Chapter 6: It's Time!
"What are you doing in here?" asked Kagome
"What I can't see the bride, I'm not the groom you know"
Kagome bowed her head for a 1 minute pause and then…
"YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE PROCESSIONAL LINE!" screamed Kagome at the demon guest
"Kagome, please…compose yourself, there is still time, this Sesshoumaru is never late" declared the said Sesshoumaru
Kagome sighed, "Yeah you're right…" she then shot him an annoyed glance, "You're always right…"
Another short pause…
"So what ARE you doing here anyway?"
"This Sesshoumaru doesn't have to answer to you…" Kagome looked at him in a bored expression
Sesshoumaru turned his head, "I wanted to see how the bride was…"
"Rin told you to come didn't she?" she stated rather than asked
"This Sesshoumaru came on his own free will…" he said not too convincingly
(Sigh) "I'm fine as you can see…just a little nervous… now we're about to start, so go get your butt in that processional line…by the way…nice braid" commented Kagome to the demon Lord
Sesshoumaru tipped his head to the side, letting his braided silver-whitish hair swing a little before settling at his back, "I hate it…I feel bound…" he confessed to her and Kagome smiled, knowing that she was the one of the very few he told his true feelings to
"Alright Sesshoumaru, now get out" she cried to him
"This Sesshoumaru will leave when he chooses…" Sesshoumaru stayed in the room for about 5 more seconds…then he left…
Kagome looked unbelievably at the door, "How does Rin put up with him anyway…" she asked herself
!Bam!
Kagome screamed when the door suddenly banged open out of no where
"I heard you, you know…" said Sesshoumaru who stood at the doorway with a gleam of amusement in his eyes
"Why did you open the door like that! You scared me!" declared Kagome
Sesshoumaru gave one of his amusing smiles to her, "I know, that's why I did it" he said, almost sounding like a child but still keeping the feeling of authority in his voice
Kagome shook her head, "Can you get out now, it's about to start" she said to him annoyingly
Sesshoumaru stood there a bit longer and Kagome looked at him questioningly
"Why are you doing this?"
Kagome was taken aback by the question, "Wha-what?"
"He is not your destined mate, my instincts tell me so" he explained
Kagome looked down and started to look around the room ignoring his eyes as much as she could, "I love him, you're instincts can be wrong you know…"
"This Sesshoumaru's instincts are never wrong, you're making a mistake"
Kagome was going to shout back but he stopped her before she could voice her complains
"But, you have gained this Sesshoumaru's trust and respect, and so I trust that you make the right decisions. This Sesshoumaru must take his leave now, goodbye Kagome" he said and left the room without another word, closing the door behind him
Kagome turned and caught her reflection on the mirror, "I'm making a mistake aren't I…?" she asked her mirror-self
She looked at herself and her eyes stayed on the jewel, which was glowing as if agreeing with her…but although this jewel bought back that fond memory…it also brought back the pain…
Kagome looked away from the gem and looked at the door, "No, I can't go back… I love this man and I'm going to marry him and we'll be happy forever…" declared the bride…but she couldn't help the feeling of disbelief and the feeling that something was wrong which kept nagging at her soul and conscious since this dress was put on her…
Kagome was repeating her declaration to herself when she felt the aura of a familiar monk
The door opened and Miroku stood at the doorway with an expression of happiness…but he couldn't hide that little bit of regret that lingered in his eyes
Kagome ignored it and smiled for him
"Kagome, its time" he said to her and extended his elbow
Kagome nodded and took his arm
They walked to the processional line
Kagome smiled when she saw everyone ready
First was her young friend Shippou (spelling please!) who looked bored while holding the rings carelessly
Second were Rin's twin girls Aiko and Naomi, holding the basket full of flower petals, looking oh so cute in their baby pink dresses
Third were Sesshoumaru and his mate Rin
Fourth was her mother in a nice badge dress
Fifth was Sango in her very beautiful light purple gown (she was supposed to be accompanied by Miroku, but Kagome needed him to walk her down the aisle)
Then it was her and Miroku, she went to her place in line and everyone looked at her happily, but they all had that little speck of worry and regret in their eyes that she couldn't miss at all
She then heard the famous wedding tune and she could've had sworn that the jewel had somehow lost some of its glow…
She shook it off and saw the doors open…
She took a deep breath and felt Miroku tighten his grip on her reassuringly
She smiled at him and watched as Shippou made his way down the aisle…
"It's time…" were the only words she could mutter before she saw Sango start walking and then…
Miroku and herself…
In a place a bit far from where the wedding is taken place…
A clawed hand picked up the invitation that laid out on the middle of the table, mysteriously as if it had been placed there purposely…
The owner of the hand smelled the invitation, "Sesshoumaru…"
He the read it
Seconds later…
The door was slammed shut by a running figure and then you could hear the motor of a motorcycle turning on…
