One Last Chance
For the rest of the week, Kagome and InuYasha have not spoken one word to each other and have only been around their respectable spouses. Sango, Rinaka, Sesshoumaru, and Miroku have decided to also give him the silent treatment as well and haven't spoken so much as two words to him or Kikyo. Kouga has been completely clueless at what happened between the two since he was busy appreciating the extra attention that Kagome has been giving him. Finally, it's the night before the wedding and all the girls decided to throw Kikyo a Bachelorette party and all the guys threw InuYasha a bachelor party.
~*~
During the guys party; Kouga, Miroku, Sesshoumaru, and InuYasha were trying not to do anything that would jeopardize their status in their relationship but all the while still have fun. A knock on the door silence the talk and drunken slang going on inside the hotel room. “Who is it?”, one of the party attendees said peeking through the peephole in the hotel door. “There's a call for a person in need of help in this room”, a rough voice said on the other side of the door. InuYasha looked around the hotel room and frown before walking up to the door. “You must have the wrong room because there's no one here who's sick”, InuYasha said talking to the door. “Could we have a look through… just to be sure, sir”, the rough voice answered back. Kouga motioned the attendees to back away from the door as InuYasha begun unlocking the top of the door.
At that moment the five bodies came into the hotel room, all eyes were on the new attendees. One of the five bodies moved to close the door and blew a whistle. The other four bodies began to strip their medical garments to show even more revealing garments underneath. Then the fifth body joined the other four in the minor strip tease as all the guys in the party began to whoop and holler. Finally all five bodies removed their head gear to reveal long glorious hair and their feminine faces. The presumed leader walked up to InuYasha, pressing her body against his and smirked saying, “Are you the groom to be?” InuYasha only nodded his head to the seductive voice as she pushed him into a nearby chair and started to give him a lap dance. All the guys paid attention to the other four girls available that were dancing on table tops and high chairs while InuYasha enjoyed the view.

At the Bachelorette party, Kikyo had sexy male strippers for her attendees. While Sango and Rinaka had been enjoying themselves, Kagome couldn't simply let herself go when her thoughts kept coming back to Kouga and InuYasha. So she decided to take a break and sit outside the balcony but every time she looked across the balcony, she kept seeing the Bachelor's party and again thinking of her problem. So she left Kikyo's hotel room and went downstairs to the hotel's private lounge/bar and decided to just relax her mind there due to the emptiness of the place at this time of night. She awaited there until she noticed that across from the lounge laid a private terrace so people can admire the ocean view more closely. She went over and let her thoughts spill out there.
~*~
At InuYasha's Bachelor party, he was having a good time but had gotten bored with the stripper and decided to take a break from the constant cleavage and ass flashes that seemed to pop out everywhere within the room. He walked around the hotel mindlessly and somehow ended up outside Kikyo's room. From the sound of the loud music and whopping and hollering, the girls were having too much of a good time. Suddenly the door opened and a male stripper wearing only a g-string ran out with Sango on his shoulder, swinging her around mercilessly with her laughing wildly. The two was oblivious to InuYasha and kept laughing and screaming as the music went louder.
InuYasha peeked his head inside the room and saw that all the women there were having as much fun as Sango but that someone was missing. The stripper spun around once more before rushing back into the room with Sango and locking the door. InuYasha barely saved his face as the door slammed in front of it. He went down to the hotel's lobby, into the lounge and grabbed a drink from the bar. He turned in his seat and saw Kagome sitting in a chair out on the terrace across from the lounge. He figured this was a sign to make things right before his wedding and went over to her.
“Oh…hi InuYasha”, Kagome said jumping a bit from the surprise approach. InuYasha pulled up a chair next to Kagome and took a seat. “Umm, yeah hi… so how have you been enjoying yourself these past days?”, he asked looking away from her as she glared at him. “I'm recovering, you?”, she shot back with the meanest attitude in her voice. “Kags, I'm sorry things couldn't work out like you wanted to. But you have to understand that I love Kikyo with all my heart and couldn't do anything to hurt her”, he pleaded. “You said those same words to me once Yash. How could you have stopped loving me? Even with all the years that have passed, I never once stop thinking about you”, Kagome said trying to hold back tears. “Kags, I never said I didn't love you…”, he began.
