Chapter 8 The Perfect Dress, Beach Paradise
Kagome sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror. Rin had dressed her up in one of the brides maid dresses on. This was the 6th dress she had tried on. The dress that Rin wanted before wasn't done and wouldn't be done in time for the wedding so they all had to get new dresses.
Behind her Rin sat talking to the seamstress. Kagome could only take so much more. She was ready to rip of the dress and march out. But the look in Rin's eyes made Kagome get a grip over herself. Rin was so happy. So ridiculously happy.
"Kagome…turn one more time." Rin instructed smiling. Kagome did a circle…really slow.
Kagome closed her eyes tightly and clenched her fists. One more…that's all it took just one more…
"Kagome?" said the assistant seamstress coming into the room.
Kagome whirled on her. "WHAT?"
The poor girl paled and held out Kagome's cell phone. "There is a Mister Inuyasha on the phone asking for you."
Kagome let her breathe go as she stomped toward the phone.
"Kagome…the dress!" Rin warned.
RRRRIIPPP!
"GRRR! I don't care! Give me the bloody phone!" Kagome yelled snatching the phone. Kagome was now close to tears. Kagome dashed into the changing area and closed the door after her. After taking three deep breaths she answered it.
"Inuyasha…what do you want?" Kagome asked a little aggravated.
"Wow…um…I am sorry. Maybe I should call back later." Inuyasha suggested nervously. She sounded really stressed.
"No. Thank you for giving me a break. I'm in over my head! I never made this much fuss when I got married! Why is Rin…never mind. I know that answer…I hate this. I have tried on dress after dress and Rin keeps asking for more! I hate this! I want to rip this stupid dress off and march home." Kagome pulling on her dress as if he was there and could see her.
"I am sorry. Just take a deep breath. That's it. But just think…we will be able to go to the beach tomorrow and just relax. Just basking in the sun, and no stuffy dresses to wear." Inuyasha said trying to make her feel better.
"That's if we can chose a dress!" Kagome said leaning against the wall.
"You will. I know you will. I think the real problem is that Rin can't make up her mind and I think that the seamstress is only pressuring her to choose the most expensive dress. Why not have you and Sango choose the dress? I bet Sango is taking this worse than you. How is Kikyo doing?" Inuyasha asked.
"After the 3rd dress they stomped out to get some dinner and said that Rin could use me as a dummy until they got back. So here I am all alone being pricked and poked." Kagome said miserably.
"I am sorry. How about I pick you up and we leave right now?" Inuyasha suggested.
"I would love it, but I promised Rin that I would stay till we found the perfect one. I know what it feels like when everything depends on you. Lets stop talking about it…remind me again…why did you call?" Kagome asked.
"Oh…I just wanted to tell you that Nathan is sick. He was fine when he woke up then around noon he began to cry about his head hurting and that he ached. I put him bed thinking that would do it. But when he woke he felt worse. I tried calling before but I got a busy signal. So I took him to the doctor's office. They said that he probably just had the flu that is going around so they gave me some medicine to give him." Inuyasha explained looking at Nathan sleeping on his bed.
"Is he alright now? Did you give it to him?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha nodded "Yeah. He went out like a light as soon as I gave it to him."
"Where are Kara and Shippo?" Kagome asked.
"They are with Sess getting ice cream cones." Inuyasha chuckled.
Kagome felt a wide smile cross her face. "Cruel. Inuyasha that was cruel! You know how the kids are when they eat sugar! Not to mention the mess in Sess' car."
"He asked for it. He didn't lift a finger to help me when Nathan was sick so I thought I could get a nice revenge."
Kagome shook her head. Then she began to blush as she said, "Inuyasha…about last night…"
"Oh…yeah…I'm sorry if I…scared you. I didn't mean to. I didn't hurt you did I?" Inuyasha asked nervously.
Kagome smiled. "No. No you didn't hurt me." Then in a quiet voice she asked, " I just…want to know…if…you really meant it. The whole… 'I want you' thing."
Inuyasha wished he could laugh. "I do. I mean that and a lot more."
"So…what does that mean…?" Kagome asked.
