"I think that does it!" Rangiku smiled down at Linake warmly.

Linake moved her head, turning to meet the squad 10 lieutenant's light blue gaze; it hadn't taken the woman very long to apply her make-up and even Linake thought her hair would be more time consuming, but it seemed Rangiku had decided to keep things simple for Linake.

"Thank you, Rangiku." Linake stated before she stood from the chair and turned to face the other women in the room.

"Oh my! You look lovely!" Isane complimented her.

Linake smiled; not knowing if the captain of squad 4 was just trying to be nice or not.

"Thanks..." Linake answered before walking across the room to a full length mirror that hung on the wall. Linake's breath hitched in her chest for the 2nd time that morning-how the hell did she pull this off!?

Linake's lips parted as she looked at her own reflection; Rangiku had applied light neutral toned eye-shadow to her lids, a light coating of mascara and a little blush, along with some pale pink lip-gloss to seal the deal. All in all, Linake looked pretty natural and she was thankful. Linake knew Kenpachi wouldn't want to see her with heavy make-up on.

"Do you like it?" Rangiku asked as she stepped to Linake's side, lifting her hand and adjusting Linake's bangs so they framed her face. Rangiku had braided Linake's hair first, then somehow had manged to form a rather elegant looking bun on the back of her head; Linake had opted not to buy a veil, knowing it would just annoy Kenpachi when he had to lift it in order to kiss her.

"It's perfect, Rangiku, thank you!" Linake replied.

"You do look very pretty!" Orihime smiled behind her, Linake caught the woman's reflection in the mirror and turned around, seeing that all of the women in the room were now wearing full traditional kimono's in different shades of purple. Linake scanned the room for Amaya, but didn't see her with the group.

"Where is Amaya?" Linake asked the room.

"I'm right here; don't worry so much, I'm not going to break!" Amaya countered as she stepped out from the small bathroom.

Linake turned to face her best friend and paused instantly as she got a good look at her. Amaya had changed into a royal purple Kimono, her hair was also clipped up into a bun and she too had put on some make-up for the occasion.

" Between the two of you, I'm feeling a little jealous!" Rangiku pouted; making both Amaya and Linake laugh.

"Are you ready for this?" Rukia asked from the other side of the room.

Linake turned once more, facing the squad 13 captain as she held up the white bustier Orihime had talked her into getting. Linake pulled her bottom lip between her teeth as she crossed the room over to Rukia. Rangiku followed, taking a peek inside the shopping bag that sat on a nearby table. Linake reached her hand down pulling the tie to the white robe she had been wearing and allowed it to drop to the floor.

"My goodness! I guess it's safe to say you're not shy, Linake..." Orihime giggled as her cheeks turned a little pink.

Linake smiled over at Orihime as Rukia walked behind Linake, and bent down so Linake could step into the lingerie.

"Does it lace or have another way of closing?" Isane asked.

Rukia looked up at the squad 4 captain, her brow rising.

"It laces." Rukia answered, thinking her question was kind of odd.

"Make sure not to tie it to snugly, the baby will need some room." Isane instructed.

" Oh, yeah...I almost forgot..." Rukia replied before she stood back up, lifting the bustier over Linake's hips and placing it over the woman's bust.

"Let me know if I pull to tight..." Rukia stated before she went to work, pulling the white ribbons on the back of the lingerie in order to give Linake enough lift.

Linake placed her right palm against her stomach, feeling it flutter with excitement as Rukia pulled a little tighter, lifting Linake's breasts and cinching in her waist slightly.

" If you wern't already pregnant, I would say you were about to be..." Rangiku teased Linake as she swung Linake's white lace panties around her finger and gave her a wink.

Linake couldn't help but laugh at the flirtatious woman, her sense of humor brightening Linake's mood even more.

"Here, I'll help you, you know I don't mind..." Rangiku offered as she bent down and helped Linake step into the overly priced panties. Nothing but a scrap of lace, but they had cost Linake almost fifty bucks at the dress shop-fifty bucks says these panties won't make it through the night in once piece!

Rangiku pulled the white lace up Linake's legs, stopping at her hips, allowing Linake to take over herself. Rangiku leaned back, staying on her knees, she smiled up at Linake.

"Here, while your down there, might as well help her with these..." Amaya stated as she held out a pair of white stockings to Rangiku.

"I can't believe I let you guys talk me into buying all of this..." Linake half-laughed as she lifted her left leg, allowing Rangiku to help her by securing the white thigh high. Linake felt the band of white lace close over her thigh and it sent a shiver of anticipation through her-I hope he likes all of this...

