The ceremony went off without a hitch, just like it had been practiced. She got all teary eyed and stupid just like during the rehearsal. So did he because she had. So did half the crowd. The whole youkai side was wet eyed too. Even Sesshou.

 

InuYasha's eyes dried up quick though because his brother was the funniest fucking thing he had ever seen. This modern wedding bullshit had been worth it.

 

The reception was held immediately afterwards in the very same courtyard. The youkai sitting on one side, the humans on the other and never intermingling. Poor Mrs. Higurashi fluttered back and forth trying to be a good hostess, Sesshoumaru introducing her to the dog, wolf and horse clans.

 

If she had thought being married into the “bark bark woof woof” inu clan had been bad, nothing prepared her for the whole zoo. (She was quoted as saying “My grandson's a fox?” when introduced to Shippo, who didn't have a stitch of dog or human in him. “Yes, I am rather sexy aren't I?” was his reply, quickly followed by a smack in the head by Kirara.)

 

They sat together side by side holding hands at the table of honor, Kagome's friends lined down the side of the tables as her bride's maids and gossiping over who the blond was. Whispering into her ear, InuYasha caught her up on everything.

 

“Just stop, InuYasha. I don't want to hear anymore of it. Let's just try to get through this so we can go on our honeymoon.” She held her hand up to his mouth and almost covered it.

 

“What's a honeymoon?”

 

“That's where you and I get to go stay in some really fancy place and never leave the bed.”

 

“Can we leave now?” he asked anxiously. Getting out of here would be a blessed relief. Getting her in bed, marvelous.

 

“Not until we get all the presents,” she chimed.

 

Nifty....presents AND sex too. “Hey..this modern wedding shit is pretty alright.” InuYasha sat up and gave her a kiss, only stopping when he realized the whole room was watching them again. That part he didn't really like.

 

Sesshoumaru stood and toasted them, saying some smack about love. InuYasha laughed even harder. His brother, knowing anything about love. What a crock!

 

When the daiyoukai sat down, he stared over to Akanesuji, who only stood up and pulled the woman with her. Giggling they ran into the temple building holding hands, running off to do something naughty. Sesshoumaru fumed. Then he fidgeted. Then he slammed the table and rose, ready to go beat that woman's ass.

 

“Sesshoumaru! Sitdown!” Kagome said firmly, hoping that he still had that second set of beads on. The dailyoukai's ass fell backwards, hitting him hard into the stone walkways of the courtyard and he gave a harsh yelp. The youkai group bust out laughing, again the humans were horrified and InuYasha gawked not believing his eyes.

 

“What the hell is going on here Kagome?” he demanded. He wanted to know if she had something going to too with his brother, since every-fucking-one-else seemed to too.

 

“I made them for Akane,” she knowingly replied, expecting his reaction.

 

“Oh.”

 

Sesshoumaru snarled and cussed, throwing a mighty fit on the floor. Akane popped her head out from around the temple door and pointed at him laughing. “You are not going to ruin my special day with a fist fight,” Kagome said to him, sipping at her drink. InuYasha smiled proudly at his wife. What a woman! Not only had she subjugated him, but that damn bastard as well.

 

Why hadn't she done that before?

 

Mrs.Higrashi came up to them and told her it was time to go out and dance, and the two meandered out onto the large open space to the side. It was when InuYasha got pushed out of the way by Sesshoumaru that he started to punch at his brother with all his human strength. “We rehearsed this, remember Yasha? I'm taking her father's place?” Sesshoumaru reminded, holding him back with ease.

 

“Oh yeah.” The hanyou tapped his foot then went back to his seat.

 

The demon held Kagome gently and looked at her with frustration and sadness in his eyes. “Do you see now Kagome? We have to fix this.”

 

“No. You have to fix this. It's all your fault in the first place.”

 

“You've got to go back and tell her the truth.”

 

“The truth? She already knows it. You fucked Kagura. Plain and simple”.