"We'll I would say that we are Girlfriend and Boyfriend…if we weren't so old. Okay maybe I am the one who is old."
"Really?"
"What? About me being old or-"
Kagome cut him off by laughing. "NO! About…us."
"Then, my dear, I would have to say yes."
"Inuyasha I-" Kagome began but a loud tapping at the door stopped her.
"Kagome! Come on! We have to get this done!" Rin pleaded.
"I'll be out in 5 minutes!" Kagome called before talking to Inuyasha. "One more question…should we tell-" This time Inuyasha interrupted.
"Not until after Rin and Sess tie the knot. I don't want to take any attention away from my brother or Rin. Not to mention all the pressure. Lets talk about it later. Well…come right home. We need to talk before tomorrow and I will have dinner waiting for you." Inuyasha smiled.
"All right. Bye!" Kagome said ringing off. Sighing she hung up her phone. Rubbing her hand through her hair she smiled. Finally…things were going right. For the first time in her life. Maybe life wasn't so bad. Maybe this time she could have some happiness.
Looking up she noticed a dress hanging there. Kagome stared at it. It was perfect! But where had it come form? It wasn't there before…oh well. Kagome ran to it and examined it. YES!
Kagome slipped it on. Rin was going to flip. This was it! "Rin! Come here!" Kagome said opening the door. Coming into the viewing room with the dress on Kagome looked for Rin. She was standing examining a dress. "RIN! I found it!"
Turning around Rin's eyes almost popped out of her head. "OH MY! Kagome! You found it! That is absolutely perfect! It would match the flowers exactly!"
The Seamstress had a deep scowl on her face. The dress in her hands was about 5 times what that dress was worth and she almost sold it to the unsuspecting girl. "You don't want that one. That is last years style." She waved her hand at the offending dress.
Rin had a hurt look in her eyes as she submitted. Kagome was not going down that easily!
"Good styles never go out of style. Rin…this is perfect. It is beautiful, it matches the flowers, plus it is cheap! It is perfect!" Kagome said looking Rin in the eye.
Slowly Rin smiled. "You're right." Then turning to the seamstress she said with a happy smile. "We will take 4 of these."
"Wait, 4?" Kagome asked. "I thought it was just going to be Sango, Kikyo, and me."
"Did I forget to mention…I invited my stepsister to be a brides maid too."? Rin said not looking up at Kagome.
"Wait…you invited…Susanna? I thought you hated each other!" Kagome exclaimed.
"We do…but this way my step mom won't be able to yell at me for not inviting." Rin said picking up her purse.
"You know she is going to complain about Sess right?" Kagome asked unsure this was a good idea.
"Yep. Then I can finally tell her to shove off. For then I will belong to Sess and not her. I cannot wait to yell back at her." Rin said moving toward the paying counter.
"All right." Kagome said a little unsure. "Well…I got to get going. Inuyasha is waiting for me."
"Oh! Inuyasha is waiting for you…that are so sweet! Are you two a couple yet?"
Kagome shook her head. "No. It's just that he has Nathan and Nathan is sick so I have to relieve Inuyasha of sick duty."
"Nathan has been getting sick a lot lately. Maybe he has something really bad." Rin said with sympathy.
"I have taken him to the doctors several times now…and they keep saying it is just a slight flu. Anyway…Sess has Kara and Shippo while I believe Miroku and Naruku are working tonight."
Rin asked confused, "Why does Sess have Kara and Shippo?"
"He decided that he should take the kids out to get ice cream." Kagome said feeling a smile cross her face.
"NO! Oh he is going to flip when—" Rin never got to finish. Rin cell phone interrupted and as soon as Rin answered a very mad demon came roaring over the phone.
Kagome laughed as she watched Rin try to calm Sess. At that moment Sango and Kikyo returned only to see Rin battling with Sess over the phone. After listening in for 5 minutes they began to laugh.
After a good 20 minutes Rin hung up. "Well, that does it! Kagome? Can I get a ride home with you? Sess is at a Car place getting it cleaned."
"Aren't the kids with him?" Kagome asked.
"Yes…so?"
