Hehe. Sorry for not updating, but normally I can only write if I'm in
school and I haven't had a single full week of school in November, so
here's me trying to force my self to write. No, I'll never own Inuyasha or
anyone else. ^~^ Oh, and if you don't see my response to your review, I
have them at the beginning and end of the chappie so don't get discouraged.
ladyofthedragons1: ... What's a ponce? And... I left a cliffie? *very confused* Sorry, I can be really slow sometimes. You probably made perfect sense and I'm just stupid. ^_^;
kitsune T.M.: I'm sorry, but I can't let you kill Hojou...yet. *smirk smirk* I'm not sure if I'm gonna have anymore fluff, but I'll try. Y'know, that was one of the first ever fluff scenes that I've written.
gatogirl1: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SORRY I'M SOOOOOOOORRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're my most loyal reviewer for this fic and I haven't updated in forever! T.T Anyway, to your review.... Yeah, I don't know how I came up with that description. Now that I look at it, the first thing that comes to mind is "Wow, did I really write that?" Well, in the original fairy tale, this would be the last chapter. T.T So there probably won't be any thickening of the plot. Inu does go visit the human world though. It never really said why all the nymphs and fauns excepted the woodcutter's daughter so easily at the gathering, so I'm kinda in the dark too when it comes to that, but I think it's 'cause they were really friendly and I wanted last chapter to be fluffy, not violent, so I made the demons friendly. Very uncharacteristic, I know, but I'm a lazy bum.
Chapter 5 The Wedding
Sango glared at Kagome who shifted under her gaze. "What?" she finally asked.
"Why are you marrying that...that... thick-skulled-idiot-who-can't-even- tell-that-you-don't-like-him-and-is-totally-obsessed-with-people's-health- and-can't-tell-that-you're-in-love-with-some-other-guy-that-I'm-sure-is-a- lot-better-than-him," Sango gushed out in a single breath.
Kagome blinked and looked down at the gorgeous wedding gown that she was wearing (I'm too lazy to describe it and I've never seen a real one anyway). "It looks bad?" she asked timidly.
"ARGH!!!!"
"Sango, calm down," Miroku came into Kagome's room and placed a hand on Sango's shoulder, "But I agree with her," he looked at Kagome seriously, "Your heart belongs to another, am I correct?"
Kagome looked down to hide the blush that tinted her cheeks and shuffled her feet nervously. "We-well, um..." she peeked at her friends and then reverted her eyes back to her interesting new shoes, "I always feel like I do...but..."
Sango noticed the younger girl's shoulders shaking and was shocked when she lifted her head up to have tears streaming down her face. "I don't remember!" Kagome finished, "I don't even remember his face!"
"Kagome..." Sango reached out a hand but was stopped by Miroku.
"I think that we should give her some time alone," he whispered.
She shook her head. "She needs me." Miroku nodded to show that he understood and walked out of the door. Sango sighed and sat down on the bed. "C'mon, Kagome," she cooed gently, "It's ok," she pulled her friend, almost sister down to a sitting position next to her, "I won't let anything bad happen to you," her hand started in comforting circular motions when Kagome started to hiccup, "I'll stop the wedding if you want me to."
"No," Kagome forced herself to stop the flow of tears, "I'm doing this for Kikyou," she smiled at Sango, "Besides, why bother worrying over some guy that might just be part of my imagination?"
"Yeah," Sango grinned back, "Now, why don't I help you fix your makeup? We can't have our bride look like she's been crying on her wedding day." Kagome nodded and wiped her eyes.
(Just a little note, everybody, just let it all out. *covers ears* DAMN YOU HOJOU!!!!! KAGOME BELONGS TO INU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Kagome was confused. Wasn't she supposed to be happy? After all, she was getting married. So...why was she feeling like she was doing something wrong? Half of her said that this was the right thing to do, she would have a rich husband, an easy life, and everything she could ask for, but the other half kept her back. It told her that she was making a big mistake and if she proceeded with it, she would regret it for the rest of her life. So what was it? A happy life with this constant nagging, or a life alone with peace at mind? Kagome shook her head to clear her thoughts. 'No. A realistic one would make more sense,' she finally concluded.
