Not Forever

First Fan Fic
I have time to write! ::gasp:: It's a bloody miracle! I work a lot....more then I want to at times. It gets really stressful. Sorry it's been so long since I've updated....don't really have anything more to say. Or do I? ummm Oh! I have advice for everyone, be careful with your relationship between you and your best friend (if best friend is opposite gender) it just may get really confusing.......
Poll: Who do you want Sesshomaru to have a relationship with?
1 - Kagura (no they don't have a relationship just a possibility) - 3
2 - Rin (It wouldn't be in this fic, would be in the next) - 5
3 – Suki – 2
I changed the name of Kagome's cousin, due to the fact that when I had found the name Roru months ago I never thought I'd end up using it as a pen name.
Remember to R&R!

Chapter 30
Wedding Plans?
Suki was desperate to see if she could pass through into the Feudal Era. For the past six hours her cousin had told her countless tales and stories of the past three years. Traveling around in the crisp, clean air, surrounded by beautiful scenery. Plus, there were the stories of the battles that had taken place against powerful demons. "Didn't you say you wanted to meet my prince charming?" Kagome said with a laugh at the name Suki had come up with to describe Inuyasha when she had heard all the stories. "Definitely, and I want to see your hanyou form," Suki said as she opened the front door.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome called as she walked inside. "You don't have to scream wench," he said sauntering down the stairs. Both girls just stood there blinking, frozen in shock. Seems that they got home just in time to see Inuyasha wearing nothing not a pair of baggy black jeans and his rosary of course, his chest was still wet from a shower.
"Is that him?" Suki was finally able to utter after a few minutes of Inuyasha giving them odd looks and waving a hand in front of their faces. "Yep," Kagome said with a smile as she gave her hanyou a hug. "What the...." Inuyasha began to say, surprised by the sudden hug. "Suki!" Souta yelled running into the room to jump on one of his favorite cousins. "Hey twerp get off me already you're pulling my hair!" Suki replied with a laugh. That's what Mrs. Higurashi ended up walking in on when she went to announce that dinner was ready. "Uh....dinner anyone?" she said obviously surprised to see her daughter clinging on a half dressed Inuyasha, and her son hugging someone who appeared to be her niece.
Very little time had passed since Mrs. Higurashi had seen that great spectacle in the doorway of her home. "Great dinner, Auntie!" Suki said to her aunt taking a sip of diet Pepsi. In honor of her niece's visit, she had prepared some American dishes, since Suki had been living in America for the past six years. The fact that the meal was of cheeseburgers, BBQ chicken, and potato chips confused Inuyasha but once he had tried the dishes he ate everything Kagome would let him. If it was up to him, he would have eaten everything and would have left empty plates for everyone else at the dinner table. Kagome grimaced as she watched Inuyasha inhaul a cheeseburger, barely chewing.
"It's like I'm back in the US, but I'll have to get used to what I ate as a child since I'm going to attend college here this fall," Suki said grabbing the last burger away from Souta. "Oi!" he cried trying to grab it back. "Now Souta behave, Suki is your cousin along with a guest in his home," Ji- chan said as he poked his chopsticks at a potato chip. "Ji-chan never likes eating anything that he can't read about in his old scrolls," Kagome giggled to her cousin. "I heard that! Do you even know the origins of sushi?" "Uh oh...." everyone at the table exchanged pained looks, as they knew they were in for another boring tale. "It began back when........"
It took nearly five hours for Ji-chan to tell the family about the origin of sushi, which some how led into a story about how this elderly woman killed a swordfish when he was a child. The sun had set in the sky in a brilliant array of oranges and yellows; then the moon had risen high into a dark blue night sky speckled with stars by the time Suki was able to unpack her things in the guest bedroom across from Kagome's. "Is this how things always are for you?" Suki asked looking back at Kagome, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed behind her. "Pretty much, scary thought isn't it? Though, it is kind of weird. I'm usually not home for this long of a time. For the past three years, most of my time has been spent in the feudal era fighting demons," she responded watching Suki hang her clothes in the closet. "Before your wedding, we have to see if I can get through the well. I'm dying to meet Shippo, Sango and Miroku. And maybe fight a demon or two," Suki finished with a laugh. "Fight a demon or two?" Kagome repeated raising an eyebrow. "Yeah why not? I know how to use a sword and daggers. Though they wouldn't let me bring them into the country yet, they're stuck in customs for a month or so," she said with a pout as she sat down on the bed beside Kagome.
"But hey why are we talking about me? You're the one getting married next month! What plans do you have for it? Where are you having the ceremony? Have you picked out your dress yet? What's the color scheme? Who are the bridesmaids? Who's the maid of honor? Have you decided on the caterer yet? Have you talked Inuyasha into wearing a tux? Who are the ushers going to be? What about the best man? Inuyasha doesn't know really anyone in this time outside of your family does he? How is he going to have a best man? What kind of flowers do you want in your bouquet? Are you going to try to bring your friends from the past here or are you going to have another wedding in the past? Since you're both hanyous is there a special mating ritual? Have you two slept together yet? How about the honeymoon?" Suki rattled on for nearly five minutes causing herself to get red in the face from asking so many questions and taking few pauses to breathe.
