Well, sorry I'm late once again. I may have jumped a little to far forward in the story but hey, it was going to happen anyway. Besides, now I can do even more chapters for you because I was starting to run out of ideas.


Commit

The church was filled with guest to witness the union taking place. A new Taisho was soon to be added to the family and Toga couldn't be happier…well yes he could, he just needed to get his other son to do the same. A certain female was thinking the same thing.

Kagome stood in the bride's maid's line as the maid of honor looking longingly at Kikyo and Inuyasha ahead of her. They looked to be so in love, so happy, so into each other. That could be her and a certain somebody who was currently the best man and looking agonizingly bored right now.

Five and a half years, they've been together for five and a half years and he hasn't made a move to ask her yet. What is he waiting on, she was more than ready to just tie the knot and make their union official. She had graduated college almost a year ago and even has a job as a graphic designer for Taisho Corps, now she wanted to go on to the next step. She almost growled out loud but didn't get to upon hearing,

"You may now kiss your bride."

Her anger was put aside as she watched the happy couple kiss. Awe's and soft applause erupted from the people in the pews along with cameras as people were taking pictures of lasting memories for the newlyweds and themselves. The groom and his bride quickly strolled down the aisle they came from and soon everyone fell into line behind them starting with the expressionless Sesshomaru and the brooding Kagome.

He glanced down at her for a moment before turning his eyes back to the path ahead of them. The wedding party crowded in two limos while Kikyo and Inuyasha took their own. The Kagome, Sango, Ayame and a few other girls in one limo and Sesshomaru, Miroku, Koga, and some other guys in the other.

Sango saw Kagome glaring at everything out the window and said, "What's wrong Kags?"

Kagome mumbled something that sounded like 'stupid demon' and 'fear of commitment.'

"Kagome, you're rambling, tell me what's wrong." Sango said while reaching for her friend.

When Kagome felt a hand on her shoulder she almost fell out her seat then laughed nervously.

"Oh hey Sango how long have you been sitting there?"

Sango rolled her eyes at her then said, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong-"

"Kagome Higurashi, if you don't tell me this instant then no desert for you at the reception!"

"Not fair!"

Sango just crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow letting Kagome know that she was waiting. At this point Ayame joined in also wanting to know what was wrong. She had been watching Kagome fidget during the ceremonies and knew that something was troubling her.

"It's that stupid dog that I'm living with."

Ayame growled while Sango cracked her knuckles ready to jump him if he hurt her like he did a long time ago.

"What did Sesshomaru do to you know, if he laid a hand on you, I'll…"

Kagome raised her hands and waved them as she shook her head. "No it's nothing like that, it's just that…"

She trailed off and looked down at her hands wishing she could explain herself better but she knew that once her friends wanted her to talk, they will keep pestering her until she does.

"Well…Sango, Miroku proposed to you and Ayame, you and Koga are mates. Now Kikyo's finally married with Inuyasha…Me and Sesshomaru are just going nowhere."

Both older girls looked at her with understanding. Ayame put an arm around her and Sango said, "Kagome, I'm sure he's working on it. You know how these guys are with the subject of commitment. You know how long it took Miroku to ask me. I knew way ahead of time but knew it would hurt his pride if he didn't say it."

-Flashback-

Poor Miroku had been nervous half of the year since he decided to move his and Sango's relationship. He had finally gotten the nerve to buy a ring but waited the other half to tell her.

Before he did tell her, she was spring cleaning. While cleaning in their room, she stumbled across the black box under the bed and smiled lovingly before placing it back knowing he would tell her when the time was right.

For the other half of the year, she helped him out a little by enticing him and making suggestions and he eventually he gave in.

-End Flashback-

Ayame agreed then said, "Then with Koga, it was stressing him out so much that we nearly got into fights almost every single night. It was so funny when he finally came out with it though."