"How about we go pick up Sess and the kids? Then I can drop you both off and I'll take Kara and Shippo home." Kagome said reaching for keys in her purse.
"That would be great." Rin then turned to the Seamstress. "When can we pick up the dresses?"
"Tomorrow around noon." She said a little haughty. She was still bitter of not being able to sucker the poor girl into something expensive.
"Perfect." Rin said smiling.
"You guys finally picked out a dress?" Sango asked in disbelief.
Rin looked back at Sango's surprised face. "Yeah…Kagome found it when she was talking to Inuyasha. But that is over. You will love it!"
"Come on. I want to get home." Kikyo said marching out. All the girls grinned.
"How bad was she?" Kagome asked Sango.
Sango took a deep breath and rolled her eyes. "If I didn't know her I would say that she is a full blooded demon. Just like you were when you had Kara."
"Doesn't that mean that she is getting there?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah…that is what Sess says anyway. But she still has about another month or two to go." Rin said fallowing Kikyo.
"Just don't let her hear you say that." Sango whispered as they exited the store.
"Come on...Naruku is waiting for me." Kikyo growled.
"All right…see you guys tomorrow at the beach!" Sango said leading Kikyo to her car.
"Bye! Okay Rin…lets go." Kagome said leading the way to her car.
"So let me guess…Sess doesn't want you to have your own car because he likes know where you are and who you are with." Kagome said getting to her car.
"Yeah…Oh I want to thank you for your advice the other night. It helped. I just can't wait till we get to the I do's." Rin said leaning back in her chair.
"So where is this place?" Kagome asked.

Inuyasha watched Nathan's chest rise and fall with every breath. Inuyasha felt so bad for the little boy. Shippo always had a tuff time bouncing back to normal after getting sick and Inuyasha prayed that it wouldn't be the same for Nathan.
Inuyasha let his thoughts drift to Kagome. Things couldn't have gone better between them. Here he was on the third day of his arrival and Kagome and him were back together. Wow…Inuyasha just couldn't believe how fast it took them. This was unnatural…he should have least waited for another date before doing what he did. Inuyasha was just thankful that Kagome felt the same way…well…sort of the same way he felt about her.
This just had to be too good to be true. How did life get so…wonderful? Inuyasha hoped that his luck would hold out. Sighing Inuyasha got up and went to the kitchen to start dinner. Looking through all of her cupboards he decided to make Ramen noodle soup for Nathan, Macaroni and cheese for Kara and Shippo, and Steak and Mash potatoes for the adults.
As Inuyasha began filling up the pots with water the phone rang. Inuyasha picked up and held it in place with his shoulder.
"Hello?" Inuyasha said putting the pots on the stove.
"Hi! I Just picked up the kids and we are on our way home. Do you want me to pick up dinner?" Kagome asked looking in her mirror watching the two kids talk quietly.
"No…how long do you think it is going to take you to get home?" Inuyasha asked.
Kagome thought for moment before saying. "A good half an hour. It depends on traffic."
"I will have dinner waiting, then. Nathan is doing better by the way. He is breathing a lot easier now. Oh and how is Sess?" Inuyasha asked.
"Not good." Kagome laughed. "I had to pick up Sess and the kids. You should have seen Sess. He was so mad. He just stood there quietly with a horrible red face as if he was a balloon ready to pop. Oh my! The kids were still laughing when we pulled up. Apparently Sess had gotten pulled over and everything was a mess."
Inuyasha laughed. "How was the car?"
"It was horrible! Sess had gotten them waffle cones double scooped so they smeared it all over the walls and widows. Sess is going to need deep cleaning they said." Kagome couldn't help but laugh.
"Deserves him right. Though I do feel a little guilty." Inuyasha said with a smile.
"You should! Anyway…I will see you soon. Got to go! Bye!" Kagome said hanging up.
Inuyasha smiled as he hung up the phone. Kagome would soon be in his arms once again. Again the phone began to ring.
"Hello? This is Inuyasha."
"Inuyasha? Oh thank goodness I got a hold of you."