"Kagome," Kikyou whispered softly, "It's time to go."
Kagome took a deep breath and forced herself to look happy and relaxed and marched down the aisle. The priest seemed to take forever and soon, after the vows were said, all that was left was to put the ring on and then the kiss.
Hojou swelled happily. This was it. He was finally going to be a married man. He took the gold band in his hand and tried to slip it onto Kagome's finger, but...it wouldn't go on. "Priest," Hojou looked up, "it won't go on."
The priest looked carefully at Kagome's finger and observed, "There's another ring on," he then ordered Kagome, "Take it off."
Kagome closed her eyes and wished for it all to end quickly, when a voice pierced her thoughts. "Take it off." It was the priest. Slowly, she looked down at her hand and seeing the silver braided hairs around her finger, she cried out, "Inuyasha!"
(Hehe. Evil evil evil. I was gonna end the chappie right here and now, but a) it's too short and b) I'm too nice for my own good and c) I value my life very much.)
The cry echoed throughout the church and the people started to turn and whisper to each other. "Do you think the bride's gone mad?"
"Did she snap?"
"It must be the pressure, poor dear."
"That we really sudden and random."
BAM!!!
All heads spun around to the great doors in shock and Kagome's face held a look of extreme happiness and relief. "Inuyasha!" she shouted, "You came!"
"Feh," he grinned but with still his usual arrogance, "Do you think I'd actually not come? These bastards treating you all right?"
"Yeah, now come here and help me out!"
"Can't," Inuyasha growled, "I can't come into your stupid human sacred places. There's a barrier y'know. You'll have to come to me."
Without any hesitation, Kagome tore away from Hojou and ran up the aisle towards Inuyasha. The priest shook off the shock of seeing a real hanyou and screamed, "Well, what are you waiting for? Stop her! The bride's gone mad!"
In frenzy, the guests grabbed at Kagome's clothes in attempts to stop her, tearing the beautiful cloth as they did so until when she finally arrived at the exit, only her black hair clothed her.
"Get on!" Inuyasha commanded, draping his outer haori to give her some decency. Kagome clambered on quickly and he sped away.
"That must've been the most frightening thing that I have ever seen," the guests all muttered.
Sango and Miroku had refused to attend the wedding because they knew that Kagome wasn't happy about it. Sango nudged Miroku and pointed to the road. "What's that red and white dot?" she asked.
He peered closer and when the fast moving figure got close enough, he smiled. "I believe," he held Sango close, making her blush slightly, "that that's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."
"Yeah," Sango sighed.
The sun was setting and two silhouettes could be seen. One was running with the other on his back and the smaller one was wrapped in a shirt matching the pants of the first one. They were laughing happily together and in their eyes, the most powerful emotion that knows no boundaries was shining brightly.

AAAHH! *sobs happily* I'm so...happy! Sadly though, this is the last chappie. *cries* But, if you all give me ideas in your reviews, I might have an epilogue about how Hojou dies or...something like that. And I was wondering...do you guys think that I get to emotional?
ryngrl5: Everybody loves the fluff and hates Hojou now. ^_^; Oh well, maybe I'll have a little epilogue about how everybody murders Hojou. Will you like that?
lilemmy: Actually, the only people who forbid it are Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and all my readers. Wait a second, that's a lot of people. Never mind. ^_^ The original fairy tale never says why the woodcutter's daughter forgets the faun, so I just kept it the same and confused myself. I think it's because of some spell or...something.
kokoro: Love your name. Ok, that was random...anyway, I hope you liked this chapter too! I'm sorry for making you wait. V.V
Shard of the Mage: Hehe. You changed your name! When you reviewed me, it was Sorceress of the Keys.
Sun Flower: You liked the fluff too? Wow, I had good beginner's luck! I mean, I barely ever write fluffy scenes! Last chapter must've been the...*counts* 3rd time I wrote a fluff scene!
