Ch. 46
The Wedding Party; Unexpected Guests!
-----------------------------------------------------
An Hour Later…
At InuYasha’s House…
Only the guests that knew Iya was InuYasha were invited to the party. The guests were scattered all around the garden; some talking, some admiring Izayoi’s flowers and some up to no good. All of them dressed in kimonos.
Izayoi walks along one of the garden’s paths wearing the kimono she used to wear when she was a princess in the Heian Era, conversing with Kagome’s mother; exchanging embarrassing stories of what their children did when they were younger.
Kagome and InuYasha walk around the garden greeting and conversing with the guests, InuYasha quite content with wearing his robes of the fire rat and Kagome wearing a long, beautiful pink kimono with gold embroidered butterflies.
When the young married couple finally had a moment to themselves, they sat underneath the cherry-tree in the garden.
“We’re finally alone”, InuYasha whispers, stealing a kiss from his wife.
“You’re still as brash as you were when we first met”, she says, massing the base of his ear; it’s tip twitching as she touches it.
“You know just how to push the right buttons”, he shivers, as a doggy-style purr begins to rumble in his chest.
They both get the feeling that they were being watched, they turn to find the intruder to their private-time standing there.
“Don’t mind me, continue your fun”, she says, smiling.
“What do you want Karin?”, he growls, stopping his purring.
“Nothing too important…”, she shrugs.
“How are you enjoying the party?”, Kagome asks.
“It’s perfect, excepted Koga pissed off Ayame again and he found himself in the punch-bowl. Luckily no one was hurt; well no one but Koga”, Karin says.
“Is that all you have to say?”, he angrily questions.
“No, some guests were looking for you two”, she replies.
“We’ll see them later, like tomorrow!”, he states.
“It would be wise to see them today, like now”.
“Why?”, he snorts.
“I could only get them here for the day”, the angel continues.
“We should go see them”, Kagome says, standing up, “Come on, InuYasha”.
“Precious cuddle-time lost again”, he mutters, following his wife.
------------------------------
Five Minutes Later…
“Now where are they?”, Karin asks herself, looking around.
“Kagome…!”, an 8 year old boy with reddish-brown hair shouts, hugging Kagome around the waist.
“Shippo…?”, she gasps, as she tries to dislodge the clinging fox demon.
“He’s really missed you, Kagome”, a man says.
Kagome looks up and finds Miroku standing there with Sango beside him; both in formal kimonos.
“The wedding was beautiful and you looked wonderful in your dress Kagome”, Sango adds.
“Miroku…! Sango…!”, Kagome gasps.
“Where are your children?”, InuYasha asks, knowing that them being here was Karin’s doing.
“In Kohaku and Kaede’s care”, Miroku replies.
“Did you know that Sesshomaru is here?”, Sango asks.
“What? Sesshomaru’s here!”, InuYasha growls, “He better not be here to kill me?”
Karin states giggling.
“What’s so funny?”, he continues to growl.
“Sesshomaru is a guest to the party”.
“You invited him?”
“Yeah, I did. And the fact that he showed up, proves that he sees you as a member of your father’s blood-line”, the angel states.
“What could have changed his stubborn mind?”, InuYasha wonders.
“I think it has something to do with his own hanyou children”.
“Hanyou…children…”, he blinks.
“You mean, Sesshomaru took Rin as a mate?”, Kagome exclaims.
“Yep!”, Karin nods, “But I should warn you InuYasha, he is still angry at you for cutting his left arm off”, she whispers.
“He’s still angry after 503 years?”, he laughs.
“Uh-ha!”, she nods, “Now where did my escort go? I wanted to introduce him to you”, she says, looking around.
A glass suddenly falls and shatters on the stone path, InuYasha turns to find his mother standing there, a look of shocked disbelief on her face as she stares at somebody in a crowd of guests.
Suddenly, she gracefully runs towards the person, “Dearest!”, she cries, tightly hugging the man.
InuYasha stands there blushing, embarrassed that his mother; a full-grown woman raised as a respectable princess, just ran and hugged somebody like she was a love sick teenager.
“Dearest…?”, he whispers, ‘The only person she ever called dearest was… could it be him…?’, he thinks, looking at the man.
