A/N: Okay the 100 review thing wasn't all that difficult considering I already had 96 reviews, but I appreciate it non the less. So, as I promised I'll continue with the story. I'll try not to make it too short, but don't be upset if it is. I can't help it if I run out of ideas. Well without further ado...

"Hey Shippo?"

"Hmm?"

"When do you think okaa-san and otou-san will get back?"

Shippou turned to look at Rin. She looked worried and he knew why.

"I'm sure mama and Sesshomaru will be back before our ceremony, don't worry so much about it."

"Yeah but-"

"Mama promised she'd be there right?" Shippou asked as he sat up against the headboard.

"Hai." Rin said as Shippou pulled her close.

"Then she'll be there. She's never broken a promise and she never will."

"Promise?"

"I promise." Shippou said as he kissed Rin's forehead.

"Come on, we should get dressed. Knowing mama she'll be back sometime today." Shippou said as he stood up. Rin nodded her head and went behind the changing screen to get dressed for the day. She came out in a pink kimono with sakura petals going down across the front. Her black hair and chocolate brown eyes made her look beautiful.

"Shippou? Aren't you going to get dressed?" Rin asked breaking Shippou from his train of thought.

"Yeah."

Shippou went behind the screen as Rin walked towards the door to wait for Shippou. He changed into a green shirt Kagome had brought him from her time and a pair of black hakamas. They matched surprisingly well. He walked out from behind the changing screen and walked over to Rin. He took her arm and they both headed for the dining hall. Since Sesshomaru was gone and all knew that he had pretty much been claimed as the Western Lord's ward Shippou was now in charge of the castle. The paperwork wasn't all that hard to deal with if you didn't let it pile up like Sesshomaru did. What was a pain was dealing with all the servants. They would try anything to please you and at times they were down right annoying. Shippou sat in his chair and Rin sat next to him. Servants came in with plates full of food and Shippou dismissed them. He sighed as they fumbled over eachother trying to leave as quickly as they could.

'I hope mama gets back soon.'

OoOoOoO

"Why wasn't I thinking! Rin and Shippou's mating ceremony is in two days. I don't need to be wasting time on a wedding. Kami, I can be so stupid sometimes."

"Calm down sweetie. The wedding will only take an hour or two at the most. Then after that the party will-"

"Go on all night. I can't stay here another night mom, I just can't. I promised Rin and Shippou both that I'd be at their ceremony." Kagome said as her mom helped her into her dress.

"Calm down sweetie. You don't have to stay for the party. You can leave right after you're pronounced man and wife if you want." Kagome's mom said trying to calm her daughter down.

"Really I can? You won't mind?"

"No, I'm just happy I get to see you on your wedding day. There, finished."

Kagome's mom said stepping away. Kagome turned around and looked at herself in the full length mirror haning on the back of the bathroom door. The dress was pure white and flowed down to her calfs. It hugged tightly around her waist, accenting her hour glass figure. It was trimmed in gold and the bow tied around the middle was a dark yet light forest green. Kagome's mom had done her hair so that it spiraled down across her shoulders and back. Even though she had cut it a while back so that it barely reached her shoulders it was now long enough to reach her midback. Kagome had refused to wear any makeup. Sesshomaru would be able to tell she was wearing it and to her it would seem like she was trying to be someone she wasn't.

"Well?"

"It's beautiful. Thank you mom." Kagome said as she gave her mother a hug.

"Don't mention it sweetie. Come on, it's time." Kagome's mom said as she led her daughter outside towards the Goshinboku. Kagome smiled at her father as he held out his arm. She looked at the Goshinboku as she passed it. It had been there with her when she went through so much. First meeting Inuyasha, releasing him from the seal, helping her find out what she was meant to do in the feudal era, helping her find her way back when Naraku had sent her back to her time, when she needed a place to be alone to deal with losing Inuyasha, and now on her wedding day. Kagome looked down the aisle and her jaw almost dropped when she saw Sesshomaru in the Celt's version of a tux. He was wearing a white outer kimono since it was pretty much the same thing just with a different name. His hakamas were a pure white much like his hatori. Both he and Kagome matched. Even the sash tied around his waist matched the bow tied around hers. Kagome barely even heard the bridal march as her father walked her down the aisle. The preacher took Kagome's hand from her fathers and placed it in Sesshomaru's. She blushed when she looked up at Sesshomaru.

