Inuyasha1990 :Your idea, er wish, er whatever .. has been granted for the next chapter; ) Hope you like this, thanks for reading =D

Inuyasha fingered his uncomfortable kimono, which was a basic red, thankfully. It wasn't the same as his normal fire-rat haori, but it was still red. But it was tight. And it also brought out defined chest and biceps. Inuyasha didn't know why he didn't want anyone to see, but he just felt ticked off.

He had left the window beside him open, so he could breathe more in his tight kimono. It wasn't very comfortable.

Talking about comfortable, Inuyasha wanted to throw himself over a cliff five times over when Kikyou saw him shirtless. She had raised her eyebrows and smiled warmly at him. Rare moment.

It bugged him.

He just didn't want Kikyou to know him so fast. It was like he wanted someone else to know.

Inuyasha also didn't know why Kikyou got on his nerves so easily, but he didn't want to know either.

Back to the kimono. Inuyasha grunted brilliantly.

He really didn't want to wear it. He had a huge clothing battle with Sesshomaru, but unless he wanted to meet his death by his brother's poisonous claws, he should just wear the damned kimono.

But then again ..

Meeting death didn't sound so bad.

Inuyasha grimaced. He didn't know why he was acting like this. He never acted like this. It just seemed that nothing in his life mattered anymore. It was like he was missing something very important, and couldn't live without it.

It ? Or her.

It was a her

Unknowingly to him, Inuyasha's body started to tremble in rage. He felt so betrayed. And by the last person he expected to betray him too.

She has no idea what she has done to me. Inuyasha thought bitterly, as discomfort for the kimono melted away and was replaced by waves of anger.

It's because of her that Inuyasha did not feel completely committed to Kikyou. It was all Kagome's fault.

She was more than a friend to him.

Much more ?

Aw, just damn it.

" Inuyasha, " a cold, stoic voice called from behind, breaking into Inuyasha's miserable thoughts.

" What ? " Inuyasha muttered, who unknowingly received a flicker of surprise that passed through his brother's usual passive face.

" No insults, dear brother ? " Sesshomaru wondered, whose eyes gave another flicker of emotion when Inuyasha did nothing, but wearily demanded what he wanted.

" The ceremony starts in within a minute. I suggest you get use to the kimono, Inuyasha, because you'll be standing in that one for hours. "

" Can't I change for the banquet ? "

" No, and you should be walking down the aisle to the pillar to await your wife now. "

Inuyasha nodded and looked away, which surprised Sesshomaru even more. The usual stoic demon furrowed his brows and walked up to Inuyasha. " What is wrong with you, little brother ? You give me no insults, no glares, nothing incoherent. Are you possessed ? "

Inuyasha gave his brother an annoyed look and sighed. " Nothing, can I go now ? "

" Can we go now. "

" What the hell do you mean ? "

Almost sounding strained, Sesshomaru spoke, " I have to walk you down the aisle, for father and mother chose to watch the whole scene unfold. "

Inuyasha sweatdropped, " Great. "

" Let us go now, younger brother. " Sesshomaru passively ordered and turned to walk out the door.

Inuyasha looked at his feet as he followed the older demon out. He was trying his best to concentrate on his love to Kikyou, but her little sister's face just kept coming back to view.

It was getting to him.

Inuyasha turned over his shoulder, and glanced at the window next to the fitting room mirror, as if he was expecting somebody to jump through it and rush into his arms, telling him everything was going to be okay.

But nobody did.

Inuyasha and Sesshomaru approached the huge golden doors that led to the room the ceremony was held. Inuyasha immediately felt the discomfort he felt about his kimono.

His eyes fell downcast as he followed Sesshomaru inside, forgetting all the people in the benches, smiling happily at him.

For he was not a very happy hanyou.

At all.

I just wished .. Inuyasha sadly thought, as he tried to push down the unfamiliar lump that appeared in his throat. That Kagome was here.

Kagome collapsed against the dirt road.

For the seventh time.

She was exhausted, and was seeing dots all over the place. She hadn't eaten in weeks, save the crumbs, and it wasn't a good idea to just start a long journey without any water or food with her.

But she had no choice.

Dawn had broken long time ago, and the sun was starting to get high. And Kagome was just reaching there.

She had collapsed again, just a few meters away from the castle doors. The same guards she had shot past two months ago stood there, startled at the sudden figure in front of them.

They realized Kagome right away and offered to help her, and Kagome declined.

Instead, she scrambled up wearily and demanded where the wedding was taken place. The two guards looked at each other and gave her directions to the room the ceremony was held.

One of the guards nodded, " Yeah, Prince Inuyasha and Princess Kikyou should be saying their ' I do 's now, or we'll never get our lunch. "

Kagome's eyes widened as she shot past the guards, who had started to tell her that she should change. But changing was the last thing on her mind right now.

Her heart was setting out on one simple task.

Crash Kikyou and Inuyasha's not-meant-to-be wedding.

Simple task. MY BUTT !

Kagome ran from room to room, only to find nobody but maids lazily doing their chores. She ran upstairs, and ran downstairs, but still failed to find the right room. She was running out of time.

Finally, Kagome stumbled onto a pair of big golden doors, with two buff guards standing right in front of it.

Kagome's eyes widened. She could see the tip of the rest carpet under the doors. The room of the wedding, was right there.

She was about to crash through those doors, stop the wedding and blurt out the whole truth when the two guards blocked her way. The young girl bounced off their muscular chest and onto the floor painfully.

