Only Him
Once again I'm going to apologize for waiting so long to update. I thought the summer was going to give me more time to work on fan fictions, but for some reason I never seem to have much time.

Recap: "Thank you, Inuyasha." Kagome ran forward into her home, excited once more. As Inuyasha watched her go he felt as if he understood her a little more. She was strong, but she loved the people around her dearly and that was something that would never change. She had a good heart. Inuyasha loved that in her. End Recap
Chapter 6: A Wedding
Two Weeks Later
Kagome flipped through the pages of her thick textbook. A small dim lamp lit the contents of her room. Her head hurt from all of the concentration. She was never going to be able to learn everything in time for her exam tomorrow.
Inuyasha rested idly on the bed, with his hand behind his head. He seemed more patient than usual. The bed beneath him sunk slightly under all of the pressure of his muscle weight.
Sighing and looking over at Kagome, Inuyasha blinked. She seemed deep in thought. It would be the last exam of the year for her. Afterwards she would come back and spend the majority of the summer in the feudal era.
Inuyasha didn't know what she would do there with the jewel gone and all, but he wanted her to be there. If she left he wouldn't have anyone. Sango and Miroku were to be married in a few days. Shippo had decided to help Kaede out around the village.
"It'll be easier." Kagome looked up and away from her stack of work and studies. "Now that the jewel is purified it will be easier for everyone." She seemed to read Inuyasha's mind. "The people will be able to live more peacefully without Naraku." The miko closed her book and paused, staring down at the cover.
Watching her, Inuyasha realized that even though she was looking at her book, her mind was in a totally different dimension.
"I'm glad." Kagome faced off against Inuyasha. She was beaming, but there was something in her expression that the hanyou could not place. He looked bewildered.
Kagome arose finally and made her way over to the bed. Inuyasha sat up on his elbows, watching her every move. She sat down right beside him.
"I'm done." She wasn't really, but she knew she would get no where like this. She would just have to do her best tomorrow.
The priestess reached a hand over to Inuyasha head. His eyebrow raised at the gesture. She suddenly began to scratch his ear. He pulled back as if she had burned him. Kagome just giggled.
"What do you think you're doing?" Amber optics narrowed in suspicion.
"They looked so soft." She stopped her laughing. "I couldn't resist." There was something in her tone that was so comforting. Inuyasha had never felt closer to her than he did at the moment.
Inuyasha pushed all the way up and moved, so he was sitting adjacent to Kagome. He had 'keh'ed in the process to respond to her words. Sitting beside her he eyed the desk. When Kagome placed her head on his shoulder he tensed in surprise.
"It's strange that after all of this time our journey is finally over." Inuyasha nodded, obviously becoming more comfortable with the positioning.
"Yeah." He muttered.
A knock on the door disturbed the situation. Kagome removed her head from Inuyasha's shoulder.
"Come in." The door opened to reveal Kagome's mother. The woman was dressed casually with an apron on. The mess that coated the surface of it showed that she was cooking .
"Dinner's ready." The woman's smile did not falter. It rarely did. Her short brown hair tossed with the swing of her head as she exited, shutting the door.
"Come on." Kagome stood up, making sure her skirt was fully covering her bottom. Inuyasha nodded and the two made their way out of the room.
Later
Inuyasha cracked open the door to Kagome's bedroom. He assumed she was fast asleep by now. The room was dark, but he could see fine with his hanyou eyes.
He noticed Kagome as a lump on the bed. Black hair sprawled out across her pillow. He slipped through the door, shutting it behind him.
"Where were you?" Kagome opened her eyes, which seemed almost onyx in the dark of the room. Inuyasha stopped in his tracks. He blushed, but it went unnoticed. Kagome's grandfather had been giving him a talk, but he would not admit to it.
"I went for a walk." He lied, ambling over to the bed. He seated himself against the side and closed his eyes. Kagome didn't reply to his response. She just closed her eyes and drifted off into a slumber.
"I can't." Sango paced the wooden hut. Her long traditional kimono barely dragged on the floor. "I just can't."
"Sango, you can." Kagome assured, placing a comforting hand on her friends shoulder. "Lots of women feel like this when they're getting married."
"Really?" The demon slayer looked hopeful.
"Really." Kagome smiled her brightest. It had finally come down to Sango's wedding day. Everything seemed to be in order. The ceremony was taking place just outside of Kaede's village. Only close friends had been invited. Kagome had brought food and cake from her own time, having Inuyasha carry most of it. "Now you have to get out there. They're all waiting."
"Kagome, I... don't think I can." She repeated for the eight time within the last half hour.
"Yes..." Kagome pushed Sango's back. "You can." She began to push the nervous woman out the door.
"I'm not ready."
"Yes, you are." When Sango was fully out of the hut, Kagome blocked the entrance. "Now go." Sango's lips curled up. She examined her friend for a long while. Kagome had always been such a great help. She was thankful that the girl could travel back and forth with Inuyasha and the rosary.
"Thank you, Kagome." Sango wanted to hug her, but decided that she would do that later, after all the tension was off. "I'm sure you and Inuyasha will be in the same place as me and Miroku." Sango turned and began to run off towards the ceremony.
"Wha..." Kagome blushed.
"I do." Sango replied to the vows Kaede has spoken.
"With the power vested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." Kaede stepped back. The few people in the crowd clapped. Inuyasha just crossed his arms. He didn't understand this human ritual all to much.
Kagome squealed from beside Inuyasha as Miroku and Sango's lips locked. Inuyasha looked at her. He knew how much she loved these sorts of things.
I know this was pretty short. I also know the wedding was quick. I'm just not in the mood to write a detailed wedding for those two right now.
THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE THE LAST.
