Abandon

Foxgem: Well here we are at chapter 9. Wow….I never thought I would get this far. Okay thanks to everyone who at least read my story…and a special thanks to those who reviewed. Now onto the story! HOLY CRAP! This is a warning! I am now in the rhyming cycle…read the title of the chapter!

Chapter 9 A Crazy Night, and a Wedding Night

Kagome opened the front door quietly so not to awake Kara who she held in her arms. Kagome held the door open with her foot so Inuyasha could come through with both boys in his arms. Kagome shut the door and fallowed Inuyasha up the stairs to the kid's bedrooms. At the top of the stairs Kagome dropped the beach bag and the towels before continuing the journey to kids room.

Kagome got Kara in her Pj's while Inuyasha did the same to Shippo and Nathan. After Kagome was done putting Kara in bed, she took Kara's clothes and left to go put them in the laundry room. When she got there, she found the laundry room a mess. Kagome sighed. It was time to do laundry again. As Kagome was putting in a load Inuyasha came in.

"What are you doing?" Inuyasha asked curious.

"Doing laundry. I think it is time to start again." Kagome said picking up clothes and putting them in.

"Now? At midnight?"

"It can't wait."

"Kagome you are still in your swim suit! Go and take a bath before you even touch this! It is time for you to rest."

Kagome shook her head. "No. I have been really lazy lately. It is time to pick up the pace."

"For once let it all go."

"I can't, Inuyasha."

"Why in heavens name?"

"I have 3 children and I cannot slack up. They depend on me."

Inuyasha gabbed her arm and turned her around. "3? You said 3."

Kagome blushed furiously then she yanked her arm out of his grasp and turned her back to him. "So, what if I did? You know what I meant. I am just…tired and I can't think straight…" Kagome stuttered trying to explain.

Inuyasha walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. "Don't get the wrong idea. I think it is a wonderful that you think Shippo is yours."

"What…?" Kagome asked shutting the door on the laundry.

"Because at least that ties me to you."

Kagome turned around to look into Inuyasha's golden orbs. "Inu-"

"Shhh." Inuyasha whispered as he closed any space between them. "I told you I would wait until after the wedding and you know how I keep to my word. I will…but only that long. I love you Kagome." With that Inuyasha turned around and walked out.

For a split second Kagome hesitated. Then she bolted after him. She caught up to him on the stairs. "Inuyasha?"

Inuyasha turned around to face her. "Yes?"

Kagome kept walking till she was on the same step that he was on. "I…I don't want you to leave…"

Inuyasha smiled and pushed back her hair that was in her face. "I know, but I have to go anyway."

"No…I mean…oh bloody ashes! Come down here!" Kagome ordered.

Inuyasha looked confused but he came down as she asked.

"Here you are telling a girl that you love her and then what do you do? Go up and run and never giving her a chance to say anything." Kagome said crossing her arms and tapping her foot.

"Um…so what do you want to say?"

Kagome swallowed hard and began to look around the room nervously. "Um…you know…uh…would…would you mind if…. You know how I am afraid of the dark right…. well, would it be any trouble if you slept with me tonight?"

Instantly she was in Inuyasha's arms, "No trouble at all."

Kagome buried her head in his chest. It felt so wonderful.

Inuyasha swung her up in his arms and walked to her bedroom, but instead of lying her on the bed he set her on her feet. "Hurry up and get changed. I will be down in a minute."

Kagome looked after him in confusion. Shouldn't they be on her bed…you know? Kagome shrugged absently and took her Pj's into the bathroom to change. Men!

Kagome came out about ten minutes later and found no Inuyasha. Where was he?

Kagome paced the room for another ten minutes before she gave up. Fine if he wasn't going to come to her then she was going to him. Kagome flew up the stairs and practically ran to his bedroom.

Inuyasha was lying in bed watching the ceiling ready to fall asleep when Kagome barged in. "What in Sam HLL?" Inuyasha managed to get out before Kagome hit him with a pillow.

"Where were you?" Kagome said crossing her arms and tapping her foot.

"What? Kagome! I have been here going to bed!" Inuyasha said looking at that foot tap away.

"Exactly! You left me alone and you promised you wouldn't."

"Kagome, I am exhausted and I know that you are too. How am I to keep my promise about waiting till after the wedding if I come and sleep with you? You know something is going to happen other than just sleeping. We are just too tired to stop ourselves." Inuyasha said standing up.

"So you lied to me!"

"I thought you would be out like a light as soon as your head hit the pillow!" Inuyasha said trying to defend himself.

"Yeah well you misunderstood! I don't want to wait! I have no idea what prodded you to promise something like that but I don't want it! I have waited too long for you! If 10 years isn't long enough I don't know what is!" Kagome said with her foot tapping faster.

