Within the Eyes of My Beholder

Chapter Twenty

Kagome awoke feeling fairly refreshed and happy. This would be the first day that she has seen Sesshomaru for two weeks. Today was the day. The sun was shining and she had a broad smile upon her lovely face. Her eyes were bright. There was a knocking at her door. She stood up to answer it. It was Sango. Her best friend since forever was also like a sister. She looked at Kagome proudly. She smiled.

"We better get you ready, eh?"

"Thank you so much Sango for helping me."

"No problem."

The two girls giggled like they did when they were children. Overnight, Miroku had proposed to her. Their wedding would be in another two weeks. They had all been so happy for the last to weeks. The girls ran off to the hot springs. They dunked themselves into the water pondering about their unknown future. Kagome suddenly started giggling hysterically. Sango looked at her quizzically then asked what was so funny. Kagome told her about last week.

Two Weeks Ago

Kagome felt bad about Inuyasha being alone. She and Sesshomaru are getting married and Shippo was going to live with them. Sango and Miroku were going to get married and start a family with Kirara. Kouga had Ayame who was waiting for him. Inuyasha would be alone. She watched him sit around doing nothing. He tried to look happy but she knew he was lonely. She really wanted to help and then she realized that there was something that she could do. She wanted to play matchmaker. She tried to think of someone. They something clicked. She thought it over. 'According to the invitations, she should be coming any minute! Perfect!'

She began to pick up some flowers. Then someone knocked on the door. Kagome called out Inuyasha's name. He ran over. 'Right on time.' She pretended that she was very busy and said in her best please-answer-the-door-for-me voice she could do.

"Hey Inuyasha, I'm sort of busy can you please get the door for me?"

"Sure."

He ran over and opened the door. The look on his face was priceless. His eyes became so wide that they threatened to pop at any minute. His jaw almost touched the floor. Kagome giggled from her "hiding spot." She eyed her friend. She was still as stunning as ever. She stared at Inuyasha and forced herself not to burst out laughing. There standing before him was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. She was tall and had several shades of brown on her hair. On the very top of her head were two blue furry ears. She had piercing brown eyes with a tint of rust. She had tan skin and stood tall. She wore a blue dress similar to the one Kagome had. She also had an alluring scent to go along with it. She gave of the scent of night-blooming flowers that came for only an hour. He regained his composure and asked for her to come in.

"Thank you, my name is Seiya. I'm one of Kagome's friends pleased to meet you."

"My name is Inuyasha; I'm her to-be brother in law."

She smiled. She surveyed the area then spotted Kagome. She sighed and then smiled.

"Come on Kag, you think you can hide from me?" She giggled as Kagome walked out of her spot with leaves in her hair. "Of course not, nothing escapes from you!" The girls hugged. Kagome straightened up and smiled. "I see you have met Inuyasha." She eyed Seiya. She kept staring at Inuyasha. Kagome smiled and quietly slipped away. Inuyasha told Seiya everything down to Naraku, Kikyo, his land, everything. For the rest of the next to weeks they became closer.

Now

Sango laughed her head off. Seiya? That was priceless. They had all been best friends when they were young. Seiya was a hanyou though; An INU hanyou to be exact. When they were older, Seiya left to travel some. Now she had returned. Sango had seen her around the castle and she was always cheery. Now she knew why.

The two got out of the water and were greeted by a cherry hanyou. Yes, cherry. Seiya had heard everything and tackled the two girls back into the water. They all got soaking wet and were giggling like they used to. Everything was just as it was supposed to.

The girls got out dried themselves. Then the girls ran over to the makeup table. They all laughed when they saw themselves in the mirror. They no longer were the girls they used to be. They were grown up now. They all had eye shadow and lipstick and they each had something special that only they had. Sango wore purple eye shadow with pink lipstick and had extra long eyelashes giving her the cute look. Sango and Kagome had to force Seiya to put anything on at all. Finally they got her to wear it. She raised an eyebrow at herself. She had blue eye shadow with a shiny lip-gloss and had mascara giving her the goth look. Kagome had pink eye shadow with red lipstick and had a light blush giving her a pure innocent look.

