Chapter 15, Wedding Bells
When Inuyasha woke up he looked beside him and panicked when he saw Kagome was not there but then thought himself foolish when she walked into the room, "Inuyasha" Kagome cried and ran to him tears of happiness blinding her vision she embraced him and clung to him like she would never let go even in death, "Kagome" Inuyasha said sounding relived as he returned her embrace filled with just as much love, "achem we're sorry interrupt but we have to get going" came Sango's voice from the door way Inuyasha and Kagome slowly broke apart as if they did they would never see each other again. They ended up leaving around noon, Kagome was fast asleep in Inuyasha's sleeve still tired from being woken up so early Sango had watched jealously as Kagome had given him a kiss. She turned back into a small tiger like kitten, jumped into his sleeve, then fell asleep, "he's being so sweet with her, and I end up getting stuck with hentai boy over here" Sango complained out loud maybe a little bit to loudly because Miroku gave her a hurt look then turned back to tormenting Shippo for the comment he had made. Inuyasha put a finger to his lips and gave her a glare that clearly read 'shut up or I'll beat the crap out of you' then he turned his attention back to sniffing the air for youkais. "Its not fair. I mean if only Miroku wasn't such a lech then he would be just the type of guy I would go out with or in his words I would bear his children" Sango said with tears starting to brim in her eyes Kagome sat down with her to help her through this "I'll ask Inuyasha if he can speak with him you know man to man" Kagome comforted her, Sango seemed satisfied with that solution and stopped crying. When they got back to camp, Kagome took Inuyasha aside, and she "convinced" him to talk to Miroku. When they arrived back at camp Inuyasha dragged a praying-for-his-life-Miroku out to a hill near where they were camped. Then sat him down and gave him a glare that could melt the whole north pole Inuyasha cringed every time he moved his back it still hurt from all those sits he would get her back for that the minuet they get back to camp Miroku inched away from Inuyasha as he sat down he was still a little bit uncertain that Inuyasha's new form was safe he threw his arms over his face when the youkai opened his mouth to speak but to his surprise Inuyasha's voice was not filled with hatred, anger, or even as it sometimes was sorrow. It reminded him so much of his father when he was disappointed because Miroku gave in to his lecherous ways without a fight that he almost got up and bowed in respect before he remembered that this was Inuyasha and not his father speaking he listened to what Inuyasha had to say, "Miroku why the fuck do you not ever try to control your hentai urges? you know that Sango loves you but she hates it when you grope her and every time you go up to another girl and give her your famous pick up line. You love Sango even more, what does she have to do to get through to you? Fuck I mean does she have to fulfill your hentai ideas for you to love her? it seems like it. It's Just so frustrating for her watching me 'n Kagome together but it breaks her heart every time you go to another girl. I mean get a grip on your self, man! she is the one, but your such a baka that you will never be able to see it" Inuyasha finished then stormed off into the trees to see if Kagome wanted to go to sleep yet and left Miroku sitting there astruck that anyone, even Inuyasha could be so truthful about feelings other then his "so she loves me" thought Miroku "I've been such a baka to her worse then a baka I been just a down right shitty asshole Inuyasha was right when he said I have shit for brains I should have told her how I feel. That's it that's what I'll do! I'll propose my love to her in the form of a marriage proposal. No I don't have the right stuff for it maybe Kagome and Inuyasha can help me" and with those thoughts Miroku went off to find them. "A wedding? let me get this straight. All you can think about is marriage? when we are about face the most important battle of our lives all you can think about is marriage?" Kagome screamed at the top of her lungs "well whose the special girl? is it that, oh, 15 year old Koharu maybe, or one of the other hundreds of women and girls that you've ever met whose the lucky one" Inuyasha smirked "No, the one I want to marry is named Sango" Miroku said so quietly that even Inuyasha and Kagome's sensitive ears had trouble picking it up, but that stopped Kagome in mid sentence and her features changed from very, very, very, pissed off to soft and relived "well that changes everything. Inuyasha and I will be right back. I need to go get a ring for you" Kagome said quickly "we will?" Inuyasha questioned but one look from Kagome told him to change his answer or he and the ground would be permanent friends "I mean we will" Inuyasha quickly answered "good then I'll go ask Sango the big question now" and with that Miroku walked off. Inuyasha and Kagome quickly yelled after him "Miroku what ever you do, don't grope." "You know I hate charity work. Why did you make me do this" Inuyasha wined as they flew to a river bank filled with gold and jade that was quite far away from the camp "for two reasons the first because Sango