Reviews:

Adam: you like to review don't you….I think I got 6+ reviews from you alone. Lol. Anyway I'm working on a new story, (Tree Top…something haven't gotten the title figured out yet) and I'm gonna dedicate it to you. Lol cuz some of your ideals for this story are hitting freakishly close to my plans for that story. (Awesome minds think alike?) And non inuyasha/kagome pairings seriously irk me too, it's just kind of wrong to have them otherwise.

so nooo he can't be a writer in this story and I will use other means to have them set for life, no spiritual powers for kagome, priestesses need to be pure and kagome's mated so yea. I'm still thinking about making her half demon, but I don't know. I will ensure that her life span is at least tied to/as long as inuyasha's life.

And I'm trying to slowly have them figure what happened in the beginning with Shippo's wish and all, but I doubt I'll have them figure it out before Shippo's born. I'll do my best to make sure everything is clear then. Yep Tokijin was his sword but I needed a name, and that one sounded good. No, inuyasha doesn't have his sword….YET. I have a secret ingenious plan for getting him his sword.

I've seen lots of animals bite each other during mating, and even on the neck area (live on a farm, my poor eyes) but normally they don't scar. It seems wrong for inuyasha to bite kagome so hard that it leaves a scar, I kind of like a tattoo marking ideal I got from another fanfic, I'll mix that with the ideals you gave me for their mating marks.

And damnit I wish I would have thought of having him faint! I was getting sooo tired of typing on and on about fighting demon blood. Gods moron moment. I'm half way tempted to go back and rewrite last chapter…but meh lazy. If I ever get the insane urge to rewrite this story, I am soooo re-doing it with him fainting. Damn it that was an awesome ideal. Oh and the movie theater gig, I like that too I'm gonna try and shove that into this story as well.

p.s. thanks for the reviews and the fanfics to read 3

IWalkTrewWalls: I will try! Really really hard too, I promise.

Dbzgtfan2004: new reviewer! Thank you and I plan to lol. Inu+kagx100!

RoseFalles: mwahah I know I'm so evil. You don't know how happy your review made me! I was dancing around the room for an hour! I know they're a bit OOC, but Rumiko's Inuyasha was never going to get anywhere with kagome so I mixed his demon blood with hot sauce and oysters and voila! Instant couple.

MamaSama6: Thank you so much for your review! Yea the grammar and spelling errors are annoying, believe it or not I do run a spell/grammar check before I post but it only seems to catch so much, and I'm terrible when it comes to either. The whole dyslexic thing really messes with me when it comes to spelling, and if you'd be willing to check over my story before I post that would be awesome! I'm so happy you liked my story and had all those wonderful things to say about it! And don't worry about feeling bad or snobbish, I think neither and I really appreciate the review and note you left me. p.s. I have no clue how you'd check errors before I post, so let me know how and I'd gladly do so Lol clueless is mine middle name.

WARNING: Why I should be warning you, I don't know…I just like typing warning in bold letters, so yea. Read on.

Mr. Wiegrauber and Ms. Higurashi present my birthday installment of Shippo's Wish.

Shippo's Wish.

Holy matrimony and flying sausages…batman.

Chapter.10

Kagome smiled softly to herself as she came awake the following morning to the sound of inuyasha's light snoring. As she rolled over to look at him, his arms instinctually tightened around her as if he feared she'd leave his side even in his sleep. I'll never leave your side, inuyasha. kagome thought to herself as she lightly stroked his jaw, admiring his face, from the strong set of his jaw, his perfectly kissable lips and the way his whole face was so unguarded, so innocent while he slept.

Kagome giggled softly as she saw his eye brow twitch in annoyance almost in repose to her thoughts. Inuyasha's eyes gradually opened to gaze upon her smiling face as he woke. A slow smile found its way to his lips as he beheld her in the morning light.

The small smile nearly stole kagome's breath, it was one of inuyasha's most rare smiles. It wasn't cocky or arrogant, it wasn't all sharp teeth or the smirk he normally wore, but the secret smile he had when he was truly happy. Kagome had only seen this smile few times before, and when anyone noticed him smiling like this he'd quickly change and put on a scowl. But inuyasha wasn't scowling now, he was smiling and he was smiling just for her. Kagome felt as if her hart could burst.

"Inuyasha" kagome sighed softly, happily. Even though they had been lying in her small bed together, kagome still managed to pull him even closer as she hugged him.

Inuyasha was surprised by kagome's suddenness, but wasn't about to reject the affection. Wrapping his own arms around his female's small waist inuyasha hugged her back. Burying his head in the crook of her neck, inuyasha inhaled her sweet scent. Which was now thoroughly mixed with his, brought a purely male smirk to inuyasha's lips and filled him with contempt and male pride.

Although he still felt a little guilty for taking her outside in the cold, he hoped he'd made up for it afterwards when they had come inside. By the way she was looking at him now, and the fact that she hadn't kicked him out of her bed inuyasha assumed he'd done pretty well in making up for letting his instincts getting the better of him outside. A deep vibration started inuyasha's chest as he nuzzled her shoulder. "Mate."

"Late?" kagome pulled back slightly, regarding him quizzically wondering what he could be late for.

Inuyasha shook his head a small chuckle escaping his mouth. "No, Mate."

Kagome blinked owlishly at him, still not comprehending him. "Uhh what is Mate?"

"you." inuyasha responded, playfully nipping her bare shoulder where he'd marked her last night.

"Me? Uh no, I'm Kagome. Who is Mate inuyasha?" kagome asked, her eyes narrowing as her temper flared to life. Inuyasha watched bemused, he could almost feel the heat from the fire in her eyes. But valuing his life and not wanting to ruin the morning for the sake of seeing kagome angry, inuyasha thought of a way to explain himself better.

"Ka-go-me is my Mate, its demon equivalent for human's spouse. When a demon find's someone they lo-like they become Mates." Inuyasha tried to explain as a dark blush speared a crossed his face, wishing for once that bloody flea was around to explain it better to her.