"Kagome and Sesshomaru, you two have found one another in the hopes of living with one another for the rest of your lives. It is sometimes hard to find that other person we wish to spend the rest of our lives with and we like to bless those who have. That is what we are here to do today. We are here to bless the union of two souls that found eachother in times of need, times of sorrow, times of pain, and times of wanting. Kagome Higurashi, you have chosen Sesshomaru Taishou as your chosen mate to be with for the rest of your life?" The preacher asked turning towards Kagome.

"I have." Kagome said with a smile and a blush. The preacher nodded and slid the silver band around her finger, then turned to Sesshomaru.

"Sesshomaru Taishou, you have chosen Kagome Higurashi as your chosen mate to be with for the rest of your life?"

Everything was quiet for a while and Kagome started to feel worried that Sesshomaru wouldn't answer.

'Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all.'

"I have and always will." Sesshomaru said in his monotone voice. To everyone else they wouldn't have noticed how gentle his voice was at the moment, but Kagome could tell and she started to cry. The preacher nodded and slid the sliver band on Sesshomaru's finger as well.

"Then all I ask of you two is that you be happy with the one you have chosen. You may kiss the bride."

oOoOoOo

Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around Kagome and tilted her face up to look at him. He wiped away the tears in her eyes before kissing her. He felt her wrap her arms around his neck and he deepened the kiss. After a while he pulled away and stared at his wife and mate. He had to admit he liked the sound of it. It seemed to make her even more his.

"May your souls be together and help one another through times of need, times of pain and sorrow, times of grief and times of happiness. You have managed to do what most of us haven't. You've found your chosen mate. We bless you and wish you well. Sesshomaru and Kagome Taishou."

With that everyone bowed to Sesshomaru and Kagome. Sesshomaru ignored them all and kept looking at Kagome. He noticed when everyone started to head inside leaving only him, Kagome, and Kagome's mother outside.

"If you two want you can leave now, or you can stay long enough to have the first dance of the night."

"Is it also part of a traditional Irish wedding?" Sesshomaru asked.

"Hai, it is."

"Then we will stay a little while longer."

Sesshomaru walked inside with Kagome right next to him and his mother-in-law leading the way. Sesshomaru noticed the song playing and led Kagome to the middle of her living room. All the furniture had been cleared out so there was room for several couples to dance at the same time. Though it was tradition to have the main couple have the first dance.

"Thank you Sesshomaru."

Sesshomaru looked down at Kagome and almost smiled at the look on her face. He had never seen her so happy, and he had been the one to make her so.

"No need to thank this Sesshomaru. I would do anything for my mate, and now my wife." He said as he kissed her briefly. The song ended and Sesshomaru started to lead Kagome towards her room to get her stuff when they were stopped.

"Wait! Kagome has to preform before leaving." Souta said as he ran towards them.

"What are you talking about Souta? I don't have to-oh man, I do." Souta smirked as he dragged Kagome towards the middle of the room again. Sesshomaru raised an eyebrow in question and heard laughter behind him. He turned to see Furuka standing beside him.

"Don't look so confused. It's part of tradition in our family that the women preform a song for their husband on the night of their wedding. In this case, Kagome has to preform for you before you guys leave. If you want I can record this." Furuka said holding up a video camera. Sesshomaru remembered when Kagome first showed him a video camera and what they could do. He nodded his consent and turned to watch Kagome.

'The last time she preformed she was amazing, what will she be like this time?'

