Chapter 16
Kagome awoke early that morning from all the excited. 'Today's the day.' She thought, looking over at the sleeping hanyou next to her. 'Damn, he's so hot in the morning. Just think, I'll get to see him every morning from now on.' She thought getting out of bed. She saw Inuyasha's ear twitch and then his eyes opened.
"Morning sunshine!" He said.
"Well, good-"
"I was talking to the sun." Inuyasha said giving her a big grin.
"Oh, stop. Today, or should I say, tonight's the night." Kagome said giving him a quick kiss.
"Now, we've got lots of stuff to do today. I've got to pick out some flowers. You need to make sure that suit fits alright for about three hours. Our wedding isn't going to last that long." She said grabbing a t-shirt and a pair of jeans and went to the bathroom to change.
Soon, she was done and ready to go. "Inuyasha, I'm leaving now so be good."
"Don't treat me like a dog." Inuyasha snorted.
"But you are a dog. You are my puppy!" she said with a smile.
"No, you're my bitch." He said with a grin.
"Whatever, still be good." She said heading out the door and heading down the stairs.
"Mom, are you ready to pick up the stuff? Mom? Mom, where are you?" Kagome asked looking around.
"She left some time ago, but said she would be back by 8:00am." Haruko said coming from his room.
"Did she say where she was going, grandpa?"
"No, just that she would be back by 8:00am. It's now ten after so she's late."
'I wonder what she's doing.' Kagome thought when her cat rubbed up against her leg. "Hey there Boyu. Where have you been hiding? After I go to the feudal era after the wedding I won't see you as much. Maybe you will loose some pounds since I won't be spoiling you anymore." Kagome said rubbing the overweight cat's belly.
"Oh, there you are Kagome. Sorry for being late. I had soon earns to run. Are you ready to go?" Mrs. Higurashi asked heading for the door.
"What earns?" Kagome asked.
"Nothing to fret about. Now, get in the car. We've got a lot of stuff to do before tonight." Mrs. Higurashi said getting in the car and headed down the driveway.
"Don't I know it."
----hours later----
"Okay mom, I think that will do it for the decorating. I don't want flowers out the wah-zu now do I?" Kagome said looking at all the flowers arranged in the back yard. "I mean, it's at night. You won't be able to see much anyway. "
"Yes, I guess you are tight. Now, the guests should be arriving any minute now so let's get you into your dress. Grandpa can deal with seating." Mrs. Higurashi said pulling Kagome inside.
----awhile later (I'm skipping unimportant things)----
"Well Kagome, are you ready?" Haruko asked extending his arm.
"Yes grandpa, I am." Kagome said.
The tape player started the wedding march and the 4th count was her cue to start walking. She took one step and stopped for about a second then moved the other foot. Haruko pushed the curtains aside in the door way to revile the outside. Kagome's close relatives were there. Everyone invited showed up. She glanced up to where the preacher stood and saw a very human, very handsome Inuyasha. 'God, he looks good in that suit.' Kagome thought.
Inuyasha stood near the preacher waiting for Kagome. When she came through the doorway he had to take a sharp intake of air. 'Wow, she's breath taking, literally.' Inuyasha thought. Soon she was standing next to him and he just had to smile.
"Do you Kagome take Inuyasha to be your lawful wedded husband? Through sickness and in health till death do you part?" The preacher asked.
"I do." Kagome said.
"Do you Inuyasha take Kagome to be your lawful wedded wife? Through sickness and in health till death do you part?" The preacher asked Inuyasha.
"Um, I don't know." Inuyasha said.
Kagome starred at him in shock. Inuyasha noticed her expression and winked at her.
"I do." Inuyasha said.
"By the power invested in me. I give you Mr. and Mrs. Inuyasha Higurashi."
Inuyasha kissed Kagome and everyone clapped. When he pulled her away she whispered in his ear. "That's going to cost you dog boy." He just had to grin. 'We'll se wench. We'll see.' he thought to himself.
-----
Everyone had a good time at the wedding and the reception that they didn't start leaving until 2:00am. There were only 16 of them, so it only took ten minutes for everyone to say they're congratulations and leave. Mrs. Higurashi said good-bye to everyone then went to clean up the rest of the cake. Kagome noticed her mom started to clean up and went to help.
"Here mom, let me help you." Kagome said picking up plates and napkins from the table.
"Oh honey thank you, but you should get going back to the feudal era. I'm sure Inuyasha can't wait to get back.' Mrs. Higurashi said taking the plates and napkins from her daughter's hands.
"You're probably right, but are you sure you don't need help cleaning up?"
