Wedding ~ Part Three

Chapter Ninety-Eight:

Wedding ~ Part Three

Rani left the office later on in the evening with the weight on her shoulders lifted. Her dilemma inside was now resolved and she was able to get on with her daily life, until the next one arose.

A few hours earlier she found she was assigned to a four day patrol in the Living World and prepared herself since it was to start the following day, much to her displeasure. So, she headed over to Squad Ten to inform her fiancée and found him still in the office.

"Knock. Knock." Rani said softly as she gently tapped the door. He looked up and smiled.

"Hey! What brings you here?" Toshiro asked as she came in and walked over to him.

"I apparently have been assigned a four day patrol starting tomorrow." She answered scrunching her nose as she peered over at the papers he was going over.

"Me too. I think I am your relief." He responded as he pulled her onto his lap. "I'll be gone for five."

"I think the Captain Commander did that on purpose." Toshiro let out a small chuckle.

"A little separation is good, you do realize that right?" He asked sarcastically.

"Ha. Ha. You are getting just like the girls."

"That's a scary thought."

Now it was her turn to laugh.

"Come on. Let's go get some dinner before I need to leave in the morning and won't be able to have dinner with you for nine days."

She got up off of his lap and slowly walked towards the door.

"Good idea."

After a quick bite to eat, he walked her to her barracks and her quarters. He followed her inside and looked around the room.

"You okay?"

"When do you plan on packing?"

Rani tilted her head at him in confusion.

"Uh, I don't have that much to pack, so I wasn't planning on it until after the honeymoon." She eventually replied. "It's a one trip move."

"Don't most girls have a lot of stuff?"

"You're an idiot." Rani said and then headed into her kitchen. "Do you want tea or will you be going back to Squad Ten?"

"Me? An idiot?" He asked with furrowed brows.

"Yes. That is what I called you. Now would like some tea?" She asked again.

"Sure. I'll stay for one cup at least."

Thirty minutes later, with his cup finished, he bid Rani a 'goodnight' and a 'have fun on patrol' before heading back to his quarters.

Rani prepped everything she would need for her patrol and crashed moments later.

Once through the Dangai Precipice World, she relieved the current on duty Shinigami and headed to see Urahara about accommodations and her Gigai.

"I am happy to see you, Miss Tómasu!" Urahara greeted. "What is going on in the Seireitei?"

"Oh, not too much. Same crap, different day."

"Ah, but you on the other hand have a lot going on. I hear there will be wedding bells in your future, and soon too if I am not mistaken."

Rani grimaced.

"Yeah, Captain Hitsugaya and I have been engaged for about two months now. Our wedding ceremony is only a few weeks away."
