Member of Team Zodiac and Blader in the Solidus Tower.

[flaming-cerberus]

Hey, it’s me, Million Mizu.

I got Beyxblr because Lantz kept pestering me, and Lady Omega said it was a good way to stay up to date… or something like that. Anyways, not much more to say I guess…

Oh yeah, I should mention that I have a fiancée, the sunshine in my life, Emika Kurobara @lady-kurobarapriestess . Don’t even think about trying to get between us. You’ve been warned.

My tag’ll be #million speaks 🐕 , I guess. See you around.

(ooc He’s here, it’s Az again @babeshortforbeyblade have fun with him yall)

[whispering-wisteria-wind]

(continuation of the wedding saga; it’s party time!)

*shortly after the presentation of the rings, Yorukaze Kei, a young man dressed in the traditional style of the Shiroboshi School, steps out of the main school building*

Congratulations on your marriage, Lady Emika and Million! I’m happy for you both.

If everyone would like to come inside, we can begin with the afterparty!

*once everyone has gathered inside, they see that the room is decorated with beautiful flowers as well as wind chimes and origami garlands blowing in the breeze. Blader X will be very excited to see that there are 4 of the school’s beystadiums set up inside.* Now…

*Yorukaze sweeps his hand out in front of him to direct the bride and groom to stand by him as he announces the party’s special event*

As part of our celebration, we’ll be having a couples Beybattle tournament! The winners will get the chance to battle against the newlyweds!

Everyone, pair up with your dates! You’ll be battling against other pairs side by side as a team! Let me know once you’ve got your pairs and I’ll write you down in the brackets!

If anyone’s left alone… well, they’ll simply have to find another single Blader to work with…

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

She let out a smile towards Yorukaze. Thank you Yorukaze... This will be an amazing tournament!

She took her bey out from her Uchikake (Her wedding kimono), the bey was in perfect shape as if not been often used. Just like Yorukaze said, You will have the chance of battling against me and Million! Don't let your guards down against us, we will give everything we got! Don't try too hard, make sure to have fun! That's the number one rule in beyblade after all!

You will face Million's Flame Cerberus and My Shrine Soul! Now get your partners and let the event begin!

[flaming-cerberus]

Don’t go thinking that we’ll be an easy match at all! You’re facing a champion and his perfect partner after all! Emika’s got a real gift for Blading, so she’s not some easy target.

Come at us with your best! We won’t lose today!

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

(This short roleplay chain is based on this post!)

────────────────

There was another day of ambushes at the Shiroboshi School. Tenka had warned Emika of one of these.

Today was different however, she saw somebody targeting a few students and defeating them. Emika quickly ran over to protect them, but upon seeing the one who was doing all of the ambushes.

The sign of dusk approached, the bright light of sundown cast over the figure. It was Million Mizu.

Million...? Emika spoke to him, seeing the launcher in his hand. Her eyes couldn't believe what she was seeing, they had shown being baffled.

────────────────

( @flaming-cerberus — started the chain, hope you'll be up for this! )

[flaming-cerberus]

(oh I am so down)

Emika…? What are you doing here? He said- You were supposed to be inside! You… weren’t supposed to see me…

*he’s frozen on the spot. His arms had fallen to the sides and the launcher to the floor, any need for it now long gone as he was faced with his beloved looking at him as if he was a ghost*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika felt conflicted, her jaw dropped and shook with uncertainty.

Million...where were you, Lantz, and Mikazuki..? Me and Tenka were searching for you three for DAYS! Out of the three, only you showed up? Also what do you mean I wasn't supposed to see you, who told you that I would be inside?!

Explain this!

Million could tell Emika's anger was soaring high from seeing him, based on the tone and the rise of her voice, which was rarely done by her.

[flaming-cerberus]

*he cringes back when Emika shouts, realizing how mad she must be. He knows that all he can do is tell her the truth.*

Do you remember when Lady Omega left- no, when she was expelled from the Shiroboshi School? Me, Lantz and Mikazuki… we went with her.

I’m… I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, or warn you. I really am.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

You and even my elder brother.. I can't believe this. You say you're sorry, but Is it truly forgivable?

Her hands clutched into fists, putting tons of pressure due to her rage.

Why? She murmured.

The flow of the wind coming by and blowing the leaves off of the trees around the school, the wind separated the two by going down the middle of the two. Their paths intertwined into one, yet so far from each other.

[flaming-cerberus]

*Million says nothing. He can’t find anything to say. All he knows is that splitting off from her is breaking his heart, and clearly hers too. He still loves her, more than anything, but he’s already decided. He needs to follow through and follow Omega.*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

I expected this from my elder brother, he admired Aunt Omega like an ancient relic. However, You betrayed me. You betrayed me. YOU BETRAYED ME!

Are you leaving me like how Aunt Omega left Tenka?!

Emika's breath and her heart began racing, she released a sob from the mental pain she just felt. She was going to be out of her control. Her eyes began to get red and puffy. This was so unusual of her, Million definitely broke her heart.

[flaming-cerberus]

Emika, no! Please calm down! You’re gonna- kgh!

*he can see that words won’t reach her right now. Hearing her breathing, he begins to worry for her and ends up making a decision that tears his heart in two to think about, to risk hurting Emika, but he doesn’t see another way to get her to calm down. Apologizing to her in his mind, he leaps forward and tackles her to the ground, covering her mouth with his hand.*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

She was taken aback by his sudden action, the two of them landed on the dirt ground, stains all over her pure white and red attire. Get— OFF OF ME— TRAITOR—!

Emika was kicking Million to get him off of her. Her eyes were blood shot and red. LET GO OF ME— She struggled to keep still.

[flaming-cerberus]

CALM DOWN! You’ve gotta control your breathing! You’re hyperventilating, you’re gonna hurt yourself! Please, just calm yourself!

*he holds her there, but not tightly. His eyes are soft and clearly show that he doesn’t want to hurt her*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika looked at Million, seeing his soft eyes and feeling his gentle touch. It was weird to see his eyes so soft, she gave those same eyes in return realizing he wasn't going to hurt her.

She had completely stopped struggling. The air from her mouth was making Million's hand very warm. Her breath began to steady too.

[flaming-cerberus]

There you go, you’re okay-

*suddenly, he ducks down, pushing Emika down so they’re hidden by the bushes. He puts his finger to his mouth to signal Emika to stay quiet, then peeks over the bushes to see whose rustling footsteps he had heard.*

Tenka! Dammit-

*as soon as she looked away, he tugged Emika up to standing and hid with her behind a tree*

Stay still.

( @white-stxr sorry for tag!)

[shiroboshi-style]

She came running out and looked exhausted, her breath trying to catch air and sweat dripped.

Emika! Cousin Emika, Where are you?! I swore I heard you!

Tenka yelled as she glanced in the direction, but couldn't see anything from beyond the darkness.

Where are you...? She turned and began walking away.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika was quiet, feeling Million's hands pull her closer, feeling her head placed upon his chest. She also watched Tenka leave. She looked up at Million, seeing his face as he turned towards her.

Why...why did you betray us? She said in a whisper

( @flaming-cerberus )

[flaming-cerberus]

…I had to choose. Between staying here with you, or following Lady Omega. I had to choose one path.

Lantz and Mikazuki are going this way too. I don’t think anyone could change that now. We’ve taken the first steps, and we can’t go back now.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Why Aunt Omega? Was it because Mikazuki and Lantz went that way too? Leaving me behind because my brother and Lantz chose that path?

It was unbearable, Emika was asking so many questions Million most likely couldn't have an answer to. She was grabbing onto his shirt and tugging at it as a way of her still soft anger.

[flaming-cerberus]

*million passes his hand through her hair slowly, trying to calm her down. Shame washes over him when she asks*

…I can’t give you an answer. I’m sorry.

It’s not anyone’s fault. Not Mikazuki’s, not Lantz’s, and certainly not yours. It’s my choice, and my choice alone.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika flinched when his hand passed through her hair, she turned her head back and away.

You...you hurt my soul, Million. You really hurt it. I get it was your choice but...

She even wanted him to let go of her, but something was bringing her back to him. She struggled with him before, but at this rate she didn't even want to. Perhaps it was how deeply in love they were.

[flaming-cerberus]

… I know. I’m sorry… I’m just sorry.

*he feels a pain shoot through his heart because she pulled away from him. He never wanted to hurt her this way. She wasn’t supposed to know. Not like this.*

…My love, I need you to promise me something.

Promise that our love won’t die when I leave. I will come back to you, and when I do, we can get married. Promise me that you’ll wait. You’ll come see me, right? On the screens and at the top of the X? That way, it’s like I’m still with you, that I still love you. I’ll dedicate every match, every win, to you.

Please, Emika. Promise me.

( @lady-kurobarapriestess ACK IM TRYING TO GET THIS BALL ROLLING AAGIN SO SORRY *bows so deep my head hits the ground*)

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Oh, my dearest Million... Of course I will. She brought Million into a tight hug. The sense in her heartbeat and the softness in her touch and eyes shows towards him. It was the familiar touch of love. She leaned onto his body feeling his pulse too.

( GASPS. YOU'RE FINE!! DON'T HURT YOUR HEAD :(( )

[flaming-cerberus]

*he gently caresses her face, cupping the sun mark on her cheek as he kisses her forehead with warm, loving lips*

I love you, Emika. No matter what paths we take, my heart belongs to you and you alone.

*the leaves rustle around them, pushed back and forth by two conflicting winds. It seemed almost as if the universe itself was telling them that they had to be apart*

I’ll see you again as soon as I can.

*with that, he releases her and disappears into the shadows of the trees. As Emika too begins to walk away, he turns back for a second where she can’t see him, tempted to run to her and throw himself into her arms and never leave, but in the end, he fought off his tears and turned away into the brush, never looking back again*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

(START OF THE MIRIKA WEDDING CHAIN!)

Emika was getting ready, she sighs, looking at her attire. The snow white shiromuku on top of her. She looked towards Tenka.

Tenka, thank you so much for helping me out and making this day possible.. All of the Shiroboshi members are also welcome guests since we are using the garden after all....

My dearest cousin.. Is everything ready? If so then you can let everybody in.

( @flaming-cerberus , @white-stxr , @lantz-zodiac , and @mikazuki-crescentpriest )

[flaming-cerberus]

It’s finally time… can’t even believe this. Everyone really came together to make this happen, and I want to that you all before we start. Tenka, for assisting my Emika as her bridesmaid, Mikazuki, for being the one to actually marry us, and even Lantz, for agreeing to the truce so you could be my best man. I know I haven’t said this, but… I’m grateful for all of you.

*he blushes and turns away, shy that he’s admitting his respect for all of them despite his nature*

This is gonna be perfect. I- No, we’ll make sure of it.

[lantz-zodiac]

... Thanking me.

Hey, Million. You're blushing red, going out of your nature are you? I would love to make fun of you right now, but we're having a truce. Just be grateful for us.

[flaming-cerberus]

You- Ugh, never mind. Thanks a bunch or whatever.

*he huffs and resists the urge to stick his tongue out at Lantz before realizing how childish that seems*

And now we just wait for everyone to get here…

*a few minutes later, he’s been tapping his foot and tugging at his collar awkwardly*

…Would you excuse us for a second?

*he grabs Lantz by the sleeve and pulls him off to a quiet corner*

( @lantz-zodiac )

[lantz-zodiac]

Hey, what's the deal with this?! Why are we both in a corner? Now you got my glasses dirty.

Lantz takes off his glasses and wipes them with a cloth he kept on his person, before sighing and turning towards Million. Now, on with your words. What is it you want to say?

[flaming-cerberus]

I think I’m gonna pass out.

I’m getting married, Lantz! What if I mess something up and embarrass myself, or embarrass her? And we’re gonna spend the rest of our lives together?! Every day, I’m gonna wake up to her laying there beside me?! How is this real?! How did she choose me? What if she decides she doesn’t want to be with me anymore? And when we become parents-

*he wipes his hands on his shirt as they’re dripping with sweat*

What do I do?

[lantz-zodiac]

Please don't pass out at this time.

Million, you'll be fine. I promise you that you will be fine. I know you're nervous, but you both will be spending your life together, I was never really accepting of your relationship, however I am getting used to it.

Emika chose you for a reason, I don't exactly know why, but she did. Just stay calm, there's no doubt that Emika will ever leave you, look at the both of you. She won't be leaving anytime. She loves you dearly, probably until you both die but whatever.

Also now's not the time to think about parenting. Think about this first.

[flaming-cerberus]

Hah… I hate to say it, but you’re right. This is all I’ve wanted and more, so I’ll be just fine no matter what. Still a bit stressed though…

Hold on, did the Lantz Roji just say that he was getting used to us? And you looked worried about me? You must have a fever or something!

*he places a palm on Lantz’s head, snickering to himself*

[lantz-zodiac]

... How about the punch you?

He sighs and pulls the palm off of his head. Your hands are sweaty, don't touch me. Probably from all of the anxious sweating.

[flaming-cerberus]

Heh, I guess so.

…I know Emika loves me. She spends tons of time building me up and telling me how beautiful I am.

It’s only fair that I trust her.

*he reaches up and pulls the collar he always wears off, revealing the face he’s so insecure about*

I don’t need to hide from her. She deserves to see me. All of me.

Now let’s go. I don’t want to make her wait any longer than I need to.

[lantz-zodiac]

Lantz gave a satisfied smile. Seeing the collar getting tossed across the yard. Hey, we are going to pick that up sooner or later.

You know this is actually one of the first times I have seen you like this.

He shakes his head, before leaving

[flaming-cerberus]

Guess it’s cause it’s a special day. Keep acting the way you usually do though and you’ll never see it again.

*he follows after Lantz, coming back to Emika*

I’m back, sunshine.

*he plays with his clothing and blushes at the surprise from Emika as she sees his face uncovered*

( @lady-kurobarapriestess )

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Oh my... She gave a look of surprise and her hand went to her mouth. Her eyes were shining like sunlight, but she ended up smiling.

Million, my dearest...you look amazing. Did you really, just for this?

[flaming-cerberus]

Of course. You’re always telling me that I’m handsome, so I figured I might as well show it off today. Special occasion, am I right?

Plus, this way it won’t get in the way for the kiss.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Well, of course you are.. I am glad that you wanted to let go of your insecurities just for this moment. It makes me proud of you by a lot.

Don't ever be afraid to show who you are..

I wish I could kiss your face, but we have to wait..

[flaming-cerberus]

You’ve made me a lot more confident. I wouldn’t dream of hiding from you.

As for kisses, I don’t think we’ll have to wait much longer. Looks like a lot of guests have arrived.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Yeah, a lot sure did... Do you want to go meet up with Persona? Multi just arrived I just heard from Tenka. Perhaps you want to get to know them better? Unlike Lantz here....

[flaming-cerberus]

Why not? I know how much you like them.

I’m gonna keep my distance from Jaxon Cross, if he’s here. The little devil keeps asking me to battle or have a “sushi contest”, whatever that means.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Well obviously Jaxon Cross will be there, as he is a member of Team Persona....Speaking of Persona, they might be on edge, because of what Lantz did, but I'm sure they won't have a problem with you.

A sushi contest really? It probably just means eat as much sushi as you can, that is what I can assume.

Let's go.. She took his hand and brought him over to Persona's table

( @personas-baby-bird , @teampersona4life , @xsushibladerx , @white-stxr sorry for mentions!)

[teampersona4life]

Multi watches helplessly as Ciel zips away from the scene after seeing Million.

( Guess Ciel still doesn’t like him that much— oh well, at least he didn’t stay to glare. )

Multi bows her head to both of them.

Lady Emika… Million Mizu.

I’m grateful that Team Persona was allowed to attend today on your special day— and I thank you for reserving chairs for us as well. She lifts her head. Oh that’s right— Tenka?

( @white-stxr )

Multi’s face forms an awkward expression as she whispers to Tenka.

I’ve never physically been at a wedding before, where should I give put the envelope of money that Persona got together for them?

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

She also watched Ciel leave the scene. Perhaps she also knows what happened, she watched that exact stream.

[Emika thought to herself : Guess he still remembers huh?]

Emika began to squeeze Million's hand tightly, like really tight, but not much to hurt him then she taps his foot with her zori. Basically signaling to tell him to apologize. Before returning her gaze at Multi. A smile shined on her soft face.

It's an honor, Multi..glad that you were able to attend, it brings so much joy to my soul. After all you guys really helped me and Tenka so much, it's the best we could do.. Just have a good time alright? Emika gave Multi a soft and soothing smile on her fair skinned face. Watching her soul from afar.

[teampersona4life]

Multi smiles back, positively beaming.

We definitely will! And it’s no problem at all. Persona is always glad to be able to help friends.

She then turns around.

Oh— I think your soon-to-be husband and Ciel are coming back! …Wait. Multi turns back to Emika. Did you…?

She seems to think better of it as the smile on Emika’s face widens and Multi shakes her head. She turns to wave at the other two Bladers.

Million! Ciel!

( @flaming-cerberus , @king-of-amateurs )

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Perhaps I did... Emika turned towards Million and Ciel as they both return

Welcome back you too, I hope you guys were able to patch things up.

[king-of-amateurs]

Ciel came to a stop and bowed in front of Emika. Oh— Lady Emika! Yeah, Million and I were able to settle things. Not fully, but just enough.

Also, I’m thankful that you allowed me to attend last minute even when I said I wouldn’t come. I hope you have the most wonderful wedding ever!

Ciel then turned to Multi and shot her a small warm smile. Despite what Million told him earlier he still felt that Multi and him were very much good friends. Maybe a little more, but not anything romantic.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

I see.. That's good. And of course, Ciel! It's an honor to have you here with us, it means a lot to me and Million! Hope you enjoy the ceremony.

Emika turned towards the table for Persona and thought to herself, with her hand on her chin. She was in deep thought. Before she switched back to Ciel. You're welcome to sit at the reserved table for Persona! Especially since they bought you here themselves, Multi mainly.

That's my treat to you as well.

[king-of-amateurs]

Ciel looks taken aback by Emika’s kind gesture. After the surprised expression on his face briefly passed he began to bow. W-wait, you mean it? Thank you very much!

And without a second thought, he happily goes over to Multi, trying not to look too pleased with himself. Multi is smiling back at him and takes his hand to lead him to his seat.

Ciel turns back around and waves before she can do so.

All of us will definitely enjoy the ceremony— I hope it’s starting soon!

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika gave her signature smile that radiated. It will soon! Right, Million? Everything should be ready to go..all we need are Tenka and Lantz to come along.

( @flaming-cerberus )

[flaming-cerberus]

Yeah, looks like all’s settled and we can go on soon. Believe me, I don’t want to wait any more than you do. Let’s find our bridesmaid and best man so we can get married!

Lantz! Where’d you go? Come on, we’re getting started!

( @lantz-zodiac )

[lantz-zodiac]

Lantz had finished cleaning his glasses, his head turned to Million. He simply nodded. I'll be there right now.

He began to walk over to Million. You're still nervous aren't you? I can definitely tell.

