Chapter 1

"Hey Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled from downstairs. "Hurry up or we'll be late!"

"Sorry! I'm coming!" she yelled back, taking a quick once over at her appearance in the mirror before grabbing her teal bridesmaid dress and heading down stairs.

"Geez, took you long enough," Inuyasha grumbled holding the front door open for Kagome. "All you had to do was put on makeup and do your hair.

"Stop complaining," she replied and made her way to the car. "And hurry up Inuyasha! We're going to be late!" she mocked when she was inside the car and he was still locking the front door.

"Oi! I've been saying that for the past 20 minutes woman!" he seethed.

Kagome giggled as he got in the car scowling. "You look nice in your suit," she commented. "It took foreeevvver to find that thing though."

He started the car and backed out of the driveway before commenting. "You're the one who asked me to go with you to this wedding."

"Hey! You were invited as well! And you're a groomsmen for crying out loud!"

"Doesn't mean I wanted to go though! You know that me and Koga don't get along and-"

"You get along fine. You were just mad in the past because Koga hit on me so much in high school...and up until he met Ayame."

"-not to mention my bastard brother is going to be there..." His ears flattened to his head.

I looked at him wide-eyed and surprised. "Sesshomaru? Why would he be attending?"

"Business. With Kouga being the leader of his families corporation now, he and the bastard will be business partners. The bastard makes sure to keep up with his partners and keep up his appearance, I'll give him that much."

"Ya know, I've never really met your brother. I've only seen pictures in magazines and the newspaper. He's a full demon right?"

"Yeah," was his only response.

Wow, a full demon, Kagome thought. There aren't many of those around anymore.

    Demon's had in fact made themselves known too humans but not without the help of deception and magic. Under the pressure and possibility of extinction they came out claiming they had special abilities but were not a danger. Most demons used magic or their abilities to change their appearance so they looked more human. This all happened before Kagome was even born. The human race eventually got used to them Kagome supposed because they lived in the closest thing to harmony there is now. There were humans and demons that didn't trust or like either race. But that was probably normal.

As for Kagome she didn't hate demons. Inuyasha, her best friend, was half demon after all! Not to mention she had several other demon friends, including Koga, among her human friends.

"We're here," Inuyasha said glumly, as if he was approaching his death.

"Oh cheer up! You got me with you after all!" She nudged him with her elbow smiling.

When they were parked they got out and walked to the front door of the hotel that was being rented out for the ceremony and reception. They went ahead of the line that was being made who must have been people who were not on the list and just wanted to get glimpses of celebrities.

"Invitation, names, and identification," asked a man with a security guard to his left.

"Bridesmaid Higurashi Kagome and groomsmen Inuyasha Taisho," Kagome answered while Inuyasha and Kagome both pulled out their ID's for the man.
