Kouga told Kagome of the tasks they needed to do before their wedding. Since it was tradition there was no way out of. Kouga was happy to do it though because every task done meant that they were just closer to too their wedding ceremony.

"So Kouga all we have to do is get something for our feast, get my bouquet, and write our wedding vows for each other?"

Kouga nodded and took her hand.

"Come on we need to get the food first so we can have it prepared in time so it can be done after our wedding is over. So what would you like to eat on our wedding day my love? Deer, bear, boar, fish?"

Kagome put a finger on her chin and moaned in thought.

"Why don't we get more than just one so we can have a variety to choose from? We could get fish and boar they seem like the most populated meat in the region so they should be the easiest to catch too don't you think?"

Kouga smiled and picked her up bridal style carrying her off towards some thick underbrush. " Kagome that is a great Idea. Only the best from my woman though." She giggled and licked his ear sending shivers down his spine and chill bumps on his arms. He growled in pleasure and kept running.

Kouga thought to himself "Wow she is so smart only she would think of having more than one kind of meat on a wedding day. And then she figured out that they would be easiest too. I am so proud to have her as my mate and wife."

Kouga stopped when his ears dilated in the same direction as a stomping noise was. He set down Kagome and stood in a fighting stance readying himself for what was to come. After about 5 seconds of waiting 3 huge boars jumped out towards Kouga. He planted a kick to each of their heads which killed them instantly. He picked them up and walked back over to Kagome.

"You'll have to walk from here but the stream isn't too far away from here. We will catch our fish and then I will go and pick your flowers."

Kagome nodded and took Kouga's hand in hers and tornadoed off towards the direction Kouga had pointed to earlier. They arrived very shortly and Kouga took off his armor as did Kagome. (Don't worry she had on that leather tank top underneath the armor so Kouga didn't get lucky this time haha) the two waded into the river and waited patiently for a school of fish to swim by. Using their demon senses the sensed the fish as they swan past them. They flipped them up onto shore which killed them upon impact and about 55 fish later they were done. Kouga took a piece of rope tied to his side and used it as a stringer for the fish. Kouga gave the fish to Kagome and sped off towards a field. But this was no ordinary field. It was a field of wild flowers with roses and lilies. Daisies and tulips. There were so many Kagome was speechless. Kouga put a hand on her shoulder and then raced over a hill. He scanned through it looking for the perfect flowers for Kagme. After all that is what he thought she deserved was perfect. After going back and forth collecting flowers he came back to his mate who was now sitting down flicking her tail between her fingers. Kouga held the flowers behind his back until Kagome got fully upright and then presented them to her in a romantic fashion.

Kagome smiled and looked to her mate for answers.

"How did you know that purple and white lilies were my favorite? I don't remember ever telling you anything about that."

Kouga got a goofy grin on his face upon hearing his mate's excitement. He put a hand on her waist and one on her upper arm.

"I don't know why I chose these flowers. I just saw their beauty and saw you in my head. They just popped out too me."

Kagome smiled and smelled the flowers which tickled her nose causing her to sneeze which caused Kouga to worry if she was getting a cold.

"Kagome are you alright? You aren't getting sick are you?"

Kagome looked up to her distressed fiancée and rubbed red itchy nose.

"No Kouga I am fine. It was just the flowers. They tickled my nose. That is what made me sneez not the fact that I might be getting a cold which I'm not."

Kouga put her into a play full head lock and then stopped when he heard a growl coming from his mate. He let go only to be pounced on by Kagome who pinned him down.

"Ha gotcha Kouga now what you gonna do? Maul me?"

Kouga put on a cocky grin and bit Kagome's finger which was being waged in his face. She pulled back and sucked on her red finger as if he had actually hurt her which he didn't. He would never hurt Kagome. Her guard was down and he took this as an opportunity. So he took it. He flipped her over on to her back. She opened her mouth to say something but was stopped by a pair of lips pressed to hers. They were I this position for a long time but was interrupted by Kouga needing to breath. He was pushed off by Kagome after he accidentally bit Kagome's ear a lil too hard. She was ust playing hard to get though so he wasn't to discouraged. He kept playing his little games of poking her side and growling just to get her to look back at him. It went on and one until they finally reached the wolf den. Kouga went inside with Kagome only to be greated by a swarm of wolf demons male and female. Karo and Haro came to them and pulled them away from each other saying the same thing at the same time.

"What were you thinking? We have to get you ready. Plus you have to write your vows. I am sure you know that though. Now come now so we can prepare you!"

Kouga and Kagome were rushed to different sides of the main den surrounded by wolves of different genders chattering and giggling all the way into the preparation caverns. Karo pushed Kagome onto a pile of furs and handed her the kimono she picked out the day before. After Kagome had the kimono on and situated she was pushed back down onto the piles of furs and her hair was being brushed backwards. At the end of the pulling her hair was in a neat and tidy bun with a small fan placed into the back of her head with the golden ribbon tied around the fan. Then all that was left was her make up. Karo took a small brush and applied red powder to Kagome's cheek bones and then blue powder over her eyes. Then she took some pink shiny stuff and told Kagome to apply to evenly on her lips. After all the brushing and rubbing Kagome was finally done with her preparations.

"Karo may I please be done? I just want to get this over with. I am sooo nervous."

Karo nodded her head but told Kagome she must wait until Kouga was done as well. Kagoe huffed but agreed. She just hoped Kouga would be done soon.

But what Kagome didn't know is that Kouga had to get ready just like Kagome did.