"Mate" kagome squeaked, a matching blush spreading a crossed her face as the words sunk in and she recalled last night.

"Ka-go-me Mate." inuyasha repeated, breaking apart her name like she'd done when they'd first met and he'd mistaken her for the dead priestess. Catching her attention else were, inuyasha pounced, taking advantaged of her wondering mind.

Kagome suddenly found herself on her back underneath inuyasha, his larger form pining her to the bed. And him wearing a smirk and not much else, his hungry gaze devouring her. Kagome's blush darkened realizing that they were both quite naked. she tried to remember if their close were still outside around the god tree or if they'd managed to bring it inside last night, if not they really needed to pick that up before her family got home.

Kagome's train of thought was abruptly derailed by inuyasha's lips closing in on her own. Kagome sighed blissfully, this was heaven. Naraku could be running around in a pink leotard with tie-dyed poodles in her back yard sing bad karaoke songs and kagome couldn't have cared less. In fact as long as inuyasha's lips were on hers, kagome doubted she would have even noticed.

Sadly their make-out session was called to an end by the wailing of her alarm clock. Groaning kagome buried her face against inuyasha's chest, hiding her laughter as inuyasha growled at her alarm clock, cursing the interruption.

"Five more minutes?" inuyasha asked hopefully once the alarm clock had finally settled back down.

"I doubt what you have in mind is a five minute thing." Kagome said with a shake of her head, watching the slow sheepish grin spread crossed inuyasha's face, knowing he'd been figured out. "You got a test to take this morning, remember?"

Inuyasha groaned, having completely forgotten about his GED testing. With a sigh inuyasha rolled off the bed and strolled crossed kagome's room, completely at ease with his nudity as he went to shut of kagome's alarm clock before it started ringing again.

Kagome averted her gaze blushing darkly, she was still unused to the sudden change in their relationship. Wrapping her sheet around her as she stood, kagome headed for the shower first to get ready. It wasn't long before inuyasha joined her in the shower.

Her normal morning shower having taken longer then she'd anticipated due to her extra help, they were out of time and ended having to eat their brake fast on the way to the testing facility. Kagome wished inuyasha luck before finding herself a seat while she waited for him.

"They said we'd get the scores in about a week." Inuyasha announced in reply to a question kagome had asked as they walked to Mr. Mesakies dog daycare together.

"Really, so how do you think you did?" kagome asked stepping through the door of Mr. Mesakies shop that inuyasha was holding open for her.

"Keh, those books were harder than that test." Inuyasha snorted as he led the way out the back door to the dog yard, leashes in hand.

"Think you did that good, do you." kagome asked, shooting inuyasha a look that clearly said arrogant aren't we.

Inuyasha grunted, he had a right to be arrogant about such things. After all he was a half demon from the federal warring states, learning things like, science and math and whatever those other books of kagome's were about. How could it not go to his head.

Kagome shook her head, she just hoped inuyasha had done as well as he seemed to think. Kagome was amazed at the number of dogs inuyasha had on leashes, she'd offered to hold more but inuyasha shook his head, telling her the one she had was plenty of trouble and any more dogs and she'd run the risk of them running away with her.

Kagome smiled, he could be so funny some times. Although inuyasha acted if the dogs would go crazy any minute, even growling at the dogs when they so much as looked in a different direction then the one he was leading in. And he kept shooting the dog she walked very dark glares, kagome found the whole thing hilarious.

It wasn't long before the walk came to an end, having made a large loop they found them self's back in front of Mr. Mesakies. After releasing the dogs back into the large in closed yard, kagome and inuyasha bid Mr. Mesakies Farwell before they took off for Sanota's.

Somewhere along the path to Sanota's inuyasha found himself holding kagome's hand. It was strange, yet it felt so natural, as if that's where her hand should have always been. It was surprising how quickly he took to their relationship's new progression. To inuyasha this felt right, he wasn't confused any more or afraid he wouldn't be accepted completely, last night had proven just how completely kagome accepted him for all that he was, whether he is human, demon or half of both.

For the first time in age's inuyasha felt at home. He didn't have to fight to carve a place for himself in the world any more, his home was in kagome's heart. As if sensing his thoughts kagome glanced up at him for a brief moment, gracing him with one of her loving smiles. Inuyasha felt the warmth from that smile blossom in his own heart. That little burst of light from her smile banishing the last remint of darkness left in his heart from a life time of hatred and loneliness he'd lived before kagome had fought her way into his life and heart.

Kagome sat on bar stool inside Sanota's black dog, her mind wondering as she watched inuyasha help to get the club ready for tonight. Kagome had been only mildly surprised when inuyasha asked her to come with him to work today. Even though they hadn't said anything out loud, kagome bet inuyasha was feeling the same thing she was, it was strange but she felt as if needed to be close to him. They hadn't been able to stop touching each other, weather it was just holding hands or holding each other, the need to touch each other was overwhelming.

The few times they had been out of sight of each other had been panic inducing. Not wanting a repeat performance of those feelings, they unspokenly agreed to stay within sight of each other. Kagome had asked inuyasha if it was a demon related thing, but he'd only shrugged, his father had died before inuyasha was old enough to know such things, and with no way to get ahold of Myoga they could only guess.

They'd just made it home when the rest of kagome's family burst through the doors. Kagome and inuyasha jumped apart, their face heating up. They'd almost been caught kissing in the kitchen by kagome's whole family.

"W-welcome back you guys!" kagome stuttered, while she was happy to see them, she couldn't help herself from wishing that they could have stayed gone a little longer. Inuyasha on the other hand wasn't nearly as happy about their return, between work at Sanota's and the dogs, he hadn't been able to steal but a few chaste kisses. He'd been looking forward to coming home and kissing kagome senseless but his dreams were all dashed to pieces by her family's arrival.

"Oh kagome! You won't believe what I saw on the way home! Why it was just the loveliest little bridal shop, they had dress and treats and oh you'll just have to come with me to see." Kagome's mother gushed, sounding much like a teenager herself as she ushered her daughter away from the men so they could continue their girl talk in peace.

