Marriage

-The sounds of pouring rain became a background noise as a car skidded past a tall gate, stopping just about past it.

The doors opened, revealing a lonely figure. It was a man with striking white hair on the border of being blue and silver.

A pair of dark shades covered his eyes making it hard to tell his eye color. But they will surely be stunning. He walked to the gate under the rain without getting wet, as if the waters were doing him an honor.

Silently, he waited, leaving his car to zoom away. After what seemed like an endless wait, the gates finally moved.

"Mr...?" The man under the umbrella asked.

Kai didn't speak. He made a slight gesture revealing the pass he was given. Upon noticing it, the guard's attitude changed, becoming more welcoming.

"This way Mr Kai"

Kai nodded satisfied.

Kai was led to a large structure within the gates but he seemed unfazed as if he had seen bigger, scarier things.

The guard knocked on the door a few times before it finally creaked open bringing in the sight of darkness.

"This way Sir", he led him deeper into the darkness.

After a while they broke out of it to a room moderately lit, though too big for one.

The guard walked forward bringing him in front of a door in the room.

"He awaits you" he spoke.

Kai just nodded as if bored by the whole process. Looking at the guard's leaving silhouette he sighed and opened the door.

In the room there was a table capable of fitting ten people. Five people sat behind one side of the table, leaving one empty chair opposite them. On noticing his arrival one of them with a color similar to his stood up. He smiled.

"Mr Kai" he proclaimed

Kai just gave him a slight smile, sat on the empty chair and asked, "Where is my wife?"

The people opposite him grimaced, obviously by his lack of respect.

"Now calm down will you, she ain't running you know" A man said, with eyes so deep and color opposite his -Black- His hair matched his eyes appearing even darker. It didn't take one to know that he was his target. The person in charge.

Kai cleared his throat, showing his agreement.

"Lucifer, that's my name" the man called. "This", he said, pointing to his right, "Is my wife"

"And that man standing is your wife's father, the woman beside him is her mother and the girl beside her is your wife."

He proceeded to introduce the others on the table.

"Now that you know us, why don't we know you as well" he suggested.

Kai sighed as if he had been given a difficult chore.

"I'm Kai"

Lucifer nodded

"So, now that you've seen your wife I believe we should arrange a date for the union" he paused, "Or do you prefer taking her today?"

"If possible" Kai answered almost immediately

"I already have her bride price, I would like to take her with me today."

Lucifer smiled, glanced at her parents, and then looked down at the bride in question.

"What do you think Sia?"

A woman with white hair similar to her father's, a lean figure as if just growing flesh, with her head lowered, looked up, then looked at her mother, looked at the man in question before turning to her grandfather. She nodded albeit slowly.

Lucifer smiled, before bringing his gaze to Kai. "I guess we should make it official now huh?" he said bringing out a paper.

"Sign here, and here and she is all yours".

Kai took the paper and signed it without hesitation.

"They will arrive tomorrow" Kai said, then added "with the bride price. Tell them anything you need, make arrangements with them too".

He then turned his gaze to his wife, stood up and said "Let's go"

Sia gazed up, looked at her parents with reluctance but eventually stood up knowing she was delaying the inevitable. She walked towards him and paused, then bowed to her grandparents before following the man out of the room. Her father was not too far behind, serving as their escort to the exit.

They reached the tall gates, with the rain still as heavy as it was and a car almost identical to the car that dropped Kai before mixed with the shadows.

It parked silently to the gates but it's fuel was still burning. Kai opened the door, allowing Sia in. He closed it and turned around to head to the other door when he felt a cold hand on his elbow. He was met with a pair of eyes full of lurking emotions, different from the indifferent eyes he saw earlier in the meeting.

"Please..." Sia's father pleaded.

"I understand" Kai replied giving off a confident vibe. "Your daughter will be safe with me, I promise"

Those were the last words exchanged between them as the car disappeared into the distance.

With a figure still standing outside the tall gates, he sighed and went back in.

Whereas in the car there was silence, with two people leaning on one side of the door. One with a somber expression wondering what awaits her in her new home and one with an expression unreadable with the purpose of his marriage unknown.
