A/N: Omiai- arranged marriage

Final Chapter

"Marry me." He said as he stood before her, holding an open little box in his hands with a ring inside.

She was caught off guard, left totally stunned.

"You don't have to give me an answer now," He said, "You might think it's too early. I understand you are still seventeen, you have your own dreams to make real. And I will wait, Kagome."

The red on her boyfriend's cheeks were wildly rising, his face was dead-on serious.

"But be aware that I will only take yes as an answer…" he tried to be chill, act as if he didn't give a damn. But the tremble in his voice surfaced his utter nervousness, and he averted his gaze as if he was going to confess some terrible crime,

"And just in case you didn't know," he cleared his throat, embarrassed, "I already sealed an Omiai deal with you as the bride, and we are set to wed the moment you graduate high school-"

"W-what—"

"My father made sure it was set in stone, and we have the blessing of your legal guardian. So even if you say no to my proposal… uh…

You technically can't. There's no way in hell I'd –"

She sprang towards him like a bullet, she tackled him in the tightest hug. "Of course," she whispered in between tears of elation, "Of course, of course…" She was laughing, crying, giddy in her shock.

"There's no way in hell I'd let you go." He finished, and he smiled.

With the wonderful backdrop of the starry city behind them, Kagome pulled away from her boyfriend, or she should say, future husband, looked up and locked eyes as he slipped the ring on her finger.

Sesshomaru suddenly turned to the other side, and he gave a thumbs up.

From afar, the grass literally started moving, then out emerged a familiar figure.

"Is it set?" Toga yelled, and Sesshomaru nodded his head. Toga's eyes started watering, "Inuyasha, did you catch all that?!"

A hand suddenly shot out just a few inches from where Kagome and Sesshomaru were standing, giving a thumbs up of its own. Disguised as a lump of grass and dirt was Inuyasha and Kikyo, the former carrying a camcorder, smiling as he continued to record.

Rin darted out of her own grass-disguise and sprang towards them, and the newly engaged couple received her in a very warm embrace.

Naraku came out of hiding, coughing out some dirt he accidentally ate, with a smirk on his face as he joined the new family in their hug.

They were finally joined by the sobbing patriarch, who was blowing his nose and wiping his tears with an already soaked handkerchief. "Kimi, look at how much our son has grown," he was cradling the picture frame of his late wife, and he burst into a not-so-manly wail.

Rin slightly pulled away, and she put her hands on her hips. "I expect a little brother or sister this year," She said, trying to sound intimidating. "You will name her Kanna if she is a girl, or Shippo if he is a boy. And we will go to the same school together, ride our bikes—" she continued prattling,

And the place became very loud and noisy, as everyone else started talking over each other about their own plans.

Amid the commotion, Sesshomaru looked at Kagome, and the girl smiled back.

So much was ahead of them,

so much time to spend.

He held her hand tight.

He leaned over,

and she tiptoed to meet him halfway for a quiet little kiss.