" Oh please, You only get married once, might as well make the most of it!" Rukia countered as she stood at Linake's side.

"Just think of how Captain Zaraki will enjoy it...I am sure he will..." Rangiku smiled at her as she secured the second thigh high to Linake's right leg.

"In fact, I doubt much of it will even come off..." Rangiku continued, making many of the women in the room blush at her forward comments regarding Kenpachi.

Linake grinned, knowing very well that Rangiku was probably going to be right.

"Time for the best part!" Orihime sighed as she clutched her hands to her chest.

Isane walked over to the stand, pulling Linake's wedding gown from it gently. Linake felt her stomach flutter as Isane walked the dress over to her. Rukia placed her hand on Linake's forearm, helping her balance as Rangiku took over, and held the dress open for Linake to step into. Linake allowed her eyes to close as she felt the light lavander silk caress her skin as Rangiku stood up from her knees.

Linake reached out, allowing her eyes to open as she pushed her arms through the small delicate lace sleeves. Amaya walked forward, helping Linake place them just off her shoulder.

"Moment of truth..." Linake whispered as she felt Rukia reach for the small zipper.

"What do you mean?" Rukia asked as she zipped the dress up effortlessly.

Linake let out a sigh of relief, allowing her stomach to relax naturally, she had been sucking it in, thinking the dress wasn't gong to fit!

"I thought Takeo may have grown since I tried this on..." Linake explained.

"Takeo? Is that what you decided to name him?" Rukia asked.

"Yeah...Kenpachi picked it out..." Linake answered.

" I'm sure it will suit him." Rukia smiled.

"Don't forget the shoes!" Orihime called out excitedly as if she were living through Linake.

Linake let out a groan, remembering the stupid heels Orihime had convinced her to buy.

"I'll put those on when it's time to go." Linake replied, not wanting to stand in them for any longer than she had to, Linake had never been the type of woman who liked wearing high heels to begin with.

"That's probably a good idea..." Amaya half-laughed.

"I have to say, you look absolutely stunning, Linake!" Isane complimented; making Linake grin like a moron.

"Thank you!" Linake forced herself to answer as she laughed nervously.

"Uh oh, I think someone's starting to get a little nervous!" Orihime teased her just as the women heard a knock at the door.

"Yes?" Rukia called out.

"Are you decent?" Yumichika asked from behind the pocket door, not wanting to invade the women's privacy.

"Yes, you may come in." Rukia answered.

Yumichika pulled the pocket door open and stepped into the room.

"I am happy to hear that you all seem to be staying on schedule, I-" Yumichika's words broke off mid-sentience as his gaze locked on Linake.

Linake smiled over at her 3rd seat, feeling a little worried as she watched the man's jaw fall, his violet eyes widening as he raised his right hand to his chest.

"Wow, that's a first, I never thought I'd see the day Yumichika was left speechless..." Rangiku teased, making the other women in the room laugh.

Linake walked forward, keeping her gaze on Yumichika's, already she could see the tears welling up in the man's eyes.

"Yumi..." Linake whispered as she closed the gap between them and reached out for his hands.

Yumichika forced himself to take a deep breath, pushing his emotions aside.

" I knew you would look beautiful!" Yumichika whispered.

"It's as I said; you are a vision, Linake Zaraki."

Linake's head jerked, her deep blue eyes widening as she heard what sounded like Byakuya giving her a compliment- what in holy hell was going on around here!?

"Th...Thank you, Captain Kuchiki!" Linake whispered as she watched the man step into the room and approach her.

Yumichika pulled his hands away from Linake, allowing her to turn and face the squad 6 captain. Linake half expected the man's gaze to lower, taking in more of the dress, but instead his steel gaze met hers.

" I believe you needed something borrowed, something old, and something blue..." Byakuya stated as he lifted his right hand to the left side of Linake's head.

Linake's jaw fell as she found herself in such close proximity to a man who would normally go to extreme lengths to distance people from him. Linake's gaze furrowed as she heard Rukia's gasp from across the room.

"Brother..." Rukia whispered.

Byakuya stepped back, allowing his gaze to move to his sister briefly before once again meeting Linake's gaze.

"I trust that it will be in safe keeping with you; that hair comb once beonged to my mother." Byakuya stated.

Linake let out a choking sound from the back of her throat, her hand shot up to the side of her head as she shook it at him.

