Chapter 12: And They Lived Happly Ever After
Today was the day, Kagome would marry Hojo. Inuyasha still had sent no sign he was coming back. Maybe that kiss they shared, which help such passion and emotion was noting. Maybe she was just being foolish. What was she thinking, a hot guy like that wanting a girl like her?
Why did it hurt so much though? Kagome felt as if her heart had just been ripped out. Kagome had liked Inuyasha but she didn't love him did she? Did he even love her? It didn't matter anymore, Inuyasha wasn't coming. She wasn't going to America; she was going to marry Hojo.
Her wedding dress laid still on the bed. Kagome glared at the dress, as if it was the cause of all this. Though the dress looked beautiful, she hated it. She didn't want to were the dress down the ail to see a grinning Hojo and family, she wanted to see Inuyasha, Sango, Miroku, and the rest of the crew.
Kagome sighed, glaring at the dress wasn't going to change a thing. Tomorrow that afternoon she would marry Hojo, and everybody but her would be happy; there wasn't a single thing she could do.
'Wait! I could run away again!' she thought suddenly. That small ray of hope was quickly taken away when she remembered her mother had set up guards around the huge house, mainly around the windows and doors.
Kagome now losing all hope picked the dress up and hung it up. She pulled the thick covers down just enough to let her in then pulled them back up. With all hope seeming lost she rested her head on the pillow and fell into a fit full sleep.
~*~
Inuyasha was mad! A storm had caused them not only to be knocked off course but they also lost a few crew members to the sea. The ship wasn't in the best ship with some rips in the sails, and some crew members where just a little sea sick.
Sango and Miroku set some floating candles out into the sea to honor the lost crew members. Sango was worried for Kagome, there was not telling what Kagome might be going through!! And seeing as the storm caused then to go off course they would be late!! They would not make it to the shore again until that afternoon!!!
Miroku was also worried, more for Inuyasha then Kagome. He had seen the looks Inuyasha gave Kagome when she wasn't looking, and the way Inuyasha's gaze would linger a little long in places his eyes shouldn't be. 'And he calls me a pervert?' Miroku thought, as he worked his way to Inuyasha's cabin.
Miroku walked in Inuyasha's cabin without knocking, only to find the dear captain looking at a map of America. Miroku didn't say anything at first watching with a confused face as Inuyasha's eyes went from the map to his watch and back to the map.
"Inuyasha, why may I ask are you looking at the map of America?" He asked, making his present known, and Inuyasha looked up at him, with sad eyes. They were slightly glazed over, and he looked tired, after all the storm was pretty tough.
"Kagome wanted to be dropped off in America when we came to get her back. So I'm looking at the map in order to find where it would be best to drop her off." Inuyasha informed his friend, who didn't look confused anymore, but looked Inuyasha with a pitting look.
Miroku nodded silently before stepping out into the hall to meet with an eavesdropping Sango. "How is he?"
"He's ok I guess, not in the best moods but he's ok." Miroku informed, and Sango sighed.
"I hope Kagome is doing good." Sango stated before her and Miroku walked away, in a comfortable silence.
~*~
"WAKE UP!!"
Kagome's eyes cracked open as Jessie the maid came in with a try of food, and tea for Kagome. Kagome groaned and sat up as the tray was placed over her lap, for her to eat.
"Good morning miss. To day you be marring Hojo. Good boy he is." She lied. Kagome looked at her like she was crazy though sleepy eyes. Then looked at her tray. She was eating.... a carrot. How nice she hated carrots.
"Maid, tell me what do you 'really' think of Hojo?" Kagome wanted to make sure she wasn't the only one who thought he was slow and such.
The maid gave Kagome a weird look before nodding her head, and cutting the British accent, which turned into a country voice of an aggravated person. ^_^
"Ok here's the deal, Hojo is denser then a thing rock! The boy don't have brains!! Hell you'd be better off marring a camel!! Rich he is, but like I said just like a donkey!! Hell, I'd dump him faster then a raccoon trying to run across a log with grease on it in the middle of July!" Jessie gave her option.
"Well I'm glad I'm not nuts. And Jessie, your not British are you?"
