Well, I hope that I have done well in this chapter. It is not especially long because it is of one subject but I do hope that you enjoy it all the same. If you express tears, I will be amazed because I tried to put a lot of detail into everything.

Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha but I do have my words! Muhahahaha!


Sango woke up early the next morning. She walked out into the kitchen and put a kettle of water on the stove. She stoked up the fire as she put coffee grounds into the kettle. After it was done, she took her cup of coffee out into the garden with her. She sat down on the bench and watched the sun rise off into the distance. The beautiful colors of red, orange, yellow, blue and green shooting out into the dark sky. The yellow becoming more apparent as the sun shined and gave the earth its morning kiss. The air was sharp this morning, clear and untainted. She could smell and hear the soldiers already working down at the site on the decorating. She looked to her left and saw the hot spring that was now encased as a large building behind her home. Steam was rising off the top of the building now, she looked around her garden; seeing the soft colors of red, purple, blue, green and pink all over the place. Her Moondragon flowers were now closing for the day; their silver petals closing up to kiss each other good night as they sleep until night comes to open up.

Sango got up and went inside and filled her cup with more coffee. By the time she came back out into the garden she stopped. She saw Sesshomaru watching the morning sun come up; he was sitting in the same bench that she just previously left. As the sun kissed him with her light, Sango noticed a shiny object on his cheek. A single tear was falling down his pale face, the colors of the sun coming through the tear. Sango moved up to him and brushed the tear away with her finger, he closed his eyes at her touch; he turned to her and she could see the sadness in his eyes. She caressed his cheek with her finger and smiled at him.

"Sesshomaru, why are you shedding tears on such a beautiful morning?"

"Sango you know the reason why. You do not have to ask such a silly question to me."

Sango sat down and put her cup down on a stone. "Sesshomaru, you should be happy today. The day is just beginning and it is wondrous with all the colors that are playing in the still night sky."

"Sango, today is the day that I lose you forever. I cannot help but to be sad today."

"Oh Sesshomaru, you are not losing me. I will always be near you and Rin, you have made sure of that for Kouga and I."

"Sango, I know that you are going to be near me and Rin. I have tried over the last few days to prepare myself for when you walk down the aisle towards him. To see you become his mate for life and not mine. But, I cannot help myself to feel this way."

Sango went and hugged Sesshomaru tightly; he wrapped his arms around her and squeezed tightly around her. He nuzzled his face into her hair, smelling in the sweet scent that made up Sango. She laid her head on his shoulder; she could remember all the times that she had done this to calm him, to make him feel better. And even now, she did not think that it was going to work because she could feel the sadness radiating off of him.

She pulled away from him and looked into his face, "Sesshomaru, you know that I love and care for you. That will never go away, the past that we had will never fade from my memory either. You have a spot in my heart that completes it with the love that I have for Rin, Shippo and Kouga. I have experienced a full life of love, hate, revenge, and fear. I would not do anything different that I have done with you Sesshomaru. I know that the love in your heart will always be there for me. And I am happy for that, but I also know that you have much more love to seek to fill your heart."

"Sango, I do love you. I always have and I know that sounds odd because I used to hate humans but you were always different."

Sango smiled, "Thank you Sesshomaru. Now let's sit here like we used to and enjoy this beautiful sunrise." She started to turn her head towards the waking sun; Sesshomaru put up his finger and stopped it. He motioned it to face him once again and he looked into her eyes. He placed a soft kiss on her lips, not wanting to leave those lips again but knew that they were not his to take. This was their first and last kiss to each other since she left him months ago. He pulled away, got up and left inside the house. Sango just sat there and watched him as he did this, her hand moving to her mouth where his lips once were. She was shocked that he would do such a thing on the day of her wedding but she knew the reason; he was kissing her goodbye. That was the last kiss that they were ever going to share. She turned her head to the sunrise; the sun was almost all the way up from behind the trees. She sat there thinking the whole time until Shippo came outside and crawled up on her lap. She cuddled him near her and she started to cry.

