Warning: Kagome and Inuyasha get a little...steamy in this chapter. You've been warned lol

16 Days until the wedding…

"Why do I need new clothes," Inuyasha complained as he walked down the street with Kagome, Mrs. Higurashi and Sota. "Didn't you tell your weird friends that the wedding theme was the Feudal Era?" Inuyasha wasn't quite sure what a theme was, but he didn't care as long as he didn't have to cover his ears at the wedding.

Kagome sighed as they crossed the street. Inuyasha hated when he had to wear modern clothing; if Kagome gave him the chance he would just wear his fire rat robe to the wedding. "Because it's tradition Inuyasha. At a wedding, all the guys have to dress up and wear suits just like all the girls have to wear dresses."

"Keh then where's your dress?" That was a very good question. The wedding was just around the corner and she didn't have a dress yet. She spent so much time in the feudal era that the thought just slipped her mind. She just hoped she could find a dress she liked on such short notice. "There's the store," Mrs. Higurashi said, pointing to the store near the corner of the block. Inuyasha winced, looking at the headless mannequins that stood in the window.

'This does not seem like a happy place,' Inuyasha thought as Kagome tugged him inside.

"Don't worry Inuyasha; it won't be that bad," Sota said, trying to reassure him. "Hopefully it won't take too long."

Inuyasha just hoped he didn't end up like the headless guys in the window if he pissed Kagome off.

"Which jacket do you like more?" Kagome asked, holding up what Inuyasha thought were two identical jackets.

"What's the difference?" he asked gruffly. After spending over an hour in the overly warm tuxedo shop, all Inuyasha wanted to do was leave. He thought he had been very patient through the whole ordeal: listening to Kagome debate between a black or dark blue suit, her asking him to choose between a bow tie and a regular one, her talking to herself as she wondered what kind of shoes Inuyasha would need. But his patience was wearing thin.

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha's annoyed expression, knowing he was growing weary of the whole shopping experience. She doubted she would ever be able to make him go shopping with her again. "You know what, I think I'll just choose," Kagome said. "I think we're almost done." Inuyasha sighed with relief, happy the shopping madness was almost over. "You just have to try on some clothes."

Inuyasha's ears drooped beneath his usual baseball cap. He did not want to try on more weird modern clothing. "Do I have to?" Inuyasha asked, his annoyance seeping into his voice.

"Well if you don't try them on now and we take them home and they don't fit right, we'll have to come back to the store," Kagome said innocently. Inuyasha balked at the thought of having to come back to the store. Muttering a few choice curses about stupid human women and their ridiculous modern clothes, Inuyasha marched to the changing stall that Kagome had pointed out.

Inuyasha cursed as he entered the changing stall, dumping the clothes Kagome had given him on the bench. 'How am I supposed to change in here?' he thought, pulling his shirt off. 'This stupid room is barely wide enough to move my arms.' The whole shopping trip left Inuyasha tired and irritable. Every time it seemed as if he was getting used to Kagome's world, something new happened that turned him on his head. Always new people, new ideas, new customs, how was he ever supposed to fit in with her? Inuyasha sighed as he put on the black dress pants Kagome had given him. 'At least the clothes fits properly; we won't have to come back.' While the pants were easy enough of him to handle, the shirt was a completely different story. His fire rat robe he knew to put on, the weird modern t-shirts that Kagome's mom gave him he understood, but this shirt was a bit more difficult. He knew buttons weren't difficult to handle but his claws were constantly getting in the way. Inuyasha was tempted to just shred the stupid white shirt but Kagome would sit him for that. "Kagome how do I button this stupid shirt?" Inuyasha said angrily as he threw open the changing room curtain.

Kagome's eyes widened at the sight of Inuyasha. While she wanted to drool over Inuyasha's bare chest and amazing muscles, her eyes were more fixated on Inuyasha's dog-ears that were no longer covered. "Inuyasha!" Kagome whispered fiercely, pushing him in the dressing room and pulling the curtain shut behind you. She was nearly pressed against his chest because of how small the room was; her hands rested on Inuyasha's shoulders to avoid being sandwiched between them. "What were you thinking coming out of the room without your hat on?"

Inuyasha patted his head, feeling for his hat. "Oh must have fallen off when I took my shirt off," he muttered. "How do I button this stupid shirt; my claws are going to tear it apart."

"I'll help you," Kagome said, using this as an excuse to stare at his well-toned muscles.

Inuyasha closed his eyes as he felt Kagome's feather light touch trail over his skin as she buttoned his shirt. Kagome's vanilla scent began to overwhelm him, sending his senses wild.

"Inuyasha," Kagome gasped as she looked up at him. Purple streaks crossed his cheeks, a clear sign of him changing into a full demon. Inuyasha opened his eyes slowly, looking down at Kagome. His amber eyes were encircled with red, as if his demon transformation ceased halfway.

"Kagome," he said breathlessly as he leaned down toward her, kissing her hungrily. Kagome struggled to focus as Inuyasha kissed her passionately. Her arms wrapped around his neck, her fingers threading into his hair as he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her against him. He began to kiss down her neck slowly, nipping at her gently.

"Inuyasha, Kagome, where are you?" Mrs. Higurashi called from outside of the changing rooms. Her voice seemed to bring them back to their senses, Inuyasha's eyes fading back to their normal color as he pulled away from Kagome.

Kagome struggled to catch her breath before she walked out of the changing room, her heart racing. "We're here Mama," Kagome said, pulling Inuyasha out of the dressing room.

"Inuyasha, you look so handsome!" Mrs. Higurashi said happily. "This is the perfect suit for you and I found a suit for Sota."

"Then I guess we're all done," Kagome said with a smile. "You can go change while we pay for everything Inuyasha."

"Inuyasha, why don't you and Sota head home while Kagome and I do a little more shopping?" Mrs. Higurashi said as they left the store.

"Why?" Inuyasha asked. He didn't want to do anymore shopping, but he also didn't want to be separated from Kagome.

"Kagome and I need to go shopping for a wedding dress and it's bad luck for the groom to see the wedding dress before the wedding. So you two need to go home."

"Keh fine," Inuyasha said, kissing Kagome quickly before walking a way with Sota, an action that even surprised him.

Kagome's eyes shone with happiness at Inuyasha's kiss. "Mama, where are we going to find a wedding dress so close to the wedding?"

"An old high school friend of mine owns a wedding salon and I had her save a few dresses for you. You don't think I forgot, did you?" Mrs. Higurashi said with a smile. "Trust me I have a plan."

Hmm i wonder what Kagome's dress is gonna look like *devilish grin* i've actually picked it out alreadyy. Word is spreading about the upcoming wedding but is everyone so happy about it? or will there be a new road block?
