chapter seventeen;

━━━━━━ "OH MY, WELL DON'T YOU JUST LOOK ADORABLE!", kisa exclaimed, gently caressing eri's cheek as the little girl just blushed in embarrassment.

     "t-thank you...you look very pretty today...miss kisa", the little girl meekly choked out.

     "why thank you eri!! anyways, your basket of flower petals are right there on the counter", kisa informed as toga continued curling the girl's hair and pinning it up into a low bun.

     eri just nodded as she went to go retrieve the basket. kaoru gasped as he watched twice carefully maneuver the wedding dress into the room.

     "NEE-CHAN! YOU—"

     "keep quiet now, kaoru. we don't want unnecessary people to hear your loud proclamation", kisa smiled, referring to who might be passing by.

     as toga had finally finished putting up the girl's hair, kisa had applied powder to her face, making her even paler than she already was.

     the girl lined her eyelids, bringing out her brilliant yellow eyes and fox-like features even more. brushing red across her soft lips, the color had made her pale skin pop even more.

"did the four receive my present?", kisa asked, to which kaoru just nodded in excitement.

"you look beautiful nee-chan!!", kaoru complimented, to which kisa replied with a quick thanks and proceeded to give the boy a head pat.

"now now, you all should go prepare for the ceremony while twice helps me with the dress", kisa smiled, shooing the children and toga away.

"awww, why can I help??", toga whined.

"because twice made the dress, and I never had time to actually try on the final product. so in case anything doesn't work, he'll be able to fix it", kisa nicely explained, to which toga just pouted as she exited the room.

     the girl then started stripping as twice hurriedly turned around to face the wall.

"YOU SHOULD'VE WARNED ME FIRST!!! well, I don't mind".

kisa chuckled at twice, slipping her long legs into the dress as she engulfed herself into the floof of the massive dress.

"could you help me zip it up please?", kisa nicely asked, turning her back to face twice.

"of course! oh HELL NO!"

nevertheless, twice trudged over, careful not to step on any part of the dress. stretching his arms forward, he suddenly noticed a scar, or more accurately, an engraving of a word on the back of kisa's back.

"kisa...your back..."

"no need to worry about it twice. it was a long time ago", kisa assured as twice hesitantly nodded, zipping the dress up as kisa moved around a bit to see if it had fit properly.

"you did a splendid job twice! I'm very impressed", kisa smiled as she twirled around, to which the girl had suddenly remembered to wear a golden necklace and matching earrings that were quite dramatic.

twice nearly teared up at his beautiful creation that took him months.

"of course kisa!! damn girl, you best not only wear it once", twice said, making kisa lightly chuckle as she grabbed the bouquet of red spider lilies off the counter and headed towards the door.

"allow me", twice gestured as he opened the door and extended his right arm out.

kisa happily took it as the two started headed outside, to where a carriage was awaiting to take them up into the sky.

"are you ready to get married?", twice asked.

"readier than ever", kisa grinned.

━━━━━━ • ✿ • ━━━━━━

     "how do you still not know how to tie a tie?", toga asked shigaraki meanwhile kurogiri helped the man since he was obviously invited to the wedding.

     "it's because kisa does it for him every time", dabi answered, to which shigaraki just glared at said male.

     "I'm assuming it was her highness's idea to have you four accessorize the different colored spider lilies?", kurogiri asked.

     "indeed. she said it would stand out from our full on black suits", dabi answered, glancing at his lavender spider lily meanwhile shigaraki had a red one, chisaki had a white one, and inasa had dark blue one.

