Hi guys! I hope you like the first chapter of this story, I mean if you didn't obviously you wouldn't be reading this… anyway ONWARD MY ARMY OF READERS, READ READ!
Kagome let out a relaxed breath while Sango washed her hair, all while the miko herself sat in the warm hot spring.
"My lady I must get your wedding kimono, but don't worry I'll leave Kirara here to watch over you" said Sango as she got up from her knees and dusted off her pink and green kimono.
Kagome frowned a bit. "Um… I don't mean to be rude but um…" the miko trailed off looking at the large neko sitting next to Sango with worry in her eyes. The captain noticed this and gave Kagome a gentle smile.
"Oh, don't worry Kirara's harmless. However it makes you more comfortable she can change into her smaller form" she proclaimed as she then turned to Kirara. "Kirara, do you mind?" asked Sango.
Kirara gave her partner a nod and sifted into a normal sized cat after standing up, which made her big claws and fangs disappear. Kagome couldn't help but let out a gasp, Kirara was so cute in this form!
"Well my lady I will be back in a moment" stated Sango as she then bowed to Kagome and left the hot spring room, closing the sliding doors in her wake.
"Now's my chance!" the young miko thought to herself as she quickly got out of the hot spring, dried herself off, and put her red and white miko outfit back on, but just before she could reach the door, Kagome felt Kirara purring and pawing at her leg.
"Um… hello Kirara" the miko stated awkwardly, hardly having any idea how to react to a demon that wasn't trying to kill her. Her thoughts were then interrupted when Kirara let out an adorable 'meow' and leaped onto the miko's shoulders, surprising the young girl. "Um…" Kagome triled off but stopped when Kirara nuzzled her face with her own, the young miko's eyes softened. "Aw, you're so sweet and soft" said Kagome as she gently stroked one of Kirara's ears with two of her fingers, making the small neko lean into her touch and lick Kagome's cheek, making the miko giggle. "Aw thanks I really needed that…" Kagome trailed off as her smile then turned into a frown. "I don't understand, I'm a miko and Inuyasha is a half demon, of all the women in the world why would he choose me as his bride? I don't understand it Kirara, I really don't" said the miko taking Kirara off of her shoulders, into her arms and scratching her behind the ears.
"My lady I have your-" Sango started as she came into the hot springs room only to see Kirara cuddling with Kagome… who was back in her miko outfit and very close to the door.
Kagome stared at the captain, expecting her to be angry at her for trying to escape, but to her surprise, Sango smiled at her softly. "My lady…. I don't blame you at all, if I was in your position I'd try to escape too…" she trailed off.
Kagome frowned at her. "Then why try to stop me?!" she snapped.
Sango looked up at her. "I'm only doing what lord Inuyasha asked of me" she proclaimed.
This made Kagome even more angry. "But you're human, so why do you follow the orders of a half demon who kidnapped an innocent maiden?!" the miko yelled.
Sango sighed. "You're right it is indeed strange that a demon slayer such as myself serves a half demon and is the general of his demon army, but I owe lord Inuyasha and his late father my life. not to mention lord Inuyasha has always been a loyal and kind friend to me" she said.
Kagome gave a slight gasp. "Wait but what do you mean you owe him your life?" she asked.
Sango smiled. "Well as I said before I was once a demon slayer, as was my little brother Kohaku and our late father this was a little over six years ago, Kohaku and I had been trained all our lives with our father to be demon slayers and were ready to take on the world…. But everyone in our village had died from famine. The three of us and Kirara were the only demon slayers left. We were hungry and tired from traveling and looking for a new place to live…. We thought we were done for, even my father was starting to give up… that is until lord Inuyasha and his late father Toga found use; lord Toga and his wife lady Izayoi took pity on us and gave use a home, food, water, and an everlasting friendship. So from then on, my father was the general and captain of lord Toga, the dog god's army… that is until he died on the battlefield about a year after we started living here. Everyone who lived and served here was heartbroken, especially lord Toga and his family, not to mention me and Kohaku, but shortly after my father's death I took his place as general since I was his first born, with Kohaku as my second in command, and Kirara as my partner and life soon got better for us" Sango said finishing her story.
Kagome stared at her. "I… I can't even…. I'm sorry Sango. I guess because of what I've been told and taught about demons and half demons, I'm also quick to judge humans who serve and are friends with them" she explained.
Sango gave Kagome a gentle nod and a smile. "It's alright my lady, I understand" said the captain.
"Please call me Kagome, everyone does" the miko requested.
Sango raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?" she asked as Kirara purred at her side.
Kagome smiled at her. "Positive, So… Can you help me escape?" the miko questioned, but to her dismay Sango shook her head.
"I'm sorry Kagome but I can't risk losing my place here, it's all me and my brother have, plus lord Inuyahsa isn't a bad person, if you let him show you his love for you I'm sure you could learn to love him back" she encouraged softly as she took out a white silk wedding kimono and veil.
