Ok, here's my first actual, chaptered story. Just so you know, the chapters are all really short because each one is just a change in POV. Ummm... Not much to say, really. Mmmm... #looks around for something to say# Enjoy?
"He asked you to marry him!"
Kagome fell back on her bed, still holding the phone to her ear. She sighed with content as she had been since the night before. Just remembering how romantic her boyfriend—no, fiancé—had been made her close her eyes and bring the details more clearly to the surface of her mind.
"Yeah," she replied blissfully after a pause.
"You said yes right? Tell me you said yes!"
With a giggle, Kagome rolled onto her stomach, propping herself up on her elbows.
"Of course not!" she said, sounding scandalized, "I couldn't ever possibly marry him! What would my mother say?"
"What! You said no! Are you crazy! He's the best thing that ever happened to you!"
The young, black-haired woman rolled her eyes and sighed again, this time with exasperation. Sometimes her friend was just too gullible!
"I said yes alright? And yes, I can be lacking in sanity from time to time."
"Thank Heavens! I thought you really said no. This is great, though! Can I be the maid of honour?"
"Whoa, whoa! The wedding's not going to be for a while and of course you can be the maid of honour. Who else would I choose?"
"Where are you two going to be married?" Botan asked—she was going on a roll now, "Will it be in a church? No you can't do that, it's too traditional. Besides, neither of you go to church. How about the beach? That's always really romantic. The setting makes it perfect! Oh, but you and Hiei both really like the winter, don't you? Where's a good place to get married in the winter?"
While her best friend mulled over her new dilemma, Kagome did some thinking of her own. Where would they be married? Someplace out of the way and quiet, most likely, and without too many people. Hiei wasn't one for big and formal affairs. In fact, he didn't even like his own birthday because it meant a party.
Kagome closed her sapphire blue eyes and smiled, remembering that his birthday had been a little over a month ago. The look on his face had been priceless when he had walked into the home they shared, intent on relaxing after a long day at work, only to have his eardrums blown out by screams of "Happy Birthday!" Even Yusuke's dog, Buddy, had barked along as they sang the traditional birthday song.
With a smirk, Kagome then remembered how Hiei had glared at them all and went up to his room anyways. It had taken quite a while to coax him out after that, but it had been worth it. He HAD come down eventually. Of course, Buddy had then pounced on him and proceeded to lick Hiei's face off. THAT had almost ruined it—and Kagome was pretty sure Yusuke had trained him to do it—but she knew that, secretly, Hiei had enjoyed the whole event.
"Oh! I know! You can get married on a mountain! It'd be perfect. The ceremony could be held in a cabin and…"
Kagome sighed again and realized it would be a while before she'd be allowed off the phone.