"Oh, I'm fine. I'll have Sota help me. You just make sure everything you're taking is ready to go. Don't want to keep Inuyasha waiting." Mrs. Higurashi said winking at Kagome.
"Ok, he might need some help to get out of that suit." Kagome said walking out of the yard and into the house to her room.
She opened the door to find Inuyasha in his regular clothes sitting on the window seal looking at the moon. She figured he was in deep thought since he didn't even look at the door when it came open or even when she shut it. She slipped off her shoes close to the door and then unzipped her dress. She pulled out a light blue skirt from her closet a little shorter than her school uniform and a white shirt to match it than put them on.
She packed some more skirts different shapes, colors and sizes. Then she packed shirts to match. She pulled some jeans out of her closet and added them to her bag. She grabbed socks, panties and a few bras from a draw and packed them with everything else. She grabbed the bag and laid it next to the bedroom door.
"Inuyasha, I'm ready to go are you?" Kagome asked waiting by the bedroom door.
"Kagome, I have something to ask you. You probably won't like it, but it's for the best. When we leave for the feudal era, I want you to stay there until the Shikon no Tama is completed and Naraku is dead. Will you do that?" Inuyasha asked getting up from the window seal and walked over to where she was standing at her bedroom door.
"Well, I don't have school anymore since we got married, so I think I can do that. I mean, I will be sad because I wont get to see my family for a while, but I figured once we run out of Ramen, you'd want to get some more." She said with a smile.
"Well, I guess you'd better pack extra cuz we ain't coming back for a while." Inuyasha said grabbing her wrist and the bag dragging them both down the stairs.
"Are you both ready to go?" Mrs. Higurashi asked seeing them come down the stairs with Kagome's bag. "Yeah, all I need is my yellow pack with the food and we'll be all set." Kagome said heading for the kitchen.
"I packed 12 packages of beef Ramen and 12 packages of chicken Ramen. I thought that would be enough for at least two weeks." Mrs. Higurashi said smiling.
"Umm….actually mom, I'm staying in the feudal era with Inuyasha until we complete the Shikon no Tama and Naraku is killed. I know you will be upset, but I am a married woman and I have to be beside my mate. I will miss you greatly. Now, before you say anything let us leave quietly. No good-byes because this isn't a good-bye. I will see you later." Kagome said giving her mom a kiss. She grabbed 12 more packages of beef and 12 more of chicken and placed them in her pack. 'I hope we aren't gone longer than a month.' She thought heading back to Inuyasha.
"I'm ready, lets go." She told him grabbing her bag and pack opening the door.
"Aren't you going to say good-bye or something?" Inuyasha asked.
She smiled. "No because this isn't good-bye. Now let's go before grandpa or Sota gets in here." She said walking out the door.
Inuyasha paused for a moment, but decided not to question her and followed her to the well house. With one last look at the house, she grabbed Inuyasha's hand and jumped into the well. A bright blue light engulfed them and within a matter of seconds they were in the feudal era looking up at the night sky.
Kagome went to climb up the vine on the side of the well when Inuyasha lifted her into his arms and jumped out of the well, bags included.
"Woah…thanks Inuyasha." Kagome said jumping out of his grasp.
"Anytime, wen-." Inuyasha stopped when he caught an all to familiar smell. Naraku." He hissed.
"I'm glad you have returned Inuyasha. So, you finally took the miko to be your mate? Well, this will complicate things a little, but nothing that can't be fixed." Naraku said stepping out from a behind a tree in his baboon pelt.
Inuyasha withdrew Tetsuaiga from its sheath and it transformed into a big fang with a flick of his wrist. "What the hell do you want? What things are you talking about? Answer me dammit!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Nothing concerning you." Naraku said moving a little closer to the half-breed.
"Bullshit it doesn't concern me. I will kill you!" Inuyasha yelled charging at Naraku. He cut through Naraku's puppet and it turned to ash instantly.
"I shall return later my miko.' Naraku said appearing next to Kagome, smelling her fear. As soon as Inuyasha turned to run after him again he disappeared as fast as he came.
"Did he hurt you?" Inuyasha asked sniffing her over for any cuts.
"No, I'm fine. He didn't touch me. He just said that statement to me, and then he left. What do you think he meant by it?" Kagome asked looking worriedly at Inuyasha.
"That son of a bitch will be back." Inuyasha growled. "Let's get to the village and tell the others to be on the look out." He said taking one her bags in one hand and grasped her hand in the other as they walked back to the village.
"Yes, fear me my little miko." Naraku said watching them from Kanna's mirror. "Fear me."
