From Hatred To Love
Chapter35- Wedding Bliss
" Damn it!" Inuyasha muttered as he walked off to class. " I thought that she wasn't going to use that thing to her advantage. I sure thought wrong."
Inuyasha muttered a few more curses and rubbed his forehead to soothe the sudden headache that he had.
" Hi!"
Inuyasha knew that voice very well by now. He didn't turn around because he knew it was that girl, Liko. He stopped and waited for her to catch up to him. She looked at him and gave him her most dazzling smile.
" How are you today?" Liko asked. Inuyasha grumbled and continued walking. Liko looked down at her books. " Not so good, huh?"
Inuyasha grunted in response before remembering that he had to show the girl around for the week and it was only the second day. ' Why is this week going to slow!' Inuyasha thought and clenched his fists before turning to look at the girl.
" What class do you have now?" Inuyasha asked and stopped walking. Liko looked at bit surprised by his question. She smiled at him and pulled out a small scrap of paper from her bag.
" Science," she said. Inuyasha groaned and slid his hand over his face.
" Me too," he said dully.
" Great!" Liko chirped and blushed when Inuyasha opened his eyes to look at her.
" Can I see that paper?" Inuyahsa asked and held out his hand. Liko nodded and handed him the messy paper. The hanyou scanned it fro a while and then sighed. " You're in every single one of my classes."
" Oh that's great!" Liko said and smiled. " Now you won't have to go through all the trouble of taking me to my classes. I'll just follow you!"
Inuyasha didn't respond and began walking to his science class with Liko trailing behind him. The two arrived just before the bell rang. Inuyasha took his usual seat next to Kagome. She was sitting quietly at the table reading.
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha and Liko before averting her attention back to her book. Inuyasha sighed and rested his hand on Kagome's
" You still can't be mad, right?" Kagome didn't respond. That answered Inuyasha's question. " Aw come on Kagome! I didn't mean what I said... I'm sorry ok. Happy now?"
Kagome looked up and smiled at Inuyasha before nodding her head. Inuyasha almost fell off his chair when Kagome threw herself on him and gave him and tight hug.
When she pulled away from him she looked up at Liko, who was standing by their table looking a bit lost.
" Hi Liko," Kagome said. She turned to Inuyasha before whispering in her ear. " I think you should sit with her."
" What! Why?"
" Because she's new and you have to help her," Kagome said. Inuyasha didn't get time respond because Kagome stood up and took her books off the table. " Liko, you can take my seat. I'll sit somewhere else."
Liko nodded and sat down next to Inuyasha. The hanyou looked at Kagome who was scanning the room. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her down so he could talk to her.
" Where you gonna sit?" he asked. Kagome looked around the room before pointing at the back of the classroom. There was an empty seat but it was right next to Kouga. ' Since when was the wimpy wolf in our science class?' he thought.
" No way Kagome! He'll try to take advantage of you!"
" How?' Kagome asked. " Kouga respects me. He won't try anything."
" Kagome I don't think-"
" Let me go now or I'll say the 's' word!" Kagome said. Inuyasha reluctantly released the miko's hand and allowed her to walk in the back of the class. Kouga shot Inuyasha a smile when Kagome took her seat next to him.
The hanyou grumbled and looked back that Kagome who was now talking with Kouga. He clenched his fists and started growling. Why didn't that wolf have to be in their class anyway? 'He probably just wants to make a move on Kagome but he ain't getting her.'
Mrs. Kilo entered the classroom soon after and began teaching. Inuyasha kept on looking back and Kagome, only to see Kouga either talking to her or trying to reach for her hand. That class went painfully slow for the hanyou.
Kagome was looking intently at the book laid on the table before her. She was now in the quiet environment of the library. She stared blankly at the words laid on the pages but her mind was drifting off.
Science had gone pretty well fro her. Kouga had kept his hands to himself and Inuyasha behaved very well, not trying to pick a fight with the wolf demon like he would usually do. The miko's mind then drifted off to the new girl, Liko. Kagome had a strong feeling in her gut that Liko had an interest in Inuyasha but she always shrugged it off when it came into her mind.
' I wonder if-' Kagome's thoughts were cut short when someone rested a hand on her shoulder. She turned around to see Kouga's face very near to hers. She smiled at him like she usually did.