"You better have not been fooling around while I was gone." Grandpa Higurashi rumbled, sending a menacing glare at inuyasha. Inuyasha glared right back; the old man was really starting to get on his nerves.

"Inuyasha! You gotta come play this game with me. Jeniji let me barrow it for the rest of the weekend, it's so cool!" Sota shouted nearly bouncing with his excitement. He grabbed ahold of inuyasha's arm, dragging the half daemon away before any more sparks could fly.

Monday morning came all too soon for the sleeping couple, the shrill ring of an alarm clock signaling the end of sleep and the start of the first day they newly mated couple would have to spend separated.

Inuyasha lifted his head to glare at the offending contraption, he really wished kagome had never replaced that blasted thing after the first one he'd smashed to bits. His expression sorted as he glanced down at the woman still blissfully asleep as she lay crossed his chest. He was surprised she was able to sleep threw alarm clock, maybe not so surprised after all the did spend a good portion of the night awake talking to each other.

And more kissing among other things. Inuyasha added, a deep blush spreading crossed his cheeks along with an upwards twist of his lips.

"Ka-go-me" inuyasha purred against her skin, punctuating each syllable with a kiss along her neck. Kagome moaned softly in her sleep, her head tilted back unconsciously giving inuyasha more access to. Inuyasha smirked against the column of her neck, he was going to enjoy waking kagome up.

Kagome sighed in relief. I'm not late. Kagome thought to herself as she slid into her assigned seat just before the last bell rang. She promised herself that after school today inuyasha would pay for his mischief this morning. Because of him she'd almost been late to school and she had exams today.

Not only that but she'd had to skip breakfast because of inuyasha's playing around this morning, well if she was completely honest with herself it had only been half ways inuyasha's fault she'd gone without eating. The other part of the reason being her stomach was a little queasy. Luckily that cleared up after a while and she was able to eat lunch.

The school day was long and grueling, exam days always were that way. The constant testing was exhausting, kagome was amazed that she hadn't fallen asleep on her test paper after who little sleep she'd gotten the night before.

"Oi, kagome!" inuyasha hollered flagging kagome down before any of her stupid friends could detain her.

Kagome blinked surprised to find inuyasha practically bouncing outside the entrances of her school. His hair was down, the pale silver a stark contrast against the darkness of his clothing. Kagome felt her smiling as she ran to great him.

"Inuyasha!" kagome gasped, suddenly launching herself into his arms. Inuyasha crushed her to him as he spun them both around with the left over momentum from kagome's leap. He buried his head in the crook of her neck, inhaling her wonderful sent.

It went a long way to calming him, he was glade this was the last day of school before the winter break. He didn't think he could last a week of being separated from kagome. He'd just barely managed to keep himself busy while she was in school today.

Without a care for who was watching them, inuyasha kissed kagome for the world to see. His hand grasping her raven locks at the nape of her neck, tilting her head back to allow him better access to her moist succulent mouth. His other hand wrapped half way around her back, holding her firmly in place. Inuyasha felt like a starved man, he couldn't get enough of her. If it hadn't been for the cheering and the wolf calls invading his heaven, he could have taken her right there against the fence that went around her school.

Growling with frustration, inuyasha grabbed kagome's hand and pulled her along behind him as he marched back to the Higurashi shrine, if they were lucky maybe her family was busy and wouldn't notice them slip off to the well house to finish that kiss.

No such luck was to be had. Kagome's mother was waiting for them when they arrived home. Inuyasha grit his teeth, was every one out to cause him pain today, was it really too much to ask for some alone time with his mate. Inuyasha thought as they found them self's being ushered into the Higurashi's old Toyota by kagome's mom.

"Remember that adorable wedding boutique that I found the other day? Well I thought since today was the last day of school before winter brake and you don't have to do homework tonight, that we'd go check it out!" Mrs. Higurashi rambled as she started the car up and pulled out of the drive way. "I know what you're thinking, husbands-to-be aren't supposed to go with the bride when she's picking out her wedding dress, but long as he doesn't know which one she'll be wearing, it will be okay."

Inuyasha had no clue what she was going on about, and from looking at kagome's expression, she didn't have much more of an ideal about what her mother was going on about either. Inuyasha flinched as he caught the word shopping admits Mrs. Higurashi continued rant, he knew what shopping was. He'd made the mistake of tagging along with kagome and her friends once during a shopping trip of theirs. It hadn't been fun.

Kagome could feel her face being to heat up as she realized what her mother was going on and on and on about. She means to take us shopping for the wedding, our wedding. She thought with a sudden realization. The ideal of an actually wedding, ceremony and all sounded so…

Kagome couldn't even think of a word. She was already inuyasha's mate, but the ideal of having actual wedding ceremony seemed so much more. She hadn't even graduated high school yet, and here she was about to pick out her dress for her own wedding. Kagome couldn't help but feel existed, ever since she'd fist laid her eyes on inuyasha; this was what she'd wanted.

She knew inuyasha didn't really understand human ceremonies, in his book they were already husband and wife, so what differences did white dresses and words spoken make? Actions speak louder than any word. Except for S-I-T. Kagome thought to herself with a small giggle, drawing the half demons curious attention.

Kagome just smiled innocently at inuyasha, he might have pressed her more but the car came to a sudden stop. Still smiling kagome hoped out of the car along with her mother, inuyasha was a little slower getting out. He wasn't looking forward to this shopping stuff of theirs.

Kagome's mom had been right, the bridal boutique was simply adorable. It sat in the center of a long strip mall, but what it lacked in space, it made up for in charm. The exterior walls were a soft shade of pink with cream colored trim around the doors and two windows. The larger window was to the right off the door, the top of the window was round so only one mannequin could be shown completely, the rest of the room was taken up by an arsenal of accessories a bride might want or need. The second smaller window was a long thin rectangle that ran along the left side of the door. The rectangle was divided into several smaller rectangles, each separate rectangle housing a small bride figurine. The face of the building was topped by a scalloped roof, that jutted out to cover the side walk, and the potted plants owner of the shop had growing in front of their shop.