[flaming-cerberus]

A bit, but it’s fine. This is the day I’ve been dreaming of. It’s gonna be amazing, I just know it!

Now, Emika, let’s go get married!

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika nodded. Yeah! This is definitely going to be amazing! I can't wait for it either, now let us..

She reached out for his hand

[flaming-cerberus]

*he takes her hand, smiling brighter than ever*

I love you. And I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

*his slightly scratchy voice and calloused hands against Emika’s light, melodic voice and soft hands create a perfect contrast. A perfect contrast, just like their personalities. Million with his rough exterior and a soft side hidden deep within, Emika with her bright, sweet outside and a fire burning within her, they fit like two pieces of a puzzle. Like yin and yang. The priestess and Cerberus, an unusual pair, but one that is meant to be.*

Together, always.

*As they walk side by side, hand in hand, the guests turn their heads and pay attention. Even Blader X settles down (a miracle, really). *

I’m so glad it’s you I’m here with, Emika. 

*he smiles and squeezes her hand with tears forming in his eyes, his smile lighting up his whole face with the sheer joy of the moment*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

We will spend our lives together until the day we get our souls carried to the other side.

Emika grabbed his hand, and she began taking him down the aisle. Her hand began tying around his. The snowy white Shiromuku with the red accents shined brightly with Million's Montsuki, a perfect contrast of black and white.

Emika's red eyes look up at Million, looking into his canine shines, she just smiled. Glad it was with you too, things would have been very different if I didn't choose you, wouldn't they? Emika notices him squeezing her hand, along with the tears. They were also forming in her eyes, but it was light.

I love you, Million Mizu..

[flaming-cerberus]

I love you too, Emika Kurobara, with all my heart…

*finally, after all the time spent waiting, from their separation at the Shiroboshi School to their reunion, the pair reached the altar at the end of the aisle where Mikazuki waited.*

…and all my soul.

*standing there, in front of so many people, about to be married to the love of his life, Million felt as if his heart would explode. His grin lit his face like a candle, and all for Emika.*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika held his hand tightly, the rough and calloused surface rubbed against her delicate and smooth warmth of her hand. Million, don't worry about the others behind us, focus on me and Mikazuki in front of you. That's all your mind needs to be at right now.

We will be officially married soon, my dear. Be ready for our vows soon.

[flaming-cerberus]

Haaaaaa…

*he breathes out heavily, trying to release his tension. He succeeds partially, with his shoulders relaxing but his mind still racing.*

Yeah. Okay, I can do that. The vows. That’s all I need to worry about.

*he talks to himself out loud before breathing out once more and turning to Mikazuki*

I’m ready if she is.

( @mikazuki-crescentpriest I hand it off to you)

[mikazuki-crescentpriest]

Mikazuki nodded.

Today we gather these two. The Miko and the flame canine. Both purities will become one. To the deities they show, the two will be worth all the love from the beyond. to die is to live, to live is to die.

He bows and continues

Million Mizu, you take Miko, Emika Kurobara, to be her husband? Emika Kurobara, you take the flaming canine, Million Mizu, to be his wife? The deities will bring you two closer to each other's heart, soul, and physicality. Now the vows may commence. He bowed again.

(Miko is Shrine Maiden fyi!)

[flaming-cerberus]

*million clears his throat and smiles as he speaks with pure love in his voice and eyes*

Emika, my love, my sunshine, light of my life. From the day I first saw you in the Shiroboshi school, I knew you would be important to me. It was the way you smile, where it reaches your eyes, the kind of thing I hadn’t seen in so long, that first showed me how wonderful you are.

   I love your passion when you talk about your archery or your hobbies, your ferocity when you defend who we are and our love, and the pure love and joy in your heart when you tell me about your job as a priestess and all the souls you met that day. 

  I promise to protect you with my whole self, to love you no matter what comes our way, to listen to you talk about everything and nothing, to kiss you goodbye any time I leave, and to never forget our important days. 

  Spending the rest of my life with you feels like a dream, and I can’t wait to make a beautiful future with you by my side!

*he’s holding back tears of joy the whole time, seeing his beautiful bride across from him and imagining the life ahead of them*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika's eyes began to water as well. Hearing him talk about her in such a loving way made her do that exact smile he talked about.

Oh, Million...you were the brightest flame that I have met. Something about those eyes and the hair made me want to get closer. Speaking that you were always chasing me around, I never wanted to speak to you until you actually finally did yourself.

I still remember when we first met, you had beaten up some of the students of this school. But I am happy she took you in. I wonder what would've happened if she hasnt.

I am happy you taught me beyblade, as I wasn't interested in it. I managed to give my all for Persona and to reach you at the top of the X.

I am grateful to all of the gods and deities that brought us together. To all of my ancestors who are watching from above, allow Million into the Kurobara and give him good fortune..

She pressed her head to her hands, bowing down.

Let me love him eternally. Allow him into the family, dearest ancestors and gods and deities. Shinto Miko Emika bows to all.

Emika raises her head and gazes at Million, still smiling.

[flaming-cerberus]

*million stares into her eyes, cheeks flushed pink and eyes watering. To hear her speak so highly of him, in front of so many people; his heart felt like it was about to explode*

I want to love you eternally as well. Until the day I die, I will love you with all my heart!

*he slides his fingers in between hers, interlocking them together*

I’ll hold you close to me until then.

[mikazuki-crescentpriest]

Mikazuki looks between the two and closes his book. Now you may kiss, to bring each other's souls into one.

[flaming-cerberus]

*with that, Million pulls Emika close to him and, not wanting to wait a second longer, kisses her. The spectators applaud, but all Million can think about is the life he’ll build with Emika. He can almost see it now… a beautiful home, beautiful kids, and of course his beautiful wife.*

*His wife. It felt so good to say, or rather think, that Emika was his wife. *

*A single tear of joy fell from his eye as he opened them once again, looking at Emika in all her glory and knowing that he was hers. Joy overwhelmed him, and he cried out happily:*

I love you, Emika! I really love you!

*wrapping his arms around her waist, he lifts her up with the biggest smile on his face. Seeing her smile back made his heart soar, and he knew he’d make sure that she smiled like that every single day.*

[lantz-zodiac]

Hey Million, I am happy for you. Just know, I am proud of you. The Shiroboshi Style counts on you and Emika a lot.

Young Lady Tenka does too.

This is extremely unreal of me isn't it. He coughs and turns his head away. I totally still hate your relationship. Totally.

[flaming-cerberus]

Heh, who would have thought? Lantz Roji, happy for me? First time for everything, I guess.

Yeah, yeah, kept telling yourself that. But really, thanks. For all your support this whole time. Don’t think I didn’t see you smile earlier. Maybe we can get along better after all this, huh?

[lantz-zodiac]

Million....perhaps we might be able to. Forget you saw a smile, there was nothing from me.

I think my hating was pushing you guys further wasn't it? Don't do anything crazy, If you know what I mean.

[flaming-cerberus]

Whatever you say.

It kinda was egging me on, to be honest. I’m sure you noticed that I was a little extra affectionate to her when you were around. I always wanted to brag about her, and I guess I might have been a bit insufferable.

Maybe one day, you’ll get someone who you like and you can return the favour, huh?

[lantz-zodiac]

Oh you know damn well you were. Almost like you were trying to piss me off with all your lovey dovey stuff.

Lantz goes quiet when Million mentions about him getting somebody for himself.

Maybe one day. I just haven't found the right person. It could be a woman, a man, or something in between, I wouldn't care less. He had gone calm, normally he was serious, but now looking at him. Love was really a topic, for Lantz, romantic love mainly.

Do I need a notebook in order to figure out ideals or something, or do I take your advice?

[flaming-cerberus]

Guilty as charged, heh.

You’ll find someone, I’m sure. You’ve got a… charming… personality.

Anyway… you’ve got the ring, right? I think it’s high time I give it to her.

( @lantz-zodiac )

[lantz-zodiac]

Sarcastic are you? Also of course. He picks up the pillow that has the rings, he nudges Tenka. Telling her it was time to give the rings

( @white-stxr )

[shiroboshi-style]

Tenka looked over at Lantz and she nodded, grabbing her own pillow for Million's ring for Emika to give to him. She stands next to Emika

I think we're ready now, Cousin Emika! Hope you're ready too Lantz with Emika's ring from Million.

( @flaming-cerberus , @lady-kurobarapriestess )

[flaming-cerberus]

Thanks, Lantz.

*he takes his ring for Emika off of the cushion. They had decided on a matching pair, the larger one for Million and the smaller one for Emika. Lifting the ring up to her finger, he smiles brightly as he slides it on*

(the pair @hy0gatoxzu found for them <3)

With this ring, I thee wed!

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika smiled in return. Turning towards Tenka and bowing to her. She brings the ring for Million from the cushion to his hand, sliding the ring on his finger.

I thee wed too...

[flaming-cerberus]

*looking at the ring shining on his finger, Million feels a thousand things at once. Most importantly, though, that ring connected him with Emika forever, the thought of which filled him with indescribable joy*

After all this time… we did it. We’re married… I’m not dreaming, am I?

*when Emika takes his hand and squeezes it, he feels warmth blossom inside him from where her hand connects with his and is sure that he’s awake*

Let’s celebrate! The afterparty is here in the Shiroboshi School as well, so stick around and we’ll get started!

( link to the party chain )

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

(This short roleplay chain is based on this post!)

────────────────

There was another day of ambushes at the Shiroboshi School. Tenka had warned Emika of one of these.

Today was different however, she saw somebody targeting a few students and defeating them. Emika quickly ran over to protect them, but upon seeing the one who was doing all of the ambushes.

The sign of dusk approached, the bright light of sundown cast over the figure. It was Million Mizu.

Million...? Emika spoke to him, seeing the launcher in his hand. Her eyes couldn't believe what she was seeing, they had shown being baffled.

────────────────

( @flaming-cerberus — started the chain, hope you'll be up for this! )

[flaming-cerberus]

(oh I am so down)

Emika…? What are you doing here? He said- You were supposed to be inside! You… weren’t supposed to see me…

*he’s frozen on the spot. His arms had fallen to the sides and the launcher to the floor, any need for it now long gone as he was faced with his beloved looking at him as if he was a ghost*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika felt conflicted, her jaw dropped and shook with uncertainty.

Million...where were you, Lantz, and Mikazuki..? Me and Tenka were searching for you three for DAYS! Out of the three, only you showed up? Also what do you mean I wasn't supposed to see you, who told you that I would be inside?!

Explain this!

Million could tell Emika's anger was soaring high from seeing him, based on the tone and the rise of her voice, which was rarely done by her.

[flaming-cerberus]

*he cringes back when Emika shouts, realizing how mad she must be. He knows that all he can do is tell her the truth.*

Do you remember when Lady Omega left- no, when she was expelled from the Shiroboshi School? Me, Lantz and Mikazuki… we went with her.

I’m… I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, or warn you. I really am.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

You and even my elder brother.. I can't believe this. You say you're sorry, but Is it truly forgivable?

Her hands clutched into fists, putting tons of pressure due to her rage.

Why? She murmured.

The flow of the wind coming by and blowing the leaves off of the trees around the school, the wind separated the two by going down the middle of the two. Their paths intertwined into one, yet so far from each other.

[flaming-cerberus]

*Million says nothing. He can’t find anything to say. All he knows is that splitting off from her is breaking his heart, and clearly hers too. He still loves her, more than anything, but he’s already decided. He needs to follow through and follow Omega.*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

I expected this from my elder brother, he admired Aunt Omega like an ancient relic. However, You betrayed me. You betrayed me. YOU BETRAYED ME!

Are you leaving me like how Aunt Omega left Tenka?!

Emika's breath and her heart began racing, she released a sob from the mental pain she just felt. She was going to be out of her control. Her eyes began to get red and puffy. This was so unusual of her, Million definitely broke her heart.

[flaming-cerberus]

Emika, no! Please calm down! You’re gonna- kgh!

*he can see that words won’t reach her right now. Hearing her breathing, he begins to worry for her and ends up making a decision that tears his heart in two to think about, to risk hurting Emika, but he doesn’t see another way to get her to calm down. Apologizing to her in his mind, he leaps forward and tackles her to the ground, covering her mouth with his hand.*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

She was taken aback by his sudden action, the two of them landed on the dirt ground, stains all over her pure white and red attire. Get— OFF OF ME— TRAITOR—!

Emika was kicking Million to get him off of her. Her eyes were blood shot and red. LET GO OF ME— She struggled to keep still.

[flaming-cerberus]

CALM DOWN! You’ve gotta control your breathing! You’re hyperventilating, you’re gonna hurt yourself! Please, just calm yourself!

*he holds her there, but not tightly. His eyes are soft and clearly show that he doesn’t want to hurt her*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika looked at Million, seeing his soft eyes and feeling his gentle touch. It was weird to see his eyes so soft, she gave those same eyes in return realizing he wasn't going to hurt her.

She had completely stopped struggling. The air from her mouth was making Million's hand very warm. Her breath began to steady too.

[flaming-cerberus]

There you go, you’re okay-

*suddenly, he ducks down, pushing Emika down so they’re hidden by the bushes. He puts his finger to his mouth to signal Emika to stay quiet, then peeks over the bushes to see whose rustling footsteps he had heard.*

Tenka! Dammit-

*as soon as she looked away, he tugged Emika up to standing and hid with her behind a tree*

Stay still.

( @white-stxr sorry for tag!)

[shiroboshi-style]

She came running out and looked exhausted, her breath trying to catch air and sweat dripped.

Emika! Cousin Emika, Where are you?! I swore I heard you!

Tenka yelled as she glanced in the direction, but couldn't see anything from beyond the darkness.

Where are you...? She turned and began walking away.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika was quiet, feeling Million's hands pull her closer, feeling her head placed upon his chest. She also watched Tenka leave. She looked up at Million, seeing his face as he turned towards her.

Why...why did you betray us? She said in a whisper

( @flaming-cerberus )

[flaming-cerberus]

…I had to choose. Between staying here with you, or following Lady Omega. I had to choose one path.

Lantz and Mikazuki are going this way too. I don’t think anyone could change that now. We’ve taken the first steps, and we can’t go back now.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Why Aunt Omega? Was it because Mikazuki and Lantz went that way too? Leaving me behind because my brother and Lantz chose that path?

It was unbearable, Emika was asking so many questions Million most likely couldn't have an answer to. She was grabbing onto his shirt and tugging at it as a way of her still soft anger.

[flaming-cerberus]

*million passes his hand through her hair slowly, trying to calm her down. Shame washes over him when she asks*

…I can’t give you an answer. I’m sorry.

It’s not anyone’s fault. Not Mikazuki’s, not Lantz’s, and certainly not yours. It’s my choice, and my choice alone.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika flinched when his hand passed through her hair, she turned her head back and away.

You...you hurt my soul, Million. You really hurt it. I get it was your choice but...

She even wanted him to let go of her, but something was bringing her back to him. She struggled with him before, but at this rate she didn't even want to. Perhaps it was how deeply in love they were.

[flaming-cerberus]

… I know. I’m sorry… I’m just sorry.

*he feels a pain shoot through his heart because she pulled away from him. He never wanted to hurt her this way. She wasn’t supposed to know. Not like this.*

…My love, I need you to promise me something.

Promise that our love won’t die when I leave. I will come back to you, and when I do, we can get married. Promise me that you’ll wait. You’ll come see me, right? On the screens and at the top of the X? That way, it’s like I’m still with you, that I still love you. I’ll dedicate every match, every win, to you.

Please, Emika. Promise me.

( @lady-kurobarapriestess ACK IM TRYING TO GET THIS BALL ROLLING AAGIN SO SORRY *bows so deep my head hits the ground*)

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

(START OF THE MIRIKA WEDDING CHAIN!)

Emika was getting ready, she sighs, looking at her attire. The snow white shiromuku on top of her. She looked towards Tenka.

Tenka, thank you so much for helping me out and making this day possible.. All of the Shiroboshi members are also welcome guests since we are using the garden after all....

My dearest cousin.. Is everything ready? If so then you can let everybody in.

( @flaming-cerberus , @white-stxr , @lantz-zodiac , and @mikazuki-crescentpriest )

[flaming-cerberus]

It’s finally time… can’t even believe this. Everyone really came together to make this happen, and I want to that you all before we start. Tenka, for assisting my Emika as her bridesmaid, Mikazuki, for being the one to actually marry us, and even Lantz, for agreeing to the truce so you could be my best man. I know I haven’t said this, but… I’m grateful for all of you.

*he blushes and turns away, shy that he’s admitting his respect for all of them despite his nature*

This is gonna be perfect. I- No, we’ll make sure of it.

[lantz-zodiac]

... Thanking me.

Hey, Million. You're blushing red, going out of your nature are you? I would love to make fun of you right now, but we're having a truce. Just be grateful for us.

[flaming-cerberus]

You- Ugh, never mind. Thanks a bunch or whatever.

*he huffs and resists the urge to stick his tongue out at Lantz before realizing how childish that seems*

And now we just wait for everyone to get here…

*a few minutes later, he’s been tapping his foot and tugging at his collar awkwardly*

…Would you excuse us for a second?

*he grabs Lantz by the sleeve and pulls him off to a quiet corner*

( @lantz-zodiac )

[lantz-zodiac]

Hey, what's the deal with this?! Why are we both in a corner? Now you got my glasses dirty.

Lantz takes off his glasses and wipes them with a cloth he kept on his person, before sighing and turning towards Million. Now, on with your words. What is it you want to say?

[flaming-cerberus]

I think I’m gonna pass out.

I’m getting married, Lantz! What if I mess something up and embarrass myself, or embarrass her? And we’re gonna spend the rest of our lives together?! Every day, I’m gonna wake up to her laying there beside me?! How is this real?! How did she choose me? What if she decides she doesn’t want to be with me anymore? And when we become parents-

*he wipes his hands on his shirt as they’re dripping with sweat*

What do I do?

[lantz-zodiac]

Please don't pass out at this time.

Million, you'll be fine. I promise you that you will be fine. I know you're nervous, but you both will be spending your life together, I was never really accepting of your relationship, however I am getting used to it.

Emika chose you for a reason, I don't exactly know why, but she did. Just stay calm, there's no doubt that Emika will ever leave you, look at the both of you. She won't be leaving anytime. She loves you dearly, probably until you both die but whatever.

Also now's not the time to think about parenting. Think about this first.

[flaming-cerberus]

Hah… I hate to say it, but you’re right. This is all I’ve wanted and more, so I’ll be just fine no matter what. Still a bit stressed though…

Hold on, did the Lantz Roji just say that he was getting used to us? And you looked worried about me? You must have a fever or something!

*he places a palm on Lantz’s head, snickering to himself*

[lantz-zodiac]

... How about the punch you?

He sighs and pulls the palm off of his head. Your hands are sweaty, don't touch me. Probably from all of the anxious sweating.

[flaming-cerberus]

Heh, I guess so.

…I know Emika loves me. She spends tons of time building me up and telling me how beautiful I am.

It’s only fair that I trust her.