"Nope. I all American!" She informed before going back to her fake accent, "Now if you'd excuse me miss, I must be on my way, best of luck to ye.!" She said before leaving.
'Strange, I wonder if all Americans act that way..' Kagome thought while eating her carrot. 'Great now they're saying I'm fat!' Kagome pondered as she chewed the nasty vegetable. Kagome was soon pulled out of her thoughts when she heard music, wedding music to be exact.
~*~
Kagome wanted to see what was going on so she came down stares, still in her purple stars pjs. There she saw what looked like a mad house! Everybody was running around, preparing for the wedding. Her mother soon spotted her and called up to her.
"Kagome dear! Glad to see you're awake! Now," Her mother turned to an old lady, "That's Kagome go and make sure the dress fits!" She told the old woman before pointing to Kagome who went to her room again.
The old woman came into Kagome's room shortly after and had Kagome put on the dress. It had a low neck that revealed to much chest for Kagome, was strapless, and it was white of course. The sleeves where just long enough to reach her hands where they turned into a sharp triangle tip that ended near her middle finger. The dress was long and about what seemed like a mile long strip was behind her.
"OW!!" Could be heard though the house from the pins pricking her. The old lady's hands were shaking as she made sure there was not a single string lose, which was painful for Kagome.
After an hour of hurting the lady left and then the make-up artist came and did her hair and make up, when she left Kagome looked into the long mirror on her door. Who she saw was not her reflection.
Kagome didn't see the person she should be, her hair was in a bun with natural make-up, but what gave the look a like away was the eyes. They weren't hers. She couldn't look that sad, and glazed over. She walked up to the mirror and touched the look a like's eyes, and for a second she thought she saw Inuyasha's eyes.
Kagome gulped, she missed him, she really did. His eyes use to look sad, and almost like a sunset that was broken into pieces. She missed his cute dog ears, and the way they would turn, and how he's purr when she'd rub them. She missed his long silver hair, oh how she wished she could just brush it!! But she would never get that chance.... it was already six o' clock and the wedding would be starting soon.
She sighed, and she heard her mother yell for her. This was it, she was getting married and she'd never see Inuyasha again.
~*~
The church was huge and white, with tented windows of pictures of god, and Jessie. The candles were lit, all forming a walkway. The sent of lavender could be smelled. The ceiling was a big painting, with little baby angels, and cupids. It also was light blue with clouds some hid behind.
The music sounded and everybody quieted down.
'Oh all the thing's I believed in, I just want to get it over with.'
Kagome started down the short ail but to her it seemed like a mile long. She looked and Saw Hojo, where Inuyasha should be standing... waiting for her.
'Tears form behind my eyes, But I do not cry... Counting the days that pass me by.'
Kagome looked at her brides made, where Sango should be standing, in a light blue dress not pink. This wasn't what she wanted, this wasn't what was suppose to happen.
'I've been searching deep down in my soul, words hearing are starting to get old.'that I'm
She was suppose to be with Inuyasha!! She loved him, even though they hadn't known each other for that long! It was has if everybody was trying to run her life for her! But non of that was going to happen, she could just kiss it all good- bye!!
'It feels like I'm starting all over again, the last three years where just pretend, and I said,
Good bye to you.. Good bye to everything I thought I knew... You were the on that I loved... the one thing I tried to hold one..'
Kagome would now just see Hobo's dull eyes, filled with lust, not Inuyasha's. When she was with him she felt as if everything was right. Now Kagome looked at the benches where all of the crew should be now the town, she was almost there and she was about to cry. She did not want to go through with this.
'I still get lost in your eyes And it seems like I can't live a day without you. Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away, to a place where I'm blinded by the light, but it's not right!
Good bye to you... good bye to everything I thought I knew.. You were the one I loved, the one thing I tried to hold on to..'
Kagome had reached the end of the ail, and turned to face Hojo. Everybody's eyes where on them, it was what was suppose to happen, rich guy marries rich girl that's how the story always went. 'Remember Kagome, the rich boy always marries the rich girl no matter what, and that's how the story will always go.' Her mother's words ran though her head as the preacher started.
'And it hurts to want everything, and nothing at the same time.. I want what's yours and I want what's mine... I want you but I'm not giving in this time...
