Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or anyone else from the story. They belong to Rumiko. I'm
working on the OOCness, I really am. And I'm sorry for my rudeness in the past, I apologize
to anyone I may have upset. But on with the chapter. And, I'm very very very very very very
sorry about how long you have had to wait for this chapter. I was grounded for three months,
had writers block, and when I got over that I accidentally deleted my writing programs. PLUS
I'm back in public school with homework EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. I haven't had time to sit down
and write at all. Til today when the teachers have inservice, I have a three day weekend and
my mother won't let me leave the house tonight.

"You forgive me?" Miroku asked into Kagome's ear three years after they had graduated, the day after their wedding.
"Of course. Besides it doesn't hurt too much." Kagome muttered, her head moving from Miroku's shoulder to his chest while her arms went around his waist.
"I can't believe you even agreed to marry me." he said and she smiled.
"Well, when I can still hear you singing What Do You Need (For Me To Do?) I think the answer there in itself is plain to see. You know I love you. And I would not let you get away from me by marrying someone else. You are all mine." she said her left hand seeming to glitter in the way the sunlight was hitting her wedding rings.
"And you are all mine. 'Til the day we die." said her husband, his left hand moving up to grab hers.
"That won't happen for a long long time." said his wife, her eyes closing with a slight sigh as she remembered the day before, before the wedding.
Flashback
"Kikyo, is that you?" Kagome asked slowly as the said woman started working on Kagome's nails for her wedding.
"Yes, it is me. How are you Kagome?" asked Kikyo, her eyes showing that she didn't very much care how Kagome was doing.
"I'm good. I'm getting married today." said the bride-to-be.
"To Miroku, right? I saw the announcement in the paper." said the manucurist.
"Yea. Um...Can I ask you something?" asked Kagome, her teeth chewing into her bottom lip while Kikyo filed down the other woman's nails.
"Why did I hurt you, Miroku, and Inuyasha three years ago? I was ticked off." said Kikyo, having already gone over it with Miroku when he had run into her at a grocery store a month before.
"At who? Inuyasha?"
"All three of you. Sango too, actually. I just...I couldn't understand why Inuyasha had to use me. I had feelings for the jerk. So when I realized that he was using me, well. I decided to get him back. And you in the process because you and Miroku were so happy and perfect for each other. I was jealous." Kikyo said slowly, her hands moving across Kagome's nails without even looking at them.
"But why were you mad at Sango then?" Kagome asked, the smells of the nail shop starting to cloud her brain.
"Because, she and Inuyasha were perfect for one another. Still are actually. And, well I was jealous that Sango was so perfect for him. So I had to get back at them. Get back at you."
"You tried to keep us all from being together. Why?" Kagome asked while Kikyo finished her nails.
"Who said I was trying to keep you from being together? How do you know that I didn't do all that just for this reason?" Kikyo asked while standing up and walked away to get Kagome's tab.
End Flashback
"Gome, are you alright?" asked Miroku, his mouth pressed to her earlobe trying to get a reaction out of his new wife. Any reaction.
"Sorry. Just thinking about when I was getting my nails done yesterday." said Kagome while she shook her head clear of the thoughts of Kikyo. "Did I tell you who did them?"
"No, Gome, you didn't. Who did them?" he asked while lightly kissing Kagome's wedding ring.
"Kikyo."
"What?"
"Kikyo was the one that did my nails, Houshi. I know. And you know what she said?" asked Kagome and he guessed from when he had run into her.
"She said 'Who said I was trying to keep you from being together? How do you know that I didn't do all that just for this reason?' That right?" he asked and she nodded.
"You ran into her before I did, didn't you?" at Miroku's nod she continued. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Thought you were still mad at her. And it had been when I had gone on that business trip. I really hate being the CEO of my Father's company." said Miroku and Kagome laughed.
"Yes, but you love the money you're making. Besides, soon you won't have to go on as many business trips. You'll be able to tell your dad that you want to spend some time with your 'lovely' wife." Kagome said and Miroku smiled.
"Like I want to right now?" he asked and Kagome sighed while he kissed her deeply.
