(Inuyasha. Morning of celebration.)

Inuyasha awoke before dawn to leave the village inn he had stayed in for the night. He wanted to leave before the villagers awoke to try and thank him again. If he didn't have to fight with any demons he was sure to reach Sesshomarus' shiro before sunset and stop Kagome from mating his brother. He just had to, he realized that he shouldn't have used both Kagome and Kikyo, he just didn't know how to let go of those he loved. He couldn't take Kikyo from Onigumo for she was tied to him by the Kami's, but Kagome wasn't and wouldn't if he got there in time.

"I'm coming Kagome. Hang tight, I will make my wrongs into rights. You will be tied to me by the Kami's by sunset." he said as he ran against time.

(Kagome and Kikyo. Morning of celebration.)

Kagome awoke with a start. She had a nagging feeling that something was going to happen and she was right.

"Kagome! Kagome!" it was Kikyos' voice.

She jumped off her bed and ran to the door to allow her to come in.

"Kikyo what is it?" she asked.

"Kagome you need to have a human ceremony with Sesshomaru quickly." she said.

"Why?!" she asked.

"I was watching Inuyasha, he is still coming and he said that you will be tied to him come sunset by the Kami's." she said.

Kagome thought about what that could mean and it dawned on her.

"I'm beginning to hate him." she said to herself.

"He is going to try to convince me, then kidnap me if need be. If I'm not bound to Sesshomaru in any way by the Kami's I am free game." she said.

Kikyo nodded at her. Kagome knew what she had to do, she had to bump up her plans though.

"Thank you. I know what I need to do ." she said walking away.

Kagome made her way to Sesshomarus' study and knocked.

"Enter." his baritone voice sounded.

She did. Sesshomaru could smell that something was bothering her and instinctively he knew it was Inuyasha.

"What is it, Kagome?" he asked.

"Sesshomaru we need to have a human ceremony today." she said.

"Why ?" he asked.

"To keep Inuyasha from taking me or fighting you when he gets here. I want to be married to you my way and your way." she said.

"If that is what you want." he said.

"Yes, but will you take me to the well that I use to get home? I'm sure you remember from when we traveled together before Narakus' fall." she stated.

In fact he did remeber it. It was the bone eaters well and his little mikos' way back to her time, back to the future.

"Yes, let's go then." he said.

It only took a matter of minutes for them to reach the well by his cloud. When they got to the well Kagome wrapped her arms around Sesshomarus' waist.

"Hold me and jump. Do not let go of me." she instructed.

When Sesshomaru and Kagome jumped out of the well on her side, she swung open the well house door without consideration of the man with the ultra sensitive nose behind her. The moment the polluted air went into his nose he stopped dead in his tracks and jerked her back against him to bury his face in her hair.

"What is it?" Kagome asked.

"The air it is putrid." he said.

Kagome winced, she had so carelessly forgot about her mate and his ignorance of her world. The polluted air must have procalimed war upon his sensitive nose and she was sure that the noise was wreaking havoc on his hearing as well. She began to drag him to the shrine to get him out of the pollution of the twenty-first century.

"Mother I'm home and I need my wedding gown." she called to her mother.

"Kagome dear, why do you need your wedding dress?" she said.

"I am getting married and I need to have the ceremony now. It is a matter of life and death." Kagome explained.

"Alright dear." she said.

A couple hours later Kagome and Sesshomaru were back in the feudal era newly married and touching down back at the western shiro.

"I need to speak with Miroku about doing a human ceremony after the youkai ceremony. I will be tied to you in the future as well as tied both ways by our cultures in the past." she said.

"Very well." he said.

Off she went in search of her hentai houshi friend.

(Kagome & Miroku.)

"Miroku, Thank You for agreeing to marry us." Kagome told her friend.

"No praise is necessary. I am glad to help in any way I can and if I didn't Sango would not speak to me for forever." he said.

Kagome smirked and laughed at that. What he said was true her best-friend would have more than likely pummell her poor husband if he had refused.

"We shall do the ceremony after the youkai ceremony." she explained.

"Alright, I shall start then." he said.

"Thank You my friend." she said.

"Your Welcome, Lady Kagome." Miroku said bowing.

Kagome inclined her head and left Mirku where she found him in the garden.

(Ceremony.)

The other Cardinal Lords and Ladies began arriving before twilight with thier families. Sesshomaru had to meet and greet every one of them as they arrived, alone. Kagome wanted to be there with him but she wasn't to meet the families until the ceremony.

First to arrive was the Dragons of the North. Lord Katsu and Lady Hana was in front and behind was their son, Haku and his mate Suri. Their daughters, Asuki and Mitsu were behind them.