The small bell above the door jingled merrily as the trio entered the shop, the interior was no less cute. The walls were a light shade of rose, and the floors were covered in soft carping and the color of a peach. The owner had done away with those irritating florescent over head lights, replacing them with softer hanging lights that gave the shop a worm inviting glow.

Kagome gasped as she looked around. There must have been a hundred dresses in the small shop, not to mention veils and shoes to match and every accessory a bride could possible want. Whoever ran the shop was very good at what they did. The items where all very neatly put away and out of the way, while at the same time still easily assessable. In short, kagome had died and gone to girly heaven.

"Can I help ye?" asked an old voice off to the right of them, hidden by dress stand with several dresses on it. Three heads peered around the dresses looking for the owner of the voice. Inuyasha choked on air while Kagome gasped recognizing the owner of the voice immediately. Kagome couldn't believe her eyes, right in front of her sat Keade. Although the woman had use of both her eyes and was dressed in modern clothing, there was no mistaking it for anyone other than Keade.

"Yes! We've got a wedding to do in less than a week and we need a dress, a tux…"kagome's mother smiled happily as she began listing off all necessary for a proper wedding, completely oblivious to the two teens beside her.

"I see, now tell me is it for ye or the young one behind you?" the old shop keeper asked, putting down her book as she began sizing both women.

"Me? Oh no no, it's my daughter's wedding. My wedding was years ago" Mrs. Higurashi laughed politely and pushed her daughter in front of her. The Keade look alike nodded sagely as she took in kagome's form, seemingly unaffected by the nervous girl's wide eyed stare.

"I think we may have a few dresses that would suit ye on such a short notices" with another nod of her head she began hunting threw the racks of dresses pulling out a dress every so often, after her arms were full she returned to kagome. Leading her and her mother toward the back where the dressing rooms were.

Inuyasha watched as the old woman reappeared a few minutes later with a large book in her hands. Although she didn't seem to recognize either him or kagome it was still so strange seeing Keade's old face again. This must be her reincarnation, inuyasha suddenly realized. He was being to wonder just how many people from his time had been reincarnated in kagome's time, when a book was suddenly thrust into his hands.

"Take a seat Mr. Groom, let me know when ye find a suit to ye likes." The old crone said before once again leaving him alone as she disappeared once again.

Inuyasha found as he looked through the huge catalog of suits, that he knew nothing of men's clothing in kagome's time. He'd only managed to find one outfit in the whole book the resembled anything even remotely familiar to the clothing of his time. And inuyasha refused to were that one, it looked more like a woman's kimono then anything a man should wear, the thing had pom-poms on it for crying out loud.

"Having any luck inuyasha?" the voice of kagome's mother startled him nearly out of the chair. He had been so absorbed in his disgust for men's formal wear that he hadn't heard them approach. Looking up from the book in his hands he was surprised to find them so close, kagome's mother was leaning over him as she tried to get a look at what suit he'd been looking at. Kagome wasn't much farther away, unlike her mother she showed no interest in the book but her eyes had a kind of faraway dreamy look and there was a small smile to her lips. Inuyasha wondered what they'd been talking about back there, he should have sat closer to the dressing rooms and listened in.

"I'm not wearing that." Inuyasha announced with emphasis on the word that as he pointed accusingly at the photo of a traditional Japanese wedding dress. Kagome's mother hid her smile behind her hand as she fought down the urge to giggle.

"Alright then, how bout…" kagome's mom took the book from inuyasha and began quickly flipping through the pages until she found one she thought he might like. She paused as she spotted a rather simple western style suit, plane black slacks, a nice clean cut jacket also black. There was a choice of bow tie or neck tie but she couldn't see inuyasha putting up with either of those for long and you could also choose what color you wanted the undershirt.

Perfect, she thought smiling to herself as she returned the book to inuyasha. "How about this one. You can pick the color for the under shirt."

Inuyasha shrugged, clothes were clothes and then they we're worn. Inuyasha's eyes danced over the color chart on the edge of the page, his eyes catching on a vided red. Inuyasha pointed it out, he liked red and the color reminded him of his fire rat robe. "That one."

It was much later when the exited the shop, weaving good bye to Keade's reincarnation they carried their purchases into the car. Inuyasha still didn't know what was in kagome's bags and the curiosity was eating him up. he still didn't think it was fair that she got to see what he would be dressed in, while he still had no clue what she would be wearing.

Even later that night, when inuyasha had snuck into kagome's room after her family had gone to sleep, the wrench still wouldn't tell him. She'd only laughed and kissed him soundly. No matter what inuyasha tried she wouldn't spill. Stubborn woman. Inuyasha thought drowsily as he drifted off to sleep with kagome held tight in his arms.

Inuyasha's stomach rumbled as he woke up to the smell of breakfast cooking. Inuyasha glanced between the door and the sleeping kagome. To wake or not to wake, inuyasha chewed on his lip as indecision and hunger ate away at him.

Kagome yawned and stretched as she was nudged awake by an impatience inuyasha. Opening her eyes, she looked from the clock to inuyasha wondering why he'd wake her up so early. It was only seven fifteen and she didn't have school today. The answer dawned on kagome as she caught the scent of bacon cooking.

Kagome couldn't help it she laughed, inuyasha growled at her impatiently taking away her covers as he got out of the bed. They needed to hurry other wise old man Higurashi would get all the bacon, why couldn't she understand that, instead she had to sit there laughing her non-existing tail off.

Inuyasha finally managed to herd a still laughing kagome toward the kitchen. He was quite happy to find there was still a lot of bacon left for his breakfast. Piling his plate high inuyasha happily took a seat at the table. Inuyasha was half way through his second plate when kagome's mother suddenly dropped an arm full of white envelops onto the empty end of the table.

"Alright you to its time to get those invitations out." Mrs. Higurashi told them as she placed an ink pen in front of both kagome's and inuyasha's place mats.

