A/N: I revised this 1st chapter to give people a little more background

Seeing Sesshomaru

"Kagura! Come on girl, you're taking forever" snapped Sango, tugging on the hem of her black strapless dress. Her white bow was tied tightly under her breast. Her long brown hair forced up into a bun. Behind her, the dressing room door opened.

"Be patient, Sang, this is her big day" Kagome said. She gave her bun a slight readjustment. Her curly raven hair was also tucked into a tight bun, with 1 loose curly strand framing her face. Her black dress hugged her firmly giving her curves a chance to be shown.

"All I need is the veil" Kagura replied, exiting her private dressing to join the girls. She had to grab a handful of dress to avoid tripping over the extremely long fabrics of her dress.

Her veil was wrapped around her neck, obviously her failed attempt of putting it on herself. But her gorgeous hair was not ruined. A ringlet and beautiful tight 1950's style curls adorned her head, with the remaining of her hair laying down her back, just wavy and cute. She had it draped across both shoulders, to replace the lack of straps she had. Her traditionally white wedding dress was modified. Her strapless dress had two clam shell looking cups to give her groom a peek of what she had to offer. Her small waist helped the dress, giving her an hourglass appearance. And the bottom was like the end of a ruffled gown from the 1700's. And she looked like a goddess wearing it.

"OMG Kagura, you are beautiful" Ayame, her flower girl, gushed.

"Thank you, it cost like a million dollars but I love it" Kagura laughed, detangling the veil from her neck and handing it to Kagome.

"It simple Kagura, really" Kagome said, unwrapping the clear head band and placing it neatly in between her ringlet of curls. The veil had little holes that lined up perfectly with her band so Kagome clipped it in.

"Done" she announced, admiring the veil. Sango glanced up briefly before returning to her book "Lock & Key".

"Can one of you go check on Naraku, see if he's done?" Kagura asked, stepping into her white heels.

"I'll go" Kagome offered, she wasted no time excusing herself from the room and walking down the hall to the boys' dressing room. She knocked softly twice.

"Enter" a man's voice called, and she gently turned the knob and opened the door. She stepped in and was assaulted by the sight of the sexiest man alive. His long silver hair was forced into a ponytail and partially covered by a tall hat. His designer suit was both sophisticated and breath-taking. He wasted no time in giving her a quick look over but his façade was stoic and indifferent.

"This woman, just like the others, gawking"

"May I help you?" He asked, he did not appear friendly but yet he was not hostile in any way.

"Is Naraku ready? Kagura is done getting dressed" Kagome said quickly.

"He finished awhile ago" Inuyasha cut in. He went to high school with Kagome and was not fazed by her appearance.

"Oh, ok, I'll let her known, we can begin" She said nothing more, just leaving the room in the moment.

"Interested, bro?" Inuyasha teased, his stoic brother was not only three years older but had virtually no interest in dating.

"Why asked irrelevant questions?" was Sesshomaru's only reply to his question. A new one in Inuyasha's books.

The wedding music began, the guys were already lined up and writing for Kagura's appearance. The flower girl, Ayame, had already come down the aisle. The two bride maids had also, and all that was left was Kagura.

Her entrance was stunning. She stood perfectly straight walked slowly avoided tripping and made it safely to the end of the walkway. She glanced lovingly at her fiancée, before standing straight and giving full attention to the priest.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the holy matrimony between these two people, Kagura Feather and Naraku Origumo. If there is any reasons for these two to not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace" The priest said. The silence in the room was his only response.

"Kagura Feather, do you take Naraku Origumo as your lawful wedded husband?" The priest asked, Kagura turned to face her husband-to-be and said "I do"

"Naraku, do you take Kagura to be your lawfully wedded wife?" The priest asked, and he wasted no time saying "I do".

"I know pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride" the priest said and it was beautiful to watch Naraku lift the veil over her face and plant a kiss on her lips.

"The reception starts in 45 minutes at the hall down the road. Please meet us down there" Kagura shouted; she and her now husband hopped away in their decorated limo to the reception area. They agreed not to change until after the reception. Kagome and Sango were in the car behind theirs and the boys had yet to leave the church.

"I can't believe this, our future looks so bright. We have graduated from high school, we're married and then we're off to college in the fall. What can go wrong?" Kagura smiled, she was super close to her husband and they enjoyed the peace and quiet.

"Nothing darling, I love you and that is all we need to get through the rest" Naraku answered, blinking the sleep from his eyes.

"And here come, the bride and groom" someone announced, turns out the guests rushed over from the church to the party and were awaiting their arrival.

Kagura flashed her biggest smile and Naraku just nodded his head. Everyone was clapping and cheering for them.

"Speech, speech" chanted the friends in the room, so the bride and groom took their place at their private table. With Kagome, Ayame and Sango to the left, and Miroku, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha on the right.

"Thank you everyone for coming today. I couldn't have made it through today without my girls Kagome and Sango. I couldn't even get the veil on without Kagome's help. I am so happy that all of friends and family supported us on this decision to get married. We know we're young but we are high school sweethearts and that's what is going to help this marriage last" Kagura was almost in tears, so she sloshed her cup in the air and take a sip.