“It is him…!”, InuYasha gasps, recognizing the man’s face from the time he saw his father’s spirit after he and Sesshomaru defeated the Sounga.
“Yep, your mother found him”, Karin says.
“Hey Karin. Is that really…?”, he began.
“Yes, your father in the flesh”, she replies, “He’s on a day pass from the afterlife”, she explains.
“Come on InuYasha”, Kagome says, tugging on her husband’s hand, “Let’s go greet your father”.
“Sure…”, he nods, following his wife.
“Oh dearest, I’ve missed you so much”, Izayoi coos, hanging off her husband’s arm.
“Izayoi, darling. Could you please calm down and stop acting like a teenager, you’re embarrassing our son in front of the guests”, InuTaisho whispers, watching his youngest son and daughter in-law approaching.
“I forgot my manners…”, she quietly says, calming down.
“I fell in love with your energy”, he replies, placing a light kiss on her cheek.
“Ah…father…?”, InuYasha asks, his voice sounding unsure.
InuYasha stood there, uncertainly visible on his face; making him appear like he was ten years old, fighting to sort out the feelings that he was feeling.
Anger at his father for dieing; leaving him and his mother alone. Guilt at himself that it was his fault he died. Regret that he was hated for just being born by everyone else, except his parents, Kagome, Kagome’s family, and his friends. Sad his father had died. And finally, Happiness that his father was standing before him in the world of the living.
“InuYasha… my son”, InuTaisho gently says, smiling.
At his father’s words, InuYasha felt the dam holding his emotions at bay, shatter and flood over him.
“Father…!”, he exclaims, running into his father’s open arms and openly embraces him, with tears streaming down his cheeks.
Kagome stands there watching her husband hug his father, swearing for a moment she saw him age-backwards to the age of 5 as he ran to hug InuTaisho.
“Is that InuYasha’s father?”, Mrs. Higurashi asks, standing besides her daughter.
“Yes, it is”, she answers.
“Now I can see why InuYasha is cute, his father is hot!”
“Mom!”, Kagome screams, her face turning completely red from embarrassment, “I can’t believe you just said that!”
“What? It’s true”, her mother says.
Kagome’s blush turns a shade darker.
“InuYasha, you’ve grown up so much since the last time I saw you”, InuTaisho praises, holding his son by the shoulders, “You have grown up noblely, despite your hard times”.
“I did lose my way”, InuYasha replies, wiping away his tears with his sleeve, “But someone very special to me helped my find it again”, he adds, lovingly looking over at Kagome.
InuTaisho glances over at where his son was looking.
“Who might this blushing young lady be?”, he asks.
InuYasha motions Kagome to come on over.
“Kagome, this is my father”, he says, “Father, this is my wife; Kagome”.
“I’m pleased to meet you”, Kagome greets, bowing.
“You too, young lady”.
“Don’t you agree our son choose the right girl to be his bride, dearest?”, Izayoi asks.
“I agree, only a woman who can accept our son for the hanyou he is. Is worthy of being his wife”, he replies, “You both have my blessings”.
“And mine as well”, Izayoi adds, holding InuTaisho’s arm.
“Darling, don’t you think we have some catching up to do?”
“Of course, dearest”, she nods, following InuTaisho to the cherry-tree.
“Attention everyone!”, Karin’s voice came over the speakers, “Can the bride and groom, please come to the stage!”
“What in the world, is this all about?”, Kagome questions.
“Let’s go and find out”.
---------------------------
At the Stage…
“Ah, there they are!”, Karin exclaims, the microphone in her hand.
The guests clap for the couple.
“What is this about, Karin?”, InuYasha growls.
“Just trust me”, she grins, handing microphones to Kagome and InuYasha, she then turns back towards the guests, “Now for you entertainment, the bride and groom will sing a duet”.
“What!”, both Kagome and InuYasha gasp.
“Just sing!”, Karin insists.
(A/N: Never trust an angel when she says: “Trust me” and hands you a microphone.)
The music begins playing.
(A/N: I don’t own the song ‘Wonderful Journey’ or ‘Richard Marx & Donna Lewis’.)
