Thirtieth Rose: The Wedding Part 1

The Takeuchi Mansion...
It was a little past 1 on Wednesday, when a hungry Sesshomaru left the study. Playing catch with his car keys, he headed for the kitchen. 'Just 3 more days!' He mused with a smile. He had been holed up in there since early this morning: making phone calls, faxing off signed contracts and replying to his many emails. The only break he took was at 7 when Rin, still in her pjs, came in. She was carrying a tray containing his breakfast. Which she shared with him, before getting dressed. Now he was all done. All his urgent business that needed his attention, was now completed. The staff had orders that any and all matters, will be handled by the vice presidents. All final approvals must come from father, until after he and Yasha return. The last 2 weeks in a whole have been quite hectic.
There was the last meeting with the wedding planner, his helper, and his caterer, which almost ended up in a lawsuit. Yasha had gotten into a screaming match with the poor man, his assistant, and their chef over the main course. When they went for a final taste of the menu recipes, Yasha complained! Sess, elbow on the table and his chin resting in the palm of his hand, just sat and watched. 'I guess it's true about what they say about to many cook in the kitchen.' The beef entree was to spicy, but the chicken was not spicy enough. The soups where bland. The salads where wilted, and the sauces where over cooked. All in all, she had a problem with EVERYTHING! The chef, deciding that he had had just about enough of the bride to be. He promptly told InuYasha, that her palate was to unsophisticated for his food. InuYasha had a fit! If Sesshoumaru hadn't been there, she would have been arrested for battery as she tried to choke the poor man with his neckerchief. Sesshomaru had to finally put his foot down, and told InuYasha to behave herself. He had reminded Yasha, that the only thing she had to worry about, besides herself, was the cake. And, to let the planner and his caterer do their jobs. Stewing, she finally agreed causing him to roll his eyes at her. He then turned to the 3 men, and frowned as he saw the smug look on the chef's face. Sesshomaru told him that if he wanted to continue in his field, to keep his comments to himself!
Then there was the fitting for his formal kimono, which gave him another headache. He had, at the insistence of his father's, allowed his Aunt Tsukiyomi to make his kimono. For she already drawn a design for it. When he saw it, he thought that she had finally lost what was left of her scattered mind. He had told her that he wanted an elegant and traditional formal kimono. He wanted a black kimono with matching short jacket, and with a black and gray striped hakamas. What he got was far from what he expected. First of all, it was white. The kimono top was made of white silk, and had red floral pattern on the shoulders and at the hem of the sleeves. It was held together by a yellow obi with blue designs on it, the damn thing even had a breast plate! When he asked her what she was thinking, she simply told him. "Lighten up, Sessho kun!" Tsuki said, in a slightly irritated voice. "This will be the wedding ceremony of the century! It calls for the two of you to be at your grandest! And besides, it seems to suit you. Like a feudal lord! You have that larger than life attitude, so you should have a larger than life look!" Nudging him in the side she said, with a sly grin. "Inu loved it! When I showed her the design, she said it was perfect!" 'InuYasha, what?' Sess rolled his eyes, and looked to his father and uncle for some sort of intervention. The 2 men just shook their heads trying to hide their amusement, as if to say, 'Just go with it, boy! The battle is already lost!'
But, nothing caused him as many headaches, than his own daughter! Somewhere a long the line, Yasha had recruited Rin to be her personal spy. On more than a couple of occasions, he found Rin snooping through any piece of paper she could get her little hands on. Going through all the draws in the house. Listening to his conversations, when he was on the phone. Following him around the house. On day, he caught her going through his waste paper basket! When he questioned her, she said she was looking for a drawing she made, and rushed past him. It was when he found her under his bed Monday night, he decided to put a stop to it once and for all! He called InuYasha that night and told her. "Just give it up, my love. You'll just have to wait until after the wedding." He smiled, as he remembered the very loud curse Yasha growled as he hung up.
Yes, in just 3 more days he and the of his dreams will be husband and wife! "InuYasha Takeuchi. I do like the sound of that!"
"It does have a pretty ring to it, doesn't it?" Sesshomaru turned to find his father standing in the doorway behind him. His arms crossed over his chest as he leaned against the frame, a knowing smile on his handsome face. "It really must be love." He shook his head, in mock dismay. "For, it is only love, that will have a grown man standing in the middle of the floor, talking to himself!"
"Father, I had no idea you where home." Sess said, giving him a sheepish smile. "I thought you where still at the office."
"I thought I would take the rest of the day off." He said as he straightened and walked towards his son. "I figured since I do still own the company. I have the right to goof off, every once in a while."
