Chapter V: My Everything
Kagome woke up to harsh knocking on the door making her jump up and fall straight on her face. "Ugggh. Who in the hell...?" Kagome groaned as she got up and slowly walked to the door.
"Hey, Kaggy." The cheerful voice squeaked.
"Kikyo?" Kagome said in shock. Her eyes scanned over the girl in the pretty pink sundress. Her ebony locks bone straight down her back. A sugary, sweet kool-aid smile on her face that made Kagome wanted to get an insulin shot. She thought she had to be having a nightmare for sure. "What are you doing here?"
"Picking you up for the brunch." She said.
"It's..." Kagome looked up to the cooky analog clock on the wall. "Seven in the morning. I thought brunch was 10:00 am at the earliest."
"What the hell is going on this time of morning?" Sango shouted making Kikyo jump. Sango stormed to the front door. "Who the hell are you?!" She said with her usual morning crankiness.
Kikyo jumped back. "Um...well..."
"Hey, whatever you selling we ain't buying."
Kagome giggled. "Sango this is Kikyo."
Sango smiled sheepishly. "Uh...hey." She then gave looked at Kagome and rolled her eyes.
"You must be Sango." Kikyo said flashing a smile. "InuYasha has told me so much about you."
Sango grunted. "I bet he has. So, what the fuck are you doing at my door."
Kikyo gasped. "Beg you pardon." She said grabbing her chest
Kagome blushed. "I'm sorry. It's just how Sango is." She said giving Sango a look at that said 'Shut up'
"Oh." Kikyo complied. "I'm here to steal Kagome away from you for awhile."
"Okay, but if I don't here from her in 24 hours. I'm out in the streets and hunting your ass down." Sango said with a smile.
"Ha, that's comical." Kikyo nervously giggled.
Sango's smile then disappeared into an emotionless mask. "I'm not kidding. Nice meeting you, Kikyo." She said walking to the back room.
"Well...." Kagome said. "I better get some clothes on."
"Oh, you won't need any clothes." Kikyo said.
Kagoem quirked up her eyebrow "Repeat yourself."
Kikyo smiled brightly "We're going shopping."
"Oh, no. That's okay. I have clothes."
"InuYasha didn't tell you."
Kagome shook her head. "Tell me what?"
"It's a formal brunch."
Kagome plastered on a fake smile. "No, he didn't tell me." She sighed. 'That bastard'
"Well, I don't have a formal dress and I don't feel like shopping soooo....bye." Kagome said getting ready to close the door.
Kikyo quickly stuck her foot into the door. "Oh, no! I want you to go so bad. InuYasha wants you to go."
Kagome groaned. "Mmm, I don't know."
"Oh, it'll be fun." Kikyo said grabbing Kagome's arm and pulling her out the door.
Kagome quickly shut the door behind them. "Since you insist."She said as she reluctantly was dragged to a traditional drop top mustang.
"Well, hop in." Kikyo said walking over to the driver's side.
"W...where's InuYasha?"
"He's probably sleep." Kikyo said hopping into the car.
"What do you mean, "sleep". He isn't going with us?"
"No, silly. It's just you and me. Now, hop in." She said patting the passengers seat.
Kagome groaned. 'Just my luck' She thought as she got into the mustang and Kikyo sped off making Kagome head snap into the headrest.

A man with long ebony tresses and strong muscular features sat in his chair smoking a cigar.
Then a woman with short black hair and piercing ruby eyes walked up to him."Naraku, I was wondering did you hear about the Takahashi wedding."
"What are you talking about, Kagura?" He said.
She threw a newspaper on his lap. "Read for yourself."
"Daughter of the wealthy Cain Takahashi, Kikyo Takahashi, will be married to a small time investor, InuYasha Taisho, this weekend. "It will be small wedding with just close nit family and friends in my parents backyard." says daughter Kikyo, but knowing the Takahashis it won't be small in their huge 15.05 acre backyard. Cheers to the happy couple."
Naraku read silently and his blood boiled more with every word. "What is this?!" He roared after his finished.
"It appears Kikyo is getting married."
"Married?! My Kikyo gettting married to a small time investor. This can't be. It...it won't be."
