Chapter Twenty-Six : Mothers Memories and the Girl Who Sings

The music played as Kagome, guided by her grandpa, slowly made it down the isle. Her soft, white, silk kinono flowling in the light breeze. Kagome smiled the whole way thoughts running through her head. ' I'm getting married, i'm getting married. Inuyasha... Mrs. Kagome Higurashi Takasugi. Me that's gonna be me. I'm getting married. The day came the day finally came. I can't believe the moment has finally arrived. Why he chose me... me out of all like Kikyo... He chose me instead of his former love. Why? I need to focus before I break down. I haven't even made it to the base of the tree and i'm already tearing. I can't wait...' Kagome pulled on the best smile and kept going. All her friends looked at her as she walked slowly. It seemed like years before she made it there only because she was shaking. Inuyasha grinned as his beautiful mate made it to him. He eyed her wanting hungrily to kiss the life from her. He kept his cool, standing there trying not to reach for her. He never wanted her so badly. He was, well weakening from her scent and her body it made him hunger. The dress that so nicley fit her curved tummy and nice thighs. It hugged her chest and body making her form shine with all glory. It was absolutly gorgeous, her and her dress. Inuyasha looked at her from head to toe, noticing all he's never seen in her real clothes except when they were nude. He stopped at her lips. The soft pink shade of lipgloss that made her lips shine and call out to him, ' Inuyasha kiss me you hunk of a hanyou.' (snicker lol) He had to control himself.

'Inuyasha get a grip...she's almost your's just wait. You need to hold on, don't ruin it. You can wait, just alittle longer...' Inuyasha waited and waited. It seemed like years. It was the longest wait. Grandpa said, Now for the vowels Inuyasha? Ye go first?'

' Yes.' Inuyasha took her hand. ' Kagome, when I met you I knew you were special. I tried to kill you at first, but you know why. Kagome you filled my heart with your soft caring love. Your love for me that you said was because I was hanyou. You didn't want me human or demon , just hanyou. I always loved that about you. Telling you how I felt was difficult cause I was afraid of rejection, afraid you loved me as a friend and nothing more. After your conflict with Kikyo I knew that I loved you and not her. I almost killed her for you and I was afraid i'd do that to you oneday. I couldn't control my demon-side. I only was able to because of you and our friends, and your love. You made my life whole again and I knew you were my real soulmate, my lover, my best friend, and my life. You were what kept and keeps me going. You make me love the world, I began to trust people and I trusted you the most. I trusted you before anyone and how I don't know. You just made my life wonderful, and I fell in love for you. I love you Kagome.' Inuyasha finished and Kagome couldn't hold it anymore. The tears flowed like a floodgate that burst. Inuyasha smiled as Kagome mouthed, 'I love you too.' She smiled and lokked at her grandpa.

" Kagome will you go?" Kagome started.

' Kagome... my lovely daughter. Oh Toku you would be so proud of our daughter. She's so beautiful I wish your were here. I know you would be proud. I know you'd love to be here walking her down the isle. You know how much she loved you. Why did you have to leave that night? Kagome warned you that the roads were unsafe, but you went anyway. I would of be okay. You didn't need to go get my pills, it was my fault you left. Oh Toku why?' Ayeka smiled as tears rolled down her face. She held the camera her hands shaking. She wouldn't miss the shot of her wedding kiss. Kagome only gets married once. Only once. Ayeka was sad, yet happy as she recalled Kagome as a six year old girl playing with her father under the God Tree.

Flash back 13 yrs. ago.

" Daddy! Daddy! You can't catch me! Daddy! Ahhh!" Six year old Kagome Higurashi laughed as she ran around the tree.

" Come here you little rascal!" Toku Higurashi laughed a harty lauged as he chased his six year old daughter.

" Daddy no!" Kagome laughed as her dad scooped her up and hoisted her over his shoulder. He plopped down and sat Kagome in his lap.

