Chapter 10: Wedding, Wish, & The New Moon
A/N: Loving all my reviewers! Thank You! Arigato! Gracias!
The rising sun brought many awaking faces of villagers ready to prepare for the upcoming wedding. Every one in the village had a role to play or a job to do for the preparations of this joyous day. Lady Kaede was the sole dirrector, having each person doing what should be done. Lady Tani was arranging the flowers Sango picked out, around the site of where the ceramony would be held. Hiroshi had brought the white and purple kimono to Sango. He then brought Miroku a black kimono with dark purple armor and a white silk top to go under the black kimono top.
"Thank you!" said Sango calmly.
"For what?" Kagome replied in the same mono tone.
"For everything. I probably wouldn't be here doing this today if it weren't for you. I apriciate everything you've done for me. I'm glad that you became the best friend or sister I never really had. You're my only family now. I'm happy that I could share this day with you." Sango told her happily.
"I'm so glad you feel that way, ...sister." Kagome paused for a moment. " Um, Sango?"
"What is it?" she replied.
"I didn't get a chance to tell you this. The other night when you came to my room and I was asleep. I woke later that night and went to the hot springs. There, I met up with Sesshomaru. He asked me...to uh...be his mate. Only, for me he would have a human wedding. I told him Yes!" Kagome said proudly.
"I never really thought Sesshomaru was the type to care for humans. I guess any one can change. I'm just glad you found happiness. I was begining to worry about you. I couldn't stand to see you hurt." Sango told her now true sister.
"I'd like to say some force that watches over, brought he and I together. Oh, I said the same thing about him changing. He saved me. Not only from loneliness but, also from death. I still feel sad deep down but, I know he will heal my broken heart over time." Kagome's words held wonder and slight sadness.
"I pray for the best for you sis!" Sango finished.
Kagome sat and did Sango's hair into a fancy loose bun. She placed a purple and white jeweled lilie flower pin on the right side of the bun. Sango had kept her make up the same as it usually was. Since Sango didn't have her ears pierced, Kagome bought a pair of clip on earings that matched the lilie pin in her hair.
"You look ravishing!" was all Kagome could say.
"Domo arigato!" Sango bowed her head. ( I don't like to do this but for those who don't know what she said, it's thank you a lot or very much.)

The wedding had begun. Lady Kaede had stated the prayers and recited the traditional words of commitment as Sango and Miroku repeated the words to each other. Each stared deeply in one another's eyes. After all the pains and journies, this was to be their happiest moment. They had longed for each other from the day they met and now the were together to be joined together for the rest of their life.
"Miroku-sama, do ye take Sango-chan to be your loving wife for the rest of ye're life?" Kaede asked sternly.
"I do more than ever!" Miroku exclaimed.
"Sango-chan, do ye take Miroku-sama to be your loving husband for the rest of ye're life?" Kaede asked again.
"Hai, I do with all my heart!" Sango replied as happy tears fell from her face.
"I now anounce ye loving couple, man and wife. You may kiss your beloved." Kaede said as the two leaned in for a most passionate kiss.
"I love you, my dear wife!" Miroku whispered in her ear as they held each other with all their love.
"I love you too, my wonderful husband!" she whispered back.
For the first time since they met, Miroku groped Sango and all she did was blush at his actions. She no longer minded since she got the one thing she truly desired. True love.

The wedding ended as the party began. All the villagers were having there fun. The hours passed by quickly and it was soon getting dark. Many who had children left off to put them to bed. The party had died off and those who stayed behind helped clean up and left as soon as it was done. A great gift was given to the newly weds from Kaede. It was a hut of their very own on the edge of the village. Still close to the well but father that they had privacy.
All had left and the children were off in their rooms asleep. Jaken was also nocked out in the main room of the large hut near the well. There were only two beings wide awake, sitting outside on the small wooden porch.
"It such a lovely night." Kagome said in a dreamy voice.
"The moon is becoming dark. Seven nights left till your day of happiness." Sesshomaru told her bringing a blush to her cheeks.
"Yeah, about that, we need to go to my time and talk with my family. I wish for them to know you. Seeing as your my soul mate, you should be able to pass through the time well with me. I may never see my family again after I wish on the jewel to make it disappear. I want to say good bye and have them know the one I fell in love with before hand." she said calmly.
"What ever you wish." he spoke.
"I would also like for the human style ceramony there with my family. This way I could share one last special moment with them. Is that okay? We don't have to have it in this era." Kagome asked him almost begging.
"Hai, as you wish." he replied.