"Welcome Lord and Lady of the North. I am pleased to see you as well as your family and I thank you for being here tonight." Sesshomaru recited.

"Glad to be here, Lord Sesshomaru." Lord Katsu said.

"Lord Sesshomaru, we are ever so glad to have recieved your invitation and we congratulate you for finding a mate." Lady Hana said.

Their children stepped forward to offer congatulations.

"My friend. I hope you are as happy as I am." Haku said.

He was Sesshomarus' best friend. They had grown up together, he was the only one that had seen the real Sesshomaru besides the women that currently occupied his life.

"I am. Thank you and I hope for you continuing happiness between you and your mate." he said.

Haku and Suri inclined thier heads and continued in as the girls offered their congratulations. Sesshomaru liked them, they were to young to have mates so they didn't fawn all over him.

Next to arrive were the Kitsunes of the South. Lord Ryuu and Lady Tatsu. Behind them was their son Jiro and his mate Rika. Behind them their eldest daughter Karin and her mate Shira. Behind them was their youngest daughter, Kya. She offered her congratulations with a sour tongue and went in. She wanted to be with Sesshomaru but he had never paid her any attention.

Last to arrive was the Wolves of the East. Lord Jine and Lady Natsura. Behind them was Koga and his mate Ayame. Kagomes' friends. The major Lords and Ladies were soon accompanied by the minor Lords and Ladies.


(Inuyasha.)

He was running on reserves. Inuyasha was determined to reach Sesshomarus' shiro and put a stop to the mating of his brother and "his" Kagome. He sighed with relief as Sesshomarus' shiro came into sight.

"Kagome, I'm coming." he said.

(Ceremony)


Sesshomaru went to the front of the ballroom and began his announcement.

"Welcome to all who have come. As you know you are here because I, Lord Sesshomaru, have chosen a mate. You are all here to meet my mate. May I present to you my Lady, Kagome." he said.

Before them all Kagome appeared.

"Kagome! Your Lord Sesshomarus' intended mate?" Koga asked.

"Koga! I am. It is good to see you and Ayame." she greeted them.

"What happened with dog-breath?" he asked.

"He, uh, was unfaithful. It doesn't matter, I love Sesshomaru not him." she said.

"Oh, Kagome it is so good to see you again. I have missed you, Sister." Ayame said, enveloping her in a hug.

"I have missed you, too. How's Ginta and Hakkaku? Still having trouble keeping up with Koga?" she asked.

Sesshomaru cleared his throat. When she looked at him she gave him a sheepish smile and proceeded towards him and took his arm.

"Lords and Ladies this is Kagome." he stated.

Kagome inclined her head towards them.

"I welcome you all here and hope you have a pleasant stay." she said.

"Now without further ado, whoever does not approve of our union step-forward or be silent. Those who do approve give us your blessing." he said.

"I object!" a voice yelled into the room.

(Inuyasha)

He reached the shiro gates only to have a guard to stop him.

"Who goes?" he said.

"Inuyasha. Lord Sesshomarus' half-brother." he said.

The guard before him was very young so he didn't know not to let Inuyasha in. No one ever told him not to and he had never met the hanyou before or knew of the nature of the brothers and the miko.

Inuyasha went in and sniffed his way to the ballroom. He got to the door and listened to Sesshomaru, the ceremony had already began.

"Now without further ado, whoever does not approve of our union step-forward or be silent. Those who do approve give us your blessing." Sesshomaru said.

Inuyasha burst through the doors and yelled.

"I object!"

Everyone turned towards the objector and they quickly began to scramble to the sides of the room. They felt Sesshomarus' youkai flare in the extreme and felt two powerful miko kei's flare.

"Inuyasha." Sesshomaru hissed.

"What not happy to see me? I think you should be I am the one keeping you from being forced to mate her because of my indiscretions." he said.

"Indiscretion!" a voice screeched.

Behind Inuyasha was a very pissed-off Kikyo with bow and arrows in hand, with another set on her shoulder. She walked around him to come to stand beside Kagome.

"Is that all I was to you? I can't say I am surprised to hear that but it still hurts." Kikyo said handing Kagome the extra weapon she brought.

"Kikyo, I never meant to hurt you , I love you. But I love Kagome more." he said.

"No Inuyasha, you don't love me you love my power. I am Kikyos' reincarnation, her power, my power, our power over the Shikon-no-tama. That is what draws you to us. The power that is now me and a part of Kikyo. The power that neither of us are going to share with you. Leave now." Kagome said.

