Okay, so I lied. The chapters aren't updating like BAM! But that's because I made my sister mad and she wouldn't let me use her laptop for the longest time! I was going nuts! . (my laptop broke ) Then once she thought I was tortured enough she let me use it and I had to rewrite the first two pages over and over. (just couldn't get it right.) But no more worries it's here! …...finally. Anyways, read, REVIEW, and enjoy!

That special part of today was so close; Rin could hardly believe it. If Sesshomaru had never came over to her to assist her on the day of the talent show they would have never met. She was so grateful. She was now marrying the man of her dreams. Usually that never happened in life. The perfect people you find in your life seem to be the ones you never get to keep for yourself. Why was she so lucky? Rin couldn't be any more excited. She squealed and ran to her and Sesshomaru's master bedroom. Sesshomaru had bought Rin her dream house with an ocean view as a wedding gift. He wanted a more luxurious mansion but Rin said this was to her perfection. Rin always wanted a small but yet cozy house where she could find herself in the kitchen cooking up a storm while her pups were running around chasing each other...

Rin leaped in mid air and landed right next to her fiance who was still sound asleep. (alright normally the groom doesn't see the bride until the wedding but this is Sesshomaru we're talking about and he don't like following other people's rules! ) She rolled over onto his back and smiled as she watched him sleep. He looked like a god in the morning sun. It amazed her that he was immune to bed head. Rin ran her fingers down his long straight hair and just lied there. She wasn't one to just stay in bed all day if she could. She would much rather take a walk in the park or go to the library. Anything but stay boxed up in her home. Sesshomaru's nose made the tiniest twitch making her giggle. Her enticing scent helped him stir from his deep slumber.

"Good morning sleeping beauty." Rin said giving him a peck on the shoulder. Sesshomaru flipped the two of them over and held her close to him; again closing his eyes. "Hey! We have somewhere to go later. No going back to sleep!" Even if it was only six o' clock in the morning, Rin couldn't wait to start getting ready for the wedding.

Sesshomaru groaned into his silk pillow and sighed. "Allow me to rest a while longer..."

Rin sat up now and crossed her arms. "Is this how you're going to act when we have pups and they beg for daddy's attention?"

Sesshomaru's eyes grew twice in size. 'Daddy's attention?'

"Of course not! It's that meeting yesterday; I grew tired of all that yelling I had to do."

Rin lied back down and snuggled into her mates arms. "Awe. You work too hard. I'd bet you'd make a good librarian. They stay in a quiet surrounding all day. Plus you would make a very sexy librarian." Rin said daydreaming.

Ignoring Rin's strange fantasies, Sesshomaru shook his head. "Something tells me the library is not as quiet as everyone makes it out to be. Plus if you wanted me to be a librarian we wouldn't be able to live in your dream house."

"That's 'cause you are spending money on two houses." Rin said rolling her eyes.

"Oh I see you found out about that did you?"

"Sesshy, I told you already, we don't need a big mansion to live in."

"Let me handle it alright? I know what I'm doing."

"Yeah, yeah."

"It's just a few hours away..." Sesshomaru pointed out taking Rin's delicate hand into his grasp.

"Finally." She whispered as she closed her eyes. " I guess we can sleep in a little longer..."

Kagome rode with her mother, Sango, Izayoi, and Sango's mother to the hospital. Mrs. Higurashi parked the car in front of the hospital's entrance doors and signaled Kagome to get out.

"I'll go find a parking space and drive up to you guys when you're ready."

"Alright." Kagome smiled and made her way into the hospital. Kagome came to pick up Kagura who was going to be apart of the wedding today. All of the girls were going to get ready together. They started early so in case things didn't go as planned they would have extra time to fix anything. She wondered what it was like for a hanyou or youkai to come into hospitals. Their sense of smell was incredible. Would they be able to smell the aroma of death and disease lingering in the air of a hospital? Kagome scrunched up her nose and shook the thought away. That would be torture having to smell everything here. Kagome waited patiently in line at the front desk and glanced at all the people in the waiting room. A small girl was in a wheel chair with a wounded knee leaking blood down her leg. Obviously she was going to need stitches. Her face looked as though she'd just finished crying. Another girl that was sitting right next to her looked more ill. Her body was shaking as she stared at the bucket beside her. Poor thing must have been dealing with nausea. Last one in the room was a teenager who clutched her stomach painfully. Kagome found the hospital to be a rather interesting place. You never knew what new disease would rush through the doors. She had even considered majoring in the medical field when she was asked what she wanted to be in elementary school but changed her mind when her mother told her nurses did way more than wrap bandages around paper cuts.

