Chapter 8

Ai No Uta

Normal POV

Miroku waited under the arch. The wedding was about to start and he just watched as the guests filled in and took their seats. He was nervous about anything that could go wrong.

Then the music began to play and Miroku watched as Inuyasha and Kagome walked down the isle their arms linked. Kagome held a rose in her hand along with Sango's note cards that held her vows. Then Koga and Kagura came down the isle and parted to their spots.

Then 'Here Comes the Bride' began to play. Hakudoushi and Kanna walked down the isle, Hakudoushi carrying the rings and Kanna throwing the rose petals on the carpet.

Sango, in her wedding dress walked down the isle with her arm linked with her father's. Miroku watched in awe as he saw the woman he was going to spend the rest of his life with. 'She looks absolutely stunning and beautiful' Miroku thought. He smiled at her and she smiled back.

"Dearly beloved, we are here to witness Holy Matrimony between the love of a man and a woman. Does anyone have any objections to these two getting married?" began the priest.

No one said anything so the priest continued. "Time for the vows then."

Sango's POV

I turned to Kagome who handed me my note cards. She smiled at me and I turned back.

"Miroku, I've waited all my life to find my soul mate. I went through different relationships knowing that none of them were right for me." I said. "I sealed my heart not wanting to fall in love again. But then I met you. I admit that you seemed the guy who would jump from girl to girl but then I saw your true colors later on. You broke the seal on my heart and I fell in love with you. It's been 8 years we've been together and now I finally found what I've been looking for. I found my soul mate, the man I want to spend the rest of my life with, and that person is you." I finished. I meant everything I said. It was all on paper and they came out of my mouth as I said them.

Miroku's POV

When Sango finished, I took my vows from Inuyasha. I began to read from them.

"Sango, when I first met you outside your locker at the beginning of senior year at Hikari High, I liked you so much for your beauty. Later that year, I saw more of your inner beauty. I always said that you beautiful in every way. I meant every word. And now, you are the only woman good enough for me to see the beauty inside. You were such a great person to be around with. And I loved you for what you are. That's why I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I promise to make you happy in anyway possible. I want to see you smile and be happy that you'll be spending the rest of your life with me." I say, finishing my vow.

Normal POV

"Do you, Sango, take this man as your lawfully wedded husband? Do you take him in sickness and in health? And be truthful to each other for the rest of your lives?" asked the priest.

Sango smiled at Miroku and said, "I do." Sango took the ring from Hakudoushi and slipped it onto his hand.

"Do you, Miroku, take this woman as your lawfully wedded wife? Do you take her in sickness and in health? And be truthful to each other for the rest of your lives?" asked the priest, this time to Miroku.

"I do." Miroku grinned. He took the other ring from Hakudoushi and put it on her finger.

"Then I pronounce you as husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Everyone beamed at the new couple as Miroku leaned towards Sango and kissed her passionately. They broke away and began walking down the isle hand in hand. They were married.

Kagome's POV

We were all at the reception at the Sengoku Jidai Hotel. Inuyasha had already made his Best Man speech and now everyone was either eating or dancing to the music.

I just stayed at the head table watching everyone have a good time. Kagura was dancing with Inuyasha's brother, Sesshomaru. Chione was dancing with Kohaku and my brother was dancing with Kinbari. Hakudoushi was dancing with Shinji. I saw Ayame and Koga dancing with Aya being taken care of by ILR.

But seeing everyone have a good time made me think of the conversation that Inuyasha and I had before.

"Kagome, I want to be with you. Will you marry me?" asked Inuyasha. I stared into his gold eyes and saw that he was serious.

"Inuyasha…We've been apart for three years. So much has happened between then and now. Ask me again in the future when you know that the both of us are ready." I replied. It hurt for me to hurt him.

"I…I understand if you don't want to marry me Kagome…" Inuyasha said with hurt in his voice.

I looked up at him and said, "No Inuyasha. It's not that I don't want to marry you. It's just that don't you think we should catch up on what we missed over those three years we lost together?" I answered.

"You're right Kagome. That's what we'll do…"

I realized that the music had changed to a slow one. It was Miroku and Sango's first dance as husband and wife. I listened to what the song was and it was the song, "Ai No Uta" or "Song of Love".

Inuyasha came up to me and held out his hand. "Come on Kagome." He said. I took his hand and followed him onto the dance floor. He held me close and we just swayed to the music. I listened to the lyrics full about love. Before I know it, tears spill out of my eyes and stain Inuyasha's tux.

I looked up at him with the tears. "I'm sorry Inuyasha." I mutter. Inuyasha wipes the tears away with his fingers. I gaze at his handsome face. He leans towards me and kisses me. We stay on the spot, in each other's arms knowing that the Song of Love came down between us.

A/N: Well, the story is almost over! Just one more chapter to go! Oh, and just so you know, there won't be a sequel. On the other fan fiction website that I posted this on had a sequel but it's too original. If I did post it here, I would get in trouble...Anyway, please review!
