To my reviewers: Oh my gosh! I love you guys so much! You guys are the best. Now let me praise you!!! –starts singing- We are the champions, my friend, and we'll keep on fighting till the end!!!!

Ah yes I am done. Anyways I need someone to proof read the up coming chapters for me. Someone literate. Someone who knows how to spell.

And if the person I pick wants to be my proof reader for my other upcoming stories I'll let them. And you must be able to read your email at least once a week. I prefer if the proofreader is fifteen or older. ((Even though I'm 14, but hey))

And the F.A.Q for the last chapter was:

What does the baby's name mean?

Well my dear reviewing friends 'Chiisuchina' Pronounced 'Chee-ee-soo-chee-nah' not 'Chee-suh-chy-na' is actually from under the name translator thingy. Although the name translator is wrong because if you type in 'Cherry Blossom' we all know its 'Sakura' in Japanese but it comes up with something like 'Chika Biash' or something.

I typed in my name, Christina, and came up with the whole 'Chiisuchina' name. Which my Japanese translated for real is something like 'Crisanina' or something, which is my origin of my s/n. Crisa and then 'Rei' means soul. So you get Christina Soul or Soul Christina.

But yes the baby's name is my fake Japanese name. It doesn't really mean anything. Sorry.

And some of your reviews are really confusing…I was so lost and confused with what some of you guys were trying to say. Like for instance: I know! I know what it is!

What is what?! Gee remind me please I'm a very VERY forgetful person so instead of putting 'it' or 'thing' please insert the actually object.

And you can keep using that chat lingo but it's confusing too. I don't know what this means: Aw m.g! s asome! I luved it! Can u put me in ther 2? I wanna be in ur stry! I luv u so muh! Pleez respund 2 me so I cn be ur frend and no wen the stry is cmin ! Byeeeee!!!

I had a hard time writing that but those reviews really get me wondering if you're flaming me, hailing me, honoring me or just plain insulting me.

So remember my friends, Think before you type. I don't care if you abbreviate…and I know I shouldn't be so picky about the reviews but I do want to understand them.

Sesshoumaru leaned back in his chair. A month. That was how long it had been since InuYasha had that baby incident. He closed his eyes. And a month's worth of planning too and they still hadn't finished.

Of course he could just hire someone to do it for him and everything would turn out fine, but Rashi insisted on doing this themselves with close friends and family.

He didn't understand why women were so obsessed with making things like proms, dances, and weddings so expensive, so elaborate and so perfect. He wasn't fussing over the money. He had plenty enough to fling around for Rashi's sake. Rashi said she would try to keep a low budget, but he wasn't worried about the money. He didn't give a rat's ass what she did with the money so long it wasn't something he didn't approve of.

All he cared about was her happiness and how long they could keep being together without either of them getting sick of each other. Sesshoumaru highly doubted that he could ever stop loving Rashi.

He opened his eyes and looked at the white ceiling. He had seen divorces between two people who thought they could always be together and he was having his doubts on love, but Rashi washed those doubts away with her smile and love. Sesshoumaru plainly didn't see any hope in life and knew that he was a cold person at times.

In fact before he even met Rin, Kagura and Rashi he was a cold person. He was a strong lawyer. A merciless governor that could pass by children crying on the streets and women being abused.

That was how he met Kagura. He was a powerful person and she was the powerful woman that everyone talked about. He had found her at a party, her boyfriend slapping her and no one doing a thing about it. Sesshoumaru became absorbed in her beauty and walked up to her boyfriend and grabbed him by the throat and chucked him out the window.

He became infatuated with Kagura, deeply infatuated. She did as well, he assumed. After a few months of dating he proposed and she accepted. He learned to love Kanna, her daughter.

Then Rin came. He spotted Rin on the street side, selling hand-sewn dolls she had made. Rin had made friends with Kanna because everyday Kanna would pass Rin on her way to school and then Kanna brought her home. Rin obeyed both Kagura and himself, but she had attached herself to Sesshoumaru.

