Chapter Eighteen.

Inuyasha backed away from the door, he had heard everything. He stepped in the door way and stared at Miroku. "What aren't you telling them Brother!" Inuyasha growled. "Inuyasha?!" Miroku gasped a little surprised. "Inuyasha, calm down. Miroku was about to tell us." Sango looked over to her mate. "I-I-I didn't know...." Was all he could say. "Spit it out! NOW!" Inuyasha grabbed Miroku by the shirt. "The day that Kouga came to the castle... He wanted to continue talks of peace but when he saw Kagome he changed his mind... He said all he really wanted was a spell book." Both Inuyasha and Sango gasped. Rin on the other hand was confused. "Wait, what?" She said stupidly. Inuyasha's face turned from shocked to angry. "Miroku is the ONLY one in the house with spell books! Which one did he want?! Answer me!" Miroku looked from Inuyasha to Rin then to Sango. "An Italian book. Called something like Dimentichi I Fascini." Both Inuyasha and Miroku were pretty fluent with Italian but Sango and Rin were utterly confused. "Inuyasha your choking me.."

Miroku struggled under his brothers grip. He didn't really want to hit Inuyasha because he knew Inuyasha was stronger then him. "Inuyasha! Let him go!" Sango screamed at her brother-in-law at Miroku's eyes started to drift closed. Inuyasha dropped his brother and his face turned from angry to a look of sadness. "Forget Charms..." Rin looked at Sango then back to Inuyasha. "What do you mean, Forget Charms?" Inuyasha closed his eyes and a tear started to form at his lashes. "It means Kagome isn't coming back..." He walked out of the room calmly.

"Inuyasha, sweetie? Is that you?" Asune called from the next room. She watched her son walk right past the door without answering. "Inuyasha?!" Asune walked out the door and started to follow him. She laid a hand on his shoulder to stop him. "What's wrong?" Inuyasha explained everything, about the spells and Kagome. Asune stared in shock. "Wolves are never to be trusted!" She blinked a few times as if trying to formulate a plan. "Well, you still have a meeting with Kagome. I know Kouga isn't the nicest person on earth, but Kagome would never leave without saying good-bye first. You will be taking Sango and Miroku, wont you?" Inuyasha looked down to the floor. "I wasn't planning on it, but I guess I will."

"I'm going too!" Rin walked out from behind a corner. "This may be my last chance to meet my sister. I'm going." Inuyasha looked to his mother, waiting for her answer. "Fine, Rin you can go. Inuyasha if this is a trap just send someone back with the message and I will send troops over to the Wolf castle." Inuyasha nodded. "Then it's decided. You kids need to get to bed, you have a long walk tomorrow." Rin and Inuyasha nodded and started to walk back to Rin's room. Miroku and Sango were still in there, it only took them a few mili seconds to persuade them to come on the trip. "Sorry about the choking thing, Miroku." Miroku nodded that it was ok. They all separated and Rin was left alone in her room.

"Kagome?" Kouga knocked on the door. "Yes?" Kagome said from inside. "Are you ready to go to bed?" Kouga turned the door knob and opened the door. "STOP! I'm not dressed! Stay out!" Kouga smirked to himself. "Kagome, were getting married tomorrow I think it's ok." He opened to door the rest of the way. The balcony door was wide open and Kagome was outside staring up at the stars. "Kouga? This just feels awkward. Like, I don't know. Something is missing." Kouga went out on the balcony, Kagome had a sheet wrapped around her, it was under her arms and she had it bunched in her fists right above her chest. "Kagome.. Your just having pre-wedding jitters." He put his hands on her shoulders. "Are you sure?" She turned to face him. "I'm positive." He went down to kiss her and she turned her head, not allowing the kiss. This, of course, angered him. Kagome just stared at the ground beside her. "Kouga, can you leave please?" She looked up at him, his eyes held a disappointed anger. He threw her to the ground and stormed back into the room. He turned back to face her. "See you tomorrow, my bride."

Inuyasha was the first one awake that morning. He was the one that went to wake everyone else up. "Rin! Sango! Miroku! Lets go! GET UP!" He ran yelling through the house. Rin stuck her head out of the door and put her hand out. As Inuyasha ran by she grabbed his shirt and brought him down to face her. "Its FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING!! Your not supposed to meet Kagome until NINE O'CLOCK! Shut up!!" Inuyasha gulped, Rin let go of his shirt and he ran away as fast as he could. About half way down the hall he heard her room door slam. The same thing happened with Sango, although he was more afraid of Rin then Sango. Miroku however, was already awake. Miroku was a morning person, Inuyasha was relieved when he didn't yell. He didn't think his ears could take it.

Kagome sat up on her bed. She looked at the sun dial in the yard. "Five o'clock." She sighed. today they would be making her wedding dress, in fact the servants would be here in a few minutes. Only Six hours till her wedding. The thought just reeled in her mind. No way was she getting married today! Kagome locked the door and put a chair under the handle. She scooted the large wooden canopy bed against the door. With use of her powers, of course. After that it was just anything she could find to put up against the door. KnockKnock

"No ones here! Go away!" Kagome yelled. "Lady Kagome time to make your dress!" A servant called into the door. "Lady Kagome! Let me in!" Liysho, the servant, turned the handle and tried to open the door. On the other side she heard Kagome yelling at her. "Sorry, no Kagome here!" Kagome yelled in a foreign accent. "You have wrong room!" Liysho was getting annoyed. "OPEN THIS DOOR! Your the BRIDE! You HAVE to be at the wedding!" Kagome sort of giggled from the inside. "I DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH! GO AWAY!" Kagome got into a fit of giggles. Liysho got another servant to help her try to push the door open. Liysho stopped trying, but the other servant did not. "Stop it." She said calmly. "Stop it! Stop it! I will destroy you!" Kagome started to crack up again.

Memory Flash

"Inuyasha! You look like a wet dog!" Kagome laughed at his stupidity. She was standing on a wooden bridge looking over at a very wet dog demon. "You think so Kagome!" He grabbed her arm and pulled her into the pond. "No! Inuyasha!" Kagome emerged from the pond and spit out a mouth full of water, her hair was stuck to her face. Inuyasha was laughing at the way she looked. "It the algae monster!" He said laughing. "You think so!" Kagome jumped on him dunking him in the water.

End

"Inu-yasha?" Kagome looked at the door. A small red hole was forming, like someone was melting it.. "Time to go!" Kagome through the sheets she tied together out the window. She start to climb over the edge when she accidentally stepped on her bath robe and fell head first over the wall. Now she was upside down. "Great, just great!"