"Why won't you just let things go? She's happy. You're happy. Don't make this bigger than it is"
"Oh, you don't know shit. Kikyo was mine. She still is. We've just tooken a little break until she got her head together."
Kagura sighed. It was funny how he was so possesive yet he treated women like shit. Since she was his personal assistant, she knew of Naraku and Kikyo's relationship. He constantly cheated on her and she had to be the one to cover for him. Kagura was glad that Kikyo finally broke it off with him. She was personally tired of his mistreatment to her and women in general. "I'm happy for her." Kagura said before walking out of the office.
Naraku slammed his fist on the table. 'I won't let you go, Kikyo. I always get what I want.'
=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=
"How about this dress, Kagome." Kikyo said holding up a slinky hot pink dress. "It's too cute!" She squeaked.
If looks could kill Kikyo would be chopped and screwed by the way Kagome cut daggers into her. "I thought it was a formal dinner not a strip club." She said with distain.
Kikyo giggled. "Oh, you're so funny, Kaggy." She said before putting the dress on the rack.
Kagome smiled a sacharin smile before rolling her eyes once Kikyo turned to put the dress back. 'Does the Gods hate me or something' She thought as she eyed the numerous of skanky dresses.
"Okay, this is the one." Kikyo said holding up a fire engine red dress that seemed like it was only two inches. "Huh? It's cute isn't it." Kikyo sang as she made a little dance with the dress in her hand.
"Cute isn't the word for it." Kagome scoffed as she found a simple black spagehetti strapped dress. "Now, this is more like it."
"No that dress wouldn't go. Trust me. I know what's best." Kikyo said.
"I know what's best for myself, thank you" Kagome said through clenched teeth. Kikyo was beginning to get on her nerves. She hated her so much she wanted to cry. This Kikyo girl held everything she wanted and couldn't have. She was so sugary and sweet that she gave Kagome a tooth ache. She was so rich and spoiled that one would suspect she grew her own money. To top it all off, she had the man of her dreams. Even though Kagome didn't want to admit it, she wanted it all. She wanted the gushy lovey dovey lifestyle. Have a marriage, kids, the whole nine, and she wanted it with InuYasha.
"So," Kikyo drawled out. "Are you going to get it?"
"No.” Kagome flatly said.
"Well, just try something else. What about this one?" Kikyo said holding up a purple dress that seemed like it went through a paper shredder.
"You've got to be kidding me, right?"
=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=
"So, did you tell, Kagome." Sesshomaru said as he straigtened out his black tuxedo.
He looked in the floor length mirror and frowned. "Jacket's too small." He whispered to himself before shrugging it off.
"Tell her what. Oww." InuYasha said looking down to the man tailoring his suit. "Hey, be careful with those pins."
"Sorry, Mr. Taisho." The man humbly apologized.
"Tell her about her parents." Sesshomaru turned to a man working in the store. “Can you get me this same jacket a size up.” He said tossing the former jacket to him.
“Sure thing.” The man said catching it and walking off.
“I haven’t really got around to it. I don’t really know how to tell her. Owww.” InuYasha glared the tailor. “Poke me one more time with that.”
“Sorry.”
“What do you mean? How do you not know how. Just tell her.”
“Will this one work?” The man said handing Sesshomaru another jacket. He grabbed it and pulled it on.
“I can’t just blurt it out to her. She’s my friend and I care about her. I’ll tell her when the time is right.”
“I guess you know what’s best.” Sesshomaru said brushing off the jacket as he admired his tall frame in the mirror. “Yeah, this will do. Take about an inch off the cuff though.” He said taking it off and throwing it to the worker.
The man caught it and bowed. “Of course.”
“So,” InuYasha drawled.
“So what?” Sesshomaru said sitting down on a nearby ottoman.
“So, you know there’s going to be a lot of girls at this little brunch. Maybe even more at the wedding.”
“You’re point is...”
InuYasha scoffed. “My point is that maybe you can score some hot ass.”
Sesshomaru couldn’t help but smile. “Hot ass? Brother, are you nuts?”
“Damn, Sess, the last girl you were with was like a hundred years ago.”
“I still can’t see your point. Maybe I like to be alone and maybe I like to concentrate on my business and not “hot ass” as you so pleasantly put it.” ‘Or maybe I’m in love with Kagome’ He then sighed to try and release some of the hurt that's been built up for the past two years.
