Chapter 5: Wedding Myths…
"OK already! Stop jingling the damn bag and show me what's in it!"
"Oh, Kagome, its just some things that every bride needs, here look" and Sango handed the black bag to Kagome
Kagome took something out, that was a little unsuspected, "Umm…how is this something that every bride needs?'
Said Kagome as she held out various types of condoms and…birth control pills!
Sango looked absolutely horrified, "Oh Shit…wrong bag…uhh, give that to me Kagome and I'll go get the right bag"
"No, wait just a second, I wonder Sango, if this is the wrong bag, then it must belong to you…mmm…interesting…now Sango, I'm your best friend, why on earth did you buy these things? Unless…" Kagome gasped at her realization
"No, Kagome it's not what you think!" cried Sango as she backed up away from the laughing Kagome
"Who is it! Who is it! Why didn't you tell me! Who is it!" questioned a jumping Kagome
"Kagome! Stop jumping you'll ruin the dress! And its…it's…its Miroku…" said Sango with a furious blush gracing her features
"WHAT! Miroku, when, how…huh?"
"Just three days ago…we, I mean, I didn't want to say anything yet until we were official…" explained Sango as she was shifting uncomfortably from side to side
"Oh my god! This is big news! Wow!"
"Can we talk about this later, I'll go out and get the right bag…umm…I'll be right back…" Sango snatched the bag with her not-so-personal-anymore purchases and ran out the door
A few minutes later…
Sango came back with a smile but she still had a small blush staining the bridge of her nose
"Alright, now THIS is what every bride needs" she said to Kagome and took out the items one by one, placing them on the small circular table
Kagome's eyes widened a fraction at the items…
'Why am I feeling this way? I should be happy with these! I shouldn't be feeling so absolutely horrific right now! Maybe it's just my nerves…yeah, I mean with this stuff I'm ensured a happy marriage right? So…why does that feel so utterly wrong… ?'
Despite how Kagome felt, she managed to smile for Sango…
After taking out all the items Sango started to display each one and explain their meaning
1st item: An antique-looking silver bracelet
"Something old, remember when you're grandfather gave you this Kagome, I tried to clean it a little bit, but hey, that's the point to it being old right?" Sango commented as she put the bracelet on her naked wrist, "This symbolizes continuity with your family and the past"
"Well, the dress is the something new, so I didn't need to worry about that. Something new means optimism and hope for your new life ahead." Explained Sango as she touched the dress
2nd item: A silver ankle bracelet with elaborate intricate patterns engraved in it
"Something borrowed, this is one of my favorite bracelets, I'm letting you borrow it and you can give it back to me whenever you want. This reminds you that you can depend on your friends and family." Kagome walked over to the chair and Sango placed the ankle bracelet on her bare ankle
3rd item: A dark blue lace
"Something blue, sorry Kagome I know it was supposed to be a lighter blue, but this was the only thing I could find. Anyway, this symbolizes love, modesty, and fidelity." She said and Kagome lift her dress so Sango could put it on
4th item: A penny
"And a silver sixpence…umm…well, it's not silver…or a sixpence…but it was the closest I got. This goes in your shoe. This represents wealth and financial security." Sango took off Kagome's right shoe and put the penny in
5th item: A necklace with a Pink jewel hanging on it
Kagome gasped instantly at the sight of the necklace
"What? What? What is it?" Sango thought for a moment and then calmed down thinking she knew why Kagome was surprised
"Yeah, I know I thought that was it too, but I heard a couple of ladies talking in the bridal shop I went to and they said that for a wedding you also needed something stolen. So I got the only thing you've ever stolen in your life. I still can't believe that you, innocent little Kagome, stole this beautiful pink jewel. But by the time I convinced you to bring it back; the place where you stole was closed down…that was so weird too…"
Kagome couldn't listen to her friend; right now she was re-living that event in her head
FLASHBACK
"Oh wow…" cooed Kagome as she looked down at the shining pink jewel
"Yeah, I know, now you have to promise me something" said a gruff voice belonging to a very handsome young man
Kagome looked up to the man and nodded, "Anything"
"You have to promise me that, you will not give this back to me, got it. This is my present to you, and you better not give it back." He said seriously
"Why do I have to promise, I wont give it back, there's no-"
"Just promise ok!" he said raising his voice a little
Kagome looked into his eyes, searching for anything and she knew he was hiding something, but couldn't tell what…but it was something big…but she also saw the urgency and the need he had for her to promise…and she complied to it without hesitation…
"Alright, I promise, I'll never give it back no matter what…"
He smiled, letting the tip of a fang peek out
"Excellent, now here…" and he handed her the beautiful jewel
Once the jewel was in Kagome's hands she suddenly felt a power flow through her and the jewel seemed to shine brighter at her touch
"Here, let me put it on you" he took the necklace from her and put it on her, once Kagome heard the little click she immediately started to play with it, awed by the mere beauty of it
"If it's possible, you look more beautiful than usual" he said as he hugged her from behind kissing her neck lightly
"Thank you so much, its beautiful…I love you" she said to him as she hugged the powerful arms that held her and moved her head to the side to give him more access
"I love you too…that's why I think I should tell you the truth…" he said and let her go
Kagome looked at her beloved with question
"Uh…that necklace…that you PROMISED to keep no matter what…I uh…really didn't have the money to buy it…so I…kinda…uh…stole it…" he confessed as he scratched the back of his head nervously
Kagome eyes widened, "YOU WHAT!"
