It was a beautiful spring day. The sun was shining and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Their petals drifted to the ground like snow and the dotted the grass with tiny pink rough heart shapes. It was a perfect day for a wedding, except…

"Is Byakuya here yet?" Rukia asked softly with worry as Renji approached.

"No, I knocked on the door and he said that he's still busy." The read-head vice-captain replied aloud, scratching the back of his head.

"You mean to say that he's not here yet?!" Tsuki shouted, opening the door and popping her head out.

The door they were standing in front of also happened to be the room the bride-to-be was getting ready in. Half of her face was made up and her hair was done in a half updo*. Threaded in her hair were various flowers like white lilies, white roses, cherry blossoms, and Chinese bellflowers. She was currently in a white robe so as to not get her special wedding kimono dirty.

"Tsuki-chan, come back in so I can finish putting on your make-up!" Matsumoto's voice resounded from inside.

Tsuki looked back into the room before facing Renji with a pleading look in her eyes. "Could you please go back and get him before it's too late?" she asked.

She then withdrew back into the room and shut the door. Renji stood there for a moment, and Rukia had to usher him away so he could go back to the office to get the groom. Rukia then entered the room after Tsuki. When she entered, she saw that Matsumoto had already started on Tsuki's make-up again and the bride herself was fidgeting a little in her chair.

"What's wrong, Tsuki-chan?" Rukia asked with concern. "Are you nervous about your wedding? If so, there's no need to be."

"Well I am a little nervous, but I'm more worried about Byakuya." The bride to be answered, worry apparent on her face. "I think he might be a little nervous too. You know, he can be such a silly man sometimes. Not too long ago he apologized for the way he treated me in the years when I worked under him. I said that I forgave him, but he's such a silly man to think that I never did until now…"

"I've never seen that man show any emotion at all, let alone nervousness." Matsumoto commented as she made the finishing touches on Tsuki's make-up. "What makes you think that he's nervous now?"

"Don't forget that I've been with him since he proposed to me, and we even knew each other during our academy days." Tsuki stated in reply knowingly. "We've been getting to know each other better and better. I should know when he's feeling a certain emotion, whether you can see it or not."

"You sound like you're already married to him!" the vice-captain of tenth division said with surprise.

"I guess you could say that." The bride stated with a smile. "We have talked a lot over the past few years. Enough for the years we missed when we weren't friends. If he is nervous, I hope he'll come anyway…"

"I just hope that Renji can successfully bring him back in time." Rukia stated with her arms crossed.

Meanwhile in Byakuya's office, the captain paced back and forth in front of his desk restlessly. He kept asking himself, 'Why am I here when I need to be waiting for Tsuki at the end of the isle?' but for some reason he couldn't answer.

He didn't know it, but he eventually worked it out. He was nervous about the upcoming wedding. He had been nervous since Tsuki had planned for the whole thing. He didn't show it like the jealousy he felt for Kioku, but nonetheless it was there. Ever since she planned for it, Tsuki looked forward to their wedding, and he had too. He loved her more than anything, and his love for her had grown over the years they spent getting to know each other again.

Byakuya sighed, gazing at the clock again for the hundredth time. He would be late if he stayed here any longer. Tsuki would forgive him, like she did when he apologized for how he treated her, but she would also be upset.

He couldn't bear to hurt her anymore, so he started to head to the door, just as someone knocked. It was Renji again, probably to try and bring him to the wedding again.

"Captain, you're gonna be late if you stay here any longer." He said before Byakuya opened the door and headed out right past him. "Well that was easier than I thought…" Renji muttered while scratching the back of his head as he watched his captain continue to walk away. He then followed him to the place where the wedding was being held.

"He's finally here and waiting, Tsuki-chan." Rukia informed the bride as she walked back in from checking if Renji had returned. "Are you ready?"

"Yes…" Tsuki answered, coming forward in the most beautiful layered kimono.

It was light blue and white, and the skirts weren't closed all the way, slightly revealing her legs which were covered with white tights. The skirts also had a train that was a foot and a half long and she was holding a bouquet with tons of different flowers in it. There were lilies, Chinese bellflowers, cherry blossoms, white roses, and also light blue ones.

"I did a good job, didn't I?" Matsumoto asked from beside her with a smile.

"She looks just like a doll!" Rukia exclaimed. "So beautiful!"

"Thank you." Tsuki said with a smile as she blushed. "I'm ready now…" And so the three of them walked out, and Tsuki took her first steps into her new life…

*A half updo is pretty much half of your hair up in a sort of ponytail. That's what Tsuki's hair style is.

That's the last chapter everyone! To be honest, I was really going to end it at the previous chapter when I first wrote this, but decided to tie it off with Tsuki's and Byakuya's wedding day. I just thought it would be more special.

Anyway, enough ranting. Thanks to all of you for reading, and thank you to those of you who reviewed, faved, and alerted. It made me happy to read all of your reviews and I hope you keep on reviewing and faving. Please review and tell me how you felt about the ending, or the story as a whole.

Also, thanks to Tite-sensei for making such a great manga series and all the great characters. After all, this all belongs to Tite-sensei (except for Tsuki, Kioku, and Snakehead). Once again, thanks for reading and I hope you look forward to other fanfics that I put on fanfiction in the years to come! Thank you! ;)

Lastly, I have decided that I'm not going to delete the original, mainly because I have wonderful reviews and things from that so I'm going to just leave it there.