*he reaches up and pulls the collar he always wears off, revealing the face he’s so insecure about*

I don’t need to hide from her. She deserves to see me. All of me.

Now let’s go. I don’t want to make her wait any longer than I need to.

[lantz-zodiac]

Lantz gave a satisfied smile. Seeing the collar getting tossed across the yard. Hey, we are going to pick that up sooner or later.

You know this is actually one of the first times I have seen you like this.

He shakes his head, before leaving

[flaming-cerberus]

Guess it’s cause it’s a special day. Keep acting the way you usually do though and you’ll never see it again.

*he follows after Lantz, coming back to Emika*

I’m back, sunshine.

*he plays with his clothing and blushes at the surprise from Emika as she sees his face uncovered*

( @lady-kurobarapriestess )

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Oh my... She gave a look of surprise and her hand went to her mouth. Her eyes were shining like sunlight, but she ended up smiling.

Million, my dearest...you look amazing. Did you really, just for this?

[flaming-cerberus]

Of course. You’re always telling me that I’m handsome, so I figured I might as well show it off today. Special occasion, am I right?

Plus, this way it won’t get in the way for the kiss.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Well, of course you are.. I am glad that you wanted to let go of your insecurities just for this moment. It makes me proud of you by a lot.

Don't ever be afraid to show who you are..

I wish I could kiss your face, but we have to wait..

[flaming-cerberus]

You’ve made me a lot more confident. I wouldn’t dream of hiding from you.

As for kisses, I don’t think we’ll have to wait much longer. Looks like a lot of guests have arrived.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Yeah, a lot sure did... Do you want to go meet up with Persona? Multi just arrived I just heard from Tenka. Perhaps you want to get to know them better? Unlike Lantz here....

[flaming-cerberus]

Why not? I know how much you like them.

I’m gonna keep my distance from Jaxon Cross, if he’s here. The little devil keeps asking me to battle or have a “sushi contest”, whatever that means.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Well obviously Jaxon Cross will be there, as he is a member of Team Persona....Speaking of Persona, they might be on edge, because of what Lantz did, but I'm sure they won't have a problem with you.

A sushi contest really? It probably just means eat as much sushi as you can, that is what I can assume.

Let's go.. She took his hand and brought him over to Persona's table

( @personas-baby-bird , @teampersona4life , @xsushibladerx , @white-stxr sorry for mentions!)

[teampersona4life]

Multi watches helplessly as Ciel zips away from the scene after seeing Million.

( Guess Ciel still doesn’t like him that much— oh well, at least he didn’t stay to glare. )

Multi bows her head to both of them.

Lady Emika… Million Mizu.

I’m grateful that Team Persona was allowed to attend today on your special day— and I thank you for reserving chairs for us as well. She lifts her head. Oh that’s right— Tenka?

( @white-stxr )

Multi’s face forms an awkward expression as she whispers to Tenka.

I’ve never physically been at a wedding before, where should I give put the envelope of money that Persona got together for them?

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

She also watched Ciel leave the scene. Perhaps she also knows what happened, she watched that exact stream.

[Emika thought to herself : Guess he still remembers huh?]

Emika began to squeeze Million's hand tightly, like really tight, but not much to hurt him then she taps his foot with her zori. Basically signaling to tell him to apologize. Before returning her gaze at Multi. A smile shined on her soft face.

It's an honor, Multi..glad that you were able to attend, it brings so much joy to my soul. After all you guys really helped me and Tenka so much, it's the best we could do.. Just have a good time alright? Emika gave Multi a soft and soothing smile on her fair skinned face. Watching her soul from afar.

[teampersona4life]

Multi smiles back, positively beaming.

We definitely will! And it’s no problem at all. Persona is always glad to be able to help friends.

She then turns around.

Oh— I think your soon-to-be husband and Ciel are coming back! …Wait. Multi turns back to Emika. Did you…?

She seems to think better of it as the smile on Emika’s face widens and Multi shakes her head. She turns to wave at the other two Bladers.

Million! Ciel!

( @flaming-cerberus , @king-of-amateurs )

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Perhaps I did... Emika turned towards Million and Ciel as they both return

Welcome back you too, I hope you guys were able to patch things up.

[king-of-amateurs]

Ciel came to a stop and bowed in front of Emika. Oh— Lady Emika! Yeah, Million and I were able to settle things. Not fully, but just enough.

Also, I’m thankful that you allowed me to attend last minute even when I said I wouldn’t come. I hope you have the most wonderful wedding ever!

Ciel then turned to Multi and shot her a small warm smile. Despite what Million told him earlier he still felt that Multi and him were very much good friends. Maybe a little more, but not anything romantic.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

I see.. That's good. And of course, Ciel! It's an honor to have you here with us, it means a lot to me and Million! Hope you enjoy the ceremony.

Emika turned towards the table for Persona and thought to herself, with her hand on her chin. She was in deep thought. Before she switched back to Ciel. You're welcome to sit at the reserved table for Persona! Especially since they bought you here themselves, Multi mainly.

That's my treat to you as well.

[king-of-amateurs]

Ciel looks taken aback by Emika’s kind gesture. After the surprised expression on his face briefly passed he began to bow. W-wait, you mean it? Thank you very much!

And without a second thought, he happily goes over to Multi, trying not to look too pleased with himself. Multi is smiling back at him and takes his hand to lead him to his seat.

Ciel turns back around and waves before she can do so.

All of us will definitely enjoy the ceremony— I hope it’s starting soon!

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika gave her signature smile that radiated. It will soon! Right, Million? Everything should be ready to go..all we need are Tenka and Lantz to come along.

( @flaming-cerberus )

[flaming-cerberus]

Yeah, looks like all’s settled and we can go on soon. Believe me, I don’t want to wait any more than you do. Let’s find our bridesmaid and best man so we can get married!

Lantz! Where’d you go? Come on, we’re getting started!

( @lantz-zodiac )

[lantz-zodiac]

Lantz had finished cleaning his glasses, his head turned to Million. He simply nodded. I'll be there right now.

He began to walk over to Million. You're still nervous aren't you? I can definitely tell.

[flaming-cerberus]

A bit, but it’s fine. This is the day I’ve been dreaming of. It’s gonna be amazing, I just know it!

Now, Emika, let’s go get married!

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika nodded. Yeah! This is definitely going to be amazing! I can't wait for it either, now let us..

She reached out for his hand

[flaming-cerberus]

*he takes her hand, smiling brighter than ever*

I love you. And I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

*his slightly scratchy voice and calloused hands against Emika’s light, melodic voice and soft hands create a perfect contrast. A perfect contrast, just like their personalities. Million with his rough exterior and a soft side hidden deep within, Emika with her bright, sweet outside and a fire burning within her, they fit like two pieces of a puzzle. Like yin and yang. The priestess and Cerberus, an unusual pair, but one that is meant to be.*

Together, always.

*As they walk side by side, hand in hand, the guests turn their heads and pay attention. Even Blader X settles down (a miracle, really). *

I’m so glad it’s you I’m here with, Emika. 

*he smiles and squeezes her hand with tears forming in his eyes, his smile lighting up his whole face with the sheer joy of the moment*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

We will spend our lives together until the day we get our souls carried to the other side.

Emika grabbed his hand, and she began taking him down the aisle. Her hand began tying around his. The snowy white Shiromuku with the red accents shined brightly with Million's Montsuki, a perfect contrast of black and white.

Emika's red eyes look up at Million, looking into his canine shines, she just smiled. Glad it was with you too, things would have been very different if I didn't choose you, wouldn't they? Emika notices him squeezing her hand, along with the tears. They were also forming in her eyes, but it was light.

I love you, Million Mizu..

[flaming-cerberus]

I love you too, Emika Kurobara, with all my heart…

*finally, after all the time spent waiting, from their separation at the Shiroboshi School to their reunion, the pair reached the altar at the end of the aisle where Mikazuki waited.*

…and all my soul.

*standing there, in front of so many people, about to be married to the love of his life, Million felt as if his heart would explode. His grin lit his face like a candle, and all for Emika.*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika held his hand tightly, the rough and calloused surface rubbed against her delicate and smooth warmth of her hand. Million, don't worry about the others behind us, focus on me and Mikazuki in front of you. That's all your mind needs to be at right now.

We will be officially married soon, my dear. Be ready for our vows soon.

[flaming-cerberus]

Haaaaaa…

*he breathes out heavily, trying to release his tension. He succeeds partially, with his shoulders relaxing but his mind still racing.*

Yeah. Okay, I can do that. The vows. That’s all I need to worry about.

*he talks to himself out loud before breathing out once more and turning to Mikazuki*

I’m ready if she is.

( @mikazuki-crescentpriest I hand it off to you)

[mikazuki-crescentpriest]

Mikazuki nodded.

Today we gather these two. The Miko and the flame canine. Both purities will become one. To the deities they show, the two will be worth all the love from the beyond. to die is to live, to live is to die.

He bows and continues

Million Mizu, you take Miko, Emika Kurobara, to be her husband? Emika Kurobara, you take the flaming canine, Million Mizu, to be his wife? The deities will bring you two closer to each other's heart, soul, and physicality. Now the vows may commence. He bowed again.

(Miko is Shrine Maiden fyi!)

[flaming-cerberus]

*million clears his throat and smiles as he speaks with pure love in his voice and eyes*

Emika, my love, my sunshine, light of my life. From the day I first saw you in the Shiroboshi school, I knew you would be important to me. It was the way you smile, where it reaches your eyes, the kind of thing I hadn’t seen in so long, that first showed me how wonderful you are.

   I love your passion when you talk about your archery or your hobbies, your ferocity when you defend who we are and our love, and the pure love and joy in your heart when you tell me about your job as a priestess and all the souls you met that day. 

  I promise to protect you with my whole self, to love you no matter what comes our way, to listen to you talk about everything and nothing, to kiss you goodbye any time I leave, and to never forget our important days. 

  Spending the rest of my life with you feels like a dream, and I can’t wait to make a beautiful future with you by my side!

*he’s holding back tears of joy the whole time, seeing his beautiful bride across from him and imagining the life ahead of them*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika's eyes began to water as well. Hearing him talk about her in such a loving way made her do that exact smile he talked about.

Oh, Million...you were the brightest flame that I have met. Something about those eyes and the hair made me want to get closer. Speaking that you were always chasing me around, I never wanted to speak to you until you actually finally did yourself.

I still remember when we first met, you had beaten up some of the students of this school. But I am happy she took you in. I wonder what would've happened if she hasnt.

I am happy you taught me beyblade, as I wasn't interested in it. I managed to give my all for Persona and to reach you at the top of the X.

I am grateful to all of the gods and deities that brought us together. To all of my ancestors who are watching from above, allow Million into the Kurobara and give him good fortune..

She pressed her head to her hands, bowing down.

Let me love him eternally. Allow him into the family, dearest ancestors and gods and deities. Shinto Miko Emika bows to all.

Emika raises her head and gazes at Million, still smiling.

[flaming-cerberus]

*million stares into her eyes, cheeks flushed pink and eyes watering. To hear her speak so highly of him, in front of so many people; his heart felt like it was about to explode*

I want to love you eternally as well. Until the day I die, I will love you with all my heart!

*he slides his fingers in between hers, interlocking them together*

I’ll hold you close to me until then.

[mikazuki-crescentpriest]

Mikazuki looks between the two and closes his book. Now you may kiss, to bring each other's souls into one.

[flaming-cerberus]

*with that, Million pulls Emika close to him and, not wanting to wait a second longer, kisses her. The spectators applaud, but all Million can think about is the life he’ll build with Emika. He can almost see it now… a beautiful home, beautiful kids, and of course his beautiful wife.*

*His wife. It felt so good to say, or rather think, that Emika was his wife. *

*A single tear of joy fell from his eye as he opened them once again, looking at Emika in all her glory and knowing that he was hers. Joy overwhelmed him, and he cried out happily:*

I love you, Emika! I really love you!

*wrapping his arms around her waist, he lifts her up with the biggest smile on his face. Seeing her smile back made his heart soar, and he knew he’d make sure that she smiled like that every single day.*

[lantz-zodiac]

Hey Million, I am happy for you. Just know, I am proud of you. The Shiroboshi Style counts on you and Emika a lot.

Young Lady Tenka does too.

This is extremely unreal of me isn't it. He coughs and turns his head away. I totally still hate your relationship. Totally.

[flaming-cerberus]

Heh, who would have thought? Lantz Roji, happy for me? First time for everything, I guess.

Yeah, yeah, kept telling yourself that. But really, thanks. For all your support this whole time. Don’t think I didn’t see you smile earlier. Maybe we can get along better after all this, huh?

[lantz-zodiac]

Million....perhaps we might be able to. Forget you saw a smile, there was nothing from me.

I think my hating was pushing you guys further wasn't it? Don't do anything crazy, If you know what I mean.

[flaming-cerberus]

Whatever you say.

It kinda was egging me on, to be honest. I’m sure you noticed that I was a little extra affectionate to her when you were around. I always wanted to brag about her, and I guess I might have been a bit insufferable.

Maybe one day, you’ll get someone who you like and you can return the favour, huh?

[lantz-zodiac]

Oh you know damn well you were. Almost like you were trying to piss me off with all your lovey dovey stuff.

Lantz goes quiet when Million mentions about him getting somebody for himself.

Maybe one day. I just haven't found the right person. It could be a woman, a man, or something in between, I wouldn't care less. He had gone calm, normally he was serious, but now looking at him. Love was really a topic, for Lantz, romantic love mainly.

Do I need a notebook in order to figure out ideals or something, or do I take your advice?

[flaming-cerberus]

Guilty as charged, heh.

You’ll find someone, I’m sure. You’ve got a… charming… personality.

Anyway… you’ve got the ring, right? I think it’s high time I give it to her.

( @lantz-zodiac )

[lantz-zodiac]

Sarcastic are you? Also of course. He picks up the pillow that has the rings, he nudges Tenka. Telling her it was time to give the rings

( @white-stxr )

[shiroboshi-style]

Tenka looked over at Lantz and she nodded, grabbing her own pillow for Million's ring for Emika to give to him. She stands next to Emika

I think we're ready now, Cousin Emika! Hope you're ready too Lantz with Emika's ring from Million.

( @flaming-cerberus , @lady-kurobarapriestess )

[flaming-cerberus]

Thanks, Lantz.

*he takes his ring for Emika off of the cushion. They had decided on a matching pair, the larger one for Million and the smaller one for Emika. Lifting the ring up to her finger, he smiles brightly as he slides it on*

(the pair @hy0gatoxzu found for them <3)

With this ring, I thee wed!

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

(START OF THE MIRIKA WEDDING CHAIN!)

Emika was getting ready, she sighs, looking at her attire. The snow white shiromuku on top of her. She looked towards Tenka.

Tenka, thank you so much for helping me out and making this day possible.. All of the Shiroboshi members are also welcome guests since we are using the garden after all....

My dearest cousin.. Is everything ready? If so then you can let everybody in.

( @flaming-cerberus , @white-stxr , @lantz-zodiac , and @mikazuki-crescentpriest )

[flaming-cerberus]

It’s finally time… can’t even believe this. Everyone really came together to make this happen, and I want to that you all before we start. Tenka, for assisting my Emika as her bridesmaid, Mikazuki, for being the one to actually marry us, and even Lantz, for agreeing to the truce so you could be my best man. I know I haven’t said this, but… I’m grateful for all of you.

*he blushes and turns away, shy that he’s admitting his respect for all of them despite his nature*

This is gonna be perfect. I- No, we’ll make sure of it.

[lantz-zodiac]

... Thanking me.

Hey, Million. You're blushing red, going out of your nature are you? I would love to make fun of you right now, but we're having a truce. Just be grateful for us.

[flaming-cerberus]

You- Ugh, never mind. Thanks a bunch or whatever.

*he huffs and resists the urge to stick his tongue out at Lantz before realizing how childish that seems*

And now we just wait for everyone to get here…

*a few minutes later, he’s been tapping his foot and tugging at his collar awkwardly*

…Would you excuse us for a second?

*he grabs Lantz by the sleeve and pulls him off to a quiet corner*

( @lantz-zodiac )

[lantz-zodiac]

Hey, what's the deal with this?! Why are we both in a corner? Now you got my glasses dirty.

Lantz takes off his glasses and wipes them with a cloth he kept on his person, before sighing and turning towards Million. Now, on with your words. What is it you want to say?

[flaming-cerberus]

I think I’m gonna pass out.

I’m getting married, Lantz! What if I mess something up and embarrass myself, or embarrass her? And we’re gonna spend the rest of our lives together?! Every day, I’m gonna wake up to her laying there beside me?! How is this real?! How did she choose me? What if she decides she doesn’t want to be with me anymore? And when we become parents-

*he wipes his hands on his shirt as they’re dripping with sweat*

What do I do?

[lantz-zodiac]

Please don't pass out at this time.

Million, you'll be fine. I promise you that you will be fine. I know you're nervous, but you both will be spending your life together, I was never really accepting of your relationship, however I am getting used to it.

Emika chose you for a reason, I don't exactly know why, but she did. Just stay calm, there's no doubt that Emika will ever leave you, look at the both of you. She won't be leaving anytime. She loves you dearly, probably until you both die but whatever.

Also now's not the time to think about parenting. Think about this first.

[flaming-cerberus]

Hah… I hate to say it, but you’re right. This is all I’ve wanted and more, so I’ll be just fine no matter what. Still a bit stressed though…

Hold on, did the Lantz Roji just say that he was getting used to us? And you looked worried about me? You must have a fever or something!

*he places a palm on Lantz’s head, snickering to himself*

[lantz-zodiac]

... How about the punch you?

He sighs and pulls the palm off of his head. Your hands are sweaty, don't touch me. Probably from all of the anxious sweating.

[flaming-cerberus]

Heh, I guess so.

…I know Emika loves me. She spends tons of time building me up and telling me how beautiful I am.

It’s only fair that I trust her.

*he reaches up and pulls the collar he always wears off, revealing the face he’s so insecure about*

I don’t need to hide from her. She deserves to see me. All of me.

Now let’s go. I don’t want to make her wait any longer than I need to.

[lantz-zodiac]

Lantz gave a satisfied smile. Seeing the collar getting tossed across the yard. Hey, we are going to pick that up sooner or later.

You know this is actually one of the first times I have seen you like this.

He shakes his head, before leaving

[flaming-cerberus]

Guess it’s cause it’s a special day. Keep acting the way you usually do though and you’ll never see it again.

*he follows after Lantz, coming back to Emika*

I’m back, sunshine.

*he plays with his clothing and blushes at the surprise from Emika as she sees his face uncovered*

( @lady-kurobarapriestess )

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Oh my... She gave a look of surprise and her hand went to her mouth. Her eyes were shining like sunlight, but she ended up smiling.

Million, my dearest...you look amazing. Did you really, just for this?

[flaming-cerberus]

Of course. You’re always telling me that I’m handsome, so I figured I might as well show it off today. Special occasion, am I right?

Plus, this way it won’t get in the way for the kiss.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Well, of course you are.. I am glad that you wanted to let go of your insecurities just for this moment. It makes me proud of you by a lot.