"More like everyday, if you ask me." Sess mumbled under his breath.
"Huh? You say something son?" Raising a brow to Sesshomaru.
"Me? No sir." He lied, as he past his father heading for the kitchen. Once in the kitchen, Sess went straight to the fridge. He took out the bread. Placing it on the counter, he went rummaging through the fridge again. "I'm going to make myself something to eat, are you hungry?"
"What are you having?"
"A sandwich."
Touga sat down at the counter. "What kind?"
"Cold cut and cheese."
"What kind of cold cuts?"
Sighing, he looked around and took out several meats and cheeses, a long with lettuce and a tomato. "We have ham, bologna, salami, turkey and chicken. We also have Swiss, American and provolone. So, what will it be?"
"What are you going to have?"
"Father!" He yelled, finally fed up with his father's silliness.
"All right. My but you're so touchy these days!" Touga laughed, holding his hands up in defense. "I'll have ham, turkey and Swiss. Don't for get the mayo!"
Sesshomaru sighed then went back to the fridge. He pulled out a squeeze bottle, and squirted a generous amount on the bread. Shaking his head at the thick white spread. Rin and his father had developed a taste for it when they toured America. 'Disgusting! How they eat this revolting crap is beyond me.' He though as he put the bottle down.
Sess took out a knife and two plates. Touga took a knife and cut a few slices of tomato, while Sess made the sandwiches. He slid on to his father, then put the everything back in the fridge. He took out two bottles of beer, handing one to his dad. Then sat down. Taking a bite out of his sandwich Touga chewed, as he regarded his son thoughtfully.
"Is there something on your mind, dad?" Sess asked, as he continued to eat without looking at his father.
Touga, after taking a long sallow from his beer, smiled. "I was just remembering when I was about to marry your mother. It was two days before the wedding, and I was so nervous. But, of course, I didn't want anyone to know! I remember, I was in this very kitchen." As he spoke, he looked around the room with a grin. "I had just made myself a bowl of soba noodles, and sat down to eat, when your grandfather walked in." Touga shook his head as his father came to mind. "You know something? That was the very first time that we had ever sat down, alone, and shared lunch. It was the first time, since my childhood, that we talked about something other than business. We talked about how we used to go fishing at the lake house. About the summer Hoshiyomi came to visit, and Tokio got all dressed up in a new kimono. She was trying to impress him and fell in the fish pond!" Sess almost choked on his beer. Touga laughed at the memory of his soaked sister, walking back into the house. It had been a difficult feat, since fish was trapped inside her kimono!
"You have got to be joking?"
Touga shook his head. "I kid you not. I never told you that Toki had a huge crush on Hoshi?" Sesshomaru shook his head. "No? I thought I did? Well, since we all grew up together, I guess it was only natural. But, Hoshi was a very good looking kid. Hell all the girls where after him. Of course, he was nothing compared to me. But, a nice looking fellow all the same." He said, as he took another bite of his sandwich.
"Your so modest, father." Sesshomaru smirked sarcastically.
"What modesty the truth is the truth! Can't be help it, son! We Takeuchi men have were put on this Earth to give all the ladies hope. It is a curse that has been past from father to son." Slapping is son one back, Touga smiled. "It's just something we have been forced to endure!"
"Some more that others!"
"What was that?"
"Nothing, dad."
"I heard you, smart ass! I'll have you know that no woman was immune to my charm. My flare. My-"
"Your big mouth."
"My big mou- Hey!" Sess laughed at the pouty look on his father's regal face. "You maybe grown, son, but your not to old that I can't put you over my knee!"
"Forgive me, dad. But you left yourself wide open for that. I just couldn't resist."
"Humph!" Touga grunted, than laughed. "Your mother was good for that. Whenever I got a swelled head. There was Megumi with a pin, to deflate it."
With a voice filled with emotion, Sess quietly said, "I miss her so much, dad. I wish she was here!"
Putting his hand on his son's shoulder. Touga comforted him. "She is here, son. As long as we remember her, Meg will always be here." He stood and engulfed Sess in a hug. Patting him on the back. As they broke apart, Touga cleared his throat. Taking another sip of his beer, he worked on finishing his sandwich. After a few more minutes, he looked at his son. "So, what are you planning to do today?"
Sess smiled. "I planned a nice dinner for Yasha at the club. Just me and her, with no interruptions and no wedding talk!" Sess finished his lunch, and drank the last of his beer. He stood and cleaned the 2 plates in the sink. He picked up his keys and headed toward the front door. "I need to pick up a few thing for us first."
