Chapter One

Momo and Byakuya

We stand in which cannot be seen. We expect with every fiber in which cannot be explained.

~Kuchiki Rukia~

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I let the love in my body flow out of me as I reopened them and took in the scene.

Flowers. They were everywhere with beautiful green and pink candles settled everywhere. The peers were decorated with white ribbons and bouquets of carnations. Everyone was dressed in their best. Everyone came to see me get married to the love of my life…Byakuya Kuchiki.

My maid of honor, Rangiku Matsumoto, stood beside the priest. Her baby blue dress was simple. It was silk with a purple outlining. Her hair was up into some sort of French braid.

Byakuya, had a black tux, and his hair was simply down. None of those crazy white things that nobles wore in their hair to symbolize they were who they said they were. He was just Byakuya Kuchiki. And I would soon be Mrs. Byakuya Kuchiki.

Byakuya's best man was really a woman. It was his only friend, or closest person to being a friend. Yoruichi. She also wore a tux but she didn't quite fit with the outfit.

I, myself, wore a short white dress with white flowers at the end. The back of the dress dropped to the floor, but not quite touching it. The sleeves were long and the ends dropped. My hair was let down with curls at the ends. I wore a little bit of blush and lipstick.

I was truly the highlight of the entire wedding, as the bride should be.

I finally heard the music play, and my heart began to race faster then I could think. I slowly began walking as though a bride should. I looked into the audience and smiled proudly. Everyone from the soul society was here. Even Ichigo, Chad, Orihime, Uryu, and Urahara. They were all here.

I finally reached the pear and smiled as Toshiro gave me away to Byakuya. He didn't smile, but I could tell he wanted to so bad. I took his hand and he helped me in front of the priest. He began speaking, but I couldn't pay attention. All I could was listen to my own heart sing on this beautiful day.

After the wedding we had a small reception. Everyone was dancing with each other. It was kind of fun, but I just wanted to be near my new husband. But he seemed a little uneasy about something. He stayed toward the back and no where near the people. After dancing with Jushiro Ukitake I decided that I wanted to dance with my husband.

I walked toward him, making sure I didn't bump into anyone. He leaned on a wall, with his eyes closed, as though he was sleeping.

"Byaki-San?" He opened his eyes and glanced at me.

"Yes?" his voice was frail. If it was anyone else talking to him he would have just ignore them, but since it was me he couldn't resist but answer.

"Are you okay?" I hugged him and kept him an embrace. He just stood their emotionless.

"No. The Kuchiki Clan is threatening me. They say that if I don't leave you now, then I won't be part of the clan"

My heart took a spiral and I couldn't control my breathing. Why was he saying something like that? If he wanted to be with me he would turn down his leadership in the clan!

Then again that's rude of me. The Kuchiki Clan was his own pride, other then being a soul reaper that is.

"It's your choice, baby" I kissed his cheek and walked off, hoping I could I hide my tears.

"What ever you choose I'll support you all the way" I said, loud enough for him to hear me.

Just let him choose me….let him love me forever!