" Daddy you cheated." Kagome pouted.

" No honey I didn't. I was just to fast for my little angel." Kagome smiled as her dad looked down at her and smiled.

" Daddy how did you meet mommy?" Kagome asked laying back against his chest.

" Well I met your mommy at the airport. I was on my way out of time and there she was standing there in all her glory. She shown like an angel. I was about to miss my flight when she tapped me on the shoulder asking were flight twenty-two was. I told her that's were I was headed. We were coming back to Tokyo from New York and we rode the plane together. I said fate brought us together. She agreed. I always loved that about her. She always agreed with me. Your mom was the best ever and I asked her to marry me one day." Toku said.

" Oh how romantic!" Kagome said laughing.

Toku laughed and stood with little Kagome in his arms. Ayeka was standing there listening to the story. " Your dad's right we met in an airport on our way back here. I loved him the first time I saw him. He purposed right under this tree." Ayeka smiled. Toku set Kagome down and took his pregnat wife in his arms and kissed her passionatly. Yes prednat with Sota, that's the same week Toku died in the car accident. On his way to get pregnacy pills for Ayeka. Kagome warned him, but he said he had too. It was raining and he never came back.

" Daddy! Mommy why are they buring daddy? He said he be right back! Mommy he can't come play with me if they bury him. Mommy why!Why are they buring daddy?" Ayeka burst into tears as she hugged her daughter.

" Kagome darling please. It's okay... oh my baby!" Ayeka cried like no tomorrow. He daughter right along with her.

Flash backs end

Ayeka cried and cried. Sota wrapped his arms around his mom. " Mommy you okay?"

" Yes dear fine." She kissed his head and held the camera once again.

Kagome started on her vowles. " Inuyasha when I met you I fell for you hard. I liked you so much and jealousy reared it's head when I saw you with Kikyo. I never knew I loved you. When I first met you, I have to say, I rubbed your ears. I kept rubbing them saying soft so soft. Then I was attacked by Keade's men. After two-three long years with you and our friends I knew I loved you. Sango kept saying...You love him! Tell him!... I never listened. I told her the same thing with Miroku and neither did she listened either. I loved you and this tree made me realize it. I loved you from the day I touched your ears. I know that seems weird, but I was attracted to you and soon loved you. half-way through the first year I came through here going back to give you the shards, but couldn't say goodbye yet, so I came back. As I was passing the tree the shards started to glow. I took them to my chest and felt my heart race. The only thing left connecting me and you was the shards.I then realized I loved you so much it hurt.So I wanted to keep them, the shards, to remind me of you. Then my mom talked to me and told me to meet you and talk. So I did and I decided to stay. I loved you and after that battle I knew it was love. The way you held me and told me you loved me. I love you Inuyasha." Kagome finished leaving all the people watching, crying. Ayeka the most. Even Neysha was tearing.

Inuyasha smiled and looked at his soon-to-be wife/mate. Grandpa smiled and said, at last, " Please slip on the rings." Inuyasha slipped on the beautiful diamond ring as Kagome slipped on the gold plate ring. " I know pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Inuyasha Takasugi. Now husband and wife! You may now kiss the bride." Inuyasha grabbed her and pulled her in for the most passionate kiss ever shared between them. Kagome couldn't breath, but returned the kiss. The camera flashed and Ayeka smiled. Inuyasha and Kagome pulled away, gasping for breath and a bit flustered. Everyone cheered as the couple walked hand in hand down the isle.

They made there way to the same plaza Sango and Miroku had their after wedding ceromony. Kagome and Inuyasha got out walked to the huge room were the stage stood and the tables stood with food covering them. Ramen...Ramen for Inuyasha. They sat and right before the dinner Miroku stood.

