Description

Fouth part of my fanfiction for my :iconpokimono:-RP chara Fushishi Aragoto: master-kankuro.deviantart.com/…

And yeah! I´ve planned this moment for FOREVER. XDD *____*
And nope, Shizuka isn´t crying tears here. That poor thing does have odd bumps. Read more about this in her BIO linked below....
Well I guess many of you may ask, why I´m that "boring/uncreative" and pair up two own RP-characters instead of really RPing with another member for a partnership. My simple answer:
I don´t want to find an explanation IF the partner´s RP-ler may leave the group, causing the wife to disappear.

"Ikebana" is the Japanese art of flower-arrangement and I´ve choosen this title, because i also "arrange two flowers" here. Enjoy. :bow:

After James Clavell´s bestseller "Shogun" sharing the pillow is an old-Japanese expression for making love.
I fiund this description rather cute and well-fitting for my still morely innocent mind and this story here. XDDDDD
But I´m sorry for the rather oddly-written text...firstly with some dialogues but than I turned back into a more reportive
style, which I´m still used too.QAQ Hope the much detailed illustration may excuse my writing-lazyness...

P.S: I´m MORE than grateful of anyone, who can point out possible mistakes via the note, so I can correct them afterwards. ^^;

The wedding:

Many days passed after Fushishi´s prosposal to Shizuka. During this time many things for the upcoming wedding had to be prepared. First of all Shizuka also visited the Aragoto-clan.
For her it was quite the challenge to face several extroverted Gijinka at the same thime, while being a part of their attention´s center.
“Don´t worry my dear, you can decide weather to keep on your hat or not, Shizuka-chan” Fushishi told her when he picked up her to his clan-dinner.
“R-really? Fushishi-san…this really would help me a lot.” She shyl looked at him and continued. “But maybe I´ll get used enough to the situation to remove it after a while. Thanks for being that thoughtful.” She smiled gratefully and took followed him to his own residence – next to the large Sô-Gô-za.

On the way on, the pair met Fushishi´s old rival Jôroda a Serperior with his own Roserade-wife. Both looked quite surprized about this unexpected meeting. Jôroda carefully checked up Shizuka and with a slight sneering voice he said. “Weeell~….so the rumors where true and you finally found your own partner Fushishi-san?” Shizuka, feeling very uneasy under the aware look of the Serperior, hid behind her partner´s huge body. Fushishi withstood the glare and said with a confident voice. “Yes I do Jôroda-san. And I´m very happy about this.”
While Jôroda´s wife giggled abit about Shizuka´s timid behavior, Jôroda gently tugged the Roserade to keep on walking, while saying. “Heh…it´s just I didn´t really expeced this type of Gijinka…very contraire to your ususal fancy appeariance.”
Fushishi rose and eyebrow and narrowed his eyes, but than he embrached Shizuka and with an even more confided voice he said. “Yes that may be true, but isn´t a contrast often an enrichment in life? I´m sure Shizuka and I will complement each other like Ying and Yang.
See you at work soon Jôroda-san!”
With these words he bowed and strut away with the female Venusaur in his arm.
Shizuka blushed about the bold words, which countered the Serperior´s glare. Fushishi released her from the embrace and said. “Don´t worry about this pal. We´re somehow rivals since forever. But deep inside of him his heart is still at it´s right place. Too bad that he´s really vain. And his wife isn´t really better too.”

At Fushishi´s home, the pair was happily greeted by Shi-Jô-Usu, a Tropius and Fushishi´s father. “Ahh~ there you two finally are-de gozaru. I´m happy to finally meet you young lady who´ll become my dear daughter-in-law soon-de gozaru!” He bowed. She shyly bowed too and replied. “It´s an honor to meet you Mr. Aragoto.” While entering the Tropius announced that the guests finally arrived. “Iemotobana-chaaan, our “pair” is ready for dinner-de gozaru!”
“Hai-haii~ my dear. “ a voice was heard from another room. Soon the female large-grown Venusaur appeared and bowed. “Good evening Shizuka-san and Fushishi. The dinner is ready just in time. Please take a seat and enjoy our meal Ms. Dokubutsu.” Offering a seat, Fushishi said: “I hope you´ll like the meal like I did with yours my dear blossom.”
The dinner went nicely and without any problems. After some time, Shizuka felt comfortable enough to remove the hat with some apologizing words for this behavior.
“Don´t worry my dear, we already know bits and bites about your preferences. I´m very glad and happy that you seems to feel comfortable here.” Iemotobana said in a calming way.
The evening turned into deep night before the dinner was finished and Fushishi escorted Shizuka back to her home. Shizuka, Fushishi and his parents told about almost anything.
How the work as a Kabuki-actor and Bunraku-performer is like, which further steps have to be taken for the wedding. Funny stories of daily life – which most part Shi-Jô-Usu filled for sure. But most important: The realisation that both theatre-types weren´t that different than originally opposed.

Finally the day of the wedding arrived. It was at May the 22nd (Satsuki or “Early riceplanting month”). Fushishi and Shizuka have chooseb this date, because it was exactly at the middle of each birthdays. Further on it was settled shortly after the long-termed cherry-blossom-events, mening the Arceus-Shrine wasn´t occupied anymore and it was calm enough to celebrate in the closest family-circle. The wedding itself was hold at the Arceus-shrine in the traditional Shinto-style. Fushishi was dressed in a pretty groom´s dress. Instead of black it was dark-turquoise – his preferred “formal coloring”. Again his miniature-flowerd blossomed all over the mane, giving the entire look an even more romantic touch. Shizuka to the contraire wore a white bride´s kimono. It was embroided and painted with few delicate Peonies and a bright turquoise under-wear kimono was worn for some additional colouring-highlights. Shizuka has chosen the Peony as her “flower” because the wedding-date was also in the flower´s blooming-season.
A Peony is the symbol for health and prosperity…a hopefully good omen for the pair´s shared future.
Some elder priests, younger Mikos and for sure the parents where acompanying the groom and bride. During the slow process, the clerics where chanting to appease Arceus and prays for the deities´ blessings for the young pair.
Inside the shrine, two pillows where placed, offering the pair to kneel down. In front of them, a small table with cups of sake was seen too. The leading priest stood behind the table and proceeded with the traditional ediquette, while Fushishi and Shizuka exchanged the luck-wishing sake-cups. Their parents took places behind the pair, silently watching the wedding-ceremony. The Mikos also distributed small sake cups to the parents, so they can compleate the uniting-process.
The priest chanted some last blessings before the freshly married pair was buried under plenty congratulation-wishes and happy tears of the mothers. Outside of the shrine a hired artist - a Smeargle-Gijinka - already has waiten for the group, so he can eternize the joyous moment. He firstly scetched the scene and explained that he´ll create a detailed Ukyo-e-artpice which will be send to the pair soon afterwards.

After the traditional wedding-ceremony, the closer relatives of the Aragoto-clan and Dokubutsu-clan gathered together to celebrate the wedding in a large style. Both clans also happily announced to set up a special theatre-program for the next days in honor of this important uniting of the two performer´s clan.
Thinking back to the beginning, neither Fushsihi, nor Shizuka could have even imagined
such an outcome. But through the several busy visits for the wedding-preparations, both clans approached more and more in a friendly manner.
After the long-termed celebration, Fushishi found himself in his bed…with Shizuka at his side. Normally both should have been dead-tired after the exciting but also straining day.
Instead of wanting to sleep, both finally found the ideal silent moment to discover each other even more intense than before. Mentally but this time especially pysically…until they shared the pillow…
