Tenchi Muyo: New Futures
Chapter 6: Wedding day
It was early morning as Ryoko awoke from her nights sleep. "Today is the big day." She muttered rubbing one of her eyes. Looking down to find her bed. "Yeah it is." Ryoko looks up to see Kyo a the foot of the bed doing his martial art routines. "Do you do that every morning?" Kyo nods as he continues as Ryoko watches his work out. The pirate turned GP black operations trainer glances towards the items of clothing hanging from the wall. "I think it was a maid, she told me they are the robes we are to wear to the marrying of "The descendant of Jurai's greatest warrior" and Kiyone." Kyo smiles and shrugs and Ryoko bursts out laughing. "Tenchi is the grandson of this planets greatest warrior." She Added. "So I guess the servant preferred using a title for him rather than his name." Ryoko shrugs with a smile. "Did she say when the service was going to start?" Kyo nods and smiles "In two hours from now someone will come to collect us before hand to get ready." Ryoko nods and looks at her robes. "Well then I guess I'll go shower now since you still doing your work out." Ryoko gets up off the bed and strolls towards the shower. Kyo watches as the space pirate in her under wear enters the wash room as Kyo continues his work out.
Ayeka and Sasami are already in the scared temple. "Well it is the big day you sure you're ready for this Ayeka?" Asked Sasami as Ayeka smiled. "That is a question that has been asked a lot lately. I am ok with this, I am over Tenchi, this is something I must do to show that I wish them the best." Ayeka replied not sure of the exact number of times she has addressed the question. When asked by her knights or by Sasami herself. The two look around the temple as others dash about with their last minute preparations or errands for the ceremony. "Security is ready my Empress." Ayeka turns as the Jurain knight kneels before her. "Yuuto keep the knights as hidden as you can it's a joyous occasion I don't want my friends and the guests worried for their safety. My enemies may attempt an attack." Sasami nods in agreement. "It wouldn't be a good idea to attack when I have the party for after the ceremony." Smiled Sasami. "It didn't take you long to get that sorted out, but was it a good idea for the party?" Asked Ayeka as Sasami nodded. "Of course weddings on Jurai aren't very festive so I thought a party would be in order where they can celebrate like they would at home." She smiled as Ayeka nodded. "It seems everything is in order, I say we get this wedding rolling don't you?" Ayeka smiles at Sasami who nods approvingly and Runs off grabbing a few of the female maids and male servants to follow her.
"She will have a lot of fun with this." Smiled Ayeka as her knights nod in agreement. "Indeed lady Sasami is thrilled and the food herself and the chef's prepared was a delightful taste." Added Yuuto as Ayeka laughed loudly. "Yes she has indeed and the chefs and catering staff are all versed in her cooking talents." Smiled Ayeka as Yuuto nodded. "I am sure it will be a memorable occasion." He replied as they looked out over the vast temple.
Meanwhile Tenchi and Kiyone are sitting in their room when they hear a knock on their door. "I will get it." Replied Tenchi as he opened the door to find a male and female servant at the door. "Excuse me Lord and Lady but we have been sent to take you to get ready." Tenchi nods and looks back as Kiyone's head pokes out form another door way. "Kiyone they are here to help us get ready." Tenchi smiles as Kiyone emerges with her eye widen and her mouth agape. "Already?" Tenchi nods and she runs over and kisses him. "I love you Tenchi." He smiles and kisses his soon to be wife back. "I love you too Kiyone." The servants both smile and stand aside as Kiyone and Tenchi step out of their room. "See you in the Temple my love." Kiyone kisses Tenchi again before pulling away as the servant lead her down the corridor. Tenchi smiles as his love leaves with the servant, turning to his own servant Tenchi takes on last look behind him before he too walks off.
Around thirty minutes have passed and Tenchi is in his dressing room with the servants dressing him, Tenchi would prefer to dress himself of course but due to the sheer amount of layers these wedding robes have, he wouldn't be able to make them sit right. Looking around the room, Tenchi's thoughts once again take him back to the very first time he had met Kiyone and the others and how his life changed in the years that followed, now in moments he will be married to one of those very same people. He smiles brightly as the servant bowed before him. "You are now ready." Tenchi nods and he gets excited knowing the ceremony will start soon and doesn't help but wonder how excited Kiyone is right now and how beautiful she looks in her wedding robes Tenchi smiles his big day has finally arrived.