-Flashback-

The two wolf demons were in yet another argument. What it was over this time, putting plastic in the garbage can when it should have been in the recycling bin.

It had went to other subjects before he blurted out, "Just marry me damn it!"

They froze in place instantly and an eerie silence filled the apartment. After five minutes of silence, they quickly embraced each other making-out passionately first then letting things go from there.

-End Flashback-

Kagome laughed a bit feeling slightly better. "Yea, I guess you're right but the thing is that both of you figured out that you were going to be asked sometime. I can't tell around him."

Ayame then said, "Ah, but you forget who you're talking about Kagome. Sesshomaru is a cool and collected kind of guy. You can't tell much of anything from him."

Kagome sighed once more before turning her attention to whatever the limo was passing outside.

They finally made it to the reception and the wedding party walked in the same order they had during the wedding. Everything was going great, everyone was having a great time…everyone except for Kagome. She was jealous she had to admit as she saw Kikyo and Inuyasha dancing together and such.

"Kagome, what's bothering you and don't tell me a lie, I can feel your frustration."

She looked away from him not ready to tell him yet but knowing that she would sometime. She looked at him and said, "Sess-"

"Kagome Higurashi could you please come up to the microphone stand to wish the happy couple luck."

Kagome pouted making Sesshomaru chuckle. "Go on, I'll be here when you get back."

Kagome sighed and stood up making her way to the stage. She stood in front of the mass with a smile. She was really happy for her two friends, she just wished that she could have the same thing.

"What can I honestly say? I know that the two of you will live a long happy life together. I've seen how happy you make each other each time you are around. If I must, I wish you guys all the happiness in the world and congratulations."

Her speech was short but simple and they smiled at her, thanking her for her kind words. She walked back to her seat besides Sesshomaru where he gave her the look to continue finishing what she started.

"Sess, I want to-"

"Sesshomaru Taisho, please come up onto the stage."

Kagome growled at the horrible timing of whoever the announcer was. Sesshomaru silently stood up and walked over to the stage.

"First off, good evening to you all. I would like to wish the newly established Taisho's good luck, especially to you Kikyo. With my pathetic whelp of a half-brother as your husband and mate, you're going to need it."

There was a little laughter and a growl that came out from the audience before he continued.

"I'm honestly proud of you Inuyasha, you've finally done one thing in your life right."

More laughter and another growl followed by a muttered, "Jackass."

"I know that this is your moment but I'm afraid that I will have to steal the spotlight for a few minutes. While the family was preparing for this day…no ever since my little brother made the announcement about the engagement, it had me thinking. What would my future be like and how shall I spend it? Each time that I thought of that, only one answer flashed in my mind."

He then looked over to Kagome and she nearly melted form the intensity of it.

"Kagome…" He purred. "Ever since I realized that you are to be the most important thing in my life, I decided to spend my life with you. We went to school together, live together, do…things together."

At this, there were suggestive growls, whistles, and catcalls in the crowd. Kagome just turned ten different shades of red and sunk down in her seat some.

"We do many things together but it's not enough for me. I wanted to tell you when the time was right and I believe that it is now. Marry me."

THUD

She fainted in front of everyone.

Kagome woke up again an hour or so later back at the condo. She saw Sesshomaru hovering over her with a worried look on his face.

"Are you…" He couldn't continue asking his question since Kagome lunched up at him in a tight embrace and kissed him. After a minute or so, she broke away for air. "…okay." He panted out.

She was panting as well but she nodded and said, "Yea."

He then crawled over her and said, "So Kagome, you've never given me my answer."

She kissed him again and then said, "Yes Sesshomaru, but you should have known that."

He kissed down to her neck before mumbling, "Also, what were you trying to tell me before I had to go up?"

She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him close when it seemed like he was going to get up. "Never mind, talk later, this now."

He smirked at her before getting back to work on their little celebration.


Yup, they're finally getting married, once again, I'm sorry if I'm moving things too fast but I couldn't think of no other way.
