Chapter 29: Wedding Day Inuko & Hakura (Panthers strike Part 1)

I don't think I slept at all last night, I've had such anxiety over my wedding. So stupid I know! God I'm so nervous, I rolled over in my bed and looked at my empty closet. This is it, the beginning of my new life, no more living in my home that I've lived in for the last 11 years, no more waking up to a sister whose shouting over something stupid, and no more eating my mother's home cooking. I sighed deeply and closed my eyes. Maybe I can get in another hour, it was only 7AM and the guys weren't meeting at uncle Miroku's until 10AM. The wedding starts at 1PM so we had time to dress and get ready. I opened my eyes and sighed again.

I wonder if Hakura and the girls are at our place getting ready, I don't know…I need to sleep for a bit! I closed my eyes again.

Knock.

Knock.

I sighed, great now what!

"Inuko honey, are you awake yet?" my mother's voice said through the door, she opened it and came in. I rolled over to my back and put my arm over my eyes.

"I'm awake, I couldn't sleep well last night!" I said to her. She smiled and looked around my empty room, she sat on my bed and looked at me.

"Everyone's downstairs I'm heading over to your place here in a bit, thought I'd come wake you," she said to me in a monotone voice. She was upset, I could tell, I know my mother's change in voice and when she's upset. She was defiantly holding back tears.

I sat up and looked at her.

"I'm so nervous you have no idea, I have so much anxiety I couldn't even sleep last night," I said to her, she smiled and touched my face.

"Oh my love, its normal for you to be nervous and have all this anxiety, don't you worry over anything this wedding is going to be wonderful," she said to me. Somehow, she always knew how to change my mood, it's like my mother has this magic ability to fix anything, I can't explain it. I felt a little bit of relief and let out a deep breath.

"I'll be downstairs, okay!" she said to me and tapped my face, I touched my hands over hers.

"Mom, thanks…" I said to her. She smiled again and leaned forward towards me and kissed my forehead.

"Now, get up you need to get ready!" she said to me again. I let out another deep breath as she stood up from my bed, she turned to the door and left my room.

"Here we go!" I said to myself and pulled the sheets off me.


"Aaah, mom come on we have to go, the photographer is meeting at Hakura's place…and the videographer too!" Kikyko said downstairs as mother came down the stairs. I could hear her voice all the way upstairs in the hallway, I tapped myself making sure I had everything I needed.

"The ring god I can't forget that!" I said and went back into my room again. I let out a deep breath and opened my nightstand drawer.

I opened the box and looked it.

It was a heart shaped diamond encrusted ring; the band of the ring was surrounded by small white diamonds. I smiled and closed the box, I pushed it in my jean pocket. I ended up using the savings I had to buy this ring, it costed half the price of my car, I mean it's worth it. I hope she likes it.

"Hoshiki better not lose this," I said and left my room again.

"Hehehhe, no way!" Kikyko said in the kitchen. It was only her and my mother in the kitchen with my grandmother Izayoi and Makoto my adorable little sister. I came down the stairs and looked at everyone gathered in our home.

"Well finally, we were going to head over to your uncles to get ready without you!" My father teased me. I shook my head and grumbled.

"Yeah yeah," I said to them. My uncle Miroku smiled at me as I came towards everyone. My uncle Miroku, what can I say about him, he's been in my life since I was born. He's really great, powerful, strong, wise and religious, I'm grateful he's preforming the ceremony for us today. I hope I don't screw up my vows and end up embarrassing myself. Ah crap!

"Can we go now please!" Kikyko chimed from the kitchen. Mother looked at her and smiled.

My grandmother laughed at Kikyko's childish behavior. I'm actually going to miss the brat and her childish personality, really…I won't wake up to her shouting, or teasing me or Hoshiki, or freaking out over a prank we pulled on her. I smiled and watched as grandma touched Kikyko's head and talked to her.

"Okay well have fun next-door boys and try not to get Inuko drunk before the wedding!" My mother said as Kikyko grabbed her arm, Makoto was on her other arm babbling loudly.

"Hahaha, we can't guarantee anything Kagome," father replied to her. I rolled my eyes and looked around the room Hoshiki, Koji and Yuki were in the living room practicing. Hoshiki had the wedding pillow in his hands, it'll carry the rings tied to a ribbon on them.

Yuki had the tray that will carry the two glasses of wine, and Koji's role he was to carry 4 envelopes with him, two with our vows in them, and the other two to give to our parents.

"BYE!" Kikyko shouted as my mom and sisters, and grandmother hurried to the door. We heard the door close behind them.

"Well let's get ready!" Kenta said to me, he touched my shoulder and smiled. Kenta, Reno and Hitoshi where my groomsmen, they were playing a very important role in my wedding. I relied on them, depend on them, and needed them throughout this entire ordeal. I was grateful to have such good friends as them.

I let out a deep breath and nodded.


"Wow, this room looks lovely!" Kikyko said coming into our bedroom. Our room was massive, it didn't only have a huge king sized bed, but a large walk-in closet, and huge bathroom, also two glass doors separated our bedroom from a second living space room, it also had a large balcony surrounding the outside of both rooms.

The bedroom and second room where filled with hanging garments, and flowers for the girls to carry.

"Kikyko good you're here," Hakura said sitting at her vanity, the hair and makeup artists where already there getting the girls ready. Mother came in after her and went over to Sango, and Rin.

"Hakura!" Kikyko said coming towards her. She beamed looking at Hakura as the makeup artist powdered her face.

"Good, you should get your hair and makeup done, as soon as Kira is done you go next okay!" Hakura said to her. Kikyko smiled and nodded excited.

"Good, this looks great!" Kira said looking herself over in the mirror. All the bride's maids where going to have similar hair styles, their hair was to be put up with hair extensions put in, and wrapped in a braided bun surrounded by flowers, red and white flowers. Decorations were intertwined within the braids that were gold. Hitomi and Rika looked at her through the mirror as the hair and makeup artists were finishing them up as well. Kira stood up and came towards Hakura.

"Let me see?" she said to her sister. Kira smiled and turned for her sister.

"Great it looks wonderful," Hakura said and smiled. Kira smiled and came around her sister towards Nina. Nina came with her brother's in the morning, while her parents got ready at their home. Jinenji and his wife were attending as well, I was excited to see them, we hadn't seen them in a long time. Koga and Ayami were coming with their boys and new baby, we were all excited for this too since we hadn't seen them in a year.

Kikyko sat down at the vanity in front of the ladies. One of them smiled and touched her hair.

"Your hair is so long and lovely, we won't need extensions for you young lady," the hair stylist said to her. Mother and Sango where in the bedroom getting their hair and makeup done as well. Makoto sat in mother's lap as they sat in front of the vanity in the bedroom.

"How about this little one what shall we do for her today?" a hair stylist said about Makoto. Kagome smiled and looked at her.

"She and her sister have matching kimono's so I'm thinking flowers in her hair just like her sister?" Kagome said to the hair stylist. She bent forward to Makoto and smiled.

"What a wonderful idea for this little one, how about we decorate your hair," she said to Mako holding up a flower to her. Mako looked at it and laughed.

"AAAAAHH!" Mako shouted excited. I wonder if she actually knows what's going on today, me getting married and moving out, Mako is still a baby so we don't really have a strong relationship yet. She doesn't talk or walk yet, so I hope she understands what's happening around her.

"Ah Miss Hakura," a man said standing near the door, he was with a woman who was the photographer, and another man who was one of the servers the catering company sent to provide service for the night. There was going to be 5 of them, their jobs where to walk around the tables pick up empty plates, fill drinks into cups, change out utensils, all that stuff servers normally do.

The girls pulled their robes together, Hakura turned around in her chair and looked at them.

"Ah, we are all set up downstairs ma'am when you are ready with your party," The man said at the door. Hakura smiled and nodded.

"The photographer can come in, I'd like some pictures taken while we get ready," she said gesturing with her hand for the lady with the camera to come in, she smiled and nodded to everyone as she entered the room.

"Ah yes ma'am, would you like for me to bring up the wine for your wedding party?" the server asked Hakura.

"Yes please!" Hakura smiled and said this, both men turned and headed back down the hallway. The photographer came over to Hakura, she smiled and explained to her how she'd like some before dress and final fitting shots to be done with her maids of honor and her brides' maids. The photographer smiled and went around the room snapping pictures.

The girls spent the entire morning nearly two hours getting hair and makeup done, Kikyko looked at the server as he and the man came around to all the women with trays in their hands.

"Kikyko try it, its strawberry wine," Hitomi said to Kikyko as she took a glass off the tray. Kikyko looked at the tray when the men bent down to her and held it out. She took a glass and looked at it.

"Yes Kikyko it has alcohol in it, you're old enough to try it… go ahead!" mother said to her as she came in to the next room. Kikyko looked at her and smiled. She looked at the glass and held it to her lips and took a sip of it. She then made this sour disgusted face. Mother and Aunt Sango laughed at her expression.

"Ehhh, gross!" Kikyko said, she then smiled and took another sip.

"Momma you look so pretty!" she said to her and put the glass down on the vanity.

"And your hair is so gorgeous, oh I love your hair like this, I used to always put your hair up like this when you were younger with flowers and ribbons," mother said touching Kikyko's shoulders. She smiled as Kikyko looked herself over in the mirror. She had makeup on her face and her hair was in a beautiful circular braid with flowers and decorations.

Makoto was sitting in the chair in the next room with our grandmother, she was still getting the final touches added to her short hair. Kikyko and my mother would look over through the glass doors at Makoto as she laughed and giggled while the ladies decorated her hair.

"Oh my girls look so beautiful!" my mother said and smiled.

"Oh dear god I'm so nervous," Hakura said in her chair as the hair stylist finished up her hair. She added the crown that will attach to the vail.

"Oh sweetheart your hair is so gorgeous, the first look between you and Inuko is going to be so magical," Sango said touching Hakura's shoulders. The girls smiled and gathered near her. She let out a deep breath and looked herself over again.


"Whew, man am I nervous!" I said in Miroku's house, he has a huge guest room that's where we were getting ready. The guys fixed their ties and adjusted them, I let out a deep breath and looked over at Hoshiki and the boys, they were near the tables practicing their roles again.

"Why are you so nervous son?" my grandfather said to me, he touched my shoulder and chuckled. I let out a deep breath.

"Why do you think, I'm getting married!" I said to him, Kenta and Reno laughed and came towards me.

"Why worry just think about tonight after the wedding bro….you are so getting laid! HAHAHAHHA!" Kenta laughed tapping my shoulder. I scowled at him, my father and uncle's both laughed at this as well.

