Chapter 4: Preparations
Inuyasha awoke the next morning mostly back to his normal form. Minus the massive headache he had. He felt as though his head was about to explode as he saw the sun's rays that were drifting into the hut.
"Ugh," he moaned shutting his eyes. "What the hell is wrong with me?"
"I believe Kagome calls that a 'hangover' little brother," Sesshomaru said simply.
Inuyasha cracked one of his eyes open as he half glared at his older brother, whom was sipping tea. Sesshomaru looked completely normal, like as though the events from last night's little drinking craze had no effect on him what so ever. But then again, Inuyasha had been human last night.
Last night.
Today was his wedding.
And he had a hangover.
Groaning again, he flipped onto his stomach. ' Today is really not my day,' he thought to himself.
Sesshomaru watched his younger brother in amusement. He had only figured that maybe Inuyasha might be a little sick from everything he was drinking last night, but instead he had one of the worst headaches known to man.
"Be thankful you're in better shape than the wolf and monk," he said as he took another sip. "Unlike you and me, they were throwing up all last night. I believe they fell asleep maybe two hours ago."
Now at least he had a reason to laugh. Miroku he expected to get sick, but Koga? Now that was hilarious to him.
"You do realize that they'll be back in a few hours, right?" Sesshomaru said now putting down his empty tea cup. "And I have a bad feeling we're all going to be in trouble for this."
"Well," Inuyasha sighed. "At least Shippo's not gonna rat us out about what we did to him. We talked about it last night."
"Oh really?" he asked, sounding relieved. "Well that's good. I don't think having Rin angry at me tonight would have been a good thing at all."
"Same here," Inuyasha chuckled. "And by the way, never throw my son in poison ivy again."
Now Sesshomaru sighed, but he gave his brother a steady glare.
"Then he better not ever call me that name again."
"What?" Inuyasha asked looking smugly at him now. "Uncle Fluffy?"
Sesshomaru visibly cringed, making Inuyasha laugh at him. He had removed the long fluffy thing from his robes the moment Shippo had started calling him that, but unfortunately, his nephew thought it was still funny to use the nickname, even if it was just to piss him off.
"Don't call me that," he hissed. "Or else I'll make sure you die a virgin, little brother."
Inuyasha instantly shut his mouth, and glared at his brother.
"That was low, Ses."
Sesshomaru only smiled a cocky grin at him.
"It shut you up didn't it?"
Inuyasha growled, but thought better of getting into a fight with his brother today of all days. So as he stood up, cracking his neck and shoulders, he decided to go and bathe in the hot springs. Hoping that it would clear his head of the pain and help him relax about today.
As he walked out of the hut, Inuyasha found his thought's wandering again. Back to Kagome like always. He wondered if they would always be as happy as they were together now or would that all go away. He wished he could see into the future and know what was going to happen.
Shippo's demand was still running threw his head, and he smiled as he started to undress at the hot springs. Pups, how would Kagome feel about that?
Sure, he knew she could be an amazing mother just by the way she had raised Shippo, but would she want any for her own? They would be like him of course, so he really needed to find out… and soon.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Mom!? Are you ready yet? We need to go!" Kagome shouted from the well house.
She had already brought the others over, and now she was waiting for her mother to be ready and leave as well. It was about ten minutes to noon now, and she was getting restless.
Her excitement had turned into nervousness as she checked her watch once more. Today was the day. She was going to get married. And she'd be damned if she was late to her own wedding because her mother said she needed to give her something special.
"Come on Mom!" she shouted once more in the direction of the house.
Suddenly her mother ran out of the house as fast as her legs could carry her. And she was holding quite a few things that Kagome smacked her forehead amongst seeing.
A bridal dress bag.
A suitcase.
And a digital video camera.
"Mom," she said sighing. "Do you really need all of that?"
"Yes! I do!," she said handing her daughter the video camera. "Your dress is all set and ready to be worn, I have my own dress in the suitcase, and since your brother couldn't come, I'm going to video tape everything for him."
"But mom, we can't bring all of this over in one go," she said pointedly. "It won't fit down the well."
That's when an evil grin spread across her face, making Kagome shiver.
"Oh, yes it will," she said with a cold edge to her voice.
After a moment, Kagome rolled her eyes. If she dropped any of that on the way through the well, it was a good chance they would never see it again. So, grabbing the wedding dress from her mother, Kagome tucked it under her arm as tightly as she could.
"Okay, lets go," she said jumping to the top of the well.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Inuyasha sank lower into the warm water, sighing in relief. His headache from hell was finally leaving, and he never thought he could be so grateful for something so simple.
But all too soon, his peace and quiet was disturbed by a monk and wolf youkai joining him, by falling into the water.
As the large splashes reached his face, he growled at the both of them. They were still plastered from the night before, and from what he could see by their skin tones, they looked a little pale and green. Miroku looked better than the wolf surprisingly, and Inuyasha finally laughed at the both of them, shaking his head.