“Can I ask you a serious question, Sess. Please, answer truthfully.”
Sesshomaru panicked. ‘Was he going to ask me about my pathetic unspoken love’
“Yeah, what is it?”
“Are you gay?”
Sesshomaru couldn’t help fall over into a fit of laughter. "What?!" He exclaimed.
"I don't see how this is funny. Me and Pops were talking and..."
"Stop right there. There's the mistake. You and Pops. How could you trust anything that comes out of that old coot's mouth?"
"I thought he was on to something. I mean, I've always known you to have at least five women at your side. Shit, I learned most of my moves from you," Sesshomaru smirked."..but lately you've been out of it."
"I've just been focusing all of myself on my work. Contrary to what you and Pops think, I have had some women over. " Sesshomaru smirked. "Just behind closed doors."
"Give me name, place, time and..."InuYasha smiled a devilish grin. "..Details?" He said always eager to hear his brother's stories. Stories that could only come true in his dreams.
"A gentleman does not kiss and tell."
"That's something a fag would say." InuYasha joked.
"Fuck you." Sesshomaru said politely.
"You wish, fag."
"Says the one tying the knot." Sesshomaru scoffed.
InuYasha blushed. "Says the one....fuck you."
"Sesshomaru one. Ingrate, zero."
=*=*=*=*=*=*=
Kagome looked at herself in the floor length mirror of the dressing room. "I look like a skank." She whispered as she eyed the purple dress that made her look like a back up dancer for a Tina Turner concert.
"Do you need help in there?" Kikyo yelled from outside.
"No!" She sighed then looked into the mirror again. "I'm fine." She whispered.
"Then come out! We're kind of running out of time!"
Kagome reluctantly opened the door and walked out of the dressing room to be facing Kikyo with a Kool-Aid smile plasterd on her face.
"You look awesome!" She shrieked out.
"You know I don't look awesome."
"Okay, here's the last dress." Kikyo said handing her a dress. "Try it on."
Kagome eyed the dress. "Alright, but I don't think this would look good on me." She said walking back into the dressing room.
Kikyo waited a few minutes before Kagome stepped back out. "Wow! You look gorgeous. Yeah, that's the one."
"You think?"
"Every man in there will simply drool over you."
Kagome's eyesbrow quirked up. "Every man."
"Sure. Why wouldn't they?"
Kagome smiled mischieviously "Then I'll take it."
=*=*=*=*=*=*=
InuYasha and Sesshomaru idly waited in front of Kikyo's apartment. InuYasha sighed and looked at his watch. "Why are they taking so long?" He whined as he leaned against the his black sedan.
"Because they're young ladies and, well, that's what they do."
"But they're taking forever. It's eleven forty-five! It won't be a brunch anymore at this rate."
"Patience is a virtue, young brother." Sesshomaru said calmly as he straightened the black tie of his suit.
"You're such a fag for saying something like that."
"Yeah, and you're such a fag for wearing a bow-tie." Sesshomaru said smirking at his suit.
"Hey!" InuYasha exclaimed. "Yeah, well, you're such a fag for getting mani-pedis every Sunday. Hah, I bet didn't you think I knew about that."
Sesshomaru smirked. "You're such a fag for calling them mani-pedis."
"Well, you're such a..well...um..."InuYasha stammered. "Fuck you, man!"
"Sesshomaru, two. Half wit, zero."
InuYasha scowled his older brother as he folded his arms and huffed like a little kid. "I'd wish they hurry up already."
Then Kikyo came walking out of the house with a fine black strapless gown that hugged her figure well and her hair was in a high, curly pony. She quickly ran up to the car in her heels and gave InuYasha a chaste kiss. "Sorry for the wait, but Kagome is almost impossible. She wouldn't let me touch her hair and tried to cut me when I wanted to put some make-up on her face."
InuYasha chuckled. "That's Kagome for ya. So, where is she?"
Kikyo looked behind her and sighed. "Oh, man. Kagome?!" She yelled. "Come on! We're going to be late!"
"I'm not coming out looking like this!" Kagome's voice yelled from the door.
"You look beautiful!"
"I look like a whore!" She yelled back.
Kikyo turned to InuYasha. "She does not look like a whore."
