Introduction:
She looked down in awe at the man kneeling before her. She blinked a few times to make sure it was real. That she wasn't dreaming. That he really wasn't just a figment of her imagination. After the moment registered in to her mind, tears formed as she shook her head enthusiastically to his proposal.
"Yes." She managed to squeak out between nods. Before she could have time to react, she was swept away into a pair of strong arms.
Swinging her around merrily before engulfing her in to a passionate kiss. Amber met Light blue as they stared at each other lovingly. Completely oblivious of the upcoming trials they were about to face.
Chapter One: Her Return
She blew a strand of loose hair from her face as she rushed around trying to keep things in order. Setting tables, organizing guest lists, rearranging chairs, tableware, flowers, dresses, music. She was completely exhausted. Cursing her independence and her want to plan everything with out help from a professional, she stood back up and continued her pursuit for the florist who had managed to screw up yet another one of her orders. With a sigh escaping her lips she turned the corner only to end up walking in to a very hard chest. Waiting for the impact of her fall she opened one eye only to be faced with the man that was the cause of all this commotion.
Void of all emotion except for the hint of amusement and mischief in his eyes, he pressed his lips on her sweat driven forehead.
"Good day my little diamond. How are things managing?" He asked smoothly in his silky baritone voice. "Have you decided to take my offer and consider hiring some assistance?"
With a 'hmph' and a sigh she let her self be engulfed in his arms. Taking in his scent a small smile crept on to the corners of her taught mouth. "No Sess, you know I don't want you to waste money for some little prissy asshole to just come in and criticize my decorating skills. Besides, we wouldn't need one anyways, it's too late." She replied with a sigh.
A small smile tugged at the corners of his mouth as he studied his fiancé.
"Very well." He replied as he placed his mask back on.
"You know, I hate it when you get all into you're I can't feel attitude." She pouted as she noticed his eyes go back to their normal bored look. "You should really start showing some sort of..... feeling once in a while. Not just with me."
"Like that's ever gonna happen Gome'! Sesshomaru is a walking block of ice and you know it!"
Turning her gaze to the corner she smiled at the two approaching figures.
"Kikyo! Yasha! You came so early!" She greeted.
"Of course. I couldn't just sit at home knowing you were decorating your own wedding with out any help." Kikyo teased as she hugged her cousin. "Kagome, you and I both know you would be pulling your hair out trying to place something in one spot."
Putting her hand up in protest she was shushed by the arms that snaked their way around her petite figure. Feeling the warmth of her beloved around her, she quickly forgot her smart remark towards her cousins comments. Smiling as she thought about the day ahead, she anticipated more for the future they were about to share. In less than 10 hours she would be exchanging vows with the man she spent 3 years with. The feeling of being content settled into her as she turned around. Looking up at those golden eyes that seemed to mesmerize her, she unknowingly traced his features softly, causing an army of Goosebumps to cascade down his arms. Shivers ran down the back of his spine as he gave her a chaste kiss on her lips.
"Awww damn. Come on now." Inuyasha whined as he made a gagging noise. Kikyo slapped the back of his head before grabbing his ear and dragging him somewhere, leaving the couple to spend their moment together.
"I love you." He whispered in to her ear. "And I love you." Kagome replied.
"If my knowledge serves me right, isn't it bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the big day?"
Kagome pulled out of her world stood looking at her sister. "Sango! Stop being so superstitious." Kagome retorted rolling her eyes.
Leaning her head to the side Sango looked at her younger sister and smiled.
"Okay. Since it's your big day I'll stop my superstitious lectures. Just this once though." She said playfully as she set the boxes down and grabbed her sister into a tight embrace. Tears slid down her face as flashbacks of their childhood found their way into her mind. Wiping them away quickly as she began to be pulled away.
"God Kags, you grew up so fast." She said unconsciously. "But even if you're grown up and married, always remember, big sis is here for you, always." Kagome couldn't stop her own tears as she grabbed her sister into another tight embrace. Sesshomaru squeezed Kagome's arm and nodded towards Sango when she gave him a small smile.
"Take good care of her Sesshomaru. Love her with everything you have and more." She said more then asked. Sesshomaru simply nodded at her request.
"Everything I have. Mind, body, heart, and soul." He replied.
Sango couldn't help but smile at the regal male once more before letting her sister go.
"I better get back to this. Knowing Kagome she'll lose her mind if everything isn't set up properly for later on." Sango stated as she picked up the boxes and dodged Kagome's failed attempt of an attack. Sticking her tongue out before turning the corner Sango taunted her sister more. Kagome just shook her head and smiled.
"Big day my little diamond in the rough. Today is finally the day." Sesshomaru reminded her pulling her out of her memories.
"OH MY GOD!" Kagome yelled out as realization dawned on her. "The guest are gonna be here in like 9 hours! Everything still isn't set up!"
Sesshomaru watched his future wife in fascination and amusement as she ran around in a frenzy trying to set everything up once more. He held back a small chuckle as he watched her zip past her sister nearly knocking the poor woman down. A smirk wound it's way on his elegant features as he watched his brother get yelled at by his own fiancé.
Placing his neutral look back in it's place he turned back around swiftly and glided towards the doorway of his hotel.
"Mr. Taishou" The doorman greeted and bowed in respect as he passed through. Nodding once more he briskly walked towards the next doorway and repeated the same gesture when acknowledged by his employees. With a couple more strides, the young tycoon found his way to the gardens. Staring up at the beautiful blue of the sky he let a content sigh escape his lips.
"Nice to see you again. Sesshomaru."
His nerves immediately tensed as he brought his eyes down on the creature that dare invade his time of peace. Surprise was the only word you could describe his reaction, careful not to show it, he stood there staring in to the Red eyes of the woman who haunted the very depths of his soul since that one day 4 years ago.
"Kagura." He replied coldly. "To what do I owe this displeasure?"
Never taking her eyes off of him she took a step forward.
"I came back, for one thing, and one thing only." She replied. "And that is to claim what is rightfully mine."
If he was not a man of his stature he would have snorted right than and there.
"Foolish woman. I belong to one, of that you are correct, but that one is not you." He stated bluntly. "You lost me the day you left." Frowning in displeasure she quickly averted her gaze somewhere else.
"And to who? Who is the pathetic little girl you have replaced me with? Surely she is just a rebound." Kagura protested.
Sesshomaru eyed her dangerously.
"That 'little girl' as you call her happens to be far from a replacement wench. You will learn to hold your tongue before you find your self thrown off of my property." Sesshomaru warned her. Tensing up at the threat she darted her gaze back up to his heated eyes.
"You mean to say, we're no more?" She questioned.
"I will not repeat myself to you." Sesshomaru stated with more ice in his voice then before. "In a mere 9 and a half hours, This Sesshomaru will be married. You have nothing to come back for Kagura, of that I can happily reassure."
Turning around gracefully he walked away leaving the astonished woman to her own thoughts.
"I will get you back Sesshomaru, one way or another, you were mine then as well as now. Of that YOU can be assured of." She said to his retreating form.
'I will get you back. Married or not .' With her final thought into place she turned the opposite way and walked on.
