Chapter 12: Confessions

Back at Naraku's castle, all the townspeople have attended the room where the wedding is being held. "My dear friends, we gather here today, to bare witness for the union…" Princess Kagome looks out the window seeing the sun has hit the horizon, cuts him, "Excuse me, can we just skip to the I do's?" Naraku's chuckles at that request, "Go on." He protests.

Inuyasha arrives at the village. No one is around, "They must be at the castle." He said as he heads to the castle. He gets to the entrance, but a guard comes out, "Halt, this place is off limits." He said to Inuyasha. Inuyasha just rolls his eyes, and then punches him, knocking him out. "Cut the crap." He said as he gets in. Inuyasha's friends follow in. "She's in the back." Inuyasha yells to them. Inuyasha can't resist of Princess Kagome's lavender and mint scent, 'I'm so sorry what I said to you, Kagome.' He regretingly thought. He comes to the door listening to the priest.

The priest reads the last, "If there's anyone who objects these two not to be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace." Inuyasha busted the door, right before Kagome and Naraku kiss. "I OBJECT!" Inuyasha shouts. Kagome looks thrilled to see him, but frowns shortly after, "Inuyasha, what are you doing here?" Naraku says to him, "How rude of you to enter a wedding when you're not even invited." Inuyasha growls at him, but turns to Kagome with concern, "Kagome I need to talk to you." Kagome glares back at him, "Oh now you want to talk, well it's too late so if you excuse." She then turns to Naraku to kiss him. Inuyasha pulls her away from Naraku, "You can't marry him." Kagome growls under her breathe, "Why not?" Inuyasha replies back, "He's marrying so he can be king." Kagome rolls her eyes, "I already know that." Naraku interrupts, "Exactly. Come on Kagome my dear let's kiss." Inuyasha takes Kagome's hand, "He's not your true love." He adds. "What do you know about true love, Inuyasha? Hmm?" Kagome asks with a bit annoyance from him. Inuyasha stutters. Naraku starts laughing. "Oh this is precious. The half-demon has fallen in love with the princess. Oh good lord." The people laugh with him. Inuyasha flatten his ears. He looks down, letting go of Kagome's hand, with his bangs over his eyes. "Inuyasha, is this true?" Kagome asks softly. Naraku takes her hand, "Who cares? Kagome with our kiss, we'll be king and queen. Now kiss me." Naraku comes closer to her waiting to be kissed. Kagome looks outside, and sees the sun about to disappear. She slips her hand out, and steps back to the window, "I wanted to show you this before." She said as the sunsets. She pulses. Her fingers have claws on them, her human ears become pointy black dog ears on top of her heads. In mouth has two little fangs, like Inuyasha does. Inuyasha is surprised, Kagome is a half demon like him, "Well that explains a lot." He said. Kagome smiles at him. "Ugh it's hideous, guards remove them from here." A lot of guards come up. Inuyasha and Kagome run for each other, but the guards pulled them far from each. "This marriage is binding and that makes me king." Naraku said as he puts on the crown. He then pulls out a knight, and points it to Kagome's throat. "And as for you my wife. I'll have you back in that tower for the rest of your life." Kagome's eyes were filled with horror. All of a sudden Sango's weapon comes flying in. Kirara, Sango and Miroku beat up so of the guards. They give Inuyasha some time to beats the guards up as well. He draws out Tetsusaiga. The sword is nothing more than a rusty blade. "Naraku, you are so dead." Inuyasha growls furiously at him. "Like that thing is going to kill. Ha." Naraku laughs at it. "Oh you've seen nothing yet." Inuyasha smirks. Naraku looks as the rusty sword transforms into a fang. "Now who is the wimp here?" Inuyasha said. Naraku runs as fast as he could. But Inuyasha is way faster than he is. He slices his head off. "That's what you get for toying with people's lives." Inuyasha said.

Miroku takes off his beads on his right hand. He sees that the Wind Tunnel is gone. "Miroku your wind tunnel is gone." Sango said cheerfully as she hugs him. Miroku hugs her back. Naraku guards release Kagome. Kagome runs to him, "Inuyasha, I'm so sorry for what I said last." She cries to him. Inuyasha sheaths his sword, and holds her in his, "I'm sorry too, Kagome." He said stroking her hair. "And I love you so much." He said with a smile. Kagome look into his eyes while a smile on her face, "I love you too. I really do." Inuyasha cups her chin, as Kagome wraps her arms around his neck, they kiss. Kagome begins to glow and pulses while she flows in air. Her glow breaks the glass windows all around. She then is settled down to the ground. Inuyasha comes to her. "Kagome, are you okay?" he picks her up, to see Kagome still in her half-demon form. "Yes, but I don't understand. I'm supposed to be beautiful." She said sadly, while her eyes were about to be full of tears. Inuyasha scoffs with a smile, "But you are beautiful." Kagome smiles for the compliment. "Now that's what I call a happy couple." Miroku said. Kagome and Inuyasha head back to his hut.

The next day, Inuyasha and Kagome are their wedding at his hut. "I now pronounce you husband and wife. Inuyasha kiss your bride." Miroku said. Inuyasha pulls Kagome into his arms and they kiss. The village people are clapping for them. Inuyasha Then carries Kagome bridal style into their carriage. Kagome throws the bouquet out. Sango caught it and shows them to Miroku with a smile. Inuyasha and Kagome then wave good-bye to everyone. They rode off the distance.
