A/N: Oh, such a lovely OOC Inuyasha. Isn't it sweet?

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Not Inuyasha, not Chris De Burgh or his song Lady in Red.

Lady in Red

I couldn't believe my luck. I can't believe I'm getting married, of all people me! I think I may be a little too happy, but I've finally put the past behind me. I've moved on, and I'm ready for this.

She steps into the clearing, she insisted on having an outdoor wedding. She's wearing a beautiful red kimono. I smile nervously, she's changed so much, and she's helped me change. But I remember that's she's always looked good in red.

She looks more beautiful than ever. Even now, as she moves slowly, along the aisle, nervous smile placed upon face I worry about her. I need her by my side.

I've never seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright

She reaches me and takes my hand, we go through the ceremony, quickly, and move to a near village to have a party.

I look down at my feet, I've never danced before in my life, Sango has been helping me learn how to, and thank Kami or I would have embarrassed myself even more than I'm sure I'm about too.

"Will you dance with me?" I ask not sounding at all like my usual cocky self.

Her smile widens and her eyes light up, and she's still wearing the red.

She was wearing my kimono given it to her so she could cover up. I'm glad she's okay, even with just the top half of my kimono she looks beautiful. She thanks me.

"Keh," I say, "It's nothing wench." When in reality I want to kill whoever forced her to be like this.

The sun has risen and I jump to the top of the cliff. Kagome is crying as is Shippou they must think I'm dead!

She hugs me crying. When I point out there is no reason to cry, rudely, she denies that she was. I argue back.

"Am not!" she screams.

I stare at her angry figure, still clad in my robe; she looks beautiful I feel my face flushing so I mask it with anger to make it seem reasonable. "Are too!"

This continues for some time until finally I here the word.

" SIT!"

My head plants itself firmly into the ground. "Ow." I grumble, still in pain from my recent fall.

Red is definitely her colour. As we make our way to the dance floor at least a dozen other men ask her to dance. I growl quietly and take one of her hands slipping the other one around her waist.

I've never seen so many men ask you if you wanted to dance
They're looking for a little romance, given half a chance

The red kimono swirls around her as we move slowly in circles. I notice things that make her even more beautiful than she already is. The candles in the room light up her face and bring out the highlights in her black hair.

I'm seeing things even now, after five years that I've never seen. Maybe it's because we're not shouting at each other, and maybe it's because I've learned to trust.

I have never seen that dress you're wearing
Or the highlights in your hair that catch your eyes

I have been blind

We're dancing together, cheek to cheek, your not looking at anyone else but me, and I look at you. I'm trying to find a way to say all of my thoughts in one sentence without bringing down my tough guy image. I growl as a see a guy looking, more like drooling at you and he is frightened away by my glare.

I pull you closer to me. I've always been protective of you, I won't hurt you.

The room is quite full, but it doesn't matter. Tonight is just about you and me and we can pretend no one else is here. I accidentally step on your foot. I pretend it didn't make that mistake as you laugh quietly at me. Today I won't argue back.

Lady in Red

Is dancing with me

Cheek to cheek,

There's nobody here,

It's just you and me.

It's where I wanna be.

I don't ever want to leave you. I want to stay with you forever, learn everything about you. There is still so much that I don't know. I just want it to be you and me.

And I hardly know,

This beauty by my side.

I'll never forget,

The way you look tonight.

I'm tapped on the shoulder and have to leave you. I try desperately to get back, but Miroku and Shippou, and everyone in the village must dance with the bride. Even some of the little kids can't wait their turn.

Tonight you seem like your shining. It's almost as if an aura is radiating off you. Everyone is happy and smiling.

I've never seen you looking so gorgeous as you did tonight
I've never seen you shine so bright you were amazing
I've never seen so many people want to be there by your side

You return to me, smiling and say quietly, "Let's keep dancing." I'm amazed. Sure, out of breath from all the dancing I've done already. But it's you. You always manage to take my breath away.

And when you turn to me and smile.

It took my breath away.

I've never loved you more than I do right now. The slow moving circles and I'm not myself. You ask me if I'm okay.

I have never had such a feeling,

Such a feeling of complete and utter love,

As I do tonight.

"Keh, of course I am!" I reply trying to sound like myself.

You laugh and move closer, "Sure!" you tease, and your cheeks are a red from dancing and laughing. They now match your kimono.

You're my lady in red. And you always will be.

Lady in Red

The room finally empties leaving just you and me. Dancing, we have no music anymore but it's not needed.

Is dancing with me

Cheek to cheek,

I just want it to be like this. Just you and me forever. "I'm not leaving," I tell you, "I still have a promise to keep."

You're amazed, after five years I still want to protect you. "Keh, I never turn back on my promises." I say. "I want to stay with you!"

"You do?"

"Of course baka!" I reply sounding more like myself.

"Don't make me say it!"

There's nobody here,

It's just you and me.

It's where I wanna be.

I laugh because as a wedding present to me you h said you would remove the beads. I had chosen to keep them on.

The rosary is something that binds us together, our lives.

And I hardly know,

This beauty by my side.

I'll never forget,

The way you look tonight

Your life and my life, is now, a combined life. Our life.

Together.