Don't ever be afraid to show who you are..

I wish I could kiss your face, but we have to wait..

[flaming-cerberus]

You’ve made me a lot more confident. I wouldn’t dream of hiding from you.

As for kisses, I don’t think we’ll have to wait much longer. Looks like a lot of guests have arrived.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Yeah, a lot sure did... Do you want to go meet up with Persona? Multi just arrived I just heard from Tenka. Perhaps you want to get to know them better? Unlike Lantz here....

[flaming-cerberus]

Why not? I know how much you like them.

I’m gonna keep my distance from Jaxon Cross, if he’s here. The little devil keeps asking me to battle or have a “sushi contest”, whatever that means.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Well obviously Jaxon Cross will be there, as he is a member of Team Persona....Speaking of Persona, they might be on edge, because of what Lantz did, but I'm sure they won't have a problem with you.

A sushi contest really? It probably just means eat as much sushi as you can, that is what I can assume.

Let's go.. She took his hand and brought him over to Persona's table

( @personas-baby-bird , @teampersona4life , @xsushibladerx , @white-stxr sorry for mentions!)

[teampersona4life]

Multi watches helplessly as Ciel zips away from the scene after seeing Million.

( Guess Ciel still doesn’t like him that much— oh well, at least he didn’t stay to glare. )

Multi bows her head to both of them.

Lady Emika… Million Mizu.

I’m grateful that Team Persona was allowed to attend today on your special day— and I thank you for reserving chairs for us as well. She lifts her head. Oh that’s right— Tenka?

( @white-stxr )

Multi’s face forms an awkward expression as she whispers to Tenka.

I’ve never physically been at a wedding before, where should I give put the envelope of money that Persona got together for them?

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

She also watched Ciel leave the scene. Perhaps she also knows what happened, she watched that exact stream.

[Emika thought to herself : Guess he still remembers huh?]

Emika began to squeeze Million's hand tightly, like really tight, but not much to hurt him then she taps his foot with her zori. Basically signaling to tell him to apologize. Before returning her gaze at Multi. A smile shined on her soft face.

It's an honor, Multi..glad that you were able to attend, it brings so much joy to my soul. After all you guys really helped me and Tenka so much, it's the best we could do.. Just have a good time alright? Emika gave Multi a soft and soothing smile on her fair skinned face. Watching her soul from afar.

[teampersona4life]

Multi smiles back, positively beaming.

We definitely will! And it’s no problem at all. Persona is always glad to be able to help friends.

She then turns around.

Oh— I think your soon-to-be husband and Ciel are coming back! …Wait. Multi turns back to Emika. Did you…?

She seems to think better of it as the smile on Emika’s face widens and Multi shakes her head. She turns to wave at the other two Bladers.

Million! Ciel!

( @flaming-cerberus , @king-of-amateurs )

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Perhaps I did... Emika turned towards Million and Ciel as they both return

Welcome back you too, I hope you guys were able to patch things up.

[king-of-amateurs]

Ciel came to a stop and bowed in front of Emika. Oh— Lady Emika! Yeah, Million and I were able to settle things. Not fully, but just enough.

Also, I’m thankful that you allowed me to attend last minute even when I said I wouldn’t come. I hope you have the most wonderful wedding ever!

Ciel then turned to Multi and shot her a small warm smile. Despite what Million told him earlier he still felt that Multi and him were very much good friends. Maybe a little more, but not anything romantic.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

I see.. That's good. And of course, Ciel! It's an honor to have you here with us, it means a lot to me and Million! Hope you enjoy the ceremony.

Emika turned towards the table for Persona and thought to herself, with her hand on her chin. She was in deep thought. Before she switched back to Ciel. You're welcome to sit at the reserved table for Persona! Especially since they bought you here themselves, Multi mainly.

That's my treat to you as well.

[king-of-amateurs]

Ciel looks taken aback by Emika’s kind gesture. After the surprised expression on his face briefly passed he began to bow. W-wait, you mean it? Thank you very much!

And without a second thought, he happily goes over to Multi, trying not to look too pleased with himself. Multi is smiling back at him and takes his hand to lead him to his seat.

Ciel turns back around and waves before she can do so.

All of us will definitely enjoy the ceremony— I hope it’s starting soon!

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika gave her signature smile that radiated. It will soon! Right, Million? Everything should be ready to go..all we need are Tenka and Lantz to come along.

( @flaming-cerberus )

[flaming-cerberus]

Yeah, looks like all’s settled and we can go on soon. Believe me, I don’t want to wait any more than you do. Let’s find our bridesmaid and best man so we can get married!

Lantz! Where’d you go? Come on, we’re getting started!

( @lantz-zodiac )

[lantz-zodiac]

Lantz had finished cleaning his glasses, his head turned to Million. He simply nodded. I'll be there right now.

He began to walk over to Million. You're still nervous aren't you? I can definitely tell.

[flaming-cerberus]

A bit, but it’s fine. This is the day I’ve been dreaming of. It’s gonna be amazing, I just know it!

Now, Emika, let’s go get married!

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika nodded. Yeah! This is definitely going to be amazing! I can't wait for it either, now let us..

She reached out for his hand

[flaming-cerberus]

*he takes her hand, smiling brighter than ever*

I love you. And I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

*his slightly scratchy voice and calloused hands against Emika’s light, melodic voice and soft hands create a perfect contrast. A perfect contrast, just like their personalities. Million with his rough exterior and a soft side hidden deep within, Emika with her bright, sweet outside and a fire burning within her, they fit like two pieces of a puzzle. Like yin and yang. The priestess and Cerberus, an unusual pair, but one that is meant to be.*

Together, always.

*As they walk side by side, hand in hand, the guests turn their heads and pay attention. Even Blader X settles down (a miracle, really). *

I’m so glad it’s you I’m here with, Emika. 

*he smiles and squeezes her hand with tears forming in his eyes, his smile lighting up his whole face with the sheer joy of the moment*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

We will spend our lives together until the day we get our souls carried to the other side.

Emika grabbed his hand, and she began taking him down the aisle. Her hand began tying around his. The snowy white Shiromuku with the red accents shined brightly with Million's Montsuki, a perfect contrast of black and white.

Emika's red eyes look up at Million, looking into his canine shines, she just smiled. Glad it was with you too, things would have been very different if I didn't choose you, wouldn't they? Emika notices him squeezing her hand, along with the tears. They were also forming in her eyes, but it was light.

I love you, Million Mizu..

[flaming-cerberus]

I love you too, Emika Kurobara, with all my heart…

*finally, after all the time spent waiting, from their separation at the Shiroboshi School to their reunion, the pair reached the altar at the end of the aisle where Mikazuki waited.*

…and all my soul.

*standing there, in front of so many people, about to be married to the love of his life, Million felt as if his heart would explode. His grin lit his face like a candle, and all for Emika.*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika held his hand tightly, the rough and calloused surface rubbed against her delicate and smooth warmth of her hand. Million, don't worry about the others behind us, focus on me and Mikazuki in front of you. That's all your mind needs to be at right now.

We will be officially married soon, my dear. Be ready for our vows soon.

[flaming-cerberus]

Haaaaaa…

*he breathes out heavily, trying to release his tension. He succeeds partially, with his shoulders relaxing but his mind still racing.*

Yeah. Okay, I can do that. The vows. That’s all I need to worry about.

*he talks to himself out loud before breathing out once more and turning to Mikazuki*

I’m ready if she is.

( @mikazuki-crescentpriest I hand it off to you)

[mikazuki-crescentpriest]

Mikazuki nodded.

Today we gather these two. The Miko and the flame canine. Both purities will become one. To the deities they show, the two will be worth all the love from the beyond. to die is to live, to live is to die.

He bows and continues

Million Mizu, you take Miko, Emika Kurobara, to be her husband? Emika Kurobara, you take the flaming canine, Million Mizu, to be his wife? The deities will bring you two closer to each other's heart, soul, and physicality. Now the vows may commence. He bowed again.

(Miko is Shrine Maiden fyi!)

[flaming-cerberus]

*million clears his throat and smiles as he speaks with pure love in his voice and eyes*

Emika, my love, my sunshine, light of my life. From the day I first saw you in the Shiroboshi school, I knew you would be important to me. It was the way you smile, where it reaches your eyes, the kind of thing I hadn’t seen in so long, that first showed me how wonderful you are.

   I love your passion when you talk about your archery or your hobbies, your ferocity when you defend who we are and our love, and the pure love and joy in your heart when you tell me about your job as a priestess and all the souls you met that day. 

  I promise to protect you with my whole self, to love you no matter what comes our way, to listen to you talk about everything and nothing, to kiss you goodbye any time I leave, and to never forget our important days. 

  Spending the rest of my life with you feels like a dream, and I can’t wait to make a beautiful future with you by my side!

*he’s holding back tears of joy the whole time, seeing his beautiful bride across from him and imagining the life ahead of them*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika's eyes began to water as well. Hearing him talk about her in such a loving way made her do that exact smile he talked about.

Oh, Million...you were the brightest flame that I have met. Something about those eyes and the hair made me want to get closer. Speaking that you were always chasing me around, I never wanted to speak to you until you actually finally did yourself.

I still remember when we first met, you had beaten up some of the students of this school. But I am happy she took you in. I wonder what would've happened if she hasnt.

I am happy you taught me beyblade, as I wasn't interested in it. I managed to give my all for Persona and to reach you at the top of the X.

I am grateful to all of the gods and deities that brought us together. To all of my ancestors who are watching from above, allow Million into the Kurobara and give him good fortune..

She pressed her head to her hands, bowing down.

Let me love him eternally. Allow him into the family, dearest ancestors and gods and deities. Shinto Miko Emika bows to all.

Emika raises her head and gazes at Million, still smiling.

[flaming-cerberus]

*million stares into her eyes, cheeks flushed pink and eyes watering. To hear her speak so highly of him, in front of so many people; his heart felt like it was about to explode*

I want to love you eternally as well. Until the day I die, I will love you with all my heart!

*he slides his fingers in between hers, interlocking them together*

I’ll hold you close to me until then.

[mikazuki-crescentpriest]

Mikazuki looks between the two and closes his book. Now you may kiss, to bring each other's souls into one.

[flaming-cerberus]

*with that, Million pulls Emika close to him and, not wanting to wait a second longer, kisses her. The spectators applaud, but all Million can think about is the life he’ll build with Emika. He can almost see it now… a beautiful home, beautiful kids, and of course his beautiful wife.*

*His wife. It felt so good to say, or rather think, that Emika was his wife. *

*A single tear of joy fell from his eye as he opened them once again, looking at Emika in all her glory and knowing that he was hers. Joy overwhelmed him, and he cried out happily:*

I love you, Emika! I really love you!

*wrapping his arms around her waist, he lifts her up with the biggest smile on his face. Seeing her smile back made his heart soar, and he knew he’d make sure that she smiled like that every single day.*

[lantz-zodiac]

Hey Million, I am happy for you. Just know, I am proud of you. The Shiroboshi Style counts on you and Emika a lot.

Young Lady Tenka does too.

This is extremely unreal of me isn't it. He coughs and turns his head away. I totally still hate your relationship. Totally.

[flaming-cerberus]

Heh, who would have thought? Lantz Roji, happy for me? First time for everything, I guess.

Yeah, yeah, kept telling yourself that. But really, thanks. For all your support this whole time. Don’t think I didn’t see you smile earlier. Maybe we can get along better after all this, huh?

[lantz-zodiac]

Million....perhaps we might be able to. Forget you saw a smile, there was nothing from me.

I think my hating was pushing you guys further wasn't it? Don't do anything crazy, If you know what I mean.

[flaming-cerberus]

Whatever you say.

It kinda was egging me on, to be honest. I’m sure you noticed that I was a little extra affectionate to her when you were around. I always wanted to brag about her, and I guess I might have been a bit insufferable.

Maybe one day, you’ll get someone who you like and you can return the favour, huh?

[lantz-zodiac]

Oh you know damn well you were. Almost like you were trying to piss me off with all your lovey dovey stuff.

Lantz goes quiet when Million mentions about him getting somebody for himself.

Do I need a notebook in order to figure out ideals or something, or do I take your advice?

[flaming-cerberus]

[teampersona4life]

Multi smiles back, positively beaming.

We definitely will! And it’s no problem at all. Persona is always glad to be able to help friends.

She then turns around.

Oh— I think your soon-to-be husband and Ciel are coming back! …Wait. Multi turns back to Emika. Did you…?

She seems to think better of it as the smile on Emika’s face widens and Multi shakes her head. She turns to wave at the other two Bladers.

Million! Ciel!

( @flaming-cerberus , @king-of-amateurs )

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Perhaps I did... Emika turned towards Million and Ciel as they both return

Welcome back you too, I hope you guys were able to patch things up.

[king-of-amateurs]

Ciel came to a stop and bowed in front of Emika. Oh— Lady Emika! Yeah, Million and I were able to settle things. Not fully, but just enough.

Also, I’m thankful that you allowed me to attend last minute even when I said I wouldn’t come. I hope you have the most wonderful wedding ever!

Ciel then turned to Multi and shot her a small warm smile. Despite what Million told him earlier he still felt that Multi and him were very much good friends. Maybe a little more, but not anything romantic.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

I see.. That's good. And of course, Ciel! It's an honor to have you here with us, it means a lot to me and Million! Hope you enjoy the ceremony.

Emika turned towards the table for Persona and thought to herself, with her hand on her chin. She was in deep thought. Before she switched back to Ciel. You're welcome to sit at the reserved table for Persona! Especially since they bought you here themselves, Multi mainly.

That's my treat to you as well.

[king-of-amateurs]

Ciel looks taken aback by Emika’s kind gesture. After the surprised expression on his face briefly passed he began to bow. W-wait, you mean it? Thank you very much!

And without a second thought, he happily goes over to Multi, trying not to look too pleased with himself. Multi is smiling back at him and takes his hand to lead him to his seat.

Ciel turns back around and waves before she can do so.

All of us will definitely enjoy the ceremony— I hope it’s starting soon!

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika gave her signature smile that radiated. It will soon! Right, Million? Everything should be ready to go..all we need are Tenka and Lantz to come along.

( @flaming-cerberus )

[flaming-cerberus]

Yeah, looks like all’s settled and we can go on soon. Believe me, I don’t want to wait any more than you do. Let’s find our bridesmaid and best man so we can get married!

Lantz! Where’d you go? Come on, we’re getting started!

( @lantz-zodiac )

[lantz-zodiac]

Lantz had finished cleaning his glasses, his head turned to Million. He simply nodded. I'll be there right now.

He began to walk over to Million. You're still nervous aren't you? I can definitely tell.

[flaming-cerberus]

A bit, but it’s fine. This is the day I’ve been dreaming of. It’s gonna be amazing, I just know it!

Now, Emika, let’s go get married!

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika nodded. Yeah! This is definitely going to be amazing! I can't wait for it either, now let us..

She reached out for his hand

[flaming-cerberus]

*he takes her hand, smiling brighter than ever*

I love you. And I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

*his slightly scratchy voice and calloused hands against Emika’s light, melodic voice and soft hands create a perfect contrast. A perfect contrast, just like their personalities. Million with his rough exterior and a soft side hidden deep within, Emika with her bright, sweet outside and a fire burning within her, they fit like two pieces of a puzzle. Like yin and yang. The priestess and Cerberus, an unusual pair, but one that is meant to be.*

Together, always.

*As they walk side by side, hand in hand, the guests turn their heads and pay attention. Even Blader X settles down (a miracle, really). *

I’m so glad it’s you I’m here with, Emika. 

*he smiles and squeezes her hand with tears forming in his eyes, his smile lighting up his whole face with the sheer joy of the moment*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

We will spend our lives together until the day we get our souls carried to the other side.

Emika grabbed his hand, and she began taking him down the aisle. Her hand began tying around his. The snowy white Shiromuku with the red accents shined brightly with Million's Montsuki, a perfect contrast of black and white.

Emika's red eyes look up at Million, looking into his canine shines, she just smiled. Glad it was with you too, things would have been very different if I didn't choose you, wouldn't they? Emika notices him squeezing her hand, along with the tears. They were also forming in her eyes, but it was light.

I love you, Million Mizu..

[flaming-cerberus]

I love you too, Emika Kurobara, with all my heart…

*finally, after all the time spent waiting, from their separation at the Shiroboshi School to their reunion, the pair reached the altar at the end of the aisle where Mikazuki waited.*

…and all my soul.

*standing there, in front of so many people, about to be married to the love of his life, Million felt as if his heart would explode. His grin lit his face like a candle, and all for Emika.*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika held his hand tightly, the rough and calloused surface rubbed against her delicate and smooth warmth of her hand. Million, don't worry about the others behind us, focus on me and Mikazuki in front of you. That's all your mind needs to be at right now.

We will be officially married soon, my dear. Be ready for our vows soon.

[flaming-cerberus]

Haaaaaa…

*he breathes out heavily, trying to release his tension. He succeeds partially, with his shoulders relaxing but his mind still racing.*

Yeah. Okay, I can do that. The vows. That’s all I need to worry about.

*he talks to himself out loud before breathing out once more and turning to Mikazuki*

I’m ready if she is.

( @mikazuki-crescentpriest I hand it off to you)

[mikazuki-crescentpriest]

Mikazuki nodded.

Today we gather these two. The Miko and the flame canine. Both purities will become one. To the deities they show, the two will be worth all the love from the beyond. to die is to live, to live is to die.

He bows and continues

Million Mizu, you take Miko, Emika Kurobara, to be her husband? Emika Kurobara, you take the flaming canine, Million Mizu, to be his wife? The deities will bring you two closer to each other's heart, soul, and physicality. Now the vows may commence. He bowed again.

(Miko is Shrine Maiden fyi!)

[flaming-cerberus]

*million clears his throat and smiles as he speaks with pure love in his voice and eyes*

Emika, my love, my sunshine, light of my life. From the day I first saw you in the Shiroboshi school, I knew you would be important to me. It was the way you smile, where it reaches your eyes, the kind of thing I hadn’t seen in so long, that first showed me how wonderful you are.

   I love your passion when you talk about your archery or your hobbies, your ferocity when you defend who we are and our love, and the pure love and joy in your heart when you tell me about your job as a priestess and all the souls you met that day. 

  I promise to protect you with my whole self, to love you no matter what comes our way, to listen to you talk about everything and nothing, to kiss you goodbye any time I leave, and to never forget our important days. 

  Spending the rest of my life with you feels like a dream, and I can’t wait to make a beautiful future with you by my side!

*he’s holding back tears of joy the whole time, seeing his beautiful bride across from him and imagining the life ahead of them*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika's eyes began to water as well. Hearing him talk about her in such a loving way made her do that exact smile he talked about.

Oh, Million...you were the brightest flame that I have met. Something about those eyes and the hair made me want to get closer. Speaking that you were always chasing me around, I never wanted to speak to you until you actually finally did yourself.

I still remember when we first met, you had beaten up some of the students of this school. But I am happy she took you in. I wonder what would've happened if she hasnt.