Good bye to you... good bye to everything I thought I knew..... you were the one I loved the one thing I tried to hold on to...
And when the stars fall I will lye awake, you're my shooting star..'
But this wasn't her mother's or the other people's story!! This was hers and Inuyasha's story! It's not suppose to end this way!! She was lost in her thoughts now, memories of the time she spent on the ship and then the kiss they had shared...
~*~
Inuyasha was on his toes, as the crew member in the crows pit yelled 'land ho!!' That now they were closer to getting Kagome back and now the sun was just about to set. They were almost there!! But there were tons of boats already there and parked so Inuyasha had to row all the way, It was 6:10pm. He prayed that Kagome was ok! 'Just hang on Kagome I'm coming!' Inuyasha thought has he continued to row.
~*~
6:20 pm.
Kagome was snapped out of her thoughts as the preacher asked her if she promised to take care of Hojo and love him always, but that was it, she didn't love Hojo. She loved Inuyasha!! She didn't want Hojo, she wanted Inuyasha!!!!
Kagome looked back at the audience, and saw her mother giving her a critical look, Kikyo was glaring at her, as if daring her to say no, and her father was just sitting there smoking. Smoking in a church, how nice.
Kagome smiled a little, suprising everybody. She looked at Hojo, then to the Preacher. "I do... not wish to marry Hojo." She answered oh so smartly.
The preacher gave her a pitting look before saying, "I'm sorry miss but you have no say in this, you have to marry Hojo.' He then winked at her mother who was now showing a great deal of leg. How pathetic this was. Her mother was bribing the preacher with thing...!!! This was not right!!
"Kagome!!"
When her name was shouted everybody turned to see who had yelled out. The church doors wide open reveling a slightly red sky, and a person. He was tall and it look as if he had... he had...
Kagome squinted and when she saw little triangles moving on his head, she ran to him, as did he, or well he started to run to her. The crowed watched as if they were watching a movie.
"Inuyasha!"Kagome yelled and ran into his open arms.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha spun her in his arms and laughed a little at the shocked faces.
Kagome turned back to the wedding.. "Everybody, this is Inuyasha, and uh... bye!" Kagome stated ever so kindly before her and Inuyasha high tailed it out of there!
The crowed stared at the church doors in shock. Kagome's mother screamed in rage and then cried in her husbands shoulder, screaming about how stupid Kagome was. Hojo was in stupid right now wondering, does that mean she's not going to marry me?
Kikyo looked out there with a small smile, even though she didn't like Kagome, she was glad Kagome ran. Kagome was going with her heart, and that made Kikyo smile a little. She envied Kagome for that.
~*~
Kagome and Inuyasha rowed back to the boat, and Sango ran and hugged Kagome as did Miroku but he was slapped when his hand went to far down. She was happy, the crew even started to welcome her back to. This was where she belonged. But for some reason Inuyasha was acting like he was keeping his distance, and always held a map in his hand.
Later that night after super, and everybody was down in their own cabins fast asleep, Kagome got up and walked onto the top deck where Inuyasha normally stayed. Sure enough the dog eared hanyou was there; staring out into the sea.
"So what's up?" Kagome asked and joined him to stare out into the sea.
Inuyasha jumped slightly, he was to lost in his thoughts to realize somebody was approaching.
"Well be at America in about a month." He said coldly, saying America as if it was and evil sickening name. 'America?' Kagome pondered then it hit her. She was suppose to get off at America, and live there. But if that happened then she would never see... she would never see Inuyasha again. She couldn't, could she?
"Inuyasha? I was wondering and, I have to say it, but I don't think I should leave." She said casually.
"What!?!" Inuyasha said louder then he meant to, he was shocked what did she mean!?!?!
"Well, what would you eat if me and Sango didn't cook, and the other ship use to be a pig sty! If it wasn't for me then I think you would never have a clean ship. The crew would just fall apart without me here." Kagome stated again as if mocking him.
Inuyasha caught on soon. Kagome wanted to stay!! "I don't know about that, after all me and the crew are men, and we don't need no annoying wenches around."
"Oh I know that, that's why me and Sango are here."
"Kagome?"
"Yes oh mighty captain?"
"Would you like to stay on the ship?"