"Mother, why are you crying?"

"I don't know. I guess that I am nervous for today."

"Well, I am sure that you are going to do fine. We have all the things ready down there and you are going to love what we all have done. All us men worked so hard on those buildings for today."

Sango smiled and kissed his forehead, "Oh Shippo. You are growing up so fast, I hate to see this happen to you!"

Shippo laughed as he got down from her lap. He started to head to the house when he stopped and looked at the ground. He picked it up and then looked at Sango.

"Mother, was it the sakura flower that was the one that you always loved at Sesshomaru's house?"

"Yeah why? What do you have there in your hands?"

Shippo came over to her and gave her the object that was in his hand. She was shocked to see that it was a sakura flower that she gave Sesshomaru the day that she left the palace to live here. It was the only sakura flower that bloomed purple in the garden and she picked it and gave it to him and told him to remember her. The flower was pressed thin and it was dry but you could still see the radiant purple color that it once was. She got up and grabbed her cup and went into the house. She found Sesshomaru in the guest room that he was staying in; he was starting to get things ready with Rin's clothes and her flower basket. She opened the door watching him as he did these things. He turned around and saw her there; the pressed flower in her hands, tears running down her face.

"Sesshomaru…."

He went to her and took the flower from her and started to wipe the tears away from her face as they came down.

"Sango thank you for finding this for me. I thought that I had lost it."

"Sesshomaru, I never knew that you kept it…."

Sesshomaru placed his finger over her lips to stop her from talking. He turned around and placed the flower back in the book that he kept it in.

"There has not been another purple bloom from the sakura flowers since that day that you picked this one from the garden. Not once in our history of living at the palace, has there ever been one bloom that color."

"I did not know that."

"Sango you affected the whole lands when you first came there. The impressions that you gave my staff, my soldiers, and my animals and to my gardens will always leave a lasting impression. I thank you for this, and with your forever presence in my lands will make sure that everything will stay that way. Now you should go and start getting ready. Kohaku will be here soon and I have to get Rin ready. Sayla will help you get dressed and Solarhi will help you do your hair."

Sango ran to Sesshomaru and hugged him, "Thank you Sesshomaru. For everything that you have done for me."

Sesshomaru hugged her back and pulled her away from him and looked at her, "Sango all you need to do is ask for something and it shall be yours. Anything that Kouga or you or Shippo might need all you need to do is ask. Now go and get ready!"

Sango smiled and turned around and left. Sesshomaru stood there and watched her go. He was still sad inside but this time he was not going to let it eat him away and make him cold again. He turned around and went to Rin's room to wake her; he was humming as he did this.

Sango went into the kitchen to grab another cup of coffee and saw that Kohaku was already there in the living room playing with Kirara. He was trying to brush her and she was not having it. He was laughing as she was trying to bat the brush out of his hands. Sango smiled when she saw this and she went over to them. He smiled when he saw her but then he frowned at her.

"You are not even close to getting ready!"

"I know. I was having a talk with Sesshomaru."

"Oh. I do hope that it went well."

"Yeah we have closed our relationship and now we are just friends."

"Well that is good. I know that it is hard on him considering all that Kagome told me about what had happened and what your relationship with him was for a while."

"Yeah, it was nice to see that he is not going to be sad anymore."

Kirara saw her chance and batted the brush into the kitchen; Sango and Kohaku looked at her and started laughing.

"Damn you Kirara!" Kohaku said pointing his finger at him. She looked at him and licked his finger.

Sango started laughing, "Well, I am going to bathe, good luck with brushing her Kohaku."

"Yeah thanks sis."

Sango started laughing again as she grabbed the brush and threw it at him. He caught it with no problems.

"I am glad to see that your reflexes are still sharp."

"GO AND GET READY SANGO!"

"OK!" Sango said as she turned to go to her room. She gathered all of her things and went into the hot spring to wash.

