Ranma 1/2, High School DxD, Darkstalkers and the rest are owned by their respective owners. I own nothing.

If only I did.

This is a short chapter.

Chapter 20

Standing in front of the mirror, Ranma twitched as he tried to adjust his tuxedo. "Can't believe that I'm actually going through with a wedding ceremony." Really, why couldn't everyone just be like Bulleta and just declare themselves married? Or just sign some paperwork like Yasaka and he did.

"Then again..." Ranma muttered, knowing that this was a special event, as Serafall, being one of the four Devil Kings, getting married would attract a lot of attention. "The fact that this is being broadcast everywhere..." As far as he knew, no one in Heaven was watching, but that was more due to the fact that it was bad for them to watch much of anything from Hell rather than them not wanting to watch.

"Hey..." Ranma turned to see Lilith peeking her head into the room. "Feeling nervous?" She asked as she walked into the room, revealing that she was wearing a light green dress that hugged her body in all the right ways.

Ranma chuckled softly. "Well, I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't." He rubbed the back of his head. "Even with all the security..."

"Nabiki's been looking, she says that there's no one around that could cause problems." Lilith told him. She walked up to him and adjusted his tie while fixing the flower in his coat pocket. "What's wrong?"

"...I'm worried that I'm not being fair." Ranma told her. "I know that Bulleta said she doesn't want one, but..." He stopped when Lilith put a finger on his lips.

"The fact that she's happy that she can call you her husband has less to do with the fact that she's calling you her husband and more of the fact that YOU are her husband." Lilith smirked at him. "You're the only person in this world who can put up with that sociopath." She put her hands on the side of his head and smiled. "And I don't need a wedding. We've been married since I bonded your soul with mine." She pulled him in for a quick kiss. "I can't say for any of the others though." Lilith chuckled. "I think you're going to need that tuxedo a few more times in the next few years."

Ranma nodded, he knew that. There was a knocking on his door and when it opened, Mittelt walked in, blushing as she saw him. The girl was wearing a pink dress that left her shoulders and arms bare. The dress went down to just above her knees and she was wearing white stockings and flat shoes. Her hair, which was normally two short pigtails, was done up in a bun on the back of her head. "Is it time?"

Mittelt shook her head. "N-no, I just wanted to see you." She fidgeted before walking over to him and hugging him. "Never thought, when we first met, that I'd end up here."

Ranma smiled and hugged her back. "Yeah, who would have thought a birdie showing up in Nerima would lead me to this place in my life?" He chuckled and rubbed her back.

The hug didn't last long and Mittelt let go. "It's been awhile since we've done anything together..." She trailed off, unsure about going further.

"Normally it's in bad taste to talk about this during a wedding," Lilith told her, "but I think Master should give you some attention."

Ranma nodded. "Sure, the next time it's the two of us, we'll go wherever you want to go." He sighed softly as there was another knocking on the door and it opened to reveal Issei, wearing a suit and tie himself. "Well, you're looking good." Ranma chuckled.

"The only reason I'm doing this is because you, for some reason, are one of my best friends." Issei muttered softly. "And, sorry ahead of time, but Rias wants our wedding to be more private, just our immediate families."

"I understand." Ranma nodded to him. "Just so long as I get to be the best man for your wedding to either Asia or Xenovia." Issei nodded. "Rias is waiting until after giving birth for your wedding?"

Issei nodded. "Yeah, she said that she wanted to look her best for the wedding photos."

"Plus her boobs would be even bigger than normal, huh?" Ranma smirked at Issei. "Speaking of which..."

"They are so much fun to rest my head on." Issei said with a grin. "I can't do what I want with them because of all the milk in there, but they feel so..." Issei really couldn't describe it.

"I know what you mean." Ranma told him. "Or did you forget Kuroka's pretty far along as well?"

"And Koneko's been kind of upset that she can't see her sister." Issei told him. "Despite how she gets, she still loves Kuroka, so..."

"She's always welcome to come and visit." Ranma told him. "I'll get you a transportation pamphlet to give to her later, okay? Kuroka spends all day at home since she gets really bad nausea. La Fey's taking care of her all the time."

"Alright, thanks." Issei nodded in agreement as he turned to leave. "Just so you know, you have two minutes."

Ranma took a deep breath and let it out softly. "Alright, I best go out, huh?"

Lilith nodded and she and Mittelt both gave Ranma a hug. "Your parents are already sitting in the front row."

After walking down the aisle, Ranma turned to wait...

...And wait...

...Before the music started to pick up and Serafall walked in.

Ranma stared in surprise. He knew she was beautiful, but seeing her in a white wedding dress that left the upper half of her breasts, chest and shoulders exposed was something else. The dress itself, from the waist down, had layers of ruffles that looked rather breathtaking on her. Her hair wasn't in its usual twin tail style, but rather, a loosely braided twin loops.

He didn't even realize when she got to the altar next to him. "You're staring." Serafall whispered in such a low tone that only he could have heard her.

"Can't help it, you're beautiful." Ranma sent back telepathically. When he felt her confusion, he clarified. "My little sister taught me telepathy recently."

"Dearly beloved..." The priest, who was dressed in non-Christian robes, began. "We are gathered here today..."

Meanwhile...

A man with long, dark hair, a tanned complexion stood on the top of a tree as he watched the wedding take place. 'Found you, Saotome.' His eyes were dark and mischievous, but they held a hint of malice behind them. "You will pay for your insults to me and mine." He was wearing brown pants, brown slippers and a brown vest that showed off his impressive physical body. "But not today, soon." He grinned darkly. "Enjoy the time you have with your new wife, when we make our move, you won't enjoy yourself again." He said before turning into a raven and flying away.
