Fragile Hearts
Chapter 4: Plans for the wedding
"What the hell does marry mean?" Inuyasha questioned everyone.
Kagome's mom looked at him dumbfounded.
"You mean they don't have marriages in that era?" She asked.
"They do, but for Inuyasha it's a bit different mom…no one was ever there to teach him." Kagome explained.
"Oh, well in that case I'll just have to fill him in won't I?" Kagome's mom replied cheerfully.
Inuyasha looked at her and the look that crossed his face was puzzlement, mixed with what Kagome could only classify as horror. Kagome's mom came and grabbed him by the hand taking him off to a room where she could explain the way of marriage in the modern era.
Kagome's mom sat him down on the edge of the bed in her room. She went to her closet and came back with a book that said "Wedding" on it.
"Whats that?" He asked as she sat down next to him, flipping the book open.
"This is a picture book of my own wedding to Kagome's father." Mrs. Higurashi explained to the half-demon. He nodded in response and she continued. "See this one, that is me." She pointed out.
"Wow you look just like Kagome." He said surprised.
"No, Kagome looks just like me." She corrected him.
"Right, anyways what's the point of all this?" He asked as she flipped the pages showing him more photos.
"Well this is to show you how you will have to dress at the wedding." She explained.
"Whats wrong with what I'm wearing?" He asked his voice rising a little bit.
"Well nothing, for your era. However, here we have a bit of a different style." She replied then looked up at him and saw his dog-ears.
"And we'll have to do something about those." She said.
His ears dropped.
"Whats wrong with them?" He asked her.
"OH nothing they're adorable, it's just Kagome's friends and the rest of our family may not see it that way." She explained and smiled at Inuyasha.
Just then, Kagome entered the room. She looked to Inuyasha then to her mother and back again. Her eyes fell to the picture book on her mothers lap. She walked over to them and sat down at the foot of the bed on her knees.
"Oh daddy." She said with a smile as she touched the picture of her father and mother cutting the cake. "Inuyasha that's my father." Kagome said and pointed her dad out.
"Oh…he reminds me of Souta." Inuyasha said and looked at the picture of the man who Kagome said was her father, then he remembered what her mother was talking about only a minute ago. "Kagome, how come I have to wear different robes? And what's wrong with my ears?"
Kagome looked at him and then her eyes wandered to his ears. She figured her mom told Inuyasha he couldn't be dressed like that or have his puppy-dog-ears showing at the wedding with that she frowned.
"Nothing I love your ears." Kagome replied reaching up and touching them much to his annoyance, however he restrained himself from yelling at her.
"Well what about all you're friends Kagome?" Her mother asked.
"Well we'll just do it on one of Inuyasha's human nights." Kagome replied with a smile, and then added for Inuyasha. "It's just that demons aren't normal here so just for my family please?" Kagome asked in a sweet and innocent sounding voice.
Inuyasha sighed, but nodded.
"What about those?" He asked and pointed to the tuxedo.
"Well, that's more of a western style wedding. If we have a traditional Japanese wedding then we can get you something like what you're wearing now just a bit more modernized." Kagome replied.
"Oh that means we get to go kimono shopping for you Kagome! I always wanted to do that." Her mother replied and stood to put the book away.
Inuyasha sighed, he was brought up here to be told what a wedding was. But, he had been sitting here for a little while now and no one had explained a thing except he had to be human and he had to wear odd clothing.
"So anyways you never really explained what a wedding was…" Inuyasha said.
"Oh! My that's why we came up here in the first place isn't it?" Kagome's mom said with a cheerful laugh. "A wedding is when two people who love each other very much proclaim it to all their family and friends. Then everyone celebrates and eats food, and you get exquisite gifts. It's just a wonderful event, and I'm so glad my little Kagome finally gets to have one!"
Inuyasha looked at Kagome's mom and almost laughed in her face, then he realized she was serious and his eyes fell to his feet.
"I have to do that in front of everyone?" Inuyasha asked.
"Well yes dear, why?"
"Why should I have to tell them too?" Inuyasha asked crossing his arms over his chest.
"Well, it's just a way to show how much you really love each other." Kagome's mom said.
"It's okay Inuyasha, you don't actually have to say 'I love you' to me…all you say is 'I do' when the priest asks you if you want to take me as your wife." Kagome explained hoping this would help make it seem better to him.
"I do? That's all?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome nodded with a smile.
"Okay that doesn't sound so bad." Inuyasha said lighting up a bit.
Kagome smiled happy with herself for fixing that problem. She looked to her mom and knew that this was going to be a big event. She didn't really want a big deal wedding just a small one with a few friends and family. However, if she knew her mother there was no way it would be small like that. She just smiled, she would do it and when they got back to the feudal era with Inuyasha, they would have a much nicer and more traditional wedding.
"Now Kagome," Her mother started walking over to her calendar hanging on the wall. "When is his next human night?"
"The new moon." Inuyasha said quietly.
"Okay well the next new moon is in about three weeks." Kagome's mom said. "So we have a little less then a month to plan this wedding."
Kagome sighed and lay down on her back. She put her hand over her belly and smiled at the child inside. If it weren't for her baby none of this would be happening, well at least not this soon.
"So how is my son?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome sat up. "Son?"
"Yep."
"What makes you think it won't be a girl?"
"Because I said it's a boy and that's the end of it."
Kagome stood up and walked to the door of her mother's bedroom, however, before leaving she turned and did the one thing Inuyasha dreaded more then anything. "Sit boy!"
