1000 thanks to Aya from my MSN for putting up the 'I'm too manly to get my butt fucked' line as her personal message. I'm sorry for the long wait, but here you go!

Me own Inuyasha? Like that will ever happen.

It had been a week since Kagome had dropped the Marriage bomb. Still things went relatively normal, well as normal as they could be in high school. After doing multiple background checks on their three potential successors, and personal face-to-face interviews, Kagome finally deemed them worthy enough to run the school in September. So in their newly found free time they sat under an old oak tree and talked.

"Hey Kagome," Sango said.

"Yeah Sango?"

"What day is the wedding?"

"Well, school on Friday right?"

"Yeah."

"And today is Tuesday, correct?"

"Yeah, how exactly is that connected?"

"The wedding's a week away."

"WHAT!" Sango yelled. "I'll never have time to find a dress!"

"Already got you one, Miss Maid of Honor," Kagome said.

"Hair?"

"I'll be picking you up in my Escalade on Tuesday at nine," Kagome said trying to re-assure the poor girl she called her best friend.

"Date, there's no way I can get a date in time."

"Miroku's free, take him."

"What about Miroku?" he said waking up from his nap.

"You're taking Sango as your date to my wedding," Kagome explained.

"Cool, when is the wedding though?"

"Next Tuesday," Kagome said getting the feeling of de-ja-vu.

"But I'll never get a tux in time!" Miroku said freaking out.

"My mom got you one."

"What about my hair?" he asked panic struck.

"What about it? How many ways can you possibly wear it?" Kagome asked not believing she was really having this conversation with him.

"But…but…but I wanted to get some dark purple highlights," he said.

Kagome just stared at him before looking at Sango. "I need to find two guys available next Tuesday. One for you and one for Miroku, he isn't straight apparently.

"I kid, I kid. I'm too manly to get my butt fucked."

"OMG!" Sango yelled.

"What is it my date?" Miroku asked.

"I'm the maid of honor!" she yelled finally catching on.

"I'm the date of the maid of honor!" Miroku yelled.

"I'm going deaf!" Kagome yelled over both of them.

"Sorry," the said in unison before quietly continuing their celebration.

Kagome sighed. Her friends could be such freaks some times. But that's why she loved him.

"Hey Inuyasha, see you tomorrow," one of his friends called as Inuyasha left the building.

"Yeah, you too," Inuyasha said, his mind not really there. Instead he was thinking about how in one week he would be wed to Kagome. He knew that she really didn't love him, but he hoped that in time she would learn to. He hoped she would see that he was a good guy, not just some high school jock.

Walking to his car, he shoved his backpack in the back seat before climbing in. He drove the familiar path home still thinking about the wedding. He couldn't believe it was really going to happen. Graduation on Friday, married on Tuesday, he would have three days as a single high school graduate, and one of those nights would be spent at his rehearsal dinner.

"I'm home," he called as he walked though the front door.

"Oh good, we have so much to talk about," his mother said as she rushed down the stairs. "You need to get your tuxedo fitted, pick out the cake, and give the church the final payment for the hall."

"Why yes mother, I had a wonderful day at school. How was your day?"

"Oh sweetie, I'm sorry. But we're helping plan the wedding since the bride to be won't. And besides, it's not that bad. Now come along."

And so Inuyasha was off again. First stop, the seamstress that was in charge of his tux.

"It fits a lot better than before. And the cuffs don't hang past my wrists," he said. Then he went back into the changing room to put on his normal clothes.

Second stop, the bakery.

While most people had their cake ordered about three months in advance, they were ordering theirs one week in advance. Normally this would be a problem, but since they only wanted a very simple three layer cake that said 'Congratulations Inuyasha and Kagome' in green icing it would be prepared in time.

The third and final stop was the chapel hall. Apparently it cost three 100 dollar installments to rent the chapel for one day. By the time they left the chapel to go home it was night.

Inuyasha flopped onto his bed, exhausted. And in a few hours he would have to return to school and start all over again. He normally would have anticipated the weekend, but that just meant more wedding planning. It was no fair that Kagome got to skip out while he was stuck picking out plate patterns and centre pieces.

He looked at his clock. It read 11:30 PM. deciding he didn't want to be dead on his feet tomorrow he rolled over and closed his eyes.

Kagome stood in her room. It was one week until her wedding and she hadn't so much as lifted a finger to help. Not even when it came to trying on the wedding dress. Her mom had better taste anyways, and as long as they had her measurements she wouldn't have to be there to try it on. She didn't know who was coming, and she didn't care. She didn't know where she was getting married, and she didn't care. She only knew who she was getting married too.

As she stared out the window a single tear rolled down her cheek. She had been single her entire life. The only men she had ever depended on were her father and Miroku. Her father provided a home with food and water, and Miroku was an awesome friend. As far as she was concerned they were enough. She hadn't ever put much thought into marriage because she knew she could do with out. Most people ended up divorced anyways, so she figured she was saving herself a couple of bucks.

She turned away from the window and headed towards the bed. She knew what she had to do, even if it let some people down.

Ok, there's going to be one, maybe two more chapters. I'm trying not to ruse the story, but I really don't know how to plan a wedding. Any reviews would be welcomed.
