Chapter Thirteen
The rest of the week flew by quickly and before Kagome knew it, it was the day of the wedding. Since Sango was helping Itsaku with her wedding dress at the church, Rin was helping Kagome. Though she had lived in the same house as Rin for a week, Kagome still didn’t know how to act around her.
Rin ran a comb through Kagome’s long black hair as Kagome sat in front of a vanity, watching her. She had put her dress and sweater on. The sweater was what Kagome was grateful for. It wasn’t one of those old granny-looking ones, as Sango had called them, instead it was more like a jacket. It had thin material and it ended right below her breasts. It went well with her sky blue dress.
When Rin was done combing out her hair, she slightly patted Kagome on the shoulders. “Alright! Now turn around so I start on your makeup.” she instructed as Kagome turned around shyly.
Rin seemed to notice because she said, “Relax Kagome, it’s not like I’ve never used makeup before. I know what I’m doing.” Kagome couldn’t help but smile at her. She was simply glowing and it wasn’t even her wedding day . . . it must have had something to do with the newest addition to her family.
Kagome let her shoulders relax as she thought about the little boy who got excited each time he saw his new mother and loved to bug his uncle any chance he could. “So, huh Rin, I take it Shippo feels more at home now?” Kagome asked feeling the silence had gone on long enough.
Rin pulled out a tube of mascara and started to unscrew the top. “Oh yeah. The little guy is practically in love with the place. I will say, I was really worried when Sesshomaru first found out about him though.” she said as she swiped the mascara wand across Kagome’s right eyelashes. “You wouldn’t believe how mad he was! You would have thought that he had no clue that I was going to adopt him!”
Rin was about to swipe the other eye, but Kagome pulled back a little confused. “But I thought he didn’t know?”
Rin looked a little taken aback, but then her expression changed to thoughtful one. “Oh, well, I didn’t tell him exactly that I was adopting him, but I did tell him that we should think about adopting since he didn’t want to have a baby waking us up in the middle of the night. It’s not my fault that he doesn’t know me well enough to know that I act on impulses. Besides, I wasn’t planning on adopting anyone that day . . . but when I saw Shippo sitting all by himself . . . I just had to take him home.”
Kagome smiled and Rin went back to fixing her makeup. Making it so no one would recognize her bruises. Kagome felt content until Rin asked, “So what’s going on between you and InuYasha? If you don’t mind me asking.” Kagome felt her face heat up, but she couldn’t move away since Rin was in the middle of putting on eye-shadow. “Oh my Kagome, if you keep this up I won’t have to put blush on you! All I asked was what was going on with you and InuYasha. You two seem pretty close.”
Rin’s blush comment only made Kagome’s face brighten more. “We-we’re friends! That’s all! I mean, there’s nothing going on between us.” Kagome said a little too quickly.
Rin let out a bubbly laugh. “Kagome, it’s obvious that you like him and it’s written all over InuYasha’s face when he looks at you.” she said put the eye-shadow container on the vanity.
Kagome bit on her bottom lip at the news of InuYasha having feelings for her. “InuYasha doesn’t like me. Not like that anyway.”
“And what makes you say that?” Rin asked as she got close to Kagome’s face and started putting on eyeliner. “It’s there, sweetie, you just have to know what to look for.”
“But I don’t know what to look for!” Kagome blurted out. “I wouldn’t know what to look for even if you told me. Besides what would InuYasha see in me? He knows what I’ve been through. Why would he want to involve himself in that?”
“Looks to me as if he already has. Isn’t that why you’re living at our house? Because InuYasha didn’t want you living at your father’s house?” Rin asked and Kagome didn’t have a clue as to what say. “ I hope you don’t mind that I know all this. It’s just that with Sesshomaru being your lawyer and me being his secretary . . . well I usually know what’s going on.
“That’s alright. I don’t mind that you know. In fact, I already guessed that you knew.” Kagome replied as Rin finished up on her eyeliner.
“Well, I definitely think you and InuYasha should hookup. There’s been something different about InuYasha ever since he meet you. And I’m not talking about his temper. No, it’s something about his attitude. I think he thinks you’re his responsibility. That he has to make sure you stay out of harms way.” Rin said with a smile.
Kagome couldn’t help but feel spectacle. This was never something she thought she’d every have to deal with. Could InuYasha really like her like that? And what’s more . . . could she really let herself, after all these years of solitude, fall for InuYasha?
“Well, just let me put some blush on ya and you’ll be ready to go.” Rin said bringing Kagome out of her thoughts. Kagome looked over at her and nodded.

“Where are they? We’re going to be late if they don’t hurry up!” InuYasha said irritably to Miroku as he looked in the hall mirror and fixed his tie. Shippo was on the floor playing with a few toys.
“We’re coming! Would ya keep your pants on!” Rin said as she walked down the stairs by herself.
InuYasha looked behind her, trying to find Kagome, but with no luck. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion. “Where’s Kagome?” he asked and Rin looked from him, smiled a little, then looked back up the stairs. InuYasha followed her gaze and the sight he saw made him catch his breath.