Kiyone glances into the mirror as she does a small twirl in her ceremonial barely being able to contain her excitement much to the maids own amusement. "The ceremony will begin shortly milady. We will take you when it is time." The maid bowed and Kiyone nodded. "Thank you, have to say I never thought a day like this would come for me. Worked hard all the time never had much for anything else. Lost my partner them finding her I met my very soon to be husband." Kiyone smiled at that, its one thing Mihoshi had actually helped with though it was never actually planned she still felt good about it. Kiyone watched the maids shuffle around doing whatever their remaining tasks while Kiyone waited.
In the old Temple many people had gathered, Kyo was looking around trying to see if he could spot any aliens that resembled many of the movies he watched and books he read as a child. Kyo was decked out in robes just like rest of the males out of Tenchi's friends which were black as the woman wore white similar to the brides but not as fancy. "I guess the earthling view of aliens other than the martians is flawed some what." Kyo turned to face Ryoko was clearly laughing at his statement. "Yeah but most of the people who are here are from the galaxy Police where myself, Kiyone and Mihoshi work. Tenchi is the grand son of the greatest warrior to grace Jurai, so most of the others are here to see their empress wed the descendant of their legend to his bride. The reason the Empress is doing it, is because me and her used to fight over Tenchi all the time." Ryoko glances up at Ayeka who is addressing the crowd giving out the details and accomplishments of the two who are due to bed wed. "This is her way of finally being able to let him go." Smiled Ryoko as she held Kyo's hand as they both looked up at Ayeka.
"I am now pleased to give you the groom of this joyous occasion. Everyone turned to doorway leading into the temple as Tenchi came into view, to claps and cheers. Kamidake stood to Tenchi's left and Azaka to his right as the three strode down the temple to where Ayeka stood raised above the many people that gathered to see it. As Tenchi ascended the stairs to stand beside Ayeka, he has spotted all his friends except Washu whom he couldn't see which saddened him slightly. Ayeka once again gives the crowd a few more details on Tenchi even telling them of the time how he had saved her from Kagato when he was impersonating Yosho.
The audience turns to the temple doorway as Kiyone arrives, Tenchi smiles as music fills the temple as Kiyone begins to make her way down the walkway with Washu beside her. Tenchi smiles as the two reach him with in minutes Washu smiles and steps back as Tenchi holds out his hand as Kiyone places her own in his both of them turn to Kiyone as she addresses the crowd for quiet. Tenchi looks into Kiyone's eyes as they face each other, Ayeka smiles at them both. "We are here today congratulate and bond these two lovely people with the vows of marriage and harmony. The love and affection that these two people share for another has led to this occasion today. Turning to Tenchi, Ayeka grasped his hand and begins to declare the vows a male would take on Jurai if he was wedding a fellow Jurain
"They look so lovely up there." Sniffled Mihoshi. "Yes indeed they do." Smiled Marianne happily as she squeezed Benji's hand . They continue to listen to Ayeka talking as Tenchi repeats what Ayeka says before turning to Kiyone and kneeling before his wife, announcing that he will carry the vows to end of his life. Ayeka then takes Kiyone's hands and has her repeat the vows that a wife of Jurai would follow when being wed to a Jurain man. "Kyo are you crying?" Whispered Ryoko as Kyo nodded. "Yeah I am when it comes to these events I get like this." Smiled Kyo as he wiped the tears from his eyes. "You are as bad as Mihoshi but much more adorable." Smiled Ryoko with a smile as Ayeka announced what ever one wanted to hear.
"I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss the bride." Both Kiyone and Tenchi smile and the two embrace and kiss. The crown erupts into cheer and applause as Ayeka takes their hands and leads the new husband and wife down the steps and along the walkway as they exit the temple.
"Look at them two go." Smiled Washu as she strode beside her friends as they began following the love birds out into the streets outside the temple, the sun beamed down on the faces of Tenchi friends watching them climb into a Royal ship as it lifted off and left.
