And to snatch back
The marriage was pretty standard as marriages go. She did want a huge party where a huge fuss was made out of two normal being joining together under the Kamis. Everybody who was interested was there, her mother, grandfather and Souta in the front row while Yamazaki stood at the front, waiting. Hiroki bowed before extending his arm for her to take, and he looked dashing in a suit, all males look so handsome when dressed formally and in uniforms, he was no exception. Lord Sesshoumaru, the best man, had donned a traditional white garb, though had graciously made sure it neither outshone the wedding dress nor was more white.
Touga had decided to come to the wedding and he sat in the front row where the rest of the special guests were, but the smile he wore was faked. Inuyasha and Hiroki sat either side of him as a sort of restraint should the need arise. Sango and Miroku's descendants filled the pews behind. Kikyou gave her a smile as she and Hiroki passed her and Rin gave her the thumbs up as Hiroki let go of her with a little squeeze as if he was actually sad to be giving her away. Her already teary mother mouthed a 'good luck' and 'I love you' while Shippou just whispered to her to 'say yes' in a joking but serious manner, and then she was there, standing next to her mate and husband to be while the priest read out the marriage vows.
The 'I do's' were met with applause but she disregarded them when Yamazaki's lips met hers with a crushing force, making her melt into his arms as he always did. From then on it was just a rush of smiles and kisses and photos and it must have been the adrenaline keeping her going because she did not feel tired once, even when they were all carted off to the Western mansion for the dancing. That too became a blur of arms offered her way. Of course she danced all the slow songs with Yamazaki but Touga was always the first in line after that. Eventually she managed to push him onto her mother who was without a partner, and he must have gotten the message because they stayed together the rest of the evening.
She danced with her mother too, and Souta and her grandfather, they all wanted a go. She also danced with Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru and the little Mirokus with their little cursed hands. Eventually she found herself in the arms of the cat who gave her away. He twirled her around the dance floor as expertly as he danced in the dojo, just not quite as forceful. "You know it was hard for me to give you away," he mentioned as he dipped her so low her long black tresses swept the floor. "I just wanted to keep you." He pressed a feather light kiss to her lips as the song ended, "don't abandon us now, little cricket, and take care."