Flashback to the wedding
Kagome's waist length raven hair was pulled back in a pony tail that was curled to flow down her back. In her hair was baby's breath and glitter to make it look etheral. Her veil was attached to the ponytail and went flowing down to her waist in the back and her shoulders in the front.
Her wedding dress was strapless and sleeveless. It was a high waisted dress, meaning that the waist line was directly under her breasts. The waist line went in a V-line that went down towards her navel. Where the V-line started a sort of shell was sewn on. It was plain white fabric just like on the inside of the shell. But from where the V started and up to where the dress began, the dress was white with white vines and flowers embroided into it. Where the dress ended was at her toes without shoes, the shell of it becoming a short train that fell a few inches down the floor so that it drug behind her.
On her arms were a sort of white gloves that left her fingers bare and hooked around her middle finger so that it Ved up the back of her hand and up to her wrists. At the wrists was a sort of bracelets -sewn into the fabric- made of white rhinestones. After the bracelets and up to the middle of her upper-arms was the same fabric as the Ved part of the gloves. White satin.
She wore on her feet shoes that Fashion Bug called dress sandals. They were white with a stilletto type heel that was three inches high. On the strap over her toes were white rhinestones. The strap above that was plain see through material. The shoes were hidden under her dress by about a milimeter.
On her toenailss and fingernails was a pearl colored nail polish. Over her eyelids was a soft babyblue eyeshadow, lighter than the sky on a clear day. On her cheeks was a neutral colored blush, while her lips were covered in a soft pink lipstick. Her eyeliner was silver in color while her mascara was black.
Sango, Kagome's maid of honor, wore a black and pink dress. It was made almost exactly like Kagome's, the style anyways. Where the V-line was was black and so was the inside of the shell. The outside of the shell was a powder pink as light as cotton candy. Her embroidering on the black part of the dress from the V on up was pink flowers and vines. She wore the same shoes in black, and with white rhinestones. Her gloves were the same but in the powder pink color as well. Her nails were done in a pink color. Her make up job was the exact same as Kagome's but the eyeshadow was pink.
The other bride's maid, Kirara, was dressed the same.
The men were all dressed the same, wearing black, white, and dark blue Tommy Hilfiger tuxedos. The jackets and pants were black. The shirt was white, and the ties that went with them along with vests, they were dark blue. One person in particular, was wearing out the soles of his Dexter shoes.
"Miroku, will you calm down?" Inuyasha asked his hands rubbing together as if he too were nervous.
"Shut up, Inuyasha. I can't help it. Besides, you've nothing to worry about. I'm the one getting married." Miroku growled and continued to pace, never once stopping to see Inuyasha rub his jacket pocket subconsciously.
"Yes, well...I plan on asking Sango tonight."
"What? Well, I guess you do have something to be nervous about as well. She'll tell you yes though. She does love you, after all." Miroku had finally stopped pacing to clap Inuyasha on the back.
"Yea, easy for you to say. Kagome didn't even have to think. Sango's going to tell me to wait."
End Flashback
"I still can't believe they're going to get married." Kagome said while she pulled her silk robe on.
"I still can't believe that Inuyasha was tackled to the floor." Miroku said, a laugh in his voice as he yanked Kagome backwards onto the bed.
"I thought it was funny."
Flashback to the wedding
"Kagome, sit!" Sango shouted but Kagome shook her head still pacing the length of the room.
"Why don't you calm down?" Kirara asked, her voice soft as she sat down, her hand lightly holding the beginnings of her baby belly.
"Hard to calm down when I'm getting married in five minutes." Kagome grumbled and had her mother come into the room just then.
"It's time, Kagome." Aya said dabbing at her eyes. (I lost the file that said what I listed the name as, so if that wasn't her name, I'm sorry.)
"Oh Mom..." Kagome hugged her mother and grandfather tightly before they were to go down the aisle.
'She's so beautiful. Her hair, her face, her eyes, lips, hands, everything about her. Kami, I'm in love.' Inuyasha thought to himself as he watched Sango walk down the aisle before Kagome and her grandfather were to.
"She's so beautiful." was heard through the assembly as they stood watching Kagome walk down the aisle.