"I told you not to drink with Sesshomaru," he said in a mocking tone to Koga. "That brother of mine can really drink."
"Tell me about it," he commented smugly. "I thought he was only joking last night. But he really knocked me on my ass with that stuff."
Inuyasha laughed again, but turned his attention towards Miroku. The monk was sighing as he dunked his head under the warm water. He didn't look worried in the least that today was his wedding. He actually looked content about something. So, Inuyasha just being curious, asked his best friend what he was thinking about.
"Hey, Miroku, what's on your mind?"
Miroku gave him a devilish smile, and that was all he needed. Miroku's mind was still one tracked. Even for a 27 year old man, he was an unbelievable pervert still. Inuyasha shook his head at him.
"Pervert," he chuckled under his breath.
Miroku glared at him and raised an eyebrow.
"Considering the fact that, sadly, we're all going to lose our virginities tonight, I can't help but think of it. Aren't you guys thinking about it as well?"
Now, this had crossed both demon men's minds a few times in the past few hours. But to actually think about it?
Nope.
"And why do we need to think about it Miroku?" Inuyasha said dully to him. "What's the big deal? I mean, from what I understand it's a part of the mating ritual, but what else is there?"
Now both Miroku and Koga were staring at him, wide eyed and their jaws hanging open. The hanyou looked back and fourth between them, trying to figure out what the big deal was.
"What?" he asked them, getting annoyed.
Miroku was the first to speak.
"Do you mean to tell me… us… that you've never…," he said now looking to the wolf. "What's a good word for something like this?"
"Relieved," he said simply.
"That you've never relieved yourself? At all?!"
Now Inuyasha was confused. What the hell were they talking about?
"In what way? Fighting or are you talking about something else entirely?" he asked.
With that, both of his friends looked at each other, almost in horror. Then suddenly began to laugh at him. And Inuyasha, not liking to be the butt of a joke he had no idea about, growled at them both.
"What the hell is so funny?" he asked between clenched teeth.
But they both wouldn't say a word, and since they were both feeling a lot better now, they decided to run and leave the hanyou to his thought's.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Well mom, this is it! Welcome to the past," Kagome said cheerfully as her mother finally reached the top of the well and fell out.
When Sachi looked around, she was in complete awe. The wind was gentle against her face and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Looking a little to her left, she saw the Sacred Tree; so young and still so beautiful. It was decorated in paper streamers and unlit candles everywhere. It was most likely where the ceremony was going to take place, so she felt it met her standards as she looked onward. But out of the clear blue, she heard a male voice calling out to someone. And when she turned around, what she saw had her fall to the ground.
"Mom!" a young man said as he ran towards Kagome, giving her a nearly bone crushing hug as they fell over.
Kagome laughed as she noticed her mother's face, but hugged her teenage son back just the same. Even though he was a lot older now, he still had to run to her and give her a big hug anytime she returned. And she wouldn't change that for anything in the world.
"Hi Shippo," she laughed as he finally released her. "I want you to meet someone," she said now getting up and bring him over to her mother. "Shippo, this is your grandmother… and mom, this is my adopted son, Shippo."
Shippo looked at the older woman in front of him and smiled. So this was her. And he had to admit, he saw a lot of his mother in this woman's warm brown eyes. She looked a little confused at first, but smiled and stood up, giving him a light hug.
"It's great to finally meet you, Shippo," she said as she pulled away.
"Same here, grandma," he said smiling once again.
"Where's your father?" Kagome asked skeptically. "By now he must know I'm back."
Now Shippo knew he was in trouble. If he confessed what the other's had done the night before, they would kill him for sure. And since Inuyasha had apologized for the punishment he had received the night before, he didn't feel like ratting his dad out…. Yet.
"I think he's at the hot springs. He said he needed to relax," he said as calmly as possible. Not realizing how right he was in fact. "You know, because of everything that's going to happen today and all."
Feeling relieved when his mother bought his story, he started to walk back to the village with them, but his nose caught an interesting ink scent coming off of his mother, and without thinking, he opened his mouth.
"Why do you smell like ink Mom?"
Both of the women stopped dead in their tracks and looked at him. Kagome's eyes were wide and full of horror as she realized that she had forgotten to cover her tattoo that morning with ointment, and her mother glared at her.
"You went and got a tattoo yesterday, didn't you darling?"
Kagome sighed, knowing that she couldn't lie to either of them. So, when she turned around and lifted the back of her pink tank top, they both gasped.
"Oh my…" her mother whispered about to faint.
"Holy shit," was all Shippo managed to say for a moment before looking at her. "He's gonna kill you."
"Considering the fact that it's his name I don't think he will," she said turning back around, and now glaring at her son. "And watch your mouth young man."
Shippo grumbled something under his breath, but dropped the conversation as they made there way to the village. They needed to start getting ready. And time was of the essence.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