"I...I couldn't possibly, Captain Kuchiki! W...why would you entrust me with something this important!?" Linake countered.

Byakuya narrowed his gaze at Linake, lifting his hand he stilled the woman form pulling the silver comb, shaped like a butterfly with sapphire stones from her dark auburn hair.

Linake paused as she felt the squad 6 captain's touch and even though she wasn't trying to be rude she found herself gawking at the man. Byakuya leaned his frame forward, speaking lowly so that only Linake would be able to hear him speak.

" I understand your hesitation. You have been a good friend to Rukia and Renji, and the respect you have shown to the Kuckiki clan has not gone unnoticed. Wear this on your day; so that you may have good fortune, Linake."

Linake felt her stomach flip as she heard the man whisper his words of kindness to her; in all the months she had lived within the soul society, not once did she ever expect such a gesture from the Kuchiki clan leader.

" Thank you so much, Captain Kuchiki. I...I will give it back as soon as the ceremony is over!" Linake insisted, not wanting something to happen to the heirloom.

"Very well." Byakuya nodded.

"I think it's time we all head to squad 1." Yumichika announced, bringing the room back on track after what they had all just witnessed.

"Right..." Linake smiled.

"I'll grab your heels, Linake. You can wear your sandals on the way to the squad 1 barracks." Orihime offered.

Linake turned her gaze, meeting Orihime's.

"Thank you." Linake replied.

" Oh...You should hold the back of your dress! You wouldn't want to get it dirty!" Isane called out before bending down and gathering the excess yards of fabric in her hands and gently placing it in Linake's hands.

"Thank you, Isane." Linake smiled before turning and stepping out of the room-In a matter of minutes, I'll be meeting Kenpachi at the end of the altar!

As the room cleared out of the smiling women, Byakuya turned his attention to the one who still lingered-Amaya. Byakuya's brow furrowed as he noticed the way the woman was looking over at him, her soft brown eyes filled what looked like sympathetic tears-Of course, she can read my thoughts and with that I am sure comes many emotions...

"You don't have to say anything, Captain Kuchiki." Amaya stated, already knowing the man was going to ask about her well being again.

"Alright..." Byakuya replied before turning his body, intending to exit the room and head to the squad 1 barracks himself, so that he may witness the brutish captain of squad 11 marry the woman who had managed to steal his heart.

Amaya let out a shaky breath as she tried her hardest to pull away from Byakuya Kuchiki's inner thoughts, his memories-it all makes sense now, why he would feel the need to support Linake and Kenpachi. Byakuya knew what it was like to love someone and worst of all, he knew how it felt to lose them. Amaya pushed herself forward, knowing she needed to catch up with the wedding party, she was after all Linake's made of honor.

Amaya shook her head free of the emotions, some of which were not her own, but a strange mixture of her own sympathy and a little of Byakuya's actual emotions-no wonder he didn't care if Linake wore that hair comb; Hisana hadn't been a noble either, yet, he'd married her. Amaya let out a sigh as she made it down the hallway and caught up with Byakuya.

Byakuya turned his head, his steel gaze eyeing the young human woman who walked by his side, he had the strange feeling that the woman wanted to say something to him but was choosing not to pry; while Byakuya didn't enjoy that fact his personal inner thoughts were being overheard, he also knew Amaya was not to blame for her ability.

"I'm sorry, Captain Kuchiki." Amaya whispered; knowing the man was watching her.

"It's nothing for you to be sorry for." Byakuya answered.

Amaya paused just as the two made it to the doorway of Kuchiki Manor and turned to face the noblemen. Byakuya stilled, meeting the woman's gaze head on.

"Please, forgive me!" Amaya whispered; making Byakuya's brow furrow in confusion for a moment.

Byakuya let out a soft grunt as the woman boldly stepped into his personal space and wrapped her small arms around him tightly, pulling him into a hug that she seemed unable to refrain from giving him. Byakuya lifted his right arm; deciding he would allow the woman's invasion of his space just this once.


"Are they here yet?" Kenpachi asked.

"Not yet, Captain." Ikkaku answered from the doorway of the small room the five men were currently waiting in.

Kenpachi let out a sigh, looking up at the clock on the wall; it was fifteen minutes to ten-what the hell was the hold up? Wasn't this shit supposed to start at ten?

" Hold on, Captain, I see Yumichika..." Ikkaku announced.

"About fuckin' time..." Kenpachi growled before he walked forward, feeling a bit like a jackass wearing the dark purple Hakama Yumichika had picked out for him.