I am happy you taught me beyblade, as I wasn't interested in it. I managed to give my all for Persona and to reach you at the top of the X.

I am grateful to all of the gods and deities that brought us together. To all of my ancestors who are watching from above, allow Million into the Kurobara and give him good fortune..

She pressed her head to her hands, bowing down.

Let me love him eternally. Allow him into the family, dearest ancestors and gods and deities. Shinto Miko Emika bows to all.

Emika raises her head and gazes at Million, still smiling.

[flaming-cerberus]

*million stares into her eyes, cheeks flushed pink and eyes watering. To hear her speak so highly of him, in front of so many people; his heart felt like it was about to explode*

I want to love you eternally as well. Until the day I die, I will love you with all my heart!

*he slides his fingers in between hers, interlocking them together*

I’ll hold you close to me until then.

[mikazuki-crescentpriest]

Mikazuki looks between the two and closes his book. Now you may kiss, to bring each other's souls into one.

[flaming-cerberus]

*with that, Million pulls Emika close to him and, not wanting to wait a second longer, kisses her. The spectators applaud, but all Million can think about is the life he’ll build with Emika. He can almost see it now… a beautiful home, beautiful kids, and of course his beautiful wife.*

*His wife. It felt so good to say, or rather think, that Emika was his wife. *

*A single tear of joy fell from his eye as he opened them once again, looking at Emika in all her glory and knowing that he was hers. Joy overwhelmed him, and he cried out happily:*

I love you, Emika! I really love you!

*wrapping his arms around her waist, he lifts her up with the biggest smile on his face. Seeing her smile back made his heart soar, and he knew he’d make sure that she smiled like that every single day.*

[lantz-zodiac]

Hey Million, I am happy for you. Just know, I am proud of you. The Shiroboshi Style counts on you and Emika a lot.

Young Lady Tenka does too.

This is extremely unreal of me isn't it. He coughs and turns his head away. I totally still hate your relationship. Totally.

[flaming-cerberus]

Heh, who would have thought? Lantz Roji, happy for me? First time for everything, I guess.

Yeah, yeah, kept telling yourself that. But really, thanks. For all your support this whole time. Don’t think I didn’t see you smile earlier. Maybe we can get along better after all this, huh?

[lantz-zodiac]

Million....perhaps we might be able to. Forget you saw a smile, there was nothing from me.

I think my hating was pushing you guys further wasn't it? Don't do anything crazy, If you know what I mean.

[flaming-cerberus]

Whatever you say.

It kinda was egging me on, to be honest. I’m sure you noticed that I was a little extra affectionate to her when you were around. I always wanted to brag about her, and I guess I might have been a bit insufferable.

Maybe one day, you’ll get someone who you like and you can return the favour, huh?

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

(START OF THE MIRIKA WEDDING CHAIN!)

Emika was getting ready, she sighs, looking at her attire. The snow white shiromuku on top of her. She looked towards Tenka.

Tenka, thank you so much for helping me out and making this day possible.. All of the Shiroboshi members are also welcome guests since we are using the garden after all....

My dearest cousin.. Is everything ready? If so then you can let everybody in.

( @flaming-cerberus , @white-stxr , @lantz-zodiac , and @mikazuki-crescentpriest )

[flaming-cerberus]

It’s finally time… can’t even believe this. Everyone really came together to make this happen, and I want to that you all before we start. Tenka, for assisting my Emika as her bridesmaid, Mikazuki, for being the one to actually marry us, and even Lantz, for agreeing to the truce so you could be my best man. I know I haven’t said this, but… I’m grateful for all of you.

*he blushes and turns away, shy that he’s admitting his respect for all of them despite his nature*

This is gonna be perfect. I- No, we’ll make sure of it.

[lantz-zodiac]

... Thanking me.

Hey, Million. You're blushing red, going out of your nature are you? I would love to make fun of you right now, but we're having a truce. Just be grateful for us.

[flaming-cerberus]

You- Ugh, never mind. Thanks a bunch or whatever.

*he huffs and resists the urge to stick his tongue out at Lantz before realizing how childish that seems*

And now we just wait for everyone to get here…

*a few minutes later, he’s been tapping his foot and tugging at his collar awkwardly*

…Would you excuse us for a second?

*he grabs Lantz by the sleeve and pulls him off to a quiet corner*

( @lantz-zodiac )

[lantz-zodiac]

Hey, what's the deal with this?! Why are we both in a corner? Now you got my glasses dirty.

Lantz takes off his glasses and wipes them with a cloth he kept on his person, before sighing and turning towards Million. Now, on with your words. What is it you want to say?

[flaming-cerberus]

I think I’m gonna pass out.

I’m getting married, Lantz! What if I mess something up and embarrass myself, or embarrass her? And we’re gonna spend the rest of our lives together?! Every day, I’m gonna wake up to her laying there beside me?! How is this real?! How did she choose me? What if she decides she doesn’t want to be with me anymore? And when we become parents-

*he wipes his hands on his shirt as they’re dripping with sweat*

What do I do?

[lantz-zodiac]

Please don't pass out at this time.

Million, you'll be fine. I promise you that you will be fine. I know you're nervous, but you both will be spending your life together, I was never really accepting of your relationship, however I am getting used to it.

Emika chose you for a reason, I don't exactly know why, but she did. Just stay calm, there's no doubt that Emika will ever leave you, look at the both of you. She won't be leaving anytime. She loves you dearly, probably until you both die but whatever.

Also now's not the time to think about parenting. Think about this first.

[flaming-cerberus]

Hah… I hate to say it, but you’re right. This is all I’ve wanted and more, so I’ll be just fine no matter what. Still a bit stressed though…

Hold on, did the Lantz Roji just say that he was getting used to us? And you looked worried about me? You must have a fever or something!

*he places a palm on Lantz’s head, snickering to himself*

[lantz-zodiac]

... How about the punch you?

He sighs and pulls the palm off of his head. Your hands are sweaty, don't touch me. Probably from all of the anxious sweating.

[flaming-cerberus]

Heh, I guess so.

…I know Emika loves me. She spends tons of time building me up and telling me how beautiful I am.

It’s only fair that I trust her.

*he reaches up and pulls the collar he always wears off, revealing the face he’s so insecure about*

I don’t need to hide from her. She deserves to see me. All of me.

Now let’s go. I don’t want to make her wait any longer than I need to.

[lantz-zodiac]

Lantz gave a satisfied smile. Seeing the collar getting tossed across the yard. Hey, we are going to pick that up sooner or later.

You know this is actually one of the first times I have seen you like this.

He shakes his head, before leaving

[flaming-cerberus]

Guess it’s cause it’s a special day. Keep acting the way you usually do though and you’ll never see it again.

*he follows after Lantz, coming back to Emika*

I’m back, sunshine.

*he plays with his clothing and blushes at the surprise from Emika as she sees his face uncovered*

( @lady-kurobarapriestess )

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Oh my... She gave a look of surprise and her hand went to her mouth. Her eyes were shining like sunlight, but she ended up smiling.

Million, my dearest...you look amazing. Did you really, just for this?

[flaming-cerberus]

Of course. You’re always telling me that I’m handsome, so I figured I might as well show it off today. Special occasion, am I right?

Plus, this way it won’t get in the way for the kiss.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Well, of course you are.. I am glad that you wanted to let go of your insecurities just for this moment. It makes me proud of you by a lot.

Don't ever be afraid to show who you are..

I wish I could kiss your face, but we have to wait..

[flaming-cerberus]

You’ve made me a lot more confident. I wouldn’t dream of hiding from you.

As for kisses, I don’t think we’ll have to wait much longer. Looks like a lot of guests have arrived.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Yeah, a lot sure did... Do you want to go meet up with Persona? Multi just arrived I just heard from Tenka. Perhaps you want to get to know them better? Unlike Lantz here....

[flaming-cerberus]

Why not? I know how much you like them.

I’m gonna keep my distance from Jaxon Cross, if he’s here. The little devil keeps asking me to battle or have a “sushi contest”, whatever that means.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Well obviously Jaxon Cross will be there, as he is a member of Team Persona....Speaking of Persona, they might be on edge, because of what Lantz did, but I'm sure they won't have a problem with you.

A sushi contest really? It probably just means eat as much sushi as you can, that is what I can assume.

Let's go.. She took his hand and brought him over to Persona's table

( @personas-baby-bird , @teampersona4life , @xsushibladerx , @white-stxr sorry for mentions!)

[teampersona4life]

Multi watches helplessly as Ciel zips away from the scene after seeing Million.

( Guess Ciel still doesn’t like him that much— oh well, at least he didn’t stay to glare. )

Multi bows her head to both of them.

Lady Emika… Million Mizu.

I’m grateful that Team Persona was allowed to attend today on your special day— and I thank you for reserving chairs for us as well. She lifts her head. Oh that’s right— Tenka?

( @white-stxr )

Multi’s face forms an awkward expression as she whispers to Tenka.

I’ve never physically been at a wedding before, where should I give put the envelope of money that Persona got together for them?

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

She also watched Ciel leave the scene. Perhaps she also knows what happened, she watched that exact stream.

[Emika thought to herself : Guess he still remembers huh?]

Emika began to squeeze Million's hand tightly, like really tight, but not much to hurt him then she taps his foot with her zori. Basically signaling to tell him to apologize. Before returning her gaze at Multi. A smile shined on her soft face.

It's an honor, Multi..glad that you were able to attend, it brings so much joy to my soul. After all you guys really helped me and Tenka so much, it's the best we could do.. Just have a good time alright? Emika gave Multi a soft and soothing smile on her fair skinned face. Watching her soul from afar.

[teampersona4life]

Multi smiles back, positively beaming.

We definitely will! And it’s no problem at all. Persona is always glad to be able to help friends.

She then turns around.

Oh— I think your soon-to-be husband and Ciel are coming back! …Wait. Multi turns back to Emika. Did you…?

She seems to think better of it as the smile on Emika’s face widens and Multi shakes her head. She turns to wave at the other two Bladers.

Million! Ciel!

( @flaming-cerberus , @king-of-amateurs )

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Perhaps I did... Emika turned towards Million and Ciel as they both return

Welcome back you too, I hope you guys were able to patch things up.

[king-of-amateurs]

Ciel came to a stop and bowed in front of Emika. Oh— Lady Emika! Yeah, Million and I were able to settle things. Not fully, but just enough.

Also, I’m thankful that you allowed me to attend last minute even when I said I wouldn’t come. I hope you have the most wonderful wedding ever!

────────────────

There was another day of ambushes at the Shiroboshi School. Tenka had warned Emika of one of these.

Today was different however, she saw somebody targeting a few students and defeating them. Emika quickly ran over to protect them, but upon seeing the one who was doing all of the ambushes.

The sign of dusk approached, the bright light of sundown cast over the figure. It was Million Mizu.

Million...? Emika spoke to him, seeing the launcher in his hand. Her eyes couldn't believe what she was seeing, they had shown being baffled.

────────────────

( @flaming-cerberus — started the chain, hope you'll be up for this! )

[flaming-cerberus]

(oh I am so down)

Emika…? What are you doing here? He said- You were supposed to be inside! You… weren’t supposed to see me…

*he’s frozen on the spot. His arms had fallen to the sides and the launcher to the floor, any need for it now long gone as he was faced with his beloved looking at him as if he was a ghost*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika felt conflicted, her jaw dropped and shook with uncertainty.

Million...where were you, Lantz, and Mikazuki..? Me and Tenka were searching for you three for DAYS! Out of the three, only you showed up? Also what do you mean I wasn't supposed to see you, who told you that I would be inside?!

Explain this!

Million could tell Emika's anger was soaring high from seeing him, based on the tone and the rise of her voice, which was rarely done by her.

[flaming-cerberus]

*he cringes back when Emika shouts, realizing how mad she must be. He knows that all he can do is tell her the truth.*

Do you remember when Lady Omega left- no, when she was expelled from the Shiroboshi School? Me, Lantz and Mikazuki… we went with her.

I’m… I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, or warn you. I really am.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

You and even my elder brother.. I can't believe this. You say you're sorry, but Is it truly forgivable?

Her hands clutched into fists, putting tons of pressure due to her rage.

Why? She murmured.

The flow of the wind coming by and blowing the leaves off of the trees around the school, the wind separated the two by going down the middle of the two. Their paths intertwined into one, yet so far from each other.

[flaming-cerberus]

*Million says nothing. He can’t find anything to say. All he knows is that splitting off from her is breaking his heart, and clearly hers too. He still loves her, more than anything, but he’s already decided. He needs to follow through and follow Omega.*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

I expected this from my elder brother, he admired Aunt Omega like an ancient relic. However, You betrayed me. You betrayed me. YOU BETRAYED ME!

Are you leaving me like how Aunt Omega left Tenka?!

Emika's breath and her heart began racing, she released a sob from the mental pain she just felt. She was going to be out of her control. Her eyes began to get red and puffy. This was so unusual of her, Million definitely broke her heart.

[flaming-cerberus]

Emika, no! Please calm down! You’re gonna- kgh!

*he can see that words won’t reach her right now. Hearing her breathing, he begins to worry for her and ends up making a decision that tears his heart in two to think about, to risk hurting Emika, but he doesn’t see another way to get her to calm down. Apologizing to her in his mind, he leaps forward and tackles her to the ground, covering her mouth with his hand.*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

She was taken aback by his sudden action, the two of them landed on the dirt ground, stains all over her pure white and red attire. Get— OFF OF ME— TRAITOR—!

Emika was kicking Million to get him off of her. Her eyes were blood shot and red. LET GO OF ME— She struggled to keep still.

[flaming-cerberus]

CALM DOWN! You’ve gotta control your breathing! You’re hyperventilating, you’re gonna hurt yourself! Please, just calm yourself!

*he holds her there, but not tightly. His eyes are soft and clearly show that he doesn’t want to hurt her*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika looked at Million, seeing his soft eyes and feeling his gentle touch. It was weird to see his eyes so soft, she gave those same eyes in return realizing he wasn't going to hurt her.

She had completely stopped struggling. The air from her mouth was making Million's hand very warm. Her breath began to steady too.

[flaming-cerberus]

There you go, you’re okay-

*suddenly, he ducks down, pushing Emika down so they’re hidden by the bushes. He puts his finger to his mouth to signal Emika to stay quiet, then peeks over the bushes to see whose rustling footsteps he had heard.*

Tenka! Dammit-

*as soon as she looked away, he tugged Emika up to standing and hid with her behind a tree*

Stay still.

( @white-stxr sorry for tag!)

[shiroboshi-style]

She came running out and looked exhausted, her breath trying to catch air and sweat dripped.

Emika! Cousin Emika, Where are you?! I swore I heard you!

Tenka yelled as she glanced in the direction, but couldn't see anything from beyond the darkness.

Where are you...? She turned and began walking away.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika was quiet, feeling Million's hands pull her closer, feeling her head placed upon his chest. She also watched Tenka leave. She looked up at Million, seeing his face as he turned towards her.

Why...why did you betray us? She said in a whisper

( @flaming-cerberus )

[flaming-cerberus]

…I had to choose. Between staying here with you, or following Lady Omega. I had to choose one path.

Lantz and Mikazuki are going this way too. I don’t think anyone could change that now. We’ve taken the first steps, and we can’t go back now.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Why Aunt Omega? Was it because Mikazuki and Lantz went that way too? Leaving me behind because my brother and Lantz chose that path?

It was unbearable, Emika was asking so many questions Million most likely couldn't have an answer to. She was grabbing onto his shirt and tugging at it as a way of her still soft anger.

[flaming-cerberus]

*million passes his hand through her hair slowly, trying to calm her down. Shame washes over him when she asks*

…I can’t give you an answer. I’m sorry.

It’s not anyone’s fault. Not Mikazuki’s, not Lantz’s, and certainly not yours. It’s my choice, and my choice alone.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

(START OF THE MIRIKA WEDDING CHAIN!)

Emika was getting ready, she sighs, looking at her attire. The snow white shiromuku on top of her. She looked towards Tenka.

Tenka, thank you so much for helping me out and making this day possible.. All of the Shiroboshi members are also welcome guests since we are using the garden after all....

My dearest cousin.. Is everything ready? If so then you can let everybody in.

( @flaming-cerberus , @white-stxr , @lantz-zodiac , and @mikazuki-crescentpriest )

[flaming-cerberus]

It’s finally time… can’t even believe this. Everyone really came together to make this happen, and I want to that you all before we start. Tenka, for assisting my Emika as her bridesmaid, Mikazuki, for being the one to actually marry us, and even Lantz, for agreeing to the truce so you could be my best man. I know I haven’t said this, but… I’m grateful for all of you.

*he blushes and turns away, shy that he’s admitting his respect for all of them despite his nature*

This is gonna be perfect. I- No, we’ll make sure of it.

[lantz-zodiac]

... Thanking me.

Hey, Million. You're blushing red, going out of your nature are you? I would love to make fun of you right now, but we're having a truce. Just be grateful for us.

[flaming-cerberus]

You- Ugh, never mind. Thanks a bunch or whatever.

*he huffs and resists the urge to stick his tongue out at Lantz before realizing how childish that seems*

And now we just wait for everyone to get here…

*a few minutes later, he’s been tapping his foot and tugging at his collar awkwardly*

…Would you excuse us for a second?

*he grabs Lantz by the sleeve and pulls him off to a quiet corner*

( @lantz-zodiac )

[lantz-zodiac]

Hey, what's the deal with this?! Why are we both in a corner? Now you got my glasses dirty.

Lantz takes off his glasses and wipes them with a cloth he kept on his person, before sighing and turning towards Million. Now, on with your words. What is it you want to say?

[flaming-cerberus]

I think I’m gonna pass out.

I’m getting married, Lantz! What if I mess something up and embarrass myself, or embarrass her? And we’re gonna spend the rest of our lives together?! Every day, I’m gonna wake up to her laying there beside me?! How is this real?! How did she choose me? What if she decides she doesn’t want to be with me anymore? And when we become parents-

*he wipes his hands on his shirt as they’re dripping with sweat*

What do I do?

[lantz-zodiac]

Please don't pass out at this time.

Million, you'll be fine. I promise you that you will be fine. I know you're nervous, but you both will be spending your life together, I was never really accepting of your relationship, however I am getting used to it.

Emika chose you for a reason, I don't exactly know why, but she did. Just stay calm, there's no doubt that Emika will ever leave you, look at the both of you. She won't be leaving anytime. She loves you dearly, probably until you both die but whatever.

Also now's not the time to think about parenting. Think about this first.

[flaming-cerberus]

Hah… I hate to say it, but you’re right. This is all I’ve wanted and more, so I’ll be just fine no matter what. Still a bit stressed though…

Hold on, did the Lantz Roji just say that he was getting used to us? And you looked worried about me? You must have a fever or something!

*he places a palm on Lantz’s head, snickering to himself*

[lantz-zodiac]

... How about the punch you?

He sighs and pulls the palm off of his head. Your hands are sweaty, don't touch me. Probably from all of the anxious sweating.