"Oh, come, Kag! You know I hate to wait!" InuYasha yelled.
"Alright, but nobody laugh!" Kagome said as she stepped out of the house.
InuYasha and Sesshomaru jaws dropped when she came out. They had to swallow to regain moisture back to their mouths.
Kagome had on a flawless wine red halter dress that fitted her body like a second skin and flowed down to her ankles. A small split gave a sneak peak at her smooth creamy legs. Her hair was in deep dramtic waves that flowed down her back.
InuYasha almost lost himself in her and her beauty only got more unbearable as she inched closer to them.
Kagome got nervous under everybody's eyes. "I shouldn't have came out."
InuYasha shook his head of his thoughts. "No, you look gorgeous." He said softly.
Kagome blushed. "You really think so?"
“Of course.” He said eyeing her in the dress.
Kikyo looked onto the two "friends" and jealously struck to her heart like a bow on a target. "I bet your fiance would love you in that, Kaggy"
Kagome wanted to scratch her eyes out for saying that and ruining a good moment.
InuYasha shook his head to throw himself out of his stupor. "Yeah, I bet Hugo would."
"It's Hojo!" Kagome fumed.
"Whatever. Well, it's best we get going." He said grabbing his car keys out of his pocket and walked over to the driver's side.
"Shotgun!" Kikyo squeaked as she dashed into the passenger' side.
Sesshomaru looked at Kagome and rolled his eyes making her giggle. He smirked before he opened the backseat door for her.
"Thanks, Sess." She said scooting in.
"No problem." He said getting in himself and shutting the door.
"Hang on." InuYasha said as he reved up the sedan and zoomed off.
Sesshomaru couldn't take his eyes off of Kagome. She was gorgeous and perfect to him. Everything she did made his stomach flip.
Kagome looked up to see Sesshomaru staring at her intently. "What's going on, Sess?"
His stomach flipped the very moment she spoke and Sesshomaru shook his head. "Nothing. You just look really nice today, and you know I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it."
She smiled genuinely. "Thanks, Sess. So, what's been up. I heard from Papa Taisho that you've been playing it low."
Sesshomaru cringed. He would have a talk with his grandpa about spilling out his business to the world. "Well, work is picking up and I have to be on my P's and Q's about things."
"Oh, because for a minute there I thought the almighty Sesshomaru had took off his player's hat."
"No, you can never do that. Once it’s on, you can never take it off."
"I hope that's not true." Kagome giggled. "It's a shame though."
"What's a shame?"
"That a perfect man like you can't settle down and.." She gestered towards InuYasha. "He can off all people. There must be something wrong with the insitute of marriage."
Sesshomaru hid his blush with perfection and smirked. "Must be."
"Are you guys talking about me? My ears are twitching." InuYasha said looking into the rearview mirror.
"Oh, just keep your eyes on the road." Kagome giggled.
"Hey, Sess, don't try no shit back there. Kagome's an engaged woman.”
“Why do always suspect Sess of trying anything? How do you know I wouldn’t.” Kagome joked.
“Because you’re as plain as vanilla ice cream.” He quipped. “The thought of you doing something like that might make you pull out your hand sanitizer.”
“Hey, that’s not true!” Kagome eyes widened. “Where is my sanitizer? I left it at home.” She whined.
“Like I said..” InuYasha said. “Vanilla.”
=*=*=*=*=*=*=
“Miroku, you’ve been watching cartoons all morning! You said you were going to handle things. There are bills to be paid around here.”
“Calm down, baby. I got this.” Miroku said stuffing a spoonful of Fruity Pebbles in his mouth.
Sango sighed. “You’re worthless. I’ll go job hunting tommorrow.” She said walking into the kitchen. Then the doorbell rang. “Honey, could you get that.”
“Huh?”
“I said could you....” Sango sighed. “Nevermind.” She said walking into the living room and opened the front door.
There stood a man with a boyish face and sandy brown hair that complimented his brown eyes. “Who are you?” Sango asked.
“It’s to my understanding that Kagome stays here for the time being.”
Sango gave him a dubious look and folded her arms. “Who wants to know?” She loved Kagome as a sister and wasn’t going to give out her info to some stranger.
“Her fiance.”