"I hope you choke on that wine Kenta," I hissed at him and adjusted my tie. He laughed and shook his head at me. I went over to the mirror and let out a deep breath. I was mumbling to myself remembering what I was going to say for my vows when I felt my father's hands touch my shoulders.

"Hey, do you need to talk?" he asked me, watching me as I tried to figure out how to tie a tie, I know how to tie a tie, just my brain wasn't thinking at that moment. I let out a deep breath and turned to him. He smiled at me and touched my tie.

"Here, I'll help you with that!" he said to me, as he started to make my tie actually look like a long hanging tie. I let out another deep breath.

"No I'm fine," I said answering his question. He smiled and touched my head.

"I'm really proud of you, really…. getting married, I'm happy you are, you finally get to experience the life I've always wanted you to experience. True happiness," my father said to me. I smiled and adjusted my shirt.

"SAKE BOYS! Traditional wedding sake," my uncle said as a man one of the catering company servers came into our room with small shot glasses filled with sake. Great, alcohol the hardest kind there is.

"Blessed holy sake from the temple," he said again as the man came towards me.

"Hehehhe, try it bro come on it's the strongest sake out there, we're all demons here…. Sort of, we can handle our liquor," Reno said looking at Hitoshi. Hitoshi shook his head at him.

"Hey I can drink and hold my own, sort of! Okay shut it Reno!" he said to Reno, he was remembering the night we went out and got so drunk, well he did after two drinks…. took us a while to get a buzz out of it. It was the worst night ever, none of us could drive home, my father refused to come get us, and we ended up renting a hotel room. Guess where we rented, because of how stupid drunk we were I booked a love hotel room, yes in the 'love hotel' made for couples.

Oh my fucking god, I didn't realize it until we got to the hotel room and the lady at the counter looked at us surprised and thought we were all gay. She asked if we were a damn wedding party and if either one of us, or all of us where married to each other. Do you see the problem here? Fuck it was a nightmare from hell.

The room had one massive king-sized bed, there was 4 of us, all of us big built muscular men, trying to fit on one god damn king-sized bed. It was a nightmare and by morning after our buzz was gone, when we came downstairs, the staff was waiting to greet us. THEY SERIOUSLY THOUGHT WE WERE FUCKING GAY! Like what the hell. It was the worst drunk experience of my entire life, oh and get this, the worst part my own father locks me out of my home. I seriously had to climb up my house, well jump up to my balcony window to get into my room.

Man was he pissed when he got a hold of me. I was 16, we went out and got so drunk, we called him, he hangs up on us, and when he got a hold of me…let's just say my father's not nice when he's angry. I think if he could've, he would've whopped my ass, but instead I was grounded and forced into hard manual labor for a damn week. His punishment would've probably been considered child abuse if anyone actually did find out, but no…. moving his car by hand down the drive way, cutting firewood and hauling it to the shed myself, cleaning out the garage including all our cars. I would've accepted my ass being beat but nooooooo hard labor was his way of punishing us.

"Aguh!" I said and let out another deep breath. Hitoshi laughed with the boys as the sake made its way towards them. Reno held up his glass to the air.

I turned around and looked at the guys holding my glass.

"Bro, I have something I need to say. We've known each other since we were kids playing in our small village, I think the first time I meet you was when I threw a ball at your sister… Kikyko and knocked her into the water. Man were you pissed, I swear I thought you were going to kill me," Reno said thinking about this. Kenta laughed hard remembering this as well, he shook his head and touched his brothers' shoulder.

"Hahahahah and us freaking out over the fact that Kikyko couldn't swim, man Inuko when you dove into that water after her, we thought for sure your father was going to whoop our ass." Kenta chuckled and laughed.

"Yeah well if you two weren't so fucking stupid as kids that wouldn't have happened," Inuko said to them shaking his head.

"Damn right I would have whooped your asses," my father said as he and my uncles laughed at Reno's speech.

"Hahaha as I was saying, no matter how much shit we got in to or how many times we got in to trouble," Reno started to say again. He laughed and shook his head.

"You were still our best friend and our brother, and I'm honored and happy for you to be married and to be your best man. It's about time don't you think?" Reno said again. The guys held their glasses to the air and cheered.

"Jerks!" I said as we all took the shot of sake in one go.

"Oh and this time for the love of god, if you and Hakura rent a hotel room, make sure you're not so fucking drunk that you rent in a love hotel," Hitoshi said remind us of or drunk night. I rolled my eyes and growled at him.

"WE ARE NOT RENTING A HOTEL ROOM, AND WHY WOULD YOU BRING THAT UP!" I shouted at him. Everyone went silent for a moment as if they too where remembering our drunk night, they laughed hard afterwards.

Hoshiki, Koji and Yuki looked over at us. They laughed too.


"Wow!" all the girls said as Kikyko was dressed in her kimono. A lady was hired from the bridal store, who specialized in dressing women in Kimono's. She was adjusting Kikyko's obe and tightening it around her.

"I haven't even seen this yet oh wow it's so gorgeous, with the Obi it matches everyone else's kimonos as well." Hakura said touching the fabric on Kikyko's sleeves. Kikyko looked herself over in the mirror and smiled.

Another lady who came with the women as well was fixing Kira's kimono, and preparing her Obi.

"Oh so lovely, all you girls look so great!" Hakura said as the photographer came around snapping picks of the kimono's and the girls dressing.

"Ma'am after we are done with the kimono's we have to get you into your dress," the ladies said to Hakura, she smiled and nodded. Our mothers, Rin and my grandmother were dressing in kimono's as well, mothers of the groom and bride usually dress in a solid white kimono. Aunt Sango and my mother found matching kimono's they were white with floral print on them, the obi's where white with gold and red floral to match the theme as well. Hakura smiled and blushed looking at everyone in the room. Makoto was being dressed by my mother in a kimono that was exactly similar to the one Kikyko is wearing. Since she was a baby her obi was a small little thick tie that tied to the back.

Nina smiled and touched her face. She looked herself over in the mirror and put the necklace around her neck, Rin saw her do this and smiled. She came over towards Nina and bent down to her.

"Do you like that necklace?" Rin asked her and helped her clasp the necklace around her neck. Nina blushed and turned to her.

"Hoshiki got it for me, and…. it's so lovely," she said with a deep rosy face. My mother heard her say that and came towards her.

"Huh Hoshiki got you a necklace, when?" my mother said bending down to her. Nina blushed and held her hands to her face.

"OOOhhh I don't know, but I like it," she stuttered in her hands. Rin smiled at my mother and gestured her hand for her. My mother stood up and followed Rin back towards my aunt and grandmother. She told them about how she planned the entire thing, buying gifts for each one of them so that they would fall for eachother. My mother laughed hard at this and shook her head.

"This whole time I seriously thought she bought him that bow tie…." My mother laughed again.

"…. And Rin why are you hooking my son up with Nina?" my mother laughed again and shook her head.

"Why not, they make such an adorable couple and Hoshiki has liked Nina for a while now…." Rin said smiling she looked over at Nina as she came around the room and over to Kikyko. Kikyko looked at her and smiled. My mother thought about that for a moment then smiled.

"Actually now that I think of it, yeah he does like her…however he's never said anything to any of us about her," my mother said looking at Nina.

"Wow Kikyko you look so lovely!" Nina said looking at Kikyko as she twirled in the mirror. Kikyko laughed and touched Nina's head.

"Thank you, so do you…" she said to her. Nina smiled and walked around the room talking to Hitomi, Rika and Kira. Kikyko blushed and lifted up the necklace Yamatoo gave her, she looked at it and put it around her neck. Kikyko blushed and smiled looking herself over, she held up her phone and took a pick of herself in the mirror and blushed again.

"Thank you for the necklace, its beautiful," Kikyko typed out and sent Yamatoo a message of her in her dress. She smiled and turned to Hakura. Yamatoo didn't have his phone on him while we were getting ready, he didn't realize Kikyko sent him a message.

"Alright, let's get the bride dressed!" the ladies said coming towards the garment back.

It had taken the bridal ladies, Kikyko, Kira, Hitomi and Rika about 20 minutes to dress Hakura in her large round lavish dress. I haven't seen it yet, I don't think anyone has, but it was absolutely breathtaking. It was a heart cut v-line, strap dress, the top of the dress… all of it was covered in sparkle and small round little crystals. The straps had a line of white flowers on them covering the bust line and the v-line that cuts down the middle.

The bottom was a round fluffy front opened dress with long train. It was cut into two long fabric slits down the front, the dress is to be worn two different ways, the wedding ceremony she's wearing the entire dress as one piece. For the dance the bottom part opens and separates from the dress to reveal a thin slender long dress covered in white flowers.

Hakura looked herself in the mirror and blushed, Kira bent down to her sister helping her with her shoes.

"Ohhhh Hakura," Sango said looking at her, she tried to hold back from tears. She touched Hakura's shoulder and came around her.

"Mom don't…. don't you start crying now, if you cry I'll cry…" Hakura said looking at her mother, she started to take in a few deep breaths, so she didn't cry herself. Kikyko reached up to Hakura's crown and helped Hitomi attach the long veil.

"I won't cry…oh but you look so beautiful!" Sango said to her, Hakura bent forward and hugged her mother. Kikyko smiled and took a picture of Hakura in her dress, the wedding photographer was snapping picks as Hakura's final touches where completed to the dress and her veil.

"Can we all take a picture together?" Hakura said to everyone in the room. Grandmother held Makoto to her arms and smiled looking Hakura over.

"Before we do, may I say something?" grandmother said to Hakura coming around my mother towards her.

"Hakura, I know I may not know you well… and haven't seen you grow up or seen Inuko grow up…. but I was given this opportunity…." My grandmother said touching a hand to Kikyko's face. Kikyko smiled at her and reached for her sister. She took Makoto from grandmother's arms and held her close to her face cuddling her.

"….to be at my grandsons wedding, and all I have to say…is all of you are so wonderful, and please Hakura, take good care of my grandson," she said to her. Hakura turned to her and smiled.

"Thank you… so much, I'm glad you were giving this opportunity as well, don't worry I'll take good care of Inuko," Hakura said to her, Hitomi took her hand and helped her down from the small stage they had in the second room.

"WHEWWW…." Hakura said and let out a deep breath.

"I think I'm ready," she said again and let out another deep breath. Sango quickly touched a hand to her face and dried the tear that formed in her eye, she smiled and touched Hakura's veil adjusting it.

"Kikyko, sweetie…. Could you do me a favor?" Hakura said to her. Kikyko smiled and came towards her.

"Yes of course," she said, Hakura smiled and touched Makoto's face, she was smiling and babbling.