 

“That's not what I mean. Akanesuji was mad at me because I didn't take Kagura as my second wife. She felt I dishonored her by taking a lover. She didn't know I would have married her if I could have.”

 

“You really loved her?”

 

“She was so fragile Kagome. Naraku raped her and she always lived in fear of dying. She never knew what day was going to be her last. I loved her as much as I could have at the time.”

 

“You make me feel sorry for her.”

 

“There are always two sides to every coin. Kagara was not as she appeared.”

 

Kagome studied his face. What a wise and philosophical thing he said. “And what about you. Were you always as you appeared?” she asked, wanting to hear what interesting thing he could impart about himself.

 

Sesshoumaru smiled warmly. “I was younger then.”

 

“And??”

 

“Let's not talk about me. Let's just say that times have changed for all of us.”

 

Kagome laid her head on his chest. “Will InuYasha miss me when I die?” she whispered.

 

Sesshoumaru could not tell her the truth about the future and what special destiny laid in store for her. He crafted his words so they would be purposefully vague, a half truth that would satisfy the moment. “When you left, it hurt him beyond all imagining.” She nodded.

 

Bored, the youkai were mulling about looking for anything to entertain them. After all, there wasn't anything to talk about. That whole past-present-future thing really limited the subject matter. Shippo and Manatsu were threatening a food fight with the wedding cake, sticking their fingers into the icing before it even got cut. Kirara was the new star in Kagome's grandpa's eye. She sat in his lap, patting his head. Everyone was glad when the stupid first dance was over. Now it was their turn to take over the dance floor.

 

And take it over the did. No sooner had InuYasha taken Kagome away from Sesshoumaru when the herd went out, led by Manatsu and Shippo jokingly doing a tango for the entertainment of the crowd.

 

Kagome and InuYasha laughed hard, but this wasn't the only joke of the evening.

 

Their presents...oh my word. Some of the things she and InuYasha got were just...special.

 

A toaster. What in the hell was Kagome going to do with an electric toaster in the feudal era? Shippo had gotten her that one.

 

And another toaster. This second one from Manatsu. The two boys elbowed each other hard over that one.

 

The third toaster from Kirara made Kagome scream.

 

The fourth toaster from Sesshoumaru got thrown.

 

The one from her dad's side got put on the table and smiled at. At least they had no idea.

 

The hair dryers were bad too. All three of them.

 

When it was time to leave and Kagome and InuYasha climbed into the limo waving happily, there was a plain box waiting for them. Written on the envelope was “from Yasha to Kagome”.

 

The two looked around, looking for him but never found his face. He had snuck the box into the car when no one was looking. They sat together staring at it as the lumbering car traveled down narrow Japanese streets towards down town. “Open it already.” InuYasha encouraged, wondering what in the world his future self would get her.

 

She picked off the envelope and opened it slowly, feeling the texture of the heavy cream stationary. The paper inside matched and she touched the creases and folds before opening it up.

 

My beloved Kagome,

I write you though I shouldn't. But hey, I've never been one to do things the right way. I love you so much and I miss you. You always loved me for me and never gave me crap for being different. Thank you for everything. I hope you enjoy what I got you. I know I will.

Forever your dog, Yasha

 

Oh, and BITE REALLY HARD

 

It wasn't the most eloquent letter, but it didn't have to be. It was honest and sincere and for this, Kagome was warmed to a little tear in her eye. She handed the paper over to InuYasha and he slowly read it, his reading ability slow from lack of practice. When he was done he looked over to Kagome with a funny smile on his face. She had peeked into the box was now holding the lid down tight.

 

“What is it?”

 

“Nope. Something for later.”

 

“Come on. What is it?”

 

“Nope. Later.”

 

“When later?”

 

“In the bed.”

 

“I don't get it.”

 

“You will.”

 

Sigh.

 

Sigh back. “Come on Kagome. Let me see.”

 

“If you keep this up, I won't give it you.”

 

InuYasha folded his arms over his chest and pushed back into the seat impatient.
