The Suicidal And The Sacrificial

Epilogue 2: Rukia's Wedding Day

Kuchiki's Manor

Ichigo and the rest of his gang marveled at the sight of the manor being decorated for the long waited wedding of the two vice-captains. "Can someone tell me about that?", Ichigo's sweat dropped seeing Sumire holding a leash. "I guess they're trying to make some ruckus to a minimal level", Chad answered. "How about Ishida? Is he really not coming?", Orihime asked with a worried tone. "He's got his own way of dealing with matters? Don't worry", Ichigo eased the lady and they marched towards the garden.

"I say, Captain Kuchiki really stands for his name", Isane admired the intricacy of the surroundings. White clothe are drapped all around with some touch of scarlet accent. "Isane, don't you pity your Captain. My repulation is being stomped on", Nozomi cried while trying to reach out to her vice-captain. "What reputation? You don't have any to begin with so there's nothing to be worried of", Sumire grabbed on the rope and brought the white head lower so she can look down on her. "Hmmm? You're just upset that quincy boy didn't join you this time. I bet he voluntarily stayed because someone needs to take care of Karakura town while the other heroes are headed to a party", Nozomi humphed. "If you want to see Rukia-san's wedding with your head still attached to your body, you better keep that mouth shut", Sumire threatened. "Scary!!! You're not even giving me a room to doubt what you just said!!!", Nozomi tried to get away from Sumire.

"To everyone, welcome to Kuchiki Rukia and Abarai Renji's wedding".

The crowd clapped their hands and stood in awe of the beautiful bride marching towards the main stage under the huge cherry blossom tree. Sumire was a bit surprised that Nozomi just watched in silence. "She must have looked that delicate and beautiful when he married her as well", Nozomi's shoulder became less stiff and she sat down a nearby rock. "You finally decide to settle down", the raven head whom Byakuya assigned to monitor on her sighed. "Who are you referring to?", Sumire raised her brow. "Lady Hisana?", Isane butted in. Nozomi panicked and covered Isane's mouth. "Hisana-san? Captain Byakuya's former wife. Hmmm. I guess I have something else to crush your soul into pieces", the raven head gave a sinister smile.

Everyone was glad for the beautiful event. "Your brother, Captain Kuchiki prepared a presentation for you", Kiyone clapped her hand. Byakuya stood beside the cherry blossom and released his sword. "We should also do our task as division 2", Omoeda looked at Soifon who nodded. They released a large amount of colorful butterflies. "We won't let them outshine us, Captain", Rangiku winked. Toshiro created flower carved ice on top of the buildings.

"It'll cost a lot to have a wedding like this is in the human world", Sumire commented while still holding on the leash. She pulled it and felt the lightness. "Isane-san!", Sumire grabbed on the tall woman's shoulder. "That airhead disappeared", Sumire felt the sweat forming on her forehead. "I think we're all just over reacting. It's not like she's going to release her bankai or something like that", Isane had a nervous chuckle.

"Let me do mine as well. You're all showing off your bankai", Nozomi was able to get into the tallest building in the manor. The vice captain did their outmost attempt to stop the lady. "Bakudo", all of them released a spell. She was able to evade all of them. "Why are you all worked up with? ", Nozomi drew her sword. "Captain Soifon didn't use her Bankai!!!", Omoeda clarified. "Who cares?! You're all getting the attention", the white head threw a tantrum. "Do you want to spend the whole year holed in your barracks?", Nanao threatened. "Come to think of it. I haven't yet used my Bankai even once. I don't even know if I could", Nozomi tilted her head. "Here we go", Nozomi lifted her sword.

"Ichigo!"

"Kurosaki"

"Ban-", Nozomi's sword went flying as Ichigo uses his bankai to hit the sword. "Oi~ strawberry boy. Who said you can mess up with my presentation?!", Nozomi raised her hand prepared to release a hadou but vice-captains succeeded to seal her hands. "Why do you keep on interfering?!", Nozomi scolded them. "If you release you bankai, we'll just be drenched with blood", Kira whined. "It's not beautiful at all", Rangiku doesn't want her beloved kimono to be tainted. "You think this is the end", Nozomi had a sly smile. A button appeared in her hand. "Then, you shall witness by pet. I can allow you to adopt it for a while, Rukia-chan and monkey", the white head winked. Nothing happened allowing the lady to receive disappointed and disgusted stares. "Areh~ I think I got the wrong one. Tehehhe", Nozomi laughed.