"Excuse me? Next!" The nurse called out to Kagome who must have been in a daze.

"Oh! I'm sorry. I'm here to pick up Kaze; Kagura. The release papers were already filled out by her last night and she gave me permission to take her until this evening."

The nurse typed in Kagura's name into the system to see if what Kagome was saying was true. If Kagura wanted to leave the doctors had no right into making her stay as long as the paper work was completed. After all, she was an adult.

"I see. Kagura is located in room 137. Walk straight down to the elevators and go to the 3rd floor. After that make a left and walk down the hall. The door should be on your right."

"Thank you so much."

"You're welcome."

Kagome opened the double doors to where the patients were being treated. She walked up to the elevators and climbed aboard. There was a doctor inside with her that looked awfully familiar. It was on the tip of her tongue...

"You look familiar to me." The doctor said to her in a calm voice not sparring her a glance.

"Strange. I was thinking the same thing about you."

The doctor laughed and leaned against the rail. Kagome and the doctor both heard his walkie talkie crackle to life silencing their laughter.

"Doctor Bongolan? We've got a patient here who requires immediate attention. Five year old stuck a marble up her nose and it's stuck. Mother is worried it will travel up further."

"Oh jeez." He said shaking his head. "Don't five-year-olds have anything better to do?" He joked and pressed the red button to speak. "I'll be there in a minute."

"Doctor Bongolan? Hey weren't you the one that helped Izayoi Taisho?" Kagome asked.

"I do help quite a lot of people but if I remember correctly, yes. That was years ago."

"I know. Anyways, I used to come visit with her son InuYasha."

"Ah! I see. How are they both?"

By now the elevators had opened and Dr. Bongolan decided to walk with Kagome where ever she was heading.

"Both good. His half brother's wedding is later on today. We have a few hours to get ready."

"Well tell him I said congratulations." He smiled. " I should be heading to that five year old now. Take care."

"Bye."

Kagome rounded the corner to her left and found Kagura's room. The door was open so she expected it was alright to walk in. Two nurse's were currently getting Kagura ready to leave. They were all laughing together.

Kagome also recognized one of the nurses. Wasn't that Dr. Bongolan's wife? Kagura finally noticed Kagome's presence and welcomed her in.

"Hi Kagome."

It broke Kagome's heart to see Kagura like this. Her skin was so pale now and her smile was hiding the deep sorrow within her. Kagome honestly thought that if she was in her place she wouldn't be able to give Sesshomaru to Rin.

Kagura got up from the hospital bed and hesitantly gave Kagome a hug. "These are my nurses, Dr. Shew and Dr. Syo."

"Hi." Kagome waved. 'Whoa, whoa, whoa wait! So let me see if I can put the puzzle pieces together correctly. Dr. Bongolan was proposed to Dr. Phoumiphat during Izayoi's arsenic poisoning. Nurse who used her first name now suddenly has a last name. Must of got that husband she always wanted. Dr. Phoumiphat must have called off the wedding and met a new doctor, Dr. Shew. Oooh! Now I get it.' "Holy s-"

Then as if on cue, mister Dr. Shew came into the room for clarification. "Has Kagura's ride came yet? Oh! There you are." He smiled.

"Yes we were just leaving."

"Alright."

"Enjoy your evening!" They all said.

'What is this a hospital themed soap opera!'

"Let's get outta here."

After they picked up Kagura they went to go get Sesshomaru's bride to be, Rin. Together all the girls went to Tokyo's most visited bath house.

Izayoi payed for everyone's locker where they put their clothes. With each towel wrapped around their bodies securely they walked out of the locker room and made their way to the private bath they booked.

Small children were running around naked being chased by their mothers. They never handled the bath houses well. Izayoi opened the fusuma revealing the beautiful bath filled with steaming water just calling them. The girls stared at the scenery of the private room in awe. They all wasted no time in dropping there towels and rushing to the wet area picking a stool to sit on.

