Last Time:

“Kagome, I, Inuyasha, give you this ring, wear it with love and joy. I choose you to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day forward for better or for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish as long as we both shall live.”

 

Kagome smiled as he slipped the ring to her finger. She was only going to do this once, and not matter how much it hurt to marry someone that she didn't love, she had to do this for her family.

 

“Inuyasha, I, Kagome, give you this ring, wear it with love and joy. I choose you to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward for better or for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish as long as we both shall live.”

 

The priest smiled at the young couple, “That was beautiful, now” but before he could get any further.

 

“STOP! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!”

 

The priest quickly huffed, “I HAVENT GOTTEN TO THAT PART YET!”

Chapter 7: Interruptions and drunken brides

 

The priest huffed again, “That's my favorite part you know!”

 

Inuyasha stood alert as a male, wolf demon by the smell of it, crashed through the doors of the church and was currently marching his way down the aisle. From the corner of his eye he saw Kagome turn pale then become unbalanced as he turned quickly to catch her.

 

“Kagome? Do you know who that is? Who-“ Inuyasha asked as he started down Kagome's pale face.

 

“KAGOME!” the wolf demon shouted, “KAGOME!”

 

Untangling herself from Inuyasha's arms Kagome stepped up to face the enraged demon.

 

“Koga, I-“

 

“How could you do this to me?” Koga asked angrily.

 

“Koga, please, let me explain-“

 

`Koga?' Inuyasha's brain clicked, `Koga, he ex. Oh this isn't good.”

 

“There's nothing to explain, you, GOD, you and I, we-“ said the young demon trying to put his angry thoughts into words.

 

By this time Kagome was crying in hysterics, Sango was already by her side trying to calm the poor girl down.

 

Miroku and Sesshomaru now stood at Inuyasha's side, trying to figure out what to do with the situation.

 

The worst part was the camera flashes that we're now echoing in the church.

 

“Fuck, the press” Inuyasha said trying to come up with a plan to end this soon.

 

“Kagome,” the wolf demon said, now sounding more defeated, “Why? Just answer me why! You are supposed to marry me! I was going to ask you to marry me that day in the park! You are supposed to be with me, not with this mutt!”

 

The church had fallen silent at the man's confession, everyone that is, except Inuyasha,

“WHAT!”

 

“You heard me asshole, Kagome's mine!” The wolf said turning to Inuyasha.

 

“Get a grip on yourself man, pick yourself up and leave. This is my wedding, mine and Kagome's and you're not going to ruin it, take you ass out of here, you weren't invited.”

 

“YOU BASTARD! YOU STOLE HER FROM ME! YOU DID SOMETHING TO HER! SHE LOVES ME, SHE COULD NEVER LOVE A HALF BREED LIKE YOU!”

 

At that point Inuyasha couldn't take it anymore, he could sense Kagome's distress and something inside him told his to stop whatever was causing that distress. He was going to tear him apart, but before he could he caught a flash of silver as his brother knocked out Koga with a single punch, sending him to the floor.

 

The crowd gasped as Sesshomaru smiled, “No one calls my brother a half-breed!” `Well no one except me.' He thought privately.

 

Sesshomaru and Miroku quickly moved to drag Koga's body out the church and pass the surprised guests.

 

With Koga out of the church Inuyasha turned towards Kagome, who was still knelling on the floor sobbing.

 

“Kagome?” Inuyasha asked timidly, getting on the same level as she was, “Kags, come on Kags, we have to finish this.”

 

“No,” she said quietly, looking up at him, “I can't”

 

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha with her make up smeared and puffy eyes, but Inuyasha didn't care, at this point she looked like the most beautiful woman in the world.

 

“Of course you can. You're stronger than you thing, come on Kag,” He said taking her hand, “You have to do this, not for me, not for you, but for Sam, for your dad.”

 

Kagome took a few deep breaths before looking up again, “For daddy.”

 

“Yeah, for your dad.” He said as he wiped off the mascara that had smeared down her face.

 

“God, I must look like hell right now, you don't want to marry an ugly bride.”

 

“You look beautiful.” Inuyasha said before he could stop himself.

 

Both looked down and blushed as another face joined them, “Hey guys, sorry to interrupt and all, but you have well, company.” Miroku said swinging his head over to the guests.

 

Both Inuyasha and Kagome nodded as Inuyasha helped Kagome stand up.

 

“So, are you people ready for a wedding?” Inuyasha said as the crowd laughed and clapped.

 

“You ready to finish this?” Inuyasha said as she nodded.

 

“Well,” The priest said, “now that we can go on, if there aren't any more objections to this wedding, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride!”

 

Inuyasha didn't need to be told twice as he swept Kagome into his arms and kissed her, almost like he was trying to make up for her ruined wedding.

 

Kagome was surprised by the intensity in his kiss, how perfectly they fit together and how most importantly how at this moment, she didn't care about Koga, at this point all she cared about was this boy, no this man, that was kissing her, her husband.

 

The couple broke away breathless as the crowd cheered.

 

“May I now introduce,” the priest said excitedly, “Mr. and Mrs. Inuyasha Takanashi!”

