Chapter 32

The Kami's Greatest Gift

The next few weeks went by in a rush for Kagome as she ran around with her mom and Sango doing fittings, tastings, and picking out decorations. Sesshomaru hired people to do this for her but this was her one and only wedding and Kagome didn't want strangers, no matter how well meaning, planning everything for her. They could do the set up once she picked the theme and decorations but Kagome preferred to do everything else herself.

/The Day of the Wedding/

Standing in front of the mirror as she looked at herself Kagome could hardly believe that this day had come so quickly. It was as if she had been in her own world of silks, pastries and fine china. They had decided on a Western Style wedding and the gown she'd picked out along with the head dress and makeup made Kagome look like a princess in a fairytale.

Coming out of her daze she noticed Sango straightening out her train. "Sango, is there something you need to tell me?" Kagome asked accusingly.

"No, not really," she replied but at Kagome's intense stare Sango added, " Um, you look beautiful and I am so happy to be your maid of honor." Sango replied in an innocent tone.

"You know what I am talking about," Kagome said narrowing her eyes. Pointing at Sango's hand she asked, "What is that?"

Sango could no longer hide her smile as she turned her hand around with the back of her hand facing out so Kagome could get a better view.

"Well, let's just say this is not the only wedding we'll be a part of together."

The room was suddenly filled with high pitched squeals as Kagome and Sango held each other and jumped up and down, well as much as they could with their current state of dress.

Miroku hearing the noise sported a knowing smile while Sesshomaru just shook his head. His little wife had a mouth on her when she wanted and he wouldn't want it any other way.

In her own spot Mrs. Higurashi also smiled as she dabbed her eyes once again. She had noticed the ring on Sango's hand right away but choose not to call Sango on it. There would be plenty of time to do that. When in the room Mrs. Higurashi tried to concentrate only on Kagome and helping her get ready. She still ended up leaving right after so Kagome wouldn't notice the stray tears that kept slipping down her cheeks. She wasn't usually an overly emotional woman but looking at her little Kagome all grown up and getting married was enough to set off the sprinklers.

"Oh, my...goodness…. Sango! Why didn't you tell me?" Kagome asked.

"Well, I was going to but this is your day. The only reason I even wore the ring was because I knew we would be taking lots of pictures and I wanted to be wearing it in them. I was going to tell you once you came back from your honey moon."

"I will tell you all about it later but right now we need to focus on you. Now come on before you wrinkle your dress," Sango chastised.

Getting in their places Kagome waited for her cue so that she could start walking. There were many more people than she would have liked but the marriage of the only Tashio son was a big deal. Only business associates and their families were able to come and for Kagome that was more than enough. The newspaper people and paparazzi were all gathered outside being kept from getting too close by security guards posted in a tight ring around the building.

Kagome's mother had already gone down the aisle followed by Sango and Miroku. Kagome smiled to herself as she looked at her escort down the aisle. After what Kagome was sure was much pleading, begging and bartering Sesshomaru finally allowed Inutaisho to escort Kagome down the aisle in her father's place since he was deceased. Kagome suddenly heard her cue as she felt Inutaisho link their arms and start walking. Smiling he quickly whispered, "Don't worry my dear everything will be just fine. And with you looking so beautiful I am assured many grandchildren." He teased.

Smacking him lightly on the hand they started their trek down the aisle. Kagome's heartbeat sped up at the sight of Sesshomaru standing there waiting for her. He looked so handsome and when he caught sight of her he smiled. His smile was breathtaking and something very rarely seen in public. Kagome was sure her face was taking on the tint of a cherry tomato by now and Inutaisho's knowing smirk was not helping matters.

After Inutaisho handed her off Kagome gave Sesshomaru one of her brightest smiles as the priest started the ceremony.

After the wedding the reception started right away. The hall was beautifully decorated and a fun time was had by all. As Sesshomaru and Kagome glided across the floor Kagome noticed Inutaisho and his wife dancing not too far from them. He winked his eye at her and then turned his lady dipping her and planting a chaste kiss on her mouth. Kagome was under the impression that they didn't get along well these days and was curious as to the change but that was for other days. Today she would think only of Sesshomaru and their time together.

/ Later/

Sesshomaru had made arrangements for a small staff to man his private yacht. Kagome had always heard about how beautiful the Jamaican Islands were so Sesshomaru had planned for them to go there. After serving them the best meal Kagome could remember eating the staff soon retired to their quarters.

It was late and Kagome was looking over the water. There was a full moon and the refection was so beautiful Kagome had no words to describe it. Sesshomaru came behind her slowly looking at the sight she made silhouetted by the moonlight. Wrapping his arms around her as he kissed her neck Sesshomaru spoke in a deep voice filled with need. Kagome had wanted to wait until the wedding night before they were intimate again, not that they would have had any time anyway with all the planning. Though Sesshomaru secretly thought she just did it to torture him but no more would she escape him.

