Authoress' Note: Yeah yeah yeah... back again. Happy now? Sorry.. Eh... To those who reviewed the story, thank you. I appreciate it and it feels good to get comments. I honestly didn't think I'd have as many reviews as I do.
There's more than likely going to be a new story out after this one called 'Snow Angel'. I am looking forward to writing that one because there's a lot more fluff in it.
Chapter VI: Celebrating the Future
Kagome sighed as the sun rose just above the clouds. She turned to her sleeping lover and watched him change from his human form into his hanyou. His raven black tresses became that of silver. His ears rose and transformed into fluffy white inu ears. His nails became sharp as a blade, and his canines grew into fangs. She smiled. Either way, she loved him.
He felt her gaze upon him as he changed and he pulled her closer, seeking her warmth. He could feel the love she held radiating from her, and a subconscious love for that which grew within her. He smiled as he opened her eyes only to gaze at her chocolate orbs. "Sleep well?" she asked.
"How could I not?" he replied. He then kissed her on the lips and pulled her closer into his arms. She giggled and tried to pull away, only to gain a growl from him.
"I need to shower."
"No you don't. You smell fine."
She sighed. "Onegai?"
"Feh. Fine." He said as he slowly loosened his grip.
She kissed his lips tenderly and got up. "I'll be back in a few minutes." She said as she grabbed a changing of clothes and headed towards the bathroom.
~~~~~~~~~* Later *~~~~~~~~
The scent of breakfast greeted them, as did the sound of humming. They entered the kitchen and sat at the table. Mrs. Higurashi turned to them and smiled. "Good morning you two." She said and she turned her attention back to the sausage.
Kagome stifled a yawn. "Good morning."
"Kagome, after breakfast we need to take you shopping for a wedding dress." Her mother said as she placed the plates on the table.
"Uh, mom, could I go to Toshi's?" Sota spoke up. He didn't want to be in the way of his mother's shopping rampage.
"Sure Sota, but you should call after you eat breakfast to see if it's okay with his mother."
"Hai."
With that, breakfast went on with normal chatter and their meal was eaten.
Afterwards Mrs. Higurashi dropped Sota off and headed towards the strip mall.
~*~*At the Mall*~*~
Mrs. Higurashi parked the car and they all got out and walked towards the mall.
Mrs. Higurashi smiled. "First, we need to go to the Paper store." She said as she pulled out her checklists.
"Goodness mama! How many things are on that list?!" Kagome exclaimed.
"Not that many...I'd say just over three hundred... Just the necessities."
Kagome went wide-eyed. "That's the necessities?"
"Don't dawdle...we need to get these things taken care of."
Kagome shook her head and sighed. Then she felt a re-assuring hand wrap around hers. She turned to see Inuyasha smiling at her. She couldn't help but to smile back. "Come on, let's go." She said as she followed her crazed mother into the first store.
When they entered the store the sales clerk greeted them. "May I help you with anything?" he asked.
"Kagome dear, over here!" her mother called.
The sales clerk walked away quickly and Kagome felt like she was three inches tall as she walked over to her mom.
"Look at these!" her mother exclaimed. "They'd be adorable for the center pieces of the table."
Kagome looked at what her mother held- a pedestal-style candleholder, which held a silver-white candle, and was surrounded by imitation rose petals. "It's pretty." She said.
"We'll get four-two for each main table." Mrs. Higurashi said as she quickly plucked the candles up. She then turned her attention towards where the decorations such as lanterns and streamers were and picked out those. With that, she paid for them and left.
~*~Hours later~*~
It had pretty much been the same all day-shop, squeal, shop, squeal, shop, ...well, you get the idea.
Kagome and Inuyasha both were now quite tired. They had achieved about ¾ the list so far. Kagome sighed as she and Inuyasha sat down to the small café table and waited for Mrs. Higurashi to come back from only goodness knows where.
"You hungry?" she asked Inuyasha, who in turn nodded. "I'll get something to tie us over until we get home." She said as she got up and stepped inside.
A few moments later she came out with two large cups filled with a creamy red liquid. By the smell, Inuyasha knew it had a lot of strawberries in it. She handed him one and he took a sip. His eyes grew wide and he chugged the whole thing.