" Hi Kouga," Kagome said. The wolf demon took a seat next ot hero n the table and looked at her intently. He turned his head in the other direction before looking back at her with a smile.
" Kagome," he began slowly and look both her hands in his. The miko shifted uncomfortably and attempted to look away from Kouga. " Junior Prom is coming up next month... and I would love if my woman would come with me!"
Kagome turned her head so Kouga couldn't see her roll her eyes. She looked back at him and shook her hands out of his with her cheerful smile.
' Ok I really gotta think about this,' Kagome thought. ' I have to let him down nicely.'
Kagome snapped out of her thoughts when she felt Kouga shift around in his seat. She looked directly at him and tried her best to give him a friendly smile.
" The Prom... well I uh... I don't think we should really go together," Kagome said.
" Why not?" he asked firmly. Kagome looked in the other direction as she tried to think of a good excuse instead of telling him that she had no interest in him whatsoever.
" I... I think I want to go alone," she lied.
" Why would you want to?" he asked.
" Be-because I-" Kagome stuttered.
" Because you want to go with dog-turd, right?" Kouga accused. When Kagome didn't answer Kouga began emitting a growl from deep inside his throat. " So what are you two?"
Kagome looked down at her feet. How was she going to get out of this one. Kouga looked really angry. This was once situation that she couldn't handle.
" Kouga," Kagome began gently. " I think that there are so many girls that you can get that are much more better than me."
" So you're dating dog-turd, huh?" Kouga asked as if he didn't hear what Kagome said before. The miko sighed and nodded her head hoping that her decision to tell the truth wouldn't end up in another fight.
" So what do you see in the hanyou?" he asked suddenly, surprising Kagome a bit. The miko brought her head up to look at the wolf demon.
" Lots of things," Kagome said quietly.
" Lots of things huh," Kouga echoed. " Things that you would never see in me cause I'm not good enough."
" I never said that!" Kagome said suddenly and got on her feet. She glared at Kouga, letting all the anger that she felt. " Look Kouga, I'm not your woman! I'm dating Inuyasha and you'll have to deal with it! There are so many girls in this school that would kill to get your attention but for some reason you fail to see what's in front your very own eyes! I don't want to go to prom with you, ok. I'm sorry."
Kouga looked at Kagome wide eyed. The miko glared at Kouga and walked off, not looking back to see his reaction. As soon as she was out the library, Kagome sighed feeling like a great weight was lifted off her shoulders.
Sango hugged Rin and smiled at her. The older girl was trembling and she was beginning to sweat. Sango rubbed her friends back and smiled at her.
" It's going to be alright. You look fine," she said encouragingly. Rin whipped her eyes and frowned as she looked at her reflection in the mirror.
" No I look horrible and why did I pick this dress? It looks so bad on me and I don't have any makeup! Where'd it go?"
" Kagome went to get the makeup, remember and you look great in that dress. Don't worry about a thing! It's your wedding day, you should be happy."
" But no one wants an ugly bride!" Rin pointed out. " And that's exactly how I look, ugly! Sessy's not going to want to marry me now! I mean, look at me!" Rin said and looked at her face in the mirror again.
Sango turned Rin around so she was no longer look at the mirror. She sighed and put both hands on Rin's shoulders. She could she new tears forming in her eyes and her nose was getting pink from all the crying that she had done.
" Listen to me," Sango said as calmly as she could. " You look great and Sesshoumaru will marry you no matter how you look, ok?"
Rin nodded slowly and whipped her eyes to prevent any more tears from running down her face.
" You can do this," Sango said and smiled at Rin. Rin looked at Sango and returned the smile. The door suddenly burst open revealing Kagome.
The miko rushed into the room and dumped a whole lot of makeup on the vanity and looked at the two girls seriously.
" Got your makeup!" Kagome said. " Let's get you looking even prettier than you already are!"
Inuyasha closed his eyes and leaned against the wall with his arms folded. Damn he was bored. Sesshoumaru was standing in the middle of the room with his eyes closed and he hadn't move for at least the last fifteen minutes. Miroku was sitting at a table drawing something on a paper.
Inuyasha began growling loudly. He couldn't take the boredom. His growl caught Sesshoumaru and Miroku's attention.
" How can you two just stand there and do nothing?" Inuyasha said suddenly.