Inuyasha felt his mouth open in shock. When he found his voice he managed "But…Kagome…we…can't…"

"Oh we can! Why must you make this so difficult?"

"….but…Kagome?"

"You said you loved me right?"

"Right…but what has that got to do with –"

"I'll tell you what! During the whole course of our relationship you never ever told me how you felt about me. Never. Now all of a sudden you admit to me that you love me. Now it is my turn to take a step."

"I would love to, but-"

"MEN!" Kagome said as if that was a cuss word then she grabbed his shirt and dragged him out of his room and down the stairs towards her room.

"Kagome!" Inuyasha asked laughing inside.

"Again it is I who has to take the first step." Kagome said dragging him into her room.

Inuyasha laughed as he shut the door behind them. "You're sure? About this?" Inuyasha asked taking her into his arms.

"Dead sure. Now…come here." Kagome said kissing him.

Inuyasha couldn't help chuckling as he led her to the bed. He never expected Kagome to make this move and truth be told she never thought it either.

1

Inuyasha woke up first to see his woman laying next to him sleeping soundly. He touched her cheek with his hand as he tried to register everything that happened. Inuyasha sat up and stretched. He almost laughed as he saw their clothes all over the floor. In a blur he saw himself tearing at her clothes as she tore at his. They probably ruined their clothes. Oh well…

Inuyasha quietly got out of bed and went into the bathroom. It was time to get ready the wedding. Inuyasha turned on the shower and got in.

Kagome woke as the shower turned on. Who was taking a shower in- Oh. Kagome blushed as she thought about last night. In a blur she remembered everything. It felt so …good. So good. Kagome shivered as she remembered how held her. For once she felt so safe. In his arms nothing could ever touch her. Whatever life threw at her it couldn't touch her with his arms wrapped around her. Even Hojo couldn't touch when she was in Inuyasha's arms.

Kagome stretched happily when her bedroom door opened and three scampering children ran into the room and jumping onto the bed. It was then that Kagome remembered that she was not dressed.

"Kids! Can you please leave mommy alone for a few minutes…KIDS? NATHAN, SHIPPO, KARA!" Kagome tried to tell them but like usual they weren't listening. Finally Kagome gave up and called in for back up. "Inuyasha!" Kagome cried as she covered herself in front of the kids. Inuyasha appeared two seconds later in her bathrobe.

"What?" Inuyasha asked looking at her.

"Can you get the kids…?" Kagome asked motioned to the way she was.

Inuyasha's eyes widened in laughter. "Come on kids. Everyone out. Mommy needs to get ready for the wedding today. Shippo? Go turn on the TV, K? I will up soon to help you guys."

The kids laughed and ran out racing for the remote. Inuyasha shut the door and locked it. Then he turned around to face Kagome.

"Better?" Inuyasha asked smiling.

"Much." Kagome then began to laugh hysterically.

"What?"

Kagome held her sides and managed to get out, "You…in…my…. bathrobe!"

Inuyasha smiled. "You asked me to come and I came. I would be grateful if I were you."

"I…am…"Kagome tried to breathe.

Then Inuyasha got a nasty idea. He walked up to her and kissed her as she sucked in for a breath. When they parted Kagome had gasp for breathe. "That…was…not…nice…" Kagome said breathing heavily.

"Yeah well laughing at me isn't nice either." Inuyasha said kissing her again softer this time.

He felt her giggle under his lips. When they parted Kagome traced his face with a finger.

"Hey…you want to take a shower?" Inuyasha asked.

"Don't we have to get the kids ready?" Kagome looked at him with a smile.

"We can take a quick one. Come on." Inuyasha said swinging her into his arms and taking her to the bathroom. "I even started the water so it is nice and warm."

"How kind." Kagome said rolling her eyes.

Later…

Inuyasha stood fully dressed and looking in the mirror. He had pulled his hair back in a low ponytail and now all he had to do was to tie his tie…but as always he couldn't get it right. He needed help.

Inuyasha walked out of Kagome's and His room and went upstairs to see Kagome in her bathrobe fixing Kara's hair.

Inuyasha had to admire the little girl. She was gorgeous. Kagome pinned back her hair and added tiny blue flowers to it. Sprinkled in her hair looked like there were tiny diamonds. Kara's dress was midnight blue with diamonds scattered all over it. She was…beautiful just as his Kagome.

"Aren't you going to get dressed?" Inuyasha asked looking at her smiling.

Kagome looked up into his face and smiled. "After I make a few adjustments on Kara I will be done and free to get dressed."

"Are the boys finished?" Inuyasha asked.

"See for your self. Nathan! Shippo!" Kagome called.

Inuyasha almost burst out with laughter as he saw them run in. They were in mini tuxes and while Shippo's hair was tied back like Inuyasha's, Nathan's hair was greased back. They looked grand. Shippo had a blue flower similar to Kara's while Nathan had a bright red one.

