, I'm sorry but I've made my choice I'm marrying Sebastian Michaelis today!"

Akito who had not seen my young master standing just near the mouth of the stone church said "you have no say in the matter! I make the rules in this family!" The young master stepped up from his hiding spot and spoke up.

"Meyrin, you were never excused from being my maid; therefore I will have to doc your pay when we return. However seeing that you still love Sebastian I approve of the wedding." He then turned to Akito "hey you, you're not allowed to abuse someone else's maids anyone tell you that? You mess with her and you'll have to hear from me!" I was so happy my dream was coming true. I was going to marry the man of my dreams. This made Akito furious but luckily Finny and Bard had rope with them and tied the man up and duck taped his mouth shut.

Everyone else went to their seats; I let Hatori be my third best man. Again, Sebastian picked me up and carried me to the altar; we heard whispers and murmurs as other people noticed him. Sebastian was the most beautiful man on the altar. He was dressed in a nice suit, undone so that his brown vest was showing above his button down white shirt and brown tie. His black pants matched his black suit. It wasn't the traditional dress for a wedding but it worked on such short notice. Sebastian looked good in just about anything anyway.

I hadn't noticed but I had turned bright pink from embarrassment. I tripped the entire time I walked to the altar this time. Lucky for me Agni had come to help Tanaka help me up on the fifth time I fell. It was a long walk to the altar but I made it. The priest looked at us confused before he started again. Finally he looked at Sebastian, and had to ask him for his name. "do you Sebastian Michaelis take Meyrin, Madelyn Sohma to be your lawfully wedded wife to hold and protect in sickness and in health for as long as you both shall live?"

Sebastian who had been holding my hand gave it a small squeeze. "I do." He said smiling at me.

Then the priest turned to me and asked the same of me "do you Meyrin Madelyn Sohma take Sebastian Michaelis to be your lawfully wedded husband to hold and protect in sickness and health for as long as you both shall live?"

I nodded "I… I… d…do" I finally got out.

"Then I now pronounce you both husband and wife you may now kiss the bride." Sebastian leaned in and gave me a kiss that lasted at least two minutes before he let go. I was quite dizzy after that kiss. Then he lifted me up and carried me out of the church a precession of people following us. I threw the bouquet of flowers over Sebastian's shoulder and Hatsuharu a tall boy with black and white hair. He looked over at Rin and blushed. He carried me all the way to the limo that was ordered for the newly wedded. I stayed in his lap the entire ride I didn't want to let go of him for fear of returning to that dark room.

"Sebastian, the Sohma family planned an after party at five is that alright with you?" I asked, Sebastian stopped kissing my neck he had been going at the rest of my body ever since we got in the car.

"That's fine with me but can you dance?" he asked me because he knew nothing about me. Of course I could dance Paula and I go dancing about just about every Sunday at a club. He smiled in a way that I knew he was joking I just stuck my tongue out at him.

"Yes I can dance but I'm more worried about you stepping on my feet ha ha." We both laughed because we knew that he was a really good dancer. There was a dress I had bought at Ayame's shop last week, while I was buying a wedding dress, hanging in the back of the limo. I had to get off of the comfort of Sebastian's lap and get it. We stopped at the hotel that Sebastian was staying at. We told the limo driver to pick us back here at quarter to five.

We went to his or should I say our room and he put me down on the bed. I never thought that this would happen to me, any of this. I blushed really badly waiting to wake up to reality but this was reality. The young master and the others told us before we got in the limo that they would see us at the after party. Sebastian started to undress me I was blushing harder, but I didn't want him to stop I knew where he was heading and I've waited for this moment just about my entire life at the manor. I had told him that I wanted to do this before we got out of the limo.

"Sebastian will this hurt?" I asked staring up into the man's now loving face. He was on top of me, he had me pinned to the bed he smiled

"If it hurts you just call my name ok?" I nodded and he started before I knew it the bed was rocking and I thought that it would snap under the combined weight of us.

It was a long time before I realized that time had passed, it felt so good his body pressed against mine. The smell of him so close to me he smelled lovely I shall never forget it. I looked at the clock on the TV. 4:25 PM 'shit we have twenty minutes before the driver came for us.' I slapped Sebastian's muscular arm.

"We have to get ready for the dance dear, lets pick up after the dance ok?" I bent forward and kissed him. I preferred kissing lip to lip than kissing with tongue. We were both covered in sweat. "I think we both need a bath, I'll take a really fast one ok?" He had gotten off of me and was sitting next to me on the bed. He put arm around me and smelled my hair. I knew he just wanted me to lay back down with him but I had a party to get to. I went to the bathroom and took a shower.

I had no toiletries in order to take a proper bath so I borrowed Sebastian's. After I was done I dressed in my dress I had bought at Ayame's shop. It was a rust red color with a yellow bow in the back. It was at a length that I wouldn't trip over it when I danced. It had a zipper on the side but I had asked Sebastian to zipper it for me. I had a pair of red sequined flats that went along with the dress.

"You look so beautiful dress as well my dear, red really does suit you." He kissed my neck and then went to take a shower. I stood there blushing. Ten minutes later we were downstairs waiting for the limo driver to come back. Sebastian was dressed in his suit he used to marry me I wondered if he had brought any more clothes than just suits.
