AN// Please note that this was originally part of a collaborative effort between several authors that recently fell through, this is just one chapter of that. Should the other authors decide to post their chapters the following summary should help to keep them in order. Mine follows after the end of the summary. Also if any of the other authors should read this and have a problem with anything I have written about their parts of the story, I will happily correct them.
THE STORY THUS FAR(just a short review): Sesshoumaru had left his fiancée Kagome for two years for a business trip, not so much as calling her. He suddenly calls her out of the blue and asks her to pick him up at a train station. She eventually forgives him and the wedding is back on. He lets her plan everything, to an extent that is, and she gets upset about this, and throws a fit about wearing a white dress, she eventually gets to wear a blue one. Kagome gets a little payback when they are deciding the music for the wedding when she makes him help with the invitation list. They finally get married, and she teases him about having red underwear on just before they leave for the party. Then at the party, they duck out to a balcony for some fresh air and Kagome has a fit about if all of it was really her choice to begin with. Sesshoumaru takes her hand and asks her to marry him again to which she replies "yes."

From his kneeling position he smirked at her whispered response, and kissed the ring before rising and wrapping his arms around her satin covered waist.
"Now the choice was completely yours, I would have respected your decision if you had decided to leave me, though my life would be rather dull without you. You light up my life like the sun lights up the night." He whispered in her ear as he cuddled her close.
Kagome sighed as she cuddled closer in his warm embrace, as a few more tears slipped down her cheeks.
"Yes, and now your mine forever." She whispered tenderly.
They stood like that for some time. Kagome recovering from her crying spell, and Sesshoumaru enjoying being able to hold her.
"Dearest we will eventually have to face the guests again, I'm sure their getting restless. I am also very sure that there are a few males, and especially females, waiting for us now to throw certain objects at them." He smirked.
Kagome buried her face into Sesshoumaru's silk shirt, and groaned. "uuugggg. Do we have to?"
"Afraid so love. We can't just disappear in the middle of the party." He said, and then kissed her forehead.
Kagome sighed then backed away from Sesshoumaru and straighten the sapphire satin of her wedding dress, thinking mildly of the symbolic meaning behind the color.
"Sesshoumaru why did you favor this dress from the three that I had narrowed it down to? Other than it supposedly matching my eye color, of course." She looked at him, curiosity shining in her eyes.
"White symbolizes purity in your eyes, but I proved to you earlier that it means more than just that. The reason I favored this dress other than it almost perfectly matches you eyes and compliments your features so well, which was a prominent factor I assure you, was its symbolic meanings. Sapphire traditionally symbolizes truth, sincerity, faithfulness and fidelity. I think it fits you much better than the sea green, and white one you had chosen. Which after the all fuss you put up about white, still confuses me." He raised an eyebrow at her at this. "You have always been bluntly honest with me regardless of the consequences, a trait that drew me to you in the first place. Even though I was gone for two years you never strayed to another though it would have been easy for you to do," he hooked his finger under her chin, and stroked her cheek with is thumb, "and the last because I want us to have many children together." He said before kissing her shocked lips gently, then hooking his arm with hers and reentering the party with a schooled expression, and from the lack of response from the crowd, he assumed that Kagome had managed to get hers under control as well.
The newlyweds were quickly ushered over to the platform where they would throw the garter and bouquet.
"Damn it Sesshoumaru! I thought these women were gonna rip us to shreds, they're desperate for Kags to throw that bunch of flowers....ouch!!" Inuyasha jumped as Sango twisted his furry puppy ear viciously. Sesshoumaru chuckled, and Kagome laughed at his predicament, no one picked fun at Sango, not even her masochist husband Miroku.
"Pay no attention to the mut, Kags it probably would be a good idea to throw that bouquet soon though, Ayame and the others are getting restless, and the boys can't handle it much longer." Sango chuckled pleasantly, obviously remembering her wedding where Kagome had caught the bouquet, and Sesshoumaru had caught the garter, a little more than two and a half year before.
"Well Sess let's get this show on the road." Kagome sighed.
"Indeed." Sesshoumaru said guiding her the rest of the way to the platform.
"Alright everyone, it's time for the event many of you have been waiting for, so boys to the right, girls to the left, and keep the fighting to a minimal, and no supernatural jumps to cheat. First one to stand with their respective items.....well you know how it goes." She said with a sly smile. "In addition they will also have a spotlight dance with the newlyweds!" She was having to shout to be heard over the talking by this time.
Taking their signal from Sango after everyone was in position, Kagome turned her back to the crowd and tossed the delicate white flowers over her head into the mass of waiting female hands, and the screams from the females were almost deafening. Sesshoumaru and just about every other male winced at the sound.
Now it was Sesshoumaru's turn, Sango brought a small stool over and Kagome lifted her foot up to rest on the stool. Sesshoumaru lifted the silky material of her skirt to her upper thigh to reveal the garter, his eyes tinted pink at the sight of her long leg, he grabbed the garter with his teeth and pulled it slowly off her leg, pointedly ignoring the catcalls. He was having a small problem with his self control because of the scent of arousal that escaped when he lifted her skirt, causing his eyes to turn a slightly darker shade of pink. He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply when she lowered her leg to regain his composer. He stood like nothing had happened then flicked the garter into the crowd of males. Both had ignored who had caught the items, but from the ruckus, it wasn't any planned couple.
Sesshoumaru lifted her hand to his mouth and kissed her knuckles, then led her down to the dance floor. While they were in their own little world, Sango was peaceably forcing Rin and Shippo onto the dance floor behind them.
"But I don't wanna!!" Shippo moaned, "Girls have cooties, and I don't wanna marry her either!!" he said pulling the garter off of his head. It had landed on his head like a halo.
Rin wasn't fighting nearly as hard, she walked slowly with the bouquet with a light blush on her cheeks. "uuummm....Shippo, let's not fight, It'll make nee-san sad to see us fight, and aniki will be mad if we make her sad." She whispered. Shippo stopped in his tracks, and then walked next to Rin on his own.
"Ok, ok let's get this over with, I would never wanna make Kagome upset, so let's dance Rin." He said taking Rins hand and stepping into the spotlight with Kagome and Sesshoumaru. They started to dance when the music began. Shippo started blushing when all the women started cooing about how cute he and Rin were. Rin turned a bright red when Sesshoumaru complimented them as well.
All to soon the dance ended and the couple was next led to the giant white cake. They cut the cake together, pulling the first piece out with practiced ease. Sesshoumaru fed Kagome the first bite flawlessly, Kagome got a mischievous idea mid-act. She managed to miss his mouth and smear the heavily frosted cake all over his cheek. His expression was priceless. The crowd was silent at first then they erupted into fits of laughter. Kagome smiled smugly at Sesshoumaru, then leaned up to whisper in his ear.
"Now we're even."
