Chapter 10: Final Moment...Final Chapter
Relatives and friends stood up and looked behind them. Kagome stood at the end of the aisle and then she began to walk up to the podium. The wedding song in the background sounded like nothing but a whisper to her. She just figured it was just her lack of concentration. Her eyes were locked on the podium, the priest, and Sukii. She continued forward until she got to her destination and then the music stopped. Kagome turned to Sukii and he turned to her as well. The priest opened up his book and began. The ceremony started and Kagome hadn't turned back. Inuyasha came downstairs and walked out of the rented house. He sat in the back row and watched Kagome stand up there with the priest and Sukii. He looked over to her mother and she was staring right at him with a disappointed expression. What was he to do? He doesn't know how this works. He couldn't reject because he knows Kagome would kill him and he didn't want her to be unhappy. She made her decision and all he could do was say his last good-byes to her. Before he didn't get to talk with her but after the wedding he would like to have another couple of minutes to talk it over with her.
"Today I take these two persons to be wedded in matrimony" The priest announced.
"Well this is it" Kagome softly spoke to Sukii and for him to only hear.
"Yes" He said and nodded a little.
"Let's begin" the priest said and began to read the book.
Skipping through all the stuff I don't know...-
"Sukii Tabashimochi do you take Kagome Higurashi as your lofty wedded wife and to cherish, to love during sickness and health till the day you apart?" The priest asked. (I'm not entirely know how to say it so just bare with me for this)
"I do" Sukii said as he smiled at Kagome.
She faked smiled at him and once he turned away, she looked out into the audience of relatives and friends, to see Inuyasha watching. She gave out a small gasp and glimpse of Inuyasha came into her mind. Then his voice began to haunt her and she shut her eyes tight but when she opened them she saw Inuyasha in Sukii's place but when she winked again, Sukii was standing there. Out of no where Kagome heard Inuyasha say I love you in her thoughts and then she smiled bright. She longed for him to say that and he finally did but when she heard it at last, she turned him away. The priest was talking to Kagome but she tuned him out and Sukii called Kagome's name about a million times but she still couldn't here him. Kagome was still thinking about and then the hatred of what Inuyasha did to her came into mind. Her heart began to ache and then the fact Sukii came into her life began to come into thought. She knew what she had to do so she finally came out of her trance.
"I'm sorry what?" Kagome asked as she smiled.
"I'll repeat myself then" The priest said. "Do you Kagome Higurashi take Sukii Tabashimochi as your lofty wedded husband and to cherish, to love during sickness and health till the day you apart?" The priest asked.
"I...I..." Kagome stuttered.
"What is she doing!" Tsuyashi murmured to her daughter.
"I don't know" Mrs. Higurashi replied.
"Kagome?" Sukii asked.
"What the hell is she doing? Isn't she suppose to say I do?" Inuyasha asked the person next to him.
Inuyasha began to pulse for some reason. Inuyasha was startled, while no one was watching him, he turned into a human. Back in the Feudal Era, it was night time and it was the night of the lunar month. He watched as his nails shortened, hair blackened, and feel his fangs disappear. He got up and began to walk away from the wedding until he was stopped by shock.
"I don't!" Kagome replied.
"WHAT! NO!" Tsuyashi stood up.
"What?" Sukii didn't understand.
"I'm sorry but I don't want to marry you Sukii" Kagome said and then ran towards Inuyasha.
Inuyasha turned around and saw Kagome running to him. Her arms ready to hug him, she had a big smile on and tears of joy ran down her face. She finally got to him and tripped into his arms. Everyone turned to the back and watch the two in the aisle. Mrs. Higurashi smiled and Tsuyashi was furious. Sota smiled as well and looked up at his mother to see she had the same expression on. Sukii was all upset and angry at the same time. In the past two months he was very fond of Kagome and he didn't want to lose her so her walked down the aisle and grabbed Kagome's arm.
"Kagome we are going to get married" Sukii began to walk away with the resisting bride.
"Let her go!" Inuyasha threatened.
"I said I don't want to marry you so let me go" Kagome yanked her arm free.
"But I thought you love me. I don't understand and why be with the guy who breaks your heart so much?" Sukii did have a point but not strong enough to convince Kagome.
"He may break my heart but I still LOVE him and he loves me" Kagome ran back to Inuyasha and hugged him tight.
"What can he possibly offer you? He fights demons! He's not even human!" Sukii blurted out.
Everyone began to laugh besides Inuyasha, Kagome, Sota, Gramps, and Mrs. Higurashi. Then they began to laugh with so that it would make Sukii look bad.
"Are you on drugs boy?" One of Kagome's relatives asked.
"NO! It's TRUE!" Sukii shouted and stormed off.
"Kagome are you out of your mind" Tsuyashi walked up to Kagome and Inuyasha.
"No...I'm just listening to my heart" Kagome said and kissed Inuyasha on the lips.