"I have a white envelope over there in the bedroom on the bedside table, it's for Inuko….the driver is downstairs, he'll take you over… please could you take it to him?" she said to her. Kikyko smiled and nodded. Mother took Makoto from her arms, Kikyko turned to our bedroom, she opened the glass doors and went over to the bedside table, she picked up the envelope and looked at it. A smile touched her face, she came back through the room to Hakura.

"I'll take it over now, I'll see everyone in a bit!" she said to Hakura. Hakura touched her face and pulled her to her body.

"Thank you Kikyko, so much!" she said to her. Kikyko smiled and carefully pulled her arms around Hakura. Before Kikyko left the wedding, photographer took a large picture of everyone in the room outside on our large balcony.

Kikyko smiled and pulled the letter to her kimono.

"The first reveal will be outside, so I'll be back before then," Kikyko said to Hakura.

"Thank you!" she said to her again. Kikyko smiled and left the room closing the door behind her.


"Hmm hmmm hmm," Kikyko hummed as she left our house, a driver of our white Citreon Traction 11 decorated car was downstairs waiting near the car. Kikyko looked at the old vintage car and smiled. It was an old classic style car; father loves these types of cars. Uncle Miroku has two vintage cars like this and two real fast race cars as well. My uncle Sesshomaru loves things that are old and ancient too. The car was a beast and beautiful.

"Miss are you delivering the wedding letters?" the driver asked holding the door opened for Kikyko, she smiled and nodded.

"Ah great, I shall take you over," the man said as Kikyko carefully pulled herself into the white back seat of the car. She looked at the interior as the man closed the door. We rented this car last minute; we were going to use dad's red Camaro but father rented this car for us as a surprise. It was decorated with flowers and the driver also came with the car.

"You look very lovely young one," the driver said to Kikyko she smiled at him.

"Thank you! I'm really happy for my brother and Hakura, they've waited so long for this…." Kikyko said adjusting her kimono, she tapped her sleeves and held her hands to her lap. The man pulled out of our large driveway our metal gates opened as he pulled out away from our home.

Kikyko smiled watching the road as the driver drove for five minutes through the woods and out to the highway, he pulled from the highway and crossed it to my uncles' home.

"Hahah, it's nice that the home isn't far," the driver said as the gate to my uncles' home opened. There were so many people bustling in our yard finishing the final touches, our back yard hedges where being draped with white twill, and our yard, the large screens were being tested, the tables where being filled with plates and utensils and the videographer was preparing for our arrival.

Kikyko carefully pulled herself from our car, the driver bowed to her as he closed the door behind her.

"I shouldn't be long," she said to him. He smiled at her and nodded. Kikyko hurried to the front door, it was unlocked, she opened my uncle's large mansion door and helped herself in. She smiled looking around the house, she could hear us on the main level, she giggled and made her way through the home to the second large living room we were using to dress in. We were all ready and dressed, our final touches where the flowers on our lapel.

Knock.

Knock.

My father came towards the door, we were loud, talking and laughing… he reached for the handle and opened the door.

"Woah…. Will you look who I found here!" father said looking at Kikyko. He smiled and took her hand twirling her around. Kikyko smiled and blushed.

"You look absolutely beautiful Kikyko, I knew that kimono was perfect," father said to her looking her over. Kikyko held a hand to her face and blushed again.

"Hi daddy, I have to deliver this to Inuko," Kikyko said at the door holding the envelope out. My father looked at her and smiled.

"Come on let her in," I said to my dad. He chuckled and stepped aside. Kikyko came around father and entered the room.

"WHOOOOO HOOOO," everyone shouted at Kikyko. Yamatoo looked at her and dropped his glass his face blushed rosy. Uncle Sesshomaru touched his shoulder and chuckled.

"Wow," Yamatoo said admiring Kikyko. I think he took in a deep breath and forgot to breath when he saw her. This made me laugh when I diverted my eyes to him then back to Kikyko.

"I don't think your breathing Yamatoo," my uncle said to him. Kikyko blushed holding a hand to her face as everyone whistled at her.

"Damn! Ah huh ah sorry I'll clean it up!" Yamatoo said after a few moments when he realized he dropped his wine glass. We all looked at him and laughed. He really does love her doesn't he.

"STOP IT!" she said nervous she blushed even more. Honestly, I think I'm going to miss Kikyko probably more than my parents, even though I'll be across the road, I won't be there for her anymore you know. I won't be able to see her every morning, annoy her, she won't piss me off…. we won't talk anymore or tell eachother our secrets. I looked at her as everyone came towards her, my father kissed her cheek, Kenta and Reno teased her, like usual… and Yamatoo just stared at her.

I watched Yamatoo as his eyes admired her, he looked her over, he looked awe struck, I mean yeah, my sister's gorgeous. I love when she dresses in kimonos, mother always used to dress her this way when we were younger. She'd put her hair up with flowers in them and dress her in colorful bright kimonos. She really looks like a young grown lady…. women I should say.

I smiled and came over towards her, everyone was literally gathered around her, Kikyko was giggling and blushing so much that her cheeks had this permeant redness to them.

"Woah sis you look so beautiful," Hoshiki said to Kikyko she touched his head and smiled.

"Aaagh everyone's making me nervous, I have to give Inuko this letter then I have to head back…." Kikyko said still blushing. I smiled and looked at her.

"Well…?" I said bending forward to her, she smiled and reached into her obi, she held out the letter to me.

"Thanks brat, by the way… you look nice!" I said teasing her. She huffed and puffed out her cheeks, I smiled and took the envelope from her.

"Heheh okay my jobs done for now, letter delivered," Kikyko said. She turned towards father and was about to leave when I stopped her.

"HANG ON, you're not done yet!" I said to her, I came over to a small round table next to the couch and picked up my letter for Hakura.

"Aguh, I have to head back, we're doing the first reveal soon…or do you not want to see Hakura?" she huffed and crossed her arms. Everyone chuckled and laughed. I came over to her and held out my letter to Kikyko. She smiled and took it from me.

"Give this to Hakura, then…I think we're ready, we'll be over in about 20 minutes," I said to her. She smiled and looked me over. I bent forward and kissed her on the cheek. She blushed again.

"Agh, stop making me nervous, okay I'm going now!" she said pushing the letter into her obi. I smiled watching her as she headed to the door. She closed it behind her, and she was gone. I let out a deep breath, this is it… after this point I get to see Hakura and we…. finally become husband and wife. My father touched my shoulder to get my attention. I smiled at him and noticed I was still holding Hakura's letter in my hand.

"I'll be right back!" I said to everyone. I turned to a separate part of the room uncle Miroku uses for an office. Everyone chatted, laughed and talked with each other while I disappeared into the room to read the letter.

"Wow!" Yamatoo said to himself after a few moments.

"She looks great doesn't she," my uncle said to him touching his shoulder again. Yamatoo nodded and turned to his father.

I let out a deep breath and sat down in the chair at my uncles' desk. I ripped opened the letter with my claw and pulled it from the envelope. I opened it and smiled.

Inuko,

My love… you are the most amazing and best person I have ever meet in my life. I didn't ever think you'd choose me to be your wife. Out of all the girls in our village I was the one you felt attracted too. I remember the first time you tried to completement me. Oh it was so cute, you were 8 and I was wearing a new kimono and all you said to me was, 'uh nice kimono it matches your hair,' I remember that so well. Your nervous expression and your rosy cheeks.

I fell inlove with you that day Inuko, and I didn't think that from that point on we'd be together. We are eachothers best friends, we know eachother so well, I'm so happy and thankful to have you in my life. As your wife I will do my duty to take care of you, support you and provide you a happy home. Also lots of children since our parents are literally begging for grandchildren.

Don't worry I'll make sure to feed them and take care of them as well, if they piss me off in any way, shape or form I'm sending them to your parents.

Other than that… you are amazing and a wonderful man, smart, strong and just perfect to me. I love you very much and I can't wait to be your wife.

My love, thank you!

Hakura

I smiled and let out a deep breath, man she can write, me… I'm so bad with words I mean heck she's right I told her, her kimono matched her hair. Like why would I say that, what normal person would tell a girl they like that their clothes matched their hair…god I was so stupid, I was so nervous around her all the time, and never knew what to say to her. But she never left my side, she was always there with me, and I'm so thankful to have her in my life. I pushed the letter back into the envelope and got up.

Before I could come around the table, Hoshiki came into the room. I looked at him curious, he came over to me and ran a hand through his long hair, we all pulled our hair into ponytails.

"Hoshiki what's wrong buddy?" I said bending down to him. He smiled and looked at me.

"We're gathering downstairs," he said. He looked as if he was trying his hardest not to cry. I smiled and touched his head.

"Listen Hoshiki, there's something I need to tell you…. you are now the man of the house; I mean yeah dad is…. But you now must take care of mom, and Kiki and Mako. When dad's at work or away, your role now is to be the man….to stand up and face anyone who comes near them," I said to Hoshiki he looked at me and smiled.

"I'm not as strong as you are or as strong and powerful as dad," he said touching my head. I chuckled and rubbed his head.

"That doesn't matter, you're the man now…. your job is to make sure no one ever hurts Kiki or Mako, and to make sure mom always smiles," I told him again. He smiled and nodded.

"I will Inuko, so are you going to get married or what?" he teased and pulled my hand from his head. I smiled and stood up. I let out a deep breath, Hoshiki looked at me then turned around and ran out of the office, I followed behind him and closed the office door behind me.

Now to see my bride! Here we go!


"Oh Kikyko great your back," Hakura said in her room. She was sitting in a white chair looking herself over again. Everyone had left the room and gathered downstairs ready for us to meet outside for our reveal. Hakura let out a deep breath as Kikyko came around her. By this point we were gathering in the cars to head over to our home to pick up Hakura and meet for the first time…the first look. Man I'm so nervous!

"Inuko has something for you," she said holding out an envelope. Hakura looked at it and smiled.

"Hakura…" she said to her when Hakura took the letter. She looked at her.

"Yes?" she said touching Kikyko's hands.

"Thank you….for being in my brother's life, please take good care of him," Kikyko said trying to hold back her tears. Hakura touched her face.

"Kikyko….I love your brother so much, he's so wonderful, don't you worry….I'll make sure he's well taken care of," she said to her. Kikyko leaned forward and kissed her cheek.

"Do you want me to wait for you?" she asked her. Hakura nodded and ripped open the envelope, Kikyko smiled and stepped away from Hakura, she turned to the small table in the room and sat down on the chair near the table, she waited on Hakura to read the letter.

