Fork In The Road
Chapter 10: I do.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Bleach!!
A few months later…
"Eeessshh! I can't believe today's the day," a certain Kuchiki Rukia grinned in the dressing room with her friends. Surrounding her were all the notable female shinigami in Soul Society, and Orihime Inoue and Tatsuki Arisawa.
The girls laughed.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine," Inoue hugged her. Matsumoto was already holding a bottle of sake, saying they each had to have at least one cup before she walked down the aisle as it was "a time of celebration".
A knock was heard on the door.
"Rukia? Are you in there?"
Nemu blushed, "Rukia…we should go. Your brother wants to speak to you."
"You're just saying that cause you don't wanna see him because you'll start stuttering again!" Matsumoto declared, before marching the laughing girls out.
Byakuya walked in and immediately noticed how nervous she looked.
"Rukia…you'll do fine," and he gave her a hug, "are you ready to walk down the aisle yet? I'm ready when you are."
"Yeah, I guess so. Here goes nothing," smiling, she looked up her brother.
He gave her the rare smile back, before having her take his arm.

"What if she says no?"
"Geez, you're a fucking idiot. You've been asking that question for the past 2 hours," Renji complained.
Ichigo shook his head, looking at Shuuhei for help.
"Get over it man. You two are..um…madly in love, right? That should be enough," Hitsugaya commented.
Looking up suddenly, he saw Rukia and her brother walking down. She was wearing a white dress that slightly looked like a kimono, although it had long, flowing sleeves and a wide hem.
Ichigo's jaw dropped. Ishida smirked, pushing his jaw back up.
"You better thank me, I was the one who designed and made the dress."
"Will do," Ichigo grinned, "as long as I can get her out of it later," he added, trying to hold in his laughter.
The men all chuckled as the wedding ceremony proceeded.
Rukia stepped beside Ichigo, letting go of her brother's arm. They smiled at each other, held each other's hand.
…
"I do."