At first he found it rather annoying, but didn't do anything about it and then she grew on him and he learned to care for her.

Then the wedding dress shop changed his life. He entered with Kagura so she could pick out a wedding dress. Rashi was happily playing with Rin and Kanna and Kagura befriended her.

They became friends and he saw her a lot at the house, but after the wedding they lost touch and some how Rashi managed to come back into his life by being InuYasha's friend. Kagura was delighted to see Rashi again because every time Kagura went back to Rashi's shop, Rashi was just the owner, she didn't work there anymore.

Rashi's had became a big business and all Rashi had to do was manage the money and employees. He took notice of Rashi and Rashi had been there for him ever since Kagura and him got in fights. That's when he fell in love with her. That's when he knew he loved her and was not just reminded of Rin.

Rashi was her own person. A cheerful, ass kicking girl who could take care of herself. She was the kind of person anyone could and would trust. She was all he needed to complete his heart.

"Sesshoumaru-kun?"

Sesshoumaru was brought away from his thoughts and his eyes met Rash's face. "Yes Rashi?"

"I finished my second volume," she smiled brightly. "I wanted you to read it." She walked up to him in her long blue skirt and white tank top. Rashi placed the pink manga on his desk and he glanced at. He had been secretly wishing she would hurry up with second because he had read the first.

The first one had made him laugh so loud that Rin was getting scared. It was funny to see InuYasha with the normal, clean-cut haircut every good boy had. He had the same bastard attitude and everything had been unreal.

He took it and opened it up to the new characters introduced. His eye twitched. "Mr. Hanshu Fluffy? Ginshu's half brother who is a big entrepreneur?"

"I told you Ginshu is InuYasha and you're Hanshu," she smiled. "You carry a fluffy pink briefcase."

"You make me sound like I'm gay," Sesshoumaru said as he turned the page to look at what his manga self looked like. He had the same hair. The same eyes. But his hair color was blue.

"Blue hair?"

"It suits you," Rashi replied. "Oh and Kagome finally had the Florist order four hundred roses for the wedding."

"I see," he half muttered as he was already caught up in the manga.

"Oh!" Rashi plucked the mange from his grip, "And my editor said that if the second volume is a hit they'll make it an anime!"

He looked at her. "That's wonderful, Rashi."

She smiled. "But it means I need to hire a lot of artists. And you know I have a paranoia about that."

"I know," he sighed, "the manga is practically your baby. It's your creation and no one else's."

"Exactly," she said. "I can't possibly make the anime and manga at the same time."

"You want me to find some really good artists, don't you?"

"Could you?"

Sesshoumaru set down the manga. "Yes, Rashi, I will."

Rashi smiled. "Great!" She leaned over and kissed him. "I trust you."

"I know," he replied.

Kagome was exhausted and became more exhausted when the baby started to cry and scream again. She groaned, as there was no volunteer voice from InuYasha. She had forgotten he went back to work again. Shippo was at school and she, all alone, at the large house.

Kagome pushed herself up from the couch and made her way up the stairs and into the baby's beautifully decorated room. InuYasha planned the baby's room just as she told him a long time ago.

She looked in the white crib at her little girl crying. "Hush now," she said soothingly and Chiisuchina stopped crying and blinked and looked up at Kagome. Kagome smiled and picked her up. "Is my little star hungry? Or just cranky?"

Kagome waited, half-expecting a baby voice answering her question. When no reply came she simply said, "Well, we will just have to find out, now won't we?"

She walked down the stairs and gently sat down. Kagome kissed Chiisuchina's forehead and the baby began to cry slightly. "All right, I know, I know, you're hungry." She pulled up her shirt a bit.

Miroku was babysitting while Sango was working at the ranch, training horses. Kohaku was chasing Shippo and Shippo had turned into the pink balloon thing, bopping around.

Miroku watched, being slightly amused by the scene playing before him.

"Come back here Pinky!" Kohaku yelled as he jumped over a couch.