Hakura,

My princess… wow you have no idea how nervous I am! You know I can't write things as well as you do or express my feelings to well….I get nervous around you. Yeah, I know we've known eachother so long I shouldn't be this way, but I am. You make me this way, every time I see you, look at you… kiss you, my heart stops. I just get flustered and don't know how to express myself. Heck you even gave me my first kiss when I was 9, man was it scary. But I think that's when I first fell in love with you, you pinned me to the side of the house and said 'listen since you are too dumb to be a man and make a move, then I'm going to kiss you,' and you did… in front of the guys. Ah and after that point I liked you even more.

Hakura, you're my best friend…the only women I've ever loved and ever will love. No one else will never come into my life but you. We talk about everything, share everything, even argued and disagreed many times. But your still with me, by my side every day. From now on as your husband my job is to take care of you, provide for you, protect you and above all threat you as the queen you are. You are my life now and there's nothing in this world more special to me then you.

I love you,

I can't wait for us to be married.

Inuko.

Hakura smiled and let out a deep breath.

"Are you okay Hakura?" Kikyko said noticing her touch her hand to her eyes.

"Yes I'm okay," she said pushing the letter back into the envelope. She shifted to her feet and put the letter down on the table near her. Kikyko smiled and stood up, she came towards Hakura and took her hand.

"Here, let me help you, the dress is so big you could trip!" Kikyko said and smiled. Hakura looked at her and touched her face.

"You are so special," she said to her. She let out a deep breath and bent down, she picked up her dress. Kikyko took her arm and helped her out of the room, holding her train up with her hand as Hakura made her way through the hallway.

"Okay, here we go! Let's do this," Hakura said coming down the stairs.

We all had gathered outside in our front yard, our large round circular driveway, my mother and aunt Sango looked so great. My father hugged my mother, kissed her and even twirled her around admiring her. Makoto looked so adorably cute, my grandmother held her in her arms cuddling her, my grandfather looked at all of us, he looked happy and proud. I smiled watching him, then I diverted my eyes to the photographer who was near me trying to get my attention.

"Sir, sir.." she said and smiled. I looked at her.

"Okay if I could get all the grooms' men and the brides' maids to these areas please," the photographer said. The guys stood in front of me far from me, they were cheering and chiming a chant. The girls where behind me, I could tell because I could hear them laugh, giggle, and chatter. I turned around so I was facing the guys. My parents, I should say our parents…. gathered near the cars.

"I haven't even seen Hakura yet," I heard my uncle Miroku say near Sango. I tilted my head to him; I hadn't realized at this point Kikyko and Hakura had come around the house.

"WOW," Miroku said and clapped. Everyone cheered and clapped loudly. I held a hand to my chest and let out a deep breath. Man I want to turn around so bad right now. The videographer was near us recording this moment. I heard Hakura behind me, she tapped my shoulder.

I let out a deep breath and turned around to face her. She smiled this gorgeous smile, I looked her over and I think my heart stopped.

"Hi," she said and smiled.

"Wow," I grabbed her and pulled her to me. I hugged her so tight, I swear she looked like an angel in white, so gorgeous. I'm so lucky! I can't believe I'm getting married, to Hakura…to this gorgeous angel with brown hair and these big brown eyes.

"Ooohhhh," Kikyko giggled and beamed a big smile. Yamatoo looked at her, he came around his father towards her, she was near the girls jumping in her spot watching us. I smiled and softly kissed Hakura on the lips.

"WOOOOOO WOOOO, YEAH!" everyone shouted and chimed, the videographer was around us capturing our moment, there was even drones in the air as well. I could hear them, but I didn't care. I couldn't stop looking at Hakura and her dress. Wow!

"Alright if I could get all the brides' maids and grooms men gathered for photos please," the photographer chimed in. Yamatoo looked at the photographer then to Kikyko, he let out a deep sigh, Kikyko smiled and followed Hitomi, Rika and Kira.

"Man," Yamatoo said rubbing his head. He turned and followed the guys as well. I smiled and took Hakura by the hand, we followed the photographer to where she wanted us for some shots.

"WOW, Hakura…" Miroku said watching her. He smiled and pulled his arm over Sango's shoulders.

"She looks absolutely radiant and beautiful," Sango said with a deep sigh. We spent about an hour taking pictures with our family members, the videographer recorded everything as well, and the drone that was overhead was recording shots of our homes including the wooded area, the cars and all of us.

"I think it's about time, you two get married!" Miroku said coming towards us. He smiled and took Hakura's hand, she looked at her father and smiled. He bent forward and kissed her cheek.

I smiled and nodded, we all piled into our cars, my parents had left a little bit after all the photos were taken, our family was coming, and they wanted to greet them. Aunt Sango, and my grandparents had gone with them as well. Miroku stayed so that he would be the one to walk Hakura down the aisle.

I let out a deep breath as the driver pulled out of our gate, Hakura smiled at me and took my hand. I looked at her and smiled.

"You look so amazing," I leaned into her and whispered this. Her face blushed and she touched her hand to my face.

"You are so handsome…." She said to me as well. I smiled and kept my eyes on her. I leaned in a little more to her and touched her face. I pressed my face to the side of her face, "what are you wearing under there, I'm actually curious…." I said to her and pulled myself away from her. Her hands touched her face and she blushed.

"STOP THAT! Gosh, you'll see tonight…" she huffed and crossed her arms. I chuckled and laughed at her appearance. The driver smiled as he pulled in to Miroku's large estate. Hakura looked at me as the car parked.

"So…I guess it's time for us to get married huh? Or you know we could skip all this and just have our honeymoon," I said and crossed my arms, I rolled my eyes to the cars roof and smiled.

"Like I said before you can sleep by yourself for your honeymoon, so…. now let's get married and maybe later I'll let you undress me!" she said to me and nodded. Miroku opened her door and extended his hand for her. I smiled and shook my head I opened the door as well and got out.


"Welcome I'm so glad you could all make it today for our son's wedding," my mother said near the large bay doors. She was greeting guests as they were coming through Miroku's home. We had so many people coming, people from our village, friends of our parents, Jinenji and his wife, Koga, Ayame and his family, Shippou my adopted brother and Yukiko. Kohaku and Magumi and their son had arrived just as we pulled in, Sota and Hitomi along with my grandparents were there early, wow I hadn't realized how many people knew us…. or knew my parents.

"Sir, you must leave your bride and come with us, you are too meet with guests the groom's men will be with the bride's maids before the entrance of the bride," A young gentleman said this to me. I was distracted by the people gathering outside near the alter that I didn't even notice him. Miroku chuckled and touched my shoulder.

"Oh huh oh sorry!" I said to the young man. He was with the wedding team, the photographer and the videographer, he was in charge of making sure we all knew what we were doing and when we were to walk the aisle.

"Oh yeah right!" I said and looked to Hakura. She smiled standing by the car, I came over towards Hoshiki and Nina.

"Hey you two, don't lose these please," I said to Hoshiki bending down to him, he held the pillow in his hands and the two rings where tied to the pillow. He smiled and touched his bowtie.

"Don't worry I won't," he said to me. Nina smiled, she held a small basket with flower petals in her hands, she and Hoshiki where to walk the aisle first before any of us, I would be second then the brides maids and my grooms men, then Yuki and Koji with the letters for our parents and the wholly wine. Then Hakura…. And that would be the moment at that exact moment when my bride walks down the aisle I will be married.

I let out a deep breath and stood up I touched Hoshiki's head, the boy gestured with his hand for me to follow him. Hoshiki and Nina followed me and the boy.

"ALRIGHT everyone please, if I could get the grooms men and bride's maids together please. We will follow the flower girl and ring bearer and the room in a couple of minutes." The photographer said, behind me. As I made my way through the house the glass doors where closed, Shippou and Sota where near the doors standing in front of them ready to open them when we were ready to start.

I saw my mother and aunt Sango stand up and come towards the small stage. My mother held a microphone in her hands and was giving a speech, I couldn't make out what she was saying, I was so nervous, my mind wasn't thinking. I was trying to remember my vows and what I wanted to say to Hakura that I couldn't comprehend much of anything.

"Hehehe, this is so exciting," Rika said slipping her hand through Kenta's arm. She held her flowers in her other hand and awkwardly adjusted her kimono around her body. Hitomi and Reno smiled and talked behind me. Hoshiki and Nina were chatting and being loud, they stood in front of me near the doors, I looked at them then tilted my head to my friends behind me.

"I'm so excited for this, Hitoshi we should pick a wedding date soon! Maybe a winter wedding?" Kira said to him. He smiled and kissed her head then nodded.

"Winter huh…. Interesting!" Hitoshi said to her and smiled.

"Kikyko wow, you look absolutely beautiful," Yamatoo said holding Kikyko's hand to the air, he twirled her and admired her. She blushed and giggled.

"Thank you, you look very nice too Yamatoo," she giggled again, and her face blushed a rosy color. He bent forward towards her and softly touched her face; he pressed his lips to hers and that's when I heard everyone whistle and cheer.

"Hahahah, we knew you couldn't resist, hahahha…." Kenta laughed and teased Yamatoo.

"Hey stop it!" Kikyko hissed at everyone, Yamatoo chuckled and adjusted his tie, he extended his arm to Kikyko. She smiled and slipped her hand into his arm, she held her flowers in her other hand and smelt them. Yamatoo kept looking at her admiring her, I guess he's never seen her so traditional so lady like before.

"I'm so nervous," Hakura said near her father. Miroku touched her hands and looked at her.

"Hakura my love, my precious daughter…I'm so proud of you for taking this step in your life. I love being married to the women I love, I love my life, my children and being able to experience everything in life with your mother. Day by dad my daughter you will grow and experience new things with your husband, I am thankful and glad Inuko choose you…. and you choose him," Miroku said to Hakura and touched her face. She tried her best not to cry, she held her hand to her face and let out a deep breath.

"Hey no tears okay, none of that now!" Miroku said tapping her cheek. She smiled and let out a deep breath. I let out a deep breath near the doors, Shippou smiled and looked at us as music started to play, it wasn't the traditional wedding song yet, that would be for Hakura's entrance, it was a simple beautiful piano music played by one of our family members.

The man who built the harp for Kikyko, Mr. Yochiro he was a musician he built a lot of the musical instruments for our school we had in our village, when our school burnt down we lost all of our instruments and the entire building. He built Kikyko's harp so that she would be able to continue practicing… and I'm so glad he did.

Sota and Shippou opened the doors. Hoshiki and Nina smiled.

