Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or any of the characters of Inuyasha.

A/N: I saw an AMV and thought about writing a story based on Shippo and Souten. The rest of the gang will be included in scenes. I decided to edit this fiction and hope it will be easier to read. Heck I had an awful time reading all the errors. There might still be some present but its better than before.


Your Call, Angel On The Moon


Shippo's Point of view:

I closed my jade green eyes.

Don't panic. This will all work out.

I couldn't help but take in a great deal of air. I tried my best not to let it get caught while I exhaled. My heart was beating quite recklessly inside my broad chest, the reason being that I was standing at the wedding alter about to meet my bride to be.

I've never seen or talked to her before this moment, and as of yet her name is unknown to me.

I can't even see her face as she walks down the aisle of sand, as her face is obscured by the long white veil that had been placed over her head. The wedding is at the beach as a holy place would never do for our kind. Kagome assured me that this wasn't a joke to play around with and that as a young fox demon this was a great responsibility.

InuYasha isn't here, he is away with Kagome on a mission to destroy a demon that had been causing havoc in a farther off village from here, to the south. Sango, Miroku, and Kira luckily have made it, to give me courage.

I'm not a little boy anymore-that is certain, but I don't feel ready for this marriage. I'm not in love.

The demon woman stopped next to me and I heard her exhale deeply. Hadn't I done that a few moments before?

The veil was so thick that I was sure she herself couldn't see a thing, much less know who I was. The demon that was to unite us began to speak. I kept glancing at the girl next to me and wondered as to how it would be between us.

This wedding was to unite a treaty with some tribe of demons that intended to take over the area, but this wedding would put it to an end, and a compromise would be met. I of course, had no idea why I had been chosen. I'm strong and brave, but maybe most of it had to do with the fact that I traveled with InuYasha and the group.

I being the only full blood male demon among a strong group must have been a great choice. But even though that was true, I sure didn't feel lucky.

"I do."

Her voice was small and strong. I awaited my turn…

"I do."

I shook at the last word, but managed to keep my posture. Surely no one had noticed.

Souten's Point of view:

I kept my eyes closed during the whole ceremony, hoping that it was all a simple nightmare. I was the only remaining Thunder demon of my clan, and to be married off as a mere tool was an absolute disgrace! I should have killed the leader of that band, but I found myself under too much enemy territory.

I joined his 'family' and became one of their pets. I killed any bastered that thought themselves too clever with me. I was quite relieved to be away from them, but my husband may be worse.

After the wedding, they took me to an empty room to finally set eyes on him. I waited seated on a cushion for him to remove the veil as it should be. His voice was a pitch higher than an average demon, which led me to believe he was not old but young and still aging.

"Do you want to eat, before we go out once more?" I looked over in the direction in which I knew his voice had come from.

"Yes, but remove the veil from my face, first."

I heard him shuffle over to my side removing the thick veil that I considered to be a mere rag of display. My lips parted in shock as I set my ruby red eyes on the man that had gained my love once before.

"It's you."

Shippo stared at an older version of Souten. Her lovely colored orbs were wide in astonishment and shock.

"Souten is that really you?"

Souten blinked and shook her face holding her cheeks," Oh, why you?! Of all candidates! Why this fox demon, why?!"

Shippo glared at her in hurt," What is wrong with me? But that is beside the point; I'm the one who was forced to accept this situation. I wanted to marry someone for love, not some stranger who I only met once."

Souten had her hair up in two low ponytails, her dark glossy hair falling down her back in long waves. Her white kimono was designed with multiple small baby blue lotus buds.

"I couldn't care less."

She eyed him wearily, "You think I wanted to be given off as a mere pawn?"

Shippo was taken aback by the response he got. He hadn't considered that she had also been forced into the whole arrangement.

Third point of view:

InuYasha feh'd as the monster disintegrated into dust right in front of him. Kagome ran over to his side with her bow in hand. "InuYasha, you should've waited for me!"

He resealed Tenseiga and crossed his arms," Why? So you get hurt?"

Kagome sighed and grabbed his arm," I wouldn't have caused trouble. As a matter of fact, I might have killed it myself!"

InuYasha held his nose high," Yeah, right."

Kagome tugged at his sleeves," Don't tease me. I'm just as strong as Sango. Not as skillful, but strong."

InuYasha smiled down at his 18 year old mate. She was so beautiful when she pouted. Kagome was about to continued her argument, but InuYasha pulled her in for a sweet kiss.

Shippo and Souten sat at the grand table with the guests eating their fill. Sango stared at the young thunder demon in curiosity.

Souten was pouting and refused to talk to anyone. Shippo had to answer all the questions and critics about the wedding ceremony and that included the future plans.

Souten glared as Shippo explained that she would join the InuYasha gang.

There is no way I'm going to travel around saving pathetic human beings.

Shippo grabbed Souten's hand and she turned to look at him again. He was shaking in fear as a huge boar demon walked up to them. The boar was drunk by the looks of it and he didn't look happy. To tell the truth he was furious at something.

"I'm going to murder you fox demon! How dare you marry some girl that was to be mine someday!"

Souten scoffed at the boar," What are you out of your mind? I'd never go for a fat old lowly demon such as you."

Shippo was took in a deep breath and stood up to his full height. The boar looked up at the tall slender build Fox demon.

"Well the cowardly demon is challenging me, I see!"

Miroku stood up and placed himself in front of his younger friend," Now, now, you wouldn't want to cause a fuss."

Sango stood and placed herself beside Miroku," Too late for that Miroku. We have already caused one, but of course I could give him a kick or two for entertainment."

Miroku and Sango glared evilly at the defenseless pig demon. Shippo smirked at bit. The pig was freaking out," Boo!"

The demon yelped and turned heel, running out of the scene and toward the forest ahead. Souten watched as the crowd laughed at the scurrying foe.

Shippo isn't that brave it seems, but is he a weak demon as well. Only one way to find out.

" Hey Shippo."

Souten pulled him down next to her," How about you and me play a game instead of the traditional mating."

Shippo blushed and blinked a few times. He hadn't remembered the traditional ritual, but the thought of it scared him. He needed to work on his inner bravery the outside face was fine, but inside he always managed to shake a bit.

"What kind of game?"

Souten smiled wildly," You'll see soon enough."

Shippo gulped, her smile reminded him of her older dead brother, Hiten.
