LadyKagome215: Hey Everyone! I have been busy if this didn't come fast enough for you.
InuYasha: (angry) you are not!
LadyKagome215: (narrowing eyes) Are too. Just like Kagome and the rest of the world, I have things to do
Kagome: (getting mad as well) Join me?
LadyKagome215: Yes
InuYasha: Oh no! (begins to run)
Kagome: SIT! (InuYasha thuds to the ground)
LadyKagome215: SIT! SIT! SIT! (InuYasha shaking in a big hole)
InuYasha: ouch!
Kagome: To remind you, Rumiko Takahashi owns all the InuYasha characters. She just doesn't own LadyKagome215's added characters.
LadyKagome215: On with the show!
InuYasha: You Bitches (Kagome slaps InuYasha)
LadyKagome215: (sighs) Be nice children...maybe we should start censoring your language...hmmm
Chapter Three: Wedding Talk
"Because InuYasha isn't here to protect us," Kagome answered, yawning. "What did you guys go after anyways?"
"Well, a rumor was that a demon was heading straight for the village for you. Well, for the jewel's protector and the jewel. The demon didn't care who the protector was or anything, but as long as the protector was female and a miko or a shaman. He was going to kidnap the protector and force her to either die and hand the jewel to him or live at his side as his wife and allow him to rule the land. InuYasha refused to allow that to happen. He confided in me, not Miroku, that protecting you made him happy and stronger. He may have loved Kikyo at some point, but he told me that the second she chose Naraku; he knew she had never even loved him back truly. He told me that you were very important to him and must be kept safe," Sango explained, stretching. "We almost made it. We really did. Somehow we were caught on the way. He sent demons after us. We couldn't defeat them all and we fell captive. When we reached this point, the demons decided to rest and left us without any guards except we were chained. InuYasha set me free, using his claws, as soon as Miroku fell asleep."
"Why did he wait until Miroku fell asleep?" Kagome's face was filled with question.
"He didn't want to fight with Miroku or want him to know what he was going to tell me," Sango answered. "You know Miroku, nosy as ever. He would have figured that InuYasha was hitting on his wife! Anyways, InuYasha told me to hide in the trees and wait for you. In the mourning, the demons awoke and searched, but couldn't find me. Good thing I know that the demon's castle is farther up that path."
"Good thing you do. Do you think Miroku or InuYasha escaped?" Kagome yawned again. Sango was silent.
"I don't know. I should have followed them, but we were tortured on the way. That's how I got the slash on my arm. I was only here for a day before you showed up. Luckily, you always carry your first aid kit around." Sango rubbed at her bandaged arms.
"Remember the night Miroku demanded to know what InuYasha and I were hiding?"
"Yeah. I knew you two were hiding something, but Miroku wanted to know what it was. It was funny how Miroku landed after InuYasha punched him. You should have seen InuYasha's face when Miroku demanded to know what you two were hiding. So, what were you guys hiding? You weren't getting married, were you?" Kagome looked to the ground. "Kagome?"
"We talked about it, but I told him I would have to talk to my mom. My mom was kind of supportive if you call asking why I couldn't just marry Hojo instead supportive. My grandfather kept saying how my ancestors were rolling in their graves. My mother kept saying that Hojo was a better choice. Sota was no help. He kept asking when the wedding was."
"Sounds very supportive. Who is this Hojo? Kagome, you haven't cheated on InuYasha, have you?"
"Hojo is a boy who has a crush on me. Before Naraku was destroyed, he and I went on a couple dates. You have to understand. When your friends force you to get a date with him, you can only cancel so many times. I love InuYasha very dearly. Besides, last time I talked to Hojo, he was getting married to one of my best friends. Her name is Yuki. She and the others helped Sota help me with tests and studying." Sango laughed. "It's not my fault Hojo liked me. He was the one who kept listening to Grandpa's wild stories about why I wasn't in school and kept bringing me gifts." Kagome thought about it for a while and started laughing, also.
"I think InuYasha would be jealous if he was here listening." Kagome nodded in agreement. The sun began to show itself in the sky. "I'm no longer tired. What about you?"
"Nope. I'm ready to go." Kagome stood up. "I'm ready to attack that demon's army and kill him. No one kidnaps my friends and gets away with it."
"Kagome. Are you sure you can do this? Even with a weakling at your side?" Kagome smiled and shook her head.
"Sango. You are my best friend. The best one out of all of them and the strongest of the bunch. None of the others would fight a demon or even love a pervert like Miroku and help him change his ways. You could NEVER be a weakling." Sango cried. "Don't cry! We must be strong for Miroku and InuYasha."
"I'm crying because you are the best friend I ever had, too. Can we rest some more before going off?"
"That might be best in your case."
"Kagome?" Sango's question made Kagome wonder what Sango wanted to know.
"What?" Sango looked at Kagome and tried to read her expression, but only got worry, concern, anger, and love emotions out of it.
"You never finished telling me about marrying InuYasha." Kagome giggled.
"It could kill an hour. They would expect an attack at dawn." Sango nodded her head. "Like I said before, we talked about it. He explained what would happen and stuff. I asked him if we could have two different weddings. One like the ones in my time and one like the ones in this era. He agreed to it, but I had to explain the ones in my time. The only thing he hated was the fact he had to wear a tuxedo and wear a hat again to cover his ears. I told him that if he did that for me, we could have a wedding like you and Miroku had." The talking lasted until the sun was high in the sky. Kagome and Sango continued from Kagome's wedding plans to Miroku to InuYasha to memories of traveling after Naraku. "Remember that time where Miroku asked you to kiss him."
"The only reason he did that was because you and InuYasha locked lips before that." Kagome blushed. "You shouldn't blush shortly after you two are married."
"I also remember how InuYasha said he didn't really want the kiss and yet shortly after Naraku's death, he admitted he lied." Sango stretched and giggled. "Sango, we better get going. Miroku and InuYasha need us now."
"How do you know that?" Sango cleared the signs of fire while Kagome rolled up the sleeping bag.
"It's a feeling I have," Kagome answered. She finished packing up and stood up.
"The demon took over Naraku's castle. That's why everything is so familiar. We journeyed here several times to place prayers on the graves. Do you remember that?" Sango explained.
"Hai, I do remember," Kagome replied. Kagome walked to the trees and hid her backpack. "It will prove to be a burden if we took it. Worse comes to worse, we could come back. You could call Kilala to retrieve it."
"Kagome, I left Kilala with Kaede," Sango questioned. Kagome smiled, again.
"I know. I told her to keep alert for when I cry out for my bag and my first aid kit," Kagome explained. Sango nodded. Kagome and Sango began to walk among the path. It was hours before they reached the castle. Demon guards surrounded the place. Kagome and Sango hid in the trees. Soon, a long noise rang out and the demons disappeared inside. Kagome sighed and froze.