"Well Rin? You excited?" Sango asked scrubbing shampoo in her hair.

"Very! I can't wait."

"I don't know if you've told before but were you guys going to go anywhere for your honeymoon?" Mrs. Higurashi asked scrubbing her legs with a sponge.

"He...he told me it was a surprise." Rin blushed. "So I have no idea."

The girls squealed and cheered for Rin.

"You guys going to work on building me a grand baby?" Izayoi asked nonchalantly spraying her stunning goddess-like body with water. "Just..wondering."

"Eh..." Rin said looking away scratching the back of her head. "Maybe?"

Again all the girls gave out a squeal.

Izayoi was just teasing and gave Rin a wink.

"So how exactly are we going to do your hair Rin?" Izayoi asked grasping Rin's shoulders.

"We're all going to the salon after this. I'm sure she'll know by then." Mrs. Higurashi stated when Rin was too busy stressing out on how exactly she was going to get her hair styled.

"Hey, maybe we can get InuYasha to style your hair. I've heard he's professional." Kagome joked. The girls shared a laugh at the mere image. Surely if they asked him he wasn't going to turn them down. After all, this was the woman marrying his brother.

Once the girls had finished scrubbing their bodies from top to bottom they dipped into the awaiting bath water.

"Ahhh..." They sighed peacefully once relaxed.

Sango swam over to where Kagome was and smiled. "Are you bringing a date to the wedding?"

Kagome frowned and swished the water around her with her hand. "Nope. What about you?"

"Miroku willing said he would go with me." Sango couldn't keep from smiling at that.

"The 'Shango' stalker is accompanying you at the wedding?"

"Yep."

"Aw Sango! Why am I still single!" She wailed. "There must be something wrong with me!"

"Because your man is currently taken so you have to wait. Nothing is wrong with you. Destiny is just being slow."

"eh!"

" Everyone knows you two love each other but yourselves." Sango said sinking her way further into the water until her nose was the closest thing to dipping next.

"I know he loves me...just not romantically."

"Believe what you want." She said with a wave of her hand in dismissal.

"Rin's having a western styled wedding right? Why is that?" Kagome wanted to know.

"Well, Sesshomaru wanted to keep it traditional but once we explained thoroughly what was to take place Rin freaked out and decided a western styled wedding would be less stressful and confusing. Plus she didn't want to where the kimono required for the event. Besides, most weddings in Japan are different depending on religion. "

"Did Sesshomaru claim her yet?" Kagome asked trying to get a glance at Rin's neck. Usually when a youkai decided on a mate they would mark them with a bite on the neck. After this was done, Rin would age just as slowly as Sesshomaru did. Hanyous however had an inner demon that usually pointed them into the direction of their soul mates. If you did not mate with your soul mate however, the ritual was cursed!

"There is no sense in whispering about me when I'm only a few feet away from you Kagome and Sango." Rin sang.

The girls blushed and faced towards her.

"He's claiming me tonight." Rin smirked.

All the girls squealed again for the third time and giggled amongst themselves.

Before they started to get shriveled fingertips the girls left the bath in a very excellent mood. Kagome was impressed that no one was stressing out yet. She supposed it was a good idea to start getting ready hours before the wedding. She felt bad for the brides that had to put their makeup on while they were on their way to the church! Once they were dry they put their clothes back on and handed in their towels and sponges at the entrance. Before they knew it they were on the way to the salon.

Jakotsu welcome them with a bright smile. "I've been expecting you. Rin congratulations!"

"Thanks." She smiled.

"You're welcome." He winked then looked over at Izayoi. "Alright Yura will take Rin's hair to style. The rest of you ladies may choose anyone here to do your hair."

Yura made her appearance at the front of the salon and flipped her hair. "Where's the bride?"

Rin raised her hand and stepped towards Yura. Yura inspected the girl from all angles and rested her hand on her chin. "Such a fragile thing." She picked up some of Rin's hair in the back and examined it. "With split ends."

"Hey!" Rin yelled offended and snatched her hair away from Yura.

"I'm only joking. What would you like to do with your hair?"