"Things? What things?" Touga asked following his son's actions.
"I'm off to meet with my travel agent. To make sure that all is set, and to settle the bill. Then, I have to make sure our pilot has the right destination coordinates. Then I have to go to Higurashis to pick up somethings."
"The Higurashis? What is over there?"
A sly smile crept across Sess' face. "Yasha's new wardrobe."
Touga's eyebrows disappeared into his hairline. "InuYasha's new... Son, why would they be at the Higurashis. Wouldn't she have her clothes at her home?"
Sighing, Sess shook his head. "Father, you can't be that dense. Yasha has no idea what to pack, because, she has no idea where we're going!"
"You mean you still haven't told her, you two are going to... " His sentence was stopped by a panicked Sesshomaru. He had ran over to his father and put his hand over his mouth. Looking around, he uncovered his dad's mouth. "Quiet, father. I don't want her to find out where we're going."
"How is she going to find out? She's not even here to hear us."
"No, she has Rin snooping around into everything. So she doesn't have to be here. Rin follows me everywhere." Sess crossed his arms over his crest. "You know, Rin is pretty crafty when she want to be."
Touga laughed at his son's plight. "Ha! Now you know how it feels!" Confused, Sess asked his father what he was talking about. To which he replied. "You used to be the same way. Whenever, I tried to surprise your mother. She would send you to shadow me to find out what I was hiding or doing!" Slapping his blushing son on the back, Touga sighed happily. "Payback is a royal bitch, isn't it?" He turned from his stewing son and walked away. "I think I'll treat Rin to a nice dinner out tonight!" He waved his hand and laughed, as he walked up the stairs in search of his precious grandchild.
Sess watched after him with a frown. 'Damn! That old dog! If he knew the entire time, what I was up to why didn't he just say so then. I could have ceased all that shameful sneaking mother made me do!' He then walked to the door and left.
At the Crescent Cafe...
Yasha was cleaning off her work bench and getting ready to go, when the crew walked up to her. From the looks on their faces, she knew they were up to something. "What's up guys? You all look really guilty."
Kisa walked up to her with a big smile. "Yash, we all pooled together and bought you this." She handed Yasha a small white gift bag with Congratulations written in silver. "We hope you like it!"
Choked up, a teary eyed Yasha sat down. "You guys! You didn't have to do this!"
That's when Jakostu said, "See that's what I said, but everyone insisted that w-" Slap. Bang. Pow.
When it was over they all watched, as an angry Bankostu pick up his unconscious brother and threw him into the storeroom. He came back muttering under his breath. "I told that fool not to say anything, that I'd have to beat him for!" Looking at a shocked Inu, he blushed. "Sorry about that Inu, but we really do wish you the best!"
"Thanks, Ban! All of you!"
"Open it, Yasha!" Yelled the ever hyper Kira, as she clapped her hands and jumped up and down.
"All right." Yasha opened the bag and pulled a white box from it. Inside on a bed of white silk, was a crystal rose pendant on a gold chain. Pulling it out of the box, she held it up admiring the beauty of it. She looked up at them, to overwhelmed to speak.
Moni walked up to her and knelt before her. Taking Yasha's hand she smiled. "We didn't know what to get you. Since you would be moving in with Sesshomaru sama, you didn't need any household things."
"And, you damn sure won't need any money!" Yelled a now conscious Jakostu, just before Juromaru knocked him out again.
"So, we were at the end of our rope. But then we where in the mall, trying to figure it out. When Juro walked to a jewelry store window. He grabbed me and showed it to me. And, we just knew that was it. It was perfect for you, Inu, because Sesshomaru sama always calls you that. And, to us, you are and always will be our rose!" Said a misty Monica. "We just wanted you to know that!"
With tears rolling out of those bright purple eyes, Yasha grabbed Moni and hugged her tightly. Then she stood and hugged and kissed each of her friends one by one. "I love you guys! Your all the absolute best!" She sobbed as she hugged Mai. Taking the chain out of the box she put it on. "I'm never gonna take this off. Never!"
"All right! Enough of this mushy stuff," said Renkostu. "We are still open, remember?" Turning to Yasha, who was drying her eyes. "Yash, it's time for you to go home and relax. We've got everything under control here. So, go and finish up all that last minute wedding jazz!"