Kenpachi walked out into the hallway making his 3rd seat's eyes widen as he raised his arms and waved them frantically.

" Captain! Please go back inside!" Yumichika pleaded loudly.

"The hell you talkin' about?" Kenpachi argued just as Rukia walked around the corner of the hallway and paused.

"Hold on, Linake!" Rukia demanded tossing her arm out as if preventing Linake from walking forward.

"Tch. This is getting ridiculous..." Kenpachi sighed before he turned and headed back into the small room.

"Thank you, Captain..." Yumichika sighed in relief; he never realized how hard it was going to be to keep Kenpachi from seeing Linake before the ceremony!

Yumichika turned on his heel, meeting Rukia's gaze and nodded for the women to continue down the narrow hallway that would take them to another room. Rukia nodded back to Yumichika before allowing her arm to fall and waving Linake forward. Yumichika hurried, reaching for the pocket door of the small room his captain had reentered. Yumichika smiled at the men inside before pushing the door closed on them abruptly.

Linake let out a sigh as Rukia led her down the hallway, Isane and Orihime right behind her; somehow, Amaya had fell behind, which made Linake wonder if something may have been too much for her? Linake walked by the door Yumichika stood in front of and by the way she had been halted, she had a pretty good idea who was inside. Linake felt her stomach flutter with both nervousness and excitement, it was the moment of truth; soon she would see Kenpachi's reaction to how she looked today.

Linake stepped forward into the small room a couple doors down from the one Kenpachi waited in. Her lips lifting into a smile; in a way it was kind of exciting being kept from him all day; it was sure to make their reunion that much sweeter-I can't wait to see him...

"Sorry!" Amaya blurted, bringing Linake's attention to the entrance of the room.

Linake's brow rose as she looked over at her best friend.

"It's alright, I told you before if you needed a break to take one." Linake answered.

Amaya nodded as she walked inside the room and closed the pocket door behind her, an order that Yumichika had given her as she came running up the narrow hallway, almost running right into Ikkaku as he had walked out in front of her; the over emotional moment she had unexpectedly shared with Byakuya still making her feel a bit out of place...

Linake tilted her head as she studied Amaya a bit more closely. Amaya turned her gaze to her, already knowing what Linake was about to ask her.

"I'll tell you later..." Amaya stated; cutting Linake off before she even had the chance to speak.

"Okay." Linake smiled softly.

"It's time for you to put these on." Orihime smiled as she stepped forward and laid down the four inch white heels in front of Linake. Linake scrunched her nose, glaring down at the shoes-I hope I don't make an ass out of myself and end up falling on my face!

Linake lifted her right leg, placing her now bare foot into one of the shoes as Isane held out her arm in order to help Linake keep her balance. Linake accepted the help as she stuffed her left foot into the other shoe, making the woman who was normally a little over five feet, four inches taller.

"I think the heels make it easier, you won't be dragging as much of the dress when you walk." Isane smiled.

"I guess that's a plus..." Linake offered with a smile as the door to the room was pulled open abruptly.

Linake looked over as Yumichika walked inside with Ikkaku right behind him. Linake smiled wide as she got a good look at her lieutenant; he too was wearing a royal purple Hakama, the only difference was that Ikkaku's bottoms were black, unlike Yumichika who was in head to toe purple. Linake carefully stepped forward, intending to make a comment about how sharp Ikkaku looked when she noticed the man's dark gaze widen and his jaw fall open.

"Linake?" Ikkaku whispered.

" Do I really look that different?" Linake asked; a bit of her nervousness showing in her words as she pressed the palm of her right hand against her stomach-If this is the reaction I get from Ikkaku, what is Kenpachi going to say?

" You look amazing..." Ikkaku answered; a wide smile spreading across his lips before he let out a chuckle as he shook his head.

" Ikkaku is going to walk you down the aisle." Yumichika stated.

Linake's eyes lit up and her smile deepened at Yumichika's explanation of why Ikkaku was in the room. Linake crossed the room to him then, kind of impressed with the way she was handling the heels.

"Just a second..." Ikkaku stated making everyone in the room pause as the man reached his hand down into the pocket of his bottoms.

Linake's gaze dropped, her brow furrowing as Ikkaku pulled something from his pocket.

"I had this made for you..." Ikkaku explained as he held up what looked like wide band of small beaded gemstones.

"What is it?" Orihime asked with a smile.