"In den what?" inuyasha tried to repeat the odd word but became confused and gave up.

"Wedding invitations, silly." Kagome's mother said with a smile as she pulled out a blank small note pad. "Here you to go ahead and make a list of every one you want to come to the wedding, okay?"

Inuyasha was still at a loss but kagome nodded pulling the paper closer to her, her pen already un-capped and ready to write. "

Yuki, Erika, and Amy…Hojo and Mr. Myota. Kota and…" kagome words trailed off in thought as she finished the last name.

"Oi kagome what you writing?" inuyasha's asked, scooting his hair closer so he could get a better look at the paper she'd been writing on.

"Names of people I'd like to come to our wedding."

"You're inviting Hojo and Kota?" inuyasha barked clearly upset over the fact.

"Is there any one you'd like to invite inuyasha?" kagome asked ignoring his question.

"Sanota and Mr. Mesakies." Inuyasha mumbled, having grown to almost like the two older men he worked for. Switching back to his pervious question, inuyasha glared at kagome. "You didn't answer me, why you inviting those to morons?"

"Because their still my friends, so be nice inuyasha." kagome shot back, sending inuyasha a glare of her own.

"Yea but they like you." inuyasha argued still.

"And I'm marring you, so what does that matter?" kagome countered, one dark eye brow raised in question.

"They like you!" inuyasha repeated with more force, trying to get his point crossed.

Kagome shook her head as she added another name to their invitation list. "Kota's got a girlfriend and I think Hojo's seeing someone as well."

Inuyasha let out a small 'Feh' as he got up from the table, taking both his plate and kagome's to the sink. He still really didn't like the ideal of those two hanging around kagome, but if what she said is really true then maybe it would be so irritating.

Inuyasha froze as he picked up the fresh sent of salt water hit his nose. Spinning around inuyasha found the source of the smell, his mate was crying. Reacting purely on instinct inuyasha pulled her into his arms, giving her all the comfort he was capable of as he held her to his beating heart.

"No, no, no. don't cry. Don't cry. Why are you crying? Does it really bother you that much?" inuyasha asked, confused as to what made her cry. He felt kagome shake her head against his chest. Lightly he forced her to look up at him, the sight of her red rimmed eyes and the tears still spilling from them made inuyasha's heart hurt. "Mate, what's wrong?"

"I-I wish S-Sango and mirok-ku and Sh-sh-hippo could come to our wedding." kagome sobbed, more tears falling as she tried unsuccessfully to make them stop. Inuyasha felt her pain, he wished there was some way he could make her wish come true but without the well working, pigs were more likely to fly.

"Why so Miroku can give me all kinds of perverted advice on being a husband and you know Sango would attack every car in japan with that giant boomerang bone of hers. And I'd probably get sat by you right into the wedding cake for chasing Hippo." inuyasha snorted. He wanted to cheer kagome up, inuyasha didn't like to see her cry.

"p-probably" kagome laughed, a truly happy smile spreading crossed her face. Inuyasha had to kiss her, seeing those sweet lips of hers twisting up into that beguiling smile of hers was just too much of a temptation for the boy to handle. Inuyasha's head dipped down, sealing his lips to hers.

"Ahem!" a very loud voice near the kissing couple caused them to break apart guiltily. Blushing darkly as they looked from each other to Grandpa Higurashi, who'd interrupted them.

"Save that nonsense for after the vows are exchanged, and out of the kitchen." Grandpa ordered the two, on his way to get a cup of tea. "ah almost forgot, your mother wants you and demon boy over there, to head to Blossoms, the florist shop down on Nobinooga road, and pick out your wedding flowers after your done with the invitations, she also said to go ahead and put the invites in their mail boxes."

"Oh…Kay." Kagome said slowly, she was begun to get the feeling she might want to start making a list of things they had to do. Separating the envelops with their cards into two equal stakes, she passed on to inuyasha, keeping the other pile for herself.

"You make the invites for the guys and I'll make the girl's along with Kota's and Hojo's" kagome said as she placed the list of names between them, she didn't trust inuyasha with either of her ex- not really suitors invites. Knowing inuyasha, he'd probably fill the card full of insults, shove it in their mail box and not mention a thing about being invited to their wedding.

"Keh, whatever wench." Inuyasha said, the name had long ago lost any of its intended insult, inuyasha had come to use it as almost if it was a term of endearment with kagome. Kagome ignored him, already intent on writing out her stack of invites.

The two teens thought their hands were going to fall off by the time both piles had been finished. They hadn't even invited that many people, unfortunately the cards had been completely blank so they'd had to write out everything and then address the letters as well. It was quite tiring.

Looking over they cards kagome frowned. It wasn't fair, kagome thought to herself, his hand writing is so much better than mine. Inuyasha snickered behind her, having figured out what she was thinking from her expressions as she looked between the two envelopes.

Inuyasha had once again been forced to wait while kagome picked out her flours for her wedding bouquet, apparently it was still part of the brides wedding dress and therefor bad luck if he saw them before the wedding. He was surprised when kagome rejoined him only a few minutes after she'd left his side.

"I thought you needed to pick out your flowers." Inuyasha asked surprised by the very short wait.

"Yep" kagome chirped her short answer, a big smile on her face.

"Did they not have any flowers?" inuyasha asked next.

"They had lots." Kagome answered, her smile growing.

"Then did you not find any you liked?" inuyasha asked still confused.

"Oh I liked all their flowers." Kagome giggled, she could see how badly inuyasha's curiosity was eating him up.

"So you picked your flowers then?" inuyasha queried farther.

"Yep" kagome chirped once again, her grin reaching from ear to ear now.

Inuyasha tried to drag more answers out of her but kagome would give, no matter what tactic he tried. Finally giving up inuyasha's mind wondered to other things as they went around town putting the invitations in mail boxes and such.