"Amanda? Amanda what are you doing calling me? This is my break!" Inuyasha growled. Amanda was his new secretary. She was about 23…he thought…and she was completely air headed. Not to mention she freaked out at the sight of blood. When he had gotten a paper cut she was ready to call 911 immediately.
"Sir, I hope you forgive me but there is a man here that says he is scheduled for a brain surgery and-" Then there was a muffled sound fallowed by a low gruff voice over the phone.
"Inuyasha? It's me…Kouga. Anime just got a cat scan two days ago. The tumor has got to come out NOW. The doctor said I needed to get a hold of you and your new secretary wouldn't tell me your number." Kouga said in a big hurry. He sound very scared.
Kouga's wife, Anime, was one of his extreme cases. Anime had come 3 weeks ago into his office and they decided to wait awhile before operating so that if she didn't make it out of it alive…she had time to be with her family. They had set a date 2 weeks prior to now.
"All right. How bad is it?" Inuyasha asked groaning inside. How could he leave Kagome to deal with Hojo and the wedding?
"He said it was now advanced about 1 an 1/2 inch." Kouga said panicking.
"All right. Let me book a flight then I am coming home. We will do it the day after I get back." Inuyasha said going to the computer and typing in the Airports address.
"How soon can you come home?" Kouga asked gripping the phone.
"SHOOT! Kouga…the earliest flight that I can get is in 4 days. Can you wait that long?" Inuyasha asked cursing the Airport. If he left now he could maybe back for the very end of the wedding and he could still be there when Hojo came.
"So that means that the surgery will happen what? 5 days from now?" Kouga asked.
"Yes. I am very sorry. If you can find me an earlier flight than I will come home on that. Other than that I will be arriving in 4 days at 10:00 at night." Inuyasha said thinking.
"What time will my wife go in for the operation?" Kouga asked.
"About…nine the next day. It should only take till 4, but if it is worse than we expected then…till 6 at the most." Inuyasha said rubbing his eyes.
"All right…if that is the best then we'll do it. Hey Inuyasha? Thanks…thanks for being willing to leave your vacation to come and save my wife's life. I wish you to be blest for what you are doing."
"No problem. It's my job." Inuyasha said hanging up. Sighing he stood up and went into the kitchen. The macaroni was ruined and same with Kagome's and his dinner. Great. Inuyasha wanted to break down and cry. He could use some of those blessings now.

Kagome shut the front door after the kids ran in. Then she headed up the stairs to the most wonderful aroma. Kagome looked at the table and on top was 3 boxes of pizza.
"WOW! Mommy look! Inuyasha got us pizza! Wow! This is better than anything you make!" Kara exclaimed to happy.
Inuyasha came up behind Kagome and hugged her from behind. "Now I wouldn't say that. Your Mom makes wonderful meals." Then to Kagome he whispered, "Can I see you after dinner? Something came up."
"Sure. Are you okay?" Kagome asked looking into Inuyasha's eyes.
"Yeah just a little business, that's all." Inuyasha said with a weak smile.
Kagome smiled "Okay." Then turning to the kids she said, "So who wants what?"
After Dinner…
"Are the kids in bed?" Inuyasha asked as he finished washing off the table.
"Yep. And they are sound asleep." Kagome said picking up the broom.
"Good. I am sorry about dinner. I had a nice quiet dinner arranged when I got a call." Inuyasha said going into the kitchen.
"Is that what you wanted to talk to me about? About the dinner?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha stuck his head out of the kitchen door. "No…but it leads into that. I got a call from work. Apparently one of my clients needs to have an emergency operation done."
Kagome went still and turned to look at him. At first Kagome found it hard to talk because it felt like a huge lump was stuck in her throat. When she cleared it the best she could she asked, "When do you have to leave."
"I have 4 days. I should be back in 6 though."
"Be back?"
"Yes…I…Look…I hate dragging Shippo all the way back home only to bring him back again. Besides he would just be alone the whole time. How about I leave Shippo here and when I come back he can be here saving my bed for me." Inuyasha said looking into her eyes.
"I...would love to have Shippo here…I just…why…why would you come back?" Kagome asked looking at the floor.
