Chapter 3
The Phony Marriages
"Mother?"
No respond but humming sounds.
"Mother."
Still no response but humming sounds.
"Mother!"
"What dear?" She finally answers to Kagome who had her hand tucked under her chin in aggravation.
"Mother, why are you acting so happy?" Sango asked as she sighed in boredom.
"Nope! Not acting, real. Of course I'm happy, my two daughters are getting married and better, princes!"
Kohaku and Souta exchanged looks and shook their heads. "Who would want to marry you two anyway? You probably can't even survive in there." Kohaku remarked.
"We can and we will!" Sango hollered out to Kohaku as she stood up and ran to her room in anger.
"Kagome, dear? Kagome?"
"Huh? What mother?" Kagome came back from circling Mars and answered her mother in weariness.
"Tomorrow's the wedding, I want you two to sleep soundly tonight and things will be prepared over the night so don't you worry."
"How do you know I'm worrying about that?"
"I'm your mother. I know everything that is going inside you."
"Probably not. Maybe it would be fun if I really did go in the castle. I wonder what would happen once I am a princess. I could have everything I want, if the prince don't take it first."
"Why would you say that now?" Mrs. Higurashi faced Kagome.
"Because once I'm in there, it's gonna be the biggest war, Tokyo has ever fought."
"Kagome!" Mrs. Higurashi chuckled. "Promise me you won't make any trouble."
"I can guarantee that." Kagome told her mother as a promise. "Anyway, it's only a fake marriage."
"I know, Kagome. It's fake, but it could be real... later on. You know what happened to your parents."
"Mother. I know why the reason why you two divorced. He left, but probably just maybe it could be true. Unless he is some psychopathic, egomaniacal, arrogant, stupid, jealous, rude, and obnoxious prince. Then I would... but it's only a phony marriage, it can't go that far."
"You'll see what I mean; it's only a matter of time."
"Whatever. Got to prepare for that... marriage." Kagome made the end sound like she's going to barf and she got up to go to her room.
"Mom, I shouldn't to this, should I? I don't even know her." Inuyasha whined as he pleaded to his mother.
"Inuyasha, you propose to her, I didn't do it. Besides your father would be very happy to hear about this."
"Damn." Inuyasha averted his gazes out the window, which was calmer than the castle...later at least.
"You said it." Lady Inu smiled ever so happily as she started knitting baby clothes.
Inuyasha didn't even bother to ask his mother to know what was she doing. She just wanted grandchildren and one Rin isn't enough; she needs the whole castle running berserk for her to figure out it's not good to have a lot of kids. "Feh, I just did it to-"
"Make me mad!" Kouga finished his sentence off as he stood in the doorway with an angry look on his face. "Dog-turd, damn you."
"Kouga," Lady Inu gulped as he looked at his expression. He wasn't happy at all, not even a smirk. Only a huge frown with narrowed eyes.
"Feh, what are you going to do? Gather your little wolves and attack me?" Inuyasha raised his brows and made a face at him. "Can you do any better now?"
"You are so dead when I get through with you." Kouga growled as he stormed over to Inuyasha who stood next to Lady Inu. He reached his to grab his sword, the Untouched Sword that he had never used before in his life. "Go to hell!"
Inuyasha saw him reached for his sword and he grimaced. 'He would never.' Inuyasha leaped into the air and somersaulted in the air and landed gracefully behind Kouga. "You would never use that sword."
"Oh yeah, try me!" Kouga grasped for the sword and swung the sword at Inuyasha who was stunned to see him pull the sword.
"Bad move." Inuyasha smirked as if he won the lottery ticket. He pulled out the tetsusaiga and defended himself.
"Boys!" The door slammed open and an angry king stood there with Sesshoumaru beside him. "What the hell do you think you guys were doing?!" He bellowed out to them, which nearly blew them away.
"He cussed," Inuyasha whispered to Kouga softly. Sesshoumaru widened his eyes at Lord Inutaisho and cocked his head forward.
"Yeah I know, he never cussed unless it's really bad, like war or something like that."
"Well?"
