The Little MerKag
Just One More Day

- Last Time -

Letting go of Kagome's neck, Kikyou turned on her heel and walked out of the room, not noticing that Sesshoumaru and Rin were standing at the door of their bedroom and had listened to the entire conversation.

"We have to warn Yukiko!"

"Indeed..."

- Now -

Kagome, Yukiko, Sesshoumaru and Rin were all together, nervously pondering what to do, in the house's sitting room. A teary eyed Kagome was being comforted by Rin as Yukiko and Sesshoumaru decided the best course of action. Only a few minutes before they had come to the stark realization that their two weeks were almost up, and Kikyou and Inuyasha's wedding day was only one day away. In their low voices Yukiko and Sesshoumaru spoke...

"I believe it would be best to return Kagome to the sea...now if possible."

"Indeed...It is far too late for any of us to do anything..."

"Which one of us is going to tell her?"

"It should be you, Lady Yukiko..."

Standing up, Yukiko moved and knelt before Kagome, who looked up questioningly.

"Kagome, it's time for you to go back..."

A horrified look crossed Kagome's face and she shook her head desperately...She looked to Rin for support but she had already gone to stand beside Sesshoumaru, both of them avoiding her gaze. Crossing her arms in front of her she moved away from the small group, running quickly to her room and brushing past a surprised Inuyasha as she slammed her door shut.

"What the hell was that about?"

Coughing, Sesshoumaru murmured something and all three exited the room, leaving behind a very bewildered Inuyasha.

- In The Sea -

Queen Higurashi eyed the blurred sun nervously as it rose, this day would be the last day that Kagome would have the chance to make the land boy fall in love with her.

"Soon it will be time..."

Bowing her head she wished her daughter well, hoping with all her heart that she would be returned safely, or find happiness on the land. She willed those wishes to the gods, and prayed that they would hear them before it was too late...

- On The Land -

Inuyasha let out a frustrated growl as Myouga scurried around him, questioning him with things like method of payment for the band, hall, dress, and photographer. Inwardly he pictured the wedding, having not even seen Kikyou's wedding dress he couldn't help but imagine her in it. But as he did he let out a surprised yowl when the image of Kikyou metamorphosed into one of Kagome.

"Inuyasha? What's wrong with you boy?"

Inuyasha let out a nervous chuckle as he looked up to a concerned Myouga

"Nothing, wedding jitters."

"Of course...now about those bills..."

- Kikyou's (Short) Monologue -

It's only one more day. Silly little mermaids...Yukiko might have beaten me once, but now it is time for me to take control of the land...And with the InuYoukai family's money It'll be easier than tricking foolish Kagome into giving me her voice. And soon, I'll never need to worry about any mertwit thwarting my plans ever again!

Giving herself one final look in the mirror, Kikyou smiled and changed. Flipping her hair she walked into the kitchen, looking for the wedding cake. Upon seeing it a grin crossed her face and she reached into her purse, pulling out a small vial. Pouring the liquid in to the top layer of the cake she watched as the colorless liquid sunk into the spongey layer. Turning on her heel she let out a soft laugh as she walked out of the kitchen, and gave Inuyasha a kiss on the cheek as she met him in the hall.

"Only one more day dear..."

Only One More Day...

AN: It's so sad...I'm almost done with this story...I'll update next week :D