"Our turn!" Hoshiki said to Nina, she smiled and held the basket firmly in her hands. Nina went first with Hoshiki next to her, she started down the long pathway sprinkling red rose petals on the ground. I smiled looking at them. Hoshiki held the pillows on his hands and smiled as he made his way with Nina to the alter. They climbed up the small stairs to the stage and stood near the alter. Yuki and Koji where behind them, Yuki held the letter's in his hands that we would give to our parents, and Koji held the wholly wine. They smiled as they made their way down the aisle and to their posts. Koji was going to stand next to the alter near his father so Miroku could hand us the wine. Yuki stood near Hoshiki smiling.

I let out a deep breath, now it was my turn. Man, there's so many people at least 50 or 70 people. Gosh everyone's here and looking at me. I touched my suit and tie making sure I looked decent and nothing was out of place, Shippou chuckled and came towards me.

"Come on Inuko, your holding up the wedding party!" Kenta said behind me. I held my hand up to him and gave him the finger, everyone laughed hard behind me. I let out a deep breath. Shippou laughed and looked me over.

"Hey your turn bro!" he said to me. I stepped out to the white path and made my way down the aisle. As I passed Shippou and Sota they touched my shoulder and smiled, everyone clapped and cheered as I made my way towards the alter. I came towards the stage and ascended the steps to where I need to stand. I turned around and looked at everyone.

Shippou and Sota held the doors open for everyone else, I smiled as Kenta and Rika came down the aisle, Reno and Hitomi followed, then Hitoshi and Kira. They made their way down the aisle, the boys separated from the girls and came towards me, they stood behind me while the girls stood near the alter at the other side. Kikyko and Yamatoo where the last to come down the aisle, the doors closed behind them. Mom and dad looked at Kikyko and smiled, I think mom held her phone out recording everyone…don't see why she would she'd get a wedding video. I smiled at her and shook my head noticing her do this.

That's when the music changed, Mr. Yochiro looked at me and smiled as he started playing the traditional wedding song.

"Heeeewww…." Hakura said near the doors. Miroku looked at her and smiled, he tapped her hand against his arm.

"I'm so nervous father there's so many people out there, all of our families have come today," she said to her father holding her bouquet in her hands. The photographer adjusted her train and her veil behind her.

"There is Hakura, because all these people are here for you and Inuko, they've known all of you since your birth," Miroku said trying to comfort Hakura.

"Oh gosh I think I'm going to cry," she said holding the flowers to her face. The photographer smiled and came around her to the doors.

"Are you ready miss?" the photographer said to her. Shippou and Sota stood near the doors ready for their que.

"Yes I think so!" she said and let out a deep breath. Miroku smiled and turned to her.

"Here, this needs to be down," he said pulling her partial veil over her crown, so it hung over her face.

"Okay I think I'm ready," Hakura said letting out another deep breath, that's when Shippou and Sota opened the doors. I smiled watching her, god she looked more beautiful than when I first laid eyes on her during the reveal. Jeez I really hope I don't cry in front of everyone. Everyone stood for Hakura, most holding out camera's and their phones. Ayame and Koga smiled and cheered with everyone else as they watched Miroku and Hakura. Hakura let out a deep breath and took a step out to the white fabric.

"Ohhhhh Hakura you look so wonderful," Ayame said and let out a deep sigh. Koga chuckled at her.

Miroku smiled and touched her hand as he led her down the aisle. My aunt Sango held a cloth to her eyes, she was crying I could hear her, my mother smiled and rubbed her shoulders trying to calm her. Really I'm doing my hardest not to cry here.

"Wow," I said as Miroku led her towards me. She ascended the stairs and looked at me, Miroku pulled up her veil and kissed her forehead. He smiled and touched my hand pulling our hands together. He then came around me to the alter.

"Well that was the hardest thing I had to do today, was walking Hakura down the aisle," he said tapping his religious book against the small pedestal. I smiled looking at Hakura. Her cheeks where so rosy, wow…she looks good all dolled up. At that moment nothing seemed to matter, it was me and here on that stage, together… I didn't even notice anyone around us. My mother was crying my aunt Sango was doing her best to contain herself, and I could even hear both my grandmothers sigh happily. My dad smiled holding Makoto in his arms watching us. He would rub my mother's back trying to calm her, and just shake his head at her.

"I thank everyone and welcome you all to this wonderful ceremony, binding Hakura and Inuko together in holy matrimony," Miroku said opening his Buddhist book. Hakura looked at her father and smiled.

"Today I give away my daughter to my new son-in-law Inuko Taisho," Miroku said again. I smiled and looked at him as he read a Buddhist prayer from his book. After he finished reading from the book he turned to Koji and extended his hands for the two glasses. Koji smiled and reached the tray up to his father.

"These wines have been blessed by the monks who join us here today from the Meehan temple," Miroku said holding the glasses out to us. I took one and so did Hakura. I hadn't realized there were monks at the wedding, I looked around and noticed three monks standing and preying behind Miroku.

"Please," Miroku said to us again. We took a drink from the wine glasses, we had to take it in one go and finish the wine, I watched Hakura as she lifted the glass to her mouth. We tapped the glasses together when we finished and handed them back to Miroku. He put them on the tray, Koji smiled and came around his sister and jumped down from the stage. He went over to a server who took the tray from him.

Miroku smiled and turned to Yuki, who carried the two cards with our vows on them and our parent's letters for later.

"The wedding vows please," he said to us, Yuki extended his hands up to us holding the tray out to us. I reached for my card so did Hakura. I smiled and let out a deep breath.

"So I guess I should probably go first," I said. Everyone laughed when I said this. They could see how nervous I was, I'm not good with words and I always seem to forget what to say, like I said Hakura does that to me.

I opened my card and looked at Hakura, she smiled and giggled.

"Okay…. Okay yeah this is hard when everyone is looking at me." I said and chuckled. I let out a deep breath. My mother wasn't crying anymore, she seemed to be calm enough to listen to our vows, my aunt Sango as well. I heard people shouting at us and cheering, I let out another deep breath and looked at Hakura ignoring everyone around us.

"Hakura… since we were little and we first played near the river together, I didn't realize that you'd end up being the women whom I fell in love with today. The women standing in front of me right now…. yeah, this speech is cheesy," I started to say as everyone laughed. Hakura smiled and watched me as I tried to figure out my speech… yeah now that I think of it my vows suck.

"Man…. I suck with words, Hakura….you became my best friend, and even though I was shy around you and never knew how to express my words, you still seemed to understand me. My queer personality, my shyness, and even when I said your kimono matched your hair, you didn't think I was weird…" I said to her again. She laughed and leaned in towards me.

"Who compliments a girl and says her kimono matches her hair?" she teased me. I shook my head and looked at her.

"….since then you not only became my best friend, but you became my life partner, when you pinned me to the side of our house and kissed me when I was 9 years old, trust me I think I passed out afterwards…." I said again and laughed, everyone laughed as well.

"….that's when I realized you were mine. Hakura, as we go through this journey together, no matter what our future may hold for us, no matter how long our lives are together, you are my everything. I promise to treat you like the princess you are, to give you a home and a wonderful life, a family….because our mothers are begging for grandchildren," I said this and let out a deep sigh. My mother laughed when I said this.

"…so today standing here in front of our entire family and all our friends, I just want to say thank you for being in my life, and I can't wait to see what our life holds for us together." I smiled and put the card down on the tray again. Yuki smiled at me when I did that, my mother tapped her hands together and I heard her sigh. I turned my eyes to her she was smiling and seemed cheerful, yeah until she cries again. I diverted my eyes back to Hakura.

She smiled then giggled, "yeah Inuko that was cheesy," she said looking at her card. I laughed when she said this.

"Inuko, you are my best friend, and the only boy I tolerated when we were younger….I thought everyone else was stupid," she said looking over to the guys, they chuckled and tapped their hands together.

"….I started to like you when you first said my kimono matched my hair, then the next day you brought me a flower." She said again smiling. I looked at her and shook my head, yeah, she had to bring that up, I felt like an idiot for saying her kimono matched her hair that the next day I brought her a sunflower for her hair. Know what I said to her when I did that, NOTHING, I said nothing to her. I handed her the flower and said, 'here for your hair,' that was it. I didn't compliment her new kimono, I didn't say anything nice to her, all I said was here…. Oh my god I felt like an idiot afterwards. I had worked on what I wanted to say to her that day, I was 6 and she was 9 and man I forgot everything I wanted to say to her. I just handed her a damn flower.

"….even though you gave me a sunflower and said absolutely nothing to me after that, I still loved it, I wore it in my hair all day until a bird tried to attack me for it." She giggled and said this. My uncle Miroku chuckled remembering this, yeah a bird tried to kill her for the flower. I had to swat it away, her sunflower was broken on the ground, she cried and I was the same idiot I was back then, all I said to her was 'there's more sunflowers everywhere I can get you another one,' like really….instead of consoling her or making her feel better I made it worse. She got up and shouted at me, then walked home with Kikyko. Yup I'm an idiot!

"….regardless, even though I shouted at you and went home. You still tried your best to make me like you, don't worry I secretly did. I didn't think at 9 years of age I would gradually grow to love you, yes despite pinning you to the house and giving you a kiss, I had grown to love you so much. Thank you for being in my life, asking me to marry you was the scariest but best part of my life, I didn't even think you'd make a move like that. Trust me if he didn't ask me to marry him…I was going too!" Hakura said looking at everyone. Everyone laughed and watched us. I shook my head and hissed at her.

"Yeah bring that up why don't you," I said to her. She smiled and tapped my face.

"Inuko, you are my best friend…and my partner in life, we've been through so much together, as your wife I'll do my best to give you a home a happy life and children…okay mother happy?" she said and shook her head. Sango laughed and clapped her hands together to this. Miroku smiled to this and shook his head watching his wife's giddy reaction to that. Seriously calm down god you'll get grandchildren, jeez my mother and my aunt really what is with them.

"….so today in front of our family and friends, I give you my life, my heart and my everything….and give you a happy wonderful life." She said and smiled, she put the card down on the tray. Yuki smiled and took a step back next to his brother. Hoshiki looked at us, he looked lost in thought for some reason, he was staring at Nina then his eyes would divert to us, then back to her every few minutes. I smiled at this.

Miroku smiled and touched our hands bringing our hands together. Everyone cheered after our speeches. Yeah mine sucked compared to hers.

"The rings please," Miroku said to Hoshiki, he wasn't paying much attention, Yuki nudge him trying to get his attention.

"Huh oh yeah my turn," he said and smiled. Everyone laughed at Hoshiki's smug yet nervous disposition, he extended his hands up towards us.