Kagome's eyes shot up the moment he said that and she tried to smile at him. “…as a friend”, he finished. Kagome bowed her head down again and began to sniffle. “Look, the only reason, I stop loving you that way is because you felt that your career was more important than me at the time. I was heartbroken, Kags… How could you expect me to just stay the same after all these years and still long for you? I'm not a toy, I'm only hanyou”, he said wiping the tears she let escaped from her cheek. “Yeah, but I'm human too. I make mistakes, Yash. I never meant to do that to you and you knew that I couldn't just give up my dream after working so hard on it”, she whimpered against his hand. “Believe me, Kags … I don't think there was anyone who knew you more than I did. But I just can't do this any more”, he said standing up and pulling his hand away.
At this point, Kagome wasn't going to let him go away without having the last word. “You were the one who always made the first move! You were the one who kissed me… who fucked me godammit!”, she said grabbing his hand and spinning him around. “SO DON'T YOU DARE GIVE ME THAT BULLSHIT OF HOW IT WAS ALL MY IMPULSE AND MY FAULT BECAUSE I ASSURE YOU THAT…”, Kagome began screaming before she was cut off in a deep kiss given by InuYasha. She relaxed against him as he pulled his body closer to her own. As always, her hands found their way up to his little ears and started rubbing as he release a low growl in his throat. When he finally pulled away, the two were breathless and lost in the depth of each other's eyes. “I never stopped loving you like this Kags… but times and circumstances make us forbidden from each other”, he whispered against her ear. Kagome finally broke down and dug her face into his chest as she muttered, “I love you too Yash, and I won't ever stop.”
Kagome then began thinking of Kouga again and pulled away from InuYasha. InuYasha had a confusing expression on his face until Kagome sat him down and began singing to him.

Kagome decided to pull away from InuYasha before she goes too far. InuYasha stops her from leaving and sees that she was about to cry. “Kags, we understand why we can't be, right?”, he said gripping her hand to emphasize his point. Kagome nodded and forced a smile on her lips. “I'll learn to just drop the whole thing, right?”, she shot back sarcastically before pulling her hand away from his. She then wiped her tears away before running back to Kikyo's Bachelorette party and leaving InuYasha to watch her walk away.
~*~
Next morning was the wedding and everyone was there and ready for the bride and groom to be to be wed. The ceremony begins with the guests coming and taking their seats. The wedding takes place outdoors near a church and with the weather being beautiful and warm, the day couldn't be more perfect. The girls wore light pastel colored dresses all cut in a similar way with spaghetti straps and a slant to the edges of the dress. Sango, Rinaka, and Kagome had their hair placed into an elegant bun and all wore low heels matching their dress color. The guys all wore simple suits with different dark colored blazers, a matching pastel color of their spouse with the inside shirt, and blank pants and shoes. Sango, Miroku, Rinaka, Sesshoumaru, Kagome, and Kouga, had all sat around the middle of the seating on the groom's side to get a perfect view of everything. Sango and Rinaka sat next to Kagome to coax her through this day. So the seating arrangements were as following, Miroku, then Sango, next to her was Kagome and Kouga, behind Sango was Sesshoumaru and behind Kagome and next to Sesshoumaru was Rinaka. The wedding song finally begun and everyone stood as InuYasha appeared next to the preacher and Kikyo began to walk down the aisle.