[flaming-cerberus]

Heh, I guess so.

…I know Emika loves me. She spends tons of time building me up and telling me how beautiful I am.

It’s only fair that I trust her.

*he reaches up and pulls the collar he always wears off, revealing the face he’s so insecure about*

I don’t need to hide from her. She deserves to see me. All of me.

Now let’s go. I don’t want to make her wait any longer than I need to.

[lantz-zodiac]

Lantz gave a satisfied smile. Seeing the collar getting tossed across the yard. Hey, we are going to pick that up sooner or later.

You know this is actually one of the first times I have seen you like this.

He shakes his head, before leaving

[flaming-cerberus]

Guess it’s cause it’s a special day. Keep acting the way you usually do though and you’ll never see it again.

*he follows after Lantz, coming back to Emika*

I’m back, sunshine.

*he plays with his clothing and blushes at the surprise from Emika as she sees his face uncovered*

( @lady-kurobarapriestess )

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Oh my... She gave a look of surprise and her hand went to her mouth. Her eyes were shining like sunlight, but she ended up smiling.

Million, my dearest...you look amazing. Did you really, just for this?

[flaming-cerberus]

Of course. You’re always telling me that I’m handsome, so I figured I might as well show it off today. Special occasion, am I right?

Plus, this way it won’t get in the way for the kiss.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Well, of course you are.. I am glad that you wanted to let go of your insecurities just for this moment. It makes me proud of you by a lot.

Don't ever be afraid to show who you are..

I wish I could kiss your face, but we have to wait..

[flaming-cerberus]

You’ve made me a lot more confident. I wouldn’t dream of hiding from you.

As for kisses, I don’t think we’ll have to wait much longer. Looks like a lot of guests have arrived.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Yeah, a lot sure did... Do you want to go meet up with Persona? Multi just arrived I just heard from Tenka. Perhaps you want to get to know them better? Unlike Lantz here....

[flaming-cerberus]

Why not? I know how much you like them.

I’m gonna keep my distance from Jaxon Cross, if he’s here. The little devil keeps asking me to battle or have a “sushi contest”, whatever that means.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Well obviously Jaxon Cross will be there, as he is a member of Team Persona....Speaking of Persona, they might be on edge, because of what Lantz did, but I'm sure they won't have a problem with you.

A sushi contest really? It probably just means eat as much sushi as you can, that is what I can assume.

Let's go.. She took his hand and brought him over to Persona's table

( @personas-baby-bird , @teampersona4life , @xsushibladerx , @white-stxr sorry for mentions!)

[teampersona4life]

Multi watches helplessly as Ciel zips away from the scene after seeing Million.

( Guess Ciel still doesn’t like him that much— oh well, at least he didn’t stay to glare. )

Multi bows her head to both of them.

Lady Emika… Million Mizu.

I’m grateful that Team Persona was allowed to attend today on your special day— and I thank you for reserving chairs for us as well. She lifts her head. Oh that’s right— Tenka?

( @white-stxr )

Multi’s face forms an awkward expression as she whispers to Tenka.

I’ve never physically been at a wedding before, where should I give put the envelope of money that Persona got together for them?

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

She also watched Ciel leave the scene. Perhaps she also knows what happened, she watched that exact stream.

[Emika thought to herself : Guess he still remembers huh?]

Emika began to squeeze Million's hand tightly, like really tight, but not much to hurt him then she taps his foot with her zori. Basically signaling to tell him to apologize. Before returning her gaze at Multi. A smile shined on her soft face.

It's an honor, Multi..glad that you were able to attend, it brings so much joy to my soul. After all you guys really helped me and Tenka so much, it's the best we could do.. Just have a good time alright? Emika gave Multi a soft and soothing smile on her fair skinned face. Watching her soul from afar.

[teampersona4life]

Multi smiles back, positively beaming.

We definitely will! And it’s no problem at all. Persona is always glad to be able to help friends.

She then turns around.

Oh— I think your soon-to-be husband and Ciel are coming back! …Wait. Multi turns back to Emika. Did you…?

She seems to think better of it as the smile on Emika’s face widens and Multi shakes her head. She turns to wave at the other two Bladers.

Million! Ciel!

( @flaming-cerberus , @king-of-amateurs )

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Perhaps I did... Emika turned towards Million and Ciel as they both return

Welcome back you too, I hope you guys were able to patch things up.

[king-of-amateurs]

Ciel came to a stop and bowed in front of Emika. Oh— Lady Emika! Yeah, Million and I were able to settle things. Not fully, but just enough.

Also, I’m thankful that you allowed me to attend last minute even when I said I wouldn’t come. I hope you have the most wonderful wedding ever!

Ciel then turned to Multi and shot her a small warm smile. Despite what Million told him earlier he still felt that Multi and him were very much good friends. Maybe a little more, but not anything romantic.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

I see.. That's good. And of course, Ciel! It's an honor to have you here with us, it means a lot to me and Million! Hope you enjoy the ceremony.

Emika turned towards the table for Persona and thought to herself, with her hand on her chin. She was in deep thought. Before she switched back to Ciel. You're welcome to sit at the reserved table for Persona! Especially since they bought you here themselves, Multi mainly.

That's my treat to you as well.

[king-of-amateurs]

Ciel looks taken aback by Emika’s kind gesture. After the surprised expression on his face briefly passed he began to bow. W-wait, you mean it? Thank you very much!

And without a second thought, he happily goes over to Multi, trying not to look too pleased with himself. Multi is smiling back at him and takes his hand to lead him to his seat.

Ciel turns back around and waves before she can do so.

All of us will definitely enjoy the ceremony— I hope it’s starting soon!

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika gave her signature smile that radiated. It will soon! Right, Million? Everything should be ready to go..all we need are Tenka and Lantz to come along.

( @flaming-cerberus )

[flaming-cerberus]

Yeah, looks like all’s settled and we can go on soon. Believe me, I don’t want to wait any more than you do. Let’s find our bridesmaid and best man so we can get married!

Lantz! Where’d you go? Come on, we’re getting started!

( @lantz-zodiac )

[lantz-zodiac]

Lantz had finished cleaning his glasses, his head turned to Million. He simply nodded. I'll be there right now.

He began to walk over to Million. You're still nervous aren't you? I can definitely tell.

[flaming-cerberus]

A bit, but it’s fine. This is the day I’ve been dreaming of. It’s gonna be amazing, I just know it!

Now, Emika, let’s go get married!

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika nodded. Yeah! This is definitely going to be amazing! I can't wait for it either, now let us..

She reached out for his hand

[flaming-cerberus]

*he takes her hand, smiling brighter than ever*

I love you. And I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

*his slightly scratchy voice and calloused hands against Emika’s light, melodic voice and soft hands create a perfect contrast. A perfect contrast, just like their personalities. Million with his rough exterior and a soft side hidden deep within, Emika with her bright, sweet outside and a fire burning within her, they fit like two pieces of a puzzle. Like yin and yang. The priestess and Cerberus, an unusual pair, but one that is meant to be.*

Together, always.

*As they walk side by side, hand in hand, the guests turn their heads and pay attention. Even Blader X settles down (a miracle, really). *

I’m so glad it’s you I’m here with, Emika. 

*he smiles and squeezes her hand with tears forming in his eyes, his smile lighting up his whole face with the sheer joy of the moment*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

We will spend our lives together until the day we get our souls carried to the other side.

Emika grabbed his hand, and she began taking him down the aisle. Her hand began tying around his. The snowy white Shiromuku with the red accents shined brightly with Million's Montsuki, a perfect contrast of black and white.

Emika's red eyes look up at Million, looking into his canine shines, she just smiled. Glad it was with you too, things would have been very different if I didn't choose you, wouldn't they? Emika notices him squeezing her hand, along with the tears. They were also forming in her eyes, but it was light.

I love you, Million Mizu..

[flaming-cerberus]

I love you too, Emika Kurobara, with all my heart…

*finally, after all the time spent waiting, from their separation at the Shiroboshi School to their reunion, the pair reached the altar at the end of the aisle where Mikazuki waited.*

…and all my soul.

*standing there, in front of so many people, about to be married to the love of his life, Million felt as if his heart would explode. His grin lit his face like a candle, and all for Emika.*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika held his hand tightly, the rough and calloused surface rubbed against her delicate and smooth warmth of her hand. Million, don't worry about the others behind us, focus on me and Mikazuki in front of you. That's all your mind needs to be at right now.

We will be officially married soon, my dear. Be ready for our vows soon.

[flaming-cerberus]

Haaaaaa…

*he breathes out heavily, trying to release his tension. He succeeds partially, with his shoulders relaxing but his mind still racing.*

Yeah. Okay, I can do that. The vows. That’s all I need to worry about.

*he talks to himself out loud before breathing out once more and turning to Mikazuki*

I’m ready if she is.

( @mikazuki-crescentpriest I hand it off to you)

[mikazuki-crescentpriest]

Mikazuki nodded.

Today we gather these two. The Miko and the flame canine. Both purities will become one. To the deities they show, the two will be worth all the love from the beyond. to die is to live, to live is to die.

He bows and continues

Million Mizu, you take Miko, Emika Kurobara, to be her husband? Emika Kurobara, you take the flaming canine, Million Mizu, to be his wife? The deities will bring you two closer to each other's heart, soul, and physicality. Now the vows may commence. He bowed again.

(Miko is Shrine Maiden fyi!)

[flaming-cerberus]

*million clears his throat and smiles as he speaks with pure love in his voice and eyes*

Emika, my love, my sunshine, light of my life. From the day I first saw you in the Shiroboshi school, I knew you would be important to me. It was the way you smile, where it reaches your eyes, the kind of thing I hadn’t seen in so long, that first showed me how wonderful you are.

   I love your passion when you talk about your archery or your hobbies, your ferocity when you defend who we are and our love, and the pure love and joy in your heart when you tell me about your job as a priestess and all the souls you met that day. 

  I promise to protect you with my whole self, to love you no matter what comes our way, to listen to you talk about everything and nothing, to kiss you goodbye any time I leave, and to never forget our important days. 

  Spending the rest of my life with you feels like a dream, and I can’t wait to make a beautiful future with you by my side!

*he’s holding back tears of joy the whole time, seeing his beautiful bride across from him and imagining the life ahead of them*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika's eyes began to water as well. Hearing him talk about her in such a loving way made her do that exact smile he talked about.

Oh, Million...you were the brightest flame that I have met. Something about those eyes and the hair made me want to get closer. Speaking that you were always chasing me around, I never wanted to speak to you until you actually finally did yourself.

I still remember when we first met, you had beaten up some of the students of this school. But I am happy she took you in. I wonder what would've happened if she hasnt.

I am happy you taught me beyblade, as I wasn't interested in it. I managed to give my all for Persona and to reach you at the top of the X.

I am grateful to all of the gods and deities that brought us together. To all of my ancestors who are watching from above, allow Million into the Kurobara and give him good fortune..

She pressed her head to her hands, bowing down.

Let me love him eternally. Allow him into the family, dearest ancestors and gods and deities. Shinto Miko Emika bows to all.

Emika raises her head and gazes at Million, still smiling.

[flaming-cerberus]

*million stares into her eyes, cheeks flushed pink and eyes watering. To hear her speak so highly of him, in front of so many people; his heart felt like it was about to explode*

I want to love you eternally as well. Until the day I die, I will love you with all my heart!

*he slides his fingers in between hers, interlocking them together*

I’ll hold you close to me until then.

[mikazuki-crescentpriest]

Mikazuki looks between the two and closes his book. Now you may kiss, to bring each other's souls into one.

[flaming-cerberus]

*with that, Million pulls Emika close to him and, not wanting to wait a second longer, kisses her. The spectators applaud, but all Million can think about is the life he’ll build with Emika. He can almost see it now… a beautiful home, beautiful kids, and of course his beautiful wife.*

*His wife. It felt so good to say, or rather think, that Emika was his wife. *

*A single tear of joy fell from his eye as he opened them once again, looking at Emika in all her glory and knowing that he was hers. Joy overwhelmed him, and he cried out happily:*

I love you, Emika! I really love you!

*wrapping his arms around her waist, he lifts her up with the biggest smile on his face. Seeing her smile back made his heart soar, and he knew he’d make sure that she smiled like that every single day.*

There was another day of ambushes at the Shiroboshi School. Tenka had warned Emika of one of these.

Today was different however, she saw somebody targeting a few students and defeating them. Emika quickly ran over to protect them, but upon seeing the one who was doing all of the ambushes.

[flaming-cerberus]

(oh I am so down)

Emika…? What are you doing here? He said- You were supposed to be inside! You… weren’t supposed to see me…

*he’s frozen on the spot. His arms had fallen to the sides and the launcher to the floor, any need for it now long gone as he was faced with his beloved looking at him as if he was a ghost*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika felt conflicted, her jaw dropped and shook with uncertainty.

Million...where were you, Lantz, and Mikazuki..? Me and Tenka were searching for you three for DAYS! Out of the three, only you showed up? Also what do you mean I wasn't supposed to see you, who told you that I would be inside?!

[flaming-cerberus]

*he cringes back when Emika shouts, realizing how mad she must be. He knows that all he can do is tell her the truth.*

Do you remember when Lady Omega left- no, when she was expelled from the Shiroboshi School? Me, Lantz and Mikazuki… we went with her.

I’m… I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, or warn you. I really am.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

You and even my elder brother.. I can't believe this. You say you're sorry, but Is it truly forgivable?

Her hands clutched into fists, putting tons of pressure due to her rage.

Why? She murmured.

The flow of the wind coming by and blowing the leaves off of the trees around the school, the wind separated the two by going down the middle of the two. Their paths intertwined into one, yet so far from each other.

[flaming-cerberus]

*Million says nothing. He can’t find anything to say. All he knows is that splitting off from her is breaking his heart, and clearly hers too. He still loves her, more than anything, but he’s already decided. He needs to follow through and follow Omega.*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

I expected this from my elder brother, he admired Aunt Omega like an ancient relic. However, You betrayed me. You betrayed me. YOU BETRAYED ME!

Are you leaving me like how Aunt Omega left Tenka?!

Emika's breath and her heart began racing, she released a sob from the mental pain she just felt. She was going to be out of her control. Her eyes began to get red and puffy. This was so unusual of her, Million definitely broke her heart.

[flaming-cerberus]

Emika, no! Please calm down! You’re gonna- kgh!

*he can see that words won’t reach her right now. Hearing her breathing, he begins to worry for her and ends up making a decision that tears his heart in two to think about, to risk hurting Emika, but he doesn’t see another way to get her to calm down. Apologizing to her in his mind, he leaps forward and tackles her to the ground, covering her mouth with his hand.*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

She was taken aback by his sudden action, the two of them landed on the dirt ground, stains all over her pure white and red attire. Get— OFF OF ME— TRAITOR—!

Emika was kicking Million to get him off of her. Her eyes were blood shot and red. LET GO OF ME— She struggled to keep still.

[flaming-cerberus]

CALM DOWN! You’ve gotta control your breathing! You’re hyperventilating, you’re gonna hurt yourself! Please, just calm yourself!

*he holds her there, but not tightly. His eyes are soft and clearly show that he doesn’t want to hurt her*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika looked at Million, seeing his soft eyes and feeling his gentle touch. It was weird to see his eyes so soft, she gave those same eyes in return realizing he wasn't going to hurt her.

She had completely stopped struggling. The air from her mouth was making Million's hand very warm. Her breath began to steady too.

[flaming-cerberus]

There you go, you’re okay-

*suddenly, he ducks down, pushing Emika down so they’re hidden by the bushes. He puts his finger to his mouth to signal Emika to stay quiet, then peeks over the bushes to see whose rustling footsteps he had heard.*

Tenka! Dammit-

*as soon as she looked away, he tugged Emika up to standing and hid with her behind a tree*

Stay still.

( @white-stxr sorry for tag!)

[shiroboshi-style]

She came running out and looked exhausted, her breath trying to catch air and sweat dripped.

Emika! Cousin Emika, Where are you?! I swore I heard you!

Tenka yelled as she glanced in the direction, but couldn't see anything from beyond the darkness.

Where are you...? She turned and began walking away.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika was quiet, feeling Million's hands pull her closer, feeling her head placed upon his chest. She also watched Tenka leave. She looked up at Million, seeing his face as he turned towards her.

Why...why did you betray us? She said in a whisper

( @flaming-cerberus )

[flaming-cerberus]

…I had to choose. Between staying here with you, or following Lady Omega. I had to choose one path.

Lantz and Mikazuki are going this way too. I don’t think anyone could change that now. We’ve taken the first steps, and we can’t go back now.

Emika was getting ready, she sighs, looking at her attire. The snow white shiromuku on top of her. She looked towards Tenka.

Tenka, thank you so much for helping me out and making this day possible.. All of the Shiroboshi members are also welcome guests since we are using the garden after all....

My dearest cousin.. Is everything ready? If so then you can let everybody in.

( @flaming-cerberus , @white-stxr , @lantz-zodiac , and @mikazuki-crescentpriest )

[flaming-cerberus]

It’s finally time… can’t even believe this. Everyone really came together to make this happen, and I want to that you all before we start. Tenka, for assisting my Emika as her bridesmaid, Mikazuki, for being the one to actually marry us, and even Lantz, for agreeing to the truce so you could be my best man. I know I haven’t said this, but… I’m grateful for all of you.

*he blushes and turns away, shy that he’s admitting his respect for all of them despite his nature*

This is gonna be perfect. I- No, we’ll make sure of it.

[lantz-zodiac]

... Thanking me.

Hey, Million. You're blushing red, going out of your nature are you? I would love to make fun of you right now, but we're having a truce. Just be grateful for us.

[flaming-cerberus]

You- Ugh, never mind. Thanks a bunch or whatever.

*he huffs and resists the urge to stick his tongue out at Lantz before realizing how childish that seems*

And now we just wait for everyone to get here…

*a few minutes later, he’s been tapping his foot and tugging at his collar awkwardly*

…Would you excuse us for a second?

*he grabs Lantz by the sleeve and pulls him off to a quiet corner*

( @lantz-zodiac )

[lantz-zodiac]

Hey, what's the deal with this?! Why are we both in a corner? Now you got my glasses dirty.

Lantz takes off his glasses and wipes them with a cloth he kept on his person, before sighing and turning towards Million. Now, on with your words. What is it you want to say?

[flaming-cerberus]

I think I’m gonna pass out.

I’m getting married, Lantz! What if I mess something up and embarrass myself, or embarrass her? And we’re gonna spend the rest of our lives together?! Every day, I’m gonna wake up to her laying there beside me?! How is this real?! How did she choose me? What if she decides she doesn’t want to be with me anymore? And when we become parents-

*he wipes his hands on his shirt as they’re dripping with sweat*

What do I do?

[lantz-zodiac]

Please don't pass out at this time.

Million, you'll be fine. I promise you that you will be fine. I know you're nervous, but you both will be spending your life together, I was never really accepting of your relationship, however I am getting used to it.

