Ch 13: Little Wedding Crasher

The Day of the Wedding

Izayoi scuttled around in hurry, pulling and grabbing at everything she could get her hands on. Midoriko walked into her room taking in the sight of the half dressed Izayoi going crazy right before her eyes. A small chuckle gave her presence away. Izayoi flung herself around to face her.

"Izayoi are you alright?" Midoriko said with a hint of genuine worry behind her laughing façade.

"Yeah….." There was a short pause and Izayoi took the silence to really think. "Yeah I'm ok Midoriko. I dunno, I guess I'm just having the usual pre-wedding jitters you know?" She ended with a small chuckle.

Midoriko took in the sight of her for a second. "You sure you're alright?" Izayoi just nodded and went about what she was doing before.

Midoriko raised an eyebrow at her and then finally just shrugged. Well if you're ok then let's go already! We have to get you ready! Izayoi and Midoriko ran out the door and headed off to get her hair done.

In the airport at about the same time Inutaisho sat with his younger cousin Myoga in the café awaiting the flight with Izayoi's mother and sister to come in. It was due any minute now.

"So tell me Inutaisho…..you think this one will work out?" Myoga broke the silence that filled the gaps in between their sips. Inutaisho set the coffee on the table in front of him looking Myoga in the eyes with all intensity.

"I believe in it more than I do my own life." He stared for a moment longer and then looked down to his cup as he brought it back to his mouth. Myoga blinked a few times before reacting.

"Wow" He said this flatly. "After your ex I thought you'd be a bachelor forever." Inutaisho shook off the seriousness and just squinted at Myoga with a questioning look and a slight grin.

"Myoga you can be such a jerk sometimes you know that?" They both chuckled aloud before an announcement broke their laughter. Izayoi's mother and sister were here.

They met them in the main lobby and greeted them with hugs and smiles. They had never met in person but they had talked before. Kaguya had an attitude as usual. She was always somewhat snobbish and a bit of a bully. She was very much the opposite of Izayoi and often jealous. Her mother however was much more like her he noticed.

She was always very sweet and somewhat neurotic. All in all she had a very kind heart. Nobody really understood why her parents would have gotten a divorce. They both were so loved and seemed a lot alike.

They all made small talk and made their way to the car and headed over to Izayoi's father's where Inutaisho would get ready.

Meanwhile at her father's the children were already almost ready as was her father Izo. "Papa Izo do you think Ima be a good flower girl?!" Sango talked a loud and proud as she could. Izo chuckled with a smile. "Oh yes dear I think you will do wonderfully. And you are just so beautiful in that dress." Sango smiled brightly with a childish shyness about her. Sesshomaru peeked around the couch in his suite. He seemed embarrassed or maybe just shy. Izo walked up behind him and grabbed him up by his waste and flung him in the air as he used to do Izayoi. Sesshomaru's shyness quickly disappeared and he just laughed as Izo tickled him. As everything seemed to be going great, Sesshomaru accidentally kicked an old vase and of course it broke. This quickly made him feel bad and he stayed quiet for the rest of the time over there. Izo tried to reassure him that he wasn't mad, but in vain.

The time after her mother Kita and Kaguya arrived though went by somewhat awkwardly. Kita wasn't much for being around Izo though he tried his best to maker her happy. Kaguya was the same regardless of where she was. Inutaisho got ready mostly with the help of Izo and Sango. Sesshomaru and Kaguya mainly sulked though for different reasons.

As for Kita she spent most of her time finding flaws in anything and anyone. This was just the small bit of time she was over there. She and Kaguya were picked up later by Midoriko and went back to Izayoi's. It was long enough to make everyone miserable though. She had acted like a totally different woman around him. Inutaisho couldn't help but wonder what had happened and if this day would go over so easily.

He shrugged it off and just focused on Izayoi. She made him so happy. He only hoped he did the same for her.

Back at Izayoi's, Kita was her old self again and Kaguya was even worse than before now being around her younger sister. Izayoi admired herself in the mirror as they finished accessorizing her hair and the details of her makeup.

Rin was there as well and she was so overjoyed. She actually did Izayoi's makeup. She had learned a lot in college about the art and was so close to graduating that Izayoi figured she could trust her enough with her face not to make her look like a clown. She wasn't a big fan of large amounts of makeup and Rin actually did beautifully. Izayoi was very happy with how she looked and everything was going so smooth….too smooth.

Finally the moment came. Everyone was packed into a small church just outside of town.

Izayoi stood in the back waiting for her cue. Everything seemed so surreal. She fanned herself as the nerves got her worked up and over heated.

She was so nervous and so many thoughts were racing through her head.

What if she messed up? What if she made herself look like an idiot? What if she was the only one that thought her makeup looked good? What if her dress malfunctioned? What if her parents didn't like Inutaisho like they said? What if she tripped and fell? What if Inutaisho wasn't happy with her? What if she wasn't what he needed? What if she wasn't what he wanted? What if this was all something that he'd regret? What if Sango was unhappy in any way? What if she wasn't the right kind of mother for Sesshomaru? What if neither of them liked having a permanent sibling?

Thus was the mind of a neurotic woman.

She put her hands on her face and shook her head trying to clear her thoughts.

She then heard the music that was to carry her to her love and bind her to him for the rest of their lives…..or so she hoped. She took in a deep breath and smiled as her father came to her side. She lifted her arm as to let him wrap his around it, and that's when it hit her. She wondered when this would come. Of course it would be now, at this so perfect time. She stopped. The bouquet hit the ground as her hand flew up to her mouth and her eyes widened in sudden discomfort.

She flew off in a mad dash to the bathroom. Her father stood, confused for a moment. Inutaisho, nervous and waiting, furrowed his eyebrows together when he didn't see Izayoi come down the isle. He looked curiously over at Myoga, his dear cousin and best man, and then glanced to Izayoi's mother and sister sitting in the pews. He then spotted Izayoi's father coming around the corner and motioning for him to come to the back.

"Hey Izo. What's going on?" Inutaisho looked around nervously for Izayoi. "Is everything ok? Where's Izayoi?"

Izo simply chuckled a bit and put his hand up as if to stop him from talking. "Too many questions at once son; don't worry. I think my daughter is just having some nervousness. She's in the bathroom. I wouldn't bother her just yet. She'll be fine in a minute." Inutaisho nodded with a look of worry. Izo just sighed with a smile. "You really love her don't you?"

Inutaisho looked at him in surprise and then lit up with pride. "Yes sir. I really do."

Just then Izayoi slowly staggered out of the bathroom and walked over to Inutaisho lazily laying her head on his chest. "I'm so sorry my love…"

At this point, Izo had already walked back out to inform everyone that everything was fine and they'd be resuming shortly.

Inutaisho just smiled. "Its ok babe, we can just resume now…." Izayoi then put her finger on his mouth, still without looking up at him.

"Inutaisho……I think I'm pregnant..
