Really sorry for not updating in a long while. Well this isn't really and update, it's more like a revised version. This is still the same story with some... 'changes' here and there. The plot's also changed, though. But still the same, in a way.

Since the error thing happened, I couldn't change the summary so yeah, maybe when things get fixed, I will. Just take note that some parts of the story are different from the summary.


Prologue


Inuyasha pondered over the previous events and wondered how it came to him being here. When did it all go wrong? What went wrong?

He thought again of that night that Kikyou came to him and said: I do not love you... anymore.

Please stop pursuing me. Good-bye, Inuyasha.

Let me go.

'I can't let you go...' Inuyasha gritted his teeth.

'Don't you need to go back to Kagome? She will be worried about you.

I know that. But, I just wanted to see you...

Of course, I guess that my reincarnation is not enough for you is it?

Kagome and me don't have that kind of relationship! I still love you, Kikyou.

I've told you time and time again, to move on. We both know that you love Kagome more than me.

That's not true!

Then, who do you love more?

I... I-

-Cannot choose.' Kikyou finished for him.

He should have known, should have seen it in the sadness in her eyes, the way she sounded guilty, and her awkward movements.

He should have known that it was the beginning of the end. Should have expected what was going to happen after that...

Inuyasha shook his head and thought bitterly; 'I would have never expected or even dare to think that it would happen.' He sat back on his chair and tried to recall that horrid day.


Flashback

"What was that about?" The others asked Inuyasha and Miroku when they returned from their conversation with a demon who claimed to have a message for Inuyasha's group from Sesshomaru. Inuyasha had automatically rolled on the floor in laughter. Miroku merely shook his head and ignored his friend to explain to the others.

"As impossible and... odd as this sounds... We've been invited to a wedding..." Miroku coughed awkwardly. "Sesshomaru's wedding."

There was a momentary period of silence before it all registered with a loud "WHAT!" and "SESSHOMARU!" and "MARRYING?"

'Sesshomaru getting married' was not in their vocabulary. And they were three words that were not meant to cross paths together in one sentence or phrase.

After the shock, disbelief, and laughter-on Inuyasha's part- had passed, Sango spoke up and said; "What if it's a trap?"

Inuyasha huffed; "I doubt Sesshomaru would go this low just to drag me out. If I were in his shoes, it really wouldn't be worth it." The others agreed. Then they moved on to the main question.

"Should we go then?" Kagome finally said.

Before anyone could say anything, Inuyasha spoke up; "I'm going. I wanna meet the poor, unlucky sap who's stupid enough to marry Sesshomaru!" Inuyasha smirked. "She's either a masochist or she really has a death wish."

Miroku shook his head. "You can't be too sure. There's a possibility that Sesshomaru might actually truly like someone."

"Other than himself?" Inuyasha retorted and everyone laughed. Though it was still unclear why Sesshomaru decided to invite Inuyasha they all agreed to attend the wedding tomorrow.


They arrived at Sesshomaru's castle in the Western lands and went to their respective places. Inuyasha and the others weren't too far from the altar, but close enough to see Sesshomaru's back and of the bride who has yet to arrive. The place was designed for a wedding and nicely arranged. Demon's filled the place until it was time to start the ceremony. It was separated by two spaces, one in the left then on the right, there was a long red carpet in the middle, with no chairs, there was an altar at the end. Like a Broadway, Kagome mused.

Then, the doors opened and Sesshomaru entered the room. Everyone stilled and there was silence. Inuyasha couldn't have been more shocked than he was now, his half-brother was wearing an outfit almost similar to his white and red, only it was black not and without the fur and sword. He didn't think that his brother ever changed his clothing. He was walking straight on the carpet and stopped beside the demon in white.

He cleared his throat. "The groom is now here. I shall start the ceremony." He started reading things from a book on the altar, which was in front of him. Then, some music. Then, a lady in white appeared at the doorway. She was wearing a long white-almost transparent- dress, with it's white veil, her face was completely covered, but her long black hair was the only thing Inuyasha and the others could see.