(A/N: Singing guide; Kagome is singing, InuYasha is singing, and both are singing.)
“We were strangers, starting out on a journey
Never dreaming, what we’d have to go through
Now here we are, I’m suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
No one told me, I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to me heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind
This is the start
And life is a road and I wanna keep goin’
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowin’
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I’ll be there when the world stops turning
I’ll be there when the storm is through
In the end I want to be standing
At the beginning with you
We were strangers, on crazy adventure
Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
And life is a road and I wanna keep goin’
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowin’
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I’ll be there when the world stops turning
I’ll be there when the storm is through
In the end I want to be standing
At the beginning with you
Knew there was somebody somewhere,
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I’ve been waiting so long
Nothing is going to tear us apart
Love…
And life is a road and I wanna keep goin’
Ooo…
Love is a river I wanna keep flowin’
Life is a road now and forever, wonderful journey
I’ll be there when the world stops turning
I’ll be there when the storm is through
In the end I want to be standing
At the beginning with you
Life is a road and I wanna keep goin’
Love is a river I wanna keep goin’ on
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna keep goin’
Love is a river I wanna keep flowin’
In The end I wanna be standing
At the beginning…
With you…”.
When the music ends, the guests applauded.
“The bride and groom, everybody!”, Karin says, as InuYasha leads Kagome off the stage.
“Music! Music!”, the guests chant, wanting an encore.
“Unfortunately, the bride and groom don’t want to sing any more songs”, Karin responds.
“Aw…”, the guests groan.
“But I hope you all won’t mind if I have shikigamis in the forms of popular singers, sing”.
“Yah!”, they cheer.
Karin pulls two paper dolls out from her kimono, and mutters a quick chant as she throws them onto the stage.
Then in a puff of smoke, the dolls take the forms of Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes, both holding microphones.
“I would like the bride and groom to dance along with this one”, Karin says.
“You’re getting annoying, Karin!”, InuYasha shouts from where he stood, next to Kagome.
“Rude as always, little brother”, a male’s voice coldly says.
“Sesshomaru…”, he growls, turning around.
InuYasha finds Sesshomaru standing there in an Amari business-suit, his hair neatly trimmed to shoulder-length, with a young girl of 10 holding his hand.
(A/N: I know I said ‘everyone’ was in kimonos, but I lied!)
“You’re still as impulsive as ever”, Sesshomaru coolly states.
“Why don’t you stuff your tail down you throat!”, InuYasha retorts.
“I don’t want any foul language around my daughter”, Sesshomaru warns.
InuYasha looks down at the girl holding his older brother’s hand.
The girl had gold eyes like her father, mid-back length black hair, and even though they were hard to see among her dark hair, two pointed, black dog-ears a top her head.
“Father, who is he?”, the girl asks, tugging on her father’s sleeve and pointing at InuYasha.
Sesshomaru kneels in front of his daughter, holding her shoulder, “That’s your Uncle InuYasha”, he calmly replies.
The girl moves from her father’s side to stand before InuYasha.
“Hello, Uncle InuYasha”, she shyly greets, “My name is Suka”, she introduces, bowing.
“She’s so cute!”, Kagome coos.
Suka quickly runs to hide behind her father’s legs.
“Suka is the youngest of five children”, Sesshomaru monotonely states.
“Where is Rin?”, Kagome asks.
“Mommy died… while giving birth… to me…”, Suka quietly replies.
“So, have you taken Suka to see our father yet?”, InuYasha questions, changing the subject.
“I would, but I don’t know where he went”.
“He’s under the cherry-tree with my mother”, InuYasha says, pointing the tree out to Sesshomaru.
“Thank you, little brother”, Sesshomaru thanks, walking away, “The wedding was respectable”.
“Bye Uncle InuYasha!”, Suka waves, following her father.
“She looks so much like Rin when she smiles”, Kagome coos, remembering Suka’s mother when she was that age.
“Probably looks exacting like her mother when she turns human”.
“This song represents the last three years the bride and groom have known each-other”, Karin says.
The music for the song begins playing.
“I know this song! Come on InuYasha, this is one of my favorites!”, Kagome exclaims, grabbing his hand and runs to the dance-floor.