"Then tomorrow we go. I'll have Lady Kaede help Jaken to keep eye on the children." she said excitedly.
"Sesshomaru, I need to know. Will you love me no matter what I look like?" Kagome asked curiously.
"Hai, seeing as it was your personality and sent that made me fall for you." Sesshomaru answered.
"Thank you so much! You've given me all I ever wanted." She wrapped her arms around him as he replied the geusture. He leaned his head and softly kissed her lips once again making her blush. They stayed like that until she fell asleep in his arms. He picked her up and brought her to her bed and suprisingly, she kept grip of his kimono shirt so he lay next to her and watched as she slept. He soon fell asleep as he was drowned in her glorious sent.

The morning light peared through the curtains of Kagome's room. Chirping of birds were heard as they flew by the hut. Rin and Shippo started they're normal routine of picking on the grumpy toad youkai. Sesshomaru spoke with him as of last night when he managed to move from Kagome's sleeping form that he would be gone for a couple days. Jaken would be in charge of the children and take them with Lady Kaede to eat. It was soon time to leave.
"Oh...um, good morning." Kagome rolled over to see Sesshomaru peering out the window.
"Good morning, Kagome. Ready to leave?" he said softly.
"Just let me change and we can go." she aplied.
As he nodded she walked behind her changing seperator and pulled on a figure fitting white kimono dress with red floral stitching and no sleeves. It went down to her ankles with a split on either side reaching mid thigh. She placed her white flip flops on and walked to her vanity to pull her hair into a bun with thin strands hanging by her ears.
"Ready now, lets go!" She said cheerfuly.
He stared at her beauty for a moment as she grbbed his hand a dragged him off. The Shikon jewel was wrapped around her wrist. Just before they were to jump into the well, she grabbed his hand and intertwined their fingers with the jewel in between their palms.
"Ready?" she asked. He nodded in reply. They jumped in they well with his free arm wrapped around her waste. Suprisingly it worked as they were met with the light purple glare and dropped into the well once again but in her time era.
"Yes, it worked! Now, lets go meet my family." Kagome held tight as he grabbed her and jumped out of the well.
The two walked out of the well house and into the court yard. Her family were outside doing daily chours.
"Oh, Kagome your home!" Mrs. Higurashi ran to her daughter and gave her a warm motherly hug. "Who's this you've brought with you? I thought no others could pass through."
"I'll introduce him once Jii-chan and Souta come here." Kagome said to her mother.
"Hello sis! Wow, who is he? He's cool looking!" Souta said excitedly.
"Kagome, how I missed you! Who is this handome fellow, wait a minute, a demon?" Kagome's grandfather asked.
"Hai, now that your all here, this is Sesshomaru. Inuyasha was his half brother." Kagome explained.
"Nice to meet you!" Mrs. Higurashi bowed and he replied the geusture.
"Seeing that you have eligance and manners, I agree, very nice to meet you Sesshomaru-sama." Jii-chan bow his head and once again Sesshomaru replied the same.
"Wow, you look tough! I remember sis saying you are a lord." Souta bragged. Both Kagome and Sesshomaru nodded.
Jii-chan became weirdly impressed and ran into the house to put a more formal kimono on since royalty was at their home.
The rest of them walked inside and sat on the couches in the living room. Sesshomaru was staring at all the strange devices in Kagome's home. Everything was new to him but he shown no sign of emotion toward his thoughts. Souta even had him watch as he began to play a game on his PS2. Jii-chan finally came out of his room in a black kimono set with a red belt tied at the waist.
"Mama, I need to tell you all something very important." Kagome started.
"What is it dear?" her mother asked.
"I may never get the chance to see all of you again. I'm going to wish on the jewel so it will no longer exist. I came her today so that you could meet my soon to be husband and soul mate. I wish to have a small wedding on these grounds with Jii-chan performing the ritual." Kagome finished saying.
"My grandaughter is getting married to a Lord!" Jii-chan said with stars in his eyes.
"Why of coarse sweety. Welcome to the family, Lord Sesshomaru." Kagome's mother said and gave both a heartfilled hug.
Four days later, the two were married and given a small feast. The only people there were Kagome's three frinds and her close family. None realized he was a demon or a lord except for her family. They were just all happy for her since the last time they saw her, she told them about the death of Inuyasha and seen her sadness. Only one thing was left to complete their marriage. The new moon was in just two more nights and a wish was still to be made. It would wait though, until the two were back in their era.
