Once again: no offence is meant by matters of religion. If you are offended, I assure you, it was done unintentionally.
***************************
Wedding Bells, Shotgun Shells!
***************************
After what seemed like years, Sango and Miroku broke apart. A girlish blush traveled into Sango's cheeks as she looked up at Miroku's grinning face.
"Come on, Sango," Miroku joked, "you didn't react at all last night and here you are blushing like a school girl because of a kiss!"
An elderly couple that was returning to their room gasped. The man glared at Miroku and then at Sango. While they were returning to their room, Sango heard the woman mutter: "Kids these days."
Miroku chuckled a little bit as the woman angrily slammed her door shut.
As Sango's eyes were on their downward migration to her feet, she caught sight of the small box that Miroku grasped in his hand. She suddenly remembered why she was out in the hall in the first place and checked her watch.
"Oh, shit! The wedding is in a half hour!" Sango exclaimed, a panicked look striking her features.
Right now she had absolutely no time to find the boys room and give the note to Jason. She had to think of a quick solution. That's when her gaze returned to the bearer of the little gray box: Miroku.
"Miroku, you take this note to Jason and tell him to read it before you guys head down to the chapel. I'll take the box from Jason and make sure Kara gets it."
Without waiting for a reply of any sort, Sango exchanged the box and note and rushed back to the girls' room as fast as she could in her dress. Miroku blinked for a minute, his brain registering what had just happened.
1. Got asked to take a box to Kara.
2. Got pissed looking for the correct room.
3. Made ice machines pay for angering him.
4. By pure luck, met up with Sango.
5. Kissed the girl of his dreams without her beating him to a bloody pulp.
Sighing happily with himself, Miroku turned in the direction of the guy's room. He began the journey back noting some very angry looking maintenance workers who were fussing over the mangled and broken ice machines.
Note to self: don't take anger out on inanimate objects.

In the chapel, two agents were conversing on their plans.
"What exactly am I doing again?" Kouga asked.
Sesshomaru rubbed his temples. If he had any hope for his partner before, it was completely abolished; Kouga was simply a moron and, as of now, it couldn't be helped.
"You are going to watch and see if Kikyo or Kagura comes," Sesshomaru said, slightly annoyed, "and let me know if you see them."
Kouga's eyes widened.
"But how will I know if its Kikyo and not that other chick?!" he shouted.
"Will you be quiet!" Sesshomaru hushed him when he got a strange look from several guests and the priest.
Sesshomaru gave them a reassuring smile that only succeeded in creeping them out all the more.
He retuned to hissing in Kouga's face. "That girl's name is Kagome and she's in the wedding procession, so it's impossible for you to mistake them again."
Kouga nodded, but didn't look convinced.
"Whatever you say, Sess."
"Didn't I tell you NEVER to call me that?!"
"You did? Hmm…"
Oh, yes. Kouga was a complete and utter idiot. And, as some of the now thoroughly freaked out guests thought, Sesshomaru was bipolar.
****
Miroku came back to the guys' room just as Inu-Yasha was leaving it, undoubtedly to look for the said man.
"Where the hell were you?!" Inu-Yasha shouted at him.
Miroku blissfully walked by him and straight into the room. He handed the note to Jason then flopped on to the couch.
"From Kara." he said simply in a preoccupied voice. "Read."
Inu-Yasha came back in and eyed Miroku suspiciously along with all the other men.
"Miroku," Jason said cautiously, "are you feeling well?"
"Perfect."
Inu-Yasha eyed him suspiciously. Then he came over and kneeled in front of Miroku and started searching his head for bumps, bruises, or anything else that may have suggested a run in with one of the girls.
Inu-Yasha stood up straight to deliver his deduction.
"I pronounce him delusional!"
It took Miroku a moment to register this as an insult, but when he did the others were too far-gone with laughter over the letter. All of them except Jason, that is. He weighed the possible consequences of his actions.
"No fun now?" he said making a motion like a scale dipping to one side with his hands. "Or no fun later?" he finished balancing the 'scale' in opposing ways.
"I'd take no fun later…" Matt said matter-of-factly.
"My thoughts EXACTLY!" Jason said with a dopey grin.
"Smashing cake in her face it is!" Inu-Yasha said jubilantly.