“Wha…? Kagome!”
“Just go with the beat of the music”, she tells him.
(A/N: I don’t own the song ‘The Time of My Life’ or “Billy Medley & Jennifer Warnes’.)
“Now I’ve had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it’s the truth
And I owe it all to you
‘Cause I’ve had the time of my life
and I owe it all to you
I’ve been waiting for so long
Now I’ve finally found someone
To stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There’s no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each-other’s hand
‘Cause we seem to understand the urgency
Just remember
You’re the one thing
I can’t get enough of
So I’ll tell you something
This could be love because
I’ve had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it’s the truth
And I owe it all to you
‘Cause I had the time of my life
And I’ve searched through every open door
Till I’ve found the truth
And I owe it all to you
With my body and soul
I want more than you’ll ever know
So we’ll just let it go
Don’t be afraid to lose control
Yes I know what’s on your mind
When you say:
‘Stay with me tonight’
Just remember
You’re the one thing
I can’t get enough of
So I’ll tell you something
I’ve had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it’s the truth
And I owe it all to you
‘Cause I had the time of my life
And I’ve searched through every open door
Till I’ve found the truth
And I owe it all to you
(Instrumental)
Now I’ve had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
(Never felt this way)
Yes I swear it’s the truth
And I owe it all to you
I had the time of my life
And I’ve searched through every open door
Till I’ve found the truth
And I owe it all to you
I’ve had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it’s the truth
And I owe it all to you”.
----------------------------
Later…
That Night…
Both InuYasha and Kagome lay in bed, Kagome’s head resting against her husband’s bare chest.
“InuYasha?”, she asks.
“Yeah? What’s wrong?”
“What are you doing?”
“Thinking”.
“About the future?”
“Yes…”.
“I’m wondering what the future has in-store for us too”, Kagome says.
“Let’s not worry about the future, how about we focus on the here and now”, he smirks, pinning her underneath himself and wildly kissing her on the lips.
“InuYasha…!”, she gasps.

The Wedding Party; Unexpected Guests!
-----------------------------------------------------
An Hour Later…
At InuYasha’s House…
Only the guests that knew Iya was InuYasha were invited to the party. The guests were scattered all around the garden; some talking, some admiring Izayoi’s flowers and some up to no good. All of them dressed in kimonos.
Izayoi walks along one of the garden’s paths wearing the kimono she used to wear when she was a princess in the Heian Era, conversing with Kagome’s mother; exchanging embarrassing stories of what their children did when they were younger.
Kagome and InuYasha walk around the garden greeting and conversing with the guests, InuYasha quite content with wearing his robes of the fire rat and Kagome wearing a long, beautiful pink kimono with gold embroidered butterflies.
When the young married couple finally had a moment to themselves, they sat underneath the cherry-tree in the garden.
“We’re finally alone”, InuYasha whispers, stealing a kiss from his wife.
“You’re still as brash as you were when we first met”, she says, massing the base of his ear; it’s tip twitching as she touches it.
“You know just how to push the right buttons”, he shivers, as a doggy-style purr begins to rumble in his chest.
They both get the feeling that they were being watched, they turn to find the intruder to their private-time standing there.
“Don’t mind me, continue your fun”, she says, smiling.
“What do you want Karin?”, he growls, stopping his purring.
“Nothing too important…”, she shrugs.
“How are you enjoying the party?”, Kagome asks.
“It’s perfect, excepted Koga pissed off Ayame again and he found himself in the punch-bowl. Luckily no one was hurt; well no one but Koga”, Karin says.
“Is that all you have to say?”, he angrily questions.
“No, some guests were looking for you two”, she replies.
“We’ll see them later, like tomorrow!”, he states.
“It would be wise to see them today, like now”.
“Why?”, he snorts.
“I could only get them here for the day”, the angel continues.
“We should go see them”, Kagome says, standing up, “Come on, InuYasha”.
“Precious cuddle-time lost again”, he mutters, following his wife.
------------------------------
Five Minutes Later…
“Now where are they?”, Karin asks herself, looking around.
“Kagome…!”, an 8 year old boy with reddish-brown hair shouts, hugging Kagome around the waist.
