I'm Still Here Chapter 8:The Happiest Day Of Her Life?
Disclaimer: I don't own Inu-Yasha.
Inu-Yasha looked back at Kagome with no emotion in his eyes. Kagome took a deep breath. Did she really want to do this? Did she want it to be this way?
"Inu-Yasha you need to go. Go back to your own time. I'm getting married in 2 days to the man I love and I don't want to be thinking about you the whole time. " she said tears forming in her eyes.
Inu-Yasha just stood there keeping his eyes locked with Kagome's. Kagome saw hurt in his eyes for a moment but then it turned to anger. He jumped up and over to the well. Before opening the door he looked back at her once more and then went in.
What had she done? Now she would never see him again. Was it the right thing to do? Yes, it was, her wedding day is the happiest day of her life. If Kagome wanted to be happy she would have to forget about Inu-Yasha.
That night Kagome sat on her bed trying to forget about what happened just a few hours before. But she found this very hard.
"Hey Kagome!" said Sota as he walked in.
"Hi."Kagome said quietly
"Are you okay?"Sota asked sitting down next to his sister.
"No, not really." she replied.
"But tomorrow your getting married! How could you not be happy?"
Kagome just hug her head.
"It's Inu-Yasha isn't it?"
"I told him to go back to his own time so I could get married in peace. And now I'm trying to forget him, but I can't." Kagome said looking out the window
"I don't think you'll ever be able to forget him completly. He was your friend Kagome and you can't forget that,"Sota said standing up,"Try and think of other things like...um...Hojo."
"Thanks Sota." Kagome said.
"No problem." Sota replied as he left the room.
So Kagome took her brother's advice and thought about Hojo and the wedding. Soon she was able to fall asleep.
The next morning Kagome awoke to the sound of her name. She opened her eyes and saw her mother with a big smile on her face.
"Time to get up Kagome it's your special day!"
Kagome sat hugged her mother and then started running around the room trying to find clothes. Then she ran out to the bathroom and took a shower. She was so excited she didn't know what to do with herself. She was so excited she forgot all about Inu-Yasha.
A few hours later Kagome was getting on her dress, fixing her hair, and putting on make-up with the help of her friends.
"Kagome you look beautiful!" said Ayumi.
"You three look really good to."Kagome replied.
"Maybe, but when we're standing next to you no one will notice us!"Yuka said with a laugh.
"I agree with Yuka."Eri said.
For the next ten minutes the girls talked and put on the last of their make-up.
"Wow, look at the time! We better get going!"Eri said looking at the clock.
The girls arrived at the church and went into the front lobby. All the guests were inside all but Kagome's mother and grandpa.
"Oh Kagome you look beautiful!"her mother said tears forming in her eyes.
"Mom don't cry."Kagome said hugging her mother.
"You're right this is a happy day.No tears," her mother said and gave her a kiss on the cheek,"I love you Kagome."
"I love you too mom."Kagome said as her mother walked into the church to take her seat.
"You ready Kagome?"Her grandpa asked.He was going to walk her down the isle.
"Yes I think so."
Everyone took there places and the music started to play. As Kagome walked she looked around at all the people.She didn't think she knew so many! That was when it hit her. Some people were missing. Her friends from the Feudal Era. She wished they could be here even if there was no one else there, just having them would be fine. And what about Inu-Yasha. Now Kagome regreted telling him to go away.
Her thoughts were cut off when she felt her grandpa let go of her arm. She looked over in the other direction to see Hojo looking very handsome. She saw her mother in the front row of chairs she was smiling but there were tears running down her face. Everyone else looked excited.Eri,Ayumi and Yuka had the biggest smiles on there faces and Eri gave Kagome a thums-up.
Hojo took her hand and they both faced the front. Everything went well until the 'I do's'.
She heard Hojo saying I do happily and she knew it was her turn. She heard the priest ask the same question but it seemed far and distant.She was sure what to do anymore did she really want to marry Hojo?
Kagome began lookng around the church as if the answer was hidden on the stone walls. That was when she saw it.A shape,a shadow, no a preson standing on the other side of one of the stain glass windows. Kagome knew who it was.
She felt a tug on her hand. She turned back to Hojo the priest repeted the question.
"I...I um...I..."