Kagome laughed as he stopped at the last few swallows and wrinkled his forehead. "What's wrong?" she asked.
"My head hurts.' He replied, still not letting go of the cup.
"It's called a brain freeze...It's from drinking cold things too fast." She replied with another giggle. He glared at her, and then smirked, snatched her smoothie out of her hand, and took another big gulp."]
"H-hey!" she laughed as she tried to take her drink back, but he only pulled away, taking another large chug.
"That's mine." She playfully growled as she advanced more.
"So?" Inuyasha replied teasingly.
Kagome went to snatch the drink away but she accidentally bumped into the chair, knocking it over and taking her and Inuyasha with it.
People were now staring at the two lying on the ground, covered in the sticky red goo and who were laughing.
Mrs. Higurashi walked up and went wide-eyed. "What happened?" she asked as she bent down.
Kagome grinned at her mother. "He took my smoothie."
She shook her head. "Well, you better go get cleaned up." She said. "The goo will dry and you'll still be stickier."
Kagome rolled off of Inuyasha and got up then helped him up. The two then walked towards the bathroom
Kagome sighed and looked at herself in the mirror and down at the sink. "Well, I'd rather be wet than sticky." She said aloud.
Inuyasha leaned in and licked some of the smoothie off her cheek. "I don't know...you taste good."
She blushed slightly and smiled. "I still don't want to be sticky...." She said as she wet a paper towel and began to wipe the drink off her face and arms. She then attempted to rid her clothes of most of the goop.
She turned to Inuyasha. "You need to get cleaned up." She said.
He took a few steps back and began to shake the liquid from his body, and onto the surroundings, including a highly protesting Kagome.
"Great...Now I have to clean up again..." she laughed as she wet another paper towel.
~*~*Minutes later*~*~
The three walked into one of the most highly recommended bridal shops in all of Japan. Kagome looked around in awe. It was one of the fanciest places she had ever seen!
White lace curtains blocked the harsh sunlight from fading the color on some of the fabrics. A table with a tall statue of a beautiful bride was centered in the parlor of the store.
A woman greeted them with a smile on her visage. "How may I help you?"
"Well, my daughter is getting married and...."
"Oh? Congratulations!" the woman hugged Kagome tightly, knocking the breath out of her. "So who's the lucky fellow?"
"That would be me." Inuyasha spoke up from beside Kagome.
The woman turned her gaze and let go of Kagome and eyed Inuyasha up and down. 'Well alright then..Let's find you a dress." She said rather quickly as she motioned for Kagome to follow her.
Inuyasha grasped Kagome's hand, and she turned around sending him a questioning gaze before he gently captured her lips. "Don't take too long." He whispered before she smiled and walked away.
~*~*Minutes later*~*~
Kagome stepped out in her third dress. This one happened to be her favorite. Mrs. Higurashi took one glance at the dress and nodded. "I think we found the perfect one." She said.
"I want to see what Inuyasha thinks." Kagome said and walked out a little further.
A few seconds later, she caught Inuyasha's attention. His eyes widened and jaw lowered. She looked beautiful.
The dress was a traditional wedding kimono in a pearl-white color. The dress had prints of a phoenix and sakura blossoms in a baby pink tint and went to her ankles. The sleeves were long and flowing with the same print on them, only with solid pink-tinted trim, and the obi was a matching pink.
His opened his mouth and tried to make a sound, but none could come out. Not to mention he didn't realize his breath was caught in his throat when he looked at her.
"Inu..yasha?" Kagome asked, not exactly sure what he was thinking.
"You...look...so...damn beautiful.." he slowly stuttered.
She giggled and walked up to him, and kissed his cheek. "And you look so kawaii."

"Come on monk! Don't make me go on without you!" Inuyasha yelled down towards where Miroku was.
Miroku gasped as he tried to climb a little more. "Inu...Yasha? What's the....big...deal any..ways?"
"I want need to get Kagome something." He said in a more calm tone as he pulled the monk up the rest of the cliff.
"Like what? What can you find up here? A pretty rock perhaps?" Miroku asked rolling his eyes.