Emika chose you for a reason, I don't exactly know why, but she did. Just stay calm, there's no doubt that Emika will ever leave you, look at the both of you. She won't be leaving anytime. She loves you dearly, probably until you both die but whatever.

Also now's not the time to think about parenting. Think about this first.

[flaming-cerberus]

Hah… I hate to say it, but you’re right. This is all I’ve wanted and more, so I’ll be just fine no matter what. Still a bit stressed though…

Hold on, did the Lantz Roji just say that he was getting used to us? And you looked worried about me? You must have a fever or something!

*he places a palm on Lantz’s head, snickering to himself*

[lantz-zodiac]

... How about the punch you?

He sighs and pulls the palm off of his head. Your hands are sweaty, don't touch me. Probably from all of the anxious sweating.

[flaming-cerberus]

Heh, I guess so.

…I know Emika loves me. She spends tons of time building me up and telling me how beautiful I am.

It’s only fair that I trust her.

*he reaches up and pulls the collar he always wears off, revealing the face he’s so insecure about*

I don’t need to hide from her. She deserves to see me. All of me.

Now let’s go. I don’t want to make her wait any longer than I need to.

[lantz-zodiac]

Lantz gave a satisfied smile. Seeing the collar getting tossed across the yard. Hey, we are going to pick that up sooner or later.

You know this is actually one of the first times I have seen you like this.

He shakes his head, before leaving

[flaming-cerberus]

Guess it’s cause it’s a special day. Keep acting the way you usually do though and you’ll never see it again.

*he follows after Lantz, coming back to Emika*

I’m back, sunshine.

*he plays with his clothing and blushes at the surprise from Emika as she sees his face uncovered*

( @lady-kurobarapriestess )

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Oh my... She gave a look of surprise and her hand went to her mouth. Her eyes were shining like sunlight, but she ended up smiling.

Million, my dearest...you look amazing. Did you really, just for this?

[flaming-cerberus]

Of course. You’re always telling me that I’m handsome, so I figured I might as well show it off today. Special occasion, am I right?

Plus, this way it won’t get in the way for the kiss.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Well, of course you are.. I am glad that you wanted to let go of your insecurities just for this moment. It makes me proud of you by a lot.

Don't ever be afraid to show who you are..

I wish I could kiss your face, but we have to wait..

[flaming-cerberus]

You’ve made me a lot more confident. I wouldn’t dream of hiding from you.

As for kisses, I don’t think we’ll have to wait much longer. Looks like a lot of guests have arrived.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Yeah, a lot sure did... Do you want to go meet up with Persona? Multi just arrived I just heard from Tenka. Perhaps you want to get to know them better? Unlike Lantz here....

[flaming-cerberus]

Why not? I know how much you like them.

I’m gonna keep my distance from Jaxon Cross, if he’s here. The little devil keeps asking me to battle or have a “sushi contest”, whatever that means.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Well obviously Jaxon Cross will be there, as he is a member of Team Persona....Speaking of Persona, they might be on edge, because of what Lantz did, but I'm sure they won't have a problem with you.

A sushi contest really? It probably just means eat as much sushi as you can, that is what I can assume.

Let's go.. She took his hand and brought him over to Persona's table

( @personas-baby-bird , @teampersona4life , @xsushibladerx , @white-stxr sorry for mentions!)

[teampersona4life]

Multi watches helplessly as Ciel zips away from the scene after seeing Million.

( Guess Ciel still doesn’t like him that much— oh well, at least he didn’t stay to glare. )

Multi bows her head to both of them.

Lady Emika… Million Mizu.

I’m grateful that Team Persona was allowed to attend today on your special day— and I thank you for reserving chairs for us as well. She lifts her head. Oh that’s right— Tenka?

( @white-stxr )

Multi’s face forms an awkward expression as she whispers to Tenka.

I’ve never physically been at a wedding before, where should I give put the envelope of money that Persona got together for them?

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

She also watched Ciel leave the scene. Perhaps she also knows what happened, she watched that exact stream.

[Emika thought to herself : Guess he still remembers huh?]

Emika began to squeeze Million's hand tightly, like really tight, but not much to hurt him then she taps his foot with her zori. Basically signaling to tell him to apologize. Before returning her gaze at Multi. A smile shined on her soft face.

It's an honor, Multi..glad that you were able to attend, it brings so much joy to my soul. After all you guys really helped me and Tenka so much, it's the best we could do.. Just have a good time alright? Emika gave Multi a soft and soothing smile on her fair skinned face. Watching her soul from afar.

[teampersona4life]

Multi smiles back, positively beaming.

We definitely will! And it’s no problem at all. Persona is always glad to be able to help friends.

She then turns around.

Oh— I think your soon-to-be husband and Ciel are coming back! …Wait. Multi turns back to Emika. Did you…?

She seems to think better of it as the smile on Emika’s face widens and Multi shakes her head. She turns to wave at the other two Bladers.

Million! Ciel!

( @flaming-cerberus , @king-of-amateurs )

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Perhaps I did... Emika turned towards Million and Ciel as they both return

Welcome back you too, I hope you guys were able to patch things up.

[king-of-amateurs]

Ciel came to a stop and bowed in front of Emika. Oh— Lady Emika! Yeah, Million and I were able to settle things. Not fully, but just enough.

Also, I’m thankful that you allowed me to attend last minute even when I said I wouldn’t come. I hope you have the most wonderful wedding ever!

Ciel then turned to Multi and shot her a small warm smile. Despite what Million told him earlier he still felt that Multi and him were very much good friends. Maybe a little more, but not anything romantic.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

I see.. That's good. And of course, Ciel! It's an honor to have you here with us, it means a lot to me and Million! Hope you enjoy the ceremony.

Emika turned towards the table for Persona and thought to herself, with her hand on her chin. She was in deep thought. Before she switched back to Ciel. You're welcome to sit at the reserved table for Persona! Especially since they bought you here themselves, Multi mainly.

That's my treat to you as well.

[king-of-amateurs]

Ciel looks taken aback by Emika’s kind gesture. After the surprised expression on his face briefly passed he began to bow. W-wait, you mean it? Thank you very much!

And without a second thought, he happily goes over to Multi, trying not to look too pleased with himself. Multi is smiling back at him and takes his hand to lead him to his seat.

Ciel turns back around and waves before she can do so.

All of us will definitely enjoy the ceremony— I hope it’s starting soon!

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika gave her signature smile that radiated. It will soon! Right, Million? Everything should be ready to go..all we need are Tenka and Lantz to come along.

( @flaming-cerberus )

[flaming-cerberus]

Yeah, looks like all’s settled and we can go on soon. Believe me, I don’t want to wait any more than you do. Let’s find our bridesmaid and best man so we can get married!

Lantz! Where’d you go? Come on, we’re getting started!

( @lantz-zodiac )

[lantz-zodiac]

Lantz had finished cleaning his glasses, his head turned to Million. He simply nodded. I'll be there right now.

He began to walk over to Million. You're still nervous aren't you? I can definitely tell.

[flaming-cerberus]

A bit, but it’s fine. This is the day I’ve been dreaming of. It’s gonna be amazing, I just know it!

Now, Emika, let’s go get married!

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika nodded. Yeah! This is definitely going to be amazing! I can't wait for it either, now let us..

She reached out for his hand

[flaming-cerberus]

*he takes her hand, smiling brighter than ever*

I love you. And I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

*his slightly scratchy voice and calloused hands against Emika’s light, melodic voice and soft hands create a perfect contrast. A perfect contrast, just like their personalities. Million with his rough exterior and a soft side hidden deep within, Emika with her bright, sweet outside and a fire burning within her, they fit like two pieces of a puzzle. Like yin and yang. The priestess and Cerberus, an unusual pair, but one that is meant to be.*

Together, always.

*As they walk side by side, hand in hand, the guests turn their heads and pay attention. Even Blader X settles down (a miracle, really). *

I’m so glad it’s you I’m here with, Emika. 

*he smiles and squeezes her hand with tears forming in his eyes, his smile lighting up his whole face with the sheer joy of the moment*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

We will spend our lives together until the day we get our souls carried to the other side.

Emika grabbed his hand, and she began taking him down the aisle. Her hand began tying around his. The snowy white Shiromuku with the red accents shined brightly with Million's Montsuki, a perfect contrast of black and white.

Emika's red eyes look up at Million, looking into his canine shines, she just smiled. Glad it was with you too, things would have been very different if I didn't choose you, wouldn't they? Emika notices him squeezing her hand, along with the tears. They were also forming in her eyes, but it was light.

I love you, Million Mizu..

[flaming-cerberus]

I love you too, Emika Kurobara, with all my heart…

*finally, after all the time spent waiting, from their separation at the Shiroboshi School to their reunion, the pair reached the altar at the end of the aisle where Mikazuki waited.*

…and all my soul.

*standing there, in front of so many people, about to be married to the love of his life, Million felt as if his heart would explode. His grin lit his face like a candle, and all for Emika.*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika held his hand tightly, the rough and calloused surface rubbed against her delicate and smooth warmth of her hand. Million, don't worry about the others behind us, focus on me and Mikazuki in front of you. That's all your mind needs to be at right now.

We will be officially married soon, my dear. Be ready for our vows soon.

[flaming-cerberus]

Haaaaaa…

*he breathes out heavily, trying to release his tension. He succeeds partially, with his shoulders relaxing but his mind still racing.*

Yeah. Okay, I can do that. The vows. That’s all I need to worry about.

*he talks to himself out loud before breathing out once more and turning to Mikazuki*

I’m ready if she is.

( @mikazuki-crescentpriest I hand it off to you)

[mikazuki-crescentpriest]

Mikazuki nodded.

Today we gather these two. The Miko and the flame canine. Both purities will become one. To the deities they show, the two will be worth all the love from the beyond. to die is to live, to live is to die.

He bows and continues

Million Mizu, you take Miko, Emika Kurobara, to be her husband? Emika Kurobara, you take the flaming canine, Million Mizu, to be his wife? The deities will bring you two closer to each other's heart, soul, and physicality. Now the vows may commence. He bowed again.

(Miko is Shrine Maiden fyi!)

[flaming-cerberus]

*million clears his throat and smiles as he speaks with pure love in his voice and eyes*

Emika, my love, my sunshine, light of my life. From the day I first saw you in the Shiroboshi school, I knew you would be important to me. It was the way you smile, where it reaches your eyes, the kind of thing I hadn’t seen in so long, that first showed me how wonderful you are.

   I love your passion when you talk about your archery or your hobbies, your ferocity when you defend who we are and our love, and the pure love and joy in your heart when you tell me about your job as a priestess and all the souls you met that day. 

  I promise to protect you with my whole self, to love you no matter what comes our way, to listen to you talk about everything and nothing, to kiss you goodbye any time I leave, and to never forget our important days. 

  Spending the rest of my life with you feels like a dream, and I can’t wait to make a beautiful future with you by my side!

*he’s holding back tears of joy the whole time, seeing his beautiful bride across from him and imagining the life ahead of them*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika's eyes began to water as well. Hearing him talk about her in such a loving way made her do that exact smile he talked about.

Oh, Million...you were the brightest flame that I have met. Something about those eyes and the hair made me want to get closer. Speaking that you were always chasing me around, I never wanted to speak to you until you actually finally did yourself.

I still remember when we first met, you had beaten up some of the students of this school. But I am happy she took you in. I wonder what would've happened if she hasnt.

I am happy you taught me beyblade, as I wasn't interested in it. I managed to give my all for Persona and to reach you at the top of the X.

I am grateful to all of the gods and deities that brought us together. To all of my ancestors who are watching from above, allow Million into the Kurobara and give him good fortune..

She pressed her head to her hands, bowing down.

Let me love him eternally. Allow him into the family, dearest ancestors and gods and deities. Shinto Miko Emika bows to all.

Emika raises her head and gazes at Million, still smiling.

[flaming-cerberus]

*million stares into her eyes, cheeks flushed pink and eyes watering. To hear her speak so highly of him, in front of so many people; his heart felt like it was about to explode*

I want to love you eternally as well. Until the day I die, I will love you with all my heart!

*he slides his fingers in between hers, interlocking them together*

I’ll hold you close to me until then.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

(START OF THE MIRIKA WEDDING CHAIN!)

Emika was getting ready, she sighs, looking at her attire. The snow white shiromuku on top of her. She looked towards Tenka.

Tenka, thank you so much for helping me out and making this day possible.. All of the Shiroboshi members are also welcome guests since we are using the garden after all....

*finally, after all the time spent waiting, from their separation at the Shiroboshi School to their reunion, the pair reached the altar at the end of the aisle where Mikazuki waited.*

…and all my soul.

*standing there, in front of so many people, about to be married to the love of his life, Million felt as if his heart would explode. His grin lit his face like a candle, and all for Emika.*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika held his hand tightly, the rough and calloused surface rubbed against her delicate and smooth warmth of her hand. Million, don't worry about the others behind us, focus on me and Mikazuki in front of you. That's all your mind needs to be at right now.

We will be officially married soon, my dear. Be ready for our vows soon.

[flaming-cerberus]

Haaaaaa…

*he breathes out heavily, trying to release his tension. He succeeds partially, with his shoulders relaxing but his mind still racing.*

Yeah. Okay, I can do that. The vows. That’s all I need to worry about.

*he talks to himself out loud before breathing out once more and turning to Mikazuki*

I’m ready if she is.

( @mikazuki-crescentpriest I hand it off to you)

[mikazuki-crescentpriest]

Mikazuki nodded.

Today we gather these two. The Miko and the flame canine. Both purities will become one. To the deities they show, the two will be worth all the love from the beyond. to die is to live, to live is to die.

He bows and continues

Million Mizu, you take Miko, Emika Kurobara, to be her husband? Emika Kurobara, you take the flaming canine, Million Mizu, to be his wife? The deities will bring you two closer to each other's heart, soul, and physicality. Now the vows may commence. He bowed again.

(Miko is Shrine Maiden fyi!)

[flaming-cerberus]

*million clears his throat and smiles as he speaks with pure love in his voice and eyes*

Emika, my love, my sunshine, light of my life. From the day I first saw you in the Shiroboshi school, I knew you would be important to me. It was the way you smile, where it reaches your eyes, the kind of thing I hadn’t seen in so long, that first showed me how wonderful you are.

   I love your passion when you talk about your archery or your hobbies, your ferocity when you defend who we are and our love, and the pure love and joy in your heart when you tell me about your job as a priestess and all the souls you met that day. 

  I promise to protect you with my whole self, to love you no matter what comes our way, to listen to you talk about everything and nothing, to kiss you goodbye any time I leave, and to never forget our important days. 

  Spending the rest of my life with you feels like a dream, and I can’t wait to make a beautiful future with you by my side!

*he’s holding back tears of joy the whole time, seeing his beautiful bride across from him and imagining the life ahead of them*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

(START OF THE MIRIKA WEDDING CHAIN!)

Emika was getting ready, she sighs, looking at her attire. The snow white shiromuku on top of her. She looked towards Tenka.

Tenka, thank you so much for helping me out and making this day possible.. All of the Shiroboshi members are also welcome guests since we are using the garden after all....

My dearest cousin.. Is everything ready? If so then you can let everybody in.

( @flaming-cerberus , @white-stxr , @lantz-zodiac , and @mikazuki-crescentpriest )

[flaming-cerberus]

It’s finally time… can’t even believe this. Everyone really came together to make this happen, and I want to that you all before we start. Tenka, for assisting my Emika as her bridesmaid, Mikazuki, for being the one to actually marry us, and even Lantz, for agreeing to the truce so you could be my best man. I know I haven’t said this, but… I’m grateful for all of you.

*he blushes and turns away, shy that he’s admitting his respect for all of them despite his nature*

This is gonna be perfect. I- No, we’ll make sure of it.

[lantz-zodiac]

... Thanking me.

Hey, Million. You're blushing red, going out of your nature are you? I would love to make fun of you right now, but we're having a truce. Just be grateful for us.

[flaming-cerberus]

You- Ugh, never mind. Thanks a bunch or whatever.

*he huffs and resists the urge to stick his tongue out at Lantz before realizing how childish that seems*

And now we just wait for everyone to get here…

*a few minutes later, he’s been tapping his foot and tugging at his collar awkwardly*

…Would you excuse us for a second?

*he grabs Lantz by the sleeve and pulls him off to a quiet corner*

( @lantz-zodiac )

[lantz-zodiac]

Hey, what's the deal with this?! Why are we both in a corner? Now you got my glasses dirty.

Lantz takes off his glasses and wipes them with a cloth he kept on his person, before sighing and turning towards Million. Now, on with your words. What is it you want to say?

[flaming-cerberus]

I think I’m gonna pass out.

I’m getting married, Lantz! What if I mess something up and embarrass myself, or embarrass her? And we’re gonna spend the rest of our lives together?! Every day, I’m gonna wake up to her laying there beside me?! How is this real?! How did she choose me? What if she decides she doesn’t want to be with me anymore? And when we become parents-

*he wipes his hands on his shirt as they’re dripping with sweat*

What do I do?

[lantz-zodiac]

Please don't pass out at this time.

Million, you'll be fine. I promise you that you will be fine. I know you're nervous, but you both will be spending your life together, I was never really accepting of your relationship, however I am getting used to it.

Emika chose you for a reason, I don't exactly know why, but she did. Just stay calm, there's no doubt that Emika will ever leave you, look at the both of you. She won't be leaving anytime. She loves you dearly, probably until you both die but whatever.

Also now's not the time to think about parenting. Think about this first.

[flaming-cerberus]

Hah… I hate to say it, but you’re right. This is all I’ve wanted and more, so I’ll be just fine no matter what. Still a bit stressed though…

Hold on, did the Lantz Roji just say that he was getting used to us? And you looked worried about me? You must have a fever or something!

*he places a palm on Lantz’s head, snickering to himself*

[lantz-zodiac]

... How about the punch you?

He sighs and pulls the palm off of his head. Your hands are sweaty, don't touch me. Probably from all of the anxious sweating.

[flaming-cerberus]

Heh, I guess so.

…I know Emika loves me. She spends tons of time building me up and telling me how beautiful I am.

It’s only fair that I trust her.

*he reaches up and pulls the collar he always wears off, revealing the face he’s so insecure about*

I don’t need to hide from her. She deserves to see me. All of me.

Now let’s go. I don’t want to make her wait any longer than I need to.

[lantz-zodiac]

Lantz gave a satisfied smile. Seeing the collar getting tossed across the yard. Hey, we are going to pick that up sooner or later.

You know this is actually one of the first times I have seen you like this.

He shakes his head, before leaving

[flaming-cerberus]

Guess it’s cause it’s a special day. Keep acting the way you usually do though and you’ll never see it again.

*he follows after Lantz, coming back to Emika*

I’m back, sunshine.

*he plays with his clothing and blushes at the surprise from Emika as she sees his face uncovered*

( @lady-kurobarapriestess )

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Oh my... She gave a look of surprise and her hand went to her mouth. Her eyes were shining like sunlight, but she ended up smiling.

Million, my dearest...you look amazing. Did you really, just for this?