"What is up with the flowers?" Inuyasha asked pretending to pout. "How come they get one and I don't?"

"You can't get a flower until mommy gives you a kiss!" Nathan laughed.

"Yeah! That's a rule!" Shippo said jumping up and down.

Inuyasha made a face that made the boys laugh.

"And what is wrong with my kisses?" Kagome asked about to laugh. Kagome walked over to a box of flowers and brought out a red one.

"Red? Why didn't we all get blue?" Inuyasha asked watching her walk up to him.

"Nathan picked these special out for just you two." Kagome said with something in her eyes.

"Oh…in that case. Tie it on." Inuyasha said smiling at Nathan. "I guess it is worth a kiss."

Kagome kissed him while all the other kids roared with laughter.

Inuyasha parted from the kiss smiling. "Now it is Kagome's turn to get ready."

"Don't you need help with your tie?" Kagome asked going for it.

Inuyasha jerked back. "You get ready first. Then we will worry about the tie."

"Fine!" Kagome laughed as she ran downstairs to their room.

Just then the phone rang. Inuyasha picked it up to find his brother on the other side freaking out.

"Inuyasha? What is going to happen? What am I doing? Should I get married? What am I getting myself into?" Sess' voice was in panic. Inuyasha almost laughed. This is what he went through during his last two marriages.

"Sess? Do you love Rin?"

"How do I know that I am in love?"

"Sess! Okay looks like we will start at base #1…can you ever imagine yourself ever hurting her?"
"NO! It would kill me to ever harm her in any way!"

Inuyasha smiled. "Okay…at least we know that you love her as a friend. Do you think you could stand it if you were standing in the crowd watching her getting married to me?"

"She is MINE, brother." Sess growled through the phone. Where was his brother going?

"Good. Don't worry Sess…everything is going to be all right. I did this the last two times I have been married. You get scared and then second thoughts start to come. Believe me. All the thoughts will leave as soon as you see her walking toward you. As soon as you see her in her white dress…it is going to be hard to think of anything else but her."

"Really?" Sess asked relieved.

"Positive. Now hurry and get ready! Don't leave Rin waiting for you." Inuyasha said smiling.

Sess nodded before adding. "Thanks."

"You're welcome." Inuyasha said hanging up the phone.

"INUYASHA?" Kagome called from their room

"Coming!" Inuyasha called as he ran down the stairs and toward their room. When he opened it his mouth feel open. She…she…there was no word to describe her. She wore a bigger version of what Kara wore…with a few differences. She had a slit up to the middle of her right thigh and it was topless. Kagome's skin glowed.

"Can you help zip me up?" Kagome asked as she looked at him.

Inuyasha shut his mouth and nodded. Inuyasha zipped it up and he kissed her neck. "INUYASHA!"

"You look too good." Inuyasha growled as he wrapped his arms around her middle.

Kagome rolled her eyes. "All I have done is put on the dress. I haven't even done my hair or make-up yet!"

"Gorgeous all the same." Inuyasha said kissing the side of her neck.

"How can I get ready with you hanging on me? Go feed the kids or something!" Kagome laughed as she shoved him out the door.

"You hung on me last night. I thought that it would be my turn today." Inuyasha called through the closed door where he was sure she was blushing madly.

"Oh! Go do something!"

"Kagome! It is time to go!" Inuyasha called through the door.

"If you hadn't of hung on me I would be done!" Kagome yelled back.

Inuyasha smiled and got the kids by the front door.

"Did someone get my flower?" Kagome called as she put on her high heels.

Inuyasha looked at the delicate blue flower in his hand. "Yes! I have it. Come on!"

"Fine…here I am." Kagome said at last opening the door. It was all Inuyasha could take. If she…did anything more he was sure that they would not be going to a wedding today.

"Gorgeous. Now come on. Lets get in the car." Inuyasha said opening the front door.

Kagome grabbed his arm. "Wait. What about my flower?"

Inuyasha looked at her and smiled. "You do know what the payment is right?"

Kagome shrugged "A kiss right?"

"That is a Childs pricing." Inuyasha shook his head laughing. "Since you are an adult…you have to pay full price. You can pay in full tonight, my little senorita."

Kagome blushed bright red as Inuyasha put the flower in her hair.

"HEY! How come Momma didn't have to get a kiss for her flower?" Kara asked pulling on Inuyasha's pants.

Inuyasha looked into Kagome's laughing eyes. "Well…All right come here Senorita."

Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her waist and dipped her low giving her a hard kiss. The kids clapped and then ran out toward the car. When Inuyasha let her up he whispered, "That was only a small down payment."

"Of course…"

When they got there they found people still running around to get the decorations perfect. Kagome gave Kara, Nathan, and Shippo to her mom to hold onto then left to go find the bride. Inuyasha took off as soon they parked. He had to find Sess before a real panic arouse.