“Shippo…?”, she gasps, as she tries to dislodge the clinging fox demon.
“He’s really missed you, Kagome”, a man says.
Kagome looks up and finds Miroku standing there with Sango beside him; both in formal kimonos.
“The wedding was beautiful and you looked wonderful in your dress Kagome”, Sango adds.
“Miroku…! Sango…!”, Kagome gasps.
“Where are your children?”, InuYasha asks, knowing that them being here was Karin’s doing.
“In Kohaku and Kaede’s care”, Miroku replies.
“Did you know that Sesshomaru is here?”, Sango asks.
“What? Sesshomaru’s here!”, InuYasha growls, “He better not be here to kill me?”
Karin states giggling.
“What’s so funny?”, he continues to growl.
“Sesshomaru is a guest to the party”.
“You invited him?”
“Yeah, I did. And the fact that he showed up, proves that he sees you as a member of your father’s blood-line”, the angel states.
“What could have changed his stubborn mind?”, InuYasha wonders.
“I think it has something to do with his own hanyou children”.
“Hanyou…children…”, he blinks.
“You mean, Sesshomaru took Rin as a mate?”, Kagome exclaims.
“Yep!”, Karin nods, “But I should warn you InuYasha, he is still angry at you for cutting his left arm off”, she whispers.
“He’s still angry after 503 years?”, he laughs.
“Uh-ha!”, she nods, “Now where did my escort go? I wanted to introduce him to you”, she says, looking around.
A glass suddenly falls and shatters on the stone path, InuYasha turns to find his mother standing there, a look of shocked disbelief on her face as she stares at somebody in a crowd of guests.
Suddenly, she gracefully runs towards the person, “Dearest!”, she cries, tightly hugging the man.
InuYasha stands there blushing, embarrassed that his mother; a full-grown woman raised as a respectable princess, just ran and hugged somebody like she was a love sick teenager.
“Dearest…?”, he whispers, ‘The only person she ever called dearest was… could it be him…?’, he thinks, looking at the man.
“It is him…!”, InuYasha gasps, recognizing the man’s face from the time he saw his father’s spirit after he and Sesshomaru defeated the Sounga.
“Yep, your mother found him”, Karin says.
“Hey Karin. Is that really…?”, he began.
“Yes, your father in the flesh”, she replies, “He’s on a day pass from the afterlife”, she explains.
“Come on InuYasha”, Kagome says, tugging on her husband’s hand, “Let’s go greet your father”.
“Sure…”, he nods, following his wife.
“Oh dearest, I’ve missed you so much”, Izayoi coos, hanging off her husband’s arm.
“Izayoi, darling. Could you please calm down and stop acting like a teenager, you’re embarrassing our son in front of the guests”, InuTaisho whispers, watching his youngest son and daughter in-law approaching.
“I forgot my manners…”, she quietly says, calming down.
“I fell in love with your energy”, he replies, placing a light kiss on her cheek.
“Ah…father…?”, InuYasha asks, his voice sounding unsure.
InuYasha stood there, uncertainly visible on his face; making him appear like he was ten years old, fighting to sort out the feelings that he was feeling.
Anger at his father for dieing; leaving him and his mother alone. Guilt at himself that it was his fault he died. Regret that he was hated for just being born by everyone else, except his parents, Kagome, Kagome’s family, and his friends. Sad his father had died. And finally, Happiness that his father was standing before him in the world of the living.
“InuYasha… my son”, InuTaisho gently says, smiling.
At his father’s words, InuYasha felt the dam holding his emotions at bay, shatter and flood over him.
“Father…!”, he exclaims, running into his father’s open arms and openly embraces him, with tears streaming down his cheeks.
Kagome stands there watching her husband hug his father, swearing for a moment she saw him age-backwards to the age of 5 as he ran to hug InuTaisho.
“Is that InuYasha’s father?”, Mrs. Higurashi asks, standing besides her daughter.
“Yes, it is”, she answers.
“Now I can see why InuYasha is cute, his father is hot!”
“Mom!”, Kagome screams, her face turning completely red from embarrassment, “I can’t believe you just said that!”
“What? It’s true”, her mother says.
Kagome’s blush turns a shade darker.
