"Where are you going?" "To a dress shop." "Hey, sis, I've heard of a shop around Main Avenue. Yusuke's there trying on a tuxedo." Minutes later, at Maita's Dress Kingdom,
Maita: "Good morning, Sir, Miss."
Shizuru: "I need a wedding dress."
Kazuma: "A- a Wedding Dress?!!"
Maita: "Come with me and I'll show you some of my best dresses."
Maita led them into a room filled with long gowns.
Shizuru: "Wow!"
Kazuma: "They look expensive. Look, sis, if you're just daydreaming of getting married, you'd better stop now. I think you're getting too far. Besides, who would marry you?"
Maita: "Ah! What about this dress? This is my latest creation, simple yet elegant."
Shizuru: "I'll take it."
Kazuma: "Are you kidding?! Where are you gonna get the money to--"
Shizuru: "Please send the bill to Sakyo Valdez."
Kazuma: "What?! Are you not telling me something?"
Maita: "Okay, Miss Shizuru Kuwabara. Here's your dress. Please try it on first so that we can make the necessary changes to it."
Later, in Sakyo's office…
Karasu: "Mr. Valdez, look at this!" Karasu handed Sakyo a piece of paper.
Sakyo: "Ria, read it."
Ria: "It's a billing from Maita's Dress Kingdom. A pair of shoes, a pair of gloves, stockings, headdress, bouquet… WEDDING DRESS??!!"
Bui: "Is one of your two girls here going to get married?"
Ria & Marie: "Of course not!!!"
Sakyo: "Okay, okay, I have been keeping something from you guys but I think it's time you learn about it. I proposed to Shizuru."
Karasu: "And?"
Sakyo: "And she accepted. We're getting married next month."
Silence and shocked faces followed.
Ria: "… T-that's… that's great!"
Marie: "You shocked us, Boss, but that is terrific!"
Bui: "I can hardly believe it."
Karasu: "I'm so happy for you, I could blow you guys up."
The day of the wedding came.
Kazuma: "I can't believe it, (sniff) you're finally getting married."
Shizuru: "Oh, where is he?"
Meanwhile…
Karasu: "Mr. Valdez, you're already late!"
Ria: "Yeah, Shizuru's gonna freak out if you don't get there soon."
Sakyo: "A-alright. I-I…"
Marie: "Here, Boss, wine for some courage." Marie handed Sakyo a cup of wine, which he gulped down.
Sakyo: "Okay, let's go."
And so, the wedding went on. They were pronounced man and wife. Then, after the wedding, Shizuru threw the bouquet. Hiei was just passing by when the bouquet landed on his head and got stuck in his hair.
Hiei: "What the…"
Ria: "Hm, interesting."
Marie: "Very."
Maita: "Are you two thinking what I'm thinking?"
Ria: "Finding a suitable bride for Hiei?"
Marie: "People, here we come!"
Maita: "Come on, my fellow cupids, let's get moving."
Hiei: "Don't you do anything funny!" Hiei started moving backward as the three closed in on him.
Marie: "What's the matter, Hiei? We're only going to help you get someone that suits you."
Hiei broke into a run and the three ran after him.
