Before:
"Kagome," said her mother,"Have you already had a wedding ceremony in the feudal era?"
"No"
"Then I will begin planning for one. I'll schedule it for next month!" She said suddenly exited.
"Excuse me, Mrs. Higurashi? I would like to help in the planning."
"You sure can! But I get to pick the clothes you're going to wear." She said back to Shessoumaru, with an evil grin on her face.

Two weeks later

"Kagome! Kagome Higurashi! Get your but down here before mom cancels your appointment at the fitters!"
"Tell mom I'm coming Sota!"
As his older sister thumped down the stairs, and out the door, Sota decided to follow them out the door. He was really disappointed in his sister. He had really liked Inuyasha. She wouldn't even tell him why she was marrying this guy instead of Inuyasha. As he waved them off, he heard a strange sound, like buzzing.
Investigating, he walked around the corner and his mouth dropped to the floor.
A green strip of light was coming from Shessoumaru's hand. He used it to slay make believe enemies. His eyes were closed and he was locked in a never ending dance with himself, reliving past battles, trying to hide the scars that he had received from them. Soto had found a new hero.
"What do you want, little sibling of Kagome?"
Shocked out of his sudden adoration, Sota managed a calm, "That was cool. How did you do that?"
"It is a natural talent that has been in the Inuyokai family for generations. And I fail to understand how it was 'cool'."
"Oh. Cool means awesome or really neat." Sota sighed inwardly. He had had to explain this to Inuyasha too.
"Is that all that you wish to know?"
"Yep."
"Good." The strip of light disappeared into Shessoumaru's hand. "Would you show me around this city? Kagome's mother told me to pick up my 'tux' at a shop called 'everything for a wedding'"
"Yea, I could take you there. And I can get that game I wanted! We just need to get you something… normal… to wear."
"My outfit is not normal?"
"No, it's not, so let's go see if we have any of my dad's old stuff."
Sota walked into his house and climbed down the stairs to the basement. Looking through the boxes, he found one labeled 'Dad'. He ripped off the tape, and pulled out one of the outfits that his dad used to wear all the time.
Sota gave Shessoumaru the clothes and pushed him into the bathroom. Five minutes later, he came out wearing a black American style shirt and jeans. Sota could not find any shoes that would have fit Shessoumaru, so he told him to wear his own. There was only one problem.
"Shessoumaru, you can't have that fur thing in public. You would be hauled away to the crazy bin!"
"Fine."
He set his fur and swords down on the coffee table and he and Sota walked out the door. Leading him down the street, Sota had to think very hard to remember which way to go to get the store that Shessoumaru needed. It was in the mall, so it was a left on sakura road, a right onto ichigo lane, and then just follow north kichimi until you see the mall. They walked through the giant double doors and found a directory, walked to Shessoumaru's store, had his suit fitted, walked to Sota's store bought the video game he had been wanting, and walked back home.
By this time, the girls had come back, and Kagome's mom had put both the suit and the dress in a closet and contacted the caterers and the decorators and had them come over to scout out the shrine for the wedding itself.

Kagome crawled into bed after a long day helping her mother. Shessoumaru, watching her fall asleep through her window, was thinking. The things he had seen on his trip to the store were very interesting to say the least. The 'cars' Kagome said people used to get to far places were very stinky, and the television was indeed a foreign kind of magic.
The thing that really troubled him was that there were too many humans around. He could not sense any demonic auras at all, in a place they could be thriving. He could not sense any at all, even when he had done his morning meditation, and scoured the whole of the continent for them, he found only very dull auras from the blood of humans that could have been a distant relatives.
He thought he would live for a least another thousand years. But, if he did not appear here, that means that he had died earlier. What had happened to him?
Ignoring these questions in his head, he examined his bride to be. He wondered at her flawless hear-shaped face, and her wonderful figure, and found himself opening the window to sit himself down on the floor in front of her bed. He laid his face in front of hers, and gently drifted to sleep.