"All right, thanks Ren." She gathered all her things and put them into her bag. Turning to Juro, Ban and Ren, she gave them their last minute instructions. "Now, you guys know everything you need to right? You know when you have to order the supplies. When the distributors have be paid." The guys sighed and nodded yes. "You do remember where the bank deposit slips and bags are? And, where I keep the bank card, right?" Then she looked straight at Ban. "Remember, I'm counting on you and your brothers to get the cake to the reception hall tomorrow. That stupid chef of theirs will be waiting, to put it in the walk in. And make sure that that idiot doesn't..."
Holding up is hands, Bankostu smiled. "Whoa, Yash. Slow you're roll, boss lady! Don't worry, we'll take care of everything. And, if that guy gives us any static, we'll have old Juromaru piledrive him!" As if to prove the point. Juro punched his fist into the palm of his hand, and smiled. Ban, smiled and turned back to Inu. "You got enough on your plate, Yash. It's time to cut the cord!" Everyone laughed, as Yasha blushed.
"All right. I guess I'll see you at the wedding, then." Looking around She frowned when she no longer saw Mai. "Where did Mai go?"
"She's sweeping out the sidewalk." Moni said as she pointed outside at the girl.
"Oh, well I see you guys, later. And, thanks for this." She smiled as she fingered the rose on the chain. "It's just beautiful." She went outside, to say talk to Mai. 'Hm. What's up with that girl? She hasn't been acting like herself lately.' Going outside, she put her bag and other things in her SUV. Then she went to Mai, who was still sweeping the sidewalk. "Hey Mai, I'm off now."
Mai stopped what she was doing, and smiled at her employer. "I'll see you at the wedding, Yasha. I'm looking forward to it!" Then she started sweeping again. Yasha sat down and called for her to stop.
"Mai sit down for a minute here, I want to talk to you." She watched as Mai propped the broom up next to a chair, then sat next to Inu.
"What's up, Yash?"
"You called out the day after the concert, and you've been acting funny. Are you okay, Mai? Is there something you want to talk about?"
Mai's eyes widened, and for a moment she looked like she wanted to cry. But, then she bowed her head. "Nah, Yash. I do thank you for your concern, but I just had a lot on my mind. I've had a lot of projects to do at school and then working here. I guess it just caught up to me."
InuYasha wasn't about to buy that one. Mai has always balanced her schoolwork and her job here before, with no problems. The only thing different now was that new boyfriend. 'That must be it!' Inu thought looking at her friend. 'She looked like she wanted to tell me something, but changed her mind. Well, if this guy is trying something funny with Mai, he's gonna get a whole lot of trouble!' "Mai, that guy your seeing. The one Monica and the girls where telling me about. He's not trying to get you to do anything your not ready for is he?"
Mai clasped her hands together so tightly that her knuckles turned white. She turned sorrowful eyes to Inu. 'I knew it! He did try something! I'm gonna have Naraku and Juro find this guy!' "Yasha, I- I think I'm... Yasha how do you know if you truly love someone? Or more to the fact, how do you know that someone truly loves you?"
Blinking, Yasha sat there for a minute. "What do you mean, how? Mai, I can't tell you that. That's something you'll have to figure out on your own. Tell me, has this guy your seeing, has he said he loves you?"
"No." She said, then she smiled brightly as she looked up at InuYasha. "But, he says I make him feel like nothing he's ever felt before. He says he enjoys every minute with me. He takes me to all these fancy places, he even buys me things. The day he took me to the concert, he sent me a pretty bouquet of flowers. Yash, no one has ever sent me flowers before!" Mai then held up her arm to show Inu the sparkling silver charm bracelet. "Last night at dinner, he gave me this. Isn't it just the prettiest thing!"
InuYasha looked closely at the bracelet on her friend, and felt a chill down her spine. Confused she didn't know why she felt this way. 'I've seen this, or something like it before. But where?' She was roused out of her thoughts by Mai's voice. Blinking, she smiled apologetically. "I'm so sorry, Mai. My mind left me for a minute. Yes, it's very pretty. It looks good on you."
Mai fingered the bracelet, smiling at it. Then she looked at InuYasha. "You don't have to worry about me, Yasha. I'm fine. I'm just not use to all the attention he gives me, that's all. I mean, I'm not like the rest of the girls. I'm not like you. I never dreamed that a guy like him would be interested in a mousy girl like me!"
"You are not mousy. And if anyone is lucky, it's him! Mai, your smart, you've got a good head on your shoulders and your as cute as a button! I'm just glad that someone has finally noticed you for what you are. You are a gem. You just needed someone to come and polish you! Don't you forget that!" At this time, Yasha's cell rang. She picked it up and looked at the caller ID. Smiling she picked up. "Yo, Kags. What's up?" Yasha's smile disappeared when she heard Kagome crying. "Kagome? Kagome, what's wrong?"