Inuyasha and Kouga exchanged looks and drew back their swords. "Good, now about the wedding tomorrow about Inuyasha and Miroku. Tell me about it, dear." Lord Inutaisho said as he moved up to Lady Inu. His moods changed all of the sudden as he spoke about marriage.
"Dear, Inuyasha proposed to Kagome." She said cheerfully.
"Don't say that name!" Kouga shouted as he ran out the room shouting as he covered his ears pretending not to hear anything.
"What was that about?" Lord Inutaisho asked Lady Inu in a weird way.
"I'll tell you later."
"I'm surprised you remembered her name. I forgot already, feh, not that I care or anything." Inuyasha crossed his arm as if he doesn't care. "I'm out of here." Inuyasha huffed and walked out the room.
"Hmm, I'll be on my way too." Sesshoumaru told the couple on the royal throne. "I need to...tease somebody for my time being of...fun." Sesshoumaru walked out the room in silence and Lord Inutaisho arched a brow.
"Boy, do we have weird kids?"
"Kagome! Sango! Why aren't you awake yet? Your carriage is about to come to take you guys off to the palace!"
"Your point...mom," Sango yawned loudly as they continued to sleep.
"Just get up before they come."
No sounds come them except snoring.
"You're hopeless." She said as she made an exasperating sigh. She strolled out the room quietly and came back with a jug of cold water she got from the well. "One! Two!" She counted loudly for the to hear, "three!" She poured the jug of cold water onto both of them.
The both got up quietly without another word since the cold water decant and walked to the bathroom while one got dressed in their gowns which were sent by the palace.
"Those are my girls!" Mrs. Higurashi said proudly to Grandpa as she clasped her hand together and made a proud sigh.
"Do we have to wear these?" Kagome held the gowns up with her two fingers. "They are so...red."
"No duh, Kagome, where did you got that from? They are supposed to be red." They slid the gowns on and waited patiently for the carriages to come to take them away to the palace.
"Don't forget the handkerchief," Mrs. Higurashi told them as she laid the red handkerchief over their heads. "I'm so proud of you two! Getting married on the same day! I'm so excited!" Mrs. Higurashi kept on babbling how happy she was; she didn't notice how Kagome and Sango looked from the inside.
"So you two are getting married," Souta said as he played Buyo's tail, which he didn't mind at all.
"We'll miss you a lot,"Kohaku told them. "Are you going to bring Kirara? Because if you're not, I can always be there to take care of it." Kohaku told Sango as he moved away from Sango.
"I don't think we can bring animals to the castle." Sango said truthfully. Sango and Kagome didn't said another thing when the carriages came. They weren't mad, just frustrated. The carriages came with four men holding the on each side and waited for the bride to walk out.
"The carriages are here."Mrs. Higurashi told them. Kagome and Sango nodded and walked out to the carriages and sat down as the men lifted it and continued to walk on.
"Is everything ready? It must be perfect," Lady Inu told the servants as they prepared the flowers, food, drinks, and swept up the palace so it must be perfect. Everything was perfect, all too perfect. Sesshoumaru sat on the sides of the red carpet that led down the center of the room. Kagura sat next to Sesshoumaru on the table next to Rin. Kouga sat on the other side of the carpet, with a long frown on his face.
King Inutaisho sat on the royal throne with Lady Inu next to him and the minister standing on the step with a holy book in front of him.
Inuyasha and Miroku were inside the room dressing up in tuxedos for the wedding. "Miroku, can you stop humming that song over and over and over again? You stopped four times and continued four times. What's your problem?"
"It's my wedding, shouldn't I be happy?" Miroku said, as he looked himself in the mirror. "Purrfect," he purred like a cat.
Inuyasha only looked out the beach and hoped this would end quickly.
"Ah! The carriages are here!" They strolled out to the main hall of the castle, in front of the minister. The brides walked slowly on the red carpet with their heads bended low. They stopped when they saw other people's feet and the stand.
"We are gather here today to celebrate a royal wedding of Prince Inuyasha, a-soon-to-be-Princess Kagome, Prince Miroku and also a-soon-to-be-Princess Sango."
"Just cut to the chase," Inuyasha said to the minister as he saw the minister reading the whole book from page one.