***
Kara fidgeted nervously as she eyed the new necklace Jason had given her. It was gorgeous! She had never seen anything like it.
"Now you have something new, as well!" Kagome said excitedly.
All Kara could do was nod her head merrily as she walked down the hall to the elevator.
***
Inu-Yasha was fussing over his bowtie as the men made their way to the chapel doors. His hand got slapped several times by Miroku who insisted that it was fine. He was backed up by Jason's father, comfortable around new people as he was, who said he would tie Inu-Yasha's hands up if he didn't quit messing with the damn tie.
Jason was uncommonly calm for a groom. After all, this was HIS wedding and he hadn't even started to sweat. Yet.
***
"I can't believe this is it!" Kagome squealed excitedly, bouncing up and down in the sacristy*.
Kara stared blankly at her.
"You'd think it was her wedding…" Sango said dryly.
"Just trying to liven things up a little bit…" Kagome said with a pout.
Inu-Yasha, Miroku, and the other men in the procession came into the sacristy. Kagome, Sango, and Kara's eyes nearly popped out of their heads.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" they all shouted at once, pointing at Inu-Yasha and Miroku.
"Excuse me ladies," the priest said calmly, "but we are in a church. Please refrain from that type of language."
"Sorry, Father."
The girls then turned back to the now stunned Inu-Yasha and Miroku.
"Well?" Kagome asked.
"Matt hurt himself and Jack is helping him," Miroku said simply.
"That explains what?" Kara asked.
"Lucky me," Inu-Yasha said dryly with a little sarcastic bounce similar to Kagome's. "I get to be Matt's replacement."
"I, my dear ladies," Miroku said with a very melodramatic bow while taking Sango's hand and kissing it, "am here to take the place of Jack for the procession."
Sango blushed several shades of red.
The priest watched with an amused look on his face.
That one was a strange man indeed…
***
Sesshomaru stood in accordance to the procession music that was now being played. He saw the groom sweating nervously on the altar.
Truth be told, the chapel was gorgeous, but it wasn't like Sesshomaru would admit that. He was there for one reason and one reason only: protect Inu-Yasha.
***
It was now Sango and Miroku's turn to start up the aisle. They did so with a smile.
***
Sesshomaru watched the pair walk up. He caught something in the corner of his eye. It was a woman.
Who was it?
Kagura?
Kikyo?
***
Kagome and Inu-Yasha waited anxiously for Miroku and Sango to get down the aisle just a little bit further.
Kagome took a deep breath. This was all too much excitement for her to bear. Inu-Yasha noted her anxiety with a quiet chuckle.
"Don't worry, Kagome," he whispered in her ear. "You'll only have to do this twice more. At Sango's wedding and at mine. Only then you'll be under a bit more stress."
Kagome gasped. What had he just meant by that?! Was that some kind of half ass proposal?! She had no time to ask; now it was their turn to walk down the aisle.
***
Sesshomaru quickly moved to the other side of the chapel, where he had seen the woman. Who was she and why was she here?
He saw her again.
It was Kikyo!
Kikyo was moving quickly to the main aisle. She had something clutched in her hand. It looked suspiciously like a gun. Then Sesshomaru saw somebody else in the corner of his eye. He stopped and was shocked to see Kagura. Then he saw she had a small pistol clutched in her hands.
Where the hell was Kouga?!
This situation was going downhill fast. The car spun out of control when Inu-Yasha and Kagome stepped out of the sacristy. Both Kagura and Kikyo pulled up their hands up to reveal their pistols. There was two loud BANG!'s and then all hell broke loose as two people fell to the ground.

Sacristy* in a church, this is the room behind the altar and/or at the end of the aisle near the doors.
Heh, heh… I know… short for such a long wait. Sorry, but I'm starting to loose interest in this story. Don't worry, I WILL finish it…the end is near…very near…in like…two or three chapters… Your reviews are what's keeping me going on it so if you want more: review. And, as some of you may notice, the summary has changed. This way it's easier for me to write.
I am gaining interest in a new story I'm writing: Hagakure. Not exactly a romance, but I'm positive it will have fluff and a bit of jealousy in it. It's kinda like a Humor/Action/Adventure with a pinch of Romance and a dash of Angst. What? They call that a soap opera? Oh…
