"Sango, I wish you could come through the well for my wedding," Kagome said as she flipped through a bridal magazine. The Inuyasha gang sat beneath the shade of a huge tree, having a picnic lunch. Inuyasha leaned against the trunk of the tree, his eyes closed as Kagome sat next to him, turning through magazines with Sango. Her mother had sent her back to the feudal era with tons of bridal magazines so they could start planning the wedding. Miroku looked occasionally with them while Shippo chased after butterflies.
"I wish I could come too; the weddings in your time look so different," she replied, looking at the poufy wedding dresses in the magazine. "Your clothes are so different too."
"Keh what do you expect; look at the clothes Kagome wears normally," Inuyasha said offhandedly.
"Inuyasha sit," Kagome said, debating what type of wedding dress she would like.
"What was that for wench?" Inuyasha said annoyed as he pulled himself off the ground.
"Hey Inuyasha, look at the mens' clothes," Miroku said, trying to save his best friend. Inuyasha grimaced as he looked at the pale grey suit. "Is this what Inuyasha has to wear Kagome-sama?"
"Well maybe not exactly like that, but something similar," Kagome replied. Inuyasha opened his mouth to say he wasn't gonna wear that, but he knew he would just get sat and have to wear it anyway. He snapped his mouth closed and leaned back against the tree, determined to ignore them. "Sango, you would look amazing in this bridesmaid dress," Kagome said, pointing to a short black and pink dress.
"What's a bridesmaid?" Sango asked curiously.
"A bridesmaid is a close friend or relative of the bride who helps her plan her wedding and get dressed on her wedding day. She makes sure everyone is where they need to be on the day of the wedding and she helps with everything."
"Sounds like a big job," Miroku said, ogling the women in the wedding magazine.
"Oh it is; she's like the female form of the best man. Though the best man has the bigger job of getting the groom to the altar," Kagome replied.
"Sounds like that would be Miroku's job," Inuyasha said.
"What would be my job Kagome?" Shippo asked as he ran over to them.
"Hm, I'm not sure," Kagome said, thinking for a moment. "You would be a ring bearer."
"What do they do?" Shippo asked, wanting to be involved.
"A ring bearer has a super important job; they have to keep the wedding rings safe until the day of the wedding and make sure they're protected. Because if anything happened to the rings, there wouldn't be a wedding," Kagome said, ruffling his hair.
"Kagome, I wanna go to your time," Shippo whined, sitting on her lap.
"Sorry runt, but only I can go to her time," Inuyasha said, secretly proud of his ability to go into Kagome's world.
"Don't worry Shippo, I'll bring back lots of wedding pictures," Kagome promised.
Inuyasha got to his feet suddenly, standing in front of Kagome. "Just when I thought it was gonna be a good afternoon," Inuyasha muttered.
"What do you mean?" Kagome asked, but her question was answered as soon as she saw a whirlwind coming toward the group. 'Koga.' The whirlwind pushed Inuyasha out of the way, kneeling in front of Kagome.
"Hey Kagome," Koga said, kissing Kagome's hand.
"Hello Koga, how have you been?" she replied, gently pulling her hands out of his.
"Way to run me over flea bag!" Inuyasha yelled, getting to his feet.
"Next time don't stand in my way mutt," Koga replied. "And I've been well Kagome. It's mating week so I thought I'd come see my woman."
'Oh crap,' Sango thought, wishing she had her hirakotsu with her as she got to her feet. She watched as Miroku and Inuyasha did the same, getting into their fighting stance. 'Why did he have to come during mating week; it's going to be hell getting him to leave.'
"I'm not your woman Koga," Kagome said, crossing her arms.
"Of course you are Kagome," he replied, his eyes darkening slightly.
"No she's not wolf. She's going to be my woman," Inuyasha said, pulling Kagome to her feet and shielding her with his body.
"What!" Koga yelled. "Tell me he's lying Kagome."
Kagome stuck her left hand out, showing him the engagement ring. "No he's not; Inuyasha and I are getting married in a few weeks."
"You," Koga hissed, standing face to face with Inuyasha, "you stole Kagome away from me."
"I was never yours to steal!" Kagome shouted. "I was flattered by your interest Koga, but I wasn't yours."
"Koga, maybe you should leave," Miroku said, gripping his staff.
"Kagome will be mine," Koga said, punching Inuyasha in the face. Chaos ensued as Inuyasha and Koga began to fight.
"Koga stop it!" Kagome yelled as Inuyasha slashed Koga's arm.
"They won't stop Kagome; they're battling for you," Sango said, standing next to her.
"What? What do you mean?" Kagome asked, her eyes focused on Inuyasha.
"This is the time of year where the wolf demons mate. Since Koga considers you his woman, he came for you to mate. He feels challenged by Inuyasha so he won't give you up without a fight and Inuyasha would never give you up. They might fight to the death," Sango said softly.
Kagome screamed as Inuyasha was kicked into a tree, blood trickling down his forehead. "Inuyasha!" she yelled, running toward him without a thought. She was a few feet away from him when an arm wrapped around her waist, yanking her away from him. "Koga, let me go," Kagome said as she struggled to get out of his grasp.
"Not a chance," Koga said, throwing her over his shoulder. "You're mine now," he said as he ran off.
"Inuyasha, Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted, looking at his unconscious body before she was knocked out.
*insert dramatic music here* Kagome's been kidnapped by Koga, Inuyasha's been knocked unconscious, what's gonna happen next? Will Inuyasha save her in time or will the entire wedding be thrown off course by one wolf demon's crazy mating instinct? Thoughts/comments/reviews are appreciated