Then they ran into the closet and started throwing close in the air for who knows how long? Finally each of them found what they wanted to wear. Sango wore a tight black and pink dress. It covered up her shoulders and pretty much everything. Seiya wore a dress somewhat like Kagome's and Sango's. It covered up besides the fact that there were slits everywhere. It had two layers of blue with the thinner layer on top. Kagome's was beyond stunning. It was sleeveless and showed much. It matched her perfectly. It was a beautiful shade of pink that matched her blush. They all squealed when they saw each other then went down to the ballroom.

The guys were having just an EXCELLENT week. Sango had insisted that since Sesshomaru couldn't see Kagome that Miroku shouldn't be able to see her either. Sesshomaru was getting annoyed in not being able to see his mate. Inuyasha on the other hand was feeling great. He had met the girl of his dreams and she seemed to be falling for him. The guys went to the ballroom.

They stood at the end of the aisle. Sesshomaru became uncharacteristically nervous. He started fidgeting when Inuyasha elbowed him. He was about to growl when he saw the girls begin to walk down. First came Sango. She almost tripped when she saw Miroku's face. He was beginning to drool. Next was Seiya. She giggled slightly when she saw Inuyasha. It was the same look he had given her when they had very first met. Sesshomaru twitched in frustration. Where is Kagome??? Finally, Kagome came out with a broad smile on. It got bigger when she saw his expression. A week of separation must have dulled his senses some. Her scent of jasmine and lilies were a little to overwhelming for him.

The ceremony began and Sesshomaru and Kagome stood next to each other. Miroku said the speech. They said their "I do's". "You may now kiss the bride." Sesshomaru leaned in and kissed Kagome. Miroku was about to say something utterly ridiculous and was about to ruin the moment when Sango kissed him. She turned bright red when she realized what she had done. Miroku grinned and then kissed her again. Sango's eyes widened and was about to deepen the kiss when she felt something on her butt. Smack 'Stupid monk always ruins the moment.' Inuyasha just stared at Seiya who had become quite nervous from his stare. She looked at him and he looked away. She just looked then he turned and they both blushed. He broke the silence and walked over and asked her for a dance. She grinned and nodded. Miroku and Sango followed not soon after. Finally Sesshomaru turned to Kagome and asked for a dance. She leaned onto his shoulder. He nuzzled into her hair. Everyone saw that the couple should be left alone and they all started to leave. Miroku and Sango were the first to leave. Then followed Inuyasha and Seiya.

Miroku and Sango

Miroku took Sango out into the gardens. Miroku stared at Sango. He realized that they were all truly lucky. They all had three perfect angels who watched over them. He stared at his dear angel. Her pale cheeks turned to a light pink. She smiled at him. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder. Then she broke free and they started a fairly pleasant chase through the gardens. The cherry blossoms flowed around them with the wind. Finally he caught his angel. His angel was like the earth and all its living inhabitants: strong, courageous, loving, confusing, and painful. They smiled and they kissed.

Kagome and Sesshomaru

They had been left alone. Kagome led Sesshomaru to her "secret" room. He walked in and was amazed. This was a room that she and she alone, created. She used her miko abilities to enchant the room. Glitter and sparkles fell down fairly. They danced around. A youkai and a miko, how enchanting. He watched as she danced around. Her hair was flowing as the sparkles came in contact with her skin. She seemed to perfect to be true. He remembered when he had very first met her how different she had used to be. She was filled with sorrow. Now she was happy and it made him feel good. She was like the angel of wind; she was free, loving, caring, and strong. He swept his angel into his arms as they lay contently staring out the window.

Inuyasha and Seiya

Inuyasha led Seiya to a stream which led to a lake. She smiled. Inuyasha had a genuine smile on. She had been the only person he had ever been attracted too. It wasn't because she was a hanyou, or her looks, she was simply her. He put his arms around her from behind and was quite content in inhaling her scent when she wiggled loose. She ran to the stream and got all wet. He chased after her and watched how the water seemed to revolve around her. He took the chase and followed her to the lake. A full moon shining behind her, she whipped her head around to have the water sparkle across her face. She stood on a lone rock where he followed her to the center of the lake. She was the last angel, the angel of the night, through the night she was free, and showed her true nature. He caught her and embraced her. She smiled and whispered, "We are all different, ne? Yet we are all drawn together. To others I am just another hanyou, some would say that a miko and a youkai would never go; others would say that a taijiya and monk are ridiculous. You see? It all depends within the eyes of my beholder. To them, we will be whatever we want to be." He tightened his embrace and held her then kissed her.