Kouga was thrown a long fur cape and a long staff that was to be held in his right hand. Then all he needed to do was write his vows. Too bad for him he couldn't think. On the other hand Kagome already knew what she was going to say. Then it was time. It was finally time for the wedding to start. Kouga walked down the aisle alone and stopped when he got to the arch he turned and faced the rest of the tribe and waited with a nervous look on his face. Then the music started and the whole place stood up and turned in the same direction as Kouga was facing. Karo walked down the aisle with Haro and the separated at the end. Karo standing behind where Kagome would stand in about 2 minutes and Haro went under the arch it seemed that he would be marrying the two. When the "here comes the bride" song came on Kouga started to sweat he had butterflies that felt like they were the size of pterodactyls in his stomach flapping around.

His mouth dropped when he saw Kagome come through the entrance of the cave following a 3 tiny wolf cubs with flower baskets in their mouths shaking them back and forth so the flowers would fall just as Kagome walked behind them. She walked down the aisle just as Kouga did hearing whispers mentioning her name. But they were all good because she was the alpha female after all and they knew Kouga would be cross if they were talking bad about his mate and wife. But anyway Kagome stopped right beside Kouga and both turned stepping inside the circle of rose thorns. Haro smiled at both of them n then looked past them to his wife who nodded for him to start.

"My brothers and sisters, we are gathered here today to honor these two in holy matrimony. If anyone who like to object to this marriage please speak now or forever hold their peace."

No one dared to say anything and all was quiet. Haro spoke again

"Good now Kagome repeat after me: I Kagome Higurashi take Kouga Ookami to be my husband, mate, and lifelong partner as long as I shall live."

Kagome nodded "I Kagome Higurahsi take Kouga Okami to be my husband, mate, and lifelong partner as long as I shall live."

Haro nodded and then turned to Kouga.

"Kouga repeat after me: I Kouga Ookami take Kagome Higurashi to be my wife, mate, and lifelong partner."

Kouga nodded "I Kouga Ookami take Kagome Higurashi to be my wife, mate, and lifelong partner."

Haro proceeded "Now the two may recite their wedding vows that they have prepared. Kagome you may go first since you are the lady."

Kagome took a deep breath and then turned to Kouga and took his hand.

"Kouga when I first met you I thoughtyou would just be a friend. But then I learned so much about you and how you are. And I fell in love with you. I love the way you treat me, the way you're soprotective, and how you always just want to please me. I couldn't ask for a more perfect wedding with the perfect guy. Thank you for everything. I promise to be the girl that you want me to be and that makes you happy."

Kagome looked into Kouga's crystal blue eyes and then squeezed his hand.

Haro spoke again "Now Kouga it is your turn my son"

Kouga nodded and thought about what he would say but nothing came to him he just said what his heart was thiking.

"Kagome ever since I first laid eyes on you as you rode down the street I had to have you. I just wanted to hold you, be with you, and love you. And now that I have I want it to keep going on for years on end. I love you and always will Kagome."

Kouga finished with a smile and turned back to Haro.

"Well tribe I don't think there is anything else that I can say. You two here are your crystal necklaces. Where them with pride and love. Now put them on each other and get outa here and have a great wedding night!"

Kouga put the necklace on Kagome and Kagome did the same. Then Kouga picked Kagome up bridal style and ran out of the cave with a crowd of cheering wolves behind them.

Kagome was put down at the same field of flowers and pulled Kouga down into her wedding kiss. When they pulled apart Kouga looked down at her and then backed up to get a better look.

"Wow Kagome you look soooooooooooooooo good!!"

Kagome giggled and looked at Kouga and put on a cocky grin just like Kouga does.

"You don't look so bad yourself mate. Now what shall we do on our honey moon?

Kouga thought about this and then smiled.

"How about we go to the mountain springs and have a bath and picnic. We sure could be alone all the way up there and its pretty romantic."

Kouga bobbed his eyebrows and looked towards the mountain past the wolf den. Kagome walked over to Kouga and took his arm in hers.

"Let's go then. We should get up there before I fall asleep I am really tired."

Kouga nodded and put Kagome on his back upon hearing that she was tired. He then raced off to where he knew they would be able to rest I peace. A cave he once visited often as a teenager. He loved the place and wanted Kagome to see where he enjoyed being the most.

He arrived in the small cave about two hours later and laid the sleeping Kagome down next to a wall and then sat at the entrance of the cave to keep watch. He stared out to the forest that surrounded them and looked back to check on Kagome every 10 minutes or so.

Kagome awoke about 3 hours after Kouga had arrived at the cave. She looked over to her mate who was still staring out to the forest. He had a content look on his face. Kagome crawled over to him which he didn't notice because of his sleepiness. But he didn't want to fall asleep while guarding the sleeping Kagome. When she got to him Kouga was surprised and jumped a little but then relaxed when he saw who it was. He put a hand on her shoulder and looked at her eyes and how sleepy they were.

"Kagome what are you doing up? You should have just stayed back over on the wall. Why don't you ust go back to sleep?"

Kagome's eyes got a little bit wider.

"Kouga I am going back to sleep but I want you to come with me you look like you are about to fall over right now. Everything is gonna be fine. And plus we won't be able to do anything if you're too tired tomorrow. Now please come to sleep."

Kougawas about to say something but then sighed.

"Okay Kagome but if anything happens I am blaming it on you."

Kagome gave his a weak smile and crawled back over to where she was previously laying before she woke up.

Kouga followed her and lied down beside her and put his arm around her waist and brought her closer to his warm body. She curled up next to him and put her head on his chest using it as a pillow. And soon they were both asleep with smiles on their faces and dreams in their heads. That night they actually got some sleep and that night they didn't have to be nervous or worry any longer.