'Don't forget that our mate has to preform at our ward's ceremony as well.'

'Indeed.'

Sesshomaru heard music he had never heard before. He looked around for it's sorce and noticed Kagome's father behind a big black box looking thing. He was about to go over and investigate when he was distracted by Kagome's voice. Most songs he had heard from her she was singing in English, this time however she wasn't.

"Chikai no yubiwa

Futari no akai ito

Ima wa mienai

Yakusoku mo nai kedo

Tsunaida te o hanasaide

Shinjitsu nara, kanashii dake

Kono mama

Trust in me

Tatoe hodokete mo

Kioku wa kizuna o kesenai

Will you trust in me

Yubisake de tadoru hoshi, mieru deshou

Me o sorasazu ni

Hajimete tsutaeyou

Hitomi ni utsuru

Anata ga sono hito

Kono ayauge na sekai sae

Koete yukeru to shinjiru dake

Anata to

Trust in me

Betsubetsu no sora ni

Otozureru yoake no naka de

Will you trust in me

Yume no naka, nando de mo

Aeru, desho..."

As Sesshomaru listened to Kagome hold the last note he noticed she was looking straight at him. He couldn't help the smile from forming on his face. His mate was indeed a wonderful creature.

OoOoOoO

Kagome finished singing and took a deep breath. She was suddenly surrounded by all her friends and family.

"That was a beautiful song Kagome, where did you learn it?" Yuri asked.

"Guys, let her through she has to go." Kagome's mom said trying to get her friends to let her through.

"Go? Go where? Where's Kagome going?" Eiri said.

"Guys! Let me through." Kagome said, but they all ignored her. They swamped her trying to get answers and trying to get her out.

"SESSHOMARU!"

Something suddenly wrapped around Kagome's wrist and she was pulled out of the group of people. She looked up and found herself by Sesshomaru's side. She wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head on his shoulder.

"Thank you." Kagome said in a whisper.

"We're leaving." Sesshomaru said in his monotone voice.

"Okay." Kagome said as he led the way up to her room. She quickly grabbed her bag and they both jumped out her bedroom window. They reached the well house to see the lords, Souta, and Kagome's mom and dad there waiting for them.

"Well looks like you guys are leaving." Souta said with a smile. Kagome glared at him.

"Don't smile at me like that you little troll. If it hadn't been for you then that wouldn't have happened."

"True, but then you wouldn't have kept to the tradition our family has done for several generations." Souta said with a smirk.

"Hmph."

"Okay, okay enough. Kagome I packed you some things. I hope they'll be useful." Kagome's mom said as she gave her daughter a hug knowing that it might be a while before she saw her next.

"Thanks mom."

"I too put some things in there. I'm sure you'll find a use for them all."

"Thanks dad." Kagome said giving her dad a hug. Kagome turned towards the lords.

"You guys can take off the beads now, it's safe."

They all shook their heads and Kagome looked at them puzzled.

"I think we'd all prefer to take them off once we get back in our time." Dai said and Kagome nodded her head in understanding.

"Thanks for everything. I'll see you next time I come back." Kagome said towards her family. They all nodded knowing that might be a while from now. Then Kagome grabbed her bag and tossed it over the edge of the well. Kolki, Dai, and Sabura all jumped in after it. Sesshomaru pulled Kagome with him to the lip of the well, then jumped in without a word. Once they touched the bottom of the well Sesshomaru picked Kagome up and jumped out of the well. He set her down and she looked around and noticed that the lords were still waiting on her.

"Alright, let's head back to the palace."

With that said Kagome picked up her bag and took to the sky, she didn't have to look back to tell that the lords had all followed her. If they kept up the pace they were going they'd reach the palace by the time the sun set.

A/N: Slightly short but at least I added more to the story. To those of you wondering about the song Kagome sang look it up at youtube. It's Shadow of Love by Olivia Lufkin. Please read and review.