Inuyasha smiled. Then he walked up to her and slowly he took the broom out of her hands and dumped it off to the side. Then he pulled her into his arms. Inuyasha locked eyes with her before speaking. "You don't think I am going to let you go again, did you? That was living nightmare, and I am not willing to go back there where I was."
Kagome felt tears run down her face as she hugged him tightly. "I'm glad. I am not willing to lose you again."
Inuyasha pulled back and kissed her. After a while Kagome pulled back.
"So…tomorrow we are going to the beach right?" Inuyasha asked looking into her eyes.
"Yeah…we are meeting there around noon. Sess and Rin are in charge of drinks and Miroku and Sango are in charge of sandwiches and we are in charge of getting the chips and snacks." Kagome said tilting her head to the side.
"Okay. Are we going to stop on the way to the beach to pick up the stuff or what?" Inuyasha asked.
"Oh! I must have forgotten them in the car!" Kagome said jumping away from him and running down stairs.
" Oh no!" Inuyasha ran after laughing.
After they got the food up stairs into the kitchen Inuyasha sat down at the table and watched Kagome put the food away. When Kagome caught him staring she said, "What?"
"Nothing…you are just so… beautiful." Inuyasha said simply. Kagome laughed as he stood up and wrapped his arms around her.
"Inuyasha…"
"What?"
"Can we talk? I know we talked briefly on the phone and all but…I need to get a few things straight." Kagome said taking a deep breath.
"Like what?" Inuyasha asked.
"Like…I want to be with you. I want to date you and I think I love you…" Kagome broke off adverting her eyes.
"But?"
Kagome took another deep breath before continuing, "But…I am a single woman that has to raise two kids and keep an ex-husband at bay. A lot depends on me. I'm sorry but I can't deal with a relationship right now. Can you…we…back things up a bit until…later?"
"How about we wait until the wedding is over? I know I said it on the phone but I don't think I made it clear enough. It's not that I don't want people to know but…like you said things are moving…quickly and I can understand if you want to slow things down. In fact I think we should, but let's not tell anybody anything until we know exactly were we stand. Okay? How does that sound?" Inuyasha asked taking his hand and gently moving her head so that she looked into his eyes.
Kagome found it hard and nearly impossible to do anything once those Golden orbs captured hers. Kagome barley found the strength to nodd.
"Good. I just want you to know that…I am not leaving this time around and I want you. I don't know were we are headed…but I know I want you with me. Even though the world might be coming to end I would be okay as long as I had you with me." Inuyasha whispered tracing her face with a claw.
Kagome could barley see anything through her tears. Her heart was pounding widely. Kagome put her hands around his neck and pushed him down a little so she could capture his lips with hers.

"Kagome! Where are you? We are going to be late!" Inuyasha yelled as he packed the picnic basket. Inuyasha had on a sleeveless red shirt with his black and white swim trunks.
"I'm coming!" Kagome called as she put Kara in her blue swimsuit.
"Mommy? What's this?" Kara asked pointing to the animal that was printed on her swimsuit.
"It's a yellow rubber duck, honey. Shippo? Nathan? Where are you boys?" Kagome called.
"Right here!" Shippo yelled running in with Nathan fallowing.
"Nathan…Come here. I want to feel your head." Kagome said as looked at them.
Shippo wore bright yellow trunks with a great white shark flexing his muscles printed on them. Nathan wore a red trunks with a Black line on either side.
When Nathan came over Kagome put her hand on his head. It was cool. Kagome let a sigh of relief. "All right time to go!" Inuyasha called.
"Okay! I'll race you guys to daddy!" Kagome said before she could stop herself.
Shippo, Nathan, and Kara hit the ground running.
Inuyasha watched on the brink of laughter as he watched the three kids running all over each other to get to him his first.
Kara amazingly reached him first. "I win! I touched Daddy first!" Kara screamed.
Inuyasha's eyes went wide as he heard Kara scream those words he longed to hear. Inuyasha looked up to see Kagome holding a video camera. Kagome merely smiled and waved.