As soon as Inuyasha opened up the door where the groom was, a glass flew past his head and shattered just above him.

"Well…I can see you are taking this well." Inuyasha said dryly shaking the glass out of his hair.

"OH SHUT UP!" Sess growled drinking another glass of brandy.

"No matter how many of those things you drink…it won't take away that feeling that you have." Inuyasha said walking toward Sess.

"I don't care. I want to get drunk!" Sess growled angrily.

Inuyasha smiled. "First off, Rin will kill you if she smells that on your breath. Number 2…you are a full blood demon. I don't know if you have noticed that but…it is pretty hard to get you drunk. So lets put down the brandy."

Inuyasha grabbed the brandy and put it aside. Then after a whiff of Sess' breath he said "WOW! Oh that is awful! Rin will be able to smell that all the way down the aisle. Especially since she is half blood herself."

"I have been drinking since 1 last night." Sess said with no emotion.

"I've noticed…now…come on let's get you smelling good for your bride."

Meanwhile in the brides room…

"Oh I am so excited! I just can't wait! Kagome how do I look?" Rin said looking in the mirror.

Kagome had to admire her. The dress was perfect. It was simple, really. Strapless and clung to her curve nicely then at the bottom it opened up. She was magnificent.

"You look wonderful." Kagome said hugging her.

"Yeah…that is what you would say!" Came a gruff voice behind them.

Kagome turned to find Kikyo in an identical dress to her own (of course much larger since she is pregnant) and with a glass of brandy in her hand.

"Kikyo! You are not supposed to be drinking!" Kagome said reaching for the glass.

"Oh shove off! I spent about 3 hours with my face stuck in the toilet and I am not in the mood for you to be messing with me." Kikyo said shoving her off and sitting down heavily in a chair.

Kagome winced as she saw the chair creek with her every movement. Kagome whispered in Rin's ear, "I'm going to get Naruku. I'll be right back."

Rin grabbed her arm and hissed. "You are going to leave me with…that?"

Kagome looked at her "You can't go and get…you are the bride. You are not supposed to be seen until you walk down the aisle!"

"You had better hurry back!" Rin growled at her.

"Fine."

Kagome ran out and began to look for Naruku. Ten minuets she found him by the water fountain taking some pills.

"What are those for?" Kagome asked.

Naruku shrugged "I just have a really bad headache."

"You have had that for weeks now, huh? You need to get checked out."

"I will…but don't tell Kikyo. She has got a lot on her mind. By the way how is she doing?" Naruku asked.

"That is what I came to tell you about. Kikyo has gotten the alcohol out and is drinking it." Kagome said tapping her foot.

"Where is she?" His voice got very cold all of a sudden. Kagome wanted to shake.

"In the brides room." Kagome said pulling his arm.

Naruku hesitated. "Kagome…I need you to somehow…hide Rin. I cannot lay eyes on the bride until the demon, that she'll marry, does. It is…custom. If I do then for our custom I would have to fight Sess. So please…hide Rin."

"Fine. But I am sure Sess will understand."

"Have you seen Sess? He is a bloody mess! He is on the verge of going crazy. Sess is capable of doing something that rash."

"Okay fine! Here we are. Hold on." Kagome said opening the door and walking in.

When she got in she took Rin's arm and dragged to the bathroom door and shoved her in the bathroom and shut the door.

"KAGOME!" Rin shouted as she pounded on the door.

"That's right. Lock her up. hic She was getting on my nerves." Kikyo murmured.

"OKAY!" Kagome shouted.

Before Kikyo could register what was going on, Naruku charged in and knocked the glass out of her hand shattering it on the floor. Then in one motion he swung her up in his arms and dashed out.

Kagome shut the door behind them and went to open the bathroom door.

Meanwhile…

Kikyo began to pound on Naruku's chest. "Why did you do that?" She demanded angrily.

Naruku looked down at his wife. "Because I love you and our pups. Now…you are going to be forced to sit next to me during the wedding. Since I can't trust you to be alone…you will have to sit next to me and watch the wedding instead of being in it."

Kikyo crossed her arms and refused to look at him.

Naruku had to suppress the urge to laugh then he frowned. "Seriously. You need to take better care of yourself. Demon pups are very hard and rare to have. Most demon women will lock themselves up until the pups are born."

"I am NOT a demon, first off. Second I am NOTHING like your type of woman!" Kikyo yelled at him.

Naruku grabbed her face gently and made her look at him. "Those women are not my type. I married you didn't I? Doesn't that prove that I like your kind better?" Without waiting for an answer he kissed her.

Back in the brides room…

"Well…it is starting in 5 minutes. I bet Sess is really nervous." Kagome said touching up her make-up.

