Chapter 2: The Sacred Wine Ceremony

The sun rose quietly over the mountains to enter through the hut window. Everyone was sleeping peacefully, that is until the sun light hit Kagome's face, causing her to stir and eventually wake up.

Kagome opened her eyes, raising her hand to cover her eyes from the bright sun light. She sat up and yawned, stretching her arms up in the air. She looked around, seeing everyone still asleep, she thought this would be a good time to leave, so she wouldn't cause any trouble. She slowly stood up and gathered all of her things and headed out of the hut.

Unknown to Kagome, Inuyasha was wide awake thanks to all her moving around. He opened his eyes slightly to watch her. He snickered to himself, he wanted to have some fun...He reached over and grabbed her ankle, pulling it out from under her. Of course he wouldn't let her get hurt, but he wanted to scare her.

"EH!!!" Kagome's foot was pulled out from under her and she fell backwards, not wanting to land on her face.

Just as Inuyasha was about to move out of the way, it was too late. His trick had back-fired when Kagome landed hard right in his lap! Inuyasha squealed in pain.

"Ugh!" Once she landed, Kagome rubbed her head and looked back. Her eyes widened when she saw how she landed. She was speechless.

Inuyasha just began to whimper, closing his eyes and slowly opened his mouth, "Ka...go...me....get....off...now..."

Kagome quickly jumped up, blushing a deep shade of crimson, 'Oh my god. I...I...I felt it! Eh...what am I saying?!...It was soo big! Eh?! No! Don't say that! Stop! BIG! Stop it!!! BIIIIIG!!!!' "Gah!" Kagome smacked herself in the forehead as she ran out of the hut and towards the well.

Everyone awoke to Inuyasha's painful squeal and they all watched as Kagome ran out of the hut. They looked to Inuyasha who was now in a fetal position, holding his 'precious' tightly. They rolled their eyes and went back to sleep.

Once at the well, Kagome's blush was still there. "What in the world..." She took a deep breath and jumped into the well.

After Kagome had fixed everything for that night in Sengoku, it was already nightfall, time for the ceremony. Her mother had set out a beautiful red geisha on her bed for Kagome to wear to the ceremony. She ran to her room, and squealed with delight at the sight of the wondrous dress in front of her. She quickly changed and ran down the stairs towards the ceremonious tree, the Goshinboku.

"Welcome Kagome, please take a seat next to your grandfather and we will get started." Kagome's mother bowed slight to Kagome and took her spot on the other side of Kagome's grandfather.

Kagome sat down next to her grandfather and the ceremony began. When the time came to drink from the sacred wine cup, Kagome was a bit nervous. She sipped the wine, but her mother insisted she drink the whole cup. Kagome nodded and finished off the cup. It wasn't actually that bad, if she had another cupful, she would certainly drink it as well.

"...Now Gods, we pray that the wine of next year will be just as sweet as this year's wine." Kagome's grandfather finished the ceremony with a clap of his hands and then stood up. Kagome's mother stood up, gesturing Kagome to stand.

Kagome stood up with her mother and they watched as the wind blew through the Goshinboku, allowing a few Sakura pedals to fall, this accepting the prayer and putting an end the ceremony finally.

After everything was cleaned up, Kagome's mother came out with a camera. "Kagome, you look so beautiful in the dress, I want to take a few pictures."

"Okay mom, could you make 4 extras? I want to give them to my friends."

"Of course dear." Kagome's mother smiled as she positioned Kagome into a beautiful pose. The pose allowed the camera to get the best of Kagome's features in the dress.

Kagome smiled as sweetly as she could, knowing Inuyasha would be seeing this picture, she wanted to make it good.

Her mother took 2 shots and picked out the best, "They'll be ready in an hour. I'll give them to you before you leave."

Kagome smiled, "Thanks mom." With a hug from her mother, Kagome ran inside and up to her room. As much as she loved the geisha, she didn't want to get it ruined if they ran into a demon and had to fight. So she took off the dress and pulled out a black short mini skirt and a white tank top with the words, "I Love Dogs" printed in the middle. Kagome giggled as she pictured Inuyasha's face when he found out what it said. She brushed her coal black hair and put it up into a high pony tail. She put on some make up and slid on her shoes. She was ready for a night of celebration.

Once she was dressed and ready, Kagome's mother came in and handed her the pictures. "Thanks mom, I'll be on my way now and I'll be back in about a week or so."

Kagome's mother nodded and Kagome walked out of the house and towards the hokora. She pulled on her backpack and jumped into the well.

As she passed the lights, Kagome giggled to herself, remembering that she didn't forget the wine. She didn't know how much to bring or even what kind, she just grabbed 3 bottles and stuffed them into her bag. 'I knew I wouldn't get caught!'

When she reached the bottom of the well in Sengoku Jidai, she heard the voice of Inuyasha, "Damn...she needs to hurry the hell up."

"I'll hurry alright, but don't expect me to want your lap for a cushion again." Kagome giggled as she tossed her bag up and out of the well.

"Eh!" Inuyasha was startled by her words. He looked over and sat Kagome's hand come out of the well, followed by her arm. "Feh..." Inuyasha looked away, blushing at the memory of before.

Kagome grunted as she heaved herself out of the well and stood up, "Happy New Years Eve Inuyasha." Kagome smiled at him.

He looked over at her from the corner of his eyes, "Yeah yeah...now hurry up, you're going to miss the ceremony."

Kagome nodded and watched Inuyasha pick up her bag and they began to walk towards the village.