Kagome woke up to harsh knocking on the door making her jump up and fall straight on her face. "Ugggh. Who in the hell...?" Kagome groaned as she got up and slowly walked to the door.
"Hey, Kaggy." The cheerful voice squeaked.
"Kikyo?" Kagome said in shock. Her eyes scanned over the girl in the pretty pink sundress. Her ebony locks bone straight down her back.

Sango smiled sheepishly. "Uh...hey." She then gave looked at Kagome and rolled her eyes.
"You must be Sango." Kikyo said flashing a smile. "InuYasha has told me so much about you."
Sango grunted. "I bet he has. So, what the fuck are you doing at my door."
Kikyo gasped. "Beg you pardon." She said grabbing her chest
Kagome blushed. "I'm sorry. It's just how Sango is." She said giving Sango a look at that said 'Shut up'
"Oh." Kikyo complied. "I'm here to steal Kagome away from you for awhile."
"Okay, but if I don't here from her in 24 hours. I'm out in the streets and hunting your ass down." Sango said with a smile.

Kagome quickly shut the door behind them. "Since you insist."She said as she reluctantly was dragged to a traditional drop top mustang.
"Well, hop in." Kikyo said walking over to the driver's side.
"W...where's InuYasha?"
"He's probably sleep." Kikyo said hopping into the car.
"What do you mean, "sleep". He isn't going with us?"
"No, silly. It's just you and me. Now, hop in." She said patting the passengers seat.
Kagome groaned. 'Just my luck' She thought as she got into the mustang and Kikyo sped off making Kagome head snap into the headrest.

A man with long ebony tresses and strong muscular features sat in his chair smoking a cigar.
Then a woman with short black hair and piercing ruby eyes walked up to him."Naraku, I was wondering did you hear about the Takahashi wedding."
"What are you talking about, Kagura?" He said.
She threw a newspaper on his lap. "Read for yourself."
"Daughter of the wealthy Cain Takahashi, Kikyo Takahashi, will be married to a small time investor, InuYasha Taisho, this weekend.

Cheers to the happy couple."
Naraku read silently and his blood boiled more with every word. "What is this?!" He roared after his finished.
"It appears Kikyo is getting married."
"Married?! My Kikyo gettting married to a small time investor. This can't be. It...it won't be."
"Why won't you just let things go? She's happy. You're happy. Don't make this bigger than it is"

"Do you need help in there?" Kikyo yelled from outside.

"Then come out! We're kind of running out of time!"
Kagome reluctantly opened the door and walked out of the dressing room to be facing Kikyo with a Kool-Aid smile plasterd on her face.

InuYasha and Sesshomaru idly waited in front of Kikyo's apartment. InuYasha sighed and looked at his watch. "Why are they taking so long?" He whined as he leaned against the his black sedan.
"Because they're young ladies and, well, that's what they do."
"But they're taking forever. It's eleven forty-five! It won't be a brunch anymore at this rate."
"Patience is a virtue, young brother." Sesshomaru said calmly as he straightened the black tie of his suit.
"You're such a fag for saying something like that."
"Yeah, and you're such a fag for wearing a bow-tie." Sesshomaru said smirking at his suit.
"Hey!" InuYasha exclaimed. "Yeah, well, you're such a fag for getting mani-pedis every Sunday. Hah, I bet didn't you think I knew about that."
Sesshomaru smirked. "You're such a fag for calling them mani-pedis."
"Well, you're such a..well...um..."InuYasha stammered. "Fuck you, man!"
"Sesshomaru, two. Half wit, zero."
InuYasha scowled his older brother as he folded his arms and huffed like a little kid. "I'd wish they hurry up already."
Then Kikyo came walking out of the house with a fine black strapless gown that hugged her figure well and her hair was in a high, curly pony. She quickly ran up to the car in her heels and gave InuYasha a chaste kiss. "Sorry for the wait, but Kagome is almost impossible. She wouldn't let me touch her hair and tried to cut me when I wanted to put some make-up on her face."
InuYasha chuckled. "That's Kagome for ya. So, where is she?"
Kikyo looked behind her and sighed. "Oh, man. Kagome?!" She yelled. "Come on! We're going to be late!"
"I'm not coming out looking like this!" Kagome's voice yelled from the door.
"You look beautiful!"
