"Thank you for coming," Kagome said, leaning into Inuyasha's side as she watched the last guest walk down the shrine steps. The reception went perfectly, much smoother than the wedding. Everyone had partied to their heart's content, dancing the night away and even indulging in a little bit of sake. One small cup never hurt anyone. Now it was well after midnight, the DJ was packing up his equipment as the cleaning crew packed up the tables and chairs. "Look how beautiful the moon is Inuyasha," Kagome said, pointing up at the sky.
Inuyasha looked up at the full moon shining brightly in the sky. The night sky was filled with starts, not as many as Inuyasha would see in the Feudal Era, but more than he would normally see in Kagome's time. "It looks nice," Inuyasha mumbled, his arm draped comfortably over Kagome's shoulder. "How do your feet feel?" he asked. He recalled seeing Kagome sit down during the party instead of dancing to rub her feet. She tried to get Inuyasha to dance with her, but he would only dance to the slow songs. "Keh, I'm a half demon; I need to have some pride," he had said.
"They still ache a bit," Kagome said, slipping her shoes off. She winced slightly as she settled her weight onto her feet. 'I'm going to regret wearing my heels in the morning,' she thought. 'But they were too cute not to wear.' Kagome gasped as Inuyasha suddenly lifted her, one arm behind her shoulders and the other behind her knees. "Inuyasha, what are you doing?" Kagome asked surprised, the few people outside smiling at the newly wedded couple. They really were a cute sight to behold, Inuyasha proud and serious, Kagome smiling and carefree. You could just see the love between the two of them.
"I'm carrying you inside wench," Inuyasha replied, his gruff tone softened slightly. "You shouldn't be on your feet if they hurt."
"Thank you," Kagome said softly, interlocking her fingers behind Inuyasha's neck. She was always surprised that Inuyasha noticed the small things, nothing escaping his quick demon eyes. He always cared for her so tenderly, making sure he didn't hurt her. She kissed his neck softly, a small smile appearing on his lips.
Inuyasha walked slowly toward Kagome's house; slightly annoyed he couldn't use his speed in front of the strangers. 'Well if I walk slowly, I can hold onto Kagome longer,' he thought, opening the front door and locking it behind him. Not like anyone could attack the house with him there. He'd kill anyone who threatened the house's inhabitants. Inuyasha looked down at Kagome as she giggled softly. "What?" he asked.
"You carried me over the threshold," she said, smiling at him.
"And?"
"It's tradition for the groom to carry the bride into the house for the first time after they're married."
Inuyasha smirked, leaning down to press his lips against hers gently. He walked the steps slowly, trying not to wake the sleeping inhabitants. He entered the familiar bedroom, the smell of Kagome washing over him.
Kagome blushed slightly as Inuyasha set her down on her bed. They had been alone in her room before; Inuyasha had been sleeping in her bed with her for the past few weeks. But now it was different. Now they were married. They were married and alone in her bedroom on their wedding night. The lecture in her health class basically explained everything to her. "Um…I'm going to change," Kagome said quickly, grabbing a small pink bag near her door before rushing out of the room.
Inuyasha sat on the edge of the bed, taking a deep breath. He could feel his heart beating quickly in his chest, nervousness causing it to accelerate. He was going to be alone with Kagome in her bedroom on their wedding night. They weren't mated but at least they were married right his hormones argued. He was not unaware of what normally happened on a couple's wedding night; he didn't even need the lecherous monk's "advice." All the advice in the world couldn't calm his nerves. Inuyasha was a virgin, just like Kagome. Even though he had been attracted to Kikyo while she was alive, he would only have sex with his mate. Inuyasha shook his head, trying to clear his anxiety-filled thoughts. On the bed next to him was a pair of pajama pants and a plain white t-shirt, courtesy of the well-prepared Mrs. Higurashi. 'Might as well change,' Inuyasha thought, getting to his feet. 'At least the shirt will cover my tattoo.'
Kagome sat on the edge of her tub, trying to slow down her pounding heart. 'No reason to be worried Kagome,' she told herself. 'You're just going to have sex for the first time ever, no big deal.' Kagome wasn't afraid of getting pregnant. She had gone on birth control when she first began to hunt jewel shards with Inuyasha; the last thing she needed was to get killer cramps while they were fighting a demon. No, Kagome had the typical female worries: the fear of revealing herself fully for the first time to the man she loved, the fear of not being good in bed and just the normal fear of pain. 'Come on Kagome, it's Inuyasha; everything will be fine,' she told herself, getting off the tub and walking out of the bathroom.
'Where is that wench?' Inuyasha thought nervously. As he was about to rise from the bed, Kagome walked in, closing the door behind her. Inuyasha thought his eyes would fall out as he gazed at Kagome, his mouth hanging open slightly. Kagome wore a light pink silk nightgown that she had bought a few days before the wedding. The nightgown clung to her ever curve, emphasizing her assets. It showed a considerable amount of cleavage, her breast covered in lace and the hem stopped 5 inches above her knee.
"How do I look?" Kagome asked anxiously, crossing her arms over her chest.
Inuyasha swallowed, trying to moisten his now dry throat. "You look beautiful," he said, gazing into her eyes. He got to his feet, watching as Kagome's cheeks flushed with color. He wrapped his arms around her body, pulling her chest against his. 'How am I going to stop?' Inuyasha thought as he kissed Kagome slowly.