"I am glad to have my fellas here; sitting around waiting for my wife to get ready was boring enough. I can't wait for us to get home and really enjoy this wedding day. But before that, I want my child to have a godfather. Sesshomaru, will you stand please?" Naraku asked. Sesshomaru was never one to follow orders but he stood as told.

"Do you, Sesshomaru Taisho, agree to be my child's godfather? To raise, cherish and love him or her like any parent would and take care of her if something happens to Kagura and I" Naraku asked. Everyone was shocked by this sudden and unexpected declaration, but Sesshomaru knew he would probably never have children of his own.

"I agree to raise your child if something befalls on you and Kagura" Sesshomaru said curtly. Naraku took that as enough, and raised his glass in a toast. Sesshomaru excused himself from his family table and was about ready to go.

"Please be careful" Kagome said loudly. Sesshomaru looked down to see he was about to bump into a cartful of desserts and spill them all.

"Thank you Higurashi" Sesshomaru said stiffly. He was appreciative, what man of his class walks carelessly into a cart of desserts.

"Call me Kagome, if you don't mind" Kagome laughed, she could tell he really didn't know how to relax and have fun.

"Sure Kagome" he tried it out on his tongue, he was quietly enjoying this up close view of Kagome.

"See you later Sesshomaru" Kagome said with a little wink as she walked off.

8 years later

"Kagome, Kagome! We are going to be late" Sango yelled, she had laced up her black boots and was waiting for Kagome to finish up her hair.

"Two seconds Sango, I have to fix my bun" I yelled back, I was ready for the big event. I lightly touched up my make-up, and then raced downstairs to hurry to the door. Sango put her foot to the pedal and raced down to Kagura's new house. Naraku's job in the Taisho corporation as one of the lower level workers made him enough to buy them a small apartment; 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom in a decent part of town.

"Kagome!" Kagura squealed, she propped herself up in her reclining chair, her arms outstretched. Her stomach was huge; it was poking out further than most pregnant women's do.

"OMG Kagura, you're about to pop" I rushed over to hug her, making a conscience effort not to crush her stomach.

"Thank you so much for coming. I hope Sesshomaru and Inuyasha make it by. Miroku is upstairs helping someone with something. And I am pretty much done with the nursery, If you want to go see" Kagura said calmly. I placed her gift on the community table and wandered upstairs. I walked into the nursery. Beautiful yellow flowery wallpaper was hung up on the wall. The crib, a lacy light yellow object, was shoved over in the corner, near the changing table. The table was a solid wooden dresser with an area on the top to the changing pad at the top. There were enough drawers for diapers, wipes, and a change of clothes. It was a modest room, and I was happy to see that my toy would have a place to stay in the toy box. I was afraid to stay much longer, considering I was missing more of the party. I quickly wandered back down to the party, to see the Taisho brother arrived.

"Kagome" Sesshomaru said calmly, she looked up to see him. He was stunning as usual.

"Hey Sess" I replied, and he didn't seem to notice that I called him Sess.

"How are you?" He asked in a friendly tone.

"Good, it's been a long time since I've seen you. How have you been?" I asked.

"Good, I am supposed to be the godfather of the child. So I am here to make sure she enjoys herself" Sesshomaru replied.

"I am excited for you. It must be such an honor to be the godfather of your friend's first child" I was happy for him. I wanted to be a part of Kagura's pregnancy but she didn't know me well enough.

"Yes, it is quite delightful. I have never had a child before, but I do have a little brother on the way. My father remarried and his new wife is pregnant" Sesshomaru said quickly.

"Well, now your brother has a playmate. I'm sure you are glad to have this opportunity" I laughed. Then the scene changed.

"My WATER BROKE" yelled Kagura, she was clinching her stomach and screaming at the top of her lungs.

"It's ok, calm down. We have the bag in the hall closet, and we are ready to go" Naraku reached out and grabbed her hand. She squeezed it extremely tightly, waddling to keep up with him. I stuck around to grab the bag of clothes.

"Sango!" I yelled, I wanted to follow them out to the hospital.

"There is room in my car, Kagome" Sesshomaru answered quickly, He grabbed lightly on her shoulder and guided her to his BMX. She was excited, she wanted to see the birth of the Kagura's eldest child. Sesshomaru showed no other appearance of worry or nervousness except for a slight twitch of his finger as he drove.

"It's ok, don't worry about the birth of Rin. She is definitely going to be happy to have you as a godfather. Not that she'll ever need to live with you" Kagome teased.

"I am not worried" was the simple statement Sesshomaru gave, as he gave his full attention to the road. The rest of the ride was rode in silence during this time. I was nervous, hoping we aren't too late to witness the birth of the new baby. Kagura was the first to marry, the first to have a child, and the first to move out of her parents' house. I, however, still live with my mom in the Higurashi shrine, and I don't really date much right now.

