(Tanjiro pov)
The girls had prepared the meal for afterwards, Uzui-San, Tomioka-San, Inosuke, Zenitsu, and I are currently placing the food on a table outside. It turns out to be coming out smoothly, with the ocasional hand to the head telling Inosuke to stop eating the food.
Mine and Kanao-san's "wedding" was first apparently, and of course I was very nervous. Even though it was all fake, it felt very real with all the decorations, the food, and the thought and effort put into this.
Rengoku-San is going to be the officiator. So he's all dressed up as well. Which reminds me that I still had the put on my jacket and tie.
Zenitsu got plenty of warnings from me about taking care of Nezuko. But I honestly don't know what to think about Inosuke and Aoi-san. They're both very loud. That's for sure. Though... ounce I think about it, Aoi-San was the only one that was able to keep Inosuke still, so that we could put the shirt on him. She's the only one he'll listen to.
It makes sense. Both Inosuke and Aoi-san are really loud. Aoi-San makes food, Inosuke loves food. Inosuke is always getting injured, Aoi-San is a doctor. And Aoi-San is the only person Inosuke will willingly listen to. Whether they notice it or not, they're practically made for each other.
With that thought in mind, I put my jacket and tie on, then went over to Inosuke. When we were done putting the food outside, he randomly ran off.
I walked around for a little bit but couldn't find him. I asked some of the others and Rengoku-San thought he saw Inosuke go into the woods.
I went in the woods with about an hour until our "wedding" would begin.
I walked around for a little bit until I found Inosuke in a tree. I was about to call him down when I heard him say something.
(Kanao pov)
We were in the preparation room. Suma-Chan- one of the sound pillar's wives- was in charge of getting me ready. Hinatsuru-Chan was helping Aoi, and Makio-Chan was helping Nezuko.
I was feeling a little different, most likely nervous. I now I shouldn't be nervous, but it's so real that I can't help but feel this way.
I looked over at Aoi and Hanatsuru-Chan. Hinatsuru-Chan had just finished putting Aoi's hair up.
I then looked towards Nezuko, and Makio-Chan. Makio-Chan was putting some makeup on Nezuko. They both looked very pretty all dressed up. I wondered if I looked anything like them.
"You have beautiful eyes" Kanae's words rang through my head. I bet she would have loved to be here. I... I wish I could have mourned for her like master Shinobu.
I thought about this for a little longer, wondering if there was anything I could have done. If I were there to stop that demon, would she still be alive? Or would fate take her away again?
"Kanao-San? Miss Kanao?" I heard someone calling me.
I looked up at Suma-Chan. She had a worried expression. She must have been calling me for a bit.
"I apologize, I was thinking about something."
"That's alright. May I start on your makeup?"
I was about to grab my coin I had set on the desk, but then I remembered what Tanjiro said to me. I must follow my heart. "Of course." I smiled.
We started talking and when she was finished it didn't feel that long. She put on a veil and held two flower bouquets for me to choose from. I chose one with different shades of pink and white flowers.
Once we were done she asked me to close my eyes and stand up. She put her hands on my shoulder and led me a few steps away. When I opened my eyes I saw my reflection in the mirror.
She kept telling me on how I was beautiful and how she wished she could have her wedding again. I was zoned out thinking about my appearance when one compliment caught my attention.
"...-and your eyes are so pretty too!" She said enthusiastically.
I looked towards the ground, a small bead of water rolled down my cheek and fell on the floor.
(Suma pov)
I was complimenting her but stopped at the one about her eyes when I heard a small sniffle. I looked at Kanao-San. She was looking at the ground with a water streak down her cheek.
'Did I make her cry?'
I got down to her level and used my pointer finger to lift her chin up so she was looking me. She was indeed crying, but why?
I look her in the eyes. "I'm sorry that I made you cry, even though I don't know how." I hugged the 'bride'.
She stopped crying. "It's ok. I should be over it now."
"It's ok to cry. I just hope I didn't offend you."
"No no, you're ok. We should probably get back now." Kanao-Chan started walking back to the others across the room. "Aoi-San, Nezuko-Chan, you both look beautiful!" She said.
The three 'brides' continued to talk -or try to talk (Nezuko)- to each other.
It was about 30 minutes until the 'wedding', so me Makio-Chan and Hinatsuru-Chan left the room along with the love and insect Hashira to make sure everything was prepared.
(Tanjiro pov)
I heard Inosuke up in the tree talking to himself. At first it was just a mumble, but then he looked up at the sky and was talking again.
"Ma..." I heard him say.
'He must be talking to his mother' I thought. I kept listening for a bit.
(Inosuke pov)
"Ma... Why do I get this weird feeling when I'm around the blue butterfly?"
I sat in a tree talking to my Okaa-San. I knew she wasn't really there, but it felt nice to at least pretend she was staring down at me, watching.
"Anyways, I'm supposed to get married today. I'm getting married to the pigtails girl. She was the one I told you about earlier, who made me take gross medicine. Gonpanchiro is going with the pink butterfly, and the cry baby is going with demon girl. I don't know why, but he's always so happy around her."
(Tanjiro pov)
I decided to stop listening and call him down because I felt like I was intruding. Plus, it was almost time for me and Kanao-san's 'wedding'.