I let out a deep breath and reached for the ring I bought Hakura, she smiled when she saw it. Miroku opened his Buddist book, the monks came near us, as Miroku started to read from the book.

"Inuko, the ring please… repeat these words!" Miroku said to us. I let out a deep breath and took Hakura's hand in mine, she was wearing a white lace glove, do I put the ring over the glove or something, what if it doesn't fit? I thought about this looking at her hand. Hoshiki nudged me when Miroku said the words I was to repeat.

"Huh oh sorry!" I said and shook my head. Everyone laughed near me, Miroku chuckled and touched my shoulder.

"With this ring I thee wed," Miroku said. I looked at Hakura and smiled.

"With this ring I thee wed," I said repeating the words, I pushed the ring on to her finger. Huh surprising enough it fit even with the glove on. Hakura smiled and reached for the ring she bought. I looked it at, it was cute, a round band incrusted in white diamonds, matched hers…I wonder if she knew about the ring I bought her.

"Hakura, with this ring I thee wed," Miroku said to her, she looked at her dad and smiled. She was excited I could tell, she jumped in her spot a little, she pushed the ring on my finger and said the same thing.

"With this ring I thee wed!" she replied. I hadn't noticed but she did look a little taller, hmmm wonder if she's wearing heels. At this point I didn't really hear anything else, the monks from the temple came around us and blessed us with some holly water, I just looked at Hakura, my wife…she was now my wife. Wow!

"Inuko….hey," Miroku said trying to get my attention. Hakura giggled and laughed when he said this to me. I looked over at Miroku.

"You can kiss the bride now!" he said and laughed closing his book. Oh huh yeah right…hell yeah!
I grabbed Hakura and pulled her to me and kissed her.

Everyone stood up and clapped and cheered, Hakura giggled and pulled her hands to my head.

"Ooohhhh," my mother said from the seats, Hakura pulled herself from me and giggled. I turned my eyes to my mother she smiled and held her hands to her face happy.

"With the power invested in me, and the blessings of the Meehan temple I now introduce Hakura and Inuko Taisho." Miroku said to us. I took Hakura's hand and helped her down from the stage, Kikyko came in behind us and pulled her dress off the stage, we held hands walking back towards the glass doors. Everyone threw rice at us and holy water, I laughed as we made our way down the aisle. Our brides' maids and grooms' men where behind us.

"Ooohh, I'm so happy!" Sango said to Miroku as he came towards her.

"Everyone let us gather next door for the celebration, while everyone prepares for it, please….." Miroku said over a microphone to our guests he gestured with his hand to the arche that was put up separating the ceremony from the party.

My parents meet everyone at their place, thanking everyone and greeting them as everyone crossed the yard. We had a table set up for our guests with gifts for them, thank you cards, and another table lit with candles sweets treats and desert. Our servers were preparing the buffet table and preparing the drinks for the night. I could hear our family and friends laughing and talking.

"Wow we're married," Hakura said in Miroku's second large living room.

"Yup we are!" I said to her and grabbed her.

"Nope none of that, she needs to change," Kikyko said and giggled, she grabbed Hakura by the hand.

"Agggh!" I huffed, Hakura giggled and followed the girls to another room so they could change. We weren't really changing into anything different, but the girls where for the party.

"Hehehehe," Kikyko giggled as they pulled the bottom layer of Hakura's dress off with the snaps, it opened and reveal the long slender part of the dress, which was covered with white flowers, the top was still the same but the entire bottom showed over her thin beautiful body. It had a small round train that was also covered with flowers. Hitomi and Kira reached up to her crown and pulled the veil off. Kira looked over her sister's dress and adjusted the straps along the open back of the dress.

"There your dress is now ready," she said to her sister. Hakura smiled and looked herself over in the long-standing mirror. She smiled and touched the dress.

Kikyko and Kira where planning something for tonight a surprise for us, Kikyko and Kira had practiced a song that Kikyko wrote as a special treat. I could see them shuffle around the other room, the glass doors where covered by white drapes so I couldn't see the new dress or anything like that. I turned to the guys; Kenta popped open a wine bottle.

"Hahaha, a drink bro!" he said holding out the bottle. I rolled my eyes and came towards him.


"Oh congratulations, I'm so happy for Inuko and Hakura," Ayame said next to Koga, he smilled and pulled his arm around her shoulders.

"We're so happy for them!" Koga said to my parents. My mother smiled and touched Ayame's hands.

"We are so happy for them as well, thank you for coming. Oh and is this your little one?" my mother said touching Ayame's little boy, Ayame cradled him in her arms as my mother cooed over him.

"Hey, we need to talk," my father said to Koga. Koga came towards him.

"No panther's anywhere but I have a feeling something is going to happen," my father said to Koga.

"Don't worry I have my dogs surrounding the entire area, my boys and the wolves are in the forest and watching for them," Koga said to my father. He nodded to him.

"Good, I don't want anything to interfere with tonight's events," my father said to Koga.

"Let's hope nothing will, I'm not really in the mood to hunt down panthers!" Koga said to my father, he looked at him and nodded.

Kohaku and his son Takahoshi were near Sango and Miroku talking and congratulating them, Magumi mingled with the crowd, Touya Koga's oldest son two years older than Kikyko was trying to spy on the girls by peeking through the slightly opened curtain, near the patio doors. He has had an interest in Kikyko for 3 years, but sis was never really interested in him.

Hoshiki and the boys where with Nina, near her parents they were playing with Kirara and laughing. Nina kept looking at Hoshiki, he would smile and look at her as well. He reached his hand to her necklace and flipped the heart around.

"It was backwards," he said to her. Nina blushed and touched her face.

"Uh, thank you!" she said to him quickly.

"It's cute, I like it…it suits you!" Hoshiki said to her. Yup Hoshiki doesn't hold back, he's not scared to tell a girl she's cute, or she has a nice smile, or her clothes are nice. Unlike me who's shy and doesn't know how to compliment a girl, my brother, let's just say he really doesn't hold back. He told Kira one time he thought she was adorable and that he'd date her if she wasn't with Hitoshi. Kira of course thought that was cute coming from Hoshiki, but I had to have a talk with that boy…seriously my kid brother hits on girls left and right.

"Hakura, I'll be back in a few minutes. You all go ahead without us… me and Kira have to prepare something," Kikyko said to Hakura, Hitomi and Rika. Kira looked at her and smiled.

"Oh what's that?" Hakura said to her. Kikyko giggled and held her hands to her face.

"We can't say, don't worry we'll be right back, you all prepare to head out to the gathering," Kira said to the girls. They all looked at them curious and smiled. Kira quickly grabbed Kikyko by the arm and pulled her through the house and out to the back of the patio doors. They quickly hurried through the yard to our house and slid opened the doors to the library room.

"Yes, it's here!" Kikyko said smiling. She looked over the harp, she had polished it and taken care of it all week, she and Kira were practicing in secrecy late at night on some nights the song they were going to play. Father and Mr. Yochiro were already in the library room waiting for the girls.

"About time you two, Kikyko Mr. Yochiro and I will carry your harp outside to the stage," my father said to Kikyko. She smiled and giggled and jumped in her spot excited. He smiled and touched her head.

"Get ready you two, you have a performance to put on!" my father said as he and Mr. Yochiro picked up the harp, they carried it to the glass doors of the library room.

"Traditional white miko robe hakui and white hakama, with our red and white chihaya," Kira said waving the chihaya in the air. The girls where going to dress in Buddhist traditional clothing, Kikyko being a miko in training her chihaya would be read, it's a long silk looks jacket with long kimono sleeves that is usually worn over the regular uniform. Kira's would be white. Kira was skilled in the traditional Chinese bamboo flute, and boy was she good at it.

"Alright here we go," Hakura said and smiled, Hitomi came over to the glass doors and opened them. They had changed into long sparkly dresses, the girls wore red gold and white dresses, they had v-cut necklines and spegetti straps with flowers on them. The dresses flowed to the ground and had slits along the leg line on the right, Kenta and Reno smiled they came over towards Hitomi and Rika. I smiled when I noticed Hakura's new dress.

"Ooohh I love this," I said to her grabbing her by the waist I pulled her to me, she giggled and reached her arms around my head and kissed me.

"Hey you two wait until the honeymoon for that, hahahah where's Kira and Kiki?" Hitoshi said looking around the room. Yamatoo's eyes wandered around the room as well, he seemed worried.

"Ah they wouldn't say they had to get something ready they said," Hakura said to them, she smiled and pulled her arms from around me. Kenta came towards the doors that led outside to the party.

"Your dads on the microphone let's get the party started!" Kenta said taking Rika's hand. She giggled and picked up her bouquet. They came outside the door holding hands, everyone was at the tables already, each family was sitting at a specific table which surrounded the stage. Next was Reno and Hitomi, they too came out holding hands as everyone clapped and cheered.

"I'm not holding your hand," Yamatoo said to Hitoshi, Hitoshi laughed at this as they both came out after them. I looked at Hakura and took her hand.

"Come on babe, let's get the party started!" I said to her. She giggled and tapped my face as we came towards the doors.

"And now introducing…. Hakura and Inuko Taisho," Miroku said on the microphone, this was our que, we both came through the doors holding hands. Everyone cheered and laughed, everyone took pictures and snapped videos with their cameras. The videographer and photographer where around us and the tables taking pictures and doing their part.

"WOOOOOOO," everyone cheered as white smoke filled the ground, I led Hakura up the stairs of the stage, I hadn't noticed Kikyko's harp set up near the far end of the stage near the long family table.

"And now the dance….of the newly wed bride and groom," Miroku said on the microphone. That's when all the lights went out and only spotlights lit the entire night and the stage. Everyone at the table smiled and clapped, the candles on the tables brought out such a nice soft light to the night, the music started, Mr. Yochiro had set up the music on the speakers. It was one of our favorite songs we listened to all the time, 'All of Me' by John Legend. Hakura loves that song, and it was something we loved listening too quiet a lot. It started on the speakers. I took Hakura's hand and twirled her on the stage, she smiled as I pulled her to me.

"Oooh, the first dance!" my mother said at the table, she held Makoto on her lap feeding her a bottle. My father looked at her and smiled, he pulled his arm around her and pulled his chair closer to her watching us.

"I am happy to be a part of this wedding, I'm grateful my wife is well now and able to travel," Jinenji said at the table with my parents. Jinenji in our time was know as a large demon, very big and strong, however now he's more….normal sized, he's taller then me and my father, as tall as my uncle Sesshomaru we could say and his wife is a normal human women. He has been married to her for many years, she has not yet conceived any children, but she does run a medicinal herb farm. Jinenji and his wife live not that far away from Kenta's home, despite it being a mansion and Jinenji's home a small farmhouse, they lived pretty close to each other.