Rin fidgeted with her veil. "Kagome? I am really scared. I mean…what if this doesn't turn out? What if we are not meant for each-"

Kagome rolled her eyes and threw her mascara at Rin. Rin stopped abruptly as soon as it hit her on the head.

"Now that you finally shut up…Rin…would you stop it? Look…Sess a wonderful man, is he not? He loves you and would go through anything just to have you."

"How do you know?"

"I can tell."

"HOW?"

Kagome laughed. "The key to that answer is look in his eyes. When you get down that aisle. Look deep into his eyes and I think that all your doubts will be washed away."

"What about you? I mean…didn't that happen when you married Hojo?" Rin asked.

Kagome looked at her with steady eyes. "No. I saw doubts. I saw a trouble soul and I was sure that I could fix them. But I was wrong. If that doesn't comfort you, then I will tell you something that calmed my mother when she was getting married. When you get down to that aisle and meet him…if your doubts are not washed away you can still say no.'" Kagome took Rins face in her hands and smiled sweetly "Don't worry, Rin. Everything is going to be perfect." Kagome kissed Rin on the cheek.

Rin had tears in her eyes. "Thanks."

BANG! BANG! BANG!

"Time to go!"

Foxgem: Okay I know I haven't updated in a long time but please be patient with me. I have a lot of stuff going on. I cannot explain it all! Grr…okay this should be coming with another chapter so keep reading.

Chapter 10 Abandoned

Foxgem: Okay here is Chapter 10. Here is a little hint of what I have to go through. My parents do not approve of nor do they approve Anime. So everything that I type for has got to be done when my parents are not looking. Not to mention is blocked on our computer so in order to update I have got to go over to my friend's house and do it. See? Well enough of me. Here is chapter 10!

Chapter 10Reception and a Good-bye

Kagome sat at a table twirling her champagne in its glass. She was exhausted! The wedding was beautiful she had to admit but it was tiring! Kagome let a sigh out and gazed over the scene going on around them.

Naruku was sitting a few tables away sitting very close to her sister. From what it looked like…he was trying to soothe her about not being able to participate in the wedding. Kikyo kept turning away as if to ignore him.

Kagome scanned the party and soon found Inuyasha who had taken up the job of teaching the kids how to dance. Kagome stifled a laugh. Kara was "dancing" with Shippo and Nathan was "dancing" with a cute girl (Kagome had no idea who). Inuyasha stood over them yelling directions but the kids didn't seem to know he was there. Inuyasha finally gave up and just took pictures of them.

Kagome turned to find Sango heading her way. Uh oh. Sango didn't look too happy. In her hand was an empty champagne bottle. OH NO! Kagome silently groaned as Sango sat down.

"Can't take this any hic more. Lets hic get out of here." Sango said as she sat down.

"What do you mean? This is a great party! Why not join in?" Kagome lied trying to sound encouraging.

"Oh…No! You…can't lie to your…good ol' buddy!" Sango said swinging an arm around her shoulders.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Kagome said turning away.

"Rrriiiggghhhtt! Lookie here. You are probably wondering why hic you and Hojo didn't work out. hic it may be wrong…hic…but you are jealous of Rin and Sess."

"No I'm –"

Sango nudged her. "Look at them," Kagome found herself looking at the front table where Rin and Sess were sitting. They were sitting close whispering together as if they new a big secret. It was clear that they were oblivious to everyone around them. "See? All you hic want to know is whyhic you and Hojo didn't have that magic. You are one hic jealous chick."

"I just don't understand on how…their wedding was so much better." Kagome said looking into her glass guilty.

Sango rolled her eyes. "Let me tell hic you why. Hojo was wrong for you. Hojo and you weren't meant to be together. hic All your relationship was on was lust. Nothing else. Now hic look at me. I hate weddings…why? Well…look at hic Miroku over there dancing with his ex-girl friend. I will never hic be able to have one because the man hic that I love and the only man I will ever love…is hic a d lecher. Now that I just poured out everything to you…hic I think I am going to sleep." With that Sango's head collapsed onto the table and Sango was out like a light.

Kagome wanted to laugh…but somehow she couldn't. Sango was right. She was jealous of Rin and Sess. Very jealous. Was she ever going to find her perfect match? A thousand questions raced in her head. Who was the one? How will I know when I meet him? Will my love ever be like Rin's and Sess?

A hand closed on her shoulder making her jump. "Hey gorgeous. How are you doing?"

In those few words all of her questions were gone. All of her doubts and worries…were gone. Kagome looked to find Inuyasha smiling down at her.

"Fine, now that you are here." Kagome said smiling up at him.

"Good." Inuyasha said giving her a kiss on the lips.

Kagome gazed at up at him in wonder at the love that she felt radiate off his lips.

"What happened to Sango?" Inuyasha asked looking at the girl collapsed next to Kagome.

