What Could Go Wrong? Right!?
A/n: enjoy this Chapter! And wiseOldOwl2 will get their Request before I post for this again.
Sango walked down the hill toward her groom as she tried to calm her nerves. They were going to do the wedding the way Kagome had taught them. The bride was escorted to her groom signifying the journey they traveled to becoming a loving couple. The groom stood waiting for her showing patience and trust for his bride. The only problem was the absence of Kagome to tell them how to set it up. So plan B was send Inuyasha to the future and have him ask for a book that explained it. That work except that the Tachi couldn't understand half the "modern" words. So they Improvised a little. They did the walking down the hill. They had the "modern dress" and had a "path". Miroku was at the end and Inuyasha was to help with the Demon Ceremony. Her dress was one of the more simple that Kagomes' mom had sent back with Inuyasha. A sash over her head in place of the "veil" and Kaede giving her away in place of a male family member. She would then perform the Human side of the ceremony. All in all, it was going well until Inuyasha forgot the bouquet and then left to get it. Usually the bride chose flowers that meant, Devotion, Love, and Unity. While he was gone Shippo started to twitch at the wait.
Shippo smelled Kagome and Rin before the other Youkai and started to shift from one paw to to the other in anticipation. When he had noticed Sesshomaru's scent mixed in so had Inuyasha. Inuyasha ignored it at first but wanted to get the Mating done before he showed up and did the blessing himself. Yeah he didn't mind Sesshomaru coming and preforming a Mating Ceremony, but this was probably the only chance he got to do it. "Hey could we hurry this a little? Not to rush ya but I don't have that much time to tell ya how to do the Mating without those talismans interfering."
Shippo's skeptic stare frustrated him yet it also served as a reminder of how close the coming group were.
`-'`-'`-'`-'`-'`-'
Okay the wedding couldn't go wrong. Right? I mean it's not like Inuyasha wouldn't be there and able to help. Oh how wrong she was, Kagome held Shippo as she surveyed the damage. Inuyasha pinned to the tree by an unconscious Kirara, Sango holding Miroku up, and the wedding site torn to pieces. Sango looked happy despite that. "So you're done with the ceremony?"
"No but I am mated now." Sango said before hefting Miroku and turning toward the hut.
"Mama? Why did Inuyasha do that? Is it cause his dumb?"
"No Shippo, I think its cause his Brother is here"
"Half"
"I stand corrected. Half-brother."
Sesshomaru was unimpressed by the antics. He could smell what happened and while Inyasha had done the right thing, he wasn't strong enough to contain the energy that emitted from the new Mate bond. That was where he could have helped his younger Half-brother.
"Hn." Carrying Rin to Kaede's side he silently implored her to cheek the girls condition. The soft smile in return reassured him that the young Miko had healed their young ward. The only thing was how to raise Rin now that she was an unknown Youkai. Her scent hadn't settled yet so she still smelled Human. For that matter the young Miko was also an unknown.
"What ails ye mind Milord? Does thee wish to have the young Rin worry about ye?" Kaede spoke softly and caringly, her smile one of a grandmotherly concern. Any other human to do the same would have been removed from existence for the familiarity. Kaede had kept his secret safe for over twenty years, and he hers. In fact it was probably closer to 50. "Miko will you teach Rin about what she now is? I wish for her to know about our heritage before presenting her before the family." At her nod he moved to Inuyasha, and removed the Fire-Neko. Seeing no major wounds he moved back to Kagome. Unable to help himself he snaked the Moko-moko around her waist. A clear claim to any Youkai that dared to question her position at his side. Shippo looked up and growled at the claim. He did not like the familiarity with his Oka-san.
'Interesting. The Kit is willing to fight us for the right to protect his Oka-san' The beast mused. Sesshomaru stared the kit down not willing to cause harm to her son. The fact he had shown such disrespect and was still in the fighting mood spoke loudly of how much he loved the young Miko-Youkai. "Kit. Come."
Removing himself from Kagomes arms Shippo followed the DaiYoukai. Kagome looked at them and hoped Sesshomaru didn't hurt the Kit. Growling unconsciously she sent a warning glare at the DaiYoukai. The meaning clear, 'Hurt my son and I erase you'. Bemused he raised an eyebrow, before turning with the Kit in tow. Shippo had his head held high. After they were out of earshot He asked what was on his mind. "Lord Sesshomaru? Why are you here? And why did you take Kagome?"
"First, Kit. What are you called?" Sesshomaru asked as he kept going toward the Bone-Eaters Well.
"Shippo, Sir." He replied nervous that Sesshomaru would steal his mother away and leave him alone again.
"Very well, Shippo in answer to your questions. This Sesshomaru is here to ask you if you will allow Us to court your mother. This Sesshomaru "took" Kagome to ask her about her bloodline. And because our beast has chosen her as ours." Sesshomaru answered turning to look the young Kit in the eye, as a man to a precious person of the one he loved. "This Sesshomaru also asks that you consider becoming a part of my house. I would teach you what you have not had the chance to yet. You would receive a proper Nine-tail tutor to teach you your kinds ways.
The Kit watched him for signs of a lie as well the intention of the High Lord before him. Satisfied that at the minimum Lord Sesshomaru did want him as well, and the he wanted Kagome on some level that could end in love for her. He also knew that Sesshomaru wouldn't lie to Kagome like Inuyasha had.
"Very well then. You may court Kagome, but know that This is Only The Beginning.
