Sesshomaru sat at his designated table watching as everyone else enjoyed themselves on the dance floor. His eyes remained on only one person, Kagome, dressed in her white gown, as was the western wedding tradition, orchids in her hair. She was breathtaking, with her dark hair glittering in the starlight. Her warm, happy spirit infected everyone around her; it wasn’t difficult to tell that this was likely the happiest day of her life. Her bride’s maids clustered around her, dressed in fashionable lavender dresses, dancing to the music of the DJ. Sesshomaru himself wore a black tux, his tie the soft purple color that matched the rest of the wedding party; an orchid that matched Kagome’s pinned on his lapel.

Sesshomaru got to his feet seeking a dance with Kagome. She welcomed him with a warm embrace lovingly, and gladly accepted his invitation. He held her gaze, her eyes catching the reflections of the colored Chinese lanterns and held them in their dark blue depths, like fragments of a gaudy rainbow. Again, he was stuck with her beauty. They danced throughout the length of a song before a hand clasped Sesshomaru’s shoulder. He didn’t need to look to know it belonged to his half-brother, Inuyasha. Kagome’s face lit up with recognition, she slipped from Sesshomaru’s grasp and into the arms of her new husband. Sesshomaru turned to the couple, offered false congratulations, a feigned smiled, and then returned to the table and his seat as best man.