Shippo bopped in protest as he hit the ceiling. "You'll never take me alive!!!"

"Hey, boys, calm down," Miroku instructed as Shippo knocked over a plastic figurine and Kohaku ran into the cabinets. "Or you'll end up breaking the house down."

"Awww!" both boys groaned as they set their weapons down, which was a broom for Kohaku and a Nerf gun for Shippo.

"Go outside and play if you want to rough house," Miroku said.

"You're never any fun anymore," Shippo complained.

"It's called growing up," Kohaku muttered. "Someone has to do it around here. He's boring now."

Miroku's eye twitched. "Boring am I?" He stood from the couch. "Why I am the epitome of fun."

"Says who?" Shippo asked, with a slight smile on his face.

"Says me!" Miroku started to chase them both, forcing them out of the house. Miroku chased them around the backyard and slipped and fell into the pool.

Kohaku and Shippo burst into a mad fit laughter as Miroku looked rather wet as he dragged himself out of the cold water. "You're right!" Kohaku laughed. "You're the epitome of fun…ny!"

"Ha ha ha, hardy har har," Miroku said sarcastically.

A week later….

Rashi was sitting before a large mirror.

"Rashi!" Kagome gasped, "You look absolutely beautiful!"

Rashi gazed into the mirror at herself. A large wedding veil was hanging over her eyes as white carnations decorated her thick dark curls. A simple diamond necklaces hung from a fine golden chain. Diamond earrings hung from her earlobes and her dress was pearl white.

It was layered. The thickest and longest layer was part of the train and was underneath the thin layer of silk which was underneath the thin layer of white lace. The back of the dress was low cut in a 'U' shape. The front cut was lined with sparkles. It was a halter top.

Rashi twirled around and the dress followed like water. The train wrapped around her and unfolded neatly behind her when she stopped.

Rashi smiled brightly at Kagome. "I love this dress!"

"You should, you designed it," Kagome smiled.

"I also designed your dress. I'm proud of my work," Rashi replied. "It's satisfying to know that you got to make your own wedding dress and you know that every stitch means its while."

Kagome looked in the full length mirror and smiled. Her hair was put up in two buns on top of her head. Small rode roses decorated the outside of the buns. Her dress was long and red, but it turned to a deeper crimson every time she moved. It would change from red to crimson.

A thin silk scarf was wrapped around her neck decoratively. Rubies dotted her throat and ears.

"I can tell this will be a wonderful wedding, Rashi," Kagome said as Sango entered.

Sango had the same red, long dress as Kagome. Her hair was let down and curled. One red rose was fitted just above her right ear. The scarf was neatly tied into place.

Sango smiled excitedly. "You are lucky, Rashi, to be marrying such a wealthy man."

"But it isn't about the money," Rashi replied. "It's about the man."

Kagome made a face teasingly. "Wish Sesshoumaru's brother acted like him."

The girls laughed.

"Mommy," Rin came, running in, her blue dress bouncing around. "Can you zip my dress up?"

"Of course," Rashi smiled and zipped it up for her.

"You look adorable Rin," Kagome smiled at her.

Rin wore a dark navy blue dress. It was the typical little girls' dress. Fluffy, puffy and frilly. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail and she was the flower girl. She had small, blue gloves on. Rin smiled up at Kagome, "Thanks!"

Kanna entered wearing a light pink dress. Kanna had flowers in her hair and no emotion on her face. "Rashi, we have twenty more minutes."

"I wonder how the guys are doing," Sango said.

000000000000000000000000

"Damn how do you get these things tied?!" InuYasha swore, trying to tie the red bowtie. "Can't we just have those clip ons?"

Miroku grinned as he successfully tied his. "If we had the clip ons people would think we don't give a flip for this wedding."

"We don't," InuYasha replied. "How the hell are you suppose to get this stupid thing on?"

Miroku looked at the thing InuYasha was holding up. "That is a cummerbund InuYasha. It goes around your waist." Miroku explained as he put his own on.

