I don't own InuYasha, and don't ask how the parade was.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Okay just so you know when we last left InuYasha, Shippo, and Miroku in chapter 22. (Which in the story is really just from the previous night.) InuYasha had gone off to find Kikyo and Miroku and Shippo had just kind of ended up going to sleep.)
Now, however, Miroku and Shippo are awake and cleaning up the small area where they had spent the night last night when they hear a sound not too far off.
"I smell Kagome!" Shippo said and went off in the direction that the smell was coming from.
"Shippo wait up!" Miroku called after the little fox demon.
When Shippo finally caught up to the scent he saw Kagome, Sango, a woman that smelled a lot like Kirara and they were being led by three men.
"Kagome, Sango what happened to you two?" Shippo said he ran up to give the girls a hug but one of the guards stepped in between them.
It was then that Miroku caught up with them. "What do you men think you are doing with these innocent women?" Miroku asked the guards, who Miroku thought at the moment were bandits.
"Our Lord has commanded us to bring these 'innocent' women as you say back to their party. Are you the monk that our Lord told us was traveling with these women?" One of the guards asked Miroku.
"Yes I am, although I don't know who the blonde demon is."
"Miroku, it's me Kirara."
"Oh well then yes I travel with these women please release them."
"Monk, I leave these women in your care, but be warned our Lord told us that if anyone saw these women around the castle that he would kill them himself."
"Thanks for the warning. Kagome, Sango, and Kirara come with me."
The guards then left them a lone. And Miroku and the others went to the clearing.
"Miroku, where's InuYasha?" Kagome asked him.
"He left last night we don't know where he went." Shippo answered.
Just then a blur of red fell from the sky. (Gee I wonder who it could be?) "Kagome where the hell have you been?" InuYasha yelled at her.
"I went with Aku to put a spell on Sesshomaru to make him love me but it didn't work! And now he wants to kill me! InuYasha I don't know what to do." Kagome then started crying and went to InuYasha for a comforting hug.
Meanwhile Kirara leaned over to Sango and whispered in her ear, "He smells of Kikyo."
It was then that InuYasha noticed Kirara, "Hey who the hell are you and why do you smell like Kirara?"
"InuYasha this is Kirara, Aku gave her a human form." Sango answered.
"Whatever let's go." Then Kagome stopped hugging InuYasha and went to go get her backpack that Miroku and Shippo had kept safe for her.
"But InuYasha don't you want to stay nearby so you can get a wedding invitation?" Said a voice from someone that was in a tree above them.
"What! Who are you!" InuYasha yelled.
Just then Aku (puppet Aku) jumped down from her spot in a tree and landed in front of InuYasha, "I said don't you want to stay nearby so you will receive a wedding invitation"
"A wedding invitation? Why the hell would I want a wedding invitation?"
"I thought anyone would be happy to get a wedding invitation and find out that his only brother is getting married!"
"WHAT!" the girls screamed, "Sesshomaru's getting married? Who's he marrying? When?"
"Sesshomaru is going to marry the humangirl that lives with him. When I don't know for sure because one he still hasn't admitted that he loves her and two she is still a child. But that last part could be changed with a simple spell and then she could be four years older!"
"Wait what? You're saying that Sesshomaru is going to marry a human, but you don't know when that's going to be because right now he doesn't love her and she's just a kid?" InuYasha asked.
"He does love her! He just won't admit it! I swear sometimes he's as stubborn as your father was! Which is why I changed the spell I put on him and then I put a spell on her. Speaking of which I need to go see how that worked out." Then she walked past the crying girls and the stunned men and left them in the woods.

Well my bubble just burst. I got a constructive criticism thing. It made me sad because they were complaining about the 'sit' chapter and then they said they wouldn't read any more of the story. So I'm mad/sad right now. But I thank the people who do like my story and review and tell me they like it! New chapter either tonight or tomorrow.
