Chikage could do nothing but grin. His crimson eyes glinted with delight. The way she talked and the way she sometimes forced him into corners that he knew he couldn’t get out of pleased him. She was indeed the perfect bride and he was glad to have her by his side. His fingers crept their way around her waist and held onto her firmly, as worry as though she would drift away from him. She really was like a dream to him and to have all the women there respect her as much as they had shown how much power she had.<br/><br/>She was definitely a nice add to his life. He was glad that he’d finally stumbled across her again.<br/><br/>“Ahem.” He cleared his throat along with his thoughts. “I suppose it is indeed time for dinner.” He looked to the women. The crowd bowed and quickly made their way to the dining area. Each of them had a task to handle as far as setting the table and gathering enough pillows for everyone to sit on. They stood as to wait for everyone else to sit, and when everyone else had, they began serving the first round of the meal before seating themselves. Chikage began sipping a bit of his soup when the meal first began.<br/><br/>Amagiri glanced his way, but it was Kyo that spoke up. “So when is this wedding? I’m sure all the ladies here are all dying to know.”<br/><br/>Chikage cleared his throat, uncertain of how to answer that question. It wasn’t an uncertainty of their marriage; it was more so he didn’t know what she wanted to do. How would she choose to dress? How would she like it to look? Who would she like to invite? Of course, he would no question have it here in his village, where his people would celebrate their ceremony and the addition to his home. Yes, all those things had to have been directed to her. He had only assumed it was a feminine thing that he wouldn’t really have to worry about anything except his small request. “I’m not sure. I don’t want to wait too long though, I can be extremely impatient and I feel as though I’ve waited long enough for her to come back into my life. But it is whatever she decides to do. If not at this very moment then I can wait until later.” He smirked in her general direction, before taking a sip of some sake.<br/><br/>As all the other women ate and drank, they couldn’t help but watch the two of them. It was just so fascinating to see that their Lord Chikage was finally settling down. And it wasn’t just with an ordinary woman as they had suspected. It was specifically<span style="font-style: italic">her</span>. It was the same woman that had appeared in the mansion before and somehow she had officially made an impression on him. It was all so surreal. If anyone was in line it was Natsu, or so most of them though and some thought otherwise and were perfectly correct with their thoughts. She had somehow found a way to bewitch his heart and he was serious about it. Many of them became restless from it but most of them were elated. They were glad to have Natsu out of their hair but they were also glad that there might be a chance to bring life into the mansion.<br/><br/>Everything had become so boring and monotonous and without anyone fighting for control, they knew who their superior was and she accepted them all for who they were or who they used to be to Lord Chikage. They had just hoped that it didn’t mean they had to leave their lives and be without a home.<br/><br/>It was all that they knew.