"Why yes I would captain." Kagome answered with a smile, and kissed him passionately. Inuyasha kissed her back with just as much passion.
****
".... And the stars seemed to shine brighter then the heaven that night, when I and Inuyasha kissed, and all the world was at peace, and we lived happily ever after." Kagome finished her story with a smile and teary eyes.
"Grandma, what did you do if you didn't come to America right away?" Young Kikyo asked.
"Well, we traveled, we went all over the world. Inuyasha and his crew still stole things but just food. And then some years later we got married in Africa and then moved to America and we lived here." Kagome said remembering all the fun they had.
Tsuki looked up at the clock, it was ten past midnight. "Come on Kikyo, It's way past your bedtime."
"But I'm not sleepy!" Kikyo said before yawning.
"Yes you are, now tell grandma good bye and let go. Bye mom." Tsuki said before letting Kikyo hug Kagome and walk out.
~*~
Kagome took a showed and put on her pj's before going to sleep. She turned to her right where a picture of her and Inuyasha where getting married in Africa. He was smiling with his arm wrapped around her, and she smiled with her head resting on his shoulder.
She closed her eyes and said, "Inuyasha i'll always love you, forever and for always." Before drifting to a everlasting sleep, where she would never wake up.
~*~
And she lived the rest of her eternal life with the one she loved the most, Inuyasha.

Kagome and Inuyasha rowed back to the boat, and Sango ran and hugged Kagome as did Miroku but he was slapped when his hand went to far down. She was happy, the crew even started to welcome her back to. This was where she belonged. But for some reason Inuyasha was acting like he was keeping his distance, and always held a map in his hand.
Later that night after super, and everybody was down in their own cabins fast asleep, Kagome got up and walked onto the top deck where Inuyasha normally stayed. Sure enough the dog eared hanyou was there; staring out into the sea.
"So what's up?" Kagome asked and joined him to stare out into the sea.
Inuyasha jumped slightly, he was to lost in his thoughts to realize somebody was approaching.
"Well be at America in about a month." He said coldly, saying America as if it was and evil sickening name. 'America?' Kagome pondered then it hit her. She was suppose to get off at America, and live there. But if that happened then she would never see... she would never see Inuyasha again. She couldn't, could she?
"Inuyasha? I was wondering and, I have to say it, but I don't think I should leave." She said casually.
"What!?!" Inuyasha said louder then he meant to, he was shocked what did she mean!?!?!
"Well, what would you eat if me and Sango didn't cook, and the other ship use to be a pig sty! If it wasn't for me then I think you would never have a clean ship. The crew would just fall apart without me here." Kagome stated again as if mocking him.
Inuyasha caught on soon. Kagome wanted to stay!! "I don't know about that, after all me and the crew are men, and we don't need no annoying wenches around."
"Oh I know that, that's why me and Sango are here."
"Kagome?"
"Yes oh mighty captain?"
"Would you like to stay on the ship?"
"Why yes I would captain." Kagome answered with a smile, and kissed him passionately. Inuyasha kissed her back with just as much passion.
****
".... And the stars seemed to shine brighter then the heaven that night, when I and Inuyasha kissed, and all the world was at peace, and we lived happily ever after." Kagome finished her story with a smile and teary eyes.
"Grandma, what did you do if you didn't come to America right away?" Young Kikyo asked.
"Well, we traveled, we went all over the world. Inuyasha and his crew still stole things but just food. And then some years later we got married in Africa and then moved to America and we lived here." Kagome said remembering all the fun they had.
Tsuki looked up at the clock, it was ten past midnight. "Come on Kikyo, It's way past your bedtime."
"But I'm not sleepy!" Kikyo said before yawning.
"Yes you are, now tell grandma good bye and let go. Bye mom." Tsuki said before letting Kikyo hug Kagome and walk out.
~*~
Kagome took a showed and put on her pj's before going to sleep. She turned to her right where a picture of her and Inuyasha where getting married in Africa. He was smiling with his arm wrapped around her, and she smiled with her head resting on his shoulder.
She closed her eyes and said, "Inuyasha i'll always love you, forever and for always." Before drifting to a everlasting sleep, where she would never wake up.
~*~
And she lived the rest of her eternal life with the one she loved the most, Inuyasha.
