A month had passed, Kikyo's and Inuyasha's wedding was tonight.
Kikyo was in a dressing room, with Fox, Kagome, Sango, and Elisa.
"I can't do this," Kikyo states, as Sango was putting the finishing touch on her wedding kimono
"You can and you will. You love Inuyasha, don't you?" Kagome asks,
"Yes," Kikyo replies, "with every fiber of my being,"
"Then suck it up," Sango states,
"Says the one who has refused Miroku's proposals five times in the last month," Elisa teases, she had come to like these girls, they were her friends and she knew that they were from the past, but they were well adjusted to the life in this century. Sango was even in the police academy after she got her GED of course, Kikyo was planning on going into med school, she didn't know what Miroku planned on doing, but she hoped it wasn't with women in sight.
"His proposals always end up with him groping me," Sango replies,
"Just breathe, if anything no one will be looking at you, my dear." Kagome states, "We had to tell the guests that the one of the Maids of honor is very strange. Sango, we'll discuss your commitment issues later."
"One glance at this demonic looking creature here, and they would die of fright," Sango teased that put a smile on Kikyo's face.
"So you are now ready to meet Inuyasha before the Priest?" Elisa asks,
"Yes," Kikyo answers,
Kagome was wearing a modified version of a priestess' garb, so her tail and wings would fit easily; Kikyo was in white kimono, sent over from Japan since Mama Higurashi couldn't be here. Sango was wearing her normal outfit from the feudal era; Elisa was in her kimono she got over in Japan during her world tour due to Avalon's magic.
Kagome tapped on the door to signal Midoriko that they were ready, the music began playing. Kagome, Sango and Elisa went and took their places, on the opposite side of Goliath, Brooklyn, and Miroku.
Shippo was the cutest ring bearer ever!
Kagome looked over at the bride's side of the family, sitting were Fox with Alex in her arms, even the Mazas were invited, Talon and the mutants were sitting on that side too. Over on the groom's side were Sesshomaru and his family, his human wife
The other gargoyles were in back sitting on both sides of the family, the wedding was going to be a Traditional Japanese Shinto wedding but Kikyo put her foot down and wanted a western style, but she still wanted the clothing to be Japanese.
Finally it came the time for Xanatos to bring Kikyo down to give to Inuyasha,
Kagome held her breathe during the ceremony but her eyes were on Brooklyn, he too was staring at her, lost her own world she completely zoned out, she came back to herself when she gave Inuyasha's wedding band to Kikyo.
"With this ring, I the wed." Kikyo states, sliding the ring onto Inuyasha's ring finger.
Inuyasha did the same with Kikyo's ring, "With this ring, I the wed."
The Priest declared them husband and wife,
The reception was held in the courtyard, everyone was chatting together.
"I didn't know you had a wife?" Kagome asks Sesshomaru
"You never asked about my personal life, and people change, I did. And I like the fact that you have the scent of a new life growing within you." Sesshomaru answers, "I met Melissa, when she was in college. We dated for a while then I just decided that it was time to settle down,"
Kagome could think of a lot of things to say, so she just smiled. She turned to look at the woman, "She reminds me of Rin."
"She should, because she's Rin's reincarnation." Sesshomaru replies, he looked over at the groom. "He's the same from five hundred years ago."
"My Lord, that's because he is the same one from five hundred years ago," Kagome replies, "I bought them here, to fulfill history."
Sesshomaru looked at his brother and his new bride. "Love, who knew."
"Yes, love does change someone for the better," Kagome agrees.
"So who out of your brothers won your heart?" Sesshomaru asks,
Kagome mock-glared at him, "if your sense of smell is oh so powerful, you figure it out. Now I'm going to see if I can't guilt Goliath into giving me a dance,"
Goliath was talking to Diane Maza, he didn't notice his sister sneaking up on him.
Kagome grabbed his arm, "Dance with me!"
"You know our kind doesn't dance," Goliath replies,
Kagome dragged him off anyway, "So what were you and Mrs. Maza speaking about?"
"She was telling me, that you're right about raising a new generation of gargoyles." Goliath answers a bit reluctantly.
Kagome smiled at him, "See I told you."
"Don't rub it in," Goliath states,
Suddenly Kagome felt something attack her tail, and started to climb up her back.
"Are you really The Kagome?" a little voice asks,
"Please tell us you're really her?" adds another,
Kagome reached and grabbed the two by the collars to look at them, they had dog ears on their heads, but they were raven black, and the two had liquid gold eyes like Sesshomaru, "Yes, you know who I am but who are you?"
"Ichiro, Emiko. There you are." the raven haired woman came over unafraid of Kagome or Goliath, she looked at the two children being held by Kagome. "I told you not to run off,"
"But mama, we had to see Kagome." Ichiro replies, pouting.
"Kagome is just a story character told by your father." Melissa states,
Kagome looked over at Goliath, "I'm a character in a story? Cool."
Melissa looked over at the female gargoyle, "Wait..your name is Kagome?"
"Yes," Kagome answers, "So how am I a character in a story?"
"Papa tells us stories about Uncle Inuyasha and a priestess who wasn't a demon or human named Kagome." Emiko replies,
"Well most of those stories were edited for the content," Sesshomaru states, as he came up behind his wife,
"You wouldn't want these two know how you were back then," Kagome replies, she handed the two over to Melissa, "I'll be happy to add to their bedtime stories for a few nights."
the two looked up at their parents "Please!" they even gave the puppy dog eyes.
"Fine." Melissa replies, "Just nothing to scary for them,"
"As you wish," Kagome agrees,
"Can you tell us one tonight?" the two pups asks,
Kagome looked up as the other gargoyles were about to disperse, "not tonight, it's time for us to patrol the city,"
"Tell them a few stories, you can have the night off." Goliath states,
Kagome glared at Goliath, "So going to get you back for this, brother." she then took the children to a quiet corner of the courtyard, and began telling them stories of magic, castles and princesses. By the end of the third story, both pups were sleeping on Kagome's lap.
"I'm sorry, I didn't believe those stories." Melissa apologized, "I never thought about the supernatural as real. That is until I met Sesshomaru."
"It's alright. How long have you been listening?" Kagome asks,
"Since you told them about the Magus." Melissa answers, as she picked up the two, "In case you're wondering they're twins."
'Sesshomaru came along way.' Kagome thought as the woman walked away with her children, the party was breaking up, Kagome found herself yawning. She was ready for a twelve hour nap.