"Okay," the minister said as he quickly flipped through the pages to the back of the book. "Okay, do you Prince Inuyasha take Princess Kagome to be your lawfully wedded wife through health and sickness till death do you part?"
"Yeah."
"What's that?" The minister looked up to Inuyasha.
"My way of saying, 'I do.'" Inuyasha told him.
"Okay, do you Princess Kagome take Prince Inuyasha as your lawfully wedded husband through sickness and health till death do you part?"
Kagome seems to ponder on the question, but when she felt the glowering daggers that came from Naraku who sat on the benches, she quickly said, "I do."
"Do you Prince Miroku take-"
"Ah! Just skip the whole deal and ask do you." Miroku said as he got bored seeing how it takes a lifetime to wait for him to say it.
"Do you Prince Miroku?"
"I do."
"Do you Princess Sango?"
Sango bit her lip. "I do," she muttered.
"Good!" He clasped the book shut and grinned. "I now pronounce you four, husbands and wives! Now that's over with, you two may kiss your brides!"
There was a moment of awkward silence before Inuyasha spoke.
"Sure, yeah...right, we'll do that...sometime later."
"But it is written on the-"
"Ah!" Miroku shut the minister. "Now the party!" The crowd stood and clapped and cheered at the couples and ran out the room for the party that was serving in the ballroom.
"The two brides are to wait in their rooms for the grooms." A woman led them two to different rooms and waited for the groom to come. Kagome shut her door and she locked it.
"Sure, coming into my room. Ha!" She took off her red handkerchief on her head and sat down on the chairs as she saw plates of food on the table. "Yummy! Dinnertime!"
Meanwhile at Sango's room...
"If that little pervert thinks he can get the best of me he's wrong." Sango locked the doors and rest a chair on the door to stop it from opening. "You can't be anymore secure than that." Sango pouted and stared at the food prepared on the table.
"Can't hurt being full." She picked up her chopsitcks and started eating the food.
Bam
Sango looked up from her dinner and saw the door slammed open and an unconscious Miroku on the floor, drunk. She sweat dropped at his mumbles and shrugged.
"Lam...hmm...ah." Miroku mumbled in his sleep as Sango watched him.
"Come on," Sango whined as she walked over to the drunked Miroku. She picked up his dangly arms and dragged him over to the bed. "Ah!" She grunted as she flung his arms away from her. She sighed and continued her dinner.
Back at Kagome's...
knock knock
Kagome looked up from her delicious pickles and opened the door. Inuyasha walked into the room without saying anything and stared at the empty plated pickles that was supposed to be for him.
"Where's my pickles and the crispy radishes?" Inuyasha asked pointing to empty plates of food.
"Wha?" Kagome said as she crunched her last pickle.
"You took my pickles!" Inuyasha stared at her with wide eyes as he pointed at her.
"Don't be pointing at me!" Kagome hollered as she took the last pickle from her bowl. "Finders keepers," she grinned as she watched Inuyasha watched who watched in horror.
"I swear...if you eat that pickle, I'm gonna kill you," Inuyasha told her as she went around the table so Inuyasha can't get her.
It was the last pickle, so Kagome did what she have to do, she ate it.
She slowly felt the crunch of the crispy pickle in her mouth and stuck a tongue out at Inuyasha.
"Damn you," Inuyasha hissed and chased Kagome around the rounded table while Kagome got the most hilarious smile on her face.
Outside, Kouga heard running sounds and thumping sounds that made him more furious than ever. "Damn that dog-turd."
After running thiry nine times around the table carrying the pickle plate, Kagome stopped seeing Inuyasha had stopped in front of him already. Gasping for breath, both of them sat in a chair and stared at each other.
"Tell you what, Kagome... Higurashi." Inuyasha started. "You sleep here tonight and for the rest of the nights you are here, and I'll sleep at my usual room."
"Fine... by me," Kagome told him as she walked to the other side of the bed and pulled the covers up.
"I'll come here tomorrow morning, sleep tight," Inuyasha made a death glare at her while Kagome returned it.
He slammed the door shut and Kagome stuck a tongue out at him again. "Sucker."
