Ch. 45
Here Comes the Bride, But Where’s the Groom?
-----------------------------------------------
One Year Later…
“How do I look?”, Kagome asks, twirling round in her wedding gown.
The gown was simple in style; the skirt barely skimming the floor, long flowing sleeves, and a wide oval collar showed her neck-line, all white trimmed in gold.
(A/N: Think Kaylee’s white dress from the end of ‘Quest for Camelot’.)
“You look simply beautiful, Kagome”, her mother replies, smiling.
“Kagome, I know you’re excited about the wedding, but you need to sit still so I can do your hair”, Izayoi says, holding the white flower pins in her hand.
“Sorry”, she blushes, sitting down onto the vanity-stool.
“It’s okay”, Izayoi answers, styling Kagome’s hair up into a loose bun and securing it with the flower pins, “There!”, she says, placing the last pin.
Kagome looks herself over in the mirror.
“Such a simple-style, yet beautiful”, she smiles.
“Kagome, here”, he mother says, handing her daughter a small red jewelry-case.
She opens the case to find a necklace with a cherry-blossom shaped pendent made of pink-quartz, with matching cherry-blossom petal shaped dangling earrings also made of pink-quartz, inside it.
“Mom, they’re beautiful! Where you’d get them?”, she exclaims.
“Your father gave them to me the day you were born”, the woman replies.
“Dad did?”, she whispers.
“I never wore them”, Mrs. Higurashi says.
“But they’re yours, I can’t possible…”.
“Just think of them as a gift from your father”, she answers, smiling.
“Thanks mom”, Kagome says, looking down at the case in her hands.
“By the way Izayoi, you did a beautiful job on the floral-arrangements and sewing Kagome’s wedding dress”, he mother praises.
“Thank you, I’ve always had a talent for arranging flowers, and I did a lot of sewing when InuYasha was a lot younger; who knew a 3 year old could go through that many kimonos in one day”, Izayoi sighs, shaking her head at the memory.
“Energetic 3 year old boys are so hard on their clothes; Sota went through 5 pairs of jeans in two days, and those are hard to rip”, Mrs. Higurashi laughs.
“Also, I guess my son forgot to mention that I’m the one who sewed the dress Kagome wore to his 17th birthday party”, she continues.
Kagome puts in one of the dangling earrings, “He didn’t say about who made the dress”, she turns towards Izayoi, “Thank you for making the dress, it was gorgeous”, she thanks, bowing, “I loved it very much!”
“I could tell you loved it from the smile on your face”, Izayoi giggles.
Kagome blushes as she puts in the last earring and puts on the necklace.
“Man, you give the definition of blushing bride a new meaning, Kagome!”, a woman says, from the door.
The three women turn to find Karin standing there leaning on the doorframe, wearing a sky-blue dress.
“Karin!”, Kagome exclaims, “You came!”
“I wouldn’t want to miss the wedding of the century for nothing”, she replies.
“Kagome!”, a 12 year old Sota shouts, running into the room.
“What’s wrong?”, she asks.
“InuYasha has disappeared!”
“What do you mean he disappeared?”, Izayoi questions.
“He was pacing around in my room; nervous about the wedding, I stepped out for two minutes to get him a soda and when I returned, he had vanished!”, he explains.
“Pre-wedding jitters”, Karin sighs, “I’ll go find him and have a talk with him”, she heads downstairs to go find the husband to be-hanyou.
--------------------------------
Five Minutes Later…
On the Roof of the House…
InuYasha sits, staring out at the city wearing a black formal haori and hakama, his butt-length hair was tied back in a simple, low pony-tail.
“Is marrying Kagome the right choice?”, he sighs.
“There you are!”, Karin says, landing on the roof and folds her wings behind her back, “Worried about the future?”, she asks, sitting beside him.
“Yeah, but how did you know?”
“I’m an angel of fate, remember?”
InuYasha rests his chin on top of his knees, “What will my future be like if I marry Kagome?”, he questions.
“Huh, why are you asking me?”
“Why? You’re an angel of fate, that’s why!”
Karin blows a clump of hair from her face, “To tell the truth, I don’t know what your and Kagome’s future will look like”, she replies.
“Why the hell not?”
“An angel of fate can’t see into the future, we only know what is suppose to happen until the person reaches the next cross-road in life”, she sheepishly smiles.
“Cross-roads in life…?”
“Fate is controlled by the people living their lives; the choices they make in life”, Karin says, “This is one of those cross-roads in your life”.
“Choices? Explain”, he asks.
“Do you remember, the time you gave Kikyo your mother’s lip make-up?”
“Yes”, he nods, “I was expecting a gift in return”.