Kagome wasn't sure what to say. "Oh...she…she just came over to say hi and then she fell asleep. I believe she drank way too much."

"I have been watching you this whole time. What's wrong? When Sango came over here I say the way you were looking. What did she say?" Inuyasha asked sharply.

Kagome was at a lost. What was she supposed to tell him? "She…she just said that she wanted to go home and she gave her reason why."

Inuyasha could tell she wasn't saying everything but decided to go along with her. "What was her reason then? Why did she want to go home?"

"Because she hates weddings. She believes that her day will never come. Miroku is the only man she will ever love and since he is a lecher…there goes her hope for him ever marrying her."

"Does Miroku know?" Inuyasha asked sitting down next to her and taking her hand.

Kagome shook her head slowly. "I don't think so. Like she said. He is a lecher. Not to mention she saw him dancing with his ex-again so…I would say he is pretty clueless. I mean…I love him as a friend but I don't think he realizes stuff like that could be offensive to Sango."

Inuyasha shook his head and leaned back to stare at her. "So what was wrong with you?"

"I never said there was something wrong with me."

"Kagome…what is it?"

Kagome waved him off. "Okay…just keep your voice down. People are starting to stare. Look, how about I tell you tonight. Here is not the place."

"Then lets leave right now." Inuyasha said taking her hand.

Kagome sighed, "We can't. We have to stay till they leave."

Inuyasha stood up and pulled her up to him. "Then lets go dance. Lets forget about everything and everyone and lets just have fun, my little senorita!"

Kagome laughed as he dragged her to the floor.

On the way there Inuyasha tapped Miroku's shoulder. "What?"

"You need to go check on Sango. She is drank too much and she passed out over there." Inuyasha said pointing, but when Miroku moved to go get Sango Inuyasha grabbed him arm tightly. "One little pointer if you love that girl. You need to find out what is going on with her and why she hates weddings." Inuyasha said before letting go.

Miroku rubbed his arm as he ran to Sango. From a few feet away Miroku could already smell the alcohol. When he got closer he saw the empty champagne bottle in her hand. Miroku swore and took the bottle out of her grasp.

"Wha—who?" Sango murmured as she felt the bottle go out of her hand.

"Come on. I think it is time to get out of here." Miroku said trying to stand her up.

Sango stumbled away from him "No…not you."

Miroku felt like swearing. What is wrong with her? "Come on. It is time to take a breather." Miroku grabbed her hands and pulled her upright.

Sango was like a rag doll. Miroku finally gave up on the idea of her walking and swung her up in his arms.

"Why are you doing this?" Sango asked tiredly.

Miroku asked the girl in his arms, "What do you mean?"

Sango gave a harsh laugh. "You don't care about me. All you're looking for is A. All you want is a girl that you can Fk all night."

"Sango hush that mouth of yours till we get out of here." Miroku hissed at her squeezing her tightly.

"Ouch…that hurts!" Sango gasped.

Miroku had a dark look on his face. "It should. After what you just said to me I would like to break you just so you know how it feels."

"It is nothing like the pain you have given me!" Sango struggled to get out of his grasp.

Miroku merely shifted her and held onto her tighter. "I have done nothing!"

Outside the air was cool but it did nothing about their tempers. As soon as they were outside Sango literally jumped out of his grasp.

"Nothing? Nothing? Tearing my heart up is nothing? Shoving off all my feelings is nothing? Ignoring me is nothing?" Sango nearly shouted at him.

"WHAT? How in the world did I ignore you or any of the things you said?" Miroku asked angrily.

Sango opened her mouth and gapped at him. "How do you…? Dancing with your ex instead of me is nothing? Making love to me and then getting out of bed to make a sandwich as soon as the job was is nothing? Taking my dreams of a marriage and throwing them away is nothing? Taking my heart is nothing?"

Miroku stepped in and covered her mouth. "Don't say another word. First of all, don't accuse me of anything till you know the whole story. This will probably destroy everything that I have been planning for months but I guess that is what I get for taking so long." Miroku let go of her and stepped back. "Are you ready to listen?"

"Sure."

"I asked my ex to dance that is true. Would you like to know why?"
"Not really."
"Well you will. Did you know she is in the diamond business? I just got a discount on a ring that I have had my eye on for months. I will have the ring in two weeks.

"The whole making love and then making a sandwich…has only happened after the first time we did it. I have never again did that. Besides it was your fault. I hadn't eaten anything all day and then I come home and see you all jazzed up in your glory. If you didn't look so good I would have never done that.

" I am glad to learn that I have your heart because I want to marry you. Which kind of takes care of your last thing. I'm sorry I didn't ask sooner. And I am even more sorry that you think that all I want is someone in my bed."

Sango was confused. All this thinking when you're drunk…doesn't really work. "But you are a lecher."