One of the buff guards smirked at her, " Sorry miss, but hobos aren't allowed here. " The other guard roared with laughter, though Kagome found everything BUT funny.

She scurried up, and trying her best not to sound frustrated and rude, she bowed, " Please sir, I am not a hobo. Or a bum. Or anything. I am the younger sister of Kikyou, the woman being married inside, and I request to be in there with everybody else .. "

" Kikyou's little sister eh ? " One of the guards cut in rudely, and looked at the other one.

" Yes, yes ! I am ! I am ! " Kagome cried out, hope filling into her stomach.

" Well .. " The other guard looked at Kagome, and in the way he was, Kagome's last bit of hope drained away instantly. " That's the thing little lady. You're Kikyou's younger sister right ? Unfortunately for you, we were instructed to keep you, especially you, out of the wedding. "

Kagome's brown orbs widened, and she fell onto her knees. " W-what ?! "

The two guards smirked and regarded Kagome pitifully. " Yeah, that's right. So either hit the road, or hit the shower because you reek around .. "

Before the guard could finish, Kagome was wrapped around his leg and was looking up at him with pleading eyes. " Please sir, I must get in there ! I must stop the wedding ! Something terrible and .. "

The guard raised his eyebrow. " Stop the wedding, eh ? No wonder Kikyou told us to keep you out. You're just a little troublemaker, aren't you ? "

Desperation crept into Kagome's voice, as she tightened her embrace around the man's leg. " You have to let me in ! Please kind sir, you don't understand ! There has been a misunderstanding of the wedding, it wasn't .. "

" It wasn't meant to be for crazy, stinky little girls like you. Yeah, I know. " The guard mocked as the other one laughed.

" Please ! You have to let me in ! You have to ! " Kagome cried, now on the verge of tears.

One of the guards marched to the door and stood right in front of it, with his arms crossed, while the other one shook a desperate Kagome off his leg and grinned at her sinisterly.

" No, we don't. "

===

Inuyasha tapped his foot impatiently at the pillar, who received a glare from Sesshomaru in the front.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and looked back at the side door at the other end of the room, the door that Kikyou is suppose to walk out BY NOW.

Inuyasha heard a low, barely audible growl from his brother again and sighed. Inuyasha's face probably looked annoyed and wasn't very pleasant to the over 500 guests in the room.

But how can you blame him. There was no way he could feigned happiness when he was close to a breakdown that involved breaking everything in sight.

Finally, the piano starts to play. Inuyasha and everybody else jerked their heads up to see a slender woman, dressed in a long, long elaborate kimono, decorated with metallic blue clouds that swirled into the grey background. Dragons and snakes embedded the edges, some peeking out into the middle. Her hair was most exquisite. Half of her hair was tied up, and was tightly wrapped into a bun, with decorations and pins sticking out. Her bangs and the rest of her hair curled in front of her small pale face, making her look childish, yet elegant at the same time.

Inuyasha frowned, while everybody else beamed at the woman walking down the aisle. Inuyasha didn't see anything interesting about Kikyou's dress at all. The colour was just so dull. Like her personality.

Which was a total contrast to ..

Nevermind. Inuyasha shook his head.

Kikyou stepped up to the pillar in front of Inuyasha and gave a small smile to him that showed lots of affection and love. Inuyasha didn't want to know how her biggest smile would radiate.

Oh god ..

An old priest stepped up in front of the engaged couples and onto a platform. Inuyasha didn't bother looking at his outfit.

The priest starts to say things that seemed stupid to Inuyasha, and everything else became a blur when Inuyasha began thinking. He didn't even realize Kikyou had taken hold of his two hands and was grasping it tightly.

Inuyasha wished he loved Kikyou. He really did. He wished his heart didn't belong to someone else.

He wished.

But wishes will never come true. It never came true when he was a kid, and it won't now.

Inuyasha gave up on wishing, when his prayers for the village people was burnt alive when they had mercilessly picked on him. But for some reason, Inuyasha was feeling very strong about right now.

Wishing that he loved Kikyou ?

No, that was more of a must.

He wished for Ka ..

" I do, " Kikyou whispered softly, breaking into Inuyasha's thoughts.

Inuyasha jumped and looked around him, everybody's eyes were on him. It seemed that the priest was saying that stupid oath about living with your wife forever, blah blah blah.

Inuyasha suddenly felt lightheaded.

He realized now, he was getting married.

Married.

With a person that he didn't even love.

Yeah, that's how everything is suppose to be.

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING ?

All Inuyasha wanted to do, was the break free from Kikyou and run out of this goddamn palace. Just run away to find Kagome, pull her into his arms, and listen to her tell him that it would be okay.

It didn't sound very manly, but Inuyasha wished for nothing but that.

But it won't happen.

Wishes never come true.

The priest was almost done babbling. The half demon sighed, and sensed that Sesshomaru had given him another glare, which Inuyasha returned hastily. He'd try anything to get his mind off her.

When Inuyasha finished his silent glaring contest with his brother, it was already time for him to say his ' I do 's.

Inuyasha's amber orbs widened. He wanted to just scream ' I don't '.

It was the moment of truth, and Inuyasha will lie.

Taking a deep breath, Inuyasha prepared to say something he knew he would regret for a lifetime.

With every eye on him, Inuyasha opened his mouth, his gaze shifted sadly on the entrance door.

Kagome ..

I wish you were here.

A/N : I should really stop making my stories so predictable. Ah well =P Hehee, SUPERSECRETSAMURAI007, you're soOoO funny XD
