The weeks went by and soon, Anya and Elliot had set a wedding date.
It was the 4th of June. The weather was warm and there was no sign or rain. The flowers for the bouquets, were all real and very beautiful.
Zoey had been chosen to act as Anya's maid of honor, and for Elliot's best man, Wesely of course got that role.
It was to be a small, yet wonderful wedding party. Zoey stood in front of the bride, and just sighed as she saw how nervous Anya was.
"This is so not like when we were kids and just pretending!"
"Nope, it isn't,"
"I'm too nervous! You go for me!"
"WHAT!"
"Kidding, just kidding...oh! I wish there was some way for you to walk with me..."
"Hm...Maybe there is...stay right in this room, do not think of leaving."
"Alright...but where are you going?"
"Don't worry, I'll be right back."
"Elliot...oops! Sorry!"
"Its alright, I've gotten used to you walking in on me like this."
"Ha, ha, anyway, where's Anya's dad?"
"Ah...don't know, why?"
"I need to talk to him, by the way nice tux."
"Gotta look good."
"Yeah, see you."
Zoey rushed around searching for Anya's dad, when she literally bhumped into Dren.
"Couldn't wait to see me?"
"Dren, help me find your dad."
"Ah...well, you see he and mom are kind of busy..."
"What do you mean by busy?"
"Busy, busy."
"Oh..."
"Yeah, I guess the whole wedding atmosphere brings back very fond memories."
"Hm, guess so."
"So why you looking for dad?"
"Anya is freaking out, and she wants me to walk with her down the aile,"
"Okay then,"
"Well, I need to let your dad know...oh! I have to let the priest know too!"
"I'll come with."
"K."
"Ah, hello there miss, sir, what can i do for you two?"
"My friend, his sister is getting married here today."
"Ah, i see,"
"Well, she is very nervous and would like me to walk with her and her father,"
"I don't see any problem in that."
"I'm also her maid of honor."
"Don't worry, there have been many cases like this, some even where the bride needs the best man to walk with her and her father."
"Oh,"
"Now, don't you worry about a thing, Anya will be just fine,"
"Hm?"
"See, a bride may be nervous at first, but just looking into their beloved's eyes will take all that away, trust me, I've been doing this for a very long time now."
"Hm, thank you."
"You're very welcome. By the way have you seen the parents?"
"Yeah, but they don't want to be disturbed right now."
"Oh...ha...same as always."
"Hm?"
"You two head off, theres not much time left before the wedding takes place."
Zoey nodded the the two of them went to Anya's bride room.
"Zoey! Dren! Whats going on?"
"Well, I've talked to the priest and he said that if you really want I can walk with you and your father,"
"Really!"
"Mhm, then he also told me that you'll loose all of your nervousness the second you look into Elli's eyes."
"Hm...I hope you're right...who is the preist anyway?"
"Some guy who seems to know mom and dad."
"Oh! It must be Miroku! Yay! Mom and dad must have brought him here! Whew, that makes me fell less nervous..."
A knock came at the door.
"Unless you're Elliot, come in."
Two lovely woman walked in along with Anya's mother and father.
"Aunt Sango! Ina!"
"Hello, Anya, you look absolutly lovely!" The women smiled,
"Though what else would one expect from Kagome's children...and speaking of Kagome's children," said her aunt as Ina hugged her litle sister. She turned to Dren,
"You certainly had everyone worried about you, young man." Ina smiled,
"Aunt Sango, don't lecture the boy." She hugged her brother
"Glad to have you home, bro."
"Ah...yeah...I take it your another of my sisters?"
"Your older sister."
"Ah."
Sango turned to Zoey.
"Hello, I'm Sango, and you are?"
"This is Zoey, the friend I told you about a few years ago."
"Right, nice to meet you Zoey."
"Pleasure."
"Aunt Sango...is Uncle Miroku performing the ceromny?"
"Indeed he is dear."
"Hm, I'm glad!"
"Such lovely gowns, you two ladies look like princesses, and you Dren, you look like a prince."
"Well, while living with the Cyniclons, they did treat me like a king."
"Did they, sounds fun."
"Yeah I guess, but I traded it all just for my sweet Kitty cat, Zoey."
Zoey blushed as she was yanked into his arms.
"I see...looks like Miroku may have another wedding to do soon eh Inuyasha?"
"Hm? Maybe,"
"Now, you two, we should go and wait till its time, lets go pay our soon to be son-in-law a visit."
They all left.
"She's nice."
Ina nodded "Mhm, you'll remember her someday, she is so cool, she fights demons for a living...oh! Thats right! You havent been to the past in like forever!"
"Hm?"
"I'll have to get mom and dad to take you there, there are many that have missed you there, including young Rin."
"Rin?"
"Rin?"
"Mhm, she's had a thing for Dren here since he was 3..."
Zoey didn't know why, but she was getting jealous.
"No need to worry though, shes already married to Shippo." Anya looked at her big sister and smiled,
"they finally got married huh? What about you and Koji?"
"Soon."
"Ah, ha."
She wrapped her arms around Dren's waist,
"So, when should we have our wedding?"
"Hm? Well...you know I have no clue."
"How about sometime in May?"
"May? Why May?"
"Cause, I love that month, mainly because of all the pretty cherry blossoms."
"Ah, well, doesn't matter to me, as long as you're my wife."
"Hm..." Zoey gave him a sweet kiss.
"My, my, I might just have to make this a double wedding huh?"
"Oh!"
"No, we've chosen May."
"Ah, lovely month...ah! Anya,"
"Uncle Miroku!"
"My, you look nice,"
"Mhm, oh! Uncle, this is Dren,"
"Yes I heard you pop up again huh, well, hopefully you don't run off again."
"I didn't exactly run off,"
"No thats true, well, see you three out there, oh and its nearly time."
Anya smiled, "Thanks, now I'm even more nervous!"
Miroku left.
"Don't worry Anya, everything will be just fine."
"Hm...I know,"
"What do you mean?"
"You said that to me when you were taken from us...you said that everything would be just fine, and several years later, you turned out to be right."
"Well, ask anyone, I'm usually right, right Kitten?"
"Ah..." Zoey blushed and said nothing, as Anay's dad entered.
"Time to go, Anya."
"Alright, one minute." Anya walked up to Zoey,
"You still want me to come with?"
"I think I'll be just fine, besides, my father and my brother will walk with me."
Dren nodded slightly,
"Alright. See you soon then." Zoey went out and linked arms with Wesesly and they walked up to the alter.
Then it was Anya's turn.
"Ready?"
"Mhm, with the two of you with me, I can conquer anything."
"Thats my girl."
So brother, father and daughter linked arms and walked into the room, and up to the alter as well and, like both her uncle Miroku and Zoey had said, the moment she looked into Elliot's baby blue eyes, all of her nervousness and tension seemed to just disappear forever.
With her stress gone, for good, the wedding began.