Linake's breath hitched for the third time that morning when Ikkaku met her gaze and instructed her to lift her arm for him. Linake did, lifting her left arm allowing her Lieutenant to slide the band of beads up to her bicep. Once in place Linake slipped her eyes closed after realizing the meaning behind Ikkaku's gesture. The band was made up of amethyst and onyx; the onyx beads were sewn together to create the symbol for their squad.

"For the lady of the 11th division." Ikkaku stated; making Linake open her eyes and meet the man's gaze.

Linake threw her arms out around Ikkaku's shoulders, pulling the man into the tightest hug she had ever given him, all the while forcing herself to hold back annoying tears-I won't cry! I won't cry!

"I love you, Ikkaku!" Linake whispered to him.

"Me too." Ikkaku replied; giving into the urge to hug the woman who had become like a sister to him back.

" It's time, Linake!" Yumichika announced, breaking up the moment between the lieutenant and 4th seat of squad 11.

Linake pulled back from Ikkaku's hug but caught his left hand before he could pull away from her completely.

"Whatever you do; please don't let me fall..." Linake whispered to him.

Ikkaku chuckled as he held out his arm for her, Linake raised her hand to the bend of his elbow, gripping the man for dear life as a wave of nervous energy washed over her, stealing her breath for an instant-I love every one of these men; squad 11 is my family!


"Are you ready, Captain Zaraki?" Shunsui asked, with a smirk.

Kenpachi snorted as he met the man's gaze.

"I was born ready." Kenpachi answered; stealing Linake's line from that morning.

" I'm glad to hear it." Shunsui smiled, standing behind the altar that had been set up in the squad 1 courtyard.

A large white rug had been rolled out, giving Linake a pathway to walk down, purple and white flower petals had been sprinkled out across the area while Kenpachi and Shunsui stood under a white woven arch that was filled from top to bottom with more flowers-courtesy of Iba and his men. Kenpachi let out a sigh as he looked out at the crowd that had gathered around them, it seemed like everyone in the soul society had decided to show up.

Kenpachi could see all of the captain's and lieutenant's sitting at the front, while many lower seated squad members took the chair's behind them, his own squad closer to the front so they could get a better look at their captain.

"Look's like it's about to start..." Shunsui commented; bringing Kenpachi's attention to the white pathway.

Kenpachi smirked when he saw Amaya and Yumichika walking down the Aisle; Kenpachi knew Linake would want the woman to stand next to her for support on her big day. Kenpachi felt his stomach tighten, sending a wave of what felt like excitement through him-I've been countin', Wife...

Amaya smiled and nodded over to Kenpachi as she made her way to the left while Yumichika walked to the right taking a seat in the front row.

"Would you get a look at that; you're one lucky man, Zaraki..." Shunsui grinned; making Kenpachi turn his head back to the pathway.

"Fuck me..." Kenpachi grunted as he felt his chest tighten as if something were sitting on his chest.

Kenpachi's gaze locked onto Linake as soft music began to play, courtesy of Captain Otoribashi. As the music filled the area, everyone in attendance stood and turned to face the end of the aisle, everyone's gaze locking onto Linake. As the gasps and hushed whispers began to fill the area, the only thing Kenpachi could see was Linake. The woman looked so different-is she taller? Kenpachi allowed his gaze to lower, taking in the dress she had picked to wear for him-Fuck, she's beautiful, and she's mine!

Linake's breath caught in her chest, making it hard for her to breath as she took sight of Kenpachi standing at the altar, he hadn't seen her yet, his attention still on Amaya. Linake tightened her hold on Ikkaku's arm, making him turn his head and whisper to her.

" Breathe, Linake. I won't let you fall..."

Linake sucked in a breath as she heard the sound of soft music beginning to play. Linake didn't tear her gaze away from her husband; her lips parted as she allowed her eyes to move, seeing Kenpachi in the dark plum Hakama, his bottoms were also black like Ikkaku's but the color of the top brought out Kenpachi's hair and she was sure it would make his light green eyes look even sexier-Damn, he's fucking handsome!

Linake felt her stomach flip when Kenpachi finally turned his gaze to her and for a moment she wasn't sure what to think as she watched Kenpachi's lips part, his one uncovered eye widening as if in surprise-I guess I do look different...

Linake walked slowly to the tune of the music, keeping her grip tight on Ikkaku's inner elbow. The closer she got to Kenpachi she could see more of his reaction as his features kept changing, his brow furrowing at her for a minute, then his gaze lowering, seeming to be taking in the dress itself. Linake smiled when she saw him tilt his head a little as he looked down at her feet; probably not sure of what to think about the heels Orihime had convinced her to buy.

