Remember Not To Breathe…

Chapter 9

After The Rain

The wedding was beautiful, colors only seen in the greatest gardens of the world. A white dress for the bride, so pure it could rival an angel's glow. The wedding had taken place in Japan. The season, winter. It had been a few months since all the madness and murders they found out Ayame was behind.

An officer had pulled the bride away from her new husband, who growled in protest.

"Hope everything works out," said Kouga as he hugged Kagome and gave her a loving smile. After everything with Ayame and the murders he had remember his crush, Kikyou Yuuhi. Now that he thought about it, Kagome did look like her in some angles.

"It's been fun working with you."

Kagome playfully punched his arm at his remark. "How could it have been fun? I was always looking down at you and there were murders we had to solve."

Kagome thought back to all the past events that had occurred in the last few months. Kouga had told everyone he really did remember Ayame and was shocked when he found out she was behind it all. After all she did work right in their office everyday.

Kouga had also pointed out that he didn't even talk to the people she had killed any more. They were just old friends and when school had ended so had their friendship; proving Kagome's point that the woman was just crazy.

"I've wanted to ask you before, who are those two kids? Over there?" He pointed over to a corner table in the large ballroom were their wedding was taking place. There sat Edmond and Kamiko. For once, the girl was wearing a bright color dress, though it was mostly gray with pink patches. Her makeup as lighter as well and in her purse she had brought was no doubt a change of clothes and a book.

Edmond looked hansom in his black suit; his hair done differently and his arm being held by Kamiko, who sat on his right. Kagome saw them wave over to her, Kamiko more enthusiastic then Edmond, and waved back, giving them a smile in return.

"Oh, just friends," Kagome finally answered him.

That's right, Kagome had to keep reminding herself that no one remembered Edmond and Kamiko, besides herself, Hiroshi and Hakudoshi. Kamiko had removed all the memories of the last few months, of their existence even, with Hakudoshi's help. They were all becoming stronger with their powers. It was a little frightening sometimes, other time reassuring.

They became a two man group helping Kagome out with cases she may have needed help solving. They secretly found others with different powers and began making meeting points all over the world; the only thing was that everyone you knew couldn't know you anymore. When Hakudoshi became sixteen he was going to officially join the group himself. Hiroshi was one of their only outside contacts with the world, plus he was a great hacker. He still had yet to tell Kagome how he really felt and didn't want to go to her wedding; he said he was in mourning.

"Get away from me you two timing pervert!"

Kagome looked to Sango Taijiya, Inuyasha's secretary, who was angrily walking away from the wedding director, Miroku Houshi. He seemed to have fallen for her beauty in one meeting, a meeting over flowers, or so he said. Inuyasha didn't believe him and his helper, Shippo, didn't seem to either.

Kagome thought it was cute while Sango just cursed him out; she noted how Sango's cheeks flushed with embarrassment and not anger. Kagome also saw how one minute he was all for the journalist then the next then the next he was sitting in a corner with ice on his head for feeling up another woman's behind. Kagome didn't pay much mind to it, seeing as how most of the woman there were cops and what a lovely job he did dressing up the place. Plus, she knew Sango was attracted to the man, the little shine in her eyes gave it all away. Inuyasha was fine with the raven hair man as long as his big blue eyes didn't pop in Kagome's view.

Kagome excused herself from Kouga and walked over to another couple and thanked them for coming.

"Uncle Inuyasha!" Kagome smiled and looked at her husband hugging his niece, patting her own stomach. That one night when she took the birth control pills coming to mind, 'They didn't work…' She knew Inuyasha would be happy when she told him later; Kagome wanted it to be a surprise on their honeymoon. Thank god her stomach wasn't too big yet, it only looked like she gained a few pounds, but Kagome thought Inuyasha might already have an idea of what's going on. After all she hadn't had her period in a few months.

"Kagome," Inuyasha's brother had taken her hand and kissed her gloved fingers.

"Hello Sesshoumaru," she hugged him tightly, ignoring his uncomfortable stance.

It's been so long, hasn't it?" Kagome pulled back and reached down to hug Rin.

"Yes, it has. You're going to have to come over and see Rin's new friend soon," Kagome lifted an eyebrow, knowing what he meant, a pet.

"I have a new friend?" The little girl asked, looking up at the two adults who smiled down at her. Kagome guessed it was a surprise for when they got back to New York.

Cameras flashed everywhere Kagome went, making her eyes see white and orange dots. Kagome wanted the one of Rin throwing the flower petals down the walkway before Kagome and Inuyasha had said their vows.

"Kagome, it's time to cut the cake," Kagome waved good bye to Sesshoumaru and Rin as she was pulled toward the front by the red haired teen, Shippo.

Kagome would have never thought that she had been, not to long ago, looking for the murderer that drowned people to death. And here he was, at her wedding. Ayame a prisoner in an all female jailhouse, and the world was still turning.

Kagome remembered back to the night when she was in the closed school, they had tricked her and knocked her head into something. Next thing she knew Kamiko was there waking her up, telling her that everything was going to be alright. Kagome couldn't help but wonder if Kamiko had removed some of her own memories of that night. What Kagome did remember just didn't feel real sometimes.

More Flashes of someone's camera and clapping was heard as both Kagome and Inuyasha took hold of the knife and cut the first piece.

-----------------------------------

Inuyasha and Kagome ran out the building toward the white limo waiting for them. Almost the entire women crowed followed, Kagome hadn't thrown the flowers yet.

"Ready?"

Hands reached up for the bouquet full of blue and white flowers. When it was caught Kagome looked around to see who held them, while all the other girls smiled and congratulated her.

"Sango?" Inuyasha asked himself; running a hand through his mane as he got into the car, Kagome after him.

Blue eyes glistened and walked up to the woman, "You see, Sango, even the goddesses of love wants us to join those two in the hall of marriage."

"Give it a rest; I don't even know you like that!"

The couple waved their goodbyes out the window as the limo driver started moving the car. Kagome saw her mother blowing her nose into a tissue and Souta standing next to their grandfather waving back at them.

They were going straight to the airport, straight to the Bahaman's where it would be warm and sunny. Kagome couldn't wait anymore, she had to tell him.

"Inuyasha," She halfheartedly tried to push him away from her neck.

"I'm pregnant."

"Kouga…Kouga,"

This female's voice echoed in the jail room. She was by herself, sitting on the top bunk of the beds in the corner. Her once long, silky hair was dimmed and shorter. She wore an orange jump suit and her shoes were under the lower bed. Her back wasto the bars that reminded her everyday that she was in a cage.

"I'll see you again, Kouga," Ayame bit down on her skin, crimson blood slipping out of the self inflicted wound.

"One day you'll forgive me, for killing all your friends. And we'll be together again."

She didn't remember anything about the two teens, about Edmond drowning her targets, about Kamiko removing memories. All she knew was that she was the reason why all those people were dead. And it all had to do with the past; …Kouga.

"I'll get out of here and see you again..."
