Chapter 17: The Long Road To Happiness

With their performance over, the gang headed back to the hotel that they were currently residing

in. Inuyasha and Kagome had some things they needed to sort out, but everyone was happy for the

troubled couple.

"Kagome, please tell me everything. I want to know everyting about your past, no secrets."

Inuyasha said, sitting down with Kagome on his bed.

Kagome nodded, took a deep breath and began her story.

"As you know, my father died when I was five, from an overdose of cocaine, which left just the

two of us, my mother and I, alone to struggle in this world. When I entered into highschool, I

finally made a few friends and they're the ones who took me to see him. When I saw him I knew

that there was something about him, something that wouldn't let me forget about him, no matter

how hard I tried. When we did finally meet, it was hard for us to stay away from each other.

He taught me how to play the guitar, he was good, he could've made it you know." Kagome said

with a soft look on her face as she smiled and reminiced about her first love.

Inuyasha felt a small twinge of jealousy run through him as he saw the soft look on her face,

love shimmering in her eyes as she talked about her ex-love.

"One day however, I happened to catch him in his room....sniffing coke." Her eyes lost the

luster they once had in them as her features grew sullen.

"He promised to me that he would, and I believed him, well at least I thought I did. When I

think about it now, I realized I had a lot of doubt about our relationship, and that it

probably would've never worked out for us in the end, we were just too different. A couple of

months after, he died." She said. with tears shimmering in her eyes.

"Kagome..." Inuyasha began but was cut off.

"Three months. That's the small amount of time we had to be together."

"Hey, it's okay. Would Hojo want you to be sad like this? I think not, I know I wouldn't. As

long as I could see your smile, why that'd be enough for me." He said, gently holding her

by her shoulders.

"Inuyasha..." She whispered, touching his face softly.

As the two went further into their relationship, the moon shined down upon them, bathing them

in the soft moonlight.

3 Months Later

"So whudduya think? I look good or what?" Koga asked, proud of what the answer was.

"Yeah, looking sharp. What about me? I feel like a dog dressed for a damn dog show." Inuyasha

replied.

"Naw, you look tight." Koga said reassuringly.

"I look like a damn waiter in this thing." Miroku said, coming out of the back room.

"Good, give a shot of Vodka then before we go in, I feel like I'm gonna have a fucking heart

attack with all this anxiety building inside of me."

Miroku shot him one of the best death glares of all time in return.

"Don't pay attention to dog boy over there, you look great." Koga said.

"Yeah, you know I'm just yankin' your chain." Inuyasha replied, sending Miroku his trademark

smirk, with a thumbs up to go with it, followed by a wink.

"You guys ready" Toutosai asked, popping his head through the open crack in the door.

"Yeah, and thanks for being our man of honor Touto." Inuyasha said with a smile.

"Hey, it's an honor to be your honored man. Hoo Hoo Hoo!" He replied, laughing at his own

corny joke.

"Right...But seriously, thank you. Without your help, I probably wouldn't be walking down

that aisle today." Inuyasha gratefully said.

"Hey, I only did what I was paid to do. Now let's go and get you fellas married, 'eh?"

"Yeah, we're gonna get lucky tonight!"

"Miroku!" Inuyasha and Koga yelled, bopping Miroku over the head at the same time.

"All right, let's go." Inuyasha said, as he lead the guys out and down the aisle that looked

more like the long road to happiness.

Well, did you all like the ending? I know you Inu/Kag fans are probably pissed that I didn't

have a lemon for these two, but I just didn't think it would appropriate to write it out, so I

just implied that it happened rather than actually provide details. Well, that's it for this

story and thanks to all those who reviewed out there in computerland. Ciao!