"Um...possibly curled? I've never curled my hair before so I don't know if it'll look good."

"Yura will make it look good no matter what." she promised.

"If you say so." She shrugged and followed her to her working station. As Yura worked all through Rin's thick hair, two girls were giving her a manicure and pedicure.

Kagura sighed as she stared at Jakotsu working on making her nails look beautiful. He noticed the look on her face and rubbed her hand with his thumb. "You okay?"

"Yeah." She answered some what unsure of her answer. Jakotsu noticed she was looking an awful lot at all the girls with long hair.

Jakotsu got up and offered his hand. "Come on. I think I can help."

"Huh?"

Jakotsu placed Kagura at his work station and ran to the back. "Don't move or I'll have to murder you." Jakotsu playfully warned.

It wasn't long before he came back with a long wavy black haired wig. He presented it to her and ran his fingers through the strands of hair. "Would you be willing to wear this, this particular evening? No charge."

"What do you mean no charge? Those cost...well lots."

" I was only being nice. You could take it or leave it." He smiled.

"You're too nice..." Kagura thought this was the sweetest thing in the world. "Thank you."

It only took a few hours before all the ladies were done with their hair and nails. Most decided to curl their hair for the occasion or place it up in a bun. They all stared in awe at Kagura with the wig on. She looked exactly how she did before she found out about her cancer...truly beautiful. They waved farewell to Yura and Jakotsu and thanked them for all their help. The girls rushed to get their dresses and decided to get dressed at the church. Time seemed to fly right past them.

InuYasha stretched his arms above his head as he looked at himself in the mirror. ( Hey look! InuYasha's in this chapter! :D ) "Yep, I hate this tux." He concluded and fixed the cuffs on his wrists. "Wait, there's a simple solution." InuYasha unbuttoned all of the buttons on his suit and shrugged it off his shoulders. "Much better." he scratched his head with a yawn and sat on his bed. He was drowsy due to his failure on falling asleep on time.

InuTaisho came into the room and noticed InuYasha wasn't ready. "InuYasha stop acting like a pup and put your shirt back on! Or I'll have Nozomi come a dress you like she did ten years ago!"

"Don't tempt the hormonal teenage boy." Sesshomaru said walking into the room with his tuxedo perfectly put on.

InuYasha spotted the gloves on Sesshomaru's hands. He bit his tongue to keep from laughing.

"What up with the gloves?"

"Wedding ceremonial purposes."

"Alright then." InuYasha looked away and wondered why he got stuck with the weirdo as a brother.

"Don't worry little brother. You have a pair too." He said tossing two gloves on top of InuYasha's head.

"You're kidding right?" InuYasha said holding up the gloves. They were custom made for youkai with long claws. It looked pretty stupid to InuYasha. Sesshomaru showed no facial expression. He looked over to his dad and practically whined. "Dad, please tell me he's kidding."

"He's not. You can take them off once we are at the reception."

InuYasha squinted his eyes at Sesshomaru; tilting a bit to see the back of his head.

"His hair is tied back loosely with a ribbon..." InuYasha said stating the obvious. "I need to go outside."

Mrs. Higurashi and Izayoi both helped Rin into her poofy wedding dress as she stood tall in the dressing room at the church. The dress was beautifully designed with a pale orange outline. The dress gave her a full female figure but showed little if any cleavage. Rin didn't want to risk having Sesshomaru catch any man staring at her and beat him to his death. He told her time and time again; she was for his eyes only. Izayoi expertly tied up the crossed lace in the back to tighten the dress around her torso. Sango's mother lifted the dress a little allowing Kagome to help put on Rin's heels. Sango placed the lengthy veil on top of Rin's head and flung the thin fabric over her face. Mrs. Higurashi handed Rin her bouquet of daisies and stepped back. She looked perfect.

"Oh wait! My gloves.." Rin bent over and picked up her white laced gloves off the floor and slipped them on. " There! Now I'm perfect!"

"Are you nervous?" Sango asked.

"Not at all surprisingly."

"Perfect because it's almost show time girl."

"Let's do this."

