I don't own free


"It just had to be him?" Rin asks as when he finds Gou on the balcony over looking the dancing guests from the wedding. She has a smile on her face and her eye's are alight with happiness when she turns to him.

"I think it was always meant to be him." Gou confides to her brother. She returns to watching her husband who waves to her with a silly grin on his face. "I love him." Rin doesn't know how it happened, but his little sister is marrying Mikoshiba.

Rin sips his drink and really looks at Gou. Long red hair cascades down her back and Gou has never looked more beautiful then she does now stood in her wedding dress. He can see it in her eye's, she's in love and nothing will get between her and the man she loves.

He puts his glass down and takes her hand. "Come on." He says leading her towards the stairs.

"What are you up to Rin?" She asks when he leads her straight onto the dance floor which has suddenly become empty. Everyone is standing off to the side watching them, their mother is crying but smiles at Gou when she frowns her way.

Slow music starts to pay and at once Gou knows what's happening. "I may not be Dad, but I'd never let you miss out on the most important dance of your life." Rin tells her pulling her close.

Gou smiles at him, her eye's watering slightly. "I love you Rin."

"Yeah, I love you too." The smile that lights up her face is as genuine as the happiness that shows is her red eye's that match his own. When Gou buries her face in his chest, he holds her tighter and forgets that they are surrounded. When the song comes to an end he feels a tap on his shoulder and looks to see Sousuke holding out his hand.

"I'd like a dance with the bride before her husband decides he's done waiting and sweeps her off her feet." Sousuke says when Rin only looks at him.

Rin sighs but does release her in the capable hands of Sousuke who twirls her away. Gou's laugher rings out as she is passed from one man to the next finally she does make it back to Rin.

"This might be the last time we dance together." Gou tells him and Rin knows it to be true.

"Is it wrong that I don't want to give you to him." Rin ask's when he see's Seijuro coming towards them.

"You'll always be my Big brother Rin, even married that won't change." Gou's words make it easier for him to let her go into the awaiting arms of her husband.

"You better take good care of her." Rin tells his ex captain.

Seijuro smiles and pats him on the shoulder as Gou pulls him towards the middle of the dance floor. "Of course I will."

Watching her dance in the arms of the man she loves makes Rin realize that his little sister is all grown up. His eye's follow the pair as they twirl about the dance floor and even when others join them, Rin keeps his eye's on Gou.

"She's beautiful, isn't she?" His mother asks when she comes to stand next to him. Rin grunts never taking his eye's off the happy couple. The last time he'd seen Gou so happy was when she was still a kid and their Dad would throw her in the air and catch her. "Your father would be so proud of the both of you."

Rin smiles when he hears that. He's sure his Dad is proud and so is he.