Shippo in the mean time was already clean and was getting dressed. He went into the living room in his new kimono and saw that Kirara was on top of Kohaku licking his face. Shippo started laughing and motioned Kirara to him. She jumped off of Kohaku and went to Shippo. She transformed back to her small size and jumped into his arms.

"That is not fair Kirara!" Kohaku snapped. She just turned her head and stuck out her tongue at him. Shippo laughed and grabbed the brush from Kohaku and started brushing Kirara while she was in his arms. Kohaku just sat there and stared. He could not believe that Kirara was letting him brush her! She even rolled over on her back so he could brush her tummy too. Sango bathed and put on some lotion that Kagome gave her and she walked back into the house, she saw the sight in the living room and continued to laugh as she went to her room.

"SHUT UP SANGO!" Was all that came out of Kohaku's mouth when she walked by laughing.

Sango got to her room and Sayla and Soria started helping her get ready.

At InuYasha's house:

Kouga woke up reaching out for Sango next to him. He opened up his eyes and found that she was not there. He got up and stretched and put on his robe. He made his way to the kitchen to make some coffee. He was looking out of the window while it was brewing and saw that the sky was just beginning to shine with bright colors as the sun was rising. He smiled to himself as he grabbed a cup of coffee and went out the front of the house. He looked towards Sango's house and saw her and Sesshomaru talking in the gardens, they were sitting on the bench. He could tell that it was a very serious conversation because Sango looked sad and then happy. Then he saw Sesshomaru kiss her and leave. Kouga got very angry and then he saw how Sango reacted. She did not move, she did nothing but touch her lips. Then he saw Shippo come out and talk to her and now she is crying! It took all of his strength not to go over there and hold her to find out what was wrong but then it dawned on him what was going on. Sesshomaru finally let go of her! He saw Sango and Shippo leave and he was going to go and get more coffee when he saw Sesshomaru in the window. He was looking straight at him, he looked back at the great lord's eyes and Sesshomaru nodded his head. Kouga nodded back and then went back into the house.

Kouga never thought that he would need the great Taiyoukai's approval but it did help considering they were going to live on his lands for the rest of their lives. Kouga went and got more coffee and then went to his room. He gathered some things up and headed for the hot spring. He went inside and found InuYasha in there bathing.

"Hey InuYasha."

"Hey Kouga."

"I didn't think that anyone was up yet."

"Well, I just did."

"Oh. Then I suppose that you saw what happened between Sango and Sesshomaru then in her gardens."

"Yeah. I am sorry that he kissed her."

"No, it is ok. I know that he was just saying goodbye to her. He finally let her go and he gave me his approval."

"He gave you his approval?"

"Yeah odd huh."

"Um. Yeah! He has no right to give approval of your marriage."

"I know but I am not going to argue with your brother InuYasha. I do not think that I would win."

"Yeah, I know that when it comes to Sango, he gets over protective. He is the same way with Rin sometimes."

"Do you think that he is going to stop things today?"

"No. He is a Taiyoukai Kouga. There is no way that he is going to. So, are you nervous?"

"Kinda. I can tell you one thing; I need more coffee! I could hardly sleep last night after everyone left."

"Yeah that is because you are nervous and you just don't want to admit it!" InuYasha said laughing.

"Shut up mutt!" Kouga growled.

"Oh Kouga! We are not going to get into a fight in my new hot spring building. Kagome would have both of our heads!"

"Yeah that is true. She is a spit fire!"

"To say the least. You should have saw how mad she was at me the day that the soldiers got here."

"Oh I can just imagine. Why do you think I ran home to clean Sango's house. She would have been furious at the mess that we left there!"

"You mangy wolf, you got lucky that Sango was at my house!"

"I know. Thank god for small luck when needed!" Kouga said laughing. InuYasha soon joined in. They finished their talk on small things and got dressed and went into the house to finish getting ready.

Kouga went into his room in his robe after getting more coffee. He looked at the kimono that Sayla made for him for today. He smiled as he took the material into his fingers, feeling how soft the silk was.

