Chapter 10: And All That Fun Junk, Too
Sesshoumaru growled at the embracing couple. Before he could take a step towards them, Kagome was at his side with a hand on his arm.
"Calm down," she said, looking him in the eyes when he looked at her. "Nothing you can do about it now."
Rin looked up when she heard Kagome's voice. "Kagome-chan?"
Kagome moved from Sesshoumaru's side and sat next to the now sitting Rin. "Hey. It's been a while, huh?" she asked, brushing a few stray hairs from the girl's face. "You're going to let this go back natural, right?" she asked, holding a chunk of the red hair in front of Rin's eyes.
Rin smiled and wrapped her arms around Kagome. "Of course, I'm going to let it go back natural, silly. I missed you," she said, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Well, I'm glad we found you," Kagome said. "Although, it's more like you found us," she added.
"Wait. You knew?" Sesshoumaru growled out, stopping his pacing long enough to glare at the trio on the couch, his red tinged eyes focused on Kagome.
Kagome sighed, let go of Rin, and walked back over to Sesshoumaru. "I only found out at lunch. But Kouga had wanted to tell you, so I stayed quiet about it," she told him, her right hand coming up to rest on his chest.
Kouga stood up and took a few steps toward the inu youkai. "Don't be upset with her because of something I asked her to do, please?" he asked, his chin to his chest, rolling his eyes up to look at Sesshoumaru.
"And why didn't you ask for my permission like you should have?" Sesshoumaru asked, glaring at the wolf youkai.
"Sesshoumaru-sama," Rin spoke up, standing up from the couch. "You were still very upset about Kagome-chan's departure. I didn't want to bother you," she said, a sad look crossing her face.
Sesshoumaru walked to Rin and wrapped his arms around her. "This is one thing I wish you would have spoken to me about," he told her.
"Next time, I will, I promise," Rin said, pulling away to look him in the eyes.
"Sesshoumaru-sama," Kouga said. "I would like to ask your permission to court your ward," he said, bowing low.
"A little late for that request," Kagome said with a smile.
"Better late than never. Permission granted," Sesshoumaru said.
Kagome just looked between the two youkai, confused, then shrugged. "Rin-chan, since we didn't get to eat dinner, why don't we go find something to eat and leave the boys to play together," Kagome said, taking ahold of Rin's arm and guiding her out of the room.
Sesshoumaru looked after the girls as they left the room, then back at Kouga. "I'll deal with you later," he said, then started after the girls.
Kouga stared after them for a second, then shook his head. At least, he still had his head to shake. He jogged to catch up to the trio, then led them to the kitchen so they could all get something to eat.
Kagome smiled at Rin and Kouga as her and Sesshoumaru were getting ready to leave. "I'll tell Kat not to worry about you and that you hooked up with an old boyfriend or something, but don't forget to visit," she said, moving to hug Rin. "And don't forget about work," she added.
"I'll see you in the morning, at work," Rin said with a smile.
The women each stepped back to stand beside their youkai and slipped an arm around their waists.
Kagome's gaze moved to Kouga. "And you better take care of her," she said, a slight growl coming out with her voice.
Kouga swallowed and nodded nervously, glancing at Sesshoumaru. "You have nothing to worry about. I'll protect her, no matter what."
"Good," Sesshoumaru said with a nod.
They turned, leaving the newly reunited couple alone for the night. Sesshoumaru led Kagome to the limo that had just pulled up in front of Kouga's home. They climbed into the limo, Sesshoumaru nodding at Jaken as he passed the retainer, and settled into the leather seats for their ride home. Kagome snuggled up against Sesshoumaru's side, resting her head on his shoulder and drifted off to sleep.
Kagome awoke to curtain filtered sunlight trying to break through the barrier of her eyelids. She tossed a hand over her eyes and curled onto her side, away from the light. She felt an arm slid over her waist and she snuggled into the warm scent that was Sesshoumaru.
"Morning," she mumbled into his chest.
"Good morning," Sesshoumaru said, burying his face into her hair. "The alarm will go off in a few minutes. We might as well get up now" he whispered into her ear.
Kagome nodded, but didn't move to get up.
Sesshoumaru sat up in bed, and pulled the covers away from Kagome.
Kagome sat up, glaring at Sesshoumaru. "That was almost as mean as throwing water on me," she accused.
"I have never done such a thing," Sesshoumaru said.
"You didn't, but Jaken did. When we were travelling together, looking for Naraku," Kagome explained.
"Ah, yes. I remember that morning," Sesshoumaru said with a faint grin.
"That was not a fun morning," Kagome growled, getting out of the bed and heading for the bathroom.
Sesshoumaru smiled. At least he got her out of bed. A second later, the alarm went off. He reached over and turned off the alarm, then got out of bed himself.
The next couple of weeks went smoothly for everyone. Sesshoumaru put in his notice and soon no longer had to work for the company, effectively ending his 'Desumasuku' identity. Kagome effectively trained her in-office replacement, and got all the proper software so she could work from home. Kagome also gained quite impressive control over her youkai powers. Shippo got the job he had applied for with his 'Teiru Gishi' identity. Kouga and Rin got married, with Sesshoumaru's blessing, of course. Inuyasha started offically dating Muun, who is very happy to have an understanding boyfriend. And Kagome and Muun became great friends.
Kat took well to living alone, glad that her withdrawn roommate had finally found someone to love. Although, she didn't end up living alone for long. She soon had a live-in boyfriend living with her, and she turned Jade's room into an office.
After finishing her work one day, Kagome was curled up on the leather couch in Sesshoumaru's den. The wedding planner was supposed to be coming by in an hour, and Sesshoumaru was supposed to be home from work in half an hour, which gave her enough time to take a shower. Deciding she needed to get moving if she was going to do anything, she got up and headed towards her room.