“Well, Kikyo’s gift to you would have been the prayer-beads with the spell-word of beloved”, she continues, “That moment in time was a cross-road in Kikyo’s life; the choice of trusting you and not imprison you with the beads or not trusting you and bound you to obey her”.
“Glad she decided to trust me…”, InuYasha sighs.
“But the path she chose, opened up another cross-road regarding trust”, Karin says.
“Huh?”
“When Naraku disguised himself as you and attacked Kikyo, she had the choice of finding you and ask for the truth or shoot you on site; she chose to shoot you, which opened the pathway in fate for you to be with Kagome”, she states.
“So, all of Koga’s advancements on Kagome didn’t have an impact on fate?”
“Koga was only a tool of fate to bring the two of you closer together”.
“Jealousy, huh?”, he scoffs.
“Marrying Kagome or not marrying her is the cross-road in your life you’ve come to”, she stands up, “That’s all I have to say. The choice is yours”.
“Do you have any advice to help me pick my path?”
“Just think about, what your and Kagome’s lives would be like as a married couple, and then think about what your lives would be like if you didn’t marry. Also think about Kagome, she is very happy to be marrying you”, she flies off the roof to the ground.
“What our lives would be like…”, he ponders.
-----------------------------------------
Back in Kagome’s Room…
Karin walks into the room, smiling.
“Did you find him?”, Kagome questions.
Karin nods.
“Where was he?”, Izayoi questions.
“Thinking on the roof”, she points to the ceiling.
“Thinking about what?”
“The future”, the angel replies.
“Is he regretting wanting to marry…me…?”, Kagome whispers.
Karin shakes her head, “No, he isn’t. He’s just worried about what the future may bring”.
“I went through the same-thing, I had to decide between the choice of honoring my family’s wishes by marrying Takemaru or following my heart and marrying InuYasha’s father”, Izayoi blushes, “I chose his father, even though it was torture to watch my son be picked on for being a hanyou, I’m glad I married his father and gave birth to him. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have such a great daughter-in-law marrying my son”, she hugs Kagome across the shoulders.
Kagome blushes, “Thanks”.
“Let’s get this wedding done”, Karin says, pushing off from leaning on the doorframe, ‘Good, InuYasha’s made his choice’, she thinks, seeing the pathway of fate opening up.
“Now for the last piece for your transformation into a beautiful bride”, Mrs. Higurashi states, placing the diamond encrested comb with sheer veil into her daughter’s hair.
“Time to see my husband to be”, Kagome says, smiling.
The women head downstairs.
------------------------------------
In the Shrine Courtyard…
InuYasha stands next to Kagome’s grandfather under the sacred tree, awaiting his bride. The groom was fidgeting, playing with the necklace that concealed his demonic features.
“You need to calm down”, her grandfather says, dressed in his Shinto priest robes.
“I know, but…”, he began, when the melody for ‘Here comes the bride’ began to play.
Kagome slowly walks down the aisle, towards her groom carrying a bucca of white hydrangeas. InuYasha could feel his nervousness ebb away at the sight of her, a light blush evades his cheeks.
When Kagome reaches him, he takes hold of her hand, causing her to blush.
“Do you, Kagome Higurashi, promise to honor, cerise, and love your husband?”, her grandfather asks.
Kagome looks lovingly at InuYasha, “I do”, she replies.
“Do you, Iya Himeno, promise to honor, cerise, and love your wife?”, the old man questions, turning towards InuYasha.
“Um…”, he gulps.
“You can do it, sweetie!”, Izayoi prayed.
InuYasha looks at Kagome, noticing the love pouring from her brown eyes; he feels his worry wane while looking into her eyes.
“I do!”, he confentely says.
“Does anyone object to this couple?”
“I sternly object! Kagome is my…Ack!”, a man calls out.
The bride, groom, and the guests turn and sees a young man with black hair and blue eyes, being tied up by a young woman with long red hair and green eyes.
“Ignore my husband, he is still a love-sick puppy”, the red head says, “What do you think you are doing, Koga? They were kind enough to invite us to the wedding and you want to pull this stunt!”, she angrily growls at him, pulling on his pony-tail.
“Ayame”, Kagome giggles, recognizing the female wolf-demon.
“Come on!”, Ayame orders, dragging Koga away by his hair.
“Looks like she’s got him whipped”, InuYasha whispers.
“Yes Ayame, dear!”, Koga whines.
“She sure does!”
“Well, that was unexpected. Is there anyone else who objects?”, grandpa asks.
No one else complains.
“Then, you’re both legally husband and wife!”, he exclaims, “I give you Iya and Kagome Himeno!”
The guests joyfully clap for the young newlyweds, as they slip the rings onto their spouse’s finger.
