'Thinking' "talking"

Song Daniel Bedingfield Girlfriend

Purgatory Chapter 5 Last chapter

The snow had melted and spring had started to break through the clouds in the sky. Warm sunlight bathed the large temple at the top of mount Inchata. It's golden wolf statues gleamed in the sunlight. Flowers bloomed and butterflies flew about.

Ben had taken Sesshomaru to be fitted with the ceremonial Celtic robes. They were silk and where very comfortable it was a traditional Celtic Wolf out fit like the one's Fate wore all the time. Fate was being fitted with a beautiful dress that her mother had worn to her wedding. It was sewed together with demon hair, which would never brake. It was a long silver dress that clung to her every curve. The train would be carried by Rin and her nephews, Her hair would be made to lay flatly against her back and when the wind would blow it would move like being dragged by angels.

'Girlfriend, you make my

Head start spinning around

And all I can ever hear

Is the sound

Of your heart beating

In my ears

Girlfriend, this boy has found

Another reason to sing

You're reminding

Me of everything

That I hold dear in my heart'

Ben had gotten the rings Fate and his father had left for when she was married. Two from the groom one for the bride, the males where in crested with the symbol of their wolf tribe and where sliver. The woman's was elegant silver band inscribed with her mother and father's name.

People where called from miles around to watch the grand ceremony. The first people to arrive where the tribe that Fate had lived in with her five other dragons. Once back at the cave Fate and Sesshomaru where separated by the two groups one he-wolfs the other she-wolfs. Fate was overwhelmed by the chatter she went outside to play with the children; she picked Rin up and spun her around in a circle.

'And I'm feeling elevated

Lifted to my highest dream

My whole world's revolving

In circles round your heart

You gotta be the one for

Me or else life

Makes no sense

So wrap you arms

Around me and

Kiss me till I'm dead'

She brought the young into a large hug. Rin giggled and waved at Sesshomaru. Fate was wearing a pure white kimono so was Rin so they looked like the perfect pair to play in the bunch of flowers at their feet. She sat the girl down and knelt next her picking flowers with the little girl. Another wolf walked up to her after arriving he looked elderly. He went to shake hands but Fate jumped up and hugged him. A she-wolf came up behind him and tapped Fate on the shoulder making her turn and smile bigger, if it was possible. Rin showed Fate the flowers she whispered something to Rin then told the wolf yokai something. Their eyes followed the young girl until she gave the flowers to Sesshomaru.

A wolf came up from behind her and hugged her picking her up. She struggled free and turned around and hugged her surrogate father and saw her surrogate mother coming up with to other children about her age behind her. She ran up and hugged her around the torso, then stood up strait and smiled. Rin ran up behind her and hid behind her leg shyly. The woman bent down to her level and beckoned the child forward, Fate said something to make her walk forward into then woman's embrace.

When it came time to sleep Sesshomaru was dragged with the men into the back and the women stayed in the front talking about tomorrows events, but the bride wasn't paying attention she was making a flower crown for Rin who was picking flowers in the field. Fate heard Rin scream Sesshomaru darted out, as did Fate all thought it was a set up until they saw Fate draw her whip out and call on her dragons. Sesshomaru unsheathed his sword and bounded through the flowers. Another scream echoed through the large field but this was not Rin's but of an attack Fate pushed harder against the ground to move faster. When they got there in-between Rin and the sayin was a man in a red kimono and a monk, two women stood at the side getting Rin to a safe area, one was a demon slayer and the other looked just like a ordinary human with a bow and arrows. Blood dripped from the dog-eared man. Fate saw over forty sayins where floating in the air she jumped on the dragon and motioned for Sesshomaru to do the same.

The dragons split and turning in to be on either side of the sayin army. Fate rode Domunos and Sesshomaru rode 'Blood. One woman watched the dragons approach but didn't say anything the demon slayer almost yelled but was hushed by the archer. The sayins stared as the dragons circled like vultures above their heads No one saw the riders on the two front dragons until they did a nose dive into the mob of defenseless sayins. Fate cut through the sayins with her whip the bodies being incinerated by the dragons fire before they could start falling. Sesshomaru did the same tactic but used a sword. Within ten minutes every sayin was just a pile of dust. The eight dragons landed and both riders jumped off in unison

'Girlfriend, a girl like you

Would take an army to fine

How glad I am that you said

You would be mine

Standing there in the cold,

Dark night

Girlfriend let me take you to

The fields of the sun

How much it means to me

That you are the one

That I hold here in my arms'

"Keh we didn't need your help" The hanyou scoffed

"Don't get cocky with me, or you'll turn out like my brother" Fate said

"Sesshomaru, what in the hell are you doing here?" The red clothed man glared

"Oh little brother it is none of your concern."

