Chapter Fifteen

Inu Yasha screamed. He had opened his eyes while Yomi was dressing him with the ceremonial dress he was to wear. It still stings him knowing that in just a few hours he would be marrying Kouga.

"Sister Kagome, what is the matter?" Yomi said stepping away from the screaming figure before her. She smiled. "Do you like the dress that much?"

Inu Yasha gazed down at himself. He had not seen a thing. All he saw was Kagome's body modeling the wolf demon tribe's wedding dress, quite well he may add.

He shook his head.

'I didn't see anything...' he though sadly.

'See...you did want to see something,' the other him said with a snicker.

'Feh...'

Yomi smiled as she stepped forward towards Inu Yasha. "Sister Kagome, you look wonderful. A perfect bride for our leader, Kouga."

Inu Yasha flinched. "Perfect bride..."

"Please sister, remain here until the preparations are completed. I shall return for you when everything is ready." Yomi bowed before making her exit.

Inu Yasha took a step forward in an attempt to reach out for her, but then recoiled knowing it would be useless to try to convince her to get him out of there. He took a few more steps deeper in the room.

"Perfect bride..." he echoed and looked down at himself. His eyes immediately landed on Kagome's bosom. He blushed before turning away which took a bit longer than one would expect.

Inu Yasha looked at the doorway founding the closed door. Actually it was just a piece of cloth draped over the doorway's corners but Inu Yasha knew is he dared step outside, he would be swarmed with wolf demons.

"AAHHHH!" Inu Yasha yelled. "How am I gonna get out of this?" He then fell to the floor and sat there. "Kagome, where are you?" he sniffed.

--------

Kouga was running through the woods but all that could be seen was a small tornado crushing anything in its way. He was alone but knew he wouldn't be for long. He smiled to himself.

'Finally, after all this time. Kagome will finally be mine! I won mutt face!'

"Kouga!"

He looked up to see the figure before him. It was a female wolf demon of his tribe. She was running up to him, waving to him.

"Yomi?" Kouga halted. "What are you doing here?"

She smiled at her leader. "It is all ready. The ceremonial preparations are complete, the tribal grounds have been properly decorated, and you soon to be mate bears the proper attire. Come back to the grounds so we can get started."

"That's great, Yomi," Kouga replied. "But I still need-"

"Do not worry about that," Yomi said, walking up to her leader. "It is taken care of. I personally sent the message...with Ginta and Hakkaku."

Kouga laughed. "No wonder I haven't seen them around. And probably won't for a while longer..."

"Please do not worry about that. Now come!" Yomi began to push Kouga from behind towards their den.

"Hey-"

"We must hurry! Sunset almost comes!"

Kouga grinned. "Just try to keep up!"

"Huh?" Yomi blinked but it was at that exact moment that Kouga left her in his tornado-speed run, whirling her blue hair into a tornado of its own.

"Huh-Hey! Kouga!" she yelled running after him. "Wait for me! Kouga!"

She sighed. "I had forgotten about his lightning speed...Kouga!"

-------

"Huh?" Kagome's head snapped up.

"What is it, Kagome?" Shippo asked from her shoulder.

She turned towards the ball of fur and smiled. "Nothing, really."

Shippo pouted. "Come on Kagome, if something is wrong you should say so now!"

"Nothing is wrong." she shook her head. "I'm just glad that we're going to where Inu Yasha is."

"I'm pretty sure that he is going to be glad to see you too, Kagome," Sango joined in, turning her head towards her friend.

"Hmm..." Miroku placed his hand on his chin.

Sango turned towards him. "What is it?"

"I was thinking...since this is a ceremonial matrimony and we are all here..."

"I don't like where you are going with this..."

Miroku placed his hands over Sango's. "Will you marry me as well, Sango?"

"WHAT!"

Shippo sighed. "Here we go again..."

"Please say you will, Sango," Miroku pleaded.

Sango pulled her hands away. "You're asking me to marry you...You expect us to marry in this...condition! It's like marrying yourself!"

"Well...once we switch our souls back...Then will you marry me?"

Sango slapped him across the face. "You're hopeless."

"Come on you guys..." Kagome said, trying to restore the order.

Hojake, who was walking in front of them, sighed as he heard what was going on behind him. 'They are interesting and fun to watch. I have to give my sister credit, she finally found some solid entertainment. But still...'

He looked around and to his surprise noticed he had arrived to his destination. He had to tap into his host's knowledge of where the room where Inu Yasha was being held was since the whole place itself was crawling with wolf demon tribe scent. Detecting Kagome's body scent with the primitive nose he had (compared to his in his own body) would be almost impossible.

Hojake turned towards the group behind him. "I'd hate to interrupt but-" he stopped himself at the sight he saw before him.

Kagome was in the middle of Sango and Miroku, holding back Sango at arms length from a cowering Miroku who hid behind Kagome. Shippo was bouncing up and down yelling, "I told you not to do it!" at Miroku.

"Umm..." Hojake heard a purr and looked down to his right. By his feet sat Kirara with her own quizzical look aimed at the group in front of her. Hojake sighed. "You too, huh?"

He looked back at Kagome and the rest. "Excuse me!" he yelled.

"I told you not to do it!"

"Hey!"

"See, that's what you get!"

Hojake took a deep breath.

"Oh, look Kagome, we're here!" Shippo ceased his bouncing. Everyone else turned towards Hojake.

"Why are you holding your breath?" Shippo asked.

Hojake let his intake of air escape slowly. "Yes, we are here. Just down this hallway to our left is the room, behind the draped cloth. Please follow me."

The group did as told but would have stopped and looked around if they had heard the laughing that was coming from Hokaje.

"Ha! Nice one, Brother you really have them under control!"

Hojake sent his sister a mental blast. 'Shut up!'

It did not cease her laughing.

"Well, here we are," Hojake said, ignoring his sister that was still floating above them. He pulled the drape aside and let Kagome and the rest step inside.

They soon came out.

"It's empty," Kagome said.

---------

"WHAT! MARRIED! WHAT DO YOU MEAN MARRIED!"

Ginta and Hakkaku cowered in fear from the figure before them. "Don't get mad at us, Ayame. We only delivered the message. There's nothing we can do about it," Ginta tied to explain.

"Yeah," Hakkaku gulped. "Don't kill the messengers."

Ayame balled her hands into fists. "Don't worry, you're not the one I'm going to kill."