" I'm not standing, I'm sitting," Miroku pointed out. Inuyasha sent Miroku a glare which caused the monk to turn around and continue what he was doing. Inuyasha looked at his half brother who still hadn't moved.
" What about you, Fluffy?" Inuyasha asked teasingly. " Why you standing there?"
" Don't call me that," Sesshoumaru said in his usual calm voice, " And I am trying to be as calm as possible right now."
Inuyasha came to his own conclusion and looked at Sesshoumaru with a smug smirk.
" It's because your nervous," he said, " Fluffy."
" I don't get nervous," Sesshoumaru said and opened his eyes to look at Inuyasha. The hanyou shook his head.
" Whatever you say... Fluffy," Inuyasha said mockingly. In a heartbeat Sesshoumaru was i front of the hanyou looking quite threating. Inuyasha didn't look the least bit intimidated.
" Don't call me that or I'll..."
" Or you'll what?" Inuyasha asked and smirked at his brother his hand folded over his chest. Sesshoumaru flashed him a dangerous look and turned around to walk back to where he was. " Fluffy," Inuyasha added when Sesshoumaru was halfway back. When the dog demon didn't react, Inuyasha knew that he had won.
He stood leaned against the wall with a smug smirk on his face until he noticed Miroku was still drawing on the paper.
Inuyasha walked behind his friend and looked over his shoulder to see what Miroku was drawing. He wasn't surprised at what he saw.
The picture looked a lot like Sango, naked. The hanyou wasted no time and snatched the picture out of the monk's sight. He held up the picture and looked at it.
" Do you know if Sango found you drawing nude pictures of her, that she'll kick your ass, right?" Inuyasha asked. Miroku made no move to take the paper away from Inuyasha. Miroku's shoulder's slumped and he sighed.
" Yeah I know, but my teachers said that I should use my talent."
" Yeah, you have a great talent of drawing naked women," Inuyasha said sarcastically and rolled his eyes. Miroku looked up.
" Really?" he asked hopefully. " You think Sango would like it?"
Inuyasha hit Miroku in the back of his head.
" No!"
Rin looked at herself in the vanity and she couldn't help but smile. Sango and Kagome were leaning over her shoulders, waiting for her response. Rin tried her best not to cry as she looked at herself.
" I look... great!" she squealed and hugged her two friends. " Thank you!"
" You're welcome," the two said together. When Rin pulled away, her father walked in informing the girls that it was time for them to start.
Rin took up her bouquet and gave her friends one last smile before all the bride's mates left the room. Rin beamed at her father and took his hand. From then on everything seemed to go in slow motion for Rin.
The wedding march started up and Rin could feel her feet moving along with her father's. The huge door sung open revealing all her friends and family, all looking at her. Cameras flashed in front of her face and Rin's smile grew wider when her husband to be came into view, standing there, looking at her.
' He looks so sexy,' Rin thought and smiled brighter. She felt her father let her go and Sesshoumaru held her. When she looked into his golden eyes, she knew that she didn't want this moment to end.
Rin smiled to herself as she watched the crowd before her. All of them in deep conversation while eating. She couldn't believe that this day had finally come. She was married to Sesshoumaru! She looked over at him and took his hand affectionately.
" I love you," she whispered and leaned over to kiss him. Sesshoumaru kissed her back and held her face in his hands before giving her one of his rare smiles. She knew that he only smiled for her and no one else. She couldn't wait until they went on their honeymoon in Italy.
Kagome and Sango watched from afar as Rin and Sesshoumaru was making out. The two girls smiled and Kagome clasped her hands together.
" Awww," they both said at the same time and looked at each other.
" It's so adorable!" Kagome said as she looked on.
" I know," Sango added. " I can't wait 'til I get married!"
" That's all you girls talk about," Inuyasha said suddenly which made the girls snap out of their daydream. " Can't you talk about anything else?"
" You just don't understand Inuyasha," Sango said and rested her hand on her cheek with stars in her eyes, " I wish that someday I would be as lucky as Rin."
" My lovely Sango," Miroku said suddenly, " don't you feel lucky right now, to be with me?"
Sango's face lost it's sparkle and she looked at Miroku seriously.
" Sesshoumaru doesn't touch Rin in inappropriate places, monk," Sango said dully. Suddenly Sango's whole body went rigid.
