Chapter 19
It's finally time for the wedding! Inuyasha Kagome a wedding? This should be interesting! This chapter is pretty long, by the way (compared to my other chapters), so you might want to go to the bathroom before you start reading it! Tonyf
"You're getting married, Inuyasha! Never thought I would see THIS day!" Miroku exclaimed as he helped Inuyasha tighten his tie. Inuyasha had chosen Miroku to be his co-Best Man (along with Shippo, who was doubling as Flower Boy). This was a decision he was almost beginning to regret, after hearing Miroku's wisecracks all day. "Yeah, and how soon will you and Sango be 'taking the plunge'? (He had heard marriage referred to as that somewhere, and he was dying to say it.) Miroku quickly shot up and looked around nervously, making sure no one was nearby. "Why would you ask a question like that? I'm not ready for that yet!" Miroku yelled. "Still more women to try out?" Inuyasha cracked. "NO! IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!" Miroku screamed, his face quickly becoming flushed. "Forget I said anything. I was just messing around with you, Miroku. Now come on! I have to get ready!" Inuyasha yelled, trying at the same time to button up his tuxedo. "Let me help you with that." Miroku said, grabbing one of the buttons out of Inuyasha's hands. "I really hate these clothes." Inuyasha mumbled.
"Sango! Where are you?" Kagome called out, looking for her Maid of Honor. The last time that Kagome had seen her, Sango had went to try on her dress. Finally, after almost ten minutes of searching, Kagome found a room with the door locked. "Sango? Are you in there?" She asked, knocking on the door. "Yes, but I'm not coming out until you promise not to laugh." Sango called out in response. "Why would I laugh?" Kagome asked. "I look stupid in this dress. I'm not meant to wear clothes like this!" Sango answered. "I'm sure you look great. You're just not used to wearing dresses." Kagome yelled through the door. "Fine. You better not laugh, though." Sango grumbled, unlocking the door. She stepped out slowly, and Kagome was amazed at how beautiful she looked. "You look amazing, Sango. I don't know what you were worried about!" Kagome said, grabbing her shoulder. "Really?" Sango asked as her eyes lit up. "Yeah. You better not go near Miroku wearing that, though. He might not be able to hold himself back!" Kagome said with a grin. The two shared a laugh, and then they went to meet Kagome's mother back in the main dressing room. Kagome was almost ready!
1 HOUR LATER.....
The music began to play, and it was finally time for the ceremony to get under-way. All of Kagome's family and friends were seated in the audience, along with a mysterious figure who was lurking near the back. His face was shrouded in black, and no one could figure out who he was. No one made a big deal about his presence, though; they figured he was probably just one of Kagome's friends from school, and he was too shy to show himself. Anyways, once Shippo emerged in a tiny tux and bow tie, everyone turned their attention to the 'adorable' fox demon. He began dropping flowers behind him as he walked, although he still didn't understand why. "This isn't a very long walk; I don't see why I need to leave a trail for them! How could Inuyasha and Kagome possibly get lost?" The fox demon thought to himself. He finally reached the end of the aisle, and he stood off to the side. Next, Inuyasha emerged with Miroku. The audience gasped, as they had all seen Inuyasha before, but never dressed like this. He blushed slightly upon hearing their reaction to his appearance, but Inuyasha kept walking with Miroku until they stood next to Shippo and the tree where Inuyasha was once sealed. "Where the heck is Kagome?" The always- impatient Inuyasha asked Miroku after waiting about 20 seconds. Just then, the music changed to the famous "Here Comes the Bride" tune, and Inuyasha went silent.
