Chapter six: Preparations

She was ignoring them the only one she would talk to is Kikyo. 'They are so annoying!'

The two boys currently were shoving each other like kids arguing which way was the best to take to Totosai. While Kagome and Kikyo walked behind them, Kagome wasn't sure how Kikyo can watch Inuyasha be so immature.

"Inu, why don't we let Kagome choose it is her journey after all" was heard by all as Kikyo came to stand between the two boys who were currently glaring at each other.

"So what is it wench?" replied the hanyo standing arms crossed while tapping his foot.

Sighing Kagome walked past Inuyasha "It will be faster to go this way now let's go or go back to Keade's"

A little while later they had made camp near a stream. "I'll go hunt"

"Hey, Kikyo is my mate and I will be the one who hunts for her" Inuyasha said while pushing Haru out of his way.

"Not that your half breed brain can understand but there's more than just her here that has to eat" heading out of camp with the inu hanyo both boys could be heard until they left ear shot.

"Seriously will those two ever stop" Kikyo looked up at the now demon Kagome smiling

"Inu is jealous, you're his best friend I am sure he just fears that now you have your memories of your old life back you will leave him" came the reply.

"But how could he think that? We have been through so much together there's no way I would ever just forget about him" Sitting down next to Kikyo, Kagome drifted off in thought staring into the fire.

Kikyo smiled as she watched Kagome lost in her thoughts. She knew Inuyasha loves her not in the way he loves his mate but she knew, Kagome was his best friend she was the person that made him want to be himself and be proud to be a half demon. It wasn't Kikyo that did that no it was Kagome, as much as Kikyo loves Inuyasha there's a place in his heart that is specifically for the younger priestess.

Neither female spoke for a while both too busy with their own thoughts, suddenly there was a loud bang. Jumping both got up ready to fight when they noticed it was just two over grown children fighting each other over who's boar is bigger.

Kagome crossed her arms while rolling her eyes deciding to ignore their childish behavior when she remembered what Kikyo had said. Sighing she figured it would be best to take Inuyasha away from everyone.

"Hey Inuyasha will you take a walk with me?" coming to stand between the both of them they looked up glaring at her til she glared right back which made both boys separate rather quickly.

"Keh, sure wench" Standing up Inuyasha started to head out of camp arms crossed into his sleeves with Kagome walking besides him smiling, They walked a bit a ways til they were out of ear shot of Haru. Coming to a stop Kagome took a seat on a log while motioning for Inuyasha to sit next to her.

"What did you want wench" came the gruff voice of the beloved hanyo

"Inuyasha" making the hanyo look at her his ears went flat against his head while his usually feh came out.

"You know Yash" Kagome looked up at the stars "Just because I have my memories back doesn't change anything between us, you're my best friend no matter what". Smiling she took hold of his hand.

"I know that wench" Inuyasha said while giving Kagome a squeeze of her hand "Now let's head back to camp before that dammed inu comes"

Laughing shaking her head neither one let go of the others hand "Inuyasha he's your brother you know"

"Feh I know I just don't care he's just like the bastard Sesshomaru" Smirking Inuyasha let go started to run towards camp in the trees. "Race you Gome" Came the yell.

Kagome took off into a run after Inuyasha both laughing and running as fast as they can in the end it was Kagome who won the race.

"Ha, I win Inuyasha!" Yelling while jumping pumping her fist into the air as Kikyo watched the pair smiling while Haru narrowed his eyes.

"Let's just eat and get some sleep we have a long day ahead of us" Came the grumbling of one jealous inu.

Back at Keade's, Sango was still worried but Keade and Ryleigh did a good job of distracting her with wedding details. Alaric helped Miroku with villagers. Alaric also was helping the villagers build a hut for the newly wed. Along with preparing foods for the winter Alaric had made it a two story house with rooms and a shoji door. Some of the women have made blankets and such for the newly wed, some made decorations.

Alaric knew he was watching him but didn't particularly care, If he was expecting a different answer than the one his sister gave he is mistaken. "What is it you need lord of the western lands?" spoken as he continued his work he only took a glance at him before going back to what he was doing.

"Hn." Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes he hated when people simply dismissed him but he knew better than to assume Alaric wasn't paying attention at all. Besides himself he knew Alaric and Ryleigh may seem like they're not paying attention but truth was she knew more than himself.

"Well? Are you going to stare or ask your question Sesshomaru." Stopping his work Alaric turned towards the lord with his arms crossed.

"Why are you helping these humans?" turning his nose up Sesshomaru watched as the humans worked on the surprise for the slayer.

"My sister asked for my assistance and Kagome had asked for hers. She said if she was to help her friends so was I. I am sure if you two were better terms You would be helping in some way as well". Smirking Alaric waved over to Miroku walking away from the cold lord.

"He's right Maru, you could be put to work with him" chiming in Ryleigh who gave him a sly smile.

'As if that woman could make this Sesshomaru do anything he didn't want" he thought as he narrowed his eyes at the small woman in front of him.

"In matter of fact that woman has made you do many things in your child and teens years that you didn't want to"

"In fact I remember the one time she made you chase off suitors of hers and scare off Kimiko of course it only worked til she found out the little minx left us, but now she's back Kimiko will back off and we will have our mate back"

'She is not our mate and she left us.'