----- -----
Kagome and Sesshomaru arrived in the fuedal era the morning before the new moon. This would be the night their lives would be complete. As soon as they returned, Kagome went off to give the great news of her marriage to her companions. Sesshomaru on the other hand went to speak with the ever annoying companion, Jaken.
"Jaken." Sesshomaru sternly spoke.
"Hai, Lord Sesshomaru-sama?" Jaken questioned.
"I have taken a bride and she will soon be my mate this night." Sesshomaru started.
"May I inquire, who is to be the Lady of the West?" the toad youkai asked.
"It is the young miko, Kagome." he replied.
"What? Why her? She is but a mere human, my Lord!" Jaken half yelled in shock and anger.
"You will accept her and adress her as your Lady. If for one moment I hear you disobey, your life will be taken. Do you understand?" Sesshomaru spoke in an erie angered tone.
"Hai, as you wish, my Lord." Jaken bowed his head in defeat.
--- ---
"Oh, Kagome, I'm so happy for you!" Sango hugged Kagome tightly.
"Ai, I'm glad to see you smiling again my dear friend!" Miroku exclaimed and bowed his head.
"I can still be with you though huh Kagome?" Shippo cried with puppy eyes thinking that now that she was to be mated that she wouldn't want him any more.
" Of coarse Shippo! I could never abandon you. You are practically my son. You life is with me now." Kagome said tenderly as she held him close.
"I also came to give other news. After this day, I will permanently live in this era. I've chosen a wish to be rid of the Shikon jewel. The time well will be closed so I already bid farewell to my family. I just hope you will all still want me around after the choice I make." Kagome told the three sitting around her.
"I'm glad you'll be here always! And what ever choice you make must be for the best. We will always want you around no matter what." Sango explained as Miroku nodded in agreement. Shippo would aprove no matter what cause this was now his mother.
"Kaede already aproved my decisions. And now that I know you guys do too, then my mind could be at ease. Thank you!" Kagome proudly spoke as she felt the weight lift from her being.

Night had fallen, nothing but the stars filled the dark endless sky. This would be the night that eveything would change in Kagome Higurashi's life. She would become Lady of the West and mate to her newly found love. Kagome walked slowly to the Goshinboku. She was nervous about her wish, mating, and everything that would follow. She would totally be out of wits if it weren't for Inuyasha as he appeared for a few moments to give her his best wishes. Now the time has come and she was to meet her mate and begin her new life.
"Sesshomaru?" Kagome called out softly as she reached Goshinboku.
"I'm here my love." he said as he jumped off a branch and landed without sound in front of her. A blush appeared on her cheeks at his loving words.
"Before we become complete, I must be rid of the Shikon no Tama. I waited to make a wish with you by my side." she said and he nodded for her to continue.
"Midoriku, I tried a wish once before but you could not grant it. You said there was something bigger meant for me to have. Inuyasha told me I would know when the time is right. Now I know and I'm ready to make my wish..." Kagome was barely cut off as a brilliant pink light surrounded the soul mates.
"Hello again fair Kagome! You need not say your wish for I see what lies in your heart. I will grant your wish for you have found your life and soul. Your wish is granted and best wishes on your true love. Farewell!" Midoriku chanted.
A blinding light absorbed both Kagome and the jewel of four souls. Sesshomaru had to sheild his eyes until the light had disappated. What stood before his eyes was nothing he could ever imagine. Kagome turned to face him and seen the look on his face. All she could do was blush and smile at his look.
"K-Kagome?" Sesshomaru stuttered. She smirked at his obvious shock.
Kagome stood at five-eight, her normal hieght being five-three. Her once round ears were pointed at the tips and small sharp fangs obvious from her smile. A black cresent moon marked her forehead as two lavender colored stripes abrazed each side of her cheeks. On the wrists of each clawed hand lay a single lavender colored stripe. Her once brown eyes now were a clear bright ice green and a long black fluffy tail twisted itself over her inner elbow down to her knee. She truly looked like a Inu goddess.
"Yes, Sesshomaru?" Kagome spoke seductively.
"Your Beautiful!" he said. Sesshomaru started to loose his control once again. Her enormis beauty completely woke the demon with in and his eyes shot to full blood red. "Ready my mate?" he growled in a seductive tone.
"More than ever!" she moaned.
As the night wore on, the two made love and marked one another as mates for eternity. This was bliss, to finally know where each belongs. The feeling to realize their fullest potential and dreams. Even the once cold Lord, shown love and compassion that he himself never knew he had. For days they would embrace in the beauty of their love and mating. Nothing could ever break their passion once it had begun.