Linake let out a deep breath as her and Ikkaku finally made it to the end. Kenpachi smirked as his gaze lifted, taking in the sight of her all dressed up. Ikkaku reached his hand out taking Kenpachi's wrist and he allowed it, already knowing what was going to happen. Linake dropped her hand from Ikkaku's elbow allowing him to take her wrist in his other hand. Ikkaku pulled Linake's right hand forward, placing it into Kenpachi's right.

Kenpachi gripped a hold of her, taking Linake by surprise when he pulled her forward and in front of everyone he leaned his head down and kissed her hard on the mouth causing a wave of laughter to fill the area. Shunsui chuckled loudly before he leaned forward.

"Captain Zaraki, were not at that part yet..." Shunsui laughed.

Kenpachi forced himself to pull back from his woman, even though the only thing he wanted was to keep kissing her. Linake smiled up at him, lifting her hand to his lips, she wiped away the lip gloss that had come off on his lips as Shunsui cleared his throat in order to speak.

"You're fuckin' beautiful, Linake." Kenpachi growled down at her just as Shunsui started to address the crowd, introducing the couple.

"Thank you..." Linake replied as she reached out for both of Kenpachi's hands and squeezed them tightly as she stared into his gaze.

" Linake Ohayashi, Do you take this man as your Husband?" Shunsui asked, pulling Linake's attention away from Kenpachi.

Linake turned her gaze to Shunsui and smiled.

"I do." Linake spoke loudly.

Shunsui smiled down at her, giving her a wink before he turned his head and addressed Kenpachi.

"Captain Kenpachi Zaraki of the 11th Divison, Do you take this woman as your Wife?" Shunsui asked.

" I do." Kenpachi stated; not even bothering to look away from her.

" Please step forward." Shunsui instructed.

Linake dropped her left hand from Kenpachi's right as the two of them stepped forward in front of the altar. Kenpachi reached his right hand out, picking up the first ochoko from the table that had been filled with spring water, instead of Sake. Kenpachi sipped from the first, placing it back down on the table, then repeated the process two more times with the remaining two ochoko's.

Linake reached her shaking hand out once Kenpachi finished, taking the first in her hand, she sipped the remaining water from it, then finished off the last two.

"You may now continue with your addition, Captain Zaraki." Shunsui stated, making Linake's brow lift as she turned to face Kenpachi-addition? What did he add?

Kenpachi reached his right hand down into the pocket of his bottoms to his Hakama. Linake gasped when she noticed the small velvet box in his large hand-oh my god, he got me a ring!?

Linake allowed her hand to drop from Kenpachi's, letting him use both hands to flip the small box open. Linake couldn't hold back her tears as they fell down her cheeks, her chest swelling with too much emotion-Kenpachi really got me a ring?

Linake lifted her left hand once Kenpachi pulled the ring from it's case.

"What finger?" Kenpachi spoke lowly, not knowing which one to put it on.

Linake half-laughed before she wiggled her ring finger for him. Kenpachi smiled as she slipped the white gold band over her knuckle. Linake stared down at the ring as her tears continued to fall out of nothing more than sheer happiness. Linake couldn't believe it; Kenpachi had managed to get her favorite gemstone! The ring was everything she ever could have asked for. A three stone princess cut, the middle stone was an emerald, nestled in-between two stones of black onyx, and it fit perfectly!

" I love you, Woman." Kenpachi stated, making Linake lift her head to him, feeling a bit strange not having to crane her neck as much with her heels on.

"I love you more than you could ever know!" Linake replied before lifting her hands to the sides of his face.

"As the Head Captain of the Gotei 13; I now pronounce you, Husband and Wife. Captain Zaraki, you may kiss your bride." Shunsui smiled.

Kenpachi chuckled before he leaned his head down, reaching both of his arms around Linake's waist, he pulled her up off her feet before his mouth crashed down over hers hard, claiming his wife in front of everyone who had shown up to witness it. Linake kissed back as she wrapped her arms around his neck, securing her husband to her, never wanting to let him go.

As the couple's kiss extended, the roar of the crowd exploded around them. Yells and whistles coming from the 11th division and other's alike; it seemed that the rest of the day would be spent in celebration with their friends and comrades. Each squad coming together, truly united, to celebrate the wedding nobody ever expected.