I stepped back a bit and pretended as though I had just found him.
"Inosuke!" I ran up to him as he turned around to look at me. "There you are! It's almost time to start, let's go!"
Inosuke jumped out of the tree and started walking back to the mansion as if he wasn't just talking to himself about his emotions.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm going Ganponchiro!" He started yelling.
~~~~~~~~
We got to the estate and separated. I went to the main entrance were I found Giyome-San, Sanemi-San, Tomioka-San, and Iguro-San.
They were all talking except Tomioka-San, so I decided to talk to him. He was the one who first found me and Nezuko when Nezuko turned into a demon.
"Hello, Tomioka-San!" I said.
He looked down at me. "...Hello."
We began talking and before I knew it, it was time for the first wedding reception.
We all went to our spots. I saw Zenitsu, Genya, and Inosuke in the back row. We had to sit in the back so that when we sit again back, we won't be in the way.
I walked towards the altar and stood there and listened to the music play. The triplets came down the hall throwing petals everywhere, and then I saw her. She wore a beautiful wedding dress and a veil that hung just a little bit below her shoulders. She held a bouquet of flowers painted with shades of pink and white.
She was walking with Shinobu-San down the hall looking a bit nervous.
I took her hand and Shinobu-San whispered to me. "If you mess up in this little challenge, I won't hesitate to use my poison on you." And then she smiled.
I gulped and turned to walk Kanao-San to our makeshift altar. Rengoku-San was waiting there with a bright smile.
I faced Kanao-san and held both her hands in mine. Everyone was sat down and ready.
Rengoku cleared his throat then started. "We come together today to..."
A/N: I don't know what all the officiant says, so let's just pretend that Rengoku is talking in the background while I share some of our lovely characters thoughts ;)
(Tanjiro)
I held Kanao's hands which was kind of hard to do considering the amount of sweat between both our hands.
I looked at Kanao-San's eyes, both of them shining that beautiful pinkish-purple. Her lips curled up into a small smile, though you could tell she was nervous because of how much she was sweating, or maybe that was me, I'm not sure.
"Do you Tanjiro Kamado, take Kanao Tsuyuri, in sickness and in death to be your law fully wedded wife?" I heard Rengoku ask.
"I do." I answered. Kanao-san's sweating grew more intense.
(Kanao)
I felt nervous but honestly very happy, that's why I was sweating so much.
He looked straight in my eyes as I heard an "I do". I sweated even more and Rengoku started speaking again.
"Do you Kanao Tsuyuri, take Tanjiro Kamado, in sickness and in death to be you law fully wedded husband?"
Though it was quiet there was an "I do" there. And I'm grateful for the large reassuring smile Tanjiro-kun gave me.
(Shinobu)
Though I wanted to kill Tanjiro when he said "I do" then gave Kanao a large smile when she said the same, the top name on my kill list was Inosuke for the moment. I might end up killing both after the 'weddings'.
...I wish Nee-San was here to see this.
A/N: I just love how protective she is!
(Nezuko)
I sat with Aoi in a room with a one sided window to watch the ceremony.
We sat in this room so that our grooms couldn't see us. I don't know why they weren't allowed to see us, but I was more focused on Onii-Chan and Kanao-San.
I stared in confusion at the scene that played before me. "When the officiant, or Rengoku, say that, they're basically asking if you'll love them forever." Aoi explained to me.
I nodded my head and continued to watch as they both said "I do."
(Inosuke)
I watched Gompanchiro and the pink butterfly stare at each other. I could tell both of them were nervous, but I'm not sure why. All they gotta say is 'I do', and then we eat!
But when they said 'I do', Monitsu started to quietly cry beside me. I stared at him before turning my attention back to the front.
That's when I sensed a strange aura from somewhere. I looked away from the crybaby and towards the purple butterfly, who was still smiling, despite the murderous aura that surrounded her.
(Zenitsu)
I looked at the beautiful scene in front of me. I hope me Nezuko-Chan will look like this. All full of love, and... sweating?
Ignoring that part. It just looks so beautiful, I could cry! Oh wait. I am crying. Haha.
(Genya)
I honestly don't know why I'm here. Tanjiro and Zenitsu came looking for me about an hour before all this started. They said they and Inosuke were getting married and then dragged me to the back of the Butterfly mansion. I'm still mad at them for dragging me off without any indication of what was going on except that a bunch of teenagers were going to get married!
(Aoi)
I was sitting in the one sided window room with Nezuko-Chan. I saw that she looked a bit perplexed, so I tried to explain.
"When the officiant, or Rengoku, say that, they're basically asking if you'll love them forever." I explained to the little demon. As she nodded in understanding I heard my sister and friend both say "I do".
A/N: Let's get back to the story shall we?
Kiyo, who was standing beside her sisters, came up to the two and handed them both the rings they had chosen. Putting on the rings they looked back at each other.
"You may now kiss the bride!" Rengoku shouted, making the two very red as everyone else became deathly silent.
"Rengoku," Shinobu said in a low voice. "Let's skip that part, okay?"
"Ok!" He replied, unfazed.
The two walked down the isle together and sat down with Inosuke as Zenitsu got up and started down the hall with a shy smile.
