Sesshoumaru and Kagura, the couple who had now been dating for four years. The two of them knew everything about the other and at the moment, they had planned a wedding for the following fall.
Kagura now sat at the kitchen table of her future in-laws house, discussing wedding plans with her future husband.
“So, have you decided if you want to have a public wedding or not?” Kagura asked the large, fluffy haired man who sat in the chair next to her. Their chairs were so close in fact that their arms were touching.
“I’d rather not. Everything in our lives has been public so far, I think a small private wedding would be better, plus we would be able to enjoy it more.” Sesshoumaru answered softly, almost as if he was bored.
“You sure?” She questioned while looking over to him and seen him nod his head. “Okay so you want small... how many people is small?”
“About 50 should be a fair number, and no press.” He answered her while sighing and leaning over to rest his head on her shoulder. Kagura began to write down small notes on the paper that sat on the table in front of her.
“So 25 guests a piece?”
“More or less.” He added.
“Well then should we make a guest list?” She questioned him.
“No, do that with Izayoi, I have no clue who she and father would want to invite. I knew getting married was a bad idea.” He stated, the end as an after thought. Kagura didn’t miss his words and turned quickly to look at him before pushing him off her shoulder. He looked at her oddly at the force she had placed on him, it was then that he realized what he said. “No I don’t mean it like that!” He said as she began to get out of her seat, no doubt to leave the room.
“Oh, and exactly how did you mean it?” She questioned as she stood fully out of her seat with her hands on her hips.
“I meant that the planning part is horrible! Not that I don’t want to marry you!” He said while moving out of his chair to hurry to her side.
This was a part of Sesshoumaru that his friends would be astonished to see. Well, he would usually just say that they were Kagura’s friends, but he knew that they were his friends too. Sesshoumaru was normally stoic and not really worried about what was going on around him, but when it came to Kagura, he showed every good emotion that he had ever heard of. She brought so much out in him, that was one way that he knew that he should marry her. She was the one who completed him, she made him a better person, even if it was so cliche that he could hardly stand it.
Kagura pouted at him as wrapped his arms around her, burying his face into her neck. “You’d have to be crazy to think that I don’t want to marry you.” He stated as he pulled away from the embrace that she had yet to return.
“You said it not me.” She smirked at him, a true Sesshoumaru smirk.
“Are you two fighting again?” Inutaisho questioned as he walked into the kitchen, he knew that since the wedding planning had started, there had been many fights between the couple.
“No father, of course not.” Sesshoumaru answered him as Izayoi walked into the kitchen behind him.
“Decided on guests yet?” Izayoi questioned the couple as Kagura took back her seat at the table.
“No actually. We just discussed that the two of you and Kagura should make up the guest list. I don’t really care who is there.” Sesshoumaru stated.
“Well then Kagura, lets start working on that.” Inutaisho said and took a seat at the table, his wife following shortly behind him. Sesshoumaru sighed and sat down as well, it would be a long night.
Later on that evening Sesshoumaru and Kagura were sitting in Sesshoumaru’s bedroom. Sesshoumaru’s room was just slightly down the hallway from Inuyasha’s room. The two of them were seated on Sesshoumaru’s bed, him resting back against the headboard and her between his legs resting up against his chest. He had wrapped his arms around her and she had placed her hands on top of his. His head was rested on her shoulder, the two of them just sitting in silent contentment.
After a while, Kagura decided to break the silence. “Well, Sesshou-kun, at least one more thing is done eh?” She smiled softly, she was nearly tired from wedding planning, and the wedding was still five months away.
“Yes, I’m glad that we are progressing finally. Now that we have a guest list, we can get all of the other things done.” He replied to her while nuzzling her neck softly with his nose.
“You know we still haven’t made any our big, after wedding decisions yet.” Kagura replied.
“Oh really, like what?” He questioned her softly.
“Like where we are going to live, for example.” She answered.
“You mean you don’t want to live with my parents?” He asked her but after receiving a soft growl he spoke again. “You know I’m just kidding love.”
“You’d better be. I don’t want to have to hurt you.”
“To answer your question, I’ve already been looking at a few places, if you’d like to check them all out sometime, we can go out together.” He answered her while tracing small circles on her stomach.
“Okay! That sounds like fun.” She smiled softly then turned her head around to place a quick kiss on his lips, as she tried to pull away, Sesshoumaru’s lips followed hers. The two of them deepened the kiss as she let her left hand start to rub the inside of this thigh and her right hand reached across her left shoulder to where his head was and she reached behind him and pulled his face even closer to hers as the two of them mashed their lips together in a breathtaking kiss.

Section Two: The Odd Couple
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx XxXx
Sango and Miroku, had been continuing their relationship much like they always had. The couple was really at a non-turning point in their life. In fact, Miroku hadn’t really seen much of Sango lately. She had been in her final quarter at the design school and she spent much of her time in the spare bedroom in which they had recently turned into a studio for her so that she would have enough room to work. Miroku would occasionally go over to see if he could help her with anything, or in the least, spend some time with her, but she would get so frustrated just with his presence in the room that she would send him away while throwing things at him, forcing her to chose between leaving the room and gaining some physical harm.
But all of that would soon be coming to an end, the fashion show that she was putting on after her final quarter of college was nigh. She was almost to the end of her program. All she had left was to put the finishing touches on her work and then do her final fashion show. Once that was done with and she had graduated, she would need to find a job. Then she and Miroku could get some more time together most likely.
Miroku was so bored at home by himself, as the girls were usually at work or school, and Kagura spent the majority of her time with Sesshoumaru, planning the wedding, that he had went to an animal shelter and adopted a tabby striped female kitten. He spent all of his free time with his new kitten which he had named Jingi (or ‘sacred treasure’ in Japanese). He had spent a lot of money fawning over Jingi. He bought her an expensive diamond collar and literally hundreds of toys, which he kept in the corner of the large livingroom.
Lately Jingi had taken to sleeping with Miroku in the bedroom because Sango would stay up almost all night and when she did sleep it would be on one of the couches that was in her make-shift studio.
Miroku didn’t mind it all too much though. He knew that eventually he’d have Sango back in his life, and back in his bed.