"We are ready to go to the beach! Everyone grab a towel!" Kagome called as she shut put down the camera not really shutting it off.
Shippo, Nathan, and Kara ran and grabbed a towel of the table and ran downstairs to the garage.
When they were gone Inuyasha smiled at Kagome and walked toward her with a wicked smile.
"Oh no! Inuyasha! The camera is still on!" Kagome laughed as she backed off.
"Then shut it off." Inuyasha said as he pulled her gruffly into his arms and kissed.
Meanwhile Kagome had turned the camera up so it caught the kissing thing from the bottom. When Inuyasha pulled away he backed up the camera so it got the side view of them. "And that is how you make the fair maiden stop complaining."
"INUASHA!"
"I am just kidding babe." Inuyasha laughed as he kissed her quickly.
"MOMMY!"
"Coming!" Kagome called as she shut off the camera and picked up her's and Inuyasha's towels and beech bag.
Inuyasha picked up the picnic basket and hand in hand they went downstairs to join the kids.
2 hours later and 5 potty breaks…
Luckily they were the first ones there so they got to choose the perfect spot. While Kagome and Inuyasha set up their spot, the kids ran down to the ocean to stick their feet in the water.
Inuyasha pulled out the camera and focused it on Kagome who was folding the towels and putting them in a stack.
"Where is your swim suit little lady?" Inuyasha asked as he focused on her jeans and tee shirt.
"As soon as Sango comes I will go put it on. I don't want to leave my kids alone." Kagome said smiling into the video camera.
"What am I chop liver?" Inuyasha asked pretending to be hurt.
"No…I just feel better having a woman watch my kids." Then looking into his eyes she laughed, "I love you anyway."
"You better watch it. Or the thing that I nearly did last night will happen right here in front of everybody." Inuyasha dared.
Kagome blushed and smile bashfully.
Thankfully Sango ran up dragging Miroku. Sango was wearing exactly what Kagome was.
"What is with this? All the woman decided to wear jeans and a tee shirt to the beach instead of a swimsuit?" Inuyasha asked putting a hand on his fore head.
Sango laughed. "Yep. Come on Kagome…lets go change."
"I thought we were going to wait for Kikyo and Rin." Kagome said tilting her head.
"Sess is up at the changing area right now because he says he is not going to let his girl get mugged one day before they get married. He is being very paranoid. Naruku just called to tell you your cell phone isn't working and he is making Kikyo stay at home. She had a fever this morning and a little faint thing and he got scared so he is making her stay in bed. Amazingly she hasn't fought back. I think it is almost time." Sango said picking up Kagome's bag of clothes.
Kagome stood up and dusted the sand off of her pants. "Okay. Inuyasha? Can you watch the kids for a moment?"
"Sure. Miroku and I would be more than happy to." Inuyasha said smiling.
"Yeah…sure." Miroku said rolling his eyes.
"I'll be right back." Sango promised as she kissed Miroku.
"Hurry up. I want to see the bathing suit!" Miroku called after.
"What?" Inuyasha asked looking at Miroku.
"Apparently All the girls went shopping together and picked out really nice swim suits and Sango wouldn't let me see." Miroku pouted.
Inuyasha laughed as he shut off the camera and set it down. "Miroku? Stay here and watch the camera. I am going to go down to the beach to see the kids." After walking a few steps he turned and added. "I suggest you don't even look at another girl either. If Sango comes back and sees…you is dead meat."
"What
do take me for?"
"A lecher."
"Good."
Inuyasha laughed as he ran down to find the kids struggling to keep a sand castle up against the crashing waves. Inuyasha knelt down and began to help them.
"So…Kara…What made you say…Daddy today?" Inuyasha asked cautiously.
"Mommy said that we were going to race to Daddy. And since you are the only male that kisses mommy we knew it was you. Are you my Daddy?" Kara asked suddenly.
Inuyasha had to take a deep breath before answering. "I would like to be."
"Good. Mommy like you a lot and I like you." Kara said nodding.
"Are you guys going to get married?" Nathan asked. The intensity in Nathan's eyes was devastating.
"I would like to but your mother is a little scared to." Inuyasha said smiling.