Kagome stood at the top of the stairs with her hands intertwined in front of her. She smiled shyly at everyone who was now looking up at her with shocked expressions, but the one that caught her attention the most was InuYasha’s.
She slowly made her way down the stairs and took a place standing next to Rin. She placed a reassuring hand on Kagome’s arm, helping her relax a little. “Doesn’t she look gorgeous, guys?” she asked with a little excitement in her voice.
“Of course she does,” Miroku inquired. “but she never had to dress up to look it either.”
Kagome smiled. “Thanks Miroku, . . . I’ve never been this dressed up before.” she admitted looking down at her feet.
“You look great Kagome.” InuYasha said finally getting over his state of shock. Kagome smiled at him and InuYasha felt his face heat up. He looked away quickly pretending to look at his watch before saying, “Well, I think we should be heading that way. Sango will have a field day if we’re late.”
Rin clearly remembering the time franticly agreed. “Oh my gosh! You’re right! We’ve got to be going!” she said as she grabbed her purse and turned toward Shippo. “Shippo dear, are you ready?”
“Yep!” Shippo exclaimed as he jumped off the floor.
Rin licked her thumb and hurridly fixed his hair. “Well, then I think we’re ready to go.”
They all walked outside and started getting into the limo that was waiting for them. Kagome slid in frist and was immediately followed in by Shippo. “You look pretty, Miss Kagome.” he said in a bashful voice as the others got in.
Kagome grinned and reached over to playfully pinch his check. “Thanks Shippo and I must say that you look simply dashing in your little tux.”
“I don’t know. It’s itchy and I don’t like it!” he whined.
“But Honey you look so adorable in it.” his mother interjected.
“Then why do I have to wear these shoes? They make my feet hurt.” Shippo asked raising one of his feet into the air.
“Because they go with the tux.”
“Would you shut up, runt?” InuYasha said getting a headache from the argument.
“Now InuYasha, do you have to be so blunt? They were having a mother/son bonding moment.” Miroku said, “It’s crucial for them. Seeing as how they haven’t known each other that long.”
“Keh.” InuYasha responded as he crossed his arms over his chest. “When did you become a psychiatrist?”
Kagome watched as the conversation went down hill from there until they arrived at the church.
When they entered the church, Sango, who was already in her bridesmaid dress, greeted them. It was a shimmering lavender gown with flowing lines, had spaghetti straps, and a gathering of folds across the bodice that dipped down and moved fluidly when she did.
“Sango my love,” exclaimed Miroku as he drew her into his arms and spun around with her. “You look beautiful!”
Sango felt giddy when Miroku set her back down, but not before placing a quick kiss on her lips. “Thanks.” she said quietly then turned toward the rest of the group . . . and then spotting Kagome. “Whoa! Kagome look at you! You look awesome!”
Kagome felt her face heat up. “Th-thanks Sango, but you look much better than I do.”
“Well of course I have to look good,” she said teasingly, “but you look good naturally.”
“I would hardly call all this makeup I’m wearing nature.” Kagome replied.
“Ladies as much as I hate to interrupt this conversation, don’t you think we should be getting to our seats now?” Miroku asked hoping his girlfriend wouldn’t pummel him for interrupting them.
Sango blinked at him for a minute before smiling. “Right. It’s this way.” she said as she lead them toward their seats.
“Thank you Sango, and you do look lovely dear.” Rin said as she said down.
Sango nodded in thanks before heading back to the dressing room to check on Itsaku.
As they waited for the wedding to start, everyone chatted with one another about trivial things. Only Kagome didn’t join the conversations. She was miles away in her own thoughts. Worries about the next day. About seeing her father for the first time in a week. How was she ever going to be brave enough to do it?
It wasn’t until InuYasha nudged her, that she realized that the wedding had started. Sango was walking down the aisle and when she passed by Miroku, Kaogme saw her wink at him.
When Sango was in spot at the altar, the music that etroducing the bride started playing. Kagome stood with the rest of them and watched Itsaku, in her stunning wedding dress, walk down the aisle.
Kagome was filled with envy as she watched Itsaku and Sango’s father look at each other with so much love. A smile came to her face as it dawned on her that she might get to marry the man of her dreams after all.
She jumped a little when she felt InuYasha squeeze her hand the slightest bit, but she squeezed it back none the less.
~ * ~
The reception was held in a big room at the back of the church and the way the wedding planners had it decorated took Kagome’s breathe away. There were pink, purple, and yellow streamers everywhere and tables all had heart shaped sugar cookies in the center of them.
The wedding cake at the back corner was perched beautifully on the round table and Kagome just loved how they had a banner behind it saying “Congratulations!”.
When everyone was seated, the DJ introduced the new Mr. and Mrs. Fujie. All of their guests cheered as they made their way to the dance floor. The DJ started playing the first song they would dance to as Mr. and Mrs. Fujie.
Kagome had a goofy smile on as she watched the couple dance. As the dance ended, it went into another song for Itsuka and her father. Then after that was the song for Sango’s father and his mother, but since Sango’s grandmother was no longer alive, Sango took her place.