Sango whispered to Kagome. "Isn't that girl... human?"

Kagome nodded, while still staring at the bride, who was walking towards Sesshomaru. "She is... It shocks me that Sesshomaru would even think marrying a human."

Miroku and Shippo joined in the conversation. All of them sharing their confusion and shock, except for Inuyasha. His gaze was following the girl, taking in everything he's seeing. Her long -almost transparent- gown flowed behind her, her long white sleeved gown covering her frail hands, which were holding flowers, her eyes, through the veil, looked impassive. In some part of Inuyasha, that girl seemed familiar... he just couldn't put his finger on it. She had an air about her that made Inuyasha feel... something. He sat back, uncomfortably.

When she arrived infront of Sesshomaru, and Inuyasha noticed that he still retained his normal, emotionless composure, although he should be happy. "You may now kiss the bride." The demon said, smiling his sharp teeth at both of them. Sesshomaru neared the girl, and if you look clearly, it was as though she stepped back a bit, but, only Inuyasha noticed. When he was near enough, he lifted the veil from her face and the moment he did, Inuyasha, to his utter shock and horror, knew exactly who she was. He tried to stand up, but Miroku and Sango reacted quickly and restrained him.

"K-... Kikyou !"

End of Flashback


Inuyasha sighed. It's been a month or so since the wedding. He felt furious at first and still did. How could she marry someone else? And to his own brother! His lousy, good for nothing, Bastard of a half-brother, Sesshomaru! He'd gone ballistic and shut people out. Ran off somewhere every night despite Kagome and the others calling out to him. He had physically and mentally pushed the others away from him, even Kagome. Inuyasha felt bad about it and really regretted it. They rarely talked, they only do when it regards the Shikon no Tama or planning against Naraku, or in fights. Naraku has been at bay for a while and he wondered why. But, that's the least of his problems.

Inuyasha had a lot of sleepless nights, he often dreamt of her... In Sesshomaru's arms. 'That image will haunt me until i'm six-feet under.' Inuyasha growled lowly so as not to let anyone else hear him. He couldn't sleep well, just rarely, he developed a kind sickness-to what Kagome called it-, 'insomnia', not that he care what they call it. The pain was just unbearable. Not sleeping isn't heaven either, he often walked around thinking about how she was with Sesshomaru. Is she happy? Why did she marry him! Is he hurting her right now? When he thought of that, he thought of rushing to the western lands and beat the crap out of Sesshomaru and then... and then what? That won't change the fact that she's... he felt a lump on his throat. It was painful to even think about it. He bore with it for the past few weeks. For Kagome and the others sake.

And now here he was. Inuyasha sighed again. With some encouragement and prodding from the others he finally agreed to relax a moment and go 'take a load off' with Kagome in her time. She called it a date, he didn't know what it was but went along with it anyway. He had tried to the best he could muster to enjoy and he did, even just a little bit, it was now the third day he was here and Kagome brought him to a cafe. She told him to wait here while she went and ordered their food.

Inuyasha then felt the urge to go back tot he feudal era. 'There's something wrong...' He thought, dismissed it as paranoia and went back to looking out the window. But the urge didn't leave him.

When Kagome arrived, carrying a tray, he told her; "Let's go back."

Kagome stared at him and he stared back. She carefully set the tray on the table and while distributing her's and Inuyasha's food. "... After we finish our meal. I don't want my very limited allowance to go to waste." She replied, softly.

Inuyasha merely nodded as they ate in silence.


So, as for the people who've read the original chapters, you've probably noticed I kinda crammed the whole chapter 1-4 in this chapter. I deeply regret having to cut some parts of the story just to make it fit, but I have to make it to the gist of the story. Hope I didn't miss any important parts ^~^

Anyway, I've already made chapter 2 and 3 to make up for this and mightl be updating... sometime soon, depends. Hope this chapter's okay with you guys ^~^ R&R