"But now she's back and she even said she did not have a choice in the matter, you know you're not really mad with her you just want to make yourself suffer"

'Silence, I did not ask for your input'

"Fine but she's laughing at you right now knowing you are arguing with me"

Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes but realized his beast was correct the woman is laughing at him. He hated how much she knew him, hated how much he cared about her. Why he was still in the village he was not sure but he couldn't bring himself to leave not with her here and knowing she's back.

"You know Sesshomaru whatever you and your beast are arguing about, you should just accept what he is saying now and stop fighting anything" He hated her smile as she spoke to him, He wanted nothing more than to leave but he couldn't he tried really he did but she wouldn't leave his mind.

"Hn." He walked away leaving a smiling Ryleigh behind knowing she got to him and that she will have her best friend back.

Calling out to him while he walked away she decided as long as she was back he would not get the last word. "You know no matter what you're stuck with me!" Laughing she saw Sango and decided to go over what kind of song she would like to sing and figure out from there.

The next day landed the travelers at Totosai's. In the cave sat the four of them as the old man took a look at Kagome's canines. "Would you hurry it up already old man" Inuyasha was grumbling and pacing as always being impatient.

"Let him work Inu" rolling her eyes at her mate she dragged him outside.

"Ahh this one will do" Totosai pulled out the tooth with pliers while talking to Kagome

"Will you be staying?"

"No, we have Sango and Miroku's wedding we're going to fly back to make it in time." Standing Kagome and Haru brushed themselves off heading for the door "thank you Totosai"

"You're welcome young one and do not worry I will bring the weapon to you dear"

They made their way down the hill where Kagome came up with a solution for flying. "Hey guys so what if Kikyo flew with me and Inuyasha flew with Haru? We could make it back for the wedding"

"NO WAY" both of the boys yelled while glaring at each other, Shaking their heads Kikyo and Kagome looked at each other shrugging.

"Well I have no problem with that Kagome shall we go and let them figure it out on their own?"

"Minds well they need to learn to work together anyway" Shrugging Kagome formed her cloud (Yes kagome has one of those too) making it bigger for both of them to fit and to be able to sit on it, Kagome floated just above the ground for the miko to slide right on with no problems.

"Well we will see you there boys" they said in unison.

"HEY! Kikyo is my mate she should be with me" Yelled Inuyasha but it was too late they were already gone. Turning towards the other demon they both pouted about being left behind before begrudgingly walking towards Edo with each other.

It's the big day! Kikyo and Kagome made it back late last night when everyone asked where the other two were. They said they needed brotherly bonding and probably be here early afternoon. Everyone was getting ready the girls with Sango and the boys with Miroku. Ryleigh was sitting beneath the god tree when Sesshomaru approached her.

"You still write music" it was a question don't be fooled

"Hn." Came the mocking reply

"Do not mock me woman" Sesshomaru said as he narrowed his eyes as he watched her smile

"Surely not mighty lord of the west but if I'm not mistaken we have a wedding to attend" grabbing his hand she pulled him along even though he stated he did and would not go to such a human ceremony. Too bad Ryleigh did not care what he did or didn't want to do she said he was coming and coming he was.

Everyone was taking their seats when the other western princes arrived. Haru was descending from his cloud when Inuyasha decided to push off causing both to crash down in front of Sesshomaru. Laughing Ryleigh pulled him along leaving the younger siblings to push an shove each other.

As the wedding was about to begin everyone found their seats, Inuyasha managed to change and stand next to Miroku as his best man and Kagome as Sango's maid of honor. Their vowels were said and now it was time for the after party. "The first song is for the newlyweds" Ryleigh squeezing Sesshomaru's hand came to stand in front of everyone smiling motioning for the band to start playing.

Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game

Some people think that the physical things define what's within
And I've been there before, and that life's a bore
So full of the superficial

Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you baby
If I ain't got you baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, yeah

Some people search for a fountain
That promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love them

Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be
With no one to share, with no one who truly cares for me

If I ain't got you with me baby
So nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me baby.

Everyone was dancing but Sesshomaru's eyes were on Ryleigh as she started singing other songs for the wedding. He didn't understand it he could not look away from her either. He couldn't do anything but look into her eyes. Feeling a tug on his arm Sesshomaru looked down to see Rin smiling up at him "Will Lord Sesshomaru dance with Rin?" Nodding his head Sesshomaru led Rin to the make shift dance floor, the entire time you can hear the laughter of her little voice as he twirled her around.

It was night time Jaken had led Rin back to their camp, many of the women had went to tuck children in, Everyone heading back to their respective homes. Kagome was sitting outside after tucking Shippo in with Haru. They were watching Sesshomaru and Ryleigh,

"Do you think they will ever return to how they use to?" Shifting to a more comfortable position Kagome leaned forward trying to hear.

"I don't think she would allow anything else to happen" Smirking Haru leaned back hands behind his head. "Besides as much as he will not admit it he's been waiting for her, He wouldn't mate anyone else heck Kimiko has been trying for years and he's ignored her."

"You're right if there's one thing she is stubborn. You know you shouldn't be so hard on Inuyasha" Haru hummed as Kagome looked his way. "I mean it you know he's your brother, regardless what Sesshomaru says-"

"Enough, you were not there Kagome and while I appreciate you for trying to mend the brothers it is not happening. We accepted him after awhile me more than Sesshomaru, you don't know the entire story so please don't speak on it" Standing up Haru walked towards his brother and hopefully future sister in law leaving a stunned Kagome to think of what she knew of Inuyasha's mother and the former western lord.