" Are you ok, Sango," Kagome asked and was about to reach out to her friend but stopped when Sango's face turned a very familiar shade of pink. It wasn't long before Miroku was flying out of his seat and Sango was quickly running after him.
Inuyasha and Kagome sighed and turned back to eating. The hanyou watched curiously when Kagome took a big drink from her wine glass and called for a refill of her glass.
" Kagome," Inuyasha began. The miko looked over at him and took another sip of wine.
" Yes?"
The hanyou leaned closer to Kagome, a look of worry reflecting in his golden orbs. He touched the side of her face and looked at her seriously.
" Don't you think that you've had enough of that wine?" he asked. Kagome shook her head and smiled at him.
" No, this stuff tastes great!" she said. Inuyasha still looked worried.
" Kagome, I don't want you to get drunk again. You weren't yourself," Inuyasha reminded her. The miko smiled at him and touched his dog ears.
" I won't," she said. " I promise, this will be my last one."
She pointed to the wine glass to indicate what she was talking about before she took another sip.
" Whooooooo! I'm on top of the world!"
Inuyasha faced his attention to Kagome. She was now dancing on a table with a lot of hormone crazed guys gathered around her all of them hooting and encouraging her to continue.
The hanyou growled and pushed through the crowd. He arrived right before Kagome was about to jump off the table. Using his demon speed he caught her and held her up. Kagome laughed and wrapped her hands around his shoulders.
" Inuwaga," she said barely being able to pronounce his name right.. " You always make sure I'm safe."
The hanyou's anger quickly diminished when he saw the sparkle in her eyes when she looked at him. He sighed and wrapped his arm around her waist as he tried to help her balance.
" I take my eyes off you for one minute and you end up jumping off a table! You could have hurt yourself!" Inuyasha scolded. Kagome chuckled and leaned against him.
" But you were there to save me, Inuyasha," she said. This time she pronounced his name right. The hanyou shook his head and lifted her bridal style before heading to the table where Sango and Miroku were seated.
The couple who were making out stopped their ministrations when they caught sight of their drunk friend. Sango pulled away from Miroku and helped Inuyasha to get Kagome seated.
" What happened?" Miroku asked, he eyes still on Kagome.
" She drank a little too much," Inuyasha said and sat down next to Kagome. The miko laughed and ran her hands through Inuyasha's hair.
" You know you look so sexy," she said and leaned closer to Inuyasha.
Sango looked at the two with amusement. Miroku tried his best not to laugh.
" I think you should get Kagome home now," Miroku suggested when Kagome began to kiss the side of Inuyasha's face. Sango clasped her hand over her mouth to stop herself from laughing.
" Yeah, you should, right now."
" Ok," Inuyasha said. " I think you guys are right." He turned to Kagome and stood up. " Time to go home Kagome."
" No!" Kagome said. " I wanna stay here and party!"
" I don't think I can let her mom see her like this! I'll take her to my place and let her stay in a guest room," Inuyasha said. Sango and Miroku nodded.
Inuyasha bent down and slung Kagome over his shoulders before walking out the building. He ignored the constant pounding of her fists on her back while he walked to the car.
" Ok Kagome we're here," Inuyasha said and dropped Kagome on his bed. The miko pouted and folded her arms. Inuyasha ignored her and proceeded to take off her shoes.
" 'Yasha," she said.
" Yes Kagome?"
" Why'd we leave? I was 'aving fun!" she said.
Inuyasha sighed and didn't answer the miko. He pushed her down on the bed before planting a kiss on her forehead. He was about to leave when Kagome grabbed his wrist.
" Why can't you stay, ' Yasha?" she asked innocently.
" Kagome, you're drunk. You don't know what you're saying."
Inuyasha turned around to leave the room when he smelt tears. He turned around to see Kagome's head bowed while tears were forming in her eyes. He couldn't take it.
He went into his closet and came out wearing his sleeping shorts. Kagome beamed at him and rested her head on the pillow. He walked over to the bed and lay down next to his girlfriend.
" Ok," he whispered and wrapped an arm around her waist. " I'll stay with you... but only until you fall asleep."
He heard Kagome mummer something that even he could make out and watched as she closed her eyes.
A/N; To be honest I don't like this chapter very much. I know that it's longer than my others but I was having problems with ideas. Thanks to all my reviewers for encouraging me to continue write. I will be bringing this story to a close soon. I hope that you all liked this chapter!