"Inuyasha? Why…Why aren't you my Daddy?" Nathan asked.
"What?" Inuyasha asked not fallowing along.
"If you are Kara's Daddy then you can't be mine." Nathan said looking down at his feet.
Meanwhile…
"So…what is going on in the house of love?" Sango asked from the stall next to her.
"Nothing." Kagome said making her voice steady.
"Don't give me that! I saw you guys kissing!" Sango said accusingly.
"How could you if we haven't kissed?" Kagome asked keeping her voice cool.
"I know you have. There is that look in your eye that tells me more is going on then what you are letting on." Sango's voice sounded like her boss demanding an explanation.
"There is nothing to tell. Nor is there going to be until after the wedding." Kagome said slipping on her white short shorts.
"YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED?" Sango exclaimed.
"What? What did I miss?" Rin's voice came through the next stall over.
"Kagome and Inuyasha are getting married!" Sango practically sang.
"No! We-" Kagome tried but then Rin cut her off.
"Oh my goodness! This is way to cool! What colors themes are you doing?" Rin asked excited.
"Anything but pink! Last time you picked pink your marriage went down the drain so we need a fresh color." Sango's voice was full of authority.
"NO! We-" Again she was cut off.
"Blue. There you go! The theme is going to be blue." Rin said smiling.
Kagome opened up her door and walked out slamming the stall door making everything go quiet.
"FOR. THE. LAST. TIME. WE. ARE. NOT. GETTING. MARRIED! I meant after RIN'S wedding! NOTHING IS HAPPINGING UNTIL RIN AND SESS TIE THE KNOT!" Kagome screamed with her fist's clenched.
An uncomfortable silence fallowed… then Sango spoke up clearing her throat. "Oh…okay."
Kagome rolled her eyes and said in a husky voice, "I'm going to wait outside."
As soon as Kagome opened up the door she saw Sess pacing. When he saw her he ran over. "What happened? Where is Rin? Is she alright?"
"Just a fight between friends. Rin is in the bathroom and physically she is in perfect condition…mentally…all I can say is I have no idea why you are marrying her." Kagome said harshly.
"All I did was ask."

Inuyasha motioned to Kara and Nathan. "Nathan…Kara…come here. I am not your Father. I am neither Kara's nor Nathan's. I am Shippo's Daddy. When I marry your mother…I THEN will become BOTH of your Fathers."
Kara looked into his face. "You aren't going to leave Mommy like our other Daddies did?"
Inuyasha smiled. "No. I am not going anywhere until your Mother says to."
"Good." Nathan said smiling.
"MOMMY!" Kara cried out looking over Inuyasha's shoulder.
Inuyasha turned around to find Kagome behind him smiling. She wore a White Tang top and Short Shorts. Inuyasha guessed she had a swimsuit underneath because of the black tie that went our her neck and tied in the back.
"What are you guy's doing?" Kagome asked.
"Building a castle. Daddy was just helping us fix it." Nathan said jumping away from Inuyasha to show her the castle.
"Oh my! It could use some work couldn't it?" Kagome said looking at the half destroyed castle.
"Yeah…nothing seems to work." Shippo said holding a sand bucket
"How about we build it away from the waves?" Inuyasha suggested.
Kara, Nathan, and Shippo exchanged glances before saying, "Okay."
Kagome took Nathan and Shippo's hands as Inuyasha picked up Kara and fallowed.
Meanwhile Rin was laying out in the sun when a shadow fell on her. "Hey! Move out of my sun!" Rin growled.
"No. Not until we put sunscreen on." A gruff voice said.
"Sess! I am just fine." Rin objected.
Sess snorted.
Rin sat up and took off her sunglasses. "If I put some on will you move?" Rin asked.
Sess shook his head as he sat behind her. "I will let you sun bathe after I put the sunscreen on you."
"Sess!"
"There is no discussion. Hand me the sunscreen."
Rin grumbled as she handed him the sunscreen. Sess took the bottle and put some onto his hands then began rubbing it on Rin's back.