Relatives of the groom and friends of the bride both filled the seats in the church. Miroku's dad would act as the priest for today. He flipped through his bible while he waited for everyone to be seated. Sesshomaru fixed his tie walking down the aisle. InuYasha was amazingly able to talk him out of wearing the ribbon in his hair. He had this serious look on his face all the time that you would find yourself asking if he is even happy. His answer of course would be yes though being forever with Rin he was going to have to learn how to express that happiness.

Those not apart of the wedding like Kagome, Mrs. Higurashi, Sango and her mother all said farewell to Rin and wished her luck. Kagome took her seat in the front to watch InuYasha. She's been waiting for this very moment. The moment she got to see InuYasha in his tuxedo.

"Excuse me?" An old woman on the Taisho family tree said to her.

"Yeah?"

"You have a little drool coming down her chin." Kagome turned bright red. "Here let me get that for ya!" She brought out her hanky and lightly dabbed it on the corner of Kagome's mouth. What was she a baby! A baby who apparently drools over fantasies of her best friend. "There ya go."

"Uh...thanks."

"No problem."

The piano music began silencing the chatter in the room. Everyone turned around and watched as Hitomi, the flower girl came from the double doors and flung daisies on the ground. One even purposely hit Kikyo in the face making Kagome laugh. Sota then walked down the aisle holding a fancy looking pillow with two rings placed on it. He was sweating bullets and hoped he didn't drop then.

~* Sota's daydream*~

The rings dropped to the floor in slow motion when he tripped over his shoe like an idiot. "Noooooooooo!" He yelled trying to catch them but with no luck.

"We hate you Sota."

"You ruined the best day of my life!"

"Be gone!" Gramps said throwing holy water at him.

~* Sota's daydream ends*~

He shook the horrible nightmare from his thoughts and continued walking. InuTaisho came out with Izayoi and was followed by Seira. She didn't look like she planned on doing any funny business. It wasn't like it was InuYasha's wedding. Now that's a different story. Once they took their seats the best man walked out with the maid of honor. This had been one of Rin's friends and InuYasha. Kagome wanted to scream and hop up and down when she saw him but she kept her cool. Kagome had to shield her eyes. He was just too sexy to be living on Earth. The elderly woman lightly tapped Kagome on the shoulder again but she held up her hand and wiped her slobber herself. The piano music got slightly more intense indicating that the bride was about to show. Everyone rose to their feet and turned their heads toward the back. The double doors were opened by two men who revealed the masked bride.

Sota tugged on InuYasha's slacks and whispered a question into his ear. "Who dat in the white?"

"What are you talking about?" InuYasha whispered back. "That's Rin you Idiot."

"How do you know? Her face is covered!"

"Have some commonsense Sota jeez."

Because Rin had lost her parents long ago she had the choice of walking with her stepfather but it didn't seem right because she wasn't that close to him. Instead, Kagura walked beside Rin down the aisle as if rightfully giving Rin to Sesshomaru with full acceptance. Sesshomaru couldn't seem to take his eyes off Rin. As soon as they made it to the alter, Kagura picked up both Rin's and Sesshomaru's hand and enclosed their hands slowly. The whole scene made Kagome want to burst in tears though she was focusing 1/3rd of her attention on InuYasha. He eased the sorrow. Kagura smiled and gave them each an embrace finally making her way to her seat. With that concluded the priest cleared his throat and began the holy words of matrimony.

Half way between his speech Sota offered the bride's ring to Sesshomaru. He placed it lightly on her finger and hesitantly released it. Rin did the same and smiled.

"I now pronounce Rin and Sesshomaru Taisho together in marriage by law and soon to be by youkai law. You may now kiss your bride."

Sesshomaru lifted the veil above Rin's head and finally got to see her precious face. Rin closed her eyes and leaned up for a kiss. He gently placed his lips over hers in a loving kiss and laced their fingers together. The people cheered for the new couple as they all rose again. Kagome could only hope she could one day find herself in a wedding dress. Though asking to become a Taisho would be a bit overdoing it.

"Sweetie? Do you need a bib?" The caring old lady asked.

"I'm fine! Alright!"

Okay, I'm going to continue writing on the reception right now because there was scene I wanted to do but It looks like I'll go over my page limit for this chapter so I just decided to put it in the next. Don't forget to review! I love reading what you have to say.