"Hey kagome, you know in your time we've meet Kouga's reincarnation and Keade's reincarnation and I think Mr. Myoto might be myoga's reincarnation… Sango Miroku and even Shippo's reincarnation could be running around japan during this time as well." inuyasha finally spoke aloud the thought that had been bouncing around his head since they'd first run into Kouga's reincarnation a month ago.

"It…its possible." kagome reasoned as equal amounts hope and sadness made war inside of her. At the same time she was scared also, with so many people in japan there was no promise that their paths would ever cross. Not only that but they wouldn't be the same friends that they'd travel feudal japan with, their reincarnations would be their own people, with new memories. But where ever the souls of her friends were, she wished them all the happiness in the world.

The next morning when kagome woke up, the first thing she did was run to the bath room. The second thing she did that morning was regurgitate whatever had been left in her stomach of last night's dinner. The third thing she did that morning was repeat the throwing up process until around noon when she suddenly felt fine again.

"Are you sure you're okay?" inuyasha asked kagome for what felt like the hundredth and fiftieth time that day.

"I'm fine, now come help me get the attic later down" kagome promised trying to tamp down her temper, but if he asked her one more time, rosaries or no she was going to S-I-T him.

Inuyasha grumbled but did as requested and pulled the rickety latter down from the ceiling. He followed closely behind kagome as she headed up the later, wanting to be close enough to grab her encase she slipped or something.

Once they were in the shrine attic, kagome quickly turned on the small battery powered lantern she'd brought up with her. The attic wasn't very large but it was taken up by a great many number of boxes and none of them were labeled.

"There's got to be something we could use up here" kagome muttered as she attacked the box closet to her.

"Why do we need 'something old'?" asked inuyasha, as the dust from opening a box caused him to sneeze quite violently.

"it's for good luck inuyasha, for a wedding a bride needs something new, something old, something barrowed, something blue and a yen in her shoe." Kagome explained, as she sung the little old chant.

"I thought I wasn't supposed to see anything your wearing to the wedding?" inuyasha asked as he pulled a rather ugly mask out of a box, apparently grandpa stored shrine artifacts in the attic as well as in the shed's outside.

"since were looking for something old it's okay, and mommy had to take Sota to soccer so she couldn't help me look, you were the only one left that wouldn't give me the history of every object up here." Kagome answered grinning at inuyasha. He growled at her, not liking the dusty attic but unwilling to leave her up here a lone. He gave into kagome's willpower and began searching the boxes as well, figuring that with his help they wouldn't have to spend so much time up here.

Kagome was begun to grow frustrated, they had been up here for nearly two hours already and still no luck. Kagome was about to call it quits for the day when inuyasha shout of excitement suddenly broke threw her foul mood. Cirous as to what he'd found kagome crawled over to him.

"Would these work?" inuyasha asked as soon as kagome settled besides him. Somehow amidst all this old junk inuyasha had managed to find a pair of wedding cups. The little cups were carefully packed in a small hat box; they'd obviously meant a lot to the person who'd packed them with so much care.

"Oh inuyasha, their perfect!" kagome cooed happily as she picked up the smaller wife cup out of the box and held it to the light. The skilled artist who made the cups must have truly been inspired when he made the cups. The great dog painted on the side looked as if it could come to life any second and run right off the cup. So real was the grate white beast, its eyes were gold and the fur was a startlingly white even for the age of the cups. Strangely kagome found herself thinking the dog resembled Inuyasha's brother Sesshomaru when he transformed into that of a large demon dog.

Still the cups were unbelievably beautiful, Smokey blue gray background for the great dog as he ran a crossed the clouds that decorated the bottom. There was even elegant scroll work along back side of the cup done in gold and silver lettering, kagome couldn't read the archaic kanji, but she was still awed by its beauty.

Placing the cup back in the box kagome noticed a red cord carefully stored inside the husbands cup. Eyeing it, kagome wondered if it too had something to do with the wedding ceremony. Catching inuyasha's look of impatience kagome left it alone, making a mental note to ask her grandpa about it later.

"So we got the something old covered." Inuyasha said as he handed the box back to kagome once they were back in her room.

"And something barrowed from my mom." Kagome added. Inuyasha was curious but he already knew he'd get no answer out of her, so he didn't bother to press for information.

"And the yen, what's next" inuyasha asked.

"Nothing." Answered kagome, surprising inuyasha.

"Nothing? But I thought we had something blue and new to look for still?"

"I've already taken care of those two." Kagome replied with a secret smile.

"Not fair." Inuyasha muttered under his breath and crossed his arms over his chest, pouting.

Kagome laughed, she couldn't help inuyasha was just too cute some times. Giving him a peck on the cheek she smiled at him "you'll find out Friday."

Inuyasha growled playfully at kagome, holding her in place by the hair at the back of her head inuyasha proceeded to kiss her senseless. If he couldn't have his answers, he'd at least have a proper kiss from his mate.

Thursday morning dawned with much the same reaction as the previous mornings. Kagome was up and out of bed as soon as she awoke, leaving a nervous half demon to stand at the bathroom door, not knowing what else he should do.

"Kagome I want you to go to the doctor today, okay honey?" said Mrs. Higurashi as she caught her daughter throwing up for the fourth time that week. Although kagome seemed to perk up after she was awake for a while, it still bothered her mother that she was throwing up.

Kagome could only nod her head, although she really didn't like going to the doctors she was in no mood to argue over it at the moment.

After making the appointment with the doctor's offices for kagome, Mrs. Higurashi sighed. There was just so much to do and so little time with the wedding tomorrow and kagome getting sick. Mrs. Higurashi wasn't sure how she was going to manage getting ever thing done today. While she was trying to figure out how she'd possibly pick up the flowers, wedding decorations, the special guests, get Sota to his soccer game, kagome to the doctor and go to the store, not to mention bake the wedding cake today after she got the ingredients from the store, a thought suddenly occurred to mar. Higurashi.

Running back up stares she found inuyasha still standing helplessly outside the bathroom. "Inuyasha. Could you do me a favor and take kagome to the doctor's at two fifteen today?"

