It's been just over a year since that fateful meeting in Okinawa and I am now back in Tokyo, enjoying the summer. For months Sesshoumaru and I have been getting ready for our wedding which is this evening. Yes, it was sooner than I originally thought I would thought, but hey, when it comes to love, there is no time limit.

Also, having decided that though I love animals very much, Veterinary medicine wasn't really for me. So, shortly after Sesshoumaru's proposal, I transferred to a school in Tokyo. The best part was that the "basic" courses could be studied online and I only had to pop over the university when I needed to take the exams. This way, I was able to be with Sessh as much as possible while deciding what degree I wanted to pursue.

"Come on Kagome!" Sango says as she drags me out of the house. "We're going to be late for you hair appointment. And after that we have to go get your nails done. Then we gotta go to Kouga's house where Ayame is waiting with your makeup artist. Then there are the photos to be taken of you getting ready and…"

"Slow down Sango," I interrupt, "we have plenty of time to get everything done. The ceremony isn't until seven this evening."

"I know, but you're getting married! I'm just so excited."

I smile while I think to myself 'If she's excited now, just wait until she finds out what Miroku's going to do tonight at the reception.' He'd come to me earlier this week to ask if I would mind if he asked Sango to marry him. He was worried that he would be 'stealing my moment' to use his words. All too excitedly, I had agreed that it was a good idea and that I couldn't wait to see her reaction.

"Hello? Earth to Kagome." Sango snaps her fingers in front of my face.

"Sorry…I was just thinking about how exciting tonight is going to be."

"Well," she says as she pushes me into the car, "you can think about it on the way."

:::::::::::::::::

"I do." Sesshoumaru says as he gazes into my eyes.

"And do you, Kagome Marie Higurash, take Sesshoumaru Taisho as your lawful husband until death do you part?"

Smiling, I squeeze his hand. "I do."

The minister smiles, "Then by the power invested in me, I pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride." Somewhere behind me I here Kikyo squeal a little in excitement with Ayame and Sango.

Moving closer together, Sesshoumaru wraps his arms around my waist as I wrap mine around his neck. Leaning down, he places his lips on mine and we share our first kiss as Mr. and Mrs.

:::::::::::::::::

I can't believe I'm actually married. Currently the reception is in full swing. Sango is dancing with Miroku, Inuyasha is with Kikyo at a table kissing and Kouga has disappeared somewhere with Ayame.

The music stops as the singer speaks into the microphone. "And now for a special announcement by one of the Best Men, Miroku ."

"What?" Sesshoumaru looks confused. "I thought all the speeches were done."

Smiling, I pull him off the floor, leaving only Miroku and a very confused Sango in the middle. I watch as her confusion turns into excitement as Miroku kneels down on one knee. "Sango…will you do me the honor of marrying me?"

She's so excited that she can't even get words out, so she nods her head ridiculously fast as she jumps into his arms.

"What I miss?" Ayame asks over my shoulder.

"Where have you been? Miroku just proposed to Sango and she accepted."

"What them too?" Kouga says as he comes up behind her.

Turning to face them, I look into their eyes. "What do you mean 'too'?"

"Well…" Kouga trails off.

Ayame continues. "What he means is that he proposed to me two weeks ago and we were deciding when to tell everyone. That's why we disappeared a few minutes ago."

I'm stunned. "Oh wow…congratulations!" I give them both hugs.

"Thanks, but this is your day so go out there and have some fun." Kouga says as he pushes me towards Sesshoumaru and out onto the dance floor.

As we're dancing closely, Sesshoumaru whispers into my ear, "Inuyasha and Kikyo are…"

Before he can finish, I cut him off. "If you say they're engaged, I might just faint here and now." Seeing his confusion, I tell him about finding out that Kouga and Ayame have been engaged for apparently a couple of weeks.

"Wow! But no, I was just going to say that Kikyo got a migraine, so Inuyasha took her home. They both say they wish us the best and are sorry that they won't be here to see us off."

"Oh right. Well I hope she feels better."

We continue to dance close together, with my head laying on his shoulder. As we spin slowly, I think back to everything that has happened in the past year. Who knew that taking a chance and calling a silly radio program could change lives so much?

The End