InuYasha glared at it. "Stupid thing. It's useless."

"Just put it on!" Miroku said.

Shippo bounded in, wearing the small light blue tuxedo. "How do I look?"

Miroku grinned at him. "Like a little stud."

Shippo smiled and jumped on InuYasha. "InuYasha, how do I look?"

InuYasha looked up at him on his head. "Get off or die." He was still trying to put the cummerbund on. He finally snapped it close and then buttoned his pants over it. He pulled on his jacket as Shippo jumped onto the ground.

"Kagome said to give me the ring," Shippo said to InuYasha.

InuYasha looked through his pockets. "Here it is," he pulled out. "This ring is a very important piece of jewelry Shippo. Take care of it."

"Yes Father!" Shippo said innocently as he tied it onto the small little pillow nicely. "Where's Sesshoumaru?"

"In the bathroom…" InuYasha said. "Probably getting drunk."

"Go and get him, InuYasha," Miroku said. "Before he drowns in the toilet or something."

00000000000000000000000

InuYasha entered the bathroom to see Sesshoumaru staring dimly at his reflection in the white tuxedo.

"Annoying things, tuxedoes," InuYasha was the first to make a comment. ((Yuck…tea is gross…)) He walked over to Sesshoumaru's side. "Ready to do this?"

Sesshoumaru looked at InuYasha. "I don't need confidence, Little Brother. Unlike you, I have been married before. I know how to go through this."

"Yeah and that's why you're staring at yourself in the mirror with a bottle of vodka in your hand," InuYasha took the vodka. "You can't get drunk on your wedding day. Rashi will notice and smack the crap outta you."

Sesshoumaru smiled and laughed. "She's the type of woman who'd actually do that," he nodded. "Yup…"

"You're having second thoughts?"

"No. None."

"Liar."

"I don't lie."

"You're afraid then, because you know Rashi is the one."

Sesshoumaru stayed silent as he glanced at his watch. "It's time. Let's go."

000000000000000000000000000

As Kohaku ushered the last guests in their seats the music began to start. He looked at the altar. Sesshoumaru was standing there, a serious look on his face. Kohaku grimaced. He needed to lighten up.

"You look beautiful Kagome," InuYasha whispered in Kagome's ear.

She smiled as he handed her the bouquet of roses. "Thank you InuYasha. You look rather dashing." She pecked him on the lips as the large, wooden doors opened up to the chapel.

InuYasha started to walk Kagome down the aisle, fantasizing about their wedding day. He hadn't even asked her to marry him yet, so why was he thinking about it.

Miroku finished his kiss with Sango after complimenting her numerous times on how she looked like a goddess. He led her down the aisle, following InuYasha.

After them came Rin, who was throwing glitter and flower petals everywhere. This caused Sesshoumaru to have a slight smile on his face. She was innocently throwing them in the benches, at people's faces and when she got to the altar there was lots of flowers in her basket still so she dumped them at Sesshoumaru's feet and grinned up at him.

Sesshoumaru smiled more at Rin and nodded. She went to stand beside Kagome and Sango, who was on right side of Sesshoumaru.

Then 'Here Comes the Bride' music started playing softly and sweetly.

Rashi stepped forth, moving slowly as Kanna carried her long train.

Shippo was stepping with the rhythm in front of Rashi, carrying the small silk pillow.

Rashi was trying her best to hold in her laughing, but she only made things worse as she snorted into her bouquet. 'Please,' she thought, 'just once let me stop laughing. Please!'

She closed her and calmed herself and the laughter died. She walked, hearing mutters of compliments and whispers of joy from the guests.

She stopped in front of the altar and opened her eyes, facing the priest who happened to be Mushin, the plastic surgeon.

Rashi felt Sesshoumaru's hands find hers and clasped them gently. She faced Sesshoumaru and looked into his golden eyes as Mushin started to talk.

