¤¤If You're Happy, I'm Happy¤¤
Oneshot #9
I didn't want to let go of the love of my life, but I felt as though I had to give them away—as though it was expected of me.
It wasn't fair.
All I could do was stare at the ring that had been placed on their finger—a symbol of their love—and I had to give up.
"Miroku, what's the matter?" Sesshomaru whispered over to me, and he nudged me in the shoulder. "It's a wedding—happy faces."
I didn't want to look as though someone had murdered my mother, and I gulped. "Do I look that bad?" My fingers came up to grace my face, and it was hot. I wasn't sick, but I felt as though I was.
I watched my two best friends in the entire world grasp hands, and the preacher began his long and tiring speech that everyone in the room had heard a dozen times.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today..."
These two—Inuyasha and Kagome—were the definition of perfect.
They had been together since freshman year in college, lived together, and were always the perfect example for what I wanted.
But it wasn't fair.
That long black hair, those eyes that brightened a room, that perfect body, the smooth voice, and the perfect lips that I wanted to kiss.
I straightened my tie, getting a look at my love looking their best on the podium, and I had to admit that I wanted to cry, but I settled for clenching my fists together, and my knuckles turned white.
Sesshomaru nudged me again, and I looked up at the incredibly tall man, nodding slowly.
He knew my current situation, and he also knew that this was hard for me to accept, so he gave me his sympathy that was rare.
My eyes were watering by the bright smile both of them gave one another, and my heart sank.
They had never given me a smile like that.
"If there is anyone in the room who objects to the marriage, speak now—or forever hold your peace."
I could tell how happy Kagome was, and I had to let the smallest smile grace my face; she was a lucky girl.
I bit my bottom lip, and felt like Sesshomaru's eyes were telling me not to do what I was thinking about doing, and boy was I thinking it.
But, alas, I only exhaled deeply, sucking it up.
"I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Inuyasha Takahashi!"
I winced at what was about to come next, and I hoped that I didn't make a noise; I didn't want to watch.
"You may now kiss the bride!"
It was then that I had to look away as Kagome launched herself into Inuyasha's arms, and I wanted to throw up; I wanted it to be me up there in the spotlight.
Sesshomaru's pats to my back soothed me, and I looked around, realizing that as one of the best men that I should be the happiest person in the room, but I looked the saddest.
All I could do was clap as my two best friends came down the steps to the aisle, and the entire room of the church became an uproar in cheers.
If you're happy, I'm happy, I thought while whistling loudly. I'll be fine.
They both walked past me, and his hair touched me, just as it always did from being so long.
Inuyasha.
Brijustme: I've never had a bigger writer's block before, and I'm so sorry that it's been almost a year. But I found that I'm doing my own thing now, and I'm really excited. I started to write my first book in May 2008, and finished it on August 18, 2008. The second was from July 5, 2008, and it was finished on March 4, 2009.
Now—Bri's got nuttin', and is pooped.
I'm trying to come up with a good idea for a new fanfic, and I know that I should finish the stories I abandoned, but I honestly don't remember what Bad Blood was about, but I'll hop on it!
If you notice any errors, it's late, so deal for now, son :j
I'll leave the ending for YOU to decide...!
Much Love