"It is time to retire for the night so that we may consummate our marriage wife."

Smiling Kagome teased, "Nah, that's alright. Maybe tomorrow or the next day right now I want to watch the water. Isn't' it beautiful?"

Nipping her neck Sesshomaru countered, "I am interested in much more beautiful sights," smirking at the shivers he felt coming from her. Picking Kagome up and carrying her bridal style into the bedchambers Sesshomaru continued to smirk at Kagome's squeals of pleasure as his hands roamed a little.

Warning Start of Lemon

Putting Kagome down in front of the bed Sesshomaru slowly started undressing Kagome, moving her hands every time she tried to help. Once she was down to her heels and garter Sesshomaru pushed her down on the bed as she gasped from surprise. Crawling up her body nipping at her thighs along the way Sesshomaru then swirled his tongue around in her navel. Feeling Kagome's hands in his hair Sesshomaru continued his trek up her body and grabbed her hands pulling them over her head with his right hand while his left explored her luscious curves.

As Kagome started to wriggle and pant Sesshomaru captured her lips effectively quieting her. Reaching for the left side of the bed Sesshomaru grabbed a silk scarf and tied Kagome's hands in place. Then standing up Sesshomaru stripped slowly making a show of how aroused he was at the sight of her wriggling around on the bed like she was. Once he was completely nude Sesshomaru kneeled at the foot of the bed removing Kagome's shoes. Leaning up Sesshomaru unfastened the snaps of her garter with his teeth and tongue as he slowly pulled of one stocking and then the other.

"Sesshomaru please," Kagome begged only to be silenced once again.

Sesshomaru then kissed each foot and started to nibble his way up until he got to her knees where he kissed the underside enjoying Kagome's giggles. He had planned to tease her for a while before he got started but seeing her like that with her hands tied and her nipples beckoning him as her chest rose and fell was pushing the limits of his patience.

Decision made Sesshomaru moved up on the bed nipping and licking his way to her core. Placing Kagome's legs over his shoulders Sesshomaru looked up at Kagome's pleading eyes as he slowly licked his lips. Enclosing her wriggling hips with his arms on either side Sesshomaru smirked before diving into her with his tongue.

Kagome hips lifted off the bed in pleasure as a moan escaped her mouth. Pulling back Sesshomaru then took his time slowly licking and sucking her nether lips until he got to her clit.

Kagome panted loudly as she begged Sesshomaru to stop teasing her. She suddenly gasped as Sesshomaru answered her by humming, "hmm mmm," as he continued sucking on her clit, his left hand reaching up to stroke her breast. Kagome didn't know how much more she could take as the heat started pooling in her lower regions. Sesshomaru was driving her crazy almost taking her to the edge and then lavishing a totally different spot with attention. Pushing her pelvis forward Kagome tried to get Sesshomaru back to the spot he was purposely avoiding. But at her whimpers he finally asked, "mumm hmm ha hmmm hmm wan muunny," (translation: Kagome are you sure you're ready) the humming paired with his sucking almost pushing her over the brink.

"Yes," Kagome almost screamed giving Sesshomaru an ego boost. When he was done with her she would not even look in the direction of another male. Pulling his hands down underneath her ample cheeks Sesshomaru lifted her closer to his mouth so he could properly feed while he slowly kneaded her ass.

Moving at a steady pace Sesshomaru's ministrations were rewarded by Kagome's loud moan as her thighs gripped his head and her walls clenched pouring her savory essence onto his tongue. After taking his time lapping up all the juices she offered, to Kagome's intense pleasure, he sat up to look at her. Sesshomaru stroked her stomach placing kisses along her sides before clamping down on a nipple.

Kagome's yell of pleasure was all he needed to hear. "Kagome look at me," Sesshomaru said tenderly. Kagome just smiled for a moment letting her body come down off its high. Her eyes were at half mast and she was flushed from his exertions. Pinching her other nipple gently he repeated, "Kagome look at me."

Opening her eyes Kagome looked up at her Adonis lovingly. "Are you ready?" Sesshomaru asked.

Confusion adorning her face Kagome asked, "Ready for what?"

"I gave you a few moments to rest," Sesshomaru answered, "And now it's time we begin. At the end of this night you will belong to me and only me forever." He said sliding inside Kagome's walls as they automatically clamped down on his member. Gritting his teeth against her heat and the pleasure Sesshomaru started with slow steady stokes as Kagome's moans started to get louder.