"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here to unite two lovebirds, Kiba Sesshoumaru and Tsasami Rashi. Do you Sesshoumaru, take Tsasami Rashi, to be your beloved wife, to have and to hold, through sickness and in health, till death do you part as long as you both shall live?"

"I do."

"And do you, Tsasami Rashi, take Sesshoumaru, to be your beloved husband, to have and to hold, through sickness and in health, till death do you part, as long as you both shall live?"

"I…do…" she was laughing silently and Sesshoumaru squeezed her hands and she stopped laughing.

"Is there anyone in here who wishes them not to be married? Speak now or forever hold your peace!"

"…"

"May the ring bearer come up."

Shippo came up excitedly and presented the ring.

Sesshoumaru bent over and took the ring and then took Rashi's hand and slipped it on her finger.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride," Mushin stated.

Sesshoumaru lifted the veil and captured her lips in a seal.

00000000000000000000000000

Rashi had smashed the cake into Sesshoumaru face. She was laughing at the cake smeared Sesshoumaru.

Sesshoumaru looked at Rashi and she stopped laughing. "Oh no…" Rashi smiled. "Don't you dare-aggggghhh!" Sesshoumaru had shoved cake in her face.

Both were laughing and Rashi kissed his caked cheek.

Kagome clapped and cheered as everyone else did.

Shippo, Kohaku and Rin were hiding underneath the table. "I hate weddings," Kohaku muttered.

"Why?"

"You don't know what the married couple do after the wedding, do you? I mean, all they can do all day today, is think about their honeymoon."

"What's so bad about that?" Rin asked.

"They think about sex!"

Shippo blinked. "What's sex?"

Kohaku rolled his eyes.

"Oh oh! I know!" Rin said, as Souta crawled under the table with lots of snack food. "It's when Mom and Dad get together and produce a baby!"

Souta spewed all over the place. "Kohaku!" He looked at Kohaku.

"What?!"

"You're just as bad as Miroku! You're talking about sex!"

Kohaku smiled. "I know."

00000000000000000000000000

Kagome was dancing with InuYasha, who was complaining about how getting dressed was horrible.

"Well you should've came to the women's dressing room, I could have helped you get dressed," Kagome said as she laid her head on his shoulder.

"I'm not supposed to see you in your dress."

"That only applies to the bride," Kagome replied.

"Oh."

"Besides, Miroku did help, didn't he?"

"Sort of," InuYasha said.

00000000000000000000000000000

Sesshoumaru was muttering against Rashi's neck. "You looked so beautiful."

"Yeah but I was laughing," Rashi said.

"I know," Sesshoumaru said. "But you didn't laugh as much as I though you would have."

"I was controlling it," Rashi replied.

Sesshoumaru kissed her neck. "I love you."

Rashi smiled. "I love you too, Sesshoumaru. Now tell me where we're going on our honeymoon."

"All right," he said. "We're going to Mexico."

"Mexico?"

"The best of Mexico. Where the crystal blue oceans skim the white sand. We'll go on a cruise. The Santa Anna."

"Really?" Rashi's eyes were bowl shaped. "You're joking."

"No," Sesshoumaru replied.

"Oh my God!" Rashi squealed and hugged him. "I love you! I love you! I love you!"

Sesshoumaru smiled and pulled her close in his embrace and kissed her neck more in reply.

00000000000000000000000000000000000

Miroku was sitting at the table, talking with a couple of his friends. Sango was glowering at him angrily because he hadn't asked her to dance yet.

Miroku excused himself and went over to Sango. "Sango-chan, I know why you're angry with me."

"Oh?" she arched her brow bitterly.

"Will you dance with me Sango-chan," he kissed her hand and then kissed her lips.

Sango smiled. "Yes."

They were on the floor with their best friends. This was how life should be. Among your friends.

000000000000000000000000000000000000

Crisa Rei: I was planning on this being a little longer because I was going to put the honeymoon in this one, but then I thought, no, you already switched to a week after, don't switch to a different scene again too fast. So until next chapter. See ya
