Kagome felt faint. True, she had felt nervous, confused and nauseous for the past week, but this was different. Now, instead of worrying about getting married to Sesshomaru, she had already completed that task. She was nervous now because she would have to live with that decision for the rest of her life.

Slumping against the window of Sesshomaru's car, Kagome closed her eyes and tried to focus on absolutely nothing. The car ride back to his house had become torturously silent, and it wasn't even over yet. Sesshomaru hadn't mentioned his displeasure over her actions yet, and Kagome had decided it would be best if she never mentioned how angry and hurt she felt towards him because of the surprise wedding.

The reception had passed in a blur that Kagome didn't remember. She had excused herself to the bathroom soon after it had started, where Sango met her and they had cried together for a little while. Her first dance with Sesshomaru had lasted all of thirty seconds, and was to the tune of dogs barking.

They danced to a traditional inu-marriage ballad, usually howled during their first night together, but Sesshomaru had opted for it to be the tune of their first dance. By then, Kagome didn't really have enough energy to protest with him, or exhibit any of the backbone she had left. She had been too shocked from the wedding.

During the wedding, Kagome's mind had been occupied with worries about her future and Rin's future to worry about the end of the wedding. It hadn't even occurred to her that western weddings ended with the new couple kissing. So when the minister had stated, "You may now kiss the bride," she was surprised.

Her surprise had barely been able to register in her mind when he took her in his arms and placed a kiss on her lips. And that kiss, though only the barest brushes of lips together, had stunned her yet again.

Kagome blamed her following actions on her day. It had been far too much for any sane human to go through. If getting married to a demon she didn't know in order to save her little sister wasn't enough already, she'd had several shocks and surprises, starting with the dress and ending with just about everything else. So to put it simply, Kagome cracked.

As diplomatically as an angry woman who wanted to save face could, she bit him on the lip. He drew back from her and snarled while she dashed out of the church. When she saw him again at the reception, he had frowned at her and lifted his bruised lip, so she could see the damage that she had done. It was an embarrassing moment for his Inu pride, and Kagome knew it, but she didn't feel guilty.

They arrived at Sesshomaru's mansion and Kagome was led by the imp she had met earlier to her room. Without a second thought, Kagome collapsed on her bed and fell asleep.

So here's a short chapter summing up the rest of Kagome and Sesshomaru's wedding. Pretty rough wedding, right? The next chapter is coming soon, and it's long, so be prepared! Enjoy