Kagome emerged, and Inuyasha was absolutely speechless. He had never seen her in a dress like this before, and he thought she was unbelievably beautiful. "God, I can't wait for our 'Honeymoon'!" Inuyasha thought as Kagome walked down the aisle. Kagome's face lit up when she looked up Inuyasha. Kagome's mother looked on with tears in her eyes as her daughter met up with Inuyasha. "I just know that these two will be together and happy forever." She thought as she looked at the happy couple. The priest began the ceremony with the usual stuff - "We are gathered here today, blah blah blah, happy couple, blah blah blah, holy matrimony, blah blah blah." (I'm not going to write all of the stuff that the priest usually says during a wedding - I'm sure you can fill in the blanks yourself. Tonyf) Kagome had written her own vows, and she had asked Inuyasha to write his own as well. She wasn't expecting much from him, (he was from the feudal era, after all) but she was hoping that he would say SOMETHING memorable. Inuyasha read his off first ----
"Kagome, before I met you, I didn't know what love was. I thought that I loved Kikyo, but I realized soon after meeting you that what I felt for Kikyo wasn't love. You've taught me that love is unconditional. You didn't care that I was a half-demon; you loved me anyways. I had trouble getting over Kikyo, but you were always there for me. It killed you to stay with me when you knew I still was unsure about my feelings for Kikyo, but you still wanted to stay by my side. You have shed tears for my sake, been a friend to me every time I needed a friend, and cared for me whenever I have been injured. Now, I want nothing more but to spend the rest of my life caring for you. I vow to protect you, care for you when you're not feeling well, always be by your side, and love you for the rest of my life. I might even let you hold the 'remote' once in awhile when we watch 'TV' ."
Everyone in the audience laughed at the last line of his vows, but they did so as they wiped the tears from their eyes. They had never believed that Inuyasha could write something so beautiful. Kagome's makeup was running down her face as her tears flowed freely. "He'll be rewarded later for writing such beautiful vows." She thought to herself. Now, it was time for her to read her vows.
"Inuyasha, when I first saw you pinned to this tree (she points to the tree), I felt something strange in my stomach. I thought that you looked cute, and I had the urge to play with your cute ears. Little did I know that the 'strange feeling' was love. As I got to know you better, I really began to notice all of the qualities that made me fall in love with you. You put up a 'tough guy' front, but underneath all of that you are a caring, gentle, sweet, and protective person. I love everything about you, Inuyasha. Whenever I have been in trouble, I never felt really scared. I knew that you would always be there to protect me and make everything okay. I vow to stay by your side, make you happy, always listen to you, and love you forever. I might even explain to you how the 'TV remote' works someday."
She said the last line with a smirk, and it snapped Inuyasha out of the trance her words seemed to have put him in. He weakly smiled back at her, still a little shocked. He knew that she loved him, but he didn't realize how deeply Kagome truly felt for him. "We really will be happy forever." He thought to himself. It was time for the rings, and Miroku pulled them out of his pocket. The priest said his stuff, then Inuyasha and Kagome said their "I do's", and finally, the priest said "I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. Inuyasha, you may kiss the bride." Happily, Inuyasha obliged, and he really planted one on Kagome. "That's just a small preview of later tonight." Inuyasha whispered to her. Kagome blushed as she smiled at him.
They continued with the reception party throughout the rest of the day, and everyone managed to have fun (even Inuyasha, although he was quickly becoming impatient while waiting for the start of the 'honeymoon'). Finally, it was time for Inuyasha and Kagome to leave for the airport. They were going to Hawaii for their honeymoon, although Inuyasha and Kagome didn't plan on going outside much. There was a limo waiting to take them to the airport (or so they thought). After Inuyasha and Kagome got into the limo, they told the driver to take them to the airport. Inuyasha didn't feel right, though. He sniffed the air, and he was shocked by whose scent he picked up. Suddenly, the window separating the driver from the passengers closed. The locks on the doors snapped shut, and some sort of gas started to come through the vents. "Inuyasha! What's going on?" Kagome sputtered while trying to stay conscious. "It's....Sesshomeru!" Inuyasha yelled before he and Kagome slipped into unconsciousness.
Sesshomeru finally makes his presence felt, but could his timing be any worse? What does he have planned for the newlyweds? Couldn't he have at least waited until after the honeymoon? Answers soon in Chapter 20! Tonyf
It's finally time for the wedding! Inuyasha Kagome a wedding? This should be interesting! This chapter is pretty long, by the way (compared to my other chapters), so you might want to go to the bathroom before you start reading it! Tonyf