 

Inuyasha and Kagome laughed as they walked back down the aisle, hand-in-hand, as the crowd threw rice on them. They raced outside and got into the limo fast, hopping to avoid the paparazzi.

 

Once inside the limo they became quiet, the smile slid from their faces as they realized what just happened. They just got married; up until that point they hadn't really taken it that seriously. It hadn't appeared that serious until the act was done. Now they were married, married, doesn't that mean forever?

 

“So why didn't you tell wolf-boy about the wedding, why didn't you break up with him?” Inuyasha asked breaking the silence.

 

“I don't know, I guess I didn't want to hurt him.”

 

“Well good job, he's not hurting now! He's probably hurting worse since that right hook that Sesh delivered on him, he's got a mean arm!”

 

“You can be a real jerk you know that!”

 

“I'm just telling you how it is, it would have been less painful, for the both of you, or more for him, if you told him earlier.”

 

“Well I'm sorry Inuyasha, I'm sorry if I'm not up to your standards, I'm sorry that I'm weaker than you. And I'm sorry that for the last few months I enjoyed the fantasy that I could find someone who truly loved me and that I could get married to. I'm sorry I didn't want to tell that man that loved me that I couldn't marry him because I have to marry some playboy!”

 

“Look here bitch, we both don't want this so let's not pretend that one of us is getting the worse deal out of this ok? This plan is fucked up and I know that as soon as we can, we'll get divorced. We'll get both of the companies stabilized then part our ways so you can go marry your precious wolf boy!”

 

Inuyasha couldn't understand this strange feeling inside of him. Jealousy? No it couldn't be. Why would he care if Kagome found someone who loved her enough to marry her? But some how the thought of someone else marrying her, holding her, kissing her, it just drove him mad. He had always been protective of her, but never thought much of it. He was supposed to be playing her boyfriend, so he had the right to get mad at any guy that flirted with her.

 

Inuyasha was jarred out of his thoughts by Kagome pushing him to get out of the limo, “Come on, stop day dreaming, everyone is waiting at the reception for us!”

 

“Stop pushing! I'm coming, don't forget to play nice princess, you don't want mommy to get mad.” He sneered as he opened the door.

 

“Go to hell Yash!”

 

Inuyasha laughed, “Baby, if I go to hell, you're coming too! Till death do us part!”

The couple stepped into the grand reception room with a roar of applause. They both smiled as they headed for the main table and sat down.

 

Miroku then took his place and stood up and tapped his glass, drawing everyone's attention, “Well as best man, I'm suppose to deliver a speech or something.”

 

The crowd laughed as Miroku smiled sheepishly and continued, “Well I've known Inuyasha and Kagome since the beginning of high school. I still remember the day that I first met them, walking through the halls of high school hand in hand. Even as a freshman I knew that there was something there.”

 

Both Kagome and Inuyasha suppressed the urge to roll their eyes and instead smiled.

 

Miroku continued looking at Inuyasha, “Yash was always a great guy, always there for anyone when they needed him. And Kagome, all I have to say that Inuyasha, you are one lucky man. Together they are at their best and they bring the best out of each other. When both of them parted ways after high school, both of them we're the same, but as soon as they were in each other's life again, the spark came back. A love like theirs is pure, something that overcomes and will overcome many barriers, many doubts and many hardships. I only hope that I will have a love like theirs. To Kagome and Inuyasha!”

 

“To Kagome and Inuyasha!” The crowd echoed lifting their glasses.

 

Both Kagome and Inuyasha downed their glasses, hoping to make the evening go by faster.

 

The reception went on peacefully, with both the bride and groom going around greeting people and receiving their congratulations. While doing this Kagome was having her share of the wine, hey it was her wedding, if there was one day that she could drink as much as she wanted to, it was tonight!

 

It was in the middle of talking to a family friend when Kagome was startled by someone calling her name on the microphone, “Can I please have Kagome and Inuyasha, the bride and groom, on the dance floor for their first dance as husband and wife please.”

 

Kagome excused herself as she made her way to Inuyasha that was already standing on the floor. It was at this moment panic struck her, she didn't choose a song for their first dance! What where they suppose to dance to? It was only when she heard the beginning on the melody that her heart calmed down.

 

Inuyasha took her into his arms as the song started.

 

*No more talk of darkness
Forget these wide-eyed fears
I'm here, nothing can harm you
My words will warm and calm you

Let me be your freedom
Let daylight dry your tears
I'm here, with you, beside you
To guard you and to guide you*

 

This was the song that her parents danced to at their wedding. Kagome looked gratefully at her mother who looked back at her with tears in her eyes.

 

*Say you'll love me every waking moment
Turn my head with talk of summer time
Say you need me with you now and always
Promise me that all you say is true
That's all I ask of you

 

Let me be your shelter
Let me be your light
You're safe, no one will find you
Your fears are far behind you*

 

Inuyasha listened to the lyrics to the song and knew that that was exactly what he needed to be doing for Kagome, protecting her. He pulled her closer and his heart beat faster when she laid her head on his chest and gave a content sigh.

