(Mirayuki's point of view)

They hadn't come... They hadn't arrived at my 'wedding' and time was running out. The wedding would be in only twenty music. Many thoughts flew through my mind as I sat alone in the bathroom. 'Would they not make it to save me?' 'Would I have to marry Bass?' 'Would i ever be able to distinguish my love between Izana and Obi?' 'Would I ever be able to confess to them?'

"Are you almost done dear?" My future mother-in-law called from behind the locked door. How she was married to that awful man is besides me. She was to good for him, same for their daughter. Maybe I could save them from this place one day.

I Looked in the mirror and frowned at my reflection. My dress was a dark black color, because no bride of The Blood Moon Clan could be pure enough to have a white dress. My hair was put up into a messy bun and my makeup was many dark shades. I almost cried at the sight, because my uncle didnt want me to steal Bass's thunder he made me put my blue contacts in.

I went to the door and unlocked it, slowly I opened the door. I was alone thankfully, afterall we had decided that I would walk down the isle alone. After all a women of The Blood Moon Clan should be strong enough without an escort.

5 Minutes... 5 Mintues until my life is changed forever... 'Obi... Izana... Shirayuki... Zen... Kiki...Mitsuhide...Dad...' I thought about all of my friends and family. 3 Minutes left... I slowly made my way to the Lake. 1 Minute... I slowly began to walk down the isle. Knowing that if I dared to try to make a run for it that I would be killed.

Bass was smirking down at the altar, causing me to almost throw up. Somehow I had arrived at the altar and was standing next to Bass.

"If anyone wishes for these two not to be together speak now or forever hold you piece."

Silence... So this was where it would end, my freedom, my hopes, my dreams. Nothing will be left.
I felt tears threaten my eyes.

"If that's the case then-"