Sess couldn't take his eyes off of his girl. Today she let her long hair down and wore a bright red string bikini. His girl was drop dead gorgeous.
Just then a Beach boy ran up. "Hey hot stuff! Want to play some ball?"
Rin was about decline him nicely when Sess growled at him. "No she wouldn't. Leave."
"Tuff love. Lady…you deserve better. Come with me and I'll show you a real good time." He said flashing her a smile.
Sess was about to say something when Rin put a hand on his chest. After calming him down she turned to the Beach Boy.
"Why would I go for a mere mortal when I have a God? Thank you but he is all I want and more. There is no way you could compete with him." Rin said smiling.
"Shall we challenge that?" He asked with his eyes gleaming.
"Sure. What do you propose?" Rin said leaning back on Sess's chest.
"A volley ball tournament. Him against me." He said smiling.
"I'm afraid he hasn't ever played that game before." Rin said smiling confidently.
The Beach boy laughed. "I thought he was a God. Brief him in and he should be an expert right? Lets go."
Rin looked up at Sess. Sess looked back at Rin. "Okay. Lets go."
Rin stood up and helped Sess up. "How do I play?"
"It's easy. There is a net right? All you have to do is make sure the ball goes over the net and never touches the ground. If the ball touches the ground on his side you get a point. If the ball lands on your side…he gets a point. Oh and you can't catch the ball. You have to keep the ball in motion." Rin said leading him to the volley ball "court".
The Beach Boy was already on his side twirling a ball on his finger.
"Ready?" He asked.
"Can he get two practice hits?" Rin asked
"Sure."
The beach boy served it up and hit it. It sailed over the net and Sess hit it back. It sailed back over the net and landed on the corner of the other guys spot.
Rin cheered.
"Is that ALL?" Sess asked looking at her. Rin nodded with a smile. "Okay no more practice. Lets get to the real deal."
10 minutes later
"Sess! You won!" Rin said throwing her arms around his neck.
Sess looked at her funny. "Of course. It was just a pups game."
"I know but…you had me worried for a minute." Rin said shrugging.
"Was I that bad?" Sess asked.
Rin Laughed. "NO! You were perfect. I love you." Rin said leaning up to kiss him.
"You'd better after what I spent on the wedding." Sess joked
"But aren't I worth more?"
"At least 10 times that amount." Sess said sitting down and drawing her into his lap.
Next to them Sango was laying next to Miroku still making out.
"Okay…Break it up. You haven't done anything but kiss the whole time!" Rin said hitting Sango.
"How do you know? You weren't here! We actually went out into the ocean for a little while." Miroku said smiling.
"Yeah and you probably scared all the little fishes away with what you did!" Rin said scowling.
"So what?" Sango asked shrugging.
"Can someone bring the video camera?" Inuyasha called from where he and the kids were playing.
Rin picked up the camera and Ran it to Kagome. Kagome turned it on and showed all the sculptors they made. Kara was in a sand car driving away, Nathan was in the middle of a huge sandcastle, and While Shippo was a huge whale. Next, Inuyasha looked like a huge monster with fangs was eating him. Kagome then counted to 5 and when she got to 5 all the kids destroyed all the sculptors.
"That was fun! Lets make more!" Nathan yelled.
"No…why don't you all go by Uncle Sess and if you ask real nice he'll bury you guys." Inuyasha said coming behind Kagome.
After the kids ran to Sess Kagome turned around and began to brush out Inuyasha's hair.
"Your hair isn't white anymore. I would say you are a VERY dirty blonde." Kagome laughed.
Inuyasha gently grasped her wrists. "Take it off."
Kagome's eyes went bug. "What?"
"Take the shirt off. I want to see the suit."
"Just as soon as you take off your shirt."
Inuyasha smiled and grabbed the shirt and pulled off with both of his hands. Kagome reached out of it and took it back to where their group was. Then she took off her top.
Inuyasha couldn't help staring. She wore a black bikini and had her hair pulled back into a messy ponytail. It should have been illegal the way she wore the suit.
Kagome was thinking along the same lines. No man…demon…had the right to have such a great body.
Inuyasha took her hand and they raced into the water.