 

*All I want is freedom
A world with no more night
And you, always beside me
To hold me and to hide me

 

Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Let me lead you from your solitude
Say you need me with you here, beside you
Anywhere you go, let me go too
Christine, that's all I ask of you

 

Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime
Say the word and I will follow you
Share each day with me, each night, each morning
Say you love me

 

You know I do

 

Love me, that's all I ask of you.

Anywhere you go, let me go too
Love me, that's all I ask of you*

 

The song ended and the couple remained in their position a few minutes longer until they heard the sound of the applause. Inuyasha looked down at Kagome and gave her a chaste kiss on the lips before turning and smiling towards the crowd.

 

The rest of the reception went fine, both the groom and the bride keeping a safe distance from each other, not to start a fight.

 

It was halfway through the night when Sango found Kagome slouched down on a chair in the back of the reception room with an empty glass in one hand and a Champaign bottle in the other.

 

“Oh god Kagome!” Sango said rushing to her.

 

“Sangie! Hiiiiiii” Kagome said, her words slurring together, “oh gosh guess what! I'm married! I'm married to Inuyasha! Isn't that a hoot!”

 

“Yeah Kags, a hoot! God, your drunk!”

 

“No I'm not! Seeee” she said trying to get but instead falling against Sango.

 

“No, no, no sit down, God Kags, couldn't you pick another day to get drunk, it's your wedding day for gods sake!”

 

“But it makes it more fun!” Kagome said giggling and swaying in her chair.

 

Sango shook her head at her friend, “Ok look, he's what I'm going to do, I'm going to go get someone and you stay here!”

 

“Where?!”

 

“Here! Right here! Don't more ok?”

 

Kagome nodded as she slid further down the chair.

 

Sango shook her head once more before leaving to find Inuyasha. It was after a few minutes of searching that she found him talking to Miroku.

 

“Inuyasha!” Sango said running towards him.

 

“Sango? What's wrong?” Miroku asked.

 

“Kagome! She's drunk!”

 

“She's what!” Inuyasha screaming.

 

Many people turned around to look at him and Inuyasha blushed and laughed, “Ehh just excited!”

 

The crowd cheered and `awwed'.

 

“Where is she?” Inuyasha quickly asked.

 

“Well I left her in the chair in the back of the room.”

 

“You left her! How could you leave her!”

 

“Well I had to go find you didn't I?

 

Inuyasha sighed as he, Sango and Miroku raced off to find Kagome.

 

Arriving at the place where Sango left Kagome, they found no one there. It was only looking farther down did they see Kagome drunkenly try to take another glass of wine from a frightened looking waiter.

 

They soon ran to her, Sango taking the glass out of her hand before she could consume any more alcohol.

 

“Heeeeyyyyyy! That was miinnneeee!” Kagome huffed crossing her arms, “Inuyasha! Seeee,” she turned to the waiter who was still standing there looking terrified, “this is my, um, what do I call you?” She said as she turned stupidly towards him.

 

“I'm you're husband.” Inuyasha responded angrily.

 

“Riiiiight! My husband! Oh hey! Where did he go?” She asked looking for the waiter that had by this time had scampered off. “Oh well, he wasn't a very good talker anyways! Um I think I want more Champaign!”

 

“Oh no you don't!” Sango said blocking her way.

 

“But! Ooohh…” Kagome said before she promptly fell.

 

Inuyasha, who had always had fast reflexes, caught her before she could hit the floor.

 

“Oh my god! What's wrong with her!” Sango asked getting scared.

 

“She's,” Inuyasha started before leaning in towards her face, “she's passed out, completely out of it. I have to get her out of here, go tell dad that we're leaving.”

 

Sango and Miroku hurried to go find InuTaisho while Inuyasha picked Kagome up bridal style.

 

Inuyasha quickly made his way across the room towards the exit, he was almost there when a voice stopped him.

 

“Hey son, where you going?”

 

Inuyasha froze as one of his dad's friends stopped in front of him.

 

“Um hello Mr. Blakes, we were just, well, um we are just-“

 

The bald man laughed, “You don't have to explain it to me son! You want to get to the honeymoon don't you slugger! Well you two have fun! Your father is expecting lots of grand children, don't disappoint him!”

 

Inuyasha blushed crimson and he mumbled a yes sir and got out of there as soon as he could.

 

He soon stepped into the limo, carefully, not to hit Kagome's head on anything and quickly told the driver to take them into the hotel.

 

Arriving at the hotel, he took the back entrance, not to attract attention to himself and his drunken bride.

 

He arrived at their honeymoon suite and kicked open the door. “Well wench,” he said, “I'm carrying you through the threshold, too bad you're not up!”

 

Inuyasha sighed as he carefully laid Kagome on the bed, he even entertained the thought of undressing her, only to relieve her of the dress of course, but thought better of it. `She won't be too happy in the morning.'

 

Inuyasha sat there for a moment just looking at her, “I think I like you better when you're like this, asleep.” He was about to get up when he heard Kagome moan and say something that strangely resembled his name. `Nah, I'm just imagining things.'

 

Inuyasha rounded the bed, too tired to move to the couch and laid down next to his bride. He sighed and put a hand over his eyes, “God, I married a drunk.”