"I spent all this money for nothing! Some has to get wedded" Tsuyashi exclaimed.
"That can be arranged" Inuyasha said.
Inuyasha and Kagome walked down the aisle to the alter. The priest went back to the beginning and began to read once the couple got into their places in front of the podium. Tsuyashi was speechless but was convinced by her daughter that Kagome will be most happy. The priest read on and then the wedded parts came up.
"Do you?" The priest looked at Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha" The human Inuyasha replied.
"Very well then; Do you Inuyasha take Kagome as your wedded wife to cherish, to love through sickness and health till the day you apart?" The priest asked.
"I do" Inuyasha answered and smiled at Kagome.
"And do you Kagome take Inuyasha as your wedded husband to cherish, to love through sickness and in health till the day you apart?" The priest asked.
"I do" Kagome replied.
"Is there any one who doesn't want these two to get married. Please speak out or forever hold your peace?" The priest looked out into the audience and not a single word (s) where spoken. "Where are the rings?" that was Sota's Q.
"I have the rings!" Sota came up and hand each of them a ring.
Inuyasha slipped the ring he was given onto Kagome's ring finger and then she did the same.
"I now pronounce you husband and wife! You now may kiss the bride!" The priest finally said.
Inuyasha kissed Kagome and everyone cheered. Sukii's parents and relatives had left and the Higurashi family were the only family there. Sota ran up to Inuyasha and hugged him. Mrs. Higurashi walked up to her daughter and hugged her. Kagome threw up the bouquet and one of her friends, Yuki, caught the flowers. Ayumi and Eri surrounded Yuki and they giggled. Tsuyashi was still seated and was still a little furious that she didn't have Kagome marry Sukii.
"Welcome to the family Inuyasha" Mrs. Higurashi hugged Inuyasha.
"Thanks" Inuyasha replied and winked at Kagome.
"Does this mean Inuyasha is my brother in law?" Sota asked.
"Yes indeed" Gramps replied as he made his way towards them.
"COOL!" Sota was so happy.
"Congratulations Kagome and Inuyasha" Gramps said and handed them some sacred items wrapped in a basket.
"Oh thanks" Kagome and Inuyasha said at the same time.
"Grandmother Tsuyashi...I'm sorry the arranged marriage didn't go through but you can't make someone marry another" Kagome sat next to Tsuyashi.
"I know but it was just a silly tradition that I just happened to carry out" Tsuyashi smiled and hugged Kagome tight. "As long as your happy, I'm happy"
"Where you going for your honeymoon?" Sota asked Inuyasha.
"Honeymoon?" Inuyasha didn't have the slightest clue what that meant.
"Yea it's when newly weds go somewhere alone for a vacation" Sota explained.
"I don't know" Inuyasha replied and walked over to Kagome and Tsuyashi.
"Now I want my daughter to have as many grandchildren like I have Sota and Kagome" Tsuyashi told Inuyasha.
"Children?" Inuyasha and Kagome wasn't thinking that far yet.
"Let's not think that far ahead" Kagome put on a fake smile.
"Um where we going on this honeymoon thing Sota told me" Inuyasha asked Kagome.
"Maybe when we hit our twenties we will go on a honeymoon. I just want to spend some time in the Feudal Era. Sango, Miroku, Shippou and Kaede must be missing us" Kagome stood up and walked away with her husband.
"Then we best be going then" Inuyasha replied and they left for the Higurashi shrine.
Everyone left and had a piece of wedding cake with them. Mrs. Higurashi drove, Gramps called shotgun, Sota and Tsuyashi sat in the back, and Inuyasha and Kagome sat in the middle. Kagome's mother owned a van so everyone fit in the car. Once they got home, Kagome changed into shorts and a t-shirt. Inuyasha grabbed her packed big yellow bag that she always brought and their mother packed them some left over cake for their friends in Feudal Japan. Kagome came downstairs and kissed everyone good-bye and the newly weds headed for the Bone Eaters Well. They jumped into the well and disappeared beyond the darkness it had. Few minutes past and they arrived at the other end of the well. Inuyasha had to climb up, since he didn't have his demonic powers at the moment. Kagome got out and they headed for Kaede's hut in the village. They arrived and Kagome was the first one to enter the hut and next was Inuyasha.
"KAGOME!" all four shouted.
"Hey guys" Kagome waved.
"Fine don't say hello to me" Inuyasha pouted.
"Kagome how come you came back?" Shippou jumped up on her shoulder.
"Because I love my husband" Kagome giggled as she said it.
"Husband" everyone was stunned.
"Inuyasha and me got married!" Kagome held hands with Inuyasha.
"I'm so happy for you Kagome" Sango stood up and hugged Kagome.
"How sweet" Miroku said and then sipped his tea.
"Congrates you two" Kaede smiled.
"How weird" Shippou said as he jumped off and returned to his spot.
"Nope" Kagome disagreed.
"It's not weird" Inuyasha said and kissed Kagome.
THE END!