"We are so happy for the both of you to join us," my mother said to Jinenji and his wife. She smiled and touched Makoto's head talking to her.

"Ooohhhh so lovely," Rin said, she rested her head against my uncle's shoulder and smiled. He looked at her and touched her head.

"Do you think Yamatoo would ever marry Kikyko?" she said to him. He tilted his head to her surprised she said that, she pulled her head off his shoulder and looked at him.

"I don't know, I guess we'll have to wait and see…" my uncle said to her, she smiled and looked at us as I twirled Hakura on the stage. My grandparents where at a table together smiling and talking. I could see them, I smiled seeing how fast they got to know each other, they seemed to be getting along well.

"Izayoi….. that's a very interesting name," my grandmother Nazumi said to her. My grandmother Izayoi smiled at her and touched her hand.

"Thank you so much for taking care of my son, I know he's married to Kagome and she's your daughter, but thank you for being there for him," she said to my grandparents. My grandfather Toga and my grandfather Satoshi both talked, discussed life in our time and even talked about us and my parents.

I didn't care to much about anyone around us, I held Hakura close to me and smiled at her as we danced.

"Heheheh I love this song," she said near me. I smiled and softly kissed her.

"The songs almost done, wonder what's next on the agenda," I said to her. She giggled as I pulled her by the hand around me, she twirled on her heels around me, I pulled her to me and bent her forward as the song finished. Everyone clapped and cheered.

"I love you!" she said to me as I pulled her to me. I kissed her and everyone cheered again.

"WOOOOOO," the guys cheered. They sat at our long table, next to eachother, Hakura and I would be in the middle and the bride's maids and grooms' men on each side of us. Our parents would join us at our tables for the dinner portion of the night, that's when we'd hand them our cards and they would rea them out loud, if they wanted too.

I took Hakura by the hand and led her across the stage to our table, the two chairs where white and covered in beautiful gold and red coverings. At this point, my uncle stood up at their table. Kohaku and Magumi looked at us and smiled, Tadahoshi and the boys where looking over the menu on the table. They looked at Miroku as he tapped the microphone.

"That was such a great song, and the dance was wonderful, alright…. Now we have a special treat in store for our bride and groom. Their sisters have been working on something special for the both of them," Miroku said gesturing his hand to the stage. My father and Mr. Yochiro where pulling Kikyko's harp to the middle of the stage.

"Hmmm, I wonder what's going on!" I said to Hakura, she looked at me and smiled.

"That's Kikyko's harp, I wonder if she's going to play it…" she said taking my hand. I pulled her hand to my mouth and kissed it. That's when the lights changed again, the string lights lit against the hanging canopy and the spotlights changed to a light white color. There was also a small round bag hanging from the top of the canopy, I noticed this when I looked up. Huh wonder what's in that!

Kikyko and Kira came towards the stage, everyone clapped for them as they came up the stairs of the stage, Kikyko shifted to the seat near the harp.

"Woah," Yamatoo said looking at Kikyko's change in clothing, his face blushed this rosy color when he saw her in her miko kimono. He smiled and watched her diligently as she adjusted herself on her bench. He held his phone up to the air recording her performance.

Kira sat down across from Kikyko on a small pillow, she kneeled against it and opened her case, it was her bamboo flute, she pulled it out and slid the case to the side.

"Tonight's treat, Kikyko and Kira have been practicing hard for tonight, this song is written by Kikyko and dedicated to Inuko and Hakura it is called 'To Love's End,' I'm am very excited to hear it. Please let us give Kikyko and Kira our blessings…. And allow this wonderful music to be heard," Miroku said looking at the girls. He smiled at them and then sat down again.

Kikyko let out a deep breath and held her hands against the string.

"You can do this Kikyko," Kira said to her, she knew how nervous she was. Kikyko was the type to always question her skills and herself, she thinks she's never good enough and works 10 times harder than anyone I've ever known, just so she is satisfied with herself. Her music is perfect, she never misses a stroke, she's always accurate and precise with her music, but she still feels that her performances are never perfect.

Kikyko trained hard and practiced nights on end after school with her harp lessons, sometimes dad would wait at the studio for her until she finished her lessons and watch her as she practiced. She never leaves until she gets every stroke right, I smiled at Kikyko watching her as her fingers stroked the keys. Kira watched Kikyko for her que, Kikyko's fingers touched the string, her strokes where delicate, gentle, precise, I really don't know why she doubts herself; this music was absolutely beautiful. Kira held her flute to her lips and joined Kikyko.

"Wow," Yamatoo said holding his phone to the air. Kenta and Reno were doing the same, everyone's expressions were that of amazement, and pure happiness. At this point the pouch that was hanging from the canopy above us burst, and Sakura flower petals floated down over Kikyko and Kira, making the entire performance that much magical.

I smiled watching the flowers fill the air and surround them. My mother dabbed her eye with a napkin, my mother always loved Kikyko's music, she encouraged her to work on a music CD but Kikyko never wanted to go that far with her harp music. If Kikyko ever recorded a CD it would be so popular and so well received, I guarantee that colleges would call her to have her as their student, and even maybe have her on their stages performing for people.

"Wow," Hakura said, I looked at her and touched my hand to hers, she watched Kikyko and Kira and smiled.

"This is so beautiful," Hakura said watching Kikyko's hands stroke the string, she didn't miss a single stroke, her hands played against the harp. Man was I proud of her seeing her on that stage performing. She's so unbelievably talented and amazing, I'm so lucky to have her as a sister.

"Wow," Hitomi said holding her phone to the air. Kikyko's sound then slowed down, and slowly the keys stopped. She held her hands against the string stopping the vibration of the cords. Kira smiled and pulled her flute from her lips.

"Wow," my mother and aunt Sango both said, everyone went silent for a moment. My father stood up and so did my mother, my uncle's as well. Hoshiki looked at Kikyko and he looked like he was crying. Everyone stood and clapped for them, Hakura shifted herself to her feet as I did.

"Wow that was amazing," I said clapping as well. Kikyko smiled and stood up from the stool, Kira stood up as well. Kikyko looked at us and extended her hand towards us, I held my hand to my mouth and sent her a kiss. She smiled and bowed to us, so did Kira.

"Wow, ladies… thank you that was amazing," Miroku said over the microphone. Kikyko smiled, father came towards the stage, he extended his hand to her helping her down the stairs, he then extended his hand to Kira as well as they came around the stage to the tables.

Yamatoo looked at Kikyko as she shifted to a seat next to her mother.

"Well I think it's about time for dinner and desert, then let's dance the rest of the night….. hahaha," Miroku laughed at the microphone, Sango smiled and shook her head at him.

"We also have a treat, near the back of the house facing the south side we have a photo booth set up, enjoy to your liking, please mingle and enjoy tonight's dinner, it is provided by a wonderful catering company. They will come around with the buffet platers and drinks," Miroku said as the catering team picked up the platters, the boys they had with them had trays of empty glasses, bottles of wine, alcohol and drinks for the kids as well, they started coming around the tables.

Everyone shifted off the tables, and to other tables, Kenta's parents came over to my parents table, they shifted tables together with my grandparents so they could get to know my father's parents. Ishikaro Kenta's father was like a second father to all of us, we respected him and treated him as such, he was also very strict and very straight with all of us. Just like my own father was, they carried a similar trait, I watched as our families conversed, food was passed around and everyone was enjoying the night.

"Huh!" I said noticing Kikyko and Yamatoo weren't anywhere on the grounds. Maybe they went to the photo booth…. Hmmm!

"Kikyko that music was absolutely beautiful," Yamatoo said taking her hand. She smiled and looked at him.

"I love the harp, the man who was sitting next to my father…the old man his name is Mr. Yochiro, he built my harp when I was 6 years of age," Kikyko said to him, he smiled and pulled her to his arms.

"You look absolutely beautiful," he said and touched her face. She blushed as he leaned forward and kissed her.

"You two, would you like to do some shoots at the booth?" a young man said gesturing with his hands. Yamatoo grunted and pulled his lips from Kikyko, he turned his eyes to the boy.

"Yes let's go take some pictures," Kikyko said pulling Yamatoo by the hand, she pulled him to the set up. It was a dark starry night back drop, lights where surrounding it, the man was behind a camera waiting looking at them.

"Heheehe," Kikyko giggled as Yamatoo pulled her to him, the boy snapped picks of them together. He then switched out the backdrop, Kikyko slipped off her red robe and let it fall to her shoulders, Yamatoo smiled and touched her head carefully as not to disturb the array of flowers in her hair. The boy returned to the camera and snapped another pick of them together.

Kikyko giggled and smiled. Yamatoo looked at her and let out a deep sigh after the boy was finished.

"I'm going to miss you so much!" he said to Kikyko. She looked at him and smiled, she reached into her small purse for her phone and pulled the strings together of her bag.

She held it to the air. Yamatoo looked at her and took the phone, Kikyko giggled as he held the phone to the air, he snapped a pick of them together, then he kissed her and snapped another pick.

"We have weekends right…." Kikyko said touching his face. He smiled and kissed her again.

"Great, I have plenty would you like a physical copy of these pictures, I can have prints for you ready by the end of the night," the boy said to Yamatoo. He came over towards him looking at the sizes of pictures that could be made, Yamatoo smiled and tapped on some of the sizes.

Kikyko giggled watching as Yamatoo ordered some of the pictures he wanted, he ordered some that were small wallet sized and some for his locker in college. Kikyko looked over to the house, Touya Koga's oldest son was leaning against the side of the house looking over at Kikyko. She smiled and waved at him.

"Touya why don't you come over here…." She said to him. Yamatoo looked at him as he came around the house towards her. Yamatoo has never meet Touya, he didn't know of Koga's oldest son. He watched Touya as he nervously rubbed his head and looked Kikyko over.

"Hi," she said to him. He nodded and smiled.

"Uh your song was lovely," Touya said to Kikyko, she smiled and nodded to him. Yamatoo came back to Kikyko and looked at Touya.

"And you are?" Yamatoo said a little aggressively, Kikyko held her hand up to him and smiled.

"I'm Touya, I'm the oldest son of Koga and Ayame," he said extending his hand to Yamatoo. Yamatoo looked at him and shook his hand.

"I just wanted to tell Kikyko I thought her music was lovely," Touya said to her. Kikyko smiled and pulled Yamatoo's arm off her shoulder, she nodded to Touya and came around him back to the party.

"Huh, wow!" Touya said watching her as she disappeared around the house.

"Hey, you…." Yamatoo said to him. Touya turned his eyes back to Yamatoo.