After her shower, Kagome dressed in jeans and T-shirt, pulling her hair back in a tight braid to keep it out of the way. She headed back downstairs, to her office, to get her planner binder that held all of the details for her and Sesshoumaru's wedding, then moved into the den once more, to start looking over some of the options the planner had left with her the last time. She moved into the hallway in time to meet Sesshoumaru as he came in from work. Kagome held up the book to show him what she was doing.
"I'll be back down in a minute," Sesshoumaru said with a nod towards the stairs.
"Okay. I'll be in the den," Kagome said.
Kagome sat down on the floor, in front of the couch, and spread the contents of the binder out on the coffee table in front of her.
Sesshoumaru came in with his 'Sumisu Jonason' facade on and sat on the couch behind Kagome and looked over her shoulder.
Kagome leaned back against Sesshoumaru's legs. "Tell me why we can't elope, again?" she asked, looking up at him.
Sesshoumaru sighed. "Because I am a socialite and a large, flashy wedding is expected of me," he explained.
Kagome pouted. "Why couldn't we just have a nice little ceremony at my family's shrine?" she asked. "Jii-chan could do the ceremony for us. He'd probably be thrilled to do such a high profile wedding," she added.
"As tempting as that seems," Sesshoumaru said, thinking over the idea.
"It would cost way less, we could get married so much sooner, and to appease the other socialites, we could hold a huge reception later," Kagome jumped in before Sesshoumaru could think of a reason not to get married at her family's shrine.
"How do I know you don't want to marry me just for my money?" Sesshoumaru asked, jokingly, a smile softening his features.
Kagome smiled up at him. "You'll just have to trust that I love you," she said.
"I think I can believe that. Why don't you call your family before the planner gets here to see when they can do the ceremony?" Sesshoumaru suggested, handing Kagome his cell phone.
Kagome nodded and got up to go into her office to call her mother, leaving Sesshoumaru in the den. He took the afternoon's newspaper off the coffee table and glanced over the headlines before going to the financial section.
Kagome returned to the den a few minutes later, a bright smile on her face. "Momma says they can do it the weekend after next," she told Sesshoumaru, sitting on the couch next to him.
"So, two and a half weeks?" he asked.
"Yep. Then, we can take all the time we want to have a reception afterwards," Kagome said happily.
"Good"
The doorbell rang, and Jaken scurried to answer the door. A few moments later, he entered the den, human features well in place, and announced that Hitomi-san, the wedding planner, had arrived, before ushering the young woman into the room.
Kagome explained to Hitomi, her younger brother's childhood girlfriend, the changes they wanted to make to their plans, and she happily agreed to make sure that whatever they wanted would work out for them. It was just a good thing the invitations weren't supposed to go out for a while.
Hitomi left a few hours later, with a new agenda. They only wanted a few very close friends and some select family members to be present for the wedding. Which was perfectly understandable, considering the large number of guests that would be at the reception.
She had approximately two and a half weeks to plan the wedding, then she had another month or two to plan the reception. It would be a tough project, but she would become one of the top wedding planners in the country if she could pull off a high scale wedding like this one without a hitch.
If she was going to get everything done that had to be done in time, she had better get to work.
The next few weeks flew by in a blur with work and wedding preparations. Before they knew it, Kagome and Sesshoumaru were at her families shrine, getting ready for their ceremony that was taking place the next day. Inuyasha, Shippo, and Sesshoumaru, at Jii-chan's insistance, were all staying in the spare bedroom. Kagome, Rin, and Muun were sleeping in Kagome's room, while Kouga was staying in Souta's room.
The girls stayed up late into the night, talking and giggling.
On the other hand, the guys stayed up arguing. Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru argued about the usual things. Kouga ended up going into their room to get them to shut up, but he ended up starting his own arguement with Inuyasha. Finally, Kagome, Rin, and Muun had to go into the room and tell them all to be quiet.
The next day went by in a flash for Kagome and Sesshoumaru. People showed up, Kagome and Sesshoumaru were dressed up like dolls, more people showed up, the ceremony was almost a nonexistent event in their memories, and then the couple was rushed off to a small dinner with family and friends that wouldn't be attending the reception.
After a few hours, most of the family left, with the exception of a few that were staying the night, and the same friends that had stayed the previous night were staying again. But Kagome and Sesshoumaru got ushered off to a fancy hotel honeymoon suite for the night.
Completely worn out from the long, eventful day, Kagome and Sesshoumaru crawled into bed and snuggled up under the covers.
"Being youkai, shouldn't we have more energy left after today?" Kagome asked, resting her head on Sesshoumaru's chest.
"Not necessarily true," Sesshoumaru replied. "We've been under a lot of stress the last couple of weeks."
Kagome nodded against his chest. "I just want to unwind tonight. I hardly remember much of anything that happened today. I hope someone got it on film so I can watch it later," she said.
Sesshoumaru agreed. "Get some rest," he told her, turning out the bedside light.
After the reception and after all the reporters left them alone, Kagome and Sesshoumaru settled into a regular routine once more. Inuyasha and Muun, and Kouga and Rin would come over once a week for a family dinner, and afterwards, the guys would go to the dojo, where they could fight without worrying about breaking anything, while the girls could choose to either watch or chat in the den.
The rest of the week, Kagome would work from home, or go out shopping with Rin, or Muun, or both, while Sesshoumaru was at work.
After a few years of wedded bliss, Kagome got pregnant and started planning for the baby. Which included many phone conversations with Rin, with much high-pitched, excited squealing.
Both girls ended up pregnant, eagerly looking forward to getting to see their mates interact with their children.
Kagome was truly happy for the first time since she was pushed back to her own time.