Kagome sighed sadly. "There's no way out of this is there?"
Sango shook her head, feeling sorry for her new friend. "No, and as far as I'm concerned you already tried talking to him and that didn't work did it?" she asked.
"No it didn't work at all" Kagome stated sadly.
"Then I suggest you try to at least like lord Inuyasha I mean he loves you more than I think he's loved anyone else" the captain prompted, but Kagome's shoulders only slumped.
"If he really did live me he would let me go" she thought to herself as Sango helped her put on the wedding kimono and once it was one Sango smiled at the young miko before her.
"Kagome, I can already tell you'll be the most beautiful bride there ever was" she proclaimed.
Kagiome gave her new friends the smallest of smiles. "Thank you Sango" she said barely above whisper.
Sango then took the miko's hand for reassurance. "Everything will turn out okay I promise, now sit down here, so I can brush your hair" the captain requested walking over and patting a near bay rock that looked like a stool. Kagome gave a nod and sat in front of Sango, but just before the captain could pull out the brush from the side of her kimono, the sliding door leading out into the cave corridor opened and in stepped a little demon that looked like a brown linx. He walked on two legs and wore blue clothing.
"Hi there!" he greeted the two young women in front of him. Sango and Kagome turned to the little guy, and once Sango saw him she immediately tried to push him out of the room.
"Bunza, what are you doing here, aren't you supposed to be preparing for the wedding at sunset tonight?" asked the captain.
Bunza smiled cheekly at her. "I know, but I wanted to meet Kagome after all she's gonna be my new sister, so I thought I'd introduce myself" said the small linx child as he hurried past Sango and hopped into Kagome's lap after giving Kirara a pat on the head. "Hiya, new big sister!" Bunza greeted with a smile.
"Um… Hi" said Kagome awkwardly.
Bunza smiled at her again. "Gosh, it's so great to meet you Kagome, my name is Bunza I'm inuyasha's little brother and ooo… you're even prettier than I thought you'd be. Okay I'll down to it" stated the little linx clearing his throat. "*Ahem* one; take good care of my brother, he'll need it, two; you have to let me hang out with him wherever I want to and-" Bunza tried to continue but Sango cut him off.
"Um Bunza, Kagome needs to get ready for her wedding with lord Inuyahsa, so with that being said how about you go help him get ready?" the captain suggested.
Bunza turned to Sango, looking disappointed. "Aw, fine..." the linx child trailed off, but then he turned back to Kagome and gave her a hug the best way he could since he was so much smaller than her. Kagome was shocked but nonetheless hugged the little guy back. "Bye Kagome, I can't wait to see you and my brother married!" Bunza called as he rushed out the door. Once Bunza had left the miko turned to Sango with a confused look on her face.
"Um.. if it's okay to ask are Inuyasha and Bunza related?" asked Kagome.
Sango smiled as she began to brush Kagome's hair. "Oh, they aren't related by blood whatsoever, but Bunza is like a little brother to lord Inuyasha. Ever since Lady Izayoi found Bunza as an orphaned toddler she and lord Toga took him into their home so young lord Inuyasha could have a playmate growing up. Even though the two are a few hundred years apart in age they bonded like brothers. Bunza is lord Inuyasha's best friend so it's no surprise that he wanted to meet you to see who his big brother is marrying" stated the captain. Kagome said nothing after that, all she could think and wonder about was what her future held after she became the dog gods wife.

Inuyasha couldn't stop smiling as he put a red kimono robe over his chest and looked in the mirror while smiling. "I can't believe this day has finally come, I'm going to marry Kagome" he said happily as he straightened his kimono. That's when Bunza came running into the room.
"Brother!" the linx child shouted, jumping onto Inuyasha's shoulder.
"Hey Bunza, where have you been?" asked the dog god playfully giving Bunza a nuggie.
"Hey, hey, ha, ha!" the little linx child laughed as Inuyasha then let him out of his grasp.
"Okay bro, how do I look?" asked the dog god showing his attire. Bunza looked at Inuyasha up and down as he stood in front of him, put a finger to his chin and squinted.
"Hm… great, you look great but here, give this to Kagome" Bunza suggested as he held out a yellow and white lily to inuyasha who smiled.
"Bunza, you're a genius" stated the dog god as he took the lily and gave it a sniff.
"Oh by the way, can I just say that you my friend have awesome taste, Kagome is really beautiful, you know if she had a little sister I'd ask her to be my mate" the linx child prompted.
Inuyasha turned to his brother. "Wait, you've met Kagome?" he questioned. "When?"
Bunza waved his hand at the dog god dismissively. "Oh, just now. I had to introduce myself to my new sister and give her my blessing you know" he replied.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes playfully. "Well in that case, I'm glad you like her…" the half demon trialed off with a happy sigh. "And I could never ask for anyone better to be my mate" he thought to himself as he smiled softly at the lovely lily blossom in his hands. He then turned to Bunza. "Let's go, the wedding is about to take place"
