Despite the burning, humid heat of summer, the wedding was beautiful There were about one-hundred people present, including those participating. It was performed in a lovely area in front of a forest. The scenery was beautiful, almost untouched by technology and putrid air and smog. The sky had never been bluer, Kagome thought. Shaking herself from her observations, she focused herself on the ceremony.

 

She took the arm of the tall man in front of her. She blushed as a few guests craned their neck to see her walking down the aisle with him.

 

`Why do I feel so pale and insignificant near this man? she though. Oh, because I am.' She giggled nervously to herself. He was Inuyasha's older brother, but only one year older, making him 19. He was so beautiful. His long silver hair, deep amber eyes, flawless skin, they were all unique features, but so perfect combined. He seemed to have a rugged edge to him, but it was hidden beneath polished manners.

 

Kagome had only met Sesshomaru at the rehearsal, and there had only been two. They hadn't had much time to converse, due to everyone's hectic schedules. She wasn't sure she could bring herself to talk to this man, anyway.

 

She took a deep breath, and stood to the right at the front of the ceremony. She was happy she could be there for her sister. Inuyasha winked at her, encouraging her like he would a kid sister. Actually, she thought, she would be his kid sister in about five minutes. His kid sister-in-law. She sniffed. She would cry, she told herself, but only if the tears were from joy, and not resenting this union.

 

She smiled and thought of her sister and Inuyasha's joy. She wanted what was best. She knew this was the path they should take.

 

Speaking of paths to take, the wedding march came on, and Kikyou slowly, but radiantly walked down the aisle. She had linked her arm to Inuyasha's father's. He was a kind man, though he seemed a bit gruff sometimes.

 

He led her to his son, and took his place on the left. The youkai in the room could smell the tears of many people. It was a very emotional moment for them all.

 

They said thier vows, and Inuyasha lifted the veil. He kissed his bride, and that was that.

 

Kagome thought this was what would hurt. It didn't. She smiled to herself. A weight had been lifted from her heart. She could almost feel the negative energy being dispersed. She was elated. For her own freedom, and the joy of the two people she loved. She had been expecting the worst, but had only been relieved.

 

Inuyasha picked up Kikyou bridal style, and carried her off to the reception.

 

Kagome and the others were following, that is, she was, until the heel of her shoe broke. “Darn it!” she muttered. She kicked her foot out from underneath the frothy light blue dress, trying to see the damage of her shoe.

 

She was having quite a time. Holding her small boquet in one hand, and trying to pick up her skirt in the other, she somehow fell over.

 

Sitting down there on the ground, she began to think of how not to overreact. `I'm not going to panic, I'm not going to scream.' she repeated as a mantra.

 

She began to notice how pretty the sky was. How the sky was totally cloudless, well, except for that little silver wisp....Wait, that wasn't a cloud. She tilted her head back a little more to see what was behind her.

 

“I've fallen and I can't get up.” she said, trying to crack a joke. Sesshomaru only smirked. Where did she find the courage to talk to him, much less kid around? she thought, bewildered with the words that came out of her mouth.

 

“This is why men don't wear heels. How else would we prove we're not the weaker sex?” he laughed. He gripped her arms and hauled her up. She had managed to wriggle her shoe off.

 

“Thanks.” she muttered, as he helped her out. “Well, we only wear them to lure men in, to talk care of us `weaker sex'.” she said. They both smiled, looking at each other.

 

“So, do I need to carry you to the reception like my brother did Kikyou, or is your ankle alright?” he asked. He finally straightened his posture from bending down to help her.Even standing, she was much shorter than him.

 

 

“I'm okay.” she said. She didn't like to look like a helpless bufoon in front of anyone.

 

She had a small limp, but it only hurt a little. She probably pulled a muscle. She started to the reception area, a long way off.

 

Sesshomaru took her arm, lending her support, and the went to the canopied area together.

 

They sat by each other, parallel to their siblings, though that was how the seating arrangements had been made. He pulled out her seat for her, and she sat down, a bit surprised by the gallant treatment. Inuyasha once told her that Sesshomaru was the stiff in their family, cold, but polite. He also told her he was not much of a conversationalist, though as Inuyasha phrased it, `he won't talk much at the wedding. It's `cause of the stick up his ass.' With that only that information about him, she was dumbfounded at his joking manner when he was assisting her.

 

He sat down next to her, and they watched as Inuyasha and Kikyou began to dance to their wedding song. The crowd had gathered around them, but from the table, Kagome and Sesshomaru could still see the swaying couple. The look of absolute happiness on their faces was infectious.

 

 

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do

Oh the morning sun in all it's glory
Greets the day with hope and comfort too
And you fill my life with laughter
You can make it better
Ease my troubles that's what you do

There's a love that's divine
And it's yours and it's mine
Like the sun at the end of the day
We should give thanks and pray to the one

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do

There's a love that's divine
And it's yours and it's mine
And it shines like the sun
At the end of the day we will give thanks
And pray to the one

Have I told you lately that I love you
Have I told you there's no one above you
Fill my heart with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do

Take away my sadness
Fill my life with gladness
Ease my troubles that's what you do
Fill my life with gladness
Take away my sadness
Ease my troubles that's what you do.

 

 

Most of the women were crying in the room by the end of the song, and Kagome was a statistic. Sesshomaru gave a small smile to himself. The young girl was easily emotional.

 

Another song came on, and Kikyou and Inuyasha came over to Kagome and Sesshomaru.

 

“Well, Sesshomaru, you're my brother now. Would you do me the honor of dancing with me?” she asked warmly. It was actually the father and daughter song, and while Inuyasha's father had mostly taken over the fatherly role, he was dancing with his wife.

 

“And may I ask my new little sister to join me out on the dance floor?” he asked, in a sweeping bow. He smiled at her.

 

Sesshomaru rose from his seat, and bowed deeply in front of Kikyou. “It would be my pleasure.” They waited for Kagome and Inuyasha.

 

Kagome stood.“Well, I hurt my foot a little, but I suppose I can hobble well enough out there.” she joked.

 

The two couples headed towards the dane floor, where more and more couples were beginning to twirl and sway.

 

Kagome was in Inuyasha's arms. `To think the boy I once loved is married to my sister.' she thought. “I'm happy you're my brother.” she told him, looking into his warm eyes. She meant it too. She was enjoying this feeling of happiness. Reveling in the freedom from resentment. Kagome felt the need to be completely open in her approval of the wedding.

 

“Well thanks for the thumbs up after the wedding.” he laughed. “I know, kid, and I'm happy you're my family now too.”

 

 

 

 

Well, tell me what you think. I really don't like flames, but if something bothers you that much with the story, go ahead and tell me. I may not change what you don't like, but there are over 11,000 other stories available for you to read. Yes, I am going to post this on fanfiction.net, as soon as the three day waiting period is over.

Well, I know that not a lot happened in that chapter, but the wedding will continue in the next chapter. I just wanted to sort through Kagome's feelings in this one mostly.

I hope you liked it, and if you didn't, I apologize.