"We are looking for Kagura Origumo, she came in to have a baby" I exclaimed at the front desk, but the Nurse refused to let us know where she was.

"Please wait in the lobby, we will let you know when Mrs. Origumo can have visitors" The nurse replied, and that was all she said.

It was an extremely long wait but after several hours, the nurse allowed Sesshomaru and me to visit Kagura. She was literally wiped out, lying on her back resting.

"Kagura" I whispered, gently touching her shoulder.

"Mhm, Kagome and Sess. Thanks for coming" Kagura mumbled, she appeared drugged out and exhausted.

"You knew we would come for you, get some rest" I gave her a gentle touch and then inched out with Sesshomaru.

"Where is the baby?" Sesshomaru asked calmly.

"They are put behind glass to be observed by the nurses. We can go see them now" Kagome stepped out in front and showed Sesshomaru the way to the baby window. In a little box labeled Rin, was a beautiful baby. She was no bigger than the rest of the baby, but she had this smile on her face that drew your attention to her.

"Sess, have you seen Rin yet?" Miroku asked, he was standing with Sango.

"Yes, she is beautiful" Sess admitted, he was now a part of this little girl's life.

"Sesshomaru, can I talk to you?" Naraku asked, he took him off to the side.

"What is it?" Sesshomaru questioned.

"Kagura and I have an appointment with the lawyer to create a living will and testament. We are going to name you as the sole caregiver for Rin. However Kagura wants you to try and be friends with Kagome because she is also a part of the baby's life" Naraku said

"Ms. Higurashi and I are friends" Sesshomaru stated. He turned to glance at her, the slip of the woman was cute and she had a future in front of her.

"Good, why don't you go with her to see Kagura and the baby" Naraku suggested, he stayed behind.

I could hear them talking about me but I continued down to Kagura's hospital room. She was sitting up, with the baby in her arm.

"Can I hold her?" I asked; Kagura smiled up at me with warm eyes and a gentle smile. She stretched her arms out and I reached for the baby. She was so tiny and almost weightless in my arms. She held onto my finger with her tiny hand and I couldn't help but smile at her. I turned around to see Sesshomaru standing in the doorway.

"Why don't we allow Mrs. Origumo to rest?" The nurse recommended. She didn't hesitate to take the baby from my arms and place her in the crib. Then she ushered me and Sesshomaru out of the room.

"Why don't we go out to dinner?" Sesshomaru suggested and I couldn't help but agree. He drove us in his car, and took us to a nice restaurant.

"Thank you for this lovely meal" I said at the end. Sesshomaru took me home, walked me to the door nicely and gave me a peck on the cheek.

"I enjoyed your company Kagome, talk to you tomorrow" Sesshomaru started to leave. This is the first time since high school that a boy has taken me on a date, even if it was impromptu. Could Sesshomaru, this hot businessman, actually be into me? Like OMG! I am wanted, I am desirable.

"Sesshomaru, wait!" I called out after him. He turned around slowly, to face me.

"Are we going to start dating?" I asked stupidly. He chuckled slightly, and I couldn't predict what he was going to say next.

"Let's start as friends, if that's ok with you Kagome" Sesshomaru answered, and I could tell this was going to be the beginning of something special.

Eight Years Later

"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Rin, happy birthday to you" the crowd sang in unison.

"Blow out the candles, sweetie" Kagura whispered. Rin stood up, leaned over the table, and blew out her eight candles.

"Yay!" Rin squealed, because she knew she was going to eat her vanilla cake with vanilla icing and then open her presents. Rin, Kagura, Kanna, Naraku, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, Sesshomaru, an 8 year old Inuyasha and a 5 year old Jiro came to her party. Big hunks of cake were passed out to everyone, and then everyone walked around.

"Hi Rini" Inuyasha smiled, this was the first time that he has ever been around his brother's friends in public.

"Hey Yasha, thanks for coming to my party" Rin replied, and then she ran off to play with her friend Jiro.

"Jiro! Don't ruin your new clothes" Sango yelled, rubbing her full belly. She was pregnant again, with twins now.

"Boys will be boys, Sango" Miroku said, laughing it up with Naraku.

"Sess, can you get the gift out of the car?" Kagome asked, she and Sesshomaru were now engaged. And have been dating for 4 years.

"No problem baby" Sesshomaru was almost CEO of his father's company, he was engaged to a beautiful public defender, and life was perfect. Sesshomaru hurried to the car to get the envelope for Rin, then came back just on time.

"Can I open your gift, godfather?" Rin asked.

"Sure Rin, here ya go" Sesshomaru handed her the entire restaurant. Rin carelessly tore into the envelope.

"What is this?" Rin asked, she handed the papers off to her mother.

"Well Rin, your godfather got you three 3-day passes to Disneyland" Kagura smiled, she knew Sesshomaru spent an arm and a leg for that but she appreciated it.

"Sess, I gotta go. Turns out this case I'm working on got a new lead and we have to check it out. Sorry baby" Sesshomaru whispered.
