Inuyasha:


By the time dinner was over we were both full with happy smiles, saying good-bye to everyone, promising photos. As we were walking back towards the shrine I noticed a bookstore that specialized in wedding books. I walked in and found a couple books based on feudal weddings as well as present day weddings with ideas for design and other things. I walked up to the counter and happily paid for the books while we made our way back. "So, did you have fun Sango?" She nodded happily.

"Oh yes. Next time if it's possible it would be fun to bring Miroku and the kids." I nodded.

"Yes if it's possible it would be fun to bring everyone." It wasn't long before we were back at the shrine and we made our way inside, Sango began dressing back into her feudal time period clothes as I started putting the books and my camera with extra batteries and a couple memory cards that I had bought when I first bought this camera into my yellow backpack and I grabbed some more food boxes that my mother had made while we were gone. I also threw in a pen for the books so I could circle ideas. After everything was packed away we walked downstairs, meeting my mother, grandfather, and brother at the bottom of the stairs.

"Thank you very much for everything Ma'am." My mother laughed.

"Oh, just call me Etsuko." She said, winking at Sango and I smiled as we all gave out good-bye hugs before we were walked out and seen off into the well by my family and family cat.

Inuyasha's POV

As we watched Kagome and Sango leave, I couldn't help but feel sad. This was the first time that she was going over the well without me, would the well close? But wait, it wouldn't do that to Sango and Miroku. It couldn't leave pieces of history in the future. I sighed and looked at Miroku seeing he had the same expression that fit my thoughts. We were taken out of our stupor by the twins pulling on the legs of our pants. "Daddy, we're sleepy!" They said to Miroku.

"Well maybe they'll be easier to take care of than I thought." I chuckled and as we walked back to his hut I couldn't help but stare into the sunset, thinking what Kagome must be doing five hundred years in the future. Maybe showing Sango around town and trying to calm her down when what Kagome called a "car" passed by. By the time we got back it was time for dinner, codfish and rice, and it was then time to send them to bed. After sending them to bed I almost wanted to run back to the well, but I stayed put, there was some stuff I had wanted to talk to Miroku about.

"Hey Miroku? Could we step outside? There is some stuff I want to talk about." I whispered. Nodding he led the way out, sitting next to me against the north wall of his home.

"So? What is it you need to talk about?" Before answering I needed to organize my thoughts, which took a little time.

"Well... just marriage in general. I know what it signifies and I know what it means, I guess I'm just nervous is all. I mean, what about after the wedding, I know what that two day time period is used for, but I'm nervous about that as well... I mean, I'm not sure what to think or what I'm supposed to know right now." Miroku sighed and patted my shoulder, chuckling quietly.

"Inuyasha. I don't think you have anything to really worry about. Kagome is a lovely girl, sweet, kind, caring, but also tough and stubborn, which is good to be around you sometimes." I glared at him, punching him playfully in the shoulder. "And as for after the wedding, when it will be time for you two to consummate your marriage, just take it slow for her. Take it slow until she tells you any different, because for a woman's first time, at first it can be somewhat painful." I knew that much, so yes, just keep calm and take it slow when that time comes. Miroku and I just sat there, leaning back when we heard a pair of footsteps coming towards the hut. I didn't open my eyes, since I wasn't sure who it was exactly. It wasn't until I felt a familiar hand, caressing my cheek, that I opened my eyes to see Kagome in from of me.

"You look tired, let's get to sleep." I rolled my eyes.

"Alright." I grumbled, not liking the fact that I had been woken up, but happy that it was Kagome waking me. I got to my feet and sleepily walked into Kagome and I's hut. Before laying down for bed, Kagome set down her bad and began pulling items out of her bag. "What are..." I yawned. "What are those?" I asked.

"Well, these are picture frames. I've brought pictures back with me of my mother, my grandfather, my brother, and I painted your father and mother and put those painting in frames." She said while putting them on one of our window seals. After putting the pictures of my mother and father on the shelf Kagome walked over and sat down next to me, "Now... we have the family with us. Always." I smiled, pulling her into my lap, cuddling her close.

"Thank you Kagome. So," I continued, now awake for the moment. "What else is in that bag?" I asked, it was obviously full of some stuff. She smiled and blushed, reaching into it. I saw her pull books out, but she put one that had some large looking tabs sticking out of the top back into the bag. When she turned around I was scowling somewhat she laughed.

"What? That book has the dresses in it, you can't see it, it will be bad luck." She tsked at me before moving closer to me, opening some of the books. "I wasn't sure what kind of wedding we were going to have, whether it was a feudal era wedding or a modern day wedding like in my time, so I just bought these. We looked through the books for a while at least until Kagome fell asleep. By that time she had circles and checked the things in the book that we both had agreed that we liked. Once she was asleep I looked at her, smiling, feeling lucky that she was mine. She looked so peaceful when she slept, like a baby without a worry in the world. I had really wanted to see what was in that wedding dress book though, so when I was sure that she was asleep I looked in the bag and carefully picked up the book, making sure the tabs and everything were the in exact right place. When I went to look at the pages she tabbed I was almost overwhelmed with her beauty. These were what she called, pictures, and they were ones of her, and she was so beautiful in them. I think for our wedding I did want to have some of the modern things like Kagome wearing one of these dresses and to have what Kagome called vows.

I also looked at the list that Kagome had made with me after putting the book away. It was a list of people we wanted there, granted it wasn't big, it was just big enough. Most of the ideas we wanted together were all written down on this notepad to discuss it all with Kaede tomorrow, so sleepily I put the notes down, took off the top of my clothes, and laid down, snuggling close to Kagome, pulled her close to me, her warmth breath hitting my chest. As I was beginning to doze off, I heard Kagome giggle. "You're a cheater Inuyasha. I'm too tired to be mad at you, I guess it's not really bad luck since you don't know what dress I will wear if we go modern." She whispered, placing a kiss on my chest, sending a shiver up my spine "Good Night, you cheater." I chuckled and pulled her close.

"You're... You're not mad?" She shook her head.

"Nope. I love you my sweet cheater."

"And I love you... my eavesdropper."