Miroku shrugged then got really serious. "I was. I admit it. But I have been faithful to you for over 2 years now. I have never even thought about taking anyone but my Sango to bed. And to prove it…to change your mind about me…I will not touch you in an improper way or make love to you until I say the vows. Oh and by the record… that goes for all the females out there. I will be the most…perfect man while courting my Sango."

If Sango was gaping then she was diffidently gaping now. "But…but…but what if I want to-"

"No. This is the only way to change your mind about me. Now we will go back in there and give Rin and Sess our undivided attention. This is their night. Ours will come soon." Miroku said taking her hand and tucking it under his arm.

Meanwhile…

Kikyo sat very crossly staring at her husband who was sipping on champagne.

"Stop looking at me like that. I am only drinking this because my head hurts. I want to kill the pain." Naruku said sipping it.

"I was only being envious. Naruku…I'm not feeling too well. Can we go home?" Kikyo said rubbing her huge stomach.

Naruku quickly turned to examine her.

Kikyo quickly reassured him, "No it's not time yet, but I…I just stay home…with you. This is probably the last time I am going to have you all to myself."

"I don't understand you. One moment you are soft like cream and loving, then the next you are biting my head off wanting to go out and get crazy." Naruku chuckled as he scooted his chair so that he was behind her. Then he wrapped his arms tightly around his wife. "I love you." Naruku said kissing her neck.

"I love you to. I am sorry I am being such a bother." Kikyo said. Then Kikyo took his hand in hers and said looking earnestly up in his eyes. "I really do want to have your pups. Really I do. I don't want to do anything that might risk loosing them. But…sometimes it just gets hard. It's like not being able to tell what I want and what I need. It just gets frustrating sometimes."

"Oh I would go through this a hundred times with you. I don't mind it one bit. I just can't wait to be a father for our pups." Naruku said into her ear.

Kikyo smiled. "You are going to be a great father."

"Oh I plan on it. Not to mention I will have the best woman by my side to help me stay on track."

After a pause Kikyo asked, "Do you think Sess will love Rin as much as you love me?"

"Never." Naruku murmured into her ear.

Kagome sighed as she picked up the mess from the party. It was a beautiful reception she must admit but the cleaning up after was horrible. As she took off the last table cloth she felt Inuyasha's arms go around her. "Come on. Leave the mess. That is what the catering people are getting paid to do. Lets go. All the kids are gone with grandma and great grandpa, which means we will have time to have you pay up for the flower…and that alone could take all night. Lets go."

"I just hate leaving a mess." Kagome sighed as she leaned back in his arms.

"I know. This is my last night with you for a while. Come on…lets go my little senorita." Inuyasha said swinging her up in his arms.

"INUYASHA! What on Earth-?" Kagome managed.

"I know. But this is going on your bill too." Inuyasha said as he carried her to the elevator. As soon as the elevator shut them in Inuyasha began to kiss her neck.

"Did you take lots of pictures?" Kagome managed to ask.

Inuyasha laughed. "Plenty. Wait till you see them. I have got about 20 of each kid and about 50 million of just us. Not to mention the 10 I got of the whole family."

"The whole family? What is that? A proposal."

Inuyasha looked up from kissing her neck and gave her a confused look. "Didn't I tell you that I would only wait until Sess and Rin tied the knot?"

"Well, yes…so?"
"If you can't take a hint then I guess I will have to spell it out." Inuyasha said playfully rolling his eyes. "Will you marry me, my Darling Kagome? I have only waited on you for 7 years…I think. I would normally go down on one knee but I fear, my dear, that you are making that impossible. I love with my whole being. I want you and nobody else in my life. So what do you say?"

Kagome looked up at him and smiled. "If I don't get an awesome kiss right now the answer is no."

"Hmm…but that usually leads to somewhere where I don't want to go in an elevator." Inuyasha said smiling. Just then the elevator doors opened to the parking lot.

"Fine…if I don't get an awesome kiss in…2 hours the answer is no." Kagome said smiling wildly.

"Then we will just have to speed all the way home." Inuyasha said running with her to the car.

The next day…sort of…

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Inuyasha groaned as he shut the alarm off. Great. It was time to go. Inuyasha sat up and looked at Kagome sleeping peacefully. Inuyasha hated to leave her but he was needed back at his work. Inuyasha stretched and headed into the shower.

Kagome felt a cold breeze and she shivered. Slowly she reached out toward Inuyasha but all she felt was emptiness. Kagome shot up in bed and looked over to find his spot empty. A sudden coldness crept over her. He left her? Then she heard the shower turn on. Slowly Kagome looked at the clock. 6:10? What was he doing up at …oh! He had to catch a plane. Kagome felt a wave of disappointment rush over her. Slowly Kagome made her way to the bathroom. Opening the door she felt a wave of steam crash over her, but it didn't take the chill away.