“InuYasha, you’ve grown up so much since the last time I saw you”, InuTaisho praises, holding his son by the shoulders, “You have grown up noblely, despite your hard times”.
“I did lose my way”, InuYasha replies, wiping away his tears with his sleeve, “But someone very special to me helped my find it again”, he adds, lovingly looking over at Kagome.
InuTaisho glances over at where his son was looking.
“Who might this blushing young lady be?”, he asks.
InuYasha motions Kagome to come on over.
“Kagome, this is my father”, he says, “Father, this is my wife; Kagome”.
“I’m pleased to meet you”, Kagome greets, bowing.
“You too, young lady”.
“Don’t you agree our son choose the right girl to be his bride, dearest?”, Izayoi asks.
“I agree, only a woman who can accept our son for the hanyou he is. Is worthy of being his wife”, he replies, “You both have my blessings”.
“And mine as well”, Izayoi adds, holding InuTaisho’s arm.
“Darling, don’t you think we have some catching up to do?”
“Of course, dearest”, she nods, following InuTaisho to the cherry-tree.
“Attention everyone!”, Karin’s voice came over the speakers, “Can the bride and groom, please come to the stage!”
“What in the world, is this all about?”, Kagome questions.
“Let’s go and find out”.
---------------------------
At the Stage…
“Ah, there they are!”, Karin exclaims, the microphone in her hand.
The guests clap for the couple.
“What is this about, Karin?”, InuYasha growls.
“Just trust me”, she grins, handing microphones to Kagome and InuYasha, she then turns back towards the guests, “Now for you entertainment, the bride and groom will sing a duet”.
“What!”, both Kagome and InuYasha gasp.
“Just sing!”, Karin insists.
(A/N: Never trust an angel when she says: “Trust me” and hands you a microphone.)
The music begins playing.
(A/N: I don’t own the song ‘Wonderful Journey’ or ‘Richard Marx & Donna Lewis’.)
(A/N: Singing guide; Kagome is singing, InuYasha is singing, and both are singing.)
“We were strangers, starting out on a journey
Never dreaming, what we’d have to go through
Now here we are, I’m suddenly standing
At the beginning with you
No one told me, I was going to find you
Unexpected, what you did to me heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind
This is the start
And life is a road and I wanna keep goin’
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowin’
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I’ll be there when the world stops turning
I’ll be there when the storm is through
In the end I want to be standing
At the beginning with you
We were strangers, on crazy adventure
Never dreaming, how our dreams would come true
Now here we stand, unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
And life is a road and I wanna keep goin’
Love is a river, I wanna keep flowin’
Life is a road, now and forever, wonderful journey
I’ll be there when the world stops turning
I’ll be there when the storm is through
In the end I want to be standing
At the beginning with you
Knew there was somebody somewhere,
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my dream will live on
I’ve been waiting so long
Nothing is going to tear us apart
Love…
And life is a road and I wanna keep goin’
Ooo…
Love is a river I wanna keep flowin’
Life is a road now and forever, wonderful journey
I’ll be there when the world stops turning
I’ll be there when the storm is through
In the end I want to be standing
At the beginning with you
Life is a road and I wanna keep goin’
Love is a river I wanna keep goin’ on
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna keep goin’
Love is a river I wanna keep flowin’
In The end I wanna be standing
At the beginning…
With you…”.
When the music ends, the guests applauded.
“The bride and groom, everybody!”, Karin says, as InuYasha leads Kagome off the stage.
“Music! Music!”, the guests chant, wanting an encore.
“Unfortunately, the bride and groom don’t want to sing any more songs”, Karin responds.
“Aw…”, the guests groan.
“But I hope you all won’t mind if I have shikigamis in the forms of popular singers, sing”.
“Yah!”, they cheer.
Karin pulls two paper dolls out from her kimono, and mutters a quick chant as she throws them onto the stage.
Then in a puff of smoke, the dolls take the forms of Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes, both holding microphones.
“I would like the bride and groom to dance along with this one”, Karin says.
“You’re getting annoying, Karin!”, InuYasha shouts from where he stood, next to Kagome.
“Rude as always, little brother”, a male’s voice coldly says.