One man in particular was stunned into silence, his eyes watching the woman he loved walk towards him. He was watching as she moved closer to him, his eyes scanning her face through her veil. And then his eyes scanned down her dress and he saw the engagement ring burning on her left hand. Then, as if she had called to him, he saw her eyes filled with emense joy.
'I love her, I love her, I love her.' Miroku thought, seeing that her thoughts were mirroring his as she stared into his eyes.
'Miroku...' Kagome murmured kissing her grandfather's cheek when he handed her off to her future husband.
"You're so beautiful. Kami, I love you, Kagome." Miroku murmured and Kagome smiled.
"I love you too, Houshi."
"Do you Miroku Monk take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, to cherish and love til death do you part?" the priest asked Miroku seeing the couple's hands clutched tightly.
"I do." Miroku said as he felt Kagome's hand clench around his.
"And do you Kagome Higurashi take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, to cherish and love, til death do you part?"
"I do." said Kagome feeling a tug from her heart as it soared into her chest.
(I don't know very many different religions, or any for that matter.)
"The rings."
Inuyasha reached into his left jacket pocket and nearly grabbed the ring box that contained what he hoped would be Sango's ring. Fumbling with it he pulled out the ring Miroku would slide onto Kagome's finger. Sango pulled out the ring that Miroku was to wear from the base of her bouquet, her eyes watching Inuyasha. The two handed the now wedded couple their rings watching as they slid them onto one another's fingers.
"I love you, Kagome." Miroku said and Kagome smiled.
"And I love you, Miroku."
"And now with the power invested in me by the city of Tokyo, I pronounce you man, and wife. You may kiss the bride." the priest said and Miroku lifted Kagome's veil with shaky hands.
Ting ting ting ting.
Inuyasha's knife lightly tapped against his wine glass at the end of Kagome and Miroku's first dance. Everyone stilled and the woman sitting beside him, Sango, turned questioning eyes to the man she loved. It took three tries before Inuyasha could get his throat to clear. It then took six more tries for him to actually form the words he wanted to say.
"Thank you for your attention, ladies and gentlemen. I understand that this is an occasion that should be used to celebrate the love of Miroku and Kagome Monk, but this cannot wait. I wish to say, ask more rather, for patience as I speak." Inuyasha said and then turned to Sango.
"You go Inuyasha." Miroku muttered and Kagome turned to him.
"What do you mean by that? What's going on?" Kagome murmured and he just shook his head.
"Just watch."
"Sango, I have already spoken to your family. And I have gotten their blessings. My family also gives their blessings. Now I must ask you, as is proper for me to do." continued Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha...?" Sango asked confusion shown in her eyes.
"Sango, I love you. I have since we were in high school. Since before we were in high school. I think I've always known. And I want to let the whole world know how much I love you." here Inuyasha went down on one knee, his hand pulling the box from his pocket. "I want to spend everyday waking up beside you, and everynight lying down to sleep with you. Sango, what I'm asking of you, is for you to marry me."
It happened in a blur. One moment Inuyasha was kneeling before Sango as she sat in her chair. The next Sango was sprawled across his chest kissing him as he lay in shock on the ground. Then Sango pulled away and placed butterfly kisses all over his face.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, YES!" Sango repeated and kissed him once more.
End Flashback
"I still can't believe that you said yes, Sango." Inuyasha said pulling his fiancè closer to himself as she slept on.
"Mmm?" Sango opened her eyes looking up into the eyes of the man she loved.
"I said I can't believe you said yes to me." he repeated and she smiled.
"Of course I would say yes. I love you, and I always will. You're the best thing to ever happen to my life, Inuyasha." she said and kissed him.
Somewhere in Tokyo, Japan two couples kissed and held one another, just loved one another. In another part of Tokyo sat a woman with long dark raven hair. Her dark brown eyes smiling slightly as her pale mouth grinned. Kikyo then opened her mouth to speak.
"Good luck, lovers. Though, you won't need it. The kami of Love is on your side, afterall." she then disappeared.
The end. I know that wasn't the greatest of endings, but forgive me. I haven't been able to write at all for the past six months or so. And again, I am very sorry about the not writing in forever!!! I would like to thank those readers who have stuck by me since I started this and I hope they will continue to read my writings. Any criticism is accepted and advice on future writings is expected.