It brought tears to her eyes as she watched Sango dance with her father. Knowing that even if Kagome got married, she would never get a father/daughter dance.
When Kagome couldn’t stand to watch anymore, she excused herself and went to the counter and ordered a coke. Something that would take her mind off of her father.
As the song ended, Kagome sat down at a lone table as she watched her friends dance, eat, and talk with people they’ve probably only met one other time in their lives. Kagome couldn’t help but feel envious of how comfortable they were with practical strangers, but it was because of them that she was going to have a change at having a normal life. She was at least thankful for that.
She was so engrossed in watching Sango go from one guest to the next that she was oblivious to the person, who pulled out a chair and sat down, next to her.
Kagome jumped as the person said, “You look like you’re having fun.”
“Oh, InuYasha, you startled me.” Kagome said as calmed herself down.
“Why are you just sitting here?” he asked, “Go have fun. It’s a party.”
Kagome looked away from him and down at the table. “I’m not comfortable with partying. I don’t know anyone here.”
She heard InuYasha laugh, which made her look back up at him. “You know Miroku and Sango and you know me. Who cares about anybody else? Just have a good time.” he said, then he grinned at her. “Go dance.”
“What?”
“Go dance. Go out there and have a great time.” InuYasha told her as a fast song started playing.
“Uh I don’t think that’s such a great idea, InuYasha. I don’t know how to dance to this kind of song.”
InuYasha started at her for a moment, then said, “Do you know how to dance to a slow one?” Kagome blushed, but nodded anyway. “Alright then, let’s go ask the DJ for one.”
InuYasha took Kagome’s hand and dragged her towards the DJ booth. The DJ looked up at them and smiled. “What can I do for you two?”
InuYasha quickly glanced at Kagome then leaned toward the DJ and whisper a song to him. He nodded then InuYasha brought Kagome out on the dance floor.
The last song faded away and the song Amazed by Lonestar enter the room through the speakers.
Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams
InuYasha held Kagome close as the music played. He couldn’t explain how much Kagome meant to him. Even if he had only know her for a short while, he was still amazed by how much she had been through.
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I want to spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you
Kagome’s heart was thumping inside her chest and she was sure InuYasha could feel it. She kept her head against his chest and listened to the words.
The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh, it feels like the first time, every time
I want to spend the whole night in your eyes
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I want to spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you
InuYasha gripped Kagome tighter as the song neared its end. He wanted to stay like this forever, but he knew if would have to end. He took in Kagome’s scent as the song ended.
Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I want to spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you
Kagome pulled away from InuYasha a bit and looked into his eyes that held so many emotions. “InuYasha?” she asked uncertain of what to think, but instead of answering her question. InuYasha pulled her lips against his.
Kagome didn’t know what to do at first, but then felt her body relax. She gave into the kiss, her first kiss, and wrapped her arms around his neck.
When they pulled apart, Kagome smiled and leaned against his chest. They continued to dance that way, even when the song changed to a fast one.
~ * ~
Miroku and Sango watched as InuYasha and Kagome danced. “I’m happy for them, Miroku.” Sango said squeezed his hand.
Miroku nodded. “Me too. They deserve this. Especially Kagome.”
“Yeah. They do.” Sango said with a slight sigh.
Miroku with a grin pulled Sango close. “You know who else deserves something?” he asked.
Sango smiled up at him. “And who would that be?”
Miroku kissed her lips gently, then pulled away. “You.” he said then pulled her onto the dance floor to join their friends.
The rest of the week flew by quickly and before Kagome knew it, it was the day of the wedding. Since Sango was helping Itsaku with her wedding dress at the church, Rin was helping Kagome. Though she had lived in the same house as Rin for a week, Kagome still didn’t know how to act around her.

The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me
Baby you surround me
You touch every place in my heart
Oh, it feels like the first time, every time
I want to spend the whole night in your eyes
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I want to spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you
InuYasha gripped Kagome tighter as the song neared its end. He wanted to stay like this forever, but he knew if would have to end. He took in Kagome’s scent as the song ended.
Every little thing that you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better
I want to spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby, I'm amazed by you
Kagome pulled away from InuYasha a bit and looked into his eyes that held so many emotions. “InuYasha?” she asked uncertain of what to think, but instead of answering her question. InuYasha pulled her lips against his.
Kagome didn’t know what to do at first, but then felt her body relax. She gave into the kiss, her first kiss, and wrapped her arms around his neck.
When they pulled apart, Kagome smiled and leaned against his chest. They continued to dance that way, even when the song changed to a fast one.

Miroku and Sango watched as InuYasha and Kagome danced. “I’m happy for them, Miroku.” Sango said squeezed his hand.
Miroku nodded. “Me too. They deserve this. Especially Kagome.”
“Yeah. They do.” Sango said with a slight sigh.
Miroku with a grin pulled Sango close. “You know who else deserves something?” he asked.
Sango smiled up at him. “And who would that be?”
Miroku kissed her lips gently, then pulled away. “You.” he said then pulled her onto the dance floor to join their friends.
