He stared deeply into her eyes, fascinated by her beauty.
"I want to be with you forever", he whispered in her ear, "As do I" she replied, with a sweet and delightful voice.
The moment he heard her he crushed his lips onto hers, passionately, so he could show her how he really felt after all these years of hiding his feelings towards her.
"I want you to make love to me" she whispered silently, and she knew he heard her, well, of course, he had an inuyukai hearing. "Your wish is my command" he said teasingly, while getting ready to observe her full body for the first time. "I love you… Kagome"
"Kagome! Kagome, wake up!" Shippo shook her as she started to open her eyes.
"Oh, finally, we thought you'll never wake up" Inuyasha said, "what were you dreaming of?" he asked "nothing" Kagome replied.
She knew she had to keep that one for herself, because she knew Inuyasha won't be so happy to hear about that dream, to say the least.
"Whatever. Anyway, we gotta hurry if we want to make it to the village in time" Inuyasha said, he knew they had a long day before them, after all, it was Sango's and Miroku's wedding-day.
"Oh my god! We're gonna be late" she screamed while she stood up fast, accidently throwing Shippo to the dirt "AWWWW" he shouted as his face hit the ground "Oops! Shippo, I'm so sorry, It wasn't on purpose!" she panicked "he's okay Kagome, let's just go" Inuyasha said while he jumped off the tree and whipped off the dirt from his haori.
The moment they got to the village Kaede attacked them "what were the three of you thinking? The ceremony is in three hours and you still need to get dressed" she said while grabbing Kagome's hand "come on darling, you got to get yourself clean and dressed before the ceremony, after all, you and me are the Mikos in the ceremony".
'She's right' Kagome thought to herself while she was being led to the hot spring to get cleaned 'Today is Sango's and Miroku's special day! I can't let my mind wonder around in my thoughts today! I have to be focused!' she ordered herself while getting undressed and stepping into the hot water.
"That baka Inu! I told him to get you here earlier! Now we don't have much time" Kaede said.
"I'm sorry Kaede, it was my fault, I slept in for too long and Inuyasha didn't wake me up!" Kagome replied "It's okay child, we're gonna get you ready in no time. Sango's already dressed and the only thing that's left is to do her hair".
"Why isn't her hair done yet?" Kagome asked "because she wanted you to do it" Kaede replied.
Kagome smiled, Sango was like a sister to her and she has been waiting to see her since the group split, and Sango, Miroku, Kirara and Kohaku got back to Kaede's village.
She couldn't believe that a year had passed, and when she heard the news from a farmer who passed by, she was thrilled.
'I wish that Inuyasha will finally admit his feelings towards me so we can be together' she thought to herself 'but if that's what I really want, why do I keep dreaming of him? Those thrilling, realistic dreams?' She shook her head in disapproval 'that's absurd! I can't possibly have feelings towards him, can I?'.
"I'm ready" Kagome said after she was done with adjusting the hakama. "you look beautiful" Sango said with a big smile while tears started showing on the tip of her eyes.
"Thank you Sango! Don't cry! You will ruin your makeup!" Kagome said with a wide and warm smile "I'm just so happy that you are here on my special day! You are my closest friend, and even if we don't share the same blood, you are like a sister to me. A soul sister" Sango said with cheerful voice and a big smile "and you are mine" Kagome said, smiling back to her.
"We don't have any time to waste! The ceremony is starting soon and I need to finish with your hair!" Kagome chuckled.
"How much longer are we gonna wait here" Inuyasha complained "Hush Inuyasha, here they are" Kaede said with a smile towards the two beautiful ladies.
"I'm sorry it took us that long, I just wanted to do her hair perfectly… what is it Inuyasha?" Kagome said while looking at the paralyzed hanyu "he's just amazed of how GORGEOUS you both look" said Shippo, teasing Inuyasha.
"Shut up! ...But he's right... you are beautiful" Inuyasha said, including them both, but looking directly at Kagome "Th- thank you" Kagome replied, as she felt her cheeks getting red.
"Okay children, it is time" Kaede said while grabbing Sango's arm "let's go".
Kagome and Kaede started their purification ceremony that they both practiced, and when they were done Kaede walked to the middle of the shrine and started the ceremony while Kagome went to be by Inuyasha's side.
"We call you, our beloved and respected Kamisama, to bless Sango and Miroku today, for they will become one in soul, heart and mind, and to ensure their happiness and luck in their union-" Kaede said, as she started to pour Sake into three cups.
After she was done with the prayer she gave Sango the first cup to take a sip, and then she passed the cup to Miroku. She did the same with the two remaining cups.
After they were done, Kaede closed the ceremony.
"Sango and Miroku, I hereby declare you two are bound by the sacred vow of marriage" she finished, and everyone clapped and threw rice and ribbons on the newly- wed couple.
"So that is how human couples claim each other as mates? , you humans are so ridiculous with your absurd rituals" Inuyasha said silently "Osuwari!" Kagome said "what was that for?! I meant that this is different in my world! When a yukai or a hanyu claims someone as their mate, they mark them!" "How exactly?" Kagome asked, with angry-ish but yet interested tone.
"the demon stick his fangs in the gap between the neck and the right shoulder of their mate-for-life" Inuyasha replied.
"Ewww that sounds gross!" Kagome said with disgusted look "what is?" asked Miroku as he sneak up behind them, and placed each arm on each of their shoulders, in some sort of a group hug.
"Inuyasha just told me about the tradition of demons mating!" Kagome said with a sour face "Hey it's not that bad" Inuyasha said with a tiny smile while Miroku laughed like he just heard the best joke in the world.
"You two are such a funny couple!" Miroku said while laughing, and Both Inuyasha and Kagome blushed.
"Congratulation" a deep and hard, yet sexy voice said behind the triple.
The three of them turned around just to witness the inuyukai in front of them.
"Thank you Sesshomaru" Miroku said, confused of his appearance at the wedding "I was just passing by, and heard the news, so I thought it will be 'nice' if I'll congratulate you" he said with his deep, cold voice, that send a chill down everyone's spine, accept of Kagome, who gasped.
'What is he doing here? Why do I even care? Why the hell did I just choked? WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?' she thought as she realized that all of them where looking at her, with confused looks.
'Why have I dreamt of him, from all the people I know, HIM?' she thought to herself.
'Why have I dreamt of Sesshomaru?!'
