Chapter 2: The last day before the wedding
The morning sunlight gently hit her eyelids, knowing it was morning already she opened her eyes slowly. Blinking her eyes a few times and saw her white haired fiancé looking at her with a smile. "Finally awake?" he said quietly.
"Mou…" She hid under the bed sheets from embarrassment but the covers soon fell off her head and greeted with a tendering kiss on the lips.
They broke the kiss as Hitsugaya smiled "Are you still shy around me, Momo?"
Hinamori gave a warm hug and pressed her face against his strong chest. Hitsugaya let out a chuckle as he put a blanket around her "…I'll take that as a 'yes' still?" He laid back down, putting an arm under her head so she can use it as a pillow.
"Our last day until we are finally married…" It was already Sunday; Hinamori nodded and let out a giggle "Yep, I wonder what Rangiku-san is going to be plan for the dinner party!" Hitsugaya let out a sigh "…I just hope she isn't going to do anything too crazy."
He had remembered his vice-captain begging him to let her plan the dinner party since they wouldn't have a bachelorette or bachelor party. Hinamori agreed with Matsumoto and he couldn't say no to his fiancé. He just hopes he didn't make the wrong decision for letting her...
"Shiro-chan…?" Hinamori called out but, Hitsugaya laid there with his eyes closed. Hinamori smiled and tried again "Shiro-chan?"
No response; she lifted her head up and smiled "...Toshiro?"
"Yes?" Hitsugaya replied with a small smile. "Mou…hehe" Hinamori giggled knowing he prefers her calling him by his first name. Hinamori let out a yawn "I wonder how many people will be attending the wedding tomorrow…"
Hitsugaya opened his eyes "...I'm sure it just a good amount. Momo, I was meaning to tell you I invited-" he looked down and saw her fast asleep. He let out a chuckle and wrapped his arms around his fiancé "…I'm sure you'll find out soon" he whispered and closed his eyes drifting back to sleep in the warm blankets.
Later in the late afternoon, the two walked together holding hands looking at stores and other sites. Shinigamis would pass by them and congratulate them. They looked as if they had been married for years.
The sun was going down and was almost time for them to go to their party. Hitsugaya looked at the paper his vice-captain drew so poorly, they walked around in circles "God damn it, Matsumoto!"
Hinamori took a look at it and it didn't make any sense as well. Suddenly, they passed by a loud restaurant and heard a familiar laughter coming from inside…
"HAHAHA MORE BEER!" a female voice yelled inside. Hinamori looked at Hitsugaya "That sounds like Rangiku-san…"
"It is her…" Hitsugaya said giving an annoyed expression. He can recognize her voice anywhere, they entered the restaurant and soon there was popping sounds. Confetti dropped everywhere on them and soon realized everyone was already here.
"Congratulations!" everyone yelled and cheered for them loudly.
In shock, they soon realized that Matsumoto gave them weird directions to give them time to prepare for the party. There was a large sign with their names hanging on the wall with a large glittering heart.
"LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" Matsumoto yelled in the mic and turned on some dance music that Ichigo brought from the human world. Close friends and comrades were there eating and laughing.
They had a karaoke machine as well, while some were singing and dancing.
"Wow! This is such a great party Rangiku-san setup for us!" Hinamori smiled, Hitsugaya agreed with her knowing his vice-captain could really throw a party together. He watched his fiancé laughing and couldn't help smile knowing she was having fun.
Suddenly, large wooden barrels were rolling in the party as Matsumoto put her feet on top of one "NOW THE REAL PARTY IS GOING TO GET STARTED!" She yelled in the mic as everyone cheered loudly. Hinamori let out a hesitant laugh looking at the large barrels of beer and sake. Suddenly a few of the barrels shook as half naked men popped out from the barrels.
"MATSUMOTO!" Hitsugaya yelled as he quickly covered Hinamori's eyes tightly. Matsumoto was too drunk and couldn't hear her captain's yelling. Hitsugaya sat there with an annoyed face "This is overkill..."
"This is overkill…" Kas said as he watched the carriages slowly being filled up with the finest and the most expensive gifts in the world. There were silk dresses, jewelry. Cosmetics and more. Kas let a sigh out as he heard someone snickering behind him.
"Kas, you shouldn't sigh so much!" The prince said in a mocking tone.
Kas gave a annoyed expression "Your Highness…Isn't this a little bit…Too much?" Prince shook his head "Not for my Momo, she deserves everything in the world!" he said proudly. Kas noticed something one of the servants was putting into the carriage "What- Hey hold it right there!"
The servant stopped "W-What's wrong sir!?" Kas ran towards the servant and opened the golden box he was carrying. It was a large box filled with golden herb balls, Kas looked at it with an annoying expression "…And all of these gifts weren't enough?! Do you know how rare and expensive these are!?"
Natsume let out a laugh "Hahaha, Kas your face is always so funny when you're angry! Of course, I wouldn't want her to be sick! You can continue packing the goods" he ordered as the servant quickly resumed back to work.
"I still can't believe you got her more even when you gave her a box last time!" Natsume just laughed as Kas stood there trying to calm himself down. He knew the prince was always a cheerful and spirited prince with a good heart.
It was hard to be mad at the prince when he was always smiling and laughing. "Sir?" A servant called out, Kas turned around to see the servant "What is it?"
He bowed "The carriages are all loaded and prepared to leave, Sir." Kas looked over at the carriage and nodded "Well done. Call the coach drivers and tell them we are ready to leave in an hour."
"Yes sir!" the servant vanished, Kas looked and saw the prince was no longer on his side but already in the carriage hanging by the window. "LET'S GET GOING!" Natsume pointed onward.
"Y-YOUR HIGHNESS!" Kas rushed towards the prince trying to make him get off the carriage "Not yet! We still need you to get ready!" Natsume held tightly on the carriage "I'm ready, let go of me Kas! I WANT TO SEE MOMO!"
"NO! NO NO! Not this again! I let you go early before your highness! Not going to let that happen again!" The carriage shook as Kas tried to still get the prince off and Natsume holding on to his dear life. The sky was light orange and tomorrow was the grand wedding.