" Eh ahem. I have a toast to recite. Inuyasha, Kagome...Sango and I have had known y'all for two-three years and have grown to love y'all as our very own family. Sango and I are having a child and would like to grant you and Lady Kagome as their or him/her legal gardians. Godparents, will you do us that honor?" Kagome and Inuyasha looked at eachother and then decided. They stood and hugged one another. " We'd be delighted!" Kagome squeeled and Inuyasha nodded. Inuyasha hugged Sango. " Know there's no getting away. We really are apart of you family." Sango teared as she kissed his cheek and cried. " Yes Inuyasha. No way out of it." Kagome cried hearing this and hugged her best friend and then Miroku, her other best friend, then her finaly husband. " Then I here by grant the toast. To our number one family. To Kagome and Inuyasha Takasugi." " To Kagome and Inuyasha!" The crowd chimmed.

Kagome walked to the stage. " Excuse me. It's time for the husband wife dance and my best friend Sango Hisho." Kagome clapped as did everyone else. Sango blushed as she walked on stage. Kagome hugged her best friend and smiled. " You'll do great." " Thanx Kagome." She hugged her again and walked off to the middle of the dance floor. Inuyasha took her hand and twirled her in. Kagome giggled. " I love you Mrs. Takasugi." " And I love you Mr. Takasugi." They kissed as the music started.

" A song by Kelly Clarkson called 'A Moment Like This.' Sango started as Inuyasha and Kagome danced.

What if I told you
It was all meant to be
Would you believe me
Would you agree
It's almost that feelin'
That we met before
So, tell me that you don't think I'm crazy
When I tell you love has come here and now

Inuyasha and Kagome danced for what seemed like ever. They loved to spend time in eachothers arms dancing, kissing, making love, or just enjoying eachothers company. They kissed before parting for another dance move.

(CHORUS)
A moment like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Some people wait forever
For that one special kiss

They danced as Sango sang. Miroku eyed her as she sang and he thought, ' Man how I love her. How much we make a great team, Oh Kami how I love her.' Miroku smiled as he watched his love one sing. It was beautiful.

Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this

Beautiful was the only word that came to mind. Kagome smiled. 'I knew she could do it.' Inuyasha smiled as if he read her thoughts.

(Verse 2)
Everything changes
But beauty remains
Something so tender
I can't explain
Well, I may be dreamin'
but still lie awake
Can we make this dream last forever
And I'll cherish all the love we share

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)
Could this be the reign of love above
I wanna know that you will catch me when I fall
So, let me tell you this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this

The song came to an end. The loved the song and made it theirs. They promised if they ever heard this song they stop what they were doing and dance, or sing along.

(ENDING CHORUS)
Some people spend two lifetimes
For a moment like this
Some people search forever
For that one special kiss
Oh, I can't believe it's happening to me
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Oh, like this
Some people wait a lifetime
For a moment like this
Ooh

Sango finished, but they kept dancing. Sango wipped her tears away and walked to Miroku.

" Baby that was beautiful."

" Thank you honey." She kissed him and they walked to Kagome and Inuyasha who have stopped dancing to kiss.

" I love you Inuyasha." " And I you Kagome." They kissed a soft kiss and turned to the arriving couple.

" Sango!" Kagome hugged her. " Thank you sooo much! You were wonderful. You have a great voice. A beautiful voice! I loved it when you sang. My heart filled with joy. The song was wonderful." Kagome said.

" Thank you, but don't wear your self down. You still have the honeymoon. Remember?" Sango grinned.

" How could we!" Inuyasha said bringing Kagome close. " Yes how could we." Kagome grinned.

An hour later they were off to the land of sunshine, HAWAII! Kagome always wanted to go to Hawaii, so Ayeka payed for it and her and Inuyasha were off. They left with teary goodbyes.

" We love you all!" They kissed and hugged and cried. Kagome waved as her and Inuyasha boarded the plane. They were off. Neysha turned to Shessy.

" Time for our battle." Neysha growled. Shessy growled.

" Fine time to battle." Rin sighed. ' Shessy.'