Today is the day that I marry Sango and make her my wife for life. Today I am going to make my father proud by taking a strong mate. But, who am I kidding? I am nervous as fuck right now! Just don't make an ass out of yourself! Don't make an ass out of yourself! And for kami's sake! Do not fall down! Ok, no falling, no farting, no burping, no ass out of self. I think that I have everything!

Kouga looked at himself in the mirror, he sighed heavily and closed his eyes.

I love Sango with all my heart and soul. Today is the day that I am going to make her proud to have me for her mate. Today is the day that I make our pack stronger by bringing her into the family. Today is the day…

He opened his eyes and sniffed the air again. He knew that scent! Kouga walked out of the house and there stood Aiayme in front of him. He was still in his robe and his coffee still in his hands.

"I see that you still are not a morning person Kouga." She said with a smirk.

"I thought that you and Ginta were unable to make it."

"Well, we had a change of plans. You know that he is still scared of you and he thinks that you are going to kill him for going out of the pack for a mate."

"But you are still within the pack Aiayme."

"I know. Now which home is Sango's? I have to go there right away."

Kouga pointed to the first house at the edge of the village. "I am sure that she is getting ready. Please be nice Aiayme, Sesshomaru and the children are in there."

"Sesshomaru? I thought that she was gone from him?"

"He is helping us tremendously. Actually you have saved me a trip to see you guys."

"Oh really."

"Yeah, I wanted to let you know that you can consider my palace as your home now. Sesshomaru offered us land and a new home on the Northern borders of his land. We are still very close to my palace in case something happens but we are going to live within Sesshomaru's lands."

"Oh really. And why is that Kouga? That does not seem like something that you would accept from your fiancé's former lover."

"For one thing, they were not lover's. I can assure you that she is still pure. And another, she is going to train Rin to be a demon slayer."

"You can assure me huh. Well, Kouga, I will happily accept your home as ours now."

"Good, after our holiday, we will come and meet with you about the specifics of everything."

"Very well Kouga! Talk to you later!" Aiayme said as she bolted to Sango's house leaving Ginta there with all their things. Kouga laughed as he helped Ginta into the house. Ginta talked with InuYasha while Kouga went back into his room to get ready. Time was getting close and he could hear Kagome humming, as she got ready also.

InuYasha knocked on Kouga's door, "Hey Kouga, are you ready yet?"

Kouga turned around to look at InuYasha. InuYasha just stood there and looked right into Kouga, "Wow, you look somewhat decent all cleaned up!"

Kouga put his hands over his chest, "You know what, that sounds like the same shit that I told you on your wedding day mutt."

"Kiss my ass you mangy wolf."

"You would think that you would have thought of something original to say to me."

"Fuck you Kouga. Now come on, Kagome said that everyone in the village is seated and ready." InuYasha said. He started out the door and Kouga stopped him.

"Hey InuYasha."

"Yeah. What is it Kouga?"

"I am fucking nervous."

"Ha ha ha! Don't worry about it Kouga. All you have to remember is that you have a beautiful woman that is going to take you. Mangy wolf and all."

"Fuck you InuYasha and thanks." Kouga said with a smirk. They left his house and started towards the middle of town, where everyone was waiting for the big moment. He saw everyone but Sango and Kagome; all the kittens were transformed and ready to follow their masters down the aisle behind them. The air was fragrant with flowers and all he could do was wait.

Back at Sango's house:

Sango was just done when Kagome came in.

"Are you ready?"

"Yeah I just got done. What you think?" Sango said as she turned to face Kagome.

Kagome's face lit up and she went and hugged Sango. "You look so beautiful! I am so sorry that your father could not see you now!"

"Oh Kagome I know! But I know that he is still watching me from heaven and that he is proud."

Kagome and Sango looked at each other, "Don't cry Kagome!"

"I will try not to. You just look so beautiful. Kouga is going to be very proud to have you today."

"Thanks for saying that. I am so nervous that I think I am going to pee myself!"

Kagome laughed and Sango chuckled. "Come on Sango, everyone is waiting."

