Love is a song

So since I won’t be in my most soberest of sober states another update might be a little wait, but who knows with my muses. Thank you for the reviews Notgoingtowrite, KooKooKitty, and WTW. Enjoy!

“Kagome,” Mya growled in irritation. “Do not make me become the dress Nazi. I did it for Taijina’s ceremony and I have no inhibitions doing it to you.”

“If my daughter doesn’t feel comfortable wearing that!” Mrs. Higurashi argued, getting in Mya’s face. “Then she isn’t going to wear it! “

Kagome just stood on the pedal stool wearing a light purple formal kimono that had dark blue stars all over it and a silver obi. Her mother and Mya had been fighting over which kimono she was to wear for the mating ceremonial feast. Mya had suggested wearing Taijina’s family kimono since the Higurashi family did not have demon heritage or a family kimono.

“She needs to wear something!” Mya snapped back, not backing down, but holding back from tearing out Mrs. Higurashi’s eyes. “This one will at least gain her some level of respect since it is a known family kimono!”

“Will you two please forget the stupid kimono!?” Taijina moaned from her position on the couch. She was slouched back and struggling to get up. “Someone get me off this stupid couch! I have to pee!!”

“Why would I expect any help from you,” Mya sighed, as she went to help Taijina up. Taijina was half way off the couch when pain shot through her body, causing her to be paralyzed for a moment. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” Taijina replied, trying to keep her voice leveled.

“If something is wrong with the pu…” Mya started but was quickly cut off by Taijina.

“Nothing is wrong,” she sighed, as she stood and stretched. “I’ve just been sitting so damn long when I tried to get up my back protested. That is all.”

“If you say so,” Mya grumbled as Taijina waddled out of the room. Sighing she turned back to Kagome and her mom. “You have to wear some kind of formal kimono to the feast. Not to looks bad for all of us, it shows disrespect.”

“I don’t mind wearing the kimono,” Kagome replied, playing with the edge of the sleeves that engulfed her. “It’s just big on me and I really don’t want anything altered just for me. I mean this is a beautiful silk kimono that must have been in Taijina’s family for ages. If it’s altered for me to make it fit a smaller body how will anyone else wear it?”

“The kimono has been altered over the years for all sizes,” Mya explained as she sat down. “Nothing is ever cut off just pinned under and it looks like it was never altered. The spider mistress is amazing at altering clothes, even silk.”

“What if I destroy it while wearing,” Kagome cried, she really wanted to wear the kimono, but she could not handle it if she destroyed it. “What if I spill something on it?”

“Taijina’s mother spilt red wine all over that kimono during her mating ceremony,” Mya told her, as Kagome’s mom started to fix the obi. “Taijina had food thrown all over while wearing it, thanks to Koga and InuYasha. Then she ripped the bottom hem when she ran out of the great hall. If you did not get it dirty or rip it, I would be shocked to say the least. The servants know how to clean and repair it without it looking like it was damage so you have no worries.”

“Is it a tradition to destroy this beautiful kimono every time someone wears it?” Mrs. Higurashi asked as she smoothed out the silk of the kimono.

“I’m beginning to believe so,” Mya snorted, as Taijina returned, looking a little pale. “Are you sure you are okay?”

“I’m fine,” Taijina hissed through her gritted teeth, and then grabbed her stomach. “Except I think my contractions have started early.”

“Can’t I just wear my robes,” InuYasha whined from the pedal stool he was standing on. A female with long black hair, and straight dark purple eyes was pinning him into a white silk kimono with red sakura blossoms on the sleeves, and a purple obi. “I don’t do well in white!”

“You will wear it,” Sesshomaru replied, as he reclined on the couch in the room. “Every Tashio male has worn this kimono to their mating ceremony, and you shall be no different.”

“Except I swim in this thing!” he snapped back, as he waved his hands covered by the sleeves of the kimono at Sesshomaru. “Why did you all have to be so freaking tall!”

“You can blame your human mother for you being so short in stature,” Sesshomaru replied.

“Shut up!” InuYasha huffed, as he crossed his arms, earning an angry glare from the female hemming his kimono.

“Not that you have anything to worry about,” Sesshomaru replied in bored tones, as he watch his brother being repositioned by the female. “Aracana, our resident Spider Mistress, will make it fit. Also don’t piss her off, mild temper Spider Mistresses are so hard to come by.”

“I still look ridiculous in this silk balloon!” InuYasha grunted as the Spider Mistress had him holding out his arms to the side. Sesshomaru was about to reply to InuYasha’s comment when Tasshomaru burst into the room.

“Father,” he said in a quick and urgent voice, as Sesshomaru quickly stood. “It’s mother, she went into early labor.”

Sesshomaru knocked Tasshomaru down, as he rushed down the hall. InuYasha helped him up and started to leave with Tasshomaru, when the Spider Mistress cleared her throat.

“You cannot let your intended see you clothed like that before the ceremony,” she told him in her wispy voice.

Celina gaped for a moment, and then pinched herself in the arm. She let out a little yelp, leaving a red mark where she pinched herself hard. Know she defiantly knew she was not dreaming, and worst the occupants of the room now knew she was standing there. The demon gazed over her quickly before coming over and picking her up by the hips and twirling her in the air.

“You’re proof they mated!” he told her happily, as she let out another yelp.

“Put me down!” she screamed, as she clawed at his hands. He set her on her feet, and she backed up, and stared into his golden eyes. His white hair was pulled back and even in the white t-shirt and jeans, she knew who she was looking at. “Lord Touga I presume.”

“You know him, Celina?” Ash asked as she walked over to him.

“I don’t know him personally,” Celina replied as she walked over to the couch to sit down. Rubbing her temples, he started to wonder how this whole thing was going to end. “But his portrait is in the great hall. Even without the formal kimono and swords, you can see the resemblance my father and Uncle InuYasha share with him. So how did this all happen again?”

“I don’t know,” Ash replied as she sat next to Celina. “So I guess we have to take him back with us.”

“How the hell are we explaining this to my father!?” Celina hissed threw her teeth.

“What’s that ringing?” Touga asked, as Chris went to answer the phone.

“Um a telephone,” Celina replied. “Oh great moons! He’s been dead over six hundred years now!”

“Formerly dead,” he corrected. “Now I’m alive again. Where exactly are we?”

“Celina,” Chris said as she poked her head into the room. “Someone named Tasshomaru is on the phone.”

“Why is my brother calling?” she muttered to herself as she walked out of the room to the phone.

“You are in America,” Ash replied cheerfully, as Chris sighed and walked back upstairs. “Do you know why you wanted to come back?”

“No,” he replied seriously, as he sat down in the chair next to the couch. “I remember my death. The fire and making sure my mate and baby made it safely out of the fire. Is InuYasha alright?”

“As far as I know,” Ash giggled. “Minus the fact he is getting mated soon.”

“ASH!” Celina cried as she rushed into the room. “We need to get home, NOW!”
