When a demon is challenged by another for the mate he has claimed, the two demons fight to the death for the female. As much as Inuyasha wanted to rip Hojo apart for interrupting his and Kagome's wedding, he had to constantly remind himself that Kagome would be very upset if he killed someone twenty feet away from where they were supposed to be married. Still, that did not stop Inuyasha from gripping the Tetsusaiga tightly, imagining the different moves he could use on Hojo. 'I knew that Hobo guy was nothing but trouble,' he thought angrily. 'He's interrupting our wedding damnit!'

"Never thought Hojo would object," Ayumi whispered to her friends.

"Are you kidding? Hojo's been crazy about Kagome forever; I would have been more surprised if he didn't say something," Eri replied.

"But Inuyasha doesn't look too happy about this," Yuka said, glancing at the barely restrained groom. The other two girls looked at Inuyasha being held back by Kagome. 'This won't end well for Hojo,' the three girls thought.

'I've performed hundreds of weddings but I think this is the first time someone has actually objected. I didn't think people would actually do that,' the justice of the peace thought.

'Inuyasha is gonna totally shred Hojo,' Sota thought, looking back and forth between his almost brother-in-law and Hojo. Sota almost felt bad for Hojo; he had absolutely no idea what kind of fight he had just walked into. Inuyasha was incredibly protective of Kagome.

"Oh my," Mrs. Higurashi gasped. "This is not going to end well." While Mrs. Higurashi had planned every detail of the wedding, she hadn't planned on someone objecting at her daughter's wedding.

"Hojo what are you doing here?" Kagome asked, confused. She couldn't understand why Hojo was here. She had sent him a wedding invitation, but she never got a response from him. So why was he here, dressed in a suit objecting at her wedding?

"I'm here to stop you from getting married to Inuyasha," Hojo replied, walking toward the guests.

Inuyasha stepped in front of Kagome as Hojo stepped onto the white carpet, walking toward the couple. "Stay right where you are," Inuyasha growled, purple stripes slowly appearing on his cheeks. "Don't come near Kagome."

"See Kagome, this is why I'm stopping the wedding," Hojo shouted.

"Hojo, what on earth are you talking about?" she asked, holding tightly to Inuyasha's arm. She knew he could throw her off in a split second if he wanted to, but she was glad he was attempting to restrain himself.

"He's smothering you! He's too protective and restrictive; he doesn't let you do anything." Hojo took another step forward as Inuyasha's claws lengthened.

Inuyasha was trying hard to stop his demon transformation, but his demon blood did not like the threat Hojo presented. 'Protect mate. My mate,' his inner demon growled, as he felt Kagome's fingers clinging to his arm.

"Hojo, you've got it all wrong; Inuyasha's absolutely perfect for me," Kagome said, taking a step forward as Inuyasha's arm blocked her. He wasn't going to let her get anywhere near him.

"But Kagome I…I love you," Hojo said, his cheeks turning red.

Kagome's eyes widened with surprise. Out of all the things she thought Hojo might say this wasn't on the list. 'Now what do I do?' she thought.

Inuyasha flexed his claws, trying to restrain his demon side. He couldn't blame Hojo for falling in love with Kagome; she was absolutely perfect. She was smart and beautiful, kind and loving, she was the most amazing person he had ever met in his life. But that didn't mean he was going to let Hojo steal Kagome away from him. "Listen Hobo," he growled, glaring at the boy, "I'm going to give you two options. Either you can walk away now and never come near my Kagome again or I can throw you down the stairs and break your legs if you ever come near Kagome again. Pick your faith."

Hojo tugged at the collar of his shirt, swallowing worriedly. This was not how he planned on things going; although he wasn't sure exactly what he thought would occur. He had met Kagome's fiancé previously, but at the time he wasn't her fiancé or even her boyfriend. He thought he could confess his love to Kagome and maybe she wouldn't marry Inuyasha. Clearly Inuyasha had brain washed Kagome. "Inuyasha doesn't love you Kagome," Hojo shouted, hoping it would break whatever spell she was under.

Inuyasha's eyes turned red in anger, his full demon coming out. 'How dare he say I don't love Kagome. Who is he to question my love for Kagome,' Inuyasha thought, his blood boiling with anger. Before he could attack Hojo, Kagome shouted.

"YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING HOJO!" Kagome screamed, her voice nearly cracking. "You know nothing about Inuyasha and me; how can you say he doesn't love me! Inuyasha loves me very much and I want you to leave here NOW!"

Hojo took a step back, frightened by Kagome's shouting. "Kagome, I-"

"I SAID LEAVE NOW HOJO!" she yelled, her eyes filling with angry tears. Inuyasha's eyes began to fade back to their half-demon amber, his inner demon aware that his mate could handle herself at the moment. He watched with pride as Hojo took a few steps backward before turning around and walking down the stairs. "Keh, he better run," Inuyasha muttered, wrapping his arm around Kagome's waist.

"Some kinda wedding," Kagome replied, leaning her head against his shoulder. Her anger slowly began to fade as she relaxed against Inuyasha's side. "And here I thought everything was going to be perfect."

"Ahem," the justice of the peace said, clearing his throat. "If we're done with the interruptions, we can continue with the ceremony." Inuyasha and Kagome smiled as everyone faced forward, their attention refocused on the wedding. "Now do you, Kagome, take Inuyasha to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?"

Kagome smiled, looking into Inuyasha's eyes. Those were the eyes she wanted to spend the rest of her life staring into, the eyes she wanted to see every morning when she woke up and every night when she went to sleep. "I do," Kagome said as she slid a simple gold finger onto Inuyasha's fingers.

"And do you, Inuyasha, take Kagome to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?" the justice of the peace asked, turning toward Inuyasha.

Inuyasha had to admit he liked the human vows. They were nothing compared to the inu-demon vows, but he liked the idea of being by Kagome's side no matter what the world threw at them. From this moment on Kagome would always be his and he would always be hers. "I do," he said with his trademark smirk, placing the gold ring on her finger above the engagement ring he had given her.

"Then by the power vested in me by the city of Tokyo, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride!" the justice of the peace exclaimed.

Inuyasha smiled, an absolutely heart-breakingly perfect smile, as he wrapped his arms around Kagome, pulling her body against his as he kissed her deeply. The guests began to applaud, Mrs. Higurashi wiping her tears, as the happy couple kissed.

"I love you Kagome," Inuyasha whispered against her lips.

"I love you too Inuyasha," Kagome replied, kissing him again.