Reaching up to untie her wrist Sesshomaru started to scratch and play Kagome's nipples as he started pounding harder, enjoying the yells and moans he elicited from her. Switching up Sesshomaru took Kagome's legs down and again started a new rhythm while Kagome used her now unbound hands to pull and dig into his shoulder blades. He was trying to hold out but Sesshomaru had been denied her body for way to long and she felt even better than before.

"Do you want me Kagome?" Sesshomaru asked as he shifted her on all fours making sure to put her just right. Sesshomaru had her face facing the mirror so he could see every passionate, satisfied expression that crossed her face. Never would she forget this, the beginning of their new lives together.

Getting carnal pleasure from looking at her ass swaying in front of him with her swollen lips dripping sweet nectar Sesshomaru reached around and started to rub Kagome's clit. He was getting immense pleasure from her ever increasing pants and movements.

"I said, Do you want me Kagome?" This time being answered with an out of breath yes.

"To whom do you belong?"

"You only you," Kagome panted thinking that if he didn't start again soon she would flip him over and take him.

"What's my name?" he asked and at her muffled answer he asked again.

"What's my name? Louder so that everyone can hear." Sesshomaru said as he lined himself up with her precious satin lined hole. Feeling his tip in her Kagome tried to push back on him to no avail as Sesshomaru had anticipated this and had a hold of her hips. Teasing her he ever so slowly ran his tip up and down her lips pushing in just enough to cover his head and then pulling out.

Suddenly Kagome yelled "Sesshomaru!" as he rammed into her going all the way in to the hilt. Sesshomaru leaned over and kissed her back and neck. Hearing her yell his name made him feel like the most important man in the world. Yes, he was the alpha dog and he would make sure she knew it.

Sesshomaru then picked up the pace as Kagome's screams did the same. He continued pounding into her mercilessly as Kagome started to go rigid, her walls trying to squeeze the life out of him causing a moan of his own followed by a deep growl that vibrated through her. Her spasms along with her pants pushed him over the edge as he too reached orgasm. Grunting Sesshomaru continued pumping not quite ready to stop as he tried to prolong their pleasure.

As the he came off his high Sesshomaru pulled her back with him and turned Kagome around facing him while she was still impaled. He had waited far too long to be in this position and he was in no hurry to move. As he pulled her down with him so that she was lying on his chest, Sesshomaru kissed her sweaty forehead. Exhausted they both dozed off and on, occasionally moving and sending residual orgasms through them both.

"Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked in a soft voice.

"Hn," he replied.

"Are you gonna just stay like this inside me?"

"Hn, as long as I possibly can," he answered smugly as he made his member jerk inside of her bringing forth the most beautiful moan from his little wife.

End Lemon

Kagome awoke to the sounds of the ocean. She never noticed that the porthole had been open but she was kind of preoccupied at the time. Looking over all she saw a curtain of silver hair attached to the arm holding her. Smiling, Kagome rubbed his arm as she laid there thinking. For some reason an old poem from nursery school popped into her mind. It was called The Weeping Willow.

Kagome remembered when they learned about the tree. It was not native to Japan but rather the United States and her teacher taught them a poem and the story behind the tree. Kagome had long ago forgotten the story but the poem stuck in her mind for some reason. Maybe it was because for a long time she always that a part of her resonated with the beginning of the poem.

I feel I am like the willow tree who's always hanging down

And like that mournful willow I hurt, I ache, and always wear a frown.

Kagome smiled as she remembered the first two verses because it was not those that were now ringing in her head but the latter verses. As her brows scrunched up in thought Kagome finally remembered the latter half.

I am also strong like the willow tree.

For I too have endured the thunder and lightning.

The harsh wind and the bruises inflicted upon me.

Smiling Kagome thought, yes I have endured. Kagome mentally patted herself on the back for eventually pulling out of the funk she had been in for so long. Maybe that's why the poem popped in her head again after so long. Before she was able to follow that train of thought Kagome was pulled out of her reminiscing by Sesshomaru's movement.

Sesshomaru shifted, tightening his grasp on her waist making Kagome forget all about Weeping Willows. Kagome couldn't help but smile when Sesshomaru turned on his side and pulled her flush against his chest, spooning her. She was under no illusions that everything would be smooth sailing between them but, come what may, they would face it head on and deal with it together. Kagome couldn't remember being this content; she finally had what she had always wanted.

She had him,

Her Best Friend,

Her Companion,

Her Lover,

Her Husband,

The Kami's Greatest Gift.

FIN

Thanks again everyone for all the love and support I received on this story. Sorry it took so long to post this but I couldn't figure out how to end it and kept writing and re-writing. Some of you have asked about a sequel and I am giving it lots of thought. After all I'm sure things are going to be quite interesting for Kagome and Sesshomaru for a while and I really don't think Inuyasha is smart enough to stay away. Until next time guys.
