Chapter 9

Even though Ron tried everything to get Harry to tell him what happened Harry refused to crack. All Ron got out of him was "A lot happened."

The night before, after Harry and Kagome successfully remembered what they were talking about they decided what they were going to do (A.N. There was more snogging but I think one scene is enough). They both agreed no to tell Ron and Hermione until after the wedding. So until then Ron was stuck.

Hermione did have a little more luck. Other than "a lot happened" she also got "we went walking" (A.N. when you have friends like that who needs enemies?)

The wedding when off with only two minor hitches. The first actually happened before the wedding in the kitchen. Kagome had no idea what to wear to a wizard wedding. She decided to wear the nicest thing she had which happened to be a black skirt that ended half an inch above her knees and a white see-through top with a red tank top underneath. After looking in the mirror Kagome thought she looked very good. When she left her room to find Hermione or someone she ran into the bride. Trying to turn as fast as she could before Fleur noticed Kagome almost made it to the door.

"You!" Fleur looked scandalized at what Kagome was wearing "Zes ezn't a coztume party. You are not going outzide looking like a tramp." She pointed a threatening finger at Kagome. Kagome herself was about to retort when Hermione, Mrs. Weasly, and Ginny, came down the stairs. "Madame Weazly!" Fleur announced still pointing a finger at Kagome, "Tell her zhe cannot go to my wedding az ze town whore." Kagome's face reddened, she had had about enough of Flem, as they had appropriately named her.

"I don't know Fleur" Hermione said, before Kagome could open her mouth. "That," she said as she shortened Kagome's skirt a little with her wand "is closer to what you would call a tramp."

Fleur looked as if she was going to explode but before she could say anything the girls had walked outside. As soon they were out of earshot all three broke into bales of laughter (Mrs. Weasly stayed behind).

"I can put it back if you like," Hermione said raising her wand. But at that moment Kagome saw Harry talking to someone at the other end of the lawn and she stopped Hermione. The other girl smirked knowingly and let it drop. Ginny thinking it was about getting Fleur even more mad thought nothing of it.

The second interruption didn't come until the wedding was almost finished.

All in all Kagome thought it was a beautiful wedding. White roses filled the lawn and the guests enjoyed being slightly shaded by giant lace sheets that flowed lazily over their heads. Kagome couldn't stop glancing over in Harry's direction. Harry had noticed Kagome's skirt and the improvements Hermione had made to it before the ceremony and he as well as Kagome couldn't stop looking in her area.

Harry knowing the twins thought they would try something but when he caught sight of them he know by their sullen faces they would do no such thing. Harry also noticed Charlie Weasly was sitting right behind Fred and George and Harry had an odd feeling Charlie's wand was sticking into the twins back.

Just as Harry was about to let out a sigh as the couple were saying their vows, thinking everything was going to go off without a hitch, there was a yell that came from the back of the audience.

"You, wench, did you know how hard it was to find you?" A man in a red suit came running up the center aisle making his way for the bride. An intake of breath stopped the entire wedding party to just stare as this man went for Fleur, but instead of going straight he stopped at the third row back. As he held his hand out for Kagome and everyone started to murmur. "What are you waiting for? Let's go." He stuck his hand right under Kagome's chin. Harry felt a surge of anger at this man's brazenness and his treatment of Kagome.

But what surprised Harry and probably everyone else was when Kagome took the man's hand and jumped on his back. The man took a giant leap and was gone. Everyone was still buzzing about his exit throughout the rest of the ceremony, the after party and even as they were leaving. Fleur was in a mess, she cried on Bill's shoulder the rest of the night, she seemed to think that because Kagome stole the light in her wedding her marriage was now doomed because no one was paying attention to her.

If Fleur was bad, Harry was even worse, both Ron and Hermione tried to help him in saying that they were sure she would be back but Harry could tell they both didn't believe it either. The rest of the evening Harry sat and wondered who the young man was. He had long flowing hair, what color was it a small voice prompted him.

"That was Inuyasha! It must have been." Harry said so abruptly Hermione and Ron almost fell off their chairs. Harry's stomach seemed to sink lower, if it was Inuyasha then there was no reason for Kagome to stay, aura or no aura. Inuyasha was three times as strong as any wizard so Kagome had no need for Harry.

Harry decided to take an early night and left to go to the house. As he was making his way up he saw to identical figures sneaking in the darkness. Not wanting to talk to anyone Harry darted behind a tree. The twins still seemed to me making straight for him so he went further back into the small forest.