Sango took a big breathe in and shook her head. She went into her living room where Kohaku was still waiting for her. He turned to face her and he just stared.

"Oh Sango, you look so very beautiful! I don't know if I can walk you down the aisle!"

"Well you better Kohaku or father will be very angry at you!"

Kohaku came to her and embraced her tightly. "I am very happy Sesshomaru came and found us. I would not have wanted to miss this for the world sis."

"I am happy too."

"Are you ready?"

"I think so."

Sango took in another big breathe of air and slowly transformed herself. Her cat ears took their place on top of her head, her fire insignia flamed brightly on her forehead, her teeth slightly longer, and her nails grew longer and at points. Kohaku looked at her and smiled. Kirara saw her queue and she transformed into her larger demon size. Kohaku took Sango's arm and they walked outside her home with Kirara behind her. Kagome ran ahead to get everyone into their places. She had mother walk down the aisle with Kouga first and then place him at the front with his back turned facing everyone. Then she lined up everyone else with their kittens and Shippo and Rin at the end of the line. Kirara jumped ahead of Sango and Kohaku. She picked up Shippo and he sat on her back as Ares transformed and put Rin on his back. They lined up side by side waiting for Sango and Kohaku to join them in the line. Kagome nodded and then the music started.

Kikyou and Muso were the first ones down the aisle. They were donned in Red and White kimonos and on the hem was a lily, the flower of their families. Kikyou had kept her hair down this time per request of Muso, she pulled it back slightly with a white ribbon and placed a lily in her hair. Hera was behind them donning a Red and White swirled collar to represent that they were her masters. As they reached Kouga, they kissed and then separated to their own sides. Hera flew behind Kouga and took her place on the block just behind the alter.

Kagura and Miroku were next down the aisle. They were donned in Purple and Red kimonos and on the hem was a fan with a daisy in the middle of it. Kagura had her hair up in a French twist that Kagome did for her. She lined the side of the twist with daisies. Hercules was behind them donning a Purple and Red swirled collar to represent that they were his masters. As they reached Kouga, they kissed and Kagura moved to her spot next to Kikyou while Miroku took his place at the top of the alter. Hercules flew behind Kouga and took her place on the block just behind the alter, next to Hera.

Kagome and InuYasha were next down the aisle. They were donned in Red and Silver kimonos and on the hem was the sakura flower of the Tachido family. Kagome put her hair back into a fish bone with a half ring of sakura flowers on her head. Aphrodite was behind them donning a Red and Silver swirled collar to represent that they were her masters. As they reached Kouga, they kissed and separated to their places. Aphrodite flew behind Kagura and took her place on the block just behind the alter.

Sesshomaru and Kanna were next down the aisle. Kanna was wearing a Silver and Black kimono with a mirror of fire on her hem. Kanna was wearing her hair in a half ponytail that lay nicely on her tresses. Sesshomaru was wearing a Silver and Dark Blue kimono with the sakura flower on the hem to represent the Tachido family also. As they reached Kouga, they bowed to him and separated to their places.

Kouga could barely see Sango and Kohaku since they stayed their distance still.

Shippo, Rin, Ares and Kirara were next. Shippo was wearing an Emerald Green and White Kimono with a dove rose on the hem to represent Kouga's family flower. Kirara was donned in an Emerald Green and White swirled collar to represent that she was Sango's companion. Rin was dressed in a Silver and Dark Blue kimono with the sakura flower on the hem to represent the Tachido family as well. Ares had on a Dark Blue and Silver swirled collar to represent that he was Rin's companion. As they were going down the aisle, both children were throwing dove rose petals from her basket. When they reached Kouga, Shippo bowed and got down and went to Rin's side. Rin looked at him and bowed her head and let Shippo help her off of Ares. Both at the same time, Kirara and Ares flew into the air, Ares landed on his block next to Aphrodite and Kirara landed on the other side of Aphrodite. Rin and Shippo hugged and then separated to their spots. Miroku motioned Kouga more to the middle of the aisle and then he nodded again and the music changed.