and Miroku might want some time alone if she says yes and second there might be a demon at the river and I know how much you like to show your Tetsusaiga off in battle koibito" Kagome teased, "but my darling youkai you might get hurt" Inuyasha teased her back they laughed at each other and looked loving into each others eyes each one thinking how lucky they were to have each other "Aishiteru" they whispered at the same time. When they reached the river there was indeed a demon waiting for them, but when they noticed it was to late a crocodile demon shot out of the water and bit Kagome then fell back into the water and swam away. Inuyasha caught Kagome before she hit the ground and carried her back to the camp along with some gold and jade. When he reached the camp he lay Kagome down on her sleeping bag then sat down to watch over her. When Kagome woke up the first thing she saw was Naraku leaning over her looking very worried she quickly brought her hand up and slapped him hard then she jumped up and ran in the direction of the fire only to find that Kagura, Kageromaru, Juromaru, and one of Naraku's wasps, as Kagura who was really Sango came close to Kagome she ran as fast as she could and soon bumped into Sango "Sango how good to see you how did Miroku's proposal go? did you say yes? Sango, I'm so glad you escaped Naraku, Juromaru, Kageromaru, and one of Naraku's wasps are all at our camp come on we must go see if the others got away safely" Kagome finished then sat down so that she could calm down enough so that she would be ready to lose her arrows, Kagura who looked to Kagome like Sango looked at Kagome in astonishment had this human female just called her by the exterminators name that she had heard when they were in battle this must be another one of Naraku's tricks well she might as well play along, "Kagome I will take you to the place where the others are hiding" Kagome looked up at who she thought was Sango then gave her a big hug "arigato Sango I knew I could count on my best friend" Kagura rolled her eyes then flicked a feather out that looked to Kagome like Kirara when she was in her fighting form then they flew off in the direction of Naraku's castle. "Where is she?" Inuyasha came tearing into the camp site roaring at the top of his lungs the real Sango had quickly brought her boomerang in front of her and Miroku thinking that if Kagome could go crazy when her mate was in trouble then there was no reason that he wouldn't do the same and right now she saw he wanted the blood of the one who took Kagome and was enraged big time. Sango knew she had no choice, so she threw her boomerang at Inuyasha it hit him squarely in the stomach and he was knocked out cold. When Kagome and Kagura arrived at the castle Kagome scanned the area and when she saw the person who she thought was Inuyasha she ran to him and embraced him, but the one whom she embraced was none other then Naraku himself. When Inuyasha came to he found he had a cold compress on his forehead and he could smell "ramen" he shouted happily then he felt a warm cup being placed into his hands he looked up expecting to see Kagome's worried face hovering over him but to his great disappointment it was only Sango, when he was half way through his ramen he set it down images of the night before flashing in his mind he then got up and went over to Sango and handed her the rest of his ramen then Inuyasha jumped up into a large tree and stayed up there for about half the day, when Sango and Miroku offered him some more food Inuyasha gave the same reply that Kagome had given when he was very injured that he would not sleep and would not eat until his mate was back in his arms safe and sound Sango and Miroku rolled their eyes at him great they again had a blood thirsty youkai with them and this time it looked like there wouldn't be talk only death. "So what have you got planned this time Naraku?" Kagura questioned "the girl she seems to be Inuyasha's mate what do you think would happen if he saw I Naraku with his loving mate and what would happen if she was turned against him, how much do think he would give up to have her in his arms safe, and that she be released from the spell, do you think maybe the Shikon No Tama, what would happen if this girl suddenly found herself looking straight into the eyes of the mate she has killed because of my spell?" Naraku finished with an evil laugh "Oh I see you will ask for the Shikon No Tama as a ransom. If you give the girl back safe and sound. When Inuyasha comes because to this girl you now look like her love you will get her to kill him then as she lets her arrow fly you will release her from the spell and she will kill. Herself for the deed that she has done" "clever, but, Naraku are you so foolish to think that a girl that is so deeply in love would be fooled into killing her mate" Kagura smirked "you don't think the great Naraku would let something so important slip as getting Inuyasha's mate to do away with him do you?" Naraku questioned in a dangerous tone that made Kagura flinch "I've cloaked you, one of my wasps, Kanna, Juromaru, Kageromaru, and myself in the girls companions likeness and her real companions in our likeness" Naraku finished then he sat down to figure out just what to do when Inuyasha and his traveling partners got there.
