It was such a lovely, warm, bright and cheerful day for a wedding. The sun was gently hugging the earth in a warm embrace while birds flirted high above in whisp like clouds. On the lush green of the earth a large garden of numerous flowers danced in a kissing breeze and quaint white church sat in the midst of this Eden like garden.
A timid deer had found a mid morning snack amongst the flowers and a curious squirrel made his way to the front door. His nose had barely touched the white of the doors when they were violently flung open. The squirrel had no time to react before two muscle bound mercenaries leapt out at him with machine guns.
"What's the matter little fella? Is ya lost." asked one of the men in a gruff tone as he lowered his gun.
While the deer's doe eyes had nearly popped from her head. The terrified squirrel wasted no time as he quickly leapt upon her back. In a blink of an eye the deer had bolted out of the garden with the tiny squirrel as a jockey on her back. Both men merely shrugged not understanding why the creatures had been so frightened.
"Is there some type of problem?" the sweet chiming voice of Ayame asked from behind the armed guards.
"No sir, just a squirrel looking for some nuts." One of the brawny men replied turning to face his employer.
"Well he certainly came to right place."
Mine said grabbing hold of her husband to be's arm dragging him to the back of the church to get ready.
"I get a little security and maybe even the metal detector, but the strip body cavity searches seem a bit much."
"I just want to have a nice peaceful wedding without any outbursts from my family." Ayame whimpered.
Hatori was staring into the mirror at his outlandish outfit when Mine tossed Ayame into the room. Clearing his throat Hatori thought that maybe now would be good time discuss Ayame's actions recently.
Hatori clicked his tongue.
"Ayame, I know that you have been under a little stress do to the wedding, but having Momiji kidnapped, tied up and gagged in front of his new girlfriend seems wrong to me."
"Phish, she was fine after that sedative shot you gave her. Besides, he was being rather selfish wanting to only spend time with her and casting aside all the things that he needed to do for my wedding." Ayame said curling his hair.
Hatori cocked a brow.
"You hired men to hunt down Haru, Tohru, Kyo and Rin? Then once they were captured you caged the boys like wild animals and forced them at gun point to sign a contract stating that if they caused any kind of disturbance at the wedding you would have me cut off their penis."
Ayame turned to look at Hatori with big pouting eyes.
"What else could I do? Haru and Tohru had informed me that they did not think it would be a good idea if they came. Then Kyo and Rin had called a short time later also saying they weren't coming. Half my wedding party was going to be mia. Not to mention all the time and effort I put into this wedding and they thought they could escape." Ayame said in an evil hellfire voice.
Hatori sighed running his fingers through his hair knowing he could not reason with Ayame at that moment.
"I am taking a long vacation after your wedding. I …I think that I will need it after today."
Yuki took a deep breath as he opened the door that led to the basement. He wasn't sure how he was going to end this feud with Kyo and Haru, but for the sake his sanity he was going to try. Yuki found it strange that such a nice peaceful looking church would have a basement that resembled a medieval torture chamber, but who was he to question. In fact it was so large that it took some time for Yuki to locate the two cages that held Haru and Kyo.
There they were; the pain the asses that had caused all his problems. He could tell by the death glares that they kept sending each that nothing had been resolved. Yuki was pretty sure that neither of the hard headed idiots had even tried to talk about the problem. They had never changed since childhood.
"Hey; I was told to get you two into your outfits or …snip, snip." Yuki said with scissors in hand.
Haru jumped to his feet. "Is Tohru okay? Man she must be worried out of her mind,"
"Well she was, but I reassured her that you two were being well taken care of." Yuki said recalling how she had refused to eat or drink. She would only cry and beg for Haru swearing it was all her fault and she should be banished. Yuki finally lied about how the family had a special place for members to work out their problems.
Yuki looked over to Kyo's cage. "Well, cat got your tongue or don't you want to know about Tohru also?"
Kyo's eyes were locked onto the ground. "Tohru has many people who will look after her. That was why I never worried about her when I took off, but …I am…ah…Is Rin in trouble like us or she free. I don't think she could take life in a cage. Not like I care or anything…I mean…Whatever."
Yuki and Haru both looked at each unsure of what to think of that statement.
"Rin is fine. Tohru had asked that they not punish her since she sees this all as her fault." Yuki replied.
"Man, I knew that she was going to start blaming herself. Yuki, you have to get me out here." Haru pleaded.
"You better get use to that man. Tohru blames herself all the way from the war in the Middle East to a fly stuck in a spider web. You are going to be constantly chasing after that girl and with your directional skills it may be a problem or maybe even fatal." Kyo smirked getting a frown Haru.
"Are you saying that approve of their relationship?" Yuki asked crossing his fingers mentally.
Kyo raised his eyes to meet a slightly shocked Haru.
"I don't approve or disapprove. She was a safe place for me to be when I felt like the world wanted to destroy me, but once everything was over I realized she didn't really need me. So, I left to find a place where I was needed."
"Shit, no way. Are you talking about Rin?" Haru chimed in not really believing his own words.
Kyo didn't answer.
"You think I am going to have a hard time. I can't wait to sit back and watch the hell she puts you through."
Haru laughed as Kyo rubbed the bridge of his nose knowing full well that Haru was right.
Yuki laughed to himself as he walked over to open the cages.
"Oh one more things; It seems that Ayame liked the way the sterling silver hand and ankle cuffs looked so now everyone in the wedding is forced to wear them. He thinks that it best represents being lovingly shackled for life."
A/N: Yeah, yeah I know that I have been missing in action…sorry. I also know that I didn't put a lemon in this chapter. I guess I could rewrite it and have a little three way with the boys in the dungeon below the church. Hmmm, for some reason I think that would cause a lot more complications in the story and throw it into a whole new genre.
Next chapter the wedding and all the other characters. WOOHOO