"I look like a whore!" She yelled back.
Kikyo turned to InuYasha. "She does not look like a whore."
"Oh, come, Kag! You know I hate to wait!" InuYasha yelled.
"Alright, but nobody laugh!" Kagome said as she stepped out of the house.
InuYasha and Sesshomaru jaws dropped when she came out. They had to swallow to regain moisture back to their mouths.
Kagome had on a flawless wine red halter dress that fitted her body like a second skin and flowed down to her ankles. A small split gave a sneak peak at her smooth creamy legs. Her hair was in deep dramtic waves that flowed down her back.
InuYasha almost lost himself in her and her beauty only got more unbearable as she inched closer to them.
Kagome got nervous under everybody's eyes. "I shouldn't have came out."
InuYasha shook his head of his thoughts. "No, you look gorgeous." He said softly.
Kagome blushed. "You really think so?"
“Of course.” He said eyeing her in the dress.
Kikyo looked onto the two "friends" and jealously struck to her heart like a bow on a target. "I bet your fiance would love you in that, Kaggy"
Kagome wanted to scratch her eyes out for saying that and ruining a good moment.
InuYasha shook his head to throw himself out of his stupor. "Yeah, I bet Hugo would."
"It's Hojo!" Kagome fumed.
"Whatever. Well, it's best we get going." He said grabbing his car keys out of his pocket and walked over to the driver's side.
"Shotgun!" Kikyo squeaked as she dashed into the passenger' side.
Sesshomaru looked at Kagome and rolled his eyes making her giggle. He smirked before he opened the backseat door for her.
"Thanks, Sess." She said scooting in.
"No problem." He said getting in himself and shutting the door.
"Hang on." InuYasha said as he reved up the sedan and zoomed off.
Sesshomaru couldn't take his eyes off of Kagome. She was gorgeous and perfect to him. Everything she did made his stomach flip.
Kagome looked up to see Sesshomaru staring at her intently. "What's going on, Sess?"
His stomach flipped the very moment she spoke and Sesshomaru shook his head. "Nothing. You just look really nice today, and you know I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it."
She smiled genuinely. "Thanks, Sess. So, what's been up. I heard from Papa Taisho that you've been playing it low."
Sesshomaru cringed. He would have a talk with his grandpa about spilling out his business to the world. "Well, work is picking up and I have to be on my P's and Q's about things."
"Oh, because for a minute there I thought the almighty Sesshomaru had took off his player's hat."
"No, you can never do that. Once it’s on, you can never take it off."
"I hope that's not true." Kagome giggled. "It's a shame though."
"What's a shame?"
"That a perfect man like you can't settle down and.." She gestered towards InuYasha. "He can off all people. There must be something wrong with the insitute of marriage."
Sesshomaru hid his blush with perfection and smirked. "Must be."
"Are you guys talking about me? My ears are twitching." InuYasha said looking into the rearview mirror.
"Oh, just keep your eyes on the road." Kagome giggled.
"Hey, Sess, don't try no shit back there. Kagome's an engaged woman.”
“Why do always suspect Sess of trying anything? How do you know I wouldn’t.” Kagome joked.
“Because you’re as plain as vanilla ice cream.” He quipped. “The thought of you doing something like that might make you pull out your hand sanitizer.”
“Hey, that’s not true!” Kagome eyes widened. “Where is my sanitizer? I left it at home.” She whined.
“Like I said..” InuYasha said. “Vanilla.”

“Miroku, you’ve been watching cartoons all morning! You said you were going to handle things. There are bills to be paid around here.”
“Calm down, baby. I got this.” Miroku said stuffing a spoonful of Fruity Pebbles in his mouth.
Sango sighed. “You’re worthless. I’ll go job hunting tommorrow.” She said walking into the kitchen. Then the doorbell rang. “Honey, could you get that.”
“Huh?”
“I said could you....” Sango sighed. “Nevermind.” She said walking into the living room and opened the front door.
There stood a man with a boyish face and sandy brown hair that complimented his brown eyes. “Who are you?” Sango asked.
“It’s to my understanding that Kagome stays here for the time being.”
Sango gave him a dubious look and folded her arms. “Who wants to know?” She loved Kagome as a sister and wasn’t going to give out her info to some stranger.
“Her fiance.”