While watching Kikyo walk down the aisle, Kagome dug her nails into her palms to prevent from lashing out. Kagome then calms down as Kouga holds her hands and smile at her. When Kikyo finally reached the groom, everyone sat down and the exchanging of vows began. Midway through Kikyo's declaration of her promises, InuYasha couldn't stop glancing at Kagome and frowned as he saw the hurt in her eyes. Once Kikyo finished her vows the preacher spoke again. “Now, Mr. Takahashi do you take this woman as you're lawfully wedded wife? To love, to honor, to cherish, through sick and poor, through good times and bad, until death do you part?” InuYasha glanced at Kagome again and nodded his head before saying yes. “Now is there anyone here today who wishes this union to not be?”, the preacher said looking out over the crowd. Sango, along with Rinaka, felt Kagome tremble and grips her hand and her shoulders to make her calm down. InuYasha glances at Kagome one last time and takes a deep breath. “Now, in the power vest…”, the preacher began. “WAIT!”, InuYasha whispered letting go of Kikyo's hands.
Everyone witnessing the ceremony began to murmur and whisper to each other at the quiet outburst. InuYasha pulled Kikyo away from in front of the preacher and asked her, “Kikyo, I need to know do you love me?” “Well, that's a stupid question. I wouldn't be here if I didn't”, Kikyo said with a nervous chuckle. “Exactly my point… how can I stand here and make these vows when… I don't really love you”, he said backing away from her. Kikyo began to cry and glances over to Kagome. “You love me… but not like you love her… am I correct?”, she said through her sniffles. “I'm sorry”, was all he could utter before Kikyo began marching off and away from the crowd. InuYasha then turned and whispered something to the preacher before turning back to the crowd. “The wedding is off. We realized that we can't be… sorry to waste your time”, he said looking to the ground.
Kagome felt her heart tear into two places. On one side she was happy that Kikyo was out of InuYasha's life but on the other she wished that it didn't have to come to this. So after most of the guest have left, Kagome found Kikyo standing at the end of the aisle again. “I'm sorry”, she whispered into Kikyo's ear before backing away. Kikyo looked at Kagome with teary eyes and gave her a stiff hug. “I can't even be mad with you. I knew this would happen, but I was just hoping… he's always been in love with you and still is. You stole his heart the day he met you and there's no way for me to compete… I don't know why I even tried”, Kikyo said wiping away the last of her tears. “Yeah, but every girl dreams about her wedding day, you know. And it's sad to see yours destroyed this way. No, I'm not just doing this out of pity but I'm hoping we can try to be friends”, Kagome said holding out her hands for Kikyo to shake.
Kikyo shook her hands and grab the bouquet she held again as InuYasha approached the two. “Yeah right bitch, all you have is pity for me…don't worry you'll get yours”, she thought while hiding her feelings with a fake smile. “Okay, since when did you two start becoming friends? And why do I feel like I should worry?”, he tried to joke. “Yash, this is not the time…”, Kagome began. “It's okay. We're friends now, right Yash?”, Kikyo said smiling a bit at InuYasha. InuYasha shook his head and stood in between the two ladies. Soon after, Kouga called Kagome over so he could take her home. Kagome waved goodbye to both Kikyo and InuYasha and ignored the frown she saw on InuYasha's face as she left the ceremony.

In the van ride back to the hotel, Sango and Miroku, Rinaka and Sesshoumaru, and Kagome and Kouga sat silently next to each other. Sesshoumaru and Rinaka were in the back with Kagome and Kouga in the middle and Sango and Miroku were in the front seats driving. Sango gave Miroku a frown and pointed back their friends. “We gotta fix that problem, right?”, she whispered into Miroku's ear. He shook his head and playfully hit her hand with the other hand not on the wheel. “If we fix that problem, we are creating problems between her and IT so don't even try it”, he nipped back at her. Sango sighed and looked over to Rinaka and Sesshoumaru half asleep in the back seats of the van before hitting Rinaka to make her snap out of it. “Just leave them be for now, San”, Rinaka muttered snuggling closer to Sesshoumaru. “Why don't you show them the good way to be a couple?”, Sesshoumaru said with a smirk on his face while indicating for Sango and Miroku to sleep together. Sango manages to blush before Miroku threw a soft toy to Sesshoumaru's face, causing everyone in the car to laugh.