Inuyasha's head pocked through the shower curtain. "Kagome what are you doing up? Go back to bed."

Kagome shook her head "Can't. It's too cold."

"Do you want me to get the electric blanket?" Inuyasha asked wishing she had covered herself. He had to get ready! How did she expect him to get ready if she looked so tempting?

Kagome again shook her head. "No…I just want you back in bed."

Inuyasha smiled, "Sorry babe but it is time for me to get ready to go."

"I know…but it was worth asking. Anyway that means I am getting up also. I want to take you to the airport." Kagome said stretching.

Inuyasha tried not to shiver and concentrate on the conversation. "Really? I would love that." Finally Inuyasha gave in. Those eyes and that body were too hard to resist. "Come in here. We might as well get clean at the same time." Kagome took his hand and stepped into the warmth.

BREAK

Kagome tapped her foot looking at her watch. "Inuyasha? You are going to miss your flight! Get down here!"

"Okay! Geeze woman! Wouldn't you be happy if I missed the airplane?" Inuyasha said carrying down his stuff.

"No. Because then you would be all upset about missing it and then give me a lecture on how important this surgery is. Come on…in the car." Kagome said taking a bag.

As soon as they were on the road Kagome said casually. "You know…I not quite sure I like the fact that if we get married you are going to be flying back and forth a lot."

"What do you want me to do?" Inuyasha asked reading the newspaper. "Switch my job over here?"

"No…what if we all moved over there?" Kagome said making sure she was concentrating on the road.

Inuyasha slowly let hit newspaper fall. "What?"

"Well…you know if we get married-"

"When we get married." Inuyasha corrected looking at her.

"Okay…when we get married... I would just like to start fresh away from…here. I don't want unwanted memories popping up when I am trying to start a new life with you. I guess…would it be alright if we all moved in with you?" Kagome asked staring straight ahead.

"I wish I we were back in that bed of yours so I could show you how happy you just made me." Inuyasha said smiling. "I think it is a marvelous idea. But we would have to chose a house that is just for you and me."

Kagome was now confused. "Don't you have a house? You know…one that you have had with your other wives?"

"Yes…but like you I don't want memories popping up. I want to begin a new life with you and the kids." Inuyasha said holding her hand.

After they got to the airport and they got his baggage checked in Inuyasha and Kagome walked slowly to his terminal holding hands.

"When will you be back?" Kagome said gripping onto his hand.

"3 days give or take. When Hojo coming to check on the kids?" Inuyasha asked noting the desperate look in her eyes and voice.

Kagome shrugged, "3 or 4 days give or take."

"I WILL be there Kagome. I promise." Inuyasha said giving her hand a squeeze.

Kagome felt tears in her eyes. "Don't worry about me. You have bigger things to worry about. You have a life that needs to be saved. You can't be everyone's hero."

Inuyasha moved her face so she had to look at him. "I don't want to be everyone's hero. I just want to be yours. This surgery that I will be performing…it is only my job. I am getting paid to do it. Being your hero is something I have always dreamed about and have wanted for a long time. I am just glad I am going to get a chance to prove myself to you. Because you are all that matters me." Inuyasha kissed her.

After they parted Inuyasha and Kagome just held each other.

"Inuyasha?"

"Yes?"

"I just want you to know…I love you."

"I love you, too." Inuyasha then looked at the clock. "Baby I got to run. I don't want you to take me to the terminal. I hate good-byes. Just send me on my way to work." Inuyasha got one more kiss before grabbing his carryon bag from her and headed off towards his terminal.

Kagome just stood there watching. A few feet away Inuyasha turned and called to her. "Give the kids a hug and kiss for me!" It was all Kagome could do but keep herself from falling to the floor in tears. With one last wave he disappeared.

Kagome held the tears back until she got in the car. In the car Kagome pounded the steering wheel with her fist as she cried. As soon as he disappeared her heart felt as though it was ranched out. A sense of hopelessness came over her. She wanted him! Why did he have to go away now? WHY? Why when everything was going great and amazing…why did life take away her man? Why couldn't she stay with him? WHY?

After a good 20 minutes Kagome finally calmed herself down and she started the car. Just as she was pulling out her cell phone rang. It was her mother.

"Hi Mom! What's up?" Kagome said drying her eyes.

Kagome's mothers voice was full of horror, "It's Nathan! He woke up this morning with a high fever and so I fed him some Dimetapp. Then he began to puke up blood and so I rushed him to the hospital. I think you need to get here quick."

Foxgem: Me oh my. The drama…Okay…I am guessing that it is either the next chapter or the next one will have Hojo in it. Remember this is far from being over.

EXPLANATION: Okay…look reason for this weird lay- out is because I decided to put two chapters together since they were so short so instead of 17 pages and 14 you get…hold on let me add…31! So there…..ha….I am so done.