[flaming-cerberus]

Of course. You’re always telling me that I’m handsome, so I figured I might as well show it off today. Special occasion, am I right?

Plus, this way it won’t get in the way for the kiss.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Well, of course you are.. I am glad that you wanted to let go of your insecurities just for this moment. It makes me proud of you by a lot.

Don't ever be afraid to show who you are..

I wish I could kiss your face, but we have to wait..

[flaming-cerberus]

You’ve made me a lot more confident. I wouldn’t dream of hiding from you.

As for kisses, I don’t think we’ll have to wait much longer. Looks like a lot of guests have arrived.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Yeah, a lot sure did... Do you want to go meet up with Persona? Multi just arrived I just heard from Tenka. Perhaps you want to get to know them better? Unlike Lantz here....

[flaming-cerberus]

Why not? I know how much you like them.

I’m gonna keep my distance from Jaxon Cross, if he’s here. The little devil keeps asking me to battle or have a “sushi contest”, whatever that means.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Well obviously Jaxon Cross will be there, as he is a member of Team Persona....Speaking of Persona, they might be on edge, because of what Lantz did, but I'm sure they won't have a problem with you.

A sushi contest really? It probably just means eat as much sushi as you can, that is what I can assume.

Let's go.. She took his hand and brought him over to Persona's table

( @personas-baby-bird , @teampersona4life , @xsushibladerx , @white-stxr sorry for mentions!)

[teampersona4life]

Multi watches helplessly as Ciel zips away from the scene after seeing Million.

( Guess Ciel still doesn’t like him that much— oh well, at least he didn’t stay to glare. )

Multi bows her head to both of them.

Lady Emika… Million Mizu.

I’m grateful that Team Persona was allowed to attend today on your special day— and I thank you for reserving chairs for us as well. She lifts her head. Oh that’s right— Tenka?

( @white-stxr )

Multi’s face forms an awkward expression as she whispers to Tenka.

I’ve never physically been at a wedding before, where should I give put the envelope of money that Persona got together for them?

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

She also watched Ciel leave the scene. Perhaps she also knows what happened, she watched that exact stream.

[Emika thought to herself : Guess he still remembers huh?]

Emika began to squeeze Million's hand tightly, like really tight, but not much to hurt him then she taps his foot with her zori. Basically signaling to tell him to apologize. Before returning her gaze at Multi. A smile shined on her soft face.

It's an honor, Multi..glad that you were able to attend, it brings so much joy to my soul. After all you guys really helped me and Tenka so much, it's the best we could do.. Just have a good time alright? Emika gave Multi a soft and soothing smile on her fair skinned face. Watching her soul from afar.

[teampersona4life]

Multi smiles back, positively beaming.

We definitely will! And it’s no problem at all. Persona is always glad to be able to help friends.

She then turns around.

Oh— I think your soon-to-be husband and Ciel are coming back! …Wait. Multi turns back to Emika. Did you…?

She seems to think better of it as the smile on Emika’s face widens and Multi shakes her head. She turns to wave at the other two Bladers.

Million! Ciel!

( @flaming-cerberus , @king-of-amateurs )

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Perhaps I did... Emika turned towards Million and Ciel as they both return

Welcome back you too, I hope you guys were able to patch things up.

[king-of-amateurs]

Ciel came to a stop and bowed in front of Emika. Oh— Lady Emika! Yeah, Million and I were able to settle things. Not fully, but just enough.

Also, I’m thankful that you allowed me to attend last minute even when I said I wouldn’t come. I hope you have the most wonderful wedding ever!

Ciel then turned to Multi and shot her a small warm smile. Despite what Million told him earlier he still felt that Multi and him were very much good friends. Maybe a little more, but not anything romantic.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

I see.. That's good. And of course, Ciel! It's an honor to have you here with us, it means a lot to me and Million! Hope you enjoy the ceremony.

Emika turned towards the table for Persona and thought to herself, with her hand on her chin. She was in deep thought. Before she switched back to Ciel. You're welcome to sit at the reserved table for Persona! Especially since they bought you here themselves, Multi mainly.

That's my treat to you as well.

[king-of-amateurs]

Ciel looks taken aback by Emika’s kind gesture. After the surprised expression on his face briefly passed he began to bow. W-wait, you mean it? Thank you very much!

And without a second thought, he happily goes over to Multi, trying not to look too pleased with himself. Multi is smiling back at him and takes his hand to lead him to his seat.

Ciel turns back around and waves before she can do so.

All of us will definitely enjoy the ceremony— I hope it’s starting soon!

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika gave her signature smile that radiated. It will soon! Right, Million? Everything should be ready to go..all we need are Tenka and Lantz to come along.

( @flaming-cerberus )

[flaming-cerberus]

Yeah, looks like all’s settled and we can go on soon. Believe me, I don’t want to wait any more than you do. Let’s find our bridesmaid and best man so we can get married!

Lantz! Where’d you go? Come on, we’re getting started!

( @lantz-zodiac )

[lantz-zodiac]

Lantz had finished cleaning his glasses, his head turned to Million. He simply nodded. I'll be there right now.

He began to walk over to Million. You're still nervous aren't you? I can definitely tell.

[flaming-cerberus]

A bit, but it’s fine. This is the day I’ve been dreaming of. It’s gonna be amazing, I just know it!

Now, Emika, let’s go get married!

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika nodded. Yeah! This is definitely going to be amazing! I can't wait for it either, now let us..

She reached out for his hand

[flaming-cerberus]

*he takes her hand, smiling brighter than ever*

I love you. And I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

*his slightly scratchy voice and calloused hands against Emika’s light, melodic voice and soft hands create a perfect contrast. A perfect contrast, just like their personalities. Million with his rough exterior and a soft side hidden deep within, Emika with her bright, sweet outside and a fire burning within her, they fit like two pieces of a puzzle. Like yin and yang. The priestess and Cerberus, an unusual pair, but one that is meant to be.*

Together, always.

*As they walk side by side, hand in hand, the guests turn their heads and pay attention. Even Blader X settles down (a miracle, really). *

I’m so glad it’s you I’m here with, Emika. 

*he smiles and squeezes her hand with tears forming in his eyes, his smile lighting up his whole face with the sheer joy of the moment*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

We will spend our lives together until the day we get our souls carried to the other side.

Emika grabbed his hand, and she began taking him down the aisle. Her hand began tying around his. The snowy white Shiromuku with the red accents shined brightly with Million's Montsuki, a perfect contrast of black and white.

Emika's red eyes look up at Million, looking into his canine shines, she just smiled. Glad it was with you too, things would have been very different if I didn't choose you, wouldn't they? Emika notices him squeezing her hand, along with the tears. They were also forming in her eyes, but it was light.

I love you, Million Mizu..

[flaming-cerberus]

I love you too, Emika Kurobara, with all my heart…

*finally, after all the time spent waiting, from their separation at the Shiroboshi School to their reunion, the pair reached the altar at the end of the aisle where Mikazuki waited.*

…and all my soul.

*standing there, in front of so many people, about to be married to the love of his life, Million felt as if his heart would explode. His grin lit his face like a candle, and all for Emika.*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika held his hand tightly, the rough and calloused surface rubbed against her delicate and smooth warmth of her hand. Million, don't worry about the others behind us, focus on me and Mikazuki in front of you. That's all your mind needs to be at right now.

We will be officially married soon, my dear. Be ready for our vows soon.

[flaming-cerberus]

Haaaaaa…

*he breathes out heavily, trying to release his tension. He succeeds partially, with his shoulders relaxing but his mind still racing.*

Yeah. Okay, I can do that. The vows. That’s all I need to worry about.

*he talks to himself out loud before breathing out once more and turning to Mikazuki*

I’m ready if she is.

( @mikazuki-crescentpriest I hand it off to you)

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

(This short roleplay chain is based on this post!)

────────────────

There was another day of ambushes at the Shiroboshi School. Tenka had warned Emika of one of these.

Today was different however, she saw somebody targeting a few students and defeating them. Emika quickly ran over to protect them, but upon seeing the one who was doing all of the ambushes.

The sign of dusk approached, the bright light of sundown cast over the figure. It was Million Mizu.

Million...? Emika spoke to him, seeing the launcher in his hand. Her eyes couldn't believe what she was seeing, they had shown being baffled.

────────────────

( @flaming-cerberus — started the chain, hope you'll be up for this! )

[flaming-cerberus]

(oh I am so down)

Emika…? What are you doing here? He said- You were supposed to be inside! You… weren’t supposed to see me…

*he’s frozen on the spot. His arms had fallen to the sides and the launcher to the floor, any need for it now long gone as he was faced with his beloved looking at him as if he was a ghost*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika felt conflicted, her jaw dropped and shook with uncertainty.

Million...where were you, Lantz, and Mikazuki..? Me and Tenka were searching for you three for DAYS! Out of the three, only you showed up? Also what do you mean I wasn't supposed to see you, who told you that I would be inside?!

Explain this!

Million could tell Emika's anger was soaring high from seeing him, based on the tone and the rise of her voice, which was rarely done by her.

[flaming-cerberus]

*he cringes back when Emika shouts, realizing how mad she must be. He knows that all he can do is tell her the truth.*

Do you remember when Lady Omega left- no, when she was expelled from the Shiroboshi School? Me, Lantz and Mikazuki… we went with her.

I’m… I’m sorry I didn’t tell you, or warn you. I really am.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

You and even my elder brother.. I can't believe this. You say you're sorry, but Is it truly forgivable?

Her hands clutched into fists, putting tons of pressure due to her rage.

Why? She murmured.

The flow of the wind coming by and blowing the leaves off of the trees around the school, the wind separated the two by going down the middle of the two. Their paths intertwined into one, yet so far from each other.

[flaming-cerberus]

*Million says nothing. He can’t find anything to say. All he knows is that splitting off from her is breaking his heart, and clearly hers too. He still loves her, more than anything, but he’s already decided. He needs to follow through and follow Omega.*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

I expected this from my elder brother, he admired Aunt Omega like an ancient relic. However, You betrayed me. You betrayed me. YOU BETRAYED ME!

Are you leaving me like how Aunt Omega left Tenka?!

Emika's breath and her heart began racing, she released a sob from the mental pain she just felt. She was going to be out of her control. Her eyes began to get red and puffy. This was so unusual of her, Million definitely broke her heart.

[flaming-cerberus]

Emika, no! Please calm down! You’re gonna- kgh!

*he can see that words won’t reach her right now. Hearing her breathing, he begins to worry for her and ends up making a decision that tears his heart in two to think about, to risk hurting Emika, but he doesn’t see another way to get her to calm down. Apologizing to her in his mind, he leaps forward and tackles her to the ground, covering her mouth with his hand.*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

She was taken aback by his sudden action, the two of them landed on the dirt ground, stains all over her pure white and red attire. Get— OFF OF ME— TRAITOR—!

Emika was kicking Million to get him off of her. Her eyes were blood shot and red. LET GO OF ME— She struggled to keep still.

[flaming-cerberus]

CALM DOWN! You’ve gotta control your breathing! You’re hyperventilating, you’re gonna hurt yourself! Please, just calm yourself!

*he holds her there, but not tightly. His eyes are soft and clearly show that he doesn’t want to hurt her*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika looked at Million, seeing his soft eyes and feeling his gentle touch. It was weird to see his eyes so soft, she gave those same eyes in return realizing he wasn't going to hurt her.

She had completely stopped struggling. The air from her mouth was making Million's hand very warm. Her breath began to steady too.

[flaming-cerberus]

There you go, you’re okay-

*suddenly, he ducks down, pushing Emika down so they’re hidden by the bushes. He puts his finger to his mouth to signal Emika to stay quiet, then peeks over the bushes to see whose rustling footsteps he had heard.*

Tenka! Dammit-

*as soon as she looked away, he tugged Emika up to standing and hid with her behind a tree*

Stay still.

( @white-stxr sorry for tag!)

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

(START OF THE MIRIKA WEDDING CHAIN!)

Emika was getting ready, she sighs, looking at her attire. The snow white shiromuku on top of her. She looked towards Tenka.

Tenka, thank you so much for helping me out and making this day possible.. All of the Shiroboshi members are also welcome guests since we are using the garden after all....

My dearest cousin.. Is everything ready? If so then you can let everybody in.

( @flaming-cerberus , @white-stxr , @lantz-zodiac , and @mikazuki-crescentpriest )

[flaming-cerberus]

It’s finally time… can’t even believe this. Everyone really came together to make this happen, and I want to that you all before we start. Tenka, for assisting my Emika as her bridesmaid, Mikazuki, for being the one to actually marry us, and even Lantz, for agreeing to the truce so you could be my best man. I know I haven’t said this, but… I’m grateful for all of you.

*he blushes and turns away, shy that he’s admitting his respect for all of them despite his nature*

This is gonna be perfect. I- No, we’ll make sure of it.

*a few minutes later, he’s been tapping his foot and tugging at his collar awkwardly*

…Would you excuse us for a second?

*he grabs Lantz by the sleeve and pulls him off to a quiet corner*

( @lantz-zodiac )

[lantz-zodiac]

Hey, what's the deal with this?! Why are we both in a corner? Now you got my glasses dirty.

Lantz takes off his glasses and wipes them with a cloth he kept on his person, before sighing and turning towards Million. Now, on with your words. What is it you want to say?

[flaming-cerberus]

I think I’m gonna pass out.

I’m getting married, Lantz! What if I mess something up and embarrass myself, or embarrass her? And we’re gonna spend the rest of our lives together?! Every day, I’m gonna wake up to her laying there beside me?! How is this real?! How did she choose me? What if she decides she doesn’t want to be with me anymore? And when we become parents-

Please don't pass out at this time.

Million, you'll be fine. I promise you that you will be fine. I know you're nervous, but you both will be spending your life together, I was never really accepting of your relationship, however I am getting used to it.

I’m back, sunshine.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

You’ve made me a lot more confident. I wouldn’t dream of hiding from you.

As for kisses, I don’t think we’ll have to wait much longer. Looks like a lot of guests have arrived.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Yeah, a lot sure did... Do you want to go meet up with Persona? Multi just arrived I just heard from Tenka. Perhaps you want to get to know them better? Unlike Lantz here....

( @personas-baby-bird , @teampersona4life , @xsushibladerx , @white-stxr sorry for mentions!)

[teampersona4life]

Multi watches helplessly as Ciel zips away from the scene after seeing Million.

( Guess Ciel still doesn’t like him that much— oh well, at least he didn’t stay to glare. )

Multi bows her head to both of them.

Lady Emika… Million Mizu.

I’m grateful that Team Persona was allowed to attend today on your special day— and I thank you for reserving chairs for us as well. She lifts her head. Oh that’s right— Tenka?

( @white-stxr )

[teampersona4life]

Multi smiles back, positively beaming.

We definitely will! And it’s no problem at all. Persona is always glad to be able to help friends.

She then turns around.

Oh— I think your soon-to-be husband and Ciel are coming back! …Wait. Multi turns back to Emika. Did you…?

She seems to think better of it as the smile on Emika’s face widens and Multi shakes her head. She turns to wave at the other two Bladers.

Million! Ciel!

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Perhaps I did... Emika turned towards Million and Ciel as they both return

Welcome back you too, I hope you guys were able to patch things up.

[king-of-amateurs]

Ciel came to a stop and bowed in front of Emika. Oh— Lady Emika! Yeah, Million and I were able to settle things. Not fully, but just enough.

Also, I’m thankful that you allowed me to attend last minute even when I said I wouldn’t come. I hope you have the most wonderful wedding ever!

Ciel then turned to Multi and shot her a small warm smile. Despite what Million told him earlier he still felt that Multi and him were very much good friends. Maybe a little more, but not anything romantic.

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

I see.. That's good. And of course, Ciel! It's an honor to have you here with us, it means a lot to me and Million! Hope you enjoy the ceremony.

Emika turned towards the table for Persona and thought to herself, with her hand on her chin. She was in deep thought. Before she switched back to Ciel. You're welcome to sit at the reserved table for Persona! Especially since they bought you here themselves, Multi mainly.

That's my treat to you as well.

[king-of-amateurs]

Ciel looks taken aback by Emika’s kind gesture. After the surprised expression on his face briefly passed he began to bow. W-wait, you mean it? Thank you very much!

And without a second thought, he happily goes over to Multi, trying not to look too pleased with himself. Multi is smiling back at him and takes his hand to lead him to his seat.

Ciel turns back around and waves before she can do so.

All of us will definitely enjoy the ceremony— I hope it’s starting soon!

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika gave her signature smile that radiated. It will soon! Right, Million? Everything should be ready to go..all we need are Tenka and Lantz to come along.

( @flaming-cerberus )

[flaming-cerberus]

Yeah, looks like all’s settled and we can go on soon. Believe me, I don’t want to wait any more than you do. Let’s find our bridesmaid and best man so we can get married!

Lantz! Where’d you go? Come on, we’re getting started!

( @lantz-zodiac )

[lantz-zodiac]

Lantz had finished cleaning his glasses, his head turned to Million. He simply nodded. I'll be there right now.

He began to walk over to Million. You're still nervous aren't you? I can definitely tell.

[flaming-cerberus]

A bit, but it’s fine. This is the day I’ve been dreaming of. It’s gonna be amazing, I just know it!

Now, Emika, let’s go get married!

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

Emika nodded. Yeah! This is definitely going to be amazing! I can't wait for it either, now let us..

She reached out for his hand

[flaming-cerberus]

*he takes her hand, smiling brighter than ever*

I love you. And I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

*his slightly scratchy voice and calloused hands against Emika’s light, melodic voice and soft hands create a perfect contrast. A perfect contrast, just like their personalities. Million with his rough exterior and a soft side hidden deep within, Emika with her bright, sweet outside and a fire burning within her, they fit like two pieces of a puzzle. Like yin and yang. The priestess and Cerberus, an unusual pair, but one that is meant to be.*

Together, always.

*As they walk side by side, hand in hand, the guests turn their heads and pay attention. Even Blader X settles down (a miracle, really). *

I’m so glad it’s you I’m here with, Emika. 

*he smiles and squeezes her hand with tears forming in his eyes, his smile lighting up his whole face with the sheer joy of the moment*

[lady-kurobarapriestess]

We will spend our lives together until the day we get our souls carried to the other side.

Emika grabbed his hand, and she began taking him down the aisle. Her hand began tying around his. The snowy white Shiromuku with the red accents shined brightly with Million's Montsuki, a perfect contrast of black and white.

Emika's red eyes look up at Million, looking into his canine shines, she just smiled. Glad it was with you too, things would have been very different if I didn't choose you, wouldn't they? Emika notices him squeezing her hand, along with the tears. They were also forming in her eyes, but it was light.

I love you, Million Mizu..

[flaming-cerberus]

I love you too, Emika Kurobara, with all my heart…

*finally, after all the time spent waiting, from their separation at the Shiroboshi School to their reunion, the pair reached the altar at the end of the aisle where Mikazuki waited.*

…and all my soul.

*standing there, in front of so many people, about to be married to the love of his life, Million felt as if his heart would explode. His grin lit his face like a candle, and all for Emika.*