"Oh my god, Yash!" Kagome shouted. "I went to the cleaners to pick up your kimono. Yash, I'm so sorry!" Kagome cried.
"Sorry? Bout what? Kag, what the hell is wrong? You're not making any sense, and what's all that noise I hear. It sounds like fire-" 'Oh God, no please NO!'
"Oh Yasha! The place was on fire! Everything is gone! The cleaners has burnt to the ground. Oh God, Yasha! YOUR KIMONO! THE KIMONO IS GONE!!!!!!!"
At that point, InuYasha's world turned black as she hit the ground. The last thing she heard was Mai shouting for help and then silence. Gone. Her mother's wedding kimono was gone. The only piece of her mother, that was to be present when she married the man she loved. Gone. 'No mama! It's like you've died all over again!' Sometime later. InuYasha woke, to find a pair of concerned love-filled golden eyes staring at her. "Thank god, you're awake! You had me worried, my love!"
"Sess? What are you doing here?" Yasha turned from her love. Looking around and saw her she wasn't at the cafe. She was home. Her head was in Sesshomaru's lap, and Keade was smiling at her. 'What the hell is going on?' She heard a noise and looked over to see Kagome sitting next to her, then it all came back. 'Kagome. That's right! Kagome told me... Mama's kimono...' InuYasha's face crumbled. Sesshomaru's arms went around her, and he pulled her to him. Holding her to his heart, as she cried. "Oh god Sess! What am I to do? My mama... I don't have the kimono... My mama can't be there now... Oh God Sess! What am I going to do now?!?" She sobbed heartbroken into Sess' chest, as he rocked her back and forth. Vowing to her that all is not lost.
"We'll think of something Inu, I promise you!"
Shaking her head, Inu looked up at him. "We can't! We don't have the time! The wedding is in 2 in a half days, that's not enough time! We are going to have to postpone."
"No!" He said, sitting her away from himself. "I have waited years to make you my wife, Inu. I don't care if you're wearing jeans, shorts, a towel, or a goddamn barrel. We are getting married on Saturday! No discussion!"
"But, Sessho-"
"And, no buts, love. We have an ace in the hole!" He smiled reached in his pocket. Pulling out his cell he dialed the one person that could help them. "Hello? It's Sess. Are you guys doing anything right now? Would it be possible to come over right now. Yasha and I are in a bind and need your help." He paused and winked at Inu. "Yes. We'll be there in about an hour. And, could you have some of your best people there? Yes, I will explain when we get there. Thank you." He closed the phone and put it back in his pocket. He smiled at Yasha, and kissed her cheek. "Yasha, pack and overnight bag. You won't be coming home tonight! Gram, Kagome don't worry about anything. All will be well. There will be a wedding on Saturday, trust me." When she stared at him in confusion, he just smiled and said. "I just put in a call to our ace!" Yasha went and did as he asked. Kissing her Keade goodnight, she got in Sess' jet black mustang and drove off. After a few minutes Yasha, due the stress had nodded off.
Sometime later, she awoke to the sound of the car pulling to a stop. Looking out the window, she saw that they where parked in front of a huge mansion. Mansion? Palace was more like it, a palace made of glass, stone and steal. Yasha's brow knotted as she wondered who lived in there. She turned and raised her brow to Sess as he turned the car off. "We are here." He said with a smile. But, where was 'here'? She was about to ask, but he got out of the car. He walked around and open the door for her. Helping her out, he then opened the trunk to retrieve her bag. Then, taking Inu's arm, they walked up to the doors. Before he rang the bell, the doors flew open. There in the doorway, they were met by a smiling Tsukiyomi and a curious Hoshiyomi. Behind them stood several ladies and gentlemen, awaiting orders. "Uncle Hoshiyomi dono, Aunt Tsukiyomi sama, thank you for seeing us on such short notice."
"Not at all, dear boy," Hoshiyomi said.
"We saw the news on TV." Said Tsukiyomi, "when you called and said you not only to see us, but some of our people too. Well, it didn't take a genius to guess what you wanted." Smiling at InuYasha, Tsukiyomi held out her hand. "Yasha, you come with me, my dear. We have a lot of work to do, and precious little time to do it in!"
TBC...
Well, it looks like it's Uncle Hoshi and Aunt Tsuki to the recuse But, will they be done in just 2 in a half days? See ya in the 31st Rose: The Wedding Part two.
