Chapter 10: Marriage

"I do."

"I do."

"Then, by the power invested in my, I pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Rin smiled as InuYasha lifted up her veil, leaving over and kissing her softly.

The whole church burst into applause at the action and Rin joined in, smiling and laughing as InuYasha was swept his bride off her feet in an elegant sweep, pulling her in for another kiss.

She smiled then swept her eyes away from them, looking over the smiling, happy and in some cases famous faces that graced the couple with their smiled and applause. But she sighed in her mind. He didn't come.

The music was so fast and lively that everyone was dancing and laughing, toasting the couple. They looked so happy together.

"Rin?"

She looked over at the voice. "Hey InuYasha."

He looked at her, dressed in a dark orange one shoulder dress with a simple flower at the shoulder. He smiled and put a hand on her bare shoulder. "Thanks."

She looked away from him. "For what? I didn't do anything."

"Yeah, but ya tried. And don't waste your thoughts on him. He's not worth it." She frowned a little and he smiled softly. "Come on, give me a dance." He grabbed her arm and pulled her to the dance floor, sweeping his arms around her and giving her a lively dance.

Rin sighed as she danced then put her head on his shoulder.

"Ya worried about him?"

"Yes."

"Ba, he's not worth it."

"He is. I just… wish he was here."

"Even after what he did to you?"

"Yes. Even after everything he did."

"Keh… you are one strange woman."

Rin smiled and hugged him tight, slowly dancing close to his body for a while, despite the fast music. The silver haired brother kept hold of him, a hand on her back and another on her shoulder, his head pressed deep into her neck.

After a while, she felt something strange.

Like… death is right before me. Her eyes widened. It… it can't be.

In her arms, InuYasha looked up from her shoulder and staggered back just in time as another silver haired man pulled back his fist and punched him in his nose, breaking it and making it bleed.

The guests all gasped in shock as the groom staggered backwards, holding his nose but the older brother grabbed hold of the woman and pulling her away. She staggered on her heels but her face was shocked as she was dragged towards the bathrooms.

She hardly had time to think before she was pulled over and lifted up so she sat on the edge of the sinks, the door swinging closed behind them and as he locked it in place.

"Sesshomaru."

"Rin."

He stared at her for a moment then grabbed her neck and pulled her into him, kissing her roughly. Her hands closed around him and she felt him trembling slightly, disguising it in his pushes and pulls around her body.

People banged on the bathroom door, asking if she was alright and what was happening but she was too happy in his arms to really pay attention to them.

Sesshomaru could make love to her right here and now and she wouldn't care.

But then she blinked and pushed him away. "Sesshomaru. Stop it."

"Rin. I want you."

"You… you broke up with me."

"Yes. And it was the biggest mistake I've ever made." He bit into her neck as tightly as he could. "I… I don't want you as my slave anymore Rin."

Rin sighed into his neck. "What then?"

"I don't know."

Her hands closed around him and tears threatened to fall from her eyes. "You broke my heart."

"I'm sorry." He sighed, leaning back and kissing her lips. "Rin…"

"I… I loved you."

"I still love you." He sighed and stared into her eyes as they began to clear. "Come on… we're missing a party." He kissed her again. "And you did promise to come here with me."

She smiled and held him tight. "Let's go then."

He grabbed her hand then pulled her down from the sink. She only came to his chest but the heels lifted her a little more. He smiled then pulled her back to the main reception. "Come on."

They walked out of the bathroom, arm in arm, a crowd of people outside, waiting for them. Rin managed to smile but Sesshomaru pulled her past them to the dance floor and began to dance, holding her tight to his chest, arms wrapped around her tight.

"Oi! Sesshomaru!"

They broke apart and Sesshomaru blinked as his brother came over, drips of dried blood on his shirt. "What?"

"Why the hell did you punch me?!"

"Serves you right for dancing with my girl."

"You didn't have to punch me! For god's sake, it's my wedding day."

He sighed loudly and turned his back on the brother. "Then consider yourself lucky."

Kagome appeared then and held his arm. "Come on, time for our first dance."

Rin smiled, holding Sesshomaru tight and stood at the edge of the floor as the two lovers stood in the middle of the floor and the music started.

Oh beautiful. Very fitting for them I think. Bryan Adams, Everything I Do. I love it! And they look so perfect together.

Rin clapped and cheered as they began to dance, the music so fitting to them. How they met, all they had gone through, how they deal with each other's problems… everything! It was perfect.

Then, before she even knew it, she was dancing as well, being led by the silver haired man in her arms. InuYasha growled at him then looked at Kagome who was smiling and with her eyes on Sesshomaru who was staring at Rin.

The two couples danced around each other. It was a little strange that two couples could be doing a first dance. But InuYasha carefully bumped into his brother. "Piss off." He muttered then span Kagome around, avoiding them.

Rin smiled, pulling him away from the dance floor and to the crowd. He held her tight, watching his brother and new bride. Rin leant up and kissed his cheek. "See?"

"See what?"

"You're happy. This is all thanks to you. This is your family Sesshomaru."

He stood, watching as Kagome kissed his brother. Then he shifted slightly. "Rin…"

"Umm?"

"I know what I want you to be."

"Oh? What?"

He looked his eyes to her then turned to her. "My wife." He put his hands in his pockets then knelt down to the floor. "Rin… will you marry me?"

The music continued but everyone turned to look at him. Even a glowing angry InuYasha stopped.

Rin blinked at him as he pulled out a ring bock. "Proposing at your brother's wedding?" She said, straight faced then shook her head, looking away. "Trust you."

"Well?"

Her smile grew, eyes moving back to him. "Of course you moron."

Slowly, he stood back up and leant into her and putting the ring on her hand.

"Oi, Sesshy!"

He looked up just in time as InuYasha punched him in the nose. "Fucking hell InuYasha!"

"Well, now were even." The half-brother huffed then grinned. "You made my wedding unforgettable, I made your engagement unforgettable!"

Sesshomaru held his nose and gave one of his death glares but everyone laughed. Even Rin. And he gave up and laughed himself.

That was almost as scary as the stare.

The End