Inuyasha nodded slowly. She felt for the boy, he was obviously worried about her daughter. Kagome's mom was so happy her daughter had found someone who cared so deeply for her, it would make for a good marriage.

Somewhere a crossed town in a small clinic not far from the Higurashi's shrine and a few hours later, around two to be exact, two experienced and very board doctors were about to make a bet with each other. And the stakes would be high.

"DR. Hikio, you have a couple of teens waiting for you in room twelve" a short plump nurse with graying hair announced as she stuck her head into the doctors lounge. "The girls complaining of nausea, thinks she might have a stomach bug or the flu."

One of the other doctors in the room snorted, he was tall and good looking with short black hair that refused to behave and would stick up at odd angles. "Teenager with the flu? Ha! Try pregnant."

The other doctor was a she doctor with long dark hair tied up in a classic French twist, turned to shoot dangers at the one who'd spoken, she wasn't nearly as tall as the other doctor so the glare wasn't nearly as affective as she would have liked, but it was still quite intimidating. "You know not everyone is as hormonally driven as you, Geniko"

"What do you want to bet, Miss Hikio?" the DR. Geniko asked with a sly smile and twinkling eyes as he sized his Aponte up.

"If I win, you let me drive your car." Dr. Hikio challenged with a smirk of her own.

"Midnight? But she's a one of a kind classic! And I've seen what you've done to your last three cars!" he gasped completely horrified by her suggestion.

"I see, not man enough to rise to the bet." She taunted

"Fine, but if I win, you have to go on a date with me." Dr. Geniko challenged his smirk back in place.

"Deal." She agreed, shaking his hand firmly.

Kagome cringed as the needle punctured skin on its way to draw her blood. Turning her head away from the sight, even after all her time spent battling in feudal japan, she still couldn't stand getting blood drawn. Kagome let out a sigh of relief when the doctor withdrew.

"Alright, let me go run a test or two on this and I'll be back." The woman, who'd introduced herself as DR. Hikio, promised.

Kagome and inuyasha both hoped she'd have the cure for kagome's illness when she returned. Although kagome felt fine now, she knew in the morning she'd be leaning over the toilet again. And that didn't sound like a fun way to start off her wedding day tomorrow. It took the doctor a surprisingly short time to return, and the answer she came with was not what the pair was expecting.

"Congratulations, and I hope the two of you will be marring soon?" the doctor announced as she returned carrying a small sack in on hand and a medical folder in the other.

"Congratulations? For getting sick?" inuyasha was completely confused by the doctors strange words.

"Yes, our weddings tomorrow but what's that have to do with me being sick?" kagome questioned, slightly calmer then inuyasha but no less confused.

"Nothing to do with being sick, and everything to do with being pregnant. One month pregnant to be exact." Dr. Hikio answered with a short laugh.

"I think am going to be sick." Kagome said before clamping a hand over her mouth as she lurched forward.

"Bathroom is at the end of the hall." Dr. Hikio quickly advised, giving the girl a firm push in the right direction. She defiantly didn't want vomit all over the place. Once she was sure the young girl had made it all the way into the bathroom she turned her attention to the boy that was still standing ideally in the office.

"Alright, since she's a bit busy right now, I'll explain it to you and you can explain it later to your girlfriend." Dr. Hikio said as she forced the bag she'd been carrying into inuyasha's hands. "Inside that bag is her prenatal vitamins she is to take them every morning, also there are a couple of booklets inside as well, read them at your own disposure. After your girls done throwing up see the woman in the check-out window and make an appointment for next week."

And with that finished she waltzed out of the room leaving a dazed half-demon behind. Later that same week Dr. Hikio found herself siting a crossed from none other than the informants Dr. Gingko eating dinner, and unbelievably she found herself acutely enjoying her date with him. A year or so later the two doctors were happily married and soon to be expecting a child of their own.

"how can I be pregnant?" kagome wailed as they sat on a bench in the deserted park, being December and a rather cloudy cold day it seemed no else wanted to hang out in the park but them.

"The god tree?" inuyasha supplied helpfully. He didn't see what the big deal was, not only had he already told her she was pregnant, but she obviously had no qualms about having his children since she was willing to be not only his wife but his mate as well.

"Inuyasha that was a week ago! The doctor said I've been pregnant for a whole month! How is this even possible I would have had to gotten pregnant back in November" kagome nearly shouted at the poor medieval boy turned modern guy.

Inuyasha scratched his head were his ear's had once been in thought. "What about the night that started this whole mess? The same night after Shippo made that stupid wish that led to your mom finding us tangled up in your sheets come that morning?"

"W-what!" kagome gasped, what inuyasha suggested made sense but she could believe it, wouldn't they have remembered something like that. Kagome's eyes widen as they dream's she'd been having suddenly popped into her mind. "Inuyasha…did you um what I mean is have we…err ?"

Inuyasha blinked, and blinked again and still he had no clue what kagome had just asked him, at least he thought she'd asked him a question. "Huh?"

"Have you had any strange dreams lately?" kagome repeated her question, much slower this time.

"What do you mean by strange? I don't dream of kissing Kouga if that's what you're asking, beating him into a pulp maybe but kissing no." inuyasha snapped, his frown slowly morphing into a smirk as he visualized beating Kouga into a pulp outside of his dreams.

"no no, I mean strange dreams about us, bright light and us making uhh doing err oh never mind!" kagome threw her hands up in exasperation.

"yea." Inuyasha mumbled quietly, looking away from kagome as a bright red blush stole up his face nearly reaching his eye brows he was blushing so much.

"You do?" kagome questioned her attention snapping back to him as she noted the blush creeping up his face.

Inuyasha nodded his head in response, he really didn't want to talk about these dreams, but it looked like kagome wasn't going to give him a choice.

"With light flashes too?" kagome probed farther, waning to be positive they were halving the exact same dream. Inuyasha nodded again and kagome new she was onto something, "I think we had the same dreams or memory actually. It would make sense, inuyasha do you remember after Shippo's wish that bright flash of light?"

