Chapter 16
"Christmas Eve! My wedding day! Gosh, I'm so nervous." Kagome placed her hands to her stomach in hope of calming the butterflies or the child, whichever one was causing the problems. She stared out the church window at the lightly falling snow. The landscape was already a pure white with blemishes of green and brown from the pine trees. Everything was under a blanket of snow and it looked absolutely beautiful. Kagome felt another flutter in her stomach, so she started to rub her hand around in small circles on the silk fabric at her gown. "Shh.....little one....calm down, be nice to mommy on her big day, ok." She then felt something being placed on her head. Kagome looked up to see Ayumi placing the veil on her head.
"It's almost time."
"I know. I still fell like I'm in a dream......Has anyone explained to Inuyasha what he's suppose to do?" Kagome asked Ayumi, a little worried what her dog-boy might do.
"Daijobu! Yuka is explaining it to him right now. Don't worry, this is your day. It will be perfect. You deserve it." Ayumi smiled at her friend then gave her a quick hug.
Eri opened the door to the chamber and whistled upon seeing Kagome. "Ok you two.....it's time."

Everything about the ceremony was a blur. As soon as she entered and saw Inuyasha in a black tux, everything else went out of focus. 'How I made it to the altar and managed to say 'I Do', I'll never now.' They were now in the middle of taking photos. Kagome was having a hard time keeping her attention anywhere else but on her new husband, but from what she could tell, he was having the same problem with her.
From the moment Kagome had entered the room, nothing else mattered. She was in a white dress trimmed with silver and pearls. His breath caught in his throat at the sight of her. Her ebony hair a dramatic contrast tot he silky white fabric. After seeing her like that, he had almost completely zoned out. 'I still don't know how I managed to remember everything Yuka had said. Well it's over, and I won't have to do it again.'
"Ok that should be enough photos." Eri smiled as she started to take care of the camera.
"Eri, I can't thank you enough for finding this dress. It's absolutely gorgeous." Kagome thanked her friend as everyone else nodded in agreement.
"No problem. My cousin owns a Bridal Boutique. She said you could have it, after I told her you situation. But you have to give her your soul as payment." Eri winked and gave Kagome a hug.
"HER SOUL! NO WAY!" Inuyasha yelled at hearing what the dress cost.
Eri walked up and bonked him on the head. "It was a joke you Baka. She just want Kagome to help with publicity, you know get the word out. that and if this child is a girl, you have to plan her wedding through my cousin.
Kagome smiled from ear to ear and nodded. "Tell her thank you and I'd be happy to help and go to go through her in the future."
Inuyasha relaxed at hearing it was a joke and that Kagome was ok with it. "Ok so now what do we do." He asked as he stared at the group of girls in front of him.
"Well it's late, and it's your wedding night, so we'll take you home." Yuka winked at them. "I figured we'd have a reception once we get home and tell your family."
"Sounds like a good idea to me. Let me go get changed and we can leave."

Early the next morning, Kagome busied herself with packing. She was standing by the bed looking over the three suitcases, she had bought one for Inuyasha when they had gone shopping the first day here. Now she was scanning them to make sure she had everything. She was startled when a pair of arms wrapped around her waist from behind and there was a quick nibble at her neck.
"Settle down, Tsuma. I can smell your nervousness and fear. It's not good for the pup." Inuyasha rested his head on her shoulder, nuzzling at her neck.
"By the way....Do you plan on waking me up like that every morning?" Kagome tilted her head to look at him.
"If you want me too.....Gladly."
"Looks like I need to set my alarm for an hour earlier then huh." She giggled then placed a quick kiss on his lips before going back to packing. "Ok I think thats it." Kagome closed the cases and asked Inuyasha to haul them over to the front door. She then went about looking over the house, making sure she hadn't forgotten anything. She turned to look over the cabin once more, this time for memory. 'So much has happened since coming here. Inuyasha showing up, my friends learning the truth, Inuyasha and I finally coming together, the baby, the wedding. It all seems like a dream. IF this is a dream, I'm gonna hunt down what ever youkai put it into my head and kill it.' Kagome then turned and looked at her husband. It was still odd seeing him in modern clothes but she still though he looked gorgeous.
"KEH! What are you looking at, let's get going, Yuka is waiting." He grabbed the bags and exited the cabin.
'Nope, it can't be a dream, he's never rude in my dreams. This is definitely reality.' Kagome turned out the light and locked the door behind her. She slowly walked to the car, leaving the past behind her, and walking toward her future, in an ironic sort of way