"She's my mate, so don't you dare think you can claim her or even try too…." Yamatoo said to him sternly, he crossed his arms and eyed him.

"Ohhh she's with you, I didn't know that, you're her cousin, right? Yamatoo is it, the son of her uncle and his wife, aren't you a little to old for her?" Touya said taunting Yamatoo. Yamatoo clenched his teeth together and eyed him down.

"You heard me, she's my mate…don't come near her!" Yamatoo said to him again. He looked at him and then came around him back to the house. Touya watched Yamatoo as he disappeared to the party. Touya smirked and ran a hand through his long brown hair, he adjusted his tie and returned to the party as well.

I smiled watching my family eat and converse, Kikyko was near my parents, laughing and chatting with Hitomi and Rika, Kira and Hitoshi where conversing with Kohaku and Magumi while the kids enjoyed a ride on Kirara's back as she dipped down to the ground and up to the air with them.

I watched Yamatoo with his parents and our grandparents, they laughed and talked, I think my grandmother was enjoying herself, everything was new to her and my grandfather. They've been dead for decades, I'm grateful they've been given this chance. Hakura looked at me and tapped my face. She pulled her chair out, a server came around to our table and took our plates.

"Let's go mingle and thank everyone for coming before we have the party," Hakura said to me. I smiled and took her hand sliding my chair out. We made our way around the table and down the small steps separating our long table from the dance floor. We came around towards our guests and started greeting everyone, talking with everyone and even getting to know family we haven't seen in years.

Shippou the sly fox he was, snuck up behind me as I was coming towards my parents and grabbed me in a head lock.

"Ah Shippou!" I hissed at him. He laughed, the guys did too. I grabbed Shippou's arm and pulled it from my neck, damn he's gotten stronger. No surprise his fox training really made him powerful, his skills have become so powerful and he has strength as well.

Hakura laughed when Yukiko punched Shippou in the arm for his behavior. I laughed at this as well.

"Father," Touya said to Koga. Koga looked at him and touched his shoulder.

"Yes?" he said to his son, Ayame smiled at her son and turned back towards my mother, she cradled her new baby in her arms and conversed with my mother and Jinenji's wife.

"I'm interested in Kikyko, I'd like to court her… is this possible for me to do so?" he asked his father. Koga looked at Kikyko and smiled. He tapped his sons head to get his attention, he was staring at Kikyko and admiring her.

"Let's ask her parents first! I think InuYasha will definitely not agree to it, but I think I can convince her mother… possibly," Koga laughed, Touya turned to him, as he pulled his son over towards my parents.

"HAHAHAHAH your son and Kikyko, hahahaha…." My father laughed; he touched his finger to his eye. My mother looked at my father and let out a deep sigh.

"I'm sorry Touya, but Kikyko's in a relationship with Yamatoo," my mother said to him. Touya looked back to Kikyko, Yamatoo was near her, he has his arm around her waist and was conversing with me and the guys. Touya turned his eyes back to my parents.

"Seriously, I heard a rumor of it, and he said so himself… I assumed he was her cousin," Touya said to my parents. My father let out a deep breath and shook his head.

"Yamatoo is family yes, but I accept their relationship! Sorry Touya," my father said to him. He let out a deep breath and chuckled, he turned around towards my uncle's and came over to their table.

"Sorry boy, didn't realize Kikyko was already taken," Koga said to his son. Touya smirked and let out a deep sigh.

"If I may please," Miroku said over the microphone again, we all turned to him as he came around my father and to the stage again.

"The night has only begun, let the music play…. let's enjoy this beautiful dance floor," Miroku said, Mr. Yochiro smiled and pushed a CD into the large player, the speakers boomed.

"HELL YEAH!" Kenta said taking Rika by the hand. I smiled and grabbed Hakura.

"Hahaha, let's kill this night!" Reno said to Hitomi she giggled and picked up her dress with one hand, he grabbed her to the dance floor. Yamatoo looked at Kikyko.

"Uhhh okay, but I haven't danced in a couple of years, I dropped dance class during the summer," Kikyko said to him. He smiled and grabbed her hand.

"Come on!" he said to her and pulled her to the dance floor.

"Uh Nina," Hoshiki said letting out a deep breath, she smiled and tapped her hands along her dress.

"Yes?" she said to him. Koji and Yuki crossed their arms and looked at Hoshiki, they tried not to laugh at him.

"Uh, want to dance?" Hoshiki asked her and extended his hand out to her. She blushed then nodded.

"OOOOOO," the boys chanted behind him, they followed him to the dance floor.

"SHUT UP IDIOTS!" Hoshiki shouted at them. My father looked over to Hoshiki with Nina.

"Huh, Nina and your son," Ishikaro said to my father.

"This is a first…." My father said to him. Ishikaro watched Nina and smiled.

"Hahahah I honestly wouldn't mind my daughter with your son, your children are so well raised, at least I'd know he wouldn't hurt her or hurt her feelings," Ishikaro said touching my father's shoulder. My dad looked at him then back to Hoshiki.

"Huh, Hoshiki… you little devil! I seriously need to have a talk with him," my father said to himself. He smirked and took my mother's hand. My mother passed Makoto over to my grandmother's arms.

"Hahahha oh Mako your too little to dance," my grandmother Nazumi said to her. Makoto huffed and let out a laugh.

"AAAAAHHHHH!" she shouted. My parents laughed at her, my dad put his glass down on the table and pulled my mother to the dance floor.

"WOAH INUYASHA," she said as he pulled her to him.

"Hahha, no way you're not dancing tonight," he said to her. My mother smiled, watching everyone twirl on the dance floor.

This is has now become a wonderful amazing night, the entire night dwindled down, everyone danced, we had desert at the desert bar, and took so many pictures. I think my groomsmen were drunk again, they definitely tried to get me drunk, like hell I'm driving back to our place after this no way am I getting drunk. My parents and my aunts and uncles danced for hours, trading partners and just enjoying the night.

Ishikaro and his wife were staying at our home the night and heading out back to their home in the morning, Jinenji and his wife as well. Koga and his wife where going to stay at the guest house with their children, while Shippou and Yukiko where going next door to my uncles. Oh no, not yet that is, don't think the party was over yet.

We still had to give our parents the letters and watch them cry on stage, hahahha this was going to be so great. I looked at Hakura as the music slowed down and went almost quiet. I reached for the microphone on the table and tapped it. Everyone turned and looked at us.

"Sorry, hahahha… uh so first off we really appreciate all this and thank everyone so much for coming to our wedding, we would like to share one more thing with our family before Hakura and I disappear," I said and chuckled. Kenta started making kissy sounds at us.

"Yeah shut up Kenta," I said again to him. Everyone laughed.

"Yeah we know you two want to get the honeymoon started," my father said loudly. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.

"Oh my gosh, anyway we have two letters we'd love to give to our parents, and we hope they would read them on stage please," Hakura said to our parents. My mom and dad came towards us, and so did my uncle Miroku and aunt Sango. The screens behind us started to play childhood photos memories of us growing up, Polaroid picks we took in our small village, pictures of our friends and family members. It was exciting. My parents stood on the stage facing everyone.

Hakura and I looked at eachother then held out the envelopes to our parents.

"What's this?" my mother said opening the envelope, my dad leaned into her reading the letter.

"Hakura, you didn't have to do this…" Sango said as well as she opened the letter. Miroku smiled and read the letter as well.

"Oh I don't know if I want to read this out loud," my mother said touching a hand to her face, my father touched the letter and looked at it, he read it out loud.

"Huh, didn't think my son could write, his wedding vows where all over the place," my father said and teased me. I rolled my eyes and shook my head.

"I don't want this read out loud is that okay," my mother said and brushed away the tears from her eyes. I nodded to her and smiled, she came towards me and hugged me. I sighed deeply, my mother always wore this perfume that has a great floral scent, I liked that she wore it… it was nice.

"Ooohhh, I can't read this either!" Sango said folding the letter in two, she pushed it back to the envelope.

"Oh Hakura," she said and hugged her as well.

Everyone smiled and clapped for us.

"Hehehhehe," Kikyko giggled behind me. I could hear her sweet giggle and laugh from miles away, I turned and hugged her too.

"I left a little gift for you and Hakura on your bedside table," she said to me as I kissed her cheek.

"Why?" I asked her, she giggled again and touched my head.

"Hey so you two leaving or what, we want to finish the party without you?" Hoshiki said next to Kiki. I looked at him and bent down to him, he smiled and hugged me as well.

"Yeah get lost already, god you guys are holding up the party and we want to eat all the left over desert before the catering company starts to take things away," Reno said holding a plate in his hands, he was eating some of the desert that was left on the table.

"We can't yet," Hakura said as the came came around on a trolley. Everyone laughed and clapped for the 6 tier cake, it had flaring candles in the cake and it was white frosting with red and gold flowers on it.

"YES let's cut the cake, and enjoy the rest of the night while our lovely couple disappear for their honeymoon," Miroku chuckled and laughed. My father and my grandfather grabbed the trolley and pulled it up to the stage.

Hakura was so excited she jumped in her spot, I picked up the knife near the cake, Hakura put her hand over mine and we cut into the tiers.

"WHOOOOO YEAH!" Hitoshi shouted at us, Kira laughed as we cut a slice of the cake and put it into the plate.

Hakura grabbed a small bit of the cake and held it up to me, hell no nu uh, she ain't pushing no cake into my face. I looked at her and took a small bit of the cake as well, I smirked and held it to her. She giggled and opened her mouth, I pushed the cake to her lips, she did the same to me but then rubbed the frosting along my mouth.

"Oh really!" I said and looked at her.

"NO, NO INUKO DON'T YOU DARE," she shouted running away from me, I ran after her holding the plate in my hands.

"HAHAHHAHA, guess they're leaving now… hahhaha," Miroku laughed so did my mother and everyone else.

"Let's enjoy this cake everyone!" my father said as everyone came towards the cake, the catering company's team cut the rest of the cake up and started handing out piece.

"AH INUKO!" Hakura shouted in the drive way. I laughed and taunted her holding the plate in the air.

"Come here, I wasn't finished yet," I said to her. She laughed and ran around the white car. The driver looked at us and smiled. I ran around the car as she was running the opposite way, she ran right in to me. I smiled and pulled her to me.

"If you hit me with that cake and get my dress all dirty I'm going to so…" before she could finish her words I pulled her to me and kissed her.

"How about we head back to our place, and maybe…east this cake?" I said to her in almost a whisper. She giggled and pulled her arms around my neck.

"Mmmm, that sounds fun!" she said and kissed me again.