"Whoa! Too many questions at once! Calm down I still have plenty of time to get everything figured out," Kagome said holding her hands up to stop more questions that may spew from her cousin's mouth. "Fine, but you have to tell me something," Suki said crossing her arms. "I was waiting for you to come into town before I went dress shopping. My mother is well, a little old fashioned, and I wanted to see if Sango could pass through the well. This also means, I want all my friends from the Feudal Era to come here for my modern day wedding. I'm not sure if Inuyasha wants to have a wedding there or not." Suki's jaw dropped and starred blankly at her cousin, "You mean you haven't done much of anything to get ready for YOUR wedding?" "Pretty much....Mom has called a few caterers...." "Where's the phone book?" Suki asked getting up from the bed. "Why?" Kagome asked as she followed her downstairs. "We need to get you an appointment at a bridal boutique."
Suki was overjoyed at the news that there were two bridal boutiques with open appointment times the next two days. To Kagome it was the crack of dawn when Suki came barreling into her bedroom wearing oversized men's flannel pajama pants and with a white tank top. "Time to rise and shine!" she called as she threw the blankets off the bed. "AHHHHHH!!!" Suki screamed backing away from the bed running into Kagome's closet, which unfortunately for her was open so she ended up falling into a large pile of clothes. "What? What?! I'm up I'm up!" Kagome cried quickly jumping from the bed. Her right foot got tangled in the sheets and she fell to the ground with a bang. The bang was what finally awoke Inuyasha from his sleep. He slowly opened his eyes, then opened his mouth in a wide yawn. The male hanyou looked around for his sleeping companion, whom he found on the floor beside the bed. "What are you doing down there?" "Watching the sun rise, what do you think?" Kagome spat at him trying to untangle herself from the bed sheets. Inuyasha cracked a sleepy grin, "I thought your brain died again or something." "SIT BOY!" "OI!"
"Oww my head, what do you keep in here?" the two hanyous heard Suki mumble from deep in the confines of Kagome's closet. "Hey, you still have your old tap shoes?" she asked as she stumbled out of the closet to see Kagome lying on the floor in short shorts and a black tank top, and Inuyasha looking down at her wearing nothing but a pair of boxers. "AHHHHH!" she screamed as she covered her eyes and tried to step backwards, but ended up tripping on a stray pair of jeans and in result fell on her butt. "What are you screaming about woman?" Inuyasha yelled at her. "Maybe it's the fact that I'm seeing my cousin's fiancé half dressed lying in her bed!" she screamed back at him as she stood up rubbing her hurting bum. "What?" Kagome looked up at Inuyasha on the bed and her eyes went wide. She quickly threw the sheets from the floor up on top of him. "Uhhh sorry about that Suki," Kagome said blushing as she rose to her feet. Suki just shook her head as she walked out of the bedroom, "Next time I'm just setting your alarm clock. Now get dressed already. I'm going to go ask Ji-chan if he has any daggers or a sword I can borrow. If we're going dress shopping today we need to get Sango."
"What happened to you?" Shippo asked as he watched Miroku rinse his face with a wet cloth. "Did you say something perverted to Sango again?" the inquisitive kitsune asked as he splashed a hand around in the wooden bucket filled with water. "Be quiet and go see if Kouga's coming yet or not," Miroku ordered the kitsune. "Unless you don't want me to tell where Kagome left the pokey for you." Shippo's eyes went wide at the lecherous monk's words, "POKEY!" And with that the young kitsune went running off to see if the Ookami was going to arrive.
Once Miroku cleaned the dirt from his face, he turned and headed towards the edge of the village. 'Sango shouldn't have stormed off by herself. She didn't even take any weapons with her,' he thought as he looked out towards the forest edge. Kouga was to arrive shortly, but the mood he could be in worried the young monk. Even without the power of the sacred jewel, Kouga was still a formidable foe. They needed to be on their toes if they were going to get Kouga's assistance.
Yet Sango's words still plagued his mind, "Are you sure Inuyasha even wants to have a home in the village?" 'What if she's right?' Miroku thought as he took a seat in the shade of a large oak tree. 'As a child Inuyasha had been shunned by villagers, maybe he would fear the same for his children?' He sat there for a few moments just listening to the birds chirp in the trees. A soft breeze blew across him causing his hair to become disheveled. 'Perhaps calling Kouga to the village wasn't such a good idea. The last time we met with him wasn't under the best circumstances. With Kagome not here to calm him some, who knows what Kouga and his pack will do to the village,' Miroku thought looking up at the soft blue sky. 'Last time we saw the Ookami Kagome refused him, and took his jewel shards. If he's angry at all about it, what is there to stop him from taking his anger out on Sango or me? Or even the village?'