END OF FLASHBACK
Kagome chuckled when he stuttered in explaining to her that the store was going to close in just 3 days anyway so that it didn't matter at all. She remembered his boyish innocence when he explained why he did it. And when she told Sango that she stole the jewel…I mean she kinda did didn't she?...well, the only thing going through her mind in that time was "Don't let them get him". And so Kagome made the story of her stealing the jewel, and after Sango pleaded for her to take it back for 2 days straight, Kagome remembered how that sign said, "SHUTDOWN". And how Sango made up an excuse for Kagome to keep the dazzling jewel…
And after what happened last year…she had put that significant jewel in a box, never again for her eyes to see…everyone asked about it…she just said that she kept forgetting to put it on…Miroku was the only one who didn't buy it…of course Miroku didn't know that he stole it, Miroku actually fainted when he found out that she had "stolen" it… Miroku thought that she had put it away because it reminded her of him too much, and thought that she couldn't bear to wear nor see it…he was actually right on the point, but Kagome never said anything…but now she was looking at that jewel, the precious jewel, that she was tempted to put on for a little more than half a year… and there it was, just waiting to be put back on its owner's fair neck…where it's supposed to be…where it was meant to be…
"Well, I'm not really sure what it means at all, I just thought you needed more luck, so here." Sango went behind Kagome to put the necklace on her
As soon as she heard that little familiar click she turned to look at herself in the mirror, now adorning the glowing jewel. Her hands starting to grope the precious stone as if they had missed it or something.
"You know…you look prettier somehow…I don't know how but, that jewel, it just…makes you shine kind of…" commented Sango as she looked at Kagome who was momentarily transfixed with her image in the mirror
"Kagome?..."
The girls turned to the opened door and saw Kagome's mother peeking her head in
"Yes mom?" questioned the bride
"Get ready…its almost time" her mother said to her and smiled as she walked out the door
Sango looked back at Kagome, "Oh my God! Kagome its almost time…wow…you're actually going to get married! Oh wow! (Sango suddenly gets a face of realization) Oh shit! It's almost time! What do I do! I'm your maid of honor! Do I go sit! No wait, what did he say in the rehearsal? I can't remember anything!" Sango shouted as she started to go crazy in the dressing room
"Sango! Calm down!" shouted Kagome as she put her hands on Sango's shoulders to stop her panic
"Ok, you're going to go get Miroku and tell him to come get me and to get me my flowers, then you're going to get in the processional line, got it"
Sango nodded and saluted Kagome, "Yes sir, uh, I mean mam!"
Kagome rolled her eyes and smiled, "Alright, now be safe on your journey solider, remember, whatever happens, just know that you were my favorite"
Sango started to get tears in her eyes and looked at her 'general', "You really mean that?"
"NO! Now get your butt out there!" yelled Kagome
Sango yelped and ran out the door…
Kagome could hear her friend laughing like crazy out in the hallway…and she shook her head
5 minutes later…
Kagome was looking at the jewel yet again when she heard the door open
"Miroku, it's about damn time, do you kn-"Kagome stopped dead when she suddenly realized that she wasn't sensing a monk…she was sensing a demon…a familiar demon
Kagome slowly turned around and gasped …
"Hello, Kagome…"
