Chapter 12 A Wedding
Leah stood at the helm railing, over looking the deck, half the crew, her cousins, and friends. Nick and Will were minding Hunter as Inuyasha and Kagome stood under the helm deck, in view of Leah and vice versa.
"Dearly beloved, we've gathered her for the union of Kagome and Inuyasha," Leah said.
"Hey, how come she's named first," Inuyasha complained.
"Would you rather me not continue?"
"No."
Then stop complaining. Kagome, you may go first."
"Inuyasha, do you take me as your wife, in sickness and health, for better or worse, until we die?"
"I do. Kagome, will you take me in sickness and health, for better or worse, until death separates us?"
"I do."
"Then, by the powers vested in me, I declare you as husband and wife. Let no pirate, demon, or person, for good or ill, separate you. You may kiss," Leah said.
The two hanyos share their first true kiss, to the cheers of those present.
"I didn't know pirates could perform marriage ceremonies," Miroku said as Leah took Hunter from Will.
"Only captains have the power," Will said.
"Kagome aske me to marry them. It was the least I could do," Leah said.
"What about you and Nick? Since everyone kinda knows what happened," the monk asked.
"Then it's settled," Nick said, joining the conversation and wrapping an arm around Leah's waist. "If you'll have me that is."
Leah looked around at her friends and family, each with their look of patient waiting. WHen she spotted Jack, Leah knew that he would marry them.
"Jack, marry us."
Nearly everyone was shocked, until Leah asked the older pirate to marry her and Nick. The captain took the spot Leah had on the helm deck as sthe two pirates stood where their friends did. Jack went through his own steps and allowed Leah and Nick to say their oaths. They killed before being interrupted by the giggles of Hunter; who was being held by Inuyasha. The parents smiled when they pulled apart and smiled themselves. Things seemed to be perfect for them; and they were fine with that.