Inuyasha hesitantly nodded once again, wondering where she was going with this.

"And then we woke up the next morning in my time?" kagome paused as she waited for inuyasha's nod. "Well what if these dreams are really the missing memory from that night, the time matches with when I had to have gotten pregnant."

"Feh, but why don't we remember that night other than in the bits and pieces we dreamed afterwards and what did us getting naked have to do with Shippo's wish?" Inuyasha asked surprising her.

"I…I don't know." Kagome muttered suddenly down cast as she realized they were no closer to figuring out what happened after Shippo's wish then before. "What are we going to do inuyasha?"

"I don't know, ask your mom. She's been pregnant twice." Inuyasha suggested,

"Oh no what's my mother going to say when she finds out, I'm so dead! She's gonna kill me." Kagome wailed, feeling the on-comings of a panic attack kagome stuck her head between her knees and tried to breath while still continuing her rant of 'she's gonna kill me, I'm so dead, I'm too young to be a mommy or die.'

It was nearing dark before inuyasha was able to convince kagome to return park, and only after he swore not to breathe a word of it to her family.

"Kagome, inuyasha we were being to grow worried, how was the doctor visit?" Mrs. Higurashi asked catching to two as the came in through the back door.

"G-Good!" kagome squeaked nervously, her heart pounding in her chest. She realized inuyasha had already disappeared leaving her to handle this on her own.

"Good? Did they give your any medicine?" Mrs. Higurashi asked confused by her daughters answer.

"M-medicine? what m-medicine?" kagome stuttered her nerves getting the better of her as she tried to inch her way up the stairs and out from under her mother all-knowing gaze.

"Medicine for that bug you seemed to have caught, you did go to the doctor didn't you?" Mrs. Higurashi asked becoming serious suddenly.

"O-Of course! Umm uhh they gave me good medicine for the preg-errr, the preggollio flu yea, the doctor said it would clear it right up in nine m-Days!" kagome stumbled over her words, getting them mixed up with the thoughts in her head, causing her to almost blurt out the truth.

"That's good, what's the name of the medicine your taking" her mother asked, her daughters behavior making her suspicions.

"Good medicine, but I'm feeling really tired so I'm going to go take a nap before dinner, bye!" kagome shouted as she dashed up the stairs before her mother could ask anything more.

Kagome sighed, it the morning of her wedding day and she was bored out of her mind. Her family had been serious about her and inuyasha not seeing each other until the music started and grandpa was ready to give her hand away. In order to make sure there was no peeking, kagome had been locked in her mother's room until the time came, and from what she could hear going on outside of the room, inuyasha was under surveillance by grandpa. Inuyasha couldn't go more than three feet before grandpa would holler for him to get back here.

It would have been pretty funny if kagome hadn't been so bored, but the amusement had worn off about two hours ago with her make-up and hair already done kagome was too scared to move least she mess it up and now her only option for amusement was to count the stiches in her mother's comforter while she waited for her mother to come fetch her when the time was right.

It wasn't much longer when the clock struck noon and her mother burst into the room, although her eyes were slightly red she was obviously smiling and happy also. Ushering kagome into the bathroom, Mrs. Higurashi quickly helped her daughter into her wedding gown. They hadn't wanted to put it on until that last moment, just to be on the safe side. Mrs. Higurashi smiled as she stepped back to look at her daughter.

"I almost forgot something barrowed." Mrs. Higurashi said with a watery laugh as she went to her jewelry box, looking for something. Smiling fondly as her hands touched the strand of round purls, she recalled her own wedding when she'd first worn those purls. Kissing her daughters check she fastened them around her daughter's neck. "You look beautiful dear."

And indeed kagome did her long thick raven locks were down about her shoulders and her gown was of the purest whites, whiter even then snow. The sleeves were long, they needed to be since the wedding was outside after all, the bodice fit to her like a seamless glove, flowing over her curves like water, the neck was low, not low enough to be indecent, just low enough to give a hint of bosom. The skirt of the gown flared out, not to the point where people couldn't come any closer than four feet for fear of running into her dress, but just enough to give the skirt that full almost princess look.

The dress had truly been made for kagome, even the tiny flowers embroidered along the collar matched kagome's stormy blue eyes so seamlessly that it was impossible to believe otherwise. Kagome's mother was sure of it, she didn't know how the old woman from the dress shop had done it, but there was no doubt in Mrs. Higurashi's mind that she'd made that gown just for her kagome.

"Come on dear, grandpa's waiting to hand you off, and I know there's a certain someone out there under the god tree who's dying to see you." Mrs. Higurashi promised giving her daughters hand a firm squeeze, smiling as the younger girl began to blush.

Inuyasha's head suddenly turned in the direction of the Higurashi house having picked up kagome's sent suddenly. He wasn't prepared for the site that greeted his eyes. He'd never seen something so beautiful. She looked like a vision out of a dream to him, almost too beautiful for real life. She was stunning and inuyasha was speechless.

Kagome took hold of her grandfather's wrinkled and loving hand as she stepped out of the house, she could feel every one's eyes on her, but only one set of eyes mattered to her at that moment. Slowly lifting her gaze until she met the golden gaze that had captured her heart years ago, whatever the future threw brought she knew in that one moment that they would always face the future, past, and present together.

Yep I ended it there. you have to review if you want the rest of the wedding lol. By the way now that I've reached my goal of a matching the chapter with word count all the way up to chapter ten (ex: chapter4 = 4.000 words) my chapters are going to get a wee bit shorter 10.000 word chapter is killer , expect 5.000+ word chapters ( unless you guys have a different count that you like better, I'm still open to suggestions) but shorter chapters will mean faster up dates, and maybe I won't be so brain dead after trying to spell check 'em.

By the way IT'S MY BIRTHDAY! Woot. This is my birthday gift to you all!

Ps. I'll be posting two new inu/kag AU stories soon, one is getting posted with this chapter, and the other story will probably be posted with the next update. Please read and review those as well. :3
