Disclaimer: Don't own Inuyasha! Although I would very much like to own Sesshomaru nad …(purr).
Kagome and Inuyasha didn't talk for most of the week in which the wedding is planned. Winter had gone just as sudden as it had come with its howling winds and blistering snow and it's now spring, with flowers blooming everywhere, including in the church where Kagome's wedding will take place.
"Sango, can I have another batch of flowers here please?" Kagome shouted across the large church hall. Her friend replied by flinging a batch of roses towards her. Kagome barely caught it. "Thanks!"
Kagome and her friends gathered to decorate Kagome's wedding hall and every other little detailed thing that is going to be in her wedding. They were going smoothly so far, until Ayume accidentally spilled several pots of dirt and flower bush that Kagome was going to put at the entrance of the church. Yumi and Sango managed to get the dirt out of the carpet, or the priest of the place is definitely going to be displeased.
Miroku has been invited to do the honors as the priest that is going to wed Koga and Kagome (I forgot what those priests were called, gomene!). Inuyasha is invited to be the best man, Sango the bride's maid and all the others as the remaining people. Koga's best friend, Ayame, to Kagome's disapproval, is going to be the flower girl.
"Ayume, be careful when you move those heavy pots! Don't drop them!" Yumi warned as she put up a chain of flowers.
"Hai." Ayumi replied grimly. The girl indeed struggled with the pot and was about to drop it if it wasn't for Miroku, dropping by to check on the girls, who caught it.
"Whoa, you better watch out!" Miroku smiled nicely at the blushed girl.
Ayume was suddenly shy and speechless and blushing hard, which got Sango glaring daggers at her. Miroku seemed to seize this opportunity to hold up her hand.
"Since you seem to like me so, why not bare a child for me huh?" Miroku asked slyly.
SMACK!
A loud sound was heard from Sango, suddenly behind the man, smacking the back of his head with amazing strength.
"Sango, why did you do so?" The perverted man asked innocently, rubbing the back of his head furiously.
"I have no tolerance with perverts." Sango said and then went back to decorating the church.
Miroku shook his head hopelessly then helped Ayumi move the pot to its designated spot by the double door entrance. Sango refused to speak with the man for the rest of the time he was there. The work of decoration was done in complete silence until Inuyasha came to check on Miroku.
"Eh, Miroku, hope you have been behaving during the past few hours." Inuyasha teased. Miroku smiled weirdly and nodded. Sango sighed loudly and got down from the tall ladder she was on.
"Well Inuyasha, if I were you, I definitely wouldn't believe this jerk's word about behaving." Sango said sternly. She gave Inuyasha a short smile before helping Kagome decorate some benches with flowers.
Inuyasha watched Kagome silently with Miroku staring at him. He didn't notice that his friend was still standing by him until Miroku cleared his throat.
"What?" Inuyasha asked.
"If you think she's…well…fine, then why don't you just go tell her?" Miroku asked. "It's not like you're really gay or something."
"And what do you know about my not gayness?" Inuyasha pressed on.
"I think you did forget what you told me when you got drunk at the bar."
"Baka, that was over three years ago!" Inuyasha retorted.
"It is over three years ago, yes, but it remains true, am I not right?" Miroku spoke in a serious tone.
Inuyasha looked taken back. What did this man know that he doesn't? How can Miroku still remember what he said three years ago?
"Look, I have no idea what your playing at but I am just as gay as any gay person!" Inuyasha retorted. Miroku laughed.
"Well, if you're gay, then I'd marry Sango." Miroku said sarcastically. Sango glared at him again with a look so cold it could have frozen hell. The man gulped but recovered quickly.
"What the hell are you talking about?" the lawyer questioned, getting very impatient.
"Inuyasha, are you going to help with the decorations or not?" Kagome finally inquired, looking very pissed off.
Inuyasha nodded and dragged him self over to Kagome to help her with putting up a banner that said "Congrats to Kagome and Koga!".
"Awww, aren't they a cute couple?" Miroku teased as he went to help Sango.
"It's a wonder why they aren't the ones getting married." Sango joked, getting a disapproving look from Kagome.
"Whatever, Sango. You know as well as I that Inuyasha is gay." Kagome rolled her eyes.
"Oh c'mon, don't tell me that after like three years of living with that man you don't even think he's cute?" Sango pressed on, laughing like a maniac.
"NO! Definitely not!" Kagome said and a deep blush crept onto her already pink cheek.
Miroku laughed at Kagome trying to defend her self but all trying in vain. "Who are you trying to hide your feelings from, Kags?"
"Kags?" Everyone stared at Miroku confused.
"Kagome's nickname, I made it up." The man explained. Everyone nodded and turned their attention back to Kagome.
"People? For god's sake I'm getting married!" She screamed, blushing crimson.
"That's why we're teasing you! And when Sango and I get married, you will be making Sango jealous as well!" Miroku said in a very proud tone.
"Get married?" Sango glared at the man, clearly about to do some violent things. "Since when are we getting married?"
Everyone turned away from the fight couple and went back to their work, not wanting to see the terrible fate that will befall poor Miroku.
"Oh please. Have some fun you guys." Miroku said in a cry for help as Sango walked closer to him, eerily calm. In fact, a little too calm.
Kagome winced as she heard a loud and crisp slap echo through the huge church. She gave a glace at the man and saw a very red and fresh hand print on his face.
"Ouch." Inuyasha laughed.
"I agree." Everyone chirped, laughing.