"Sesshomaru family is family, and don't say anything" She snapped before he could comment

Rin ran up and hugged Sesshomaru's leg tightly then switched to Fate's.

"Everyone is welcome at this celebration." Sung Fate as she danced away with Rin in her arms. Rin sang along to. Sesshomaru cocked an eyebrow at her attitude. Then turned back to his half brother. Who's eye's where about to pop out of his head and his jaw was on the floor. Sesshomaru close his mouth at started to walk away.

"Are you coming or not you heard what she said family is family," he stated flatly

"Inuyasha common" said the young archer the demon slayer close behind

"Yea yea Kagome" He said running far enough to catch up with the monk

"That woman told your brother what to do"

"Yea Miroku I was there to"

"Did you notice his armor?"

"What?"

"His armor it was gone and that was not the usual attire he wears"

"Yea your right"

"So what could that mean?"

"She said celebration maybe a party"

"But family is family what does that mean?"

"I don't know, lets catch up with Sango and Kagome"

'And I'm feeling elevated

Lifted to my highest dream

My whole world's revolving

In circles round your heart

You gotta be the one for

Me or else life

Makes no sense

So wrap you arms

Around me and

Kiss me till I'm dead'

The group waked up to a large cave where a party was being held wolf yokai where everywhere. Inuyasha cringed inside at the sight of the one person he hoped wouldn't be in the flood of wolfs. Kouga was talking with another wolf and turned his head to see Inuyasha, he glared. Kouga ran forward and stopped right in front of the group.

"What are you doing here mutt-face"

"Nothing wimpy-wolf"

"Children, children do I have to put you in time out" said Fate walking up

"But..." Kouga began

"Kouga, life is hard get a helmet" she stated then hit him in the forehead with the heal of her hand. "Now you people girls that way guys that was and Sesshomaru's brother you do anything to start a fight I will personally rip off your ears okey doeky"

The party continued until everyone fell asleep. The next morning Fate was rushed into the hot spring and bathed then slipped into her dress. Her hair was fixed and the three train holders where dressed up. Sesshomaru bathed and dressed himself, and was met by Ben who helped him tie a sash on that was very complicated to do by yourself. Every one rushed up to the temple yard and took their seats. Inuyasha clicked and whispered to Miroku it was a wedding and all the way down to Kagome. Inuyasha saw the groom was his brother and let his mouth hang open. Miroku closed his mouth for him. The sun was shining brightly and a light breeze danced in the air. A cedar flute was playing some where as everyone stood and looked down where the large dragons sat with their wings covering the passage way. One by one each wing was lifted away until there was one left. And if that were lifted the protectors of the bride would accept the groom. Domunos's wing was lifted and there stood Fate. Her white dress being held by three children, for a second time frozen in all its glory just for her she took one-step and time started up again. She made her way down the aisle her hands at her sides. She made it to the side of Sesshomaru. They exchanged vows is wolfen tongue, which Ben thoughtfully taught Sesshomaru. Then they kissed everyone stood and cheered, clapping and whistling. Rin ran up to her newly formed family as hugged their legs. Sesshomaru held the young girls hand and the one of his new mate. His face was glowing with joy. The dragons roared blowing fire in the air. Every person hushed at the sight of a glowing white ball hovering at the end of the passageway. This was usually the giving of the rings, at Bens his surrogate father and mother had done it. The white balls flashed blinding everyone for a second. When everyone saw who was standing at the end of the aisle they froze. There they stood her mother and father holding hands and smiling. Her father walked up to Sesshomaru and presented the rings and her mother presented her ring to Fate. She touched her mother's hand and in was there flesh and bone. The rings where slipped on and it was official. They where no mates and could bare children and raise them.

"Are you real?" Fate whispered to her mother

"Yes dear, Xenas brought us back"

"She hugged her mother and father then turned back to her mate and kissed him deep. Rin looked at the woman and man standing before her. She walked up and pulled the woman's dress.

"Are we a family?" she questioned

"Yes young one we are a family"

Everyday after that Fate and Sesshomaru lived wondrously together and had three children two being twins, Rin was raised like one of their own. The sayins where finally defeated when their prince was slaughtered, by "Mr. Possessive". And it's said whenever you stand on Inchata flat where the temple used to stand, you can still hear the cheers and the roars of the dragons.
