Yu Yu Hakusho Fan Fiction ❯ Thinking Of You ❯ Wedding Plans ( Chapter 31 )

Thinking Of You

The last few days have been a blur. I haven't been outside, and have barely seen the sun. You wouldn't let go of me since I proposed. You also had stuck the ring I had gotten specially made for you on your left ring finger. You loved that it was just a plain band. It was a plain band, just some white gold. It was pretty thin, and had cost a pretty penny. I'm still not sure where I got all the money for it. All I know is that you loved it. And since you loved that ring, you'd love the one for the actual binding more. I had ordered it a while back. It would have a dragon and a rose on it. The band wouldn't be precious, just some steel. It would be vine-like and in the front the vines would form the likeness of a dragon. The dragon would have a precious stone made rose in its mouth. I thought it would be nice.

"Hiei?" you asked me quietly. I focused my attention on you. You were sitting on the edge of the bed I was lying on. The sheets pulled over your waist. I noticed that I was uncovered.

"Eep!" I crawled under the sheets and laid my head in your lap. You smiled contentedly down at me. I smiled back.

"Today we are going to address the logistics of the wedding. When, where, and what all is going to happen and be used, what it's going to look like, color schemes, and such," you rattled. I twitched.

"Do we have to?" I cooed and kissed your thigh. You ran your hand through my hair.

"Sooner than later love," you said. I sighed. "First of all, when."

"Winter," I said immediately. You smiled. "When there's snow on the ground. It would be… lovely."

"I didn't know you were such a romantic Hiei," you said. I blushed. "Winter it is. What month?"

"How about this month?" I asked. You started. I looked at you quizzically. You smiled witheringly at me.

"Weddings are a big thing Hiei. It could take us months to just get it planned. Not to mention the time to reserve a place to have the wedding, and reception. The time to find and hire people for all the different aspects of the wedding such as the cake, the photography, the catering, the florist, and so forth. Then there's the time for informing my relatives, and lord knows that could take time," you started trailing off. I nudged you.

"If we get it planned out today, I'm sure we could go out find, and hire the people by tomorrow. We could pick a location and ask around today, if you like," I said. You smiled down at me. "As for your relatives, I'll be right by your side. I'll be standing there with you, supporting you all the way."

"Thanks love," you whispered and kissed my cheek.

"Location?" you asked a moment later. I took in a deep breath and thought about it for a moment.

The reception and wedding could be in the same place. It could minimize on a million things. Plus the cost would be less. But the actual location would have to be perfect. I wanted to have big windows looking out over the snow covered ground. It would be elegant with a large chandelier hanging over the guests. There would be room for dancing and such, plus have the duality of having the actual ceremony there. I described it to you. You smiled so lovely at me then.

"I hope we can find a place like that. It would be beautiful," you purred.

"Not as beautiful as you," I cooed. You smiled.

"We don't have time love. We have a wedding to plan."

We finally decided on everything. We decided on a florist, who we called for an appointment. It would be in two days. We found a caterer, but held off calling him until we had a set date for the wedding. We also found four lovely places that fit my description. We called and set up appointments with them over the next two days. Everything was planned out, every piece in its place, except one. You had to confront your family. I knew it would be hard, and I knew that some of them would not come, nor would they accept you any more. I knew that some would disown you, and I knew that some would disapprove. But it didn't matter. Most of them would be happy that you were happy, that's the way your mother's family was, I expected. They had to be like her. I knew that your father's family (your real father) wouldn't mind too much. Some wouldn't like it, but would come anyway, but some wouldn't come at all. The only people we were worried about were your step-father's family. I was more worried about him and Shuiichi than anyone. You needed to have their support, or at least consent. It would hurt you if you didn't. So we called them and invited them over for dinner. Tonight. You kept pacing the floor. Your mother said she would come over first and talk to us before they came.

*Knock knock*

You went over to the door and opened it. Your mother smiled back at you. You smiled and took her into a bear hug.

"Welcome mother, come in," you said. You stepped aside and let her in. She took off her shoes and walked over to me. She hugged me. I hugged her back slightly, still getting used to the closeness.

"Hello Hiei," she said. I smiled as she smiled at me.

"Hello Shiori," I answered. She bopped me upside the head.

"I told you to call me mother, didn't I?" she scolded. I flinched slightly.

"Yeah, I'm working on it ma'am," I said. She smiled. I walked over to the couch in the living room and sat down. You sat down beside me, and your mother beside you.

"Mother," you said. She beamed at you. "there's something we need to tell you."

"Yes Shuiichi?"

You held up your left hand, grasping mine in your right. It hurt, you were holding on so tight.

"We're engaged," you said. She gasped and then cried out your joy. Before I knew what was happening she had us both in a bear hug.

"I'm so happy for you both!" she cried out. I blinked, not knowing what to do. I looked over at both of you and noticed you were both crying. I sighed, disengaged myself and snagged a box of tissues for a nearby table.

"Mother, that's why we called you all over," you managed after a while. She looked at us both. "We're going to tell them tonight."

"I can only wish you luck Shuiichi," she said seriously. "I have no idea how either of them will react. I hope it will be for the best."

*Knock knock knock*

"Speaking of, here they are," I said.

Notes: Once again I was having transition problems, but I got over it and this chapter was born. Shall we wish our favorite demons luck? I believe they'll need it. Any information about Kurama's step-father would be useful. I'm a little shaky on his personality. But anyway, I hope you liked this chapter!