"Are you ready Sango?" Kohaku asked her as he looked at her.

"Yeah, let's do this and make our family proud." Sango said smiling.

Slowly they started walking towards the aisle, everyone was quiet as they made their way closer to Kouga. Sango could not stop smiling as she started passing people down the aisle. She looked at Kouga and his mouth was open, she giggled a little and nudged Kohaku. He looked at Kouga and chuckled.

Sango was wearing a white silk kimono. On the hems, there was a flash of Emerald Green material with dove roses in white. On her collar, by her neck was another flash of Emerald Green material with two dove roses in white. She wore her hair in a half ponytail with the ends curled. She donned a half moon of dove roses on her head with white mess going down her hair. In her hand, she held 24 dove roses and 1 fire rose. The 24 dove roses representing the number in Kouga's pack and the one fire rose was for her father.

Kohaku was donned in a Black and Silver kimono with a mirror on the hem with fire in the middle of it. He donned his father's sword on his hip to represent that he was now the Lord of their village and their clan. On the lapel of his kimono, he wore one fire rose for his father so that he was there along with him.

Sango noticed Kouga, how he was standing ever so tall and proud next to Miroku. His blue eyes glittering in the sunlight of the day, a small smile on his face and how his family insignia on his forehead just shinned brightly. He was wearing a full Emerald Green kimono with white dove roses on the hems. He had his hair pulled back into a ponytail and he could not stop smiling at her.

As Sango and Kohaku reached Kouga, Kohaku looked at Sango.

"Sister, as Lord of the Slayers I grant you approval to join with Kouga." Kohaku said with a serious voice and a serious look on his young face. He slowly took out his fathers sword and turned to Kouga, "Kouga, please hold out your hands." Kouga did this without hesitation. "Kouga, this is my father's sword, the sword of the slayer village from where we come from, do you pledge on my father's sword that you will protect Sango and Shippo with your life and the life of your pack?"

"Yes Lord Kohaku. They will always have the protection and the love of my pack." Kouga said seriously. Kohaku smiled and then turned back to Sango. He hugged her tightly and gave her a kiss on the cheek. He took her hand; he grabbed Kouga's hand and placed the one over the other and walked away taking his place in the line.

Miroku stepped forward and withdrew a red ribbon. He slowly bound their hands together, "Sango, Kouga with this red ribbon I am binding your lives together as husband and wife. This ribbon is your lifeline. The strength of your love that you have for each other and with your families. No one in this world can break this ribbon between the two of you. Only one of you can break the bond that this ribbon represents. Now in front of Kami and your family and friends, please say your vows to each other. Sango, please go first."

Sango looked at Kouga, her face ever so serious yet you can see the love that she has for him.

"Kouga I love you. I have loved you for a long time now and I would like nothing more than to live my full life with you forever. There has been things in my past that might have prevented me from doing this but, thanks to great friends I got through it all with flying colors and I am now standing in front of you. I am so happy to be able to bond with your soul and your heart in front of everyone. I am happy to have my family here with me to give me strength and support. I promise to never leave you and to give you the things that you wish for only to receive the things that I wish for from you. I love you Kouga with all of my heart and soul." Sango said.

Kouga looked at her and smiled. He then looked at their hands that were bound together with a ribbon of life and love.

"Sango you captured my heart like no one else has ever done before. I had once thought that I lost you but you still accepted me. I wake up some mornings wondering what I did to deserve you and your love. I have always thought that I was the luckiest demon alive to have you here with me now, you are here and you love me. Through the bad times and through the good times Sango, I will always love you. You had my heart years ago and you still do to this day, Sango I promise that I will always be there for you in your time of need. I will always be there for Shippo and Kirara's time of need also. They are part of our family that we are bringing together right now. I love you Sango." Kouga said.