Section Three: The Newest Couple
xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx XxXx
Kagome’s family was out of town once again. She was staying at the family shrine again, making sure that nothing bad would happen to it. Inuyasha had came over to spend the day with her, and the couple found themselves in the same place that they found themselves many times. They were out in front of the shrine sitting in front of the Goshinboku. The Goshinboku, or the tree of ages, was a tree that was said to have sat in front of the family shrine for hundreds of years. It had also been said that every import thing that had happened to the Higurashi family either took place under the tree or it played a great part in the activity.
Inuyasha had known about the family history with the tree, he had asked one day why it was so important when he realized how well her family treated the tree. Inuyasha was sitting at the base of the tree with his back resting against it. Kagome was seated in his lap. It was nearing night time and the couple were sitting outside in the oncoming darkness of the evening, just enjoying one another’s company, neither of them had spoken in a while.
There was a lot on Inuyasha’s mind. He had been thinking over his relationship with Kagome almost all day. He loved her. Inuyasha had never openly admitted to loving any girl in the past. He couldn’t even remember a time when he admitted to himself that he loved a girl. He had came down to the conclusion that she was the first person that he had ever loved. He knew that now was as good of time as any.
“Kagome, we need to talk.” He said softly to her, only love shining in his golden eyes.
“About what?” She questioned him, turning around in his lap so that she was facing him.
“My Kagome.” He said softly as his hand reached up to cup one of her cheeks, his thumb making small patterned circles across her cheek.
“Yes?” She asked again, this time a small confusion written across her features.
“This might not be the most romantic way of doing this but...” He paused for a moment, he looked almost as if he wanted to run his hand through his bangs and sigh, but he didn’t.
“But what, Inu-kun?” She questioned him softly, now truly confused.
“It’s just that I... I was wondering if you would consider, becoming my wife, Kagome.” Inuyasha answered, his eyes never leaving hers. Kagome blinked up at him, then frowned slightly.
“Are you asking me to marry you, Inuyasha?” She questioned him softly, almost wanting to look away from his face, but she couldn’t do it.
“Yes Love, I am.” He added. ‘Don’t leave me hanging like this Kagome, you’re really freaking me out.’ Inuyasha just didn’t know what to think.
“I... I... no.” She stated softly, her eyes dropping from his gaze.
“No?” Inuyasha looked as if his heart would break any moment, in truth he felt that way as well. Kagome had her eyes hiding behind her bangs, Inuyasha quirked an eyebrow when he heard a small giggle leave from her. ‘First she turns me down, then she laughs at me. Great.’ “Now what?” He almost spat at her, his anger coming out in his sadness.
“I was going to add a, not without a ring, buddy, but you just got all jumpy on me.” Kagome smiled, raising her head back up to his gaze.
“Is that a yes then?” He questioned her. Now thoroughly confused.
“Only if I get a ring.” Kagome smirked while looking up at him. Inuyasha’s mood switched swiftly as he began grumbling while shifting around and searching his pockets.
“You damn women and your jewelry, marry the damn ring why don’t ya?” He huffed as he finally found the small undecorated box and handed it to his, hopefully, future wife.
Kagome took the box and opened it before gasping softly. The ring was old, she could tell, it had a solid gold band and a larger sized heart shaped diamond resting upon the band. It almost reminded her of the play jewelry that you could get out of machines at supermarkets and grocery stores, but this ring was much more intricate.
“Inuyasha, it’s beautiful!” She smiled brightly before Inuyasha pulled the box out of her hand, took the ring out of the box, and then went to place the ring on her finger.
“I just ask that you be careful with this ring Love. It was my grandmother’s. Mother gave it to me a few years ago.” He said as he finished putting the ring on her finger. Kagome threw her arms around Inuyasha’s neck and knocked him down to the ground sideways as she began to hug him fiercely.
“I promise I’ll take care of it Inu-kun.” She smiled down at him as he shifted them on the ground so that he was laying flat on his back and Kagome was straddling his hips.
“You’d better after that stunt you just pulled.” He smirked at her before pulling her face down towards his for a kiss.

“You mean you don’t want to live with my parents?” He asked her but after receiving a soft growl he spoke again. ---- Yes because she so wants to go from living with her brother to living with your parents! Good Idea!
“I was going to add a, not without a ring, buddy, but you just got all jumpy on me.” Kagome smiled, raising her head back up to his gaze.----- Don’t take it as superficial... she just likes freaking him out is all :D
“You damn women and your jewelry, marry the damn ring why don’t ya?” He huffed as he finally found the small undecorated box and handed it to his, hopefully, future wife.----- You tell her Inuyasha!