"anyways, we've got to get ready, the flower girl and ring bearer is coming", inasa said as the four split in pairs and stood on both sides of the obake, who's a yōkai that had shape-shifted into a priest-like human.

     since kisa and the villains didn't necessarily have close friends, except a few, they decided not to have bridesmaids and groomsmen all together.

     instead, eri—the flower girl—started sprinkling red petals across the aisle, meanwhile kaoru—the ring bearer—walked down the aisle beside eri with a pillow that held all five rings.

     every human and yōkai watching were standing below, as a black path was paved across midair, not too far into the sky to the point that others wouldn't be able to see.

     as eri and kaoru stood beside the four men, gasps and whispering were heard as kisa and her father had walked down the dark road, with isao clearly unhappy with the girl's dress.

     instead of a traditional white gown, kisa had went with an off the shoulder ruby red princess gown with royal gold patterns brimming the trail of the dress and the bodice of it. the sleeves were thin, with matching golden lace dangling from the edge as it had also complemented the girl's golden heels and scarlet red veil.

     with each step, the girl's heels clicked with arrogance, as kisa very much enjoyed the closeup expression of her father, which was pissed as hell.

     as the two reached the end of the trail, that was lit up by floating lanterns, the four men perked up, meanwhile isao had descended back to the ground, where all the other viewers were.

     as the four men stepped forward to lift the veil, the four of them nearly felt their breath being punched out of their lungs as they witnessed kisa, who's eyes suddenly fluttered open like magic.

     as if the girl wasn't beautiful before, she was absolutely entrancing now. with her golden hues glimmering dangerously, it truly matched her red wedding gown, showing just how devious and deceiving the girl can be.

     kisa smiled though, to which the obake had cleared his throat, snapping the four villains out of their trance as they stepped back into their positions.

     as the yōkai started rambling on and on, asking questions here and there, kisa kept up her fake smile, though internally, she was bored as hell.

     "will you honor each other as men and wife for the rest of your lives?"

     "I do", they all replied, to which kisa internally brooded.

     'if I didn't, I wouldn't fucking be here right now', the girl mentally cursed.

     just as the yōkai priest had finished all the talking, it was time for the four men's vows, with chisaki starting first.

     "I promise to always assist you to the best of my abilities. as your newly wed husband, there's nothing more I wish than for you to succeed", chisaki mumbled.

"and I promise you that I will always try my hardest, to never fail you nor disappoint", inasa added on.

"meanwhile I promise to take great care of you, and protect you from all harm", dabi continued.

"and we all promise...", shigaraki slowly muttered.

"to love you to no ends", the four spoke in sync, to which all five of them knew fully well, that this was just for show.

but kisa wasn't about to be one upped by four men who just pulled some cheesy line out of their asses.

the girl sighed a small breath as she glanced back up at the four, who had clear faces of confidence, as if challenging kisa to do better.

the girl then closed her eyes as she reopened them, with her amber-gold hues containing an unexplainable emotion.

"I'm...so happy", the girl simply whispered out as her face displayed a facade of appreciation mixed with tears, that were delicately cascading down her perfect cheekbones.

the four men flinched as they did not expect the girl to cry out of happiness, or cry at all.

kisa lightly dabbed her tears with her nimble fingers as she showcased a whole new world of emotions that the four villains had not seen before.

"my heart will forever beat for the four of you, and only you four. I promise to be the most diligent wife, as I hope to only show you all the love and affection I have savored for you guys. my loves, my darlings...please allow me to ravish you four with unconditional love, as I will forever treasure the four of you", kisa said with compassion as the four were utterly stunned.

if it weren't for the quick flicker of the mischievous glint in the girl's eyes, the four men would've believed the girl for every word she had proclaimed.

"now you may kiss the grooms", the priest suddenly announced as kisa kissed chisaki first, to which the male had begrudgingly slid off his black surgical mask momentarily.

the girl then moved on to inasa, then dabi, and finally shigaraki, leaving a numb feeling on their lips as they parted from their kiss with the girl.

"now the rings".

kaoru leisurely walked over, careful not to tilt the pillow as he offered the golden rings to kisa, who had slipped them onto each of the male's left ring finger.

on each ring was kisa's first name with a carved initial, meanwhile the girl's thinner ring had all four names on there.

with shigaraki slipping the ring onto the girl's ring finger, the priest happily announced them husbands and wife.

with kisa holding shigaraki's hands and being surrounded by her husbands, kisa smiled, tilting her head slightly to the side as dabi gave the girl a back hug.

"though we have already said our vows, I want you all to promise me something".

"and that is?"

"promise to live for me. an oath to me, and for me only".