Miroku stepped forward again and motioned Shippo forward. He took Shippo's hand and placed it on top of Sango and Kouga's. In one quick swipe all three hands were bleeding. They moved their hands together so their blood mixed together. Sango and Kouga felt such warmth from each other and then they felt Shippo's strength and power surge through them. Shippo was lifted into the air and his body was so warm from the blood that was mixing with his. Miroku motioned Kirara to come forward and she cut her paw and then the three loose arms. She placed her paws over their and then all four of them were bonding together. Each one now had the same insignia upon their foreheads. There was a bright red and blue fire with a half moon on each forehead.

Miroku motioned Kirara to take Shippo and move to the side. He looked at Sango and Kouga and smiled.

"Sango, Kouga you have now bonded with the rest of your family. In front of the village, your friends and family, do you accept the souls and blood that you have received without hate and with nothing but love?"

"Yes I do." They said in unison.

"Then Kouga, you are allowed to kiss your wife."

Kouga took Sango into his arms and placed a long and sweet kiss on her lips. After the kiss, Miroku took their shoulders and turned them to face the crowd that was sitting down.

"Everyone of InuYasha's Forest Village, I would like to present to you a new married couple, Sango and Kouga!" Miroku shouted. Kirara looked at all of her kittens and all at once, they roared loudly.

Everyone started clapping as they made their way down the aisle, their hands still bound together with the red ribbon. Kirara had Shippo on her back as she walked behind Sango and Kouga. Kagome and InuYasha followed behind her as Aphrodite flew in behind them. Sesshomaru and Rin followed with Ares behind them, Kohaku and Kanna followed Ares, Kagura and Miroku followed with Hercules behind them, and finally Kikyou and Muso were last with Hera behind them.

At the end of the aisle, Kouga and Sango were kissing again as everyone was coming towards them. It was a funny sight to see because as each couple came down to greet them, there was giggling and laughing and clapping some more and hugging.

Sango went up to Rin and Shippo and took them into her arms, "You guys did such a wonderful job! You looked like you have always done that before! I am so proud of you!"

Shippo and Rin hugged her so tightly around her neck that she thought that she was going to faint! One of Sesshomaru's soldiers motioned him and told him that the food was ready for the feast. Sesshomaru made sure that all of his soldiers stayed for the wedding and the festivities since they helped out making them. He had Sayla and Soria make kimonos for them since it would take too long to go home and get them.

Sesshomaru rose above everyone and clapped his hands together. Everyone stopped and looked at him.

"I wanted to let you all know that dinner is ready and if you could please go and find a seat, my servants will start passing out the food for each table." Sesshomaru said politely.

With that everyone started to leave for another building that was a little farther down the street. Sango took Kouga's hand and they started walking. Sango noticed that everyone was walking down a makeshift path that was lined with flowers on each side down the street. Kouga saw her face as she noticed this and leaned his face closer to hers, "I have another surprise for you my dear."

"What is it Kouga?"

"You are just going to have to wait."

Sango smiled at him, they were getting closer to the building and she noticed that everyone had stopped.

"Now close your eyes Sango." Kouga said.

She looked at him with an eyebrow raised and then closed her eyes. Kouga nodded and the side of the building opened up into a great banquet hall.

"Now open them my love." Kouga whispered.

She opened her eyes and she gasped. Here before her was a great huge building with the side open for all to see all of the tables that were neatly arranged. Table clothes over each table and the place settings done so neatly. She also noticed that there was a vase of different flowers on each table. She noticed that each table represented another family. And that the flowers in the vases were their family flowers. She laughed as she saw that they were from her garden, Kikyou's, Kagura's, and Kagome's.

"Oh Kouga, this is so beautiful!"

"And the other surprise is that this building is going to be added to your old home for Kanna and Kohaku. We are going to finish this building there and add rooms to it for their pups."

Sango smiled at him and hugged him so tightly. "Let's eat! I am starved!" She said as she grabbed his hand and pulled him to their table. The village ate well that day and Sango insisted that the soldiers eat with the guests, that they were honored guests like everyone else since they did such a wonderful job on the alter and the building. So they were all together now as family and friends under one roof for one night.