Inuyasha stared at the women before him. They were so cold and full of hate for him. He went towards them and stopped right in front of them.

"Kagome..." he started.

He reached out to touch her and almost lost his hand from his brothers' sword.

"Hands off, half-breed. She is mine." Sesshomaru warned.

Inuyasha drew Tetsusaiga and started to swing at Sesshomaru.

"SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIIIIIIIT!" Kagome yelled.

All the Lords and Ladies looked at the scene that was unfolding before them. Astonished they were at the power that the mate of Sesshomaru held and that she didn't move anything but her mouth and had his brother plummetting into the floor. Koga and Ayame on the other hand began to laugh.

"Inu-baka. Kagome and Kikyo have finally seen you for what you are. You better leave for "SIT" is not the only punishment you will get." Koga warned.

"Shut-up you mangy wolf." Inuyasha spat.

"SIT, boy." Kagome yelled and he fell.

"Inuyasha do you have a death wish? Koga is the heir to the East and you have insulted him. Since he is my guest and you are regretablly my brother you have insulted me as well as Kagome." Sesshomaru said.

"Like I give a damn about you or the skinny wolf. I have come to take Kagome back." he said.

Inuyasha charged him with Tetsusaiga over his head and jumped to slice him and was thrown back in mid-air. He felt a burning pain in his shoulder and looked to see an arrow protruding from his person. He looked to see Kagome release another arrow towards him only to go through his haori sleeve.

"You will not take me anywhere and you will not fight with Sesshomaru or insult Koga. I will give you one more chance to leave or I will have no choice but to hurt you." Kagome said.

"Kagome please you promised to stay with me." he said.

"Yes I promised to stay with you. Inuyasha I did but now is the time for you to let me go. I cannot uphold my promise anymore, nor do I want to. I love you Inuyasha and I will always love you but I love Sesshomaru more. I love you and forgive you Inuyasha but I can't have a life with you." she said.

"Kagome I need you." he said.

"Inuyasha! If you love me as much as you say that you do you will let me go. After all sometimes to show that you love someone is to let them go. You have to let us both go Inuyasha for we have let you go." Kagome said.

Inuyasha stood there, his heart breaking. The women he loved wanted nothing to do with him and they had moved on without him. He was defeated, he didn't see how he could convince them to be with him. He looked at them; they stood there with bows and arrows ready to kill him is necessary. All to stay with the men they had chosen over him. He could see the sadness for him on their eyes but it was coupled with the fiery determination they both held to get what they want. It wasn't him either. He sighed and left. Never to see neither of them again.

Kikyo took the bow and arrows from Kagome and backed away. Sesshomaru came to her and held her in his arms. The Lords and Ladies of the court had listened to everyword and watched every motion. They saw Kagomes' determination to never part from Sesshomaru, her loyalty, her love, her forgiving nature, and her raw power. They saw the coldness Sesshomaru always held but they noted it was different. They saw an actual flicker of emotion in his usually unreadable eyes, it was love. They couldn't part them.

Even if the Cardinal Lords wanted him to mate a demoness they wouldn't be able to. Sesshomaru held the same look in his eyes that his father held when they had ordered him to mate Sesshomarus' mother. He mated her alright. The Inu-no-taisho mated her, got her with child, but he didn't make her his mate. They spent years trying to get him to be reasonable and make her his mate but he had found his soulmate, the human princess, Izayoi. Sesshomaru was so much like his father that they had a feeling that he would do the same as his father as well; mate said demoness, get her with his heir, never make her his mate and then he would take the miko as his mate. Like his father he would crush the heart of any demoness they thrust upon him to mate, they gave up before it even started.

"I give you the blessings of the North." Lord Katsu said.

"I, Lord Ryuu give the blessing of the South." he said.

"As do I. I give the blessing of the East upon this union." Lord Jine said.

They each gave Sesshomaru and Kagome a sweeping bow.

"I thank you all. I now wish for you to bare witness as I marry Kagome as a human would." Sesshomaru said.

That was Mirokus' cue to step forward to begin the ceremony with all necessary materials.

"You are all gathered here to bare witness to the union of Lord Sesshomaru and Lady Kagome. May you each present to me your right hand." he said.

They both held out their right hands and Miroku brought them together then bound them.

"May this tie represent the bond of marriage and the binding of the soul of these two as they are now one in the eyes of the Kami." he said.

Miroku began saying a prayer as he held up a cup of wine for each to drink from. The wine to represent the sweet and bitterness of marriage and the prayer to represent the hope of everlasting holy union.

When Miroku had finished they shared a kiss and that was the end of the human ceremony. The demon ceremony was not yet finished.
