I do not own these characters. They belong to Rumiko Takahashi. I own the plot.

Chapter 21

She kissed him again quickly and headed outside.

Time flew by and before anyone knew it, four days had passed and it was the day of the mating and wedding ceremony. Kagome was getting dressed as was Sesshomaru and the others.

One of the females came in and said "you cannot marry my Sesshomaru bitch. He is mine." She goes to attack her but Kagome grabbed her wrist and broke it, burning the skin. The demoness started screaming and crying, catching the attention of everyone, who came running.

Upon entering the room, they saw Kagome looking beautiful and Hanna, the Southern princess, glaring at each other deathly.

The Southern Lord, Ryu, asked "what is happening here?"

The Princess smirked, unnoticeably to any but Kagome, and said, fake crying "she came after me and broke and burned my wrist when I said I was happy for her and Sesshomaru-sama."

The Lords arched their eyebrow and looked at Kagome, who was looking murderous. "And your side Miss Shikon Miko?"

Kagome looked the Southern Lord in the eye and said "I was getting ready for the day, as you know it is mine and Sesshomaru's formal claiming day, when she came in and said that I could not marry Sesshomaru and that he was hers. She then tried to attack me and thus I broke her wrist and burned it."

The Lords nodded, hearing the truth. Ryu looked at her daughter, who was now looking murderous. "Young Lady, you will behave or I will send you home and have you married to Daiki immediately. You ought to be ashamed of yourself ; your engaged and you still go after a soon to be mated man. Enough, we will let you finish preparing."

Kagome bowed slightly, "thank you Southern Lord."

He nodded and everyone filed out, save Sango, who was helping her prepare.

The ceremonies went along without a hitch and they went to the 'reception'. They had their first dance as a married couple and Kagome said to Sesshomaru "I love you."

He leaned down and kissed her. "This Sesshomaru loves you also." She smiled and leaned her head against his shoulder…Hours passed and finally Kagome and Sesshomaru had had enough. They were ready to be complete. They said their goodbyes and headed to Sesshomaru's room.