"Harry?" He heard a voice behind him. He whipped around to find Ginny with a boy he had never seen before. He turned around again and started making his way out of the woods; he would rather deal with of the twins than with Ginny at this moment. He could have sworn he heard "She'll come back." But he doubted it.

When he finally had gotten out of the woods he found he was on the wrong side of the house. He had somehow circled the perimeter of the small forest and he still had to go back through the party raging below him. Not wanting to go forward and not wanting to go back Harry went off to the side to another area of trees. He thought he would just sit on the edge of the forest and wait until he saw Ginny leave and then go back the way he came.

As Harry sat it was inventible he would start to think. It was at that moment he wished he had his godfather with him. Sirius was always able to give him advice even though he was on the run as an ex convict. Harry didn't know how long he was sitting there or at what moment when he started to cry. It wasn't loud, it was actually the worst kind of tears imaginable. They were silent and burning hot, and like the tide they came in waves but they wouldn't stop for the world. It was then when he began to think about all of the deaths that had surrounded him in the past years.

A song was carried by the wind to him from the wedding down below; Harry listened to a few bits of stolen music before the entire party ended.

"Now it's closing time, the music's fading out, Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout. Well I turn around to look at you, you're no where to be found, I search the place for your lost face, I guess I'll have another round, well I think that I just fell in love with you."

It wasn't until the noise of the party had completely die down did Harry hear the voices behind him. They were hushed but Harry could tell one was trying their voice down but the other didn't seem to care.

"Why did you have to come right in the middle of everything and drag me away?" Said the first voice, it was defiantly female, and she was trying to stay as calm as possible.

"I don't know why you're so mad, bitch. I should be angry at you." The second retorted, Harry thought he recognized it, but he just couldn't remember.

"Why should you be angry with me?" The girl's voice had no trouble staying quiet, it had gone almost to a whisper it was so angry.

"Well, uh," the man's voice seemed to lose some of its nerve. "You were with someone; I can smell the stench all over you. You reek of him." The voice seemed to lose all of its power at the end as if its owner was being stared down so badly he was being deflated like a balloon.

"I can't believe you, you were gone for five hundred years and that is the first thing that you say to me!" Harry finally recognized the voice and was on his feet, wiping his face, and running towards it.

Inuyasha had long heard someone coming and when he smelled the scent of this new person he instantly flexed his fingers. This scent, this one coming near was the one Kagome he been with, this was an enemy.

When Harry got to the clearing, where he and Kagome had been the night before, he saw Kagome and the being Inuyasha up close for the first time. Still in the red baggy suit the young man looked more like an old man from behind. His hair was waist length and silver white and small dog ears poked out of the tufts of hair on the top of his head. Harry caught sight of the tensed fingers with half inch claws flexed ready to strike. He gulped and made a mental note never to try and cross Inuyasha.

When Harry saw Kagome he went to her. The only thing in the way was the Hanyo standing between them. He smirked openly at Harry, and Harry felt the familiar waves of jealousy.

"Harry! How did you find us?" Kagome threw a glare over at Inuyasha who was still standing between them. She tried to get around him but he wouldn't move, Kagome got more and more frustrated until she remembered. "Sit boy!" could be heard across the clearing, Inuyasha's grinning face cell flat into the soft ground below.

Harry was amazed at Kagome; she leapt lightly over Inuyasha and went to hug Harry. He breathed in deeply and it was his turn to smirk and the body still lying on the ground. Inuyasha lifted his head to see Kagome hugging this man and the man smirking at him, Inuyasha was afraid Kagome would sit him again so he just lifted his middle finger at the man.

"Sorry about all the confusion from today." She whispered into his ear, as they parted Harry had a sinking feeling this would be the last time they would be close now that Inuyasha was there.

The being itself had now risen to its feet and tried to get between Harry and Kagome again; when they parted he got his wish and stood firmly and very close to her side.

"So now what happens to our plan?" Harry was finally able to ask the question that had been plaguing him for a while. Inuyasha looked quizzically between the two of them and Kagome looked as if the answer were perfectly clear.

"We'll still go on Inuyasha will just help us, of course." Inuyasha stopped looking dumb and finally woke up.

"You're not volunteering me for anything bitch. I won't have any part of this stupid plan." He folded his arms across his chest and sat squarely down on the grass looking like a ridiculous boulder.

"Oh yes, you will." Kagome said with such finality that Harry wondered how Inuyasha still looked somewhat calm.

"Fine," Inuyasha said, sounding like he wasn't fine at all, "Fine, what is this stupid plan anyway?"