“Sesshomaru…”, he growls, turning around.
InuYasha finds Sesshomaru standing there in an Amari business-suit, his hair neatly trimmed to shoulder-length, with a young girl of 10 holding his hand.
(A/N: I know I said ‘everyone’ was in kimonos, but I lied!)
“You’re still as impulsive as ever”, Sesshomaru coolly states.
“Why don’t you stuff your tail down you throat!”, InuYasha retorts.
“I don’t want any foul language around my daughter”, Sesshomaru warns.
InuYasha looks down at the girl holding his older brother’s hand.
The girl had gold eyes like her father, mid-back length black hair, and even though they were hard to see among her dark hair, two pointed, black dog-ears a top her head.
“Father, who is he?”, the girl asks, tugging on her father’s sleeve and pointing at InuYasha.
Sesshomaru kneels in front of his daughter, holding her shoulder, “That’s your Uncle InuYasha”, he calmly replies.
The girl moves from her father’s side to stand before InuYasha.
“Hello, Uncle InuYasha”, she shyly greets, “My name is Suka”, she introduces, bowing.
“She’s so cute!”, Kagome coos.
Suka quickly runs to hide behind her father’s legs.
“Suka is the youngest of five children”, Sesshomaru monotonely states.
“Where is Rin?”, Kagome asks.
“Mommy died… while giving birth… to me…”, Suka quietly replies.
“So, have you taken Suka to see our father yet?”, InuYasha questions, changing the subject.
“I would, but I don’t know where he went”.
“He’s under the cherry-tree with my mother”, InuYasha says, pointing the tree out to Sesshomaru.
“Thank you, little brother”, Sesshomaru thanks, walking away, “The wedding was respectable”.
“Bye Uncle InuYasha!”, Suka waves, following her father.
“She looks so much like Rin when she smiles”, Kagome coos, remembering Suka’s mother when she was that age.
“Probably looks exacting like her mother when she turns human”.
“This song represents the last three years the bride and groom have known each-other”, Karin says.
The music for the song begins playing.
“I know this song! Come on InuYasha, this is one of my favorites!”, Kagome exclaims, grabbing his hand and runs to the dance-floor.
“Wha…? Kagome!”
“Just go with the beat of the music”, she tells him.
(A/N: I don’t own the song ‘The Time of My Life’ or “Billy Medley & Jennifer Warnes’.)
“Now I’ve had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it’s the truth
And I owe it all to you
‘Cause I’ve had the time of my life
and I owe it all to you
I’ve been waiting for so long
Now I’ve finally found someone
To stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There’s no way we could disguise it secretly
So we take each-other’s hand
‘Cause we seem to understand the urgency
Just remember
You’re the one thing
I can’t get enough of
So I’ll tell you something
This could be love because
I’ve had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it’s the truth
And I owe it all to you
‘Cause I had the time of my life
And I’ve searched through every open door
Till I’ve found the truth
And I owe it all to you
With my body and soul
I want more than you’ll ever know
So we’ll just let it go
Don’t be afraid to lose control
Yes I know what’s on your mind
When you say:
‘Stay with me tonight’
Just remember
You’re the one thing
I can’t get enough of
So I’ll tell you something
I’ve had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it’s the truth
And I owe it all to you
‘Cause I had the time of my life
And I’ve searched through every open door
Till I’ve found the truth
And I owe it all to you
(Instrumental)
Now I’ve had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
(Never felt this way)
Yes I swear it’s the truth
And I owe it all to you
I had the time of my life
And I’ve searched through every open door
Till I’ve found the truth
And I owe it all to you
I’ve had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it’s the truth
And I owe it all to you”.

Later…
That Night…
Both InuYasha and Kagome lay in bed, Kagome’s head resting against her husband’s bare chest.
“InuYasha?”, she asks.
“Yeah? What’s wrong?”
“What are you doing?”
“Thinking”.
“About the future?”
“Yes…”.
“I’m wondering what the future has in-store for us too”, Kagome says.
“Let’s not worry about the future, how about we focus on the here and now”, he smirks, pinning her underneath himself and wildly kissing her on the lips.
“InuYasha…!”, she gasps.
