Inuyasha scooped Kagome into his arms as the guests cheered, Kagome laughing happily as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Her bow fell to the floor as her fingers threaded through Inuyasha's hair. 'We did it. We've finally did it; we've finally gotten here,' she thought in amazement. After all the problems and conflicts, the people floating in and out of their lives, the fights and tears they finally made it. They were finally married.
Inuyasha felt like cheering as the wedding guests began to swarm them, offering their congratulations. Kagome was finally his and he was finally Kagome's. Nothing and no one would ever tear them apart. Inuyasha set Kagome back on her feet carefully as Mrs. Higurashi came forward to hug them.
"Congratulations both of you," she said, hugging them tightly. "I'm happy for you two; you better get started on my grandkids." Inuyasha and Kagome blushed deeply as they greeted the line of well-wishers, glancing at each other out of the corner of their eyes.
"Kagome, Inuyasha congratulations," Eri said, hugging Kagome and even giving Inuyasha a quick one-armed hug. "That was one hell of a wedding."
"I didn't think Hojo would have shown up," Ayumi said.
"I thought he might show up," Yuka replied. "But I didn't think he would make such a scene. I mean it is your wedding day; he should have been more respectful."
"He shouldn't have come at all if he had such an issue with Kagome and Inuyasha getting married," Ayumi said.
Kagome felt Inuyasha's hand grip hers gently, causing her to look up at him. His eyes were rimmed with red, the muscles in his jaw tense as he ground his teeth. "You guys I'll talk to you later; we still have a lot of people we need to say hello to," Kagome said quickly, hoping Inuyasha would calm down.
"Alright Kagome, we'll see you guys later at the reception," Eri said as the three girls walked away.
Kagome sighed in relief as she watched her friends go, leaning into Inuyasha's side as she spoke to the other guests. His eyes faded back to their normal amber as they continued speaking to people, though Kagome could sense Inuyasha's annoyance at having to speak to everyone. Finally the last guest left after congratulating the happy couple, promising to return for the evening reception.
"Finally," Kagome sighed happily, slipping her heels off her feet. "Inuyasha, are you hun-" Kagome's words were cut off as Inuyasha pulled her in for a heated kiss. Kagome got goosebumps as Inuyasha trailed his claws slowly down her bare back. She moaned softly into his lips, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling him closer.
Inuyasha's eyes opened quickly, his hand going to his sword as he saw a flash behind his eyelid. A photographer snapped a picture of the couple in a steamy kiss, a blush covering Kagome's cheeks. "What do you think you're doing?" Inuyasha growled at the man.
"M-mrs. Higurashi hired me to take w-wedding photos," the man stuttered, immensely afraid of Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, he's going to take pictures so we can have a wedding album like Mom has," Kagome said, placing her hand on his arm. "Didn't you notice him taking pictures during the ceremony?"
"No," Inuyasha muttered. To be honest Inuyasha wouldn't have noticed if the moon fell out of the sky; he was that focused on Kagome as she walked down the aisle.
"How would you like us to pose?" Kagome asked the photographer.
The photographer took them through the standard wedding poses that every couple takes. Inuyasha standing behind Kagome with his arms wrapped around her waist. Kagome looking up at Inuyasha, smiling. The happy couple kissing. They even took pictures with her family. Kagome alone with her family. Inuyasha and her entire family. There was even a picture of Inuyasha holding Sota upside down. (A/N: my little brother and my brother-in-law took a wedding picture like that lol) As the mini-photo shoot continued Inuyasha began to take off his uncomfortable clothing. First he took off his suit jacket. Then he took off his tie. Finally he rolled up the sleeves of his button down shirt. As handsome as Inuyasha looked in his suit, she thought he looked even more amazing now.
"Hey Inuyasha," Kagome called.
"Yeah," he replied, turning toward her.
Kagome gently grasped his unbuttoned collar, pulling him down for a kiss. "Just wanted to do that," she said with a mischievous smile.
"You're driving me crazy wench," Inuyasha said breathlessly as he wrapped his arms around Kagome's waist and leapt into the Goshinboku.
"Inuyasha!"Kagome cried.
"Don't worry; the picture guy went inside," he said, slowly kissing up and down her neck.
Kagome closed her eyes slowly, letting the feeling of Inuyasha's soft lips moving against her skin take over all her senses. She was perfectly content to sit in the tree with Inuyasha all afternoon.
"Kagome? Inuyasha?" the photographer called as he walked out of the house, looking around for them.
"They're in the tree," Sota replied, pointing at them sitting on a branch.
"How many more pictures do we have to take Kagome?" Inuyasha groaned.
"Not too many more, I promise," Kagome replied. "Do you want us to come down?" she asked the photographer.
"No, no, I want to take a picture of the two of you up there. You guys look perfect," he answered.
Inuyasha helped her shift through different pose as they sat on the tree branch. Inuyasha knew these would be his favorite pictures out of the million that they had taken that day. Suddenly Kagome shifted, sliding off the tree branch. Inuyasha leaned forward quickly, his arms wrapping her waist as the photographer snapped one last picture of Kagome smiling up at Inuyasha.
"I think we have enough pictures for now," the photographer said as Inuyasha and Kagome approached him. "I'll just take some reception pictures later tonight," he said, leaving.
"Inuyasha, Kagome time for food," Mrs. Higurashi called from the house. "You're going to need your energy for the rest of the evening."
"I guess we have a long night ahead of us," Kagome said with a wink as she walked toward the house, Inuyasha watching the sway of her hips as he followed her.
Things are getting steamy between Kagome and Inuyasha but it's not time for the honeymoon yet; they still have a reception and another wedding. Doesnt mean they won't be sneaking around? What else could happen to them...?