After they ate, Sango and Kouga walked around and talked to all of their guests for a while before they decided to start dancing. Kagome left real quick to grab things for Sango and Kouga that they are going to need on their honeymoon. Little did Sango know but Kagome had a carriage built for them for Ah Un to bring them to their new home for their honeymoon. No one but the three of them knew that they were going to be there and not somewhere else. Kagome came back later and told her that everything was set for when they wanted to leave. Sango made sure that she gave Kagome all of the stuff needed that Kohaku and Kanna are going to need for her house. Kagome had to assure her tons of times that things are going to be ok. Kouga came up behind Sango and pressed himself against her. Kagome took leave, as she did not want to see what he was going to do.

"I want to mate with you right now my wife." Kouga said.

Sango closed her eyes as she could feel that he was aroused and that it was rock hard against her butt. She moved her hips a little and brought her hand up around his head, "We have to wait my love. We should stay and dance for a while as to not look suspicious with anyone and then we will leave for our home so we can have some fun."

He turned his body to face her and he kissed her passionately, she moaned slightly and smiled. "Kouga I said later!" He growled and nodded. He loved it when she was so forceful with him sometimes.

Kagome went into the building and shouted to everyone, "Now as the tables are cleared and the dance floor is revealed, I would like to request that the bride and groom come in here and have your first dance together."

Sango smiled and took Kouga's hand and walked back into the building. By the time that they got there, the floor was completely empty of tables except on the sides incase anyone wanted to sit down. The band started playing and they danced together for the first time, never looking elsewhere just at each other, into each other's eyes. Throughout the dance, they whispered things to each other; they kissed each other and smiled a lot. After the dance was done, she hugged Kouga and then went over and got Kohaku.

"Kohaku dance with me. Just like father would have if he was here."

"Just for you sis."

Sango took his hand and danced with him.

"Kohaku I am so happy that you are here with me to share this day with Kouga and I."

"Sango I would have not missed it for the world. I am so happy that I am here with you."

"I have missed you while you were gone, I mean after Naraku was purified and Kanna was released. I am happy that you are with her and that you are expecting a child. Father would be proud of you right now."

"Sango, I think that father would be more proud of you. Because of all the things that you have endured and yet you are still strong and proud."

"Oh Kohaku, I love you so much!"

"Sis, I love you too."

They danced and danced. When the song was over, Sango took her brother into her arms and hugged him so fiercely. As the evening started to become nighttime, Sesshomaru motioned 5 of his soldiers to get ready for the light to go into the middle of the building. Large and thick candles were in a large circle to be suspended in the middle of the building. He motioned for Shippo, Sango and Kouga to light all of the candles; and when they were finished, they raised the chandelier up and anchored it down. The building was now brightly lit for all to have fun dancing.

Kagome motioned them over then to cut the cake and make a wish as they fed their piece of cake to each other. After they were done there, they danced some more and waited for the right time to leave without notice. But since that time never came, they announced that they were leaving for their honeymoon. Shippo ran to them crying, not wanting them to leave. Sango had to work hard to get him to relax and to go to Kagome. She hugged and kissed him so much. She kissed Kirara goodbye and told her to protect him with her life and that they would be back in one week to fetch the both of them.

Ah Un was prepared at the end of the street with the carriage. Before leaving Kouga went and thanked Sesshomaru once again for letting them borrow the dragon demon for their honeymoon. Sesshomaru told him that he would see them in one week.

And with that, Kouga grabbed Sango and walked down the street with her in his arms towards the carriage, he opened it and placed her gently in there. Sango peeked her head out of the carriage and saw that it was Akoro driving. She smiled as she remembered that he was training Shippo in skills. She waved hello to him and he waved back, she sat back down. Kouga got in after she sat back down in the seat and closed the door. Akoro then whipped the reins on Ah Un and soon they were off in the air towards their home for a week.

They looked out the back window of the carriage and saw that everyone was waving goodbye to them and they waved back. When they could not see anyone else, they closed the curtain on the window and sat back down……
