Okay, so I still don't own Inuyasha.
This is a request from vampygurl402 to arashi wolf princess for her birthday on Aug 30th. Happy birthday and enjoy the fic!
Chapter 1: The Ring
It all started with a ring.
It all started when that damn bastard gave her that damn ring!
I couldn't say no. She was after all my cousin and one of my best friends.
I wasn't even given a fucking choice!
So now I am the Maid of Honor.
Now I am stuck as Lord Ice Heart's 'Best Man'. Best man my ass. Sadistic bastard.
Though the worst part of all is the person that I have to work with. The person I hate most…
Kagome.
Inuyasha.
A few hours earlier:
"Kagome!" shouted a petite young girl as she waved her hand in the air from a small café table.
"I see you Rin" she said as she walked to the small table and sat down. "Okay, so what did you want to talk to me about?" asked Kagome. Clearly it was important because Rin was literally bouncing in her seat. Then she got a huge grin on her face and stuck out her left hand. On it was a large diamond surrounded by emeralds twisting around the center stone. The ring itself was made of platinum. 'I wouldn't expect any less from Sesshoumaru.'
…
"Oh MY GOSH RIN! HE PROPOSED! EEEEEIIIIIII" Kagome screamed as she jumped up from her seat and gave her cousin a crushing hug. "OMIGOSH! OMIGOSH! OMIGOSH! You have to tell Sango and everyone else who you want to be at your wedding and, Oh! You need to get a Maid of Honor then you have to figure out who you want your bride's maids to be. Then…" Kagome rambled on as Rin smiled and rolled her eyes at her cousin's antics. She always like to make plans and follow them through to the end. Which was sometimes a problem, especially when it came to love.
"Kagome I was hoping that you would be my Maid of Honor?" Rin asked her flashing one of her 'brighter than the sun' smiles and Kagome couldn't refuse. Not that she wanted to.
"Of course Rin! EEEEEEIIII! I can't believe that you are getting married after dating him for two years." Kagome said as she let go of Rin, who was at least 3 inches shorter than Kagome at a startling 5'1". Whereas Kagome was a good 5'4" or 5'5". Though she didn't tower over Rin like her fiancée, she was still taller than the girl.
"Good! Now that you have agreed to it you can't back out" she said to Kagome with a sly smile.
"What is it that I will not like" Kagome asked her cousin with a serious expression.
"Well~, you see… the best man is Inuyasha" Rin said after trying to stall for a short period of time.
"No! Hell No!" shouted an irate hanyou. "There is no fucking way I am going to be in your wedding! Especially not for a sadistic freak like you!" he shouted at the stoic youkai standing across the room.
"You have little choice in the matter, little brother. Especially not after what happened when I saved your hide from those charges against you only a few months ago." He said as he went to his desk and straightened some of his unfinished papers on his desk.
"You and I both know that Abi was put up to making fake accusations against me so that her mother could take over this company" Inuyasha said to his brother as he crossed his arms in front of him.
"Hn" Sesshoumaru grunted as he finished straightening the papers on his desk. "She had no basis or evidence besides her word and bruises from a hand that was far smaller than yours."
"Keh, and you still let me be arrested on baseless rumors and I had to spend two nights locked up" he said in a skeptical manner.
"You needed to appear… like you had nothing to hide" Sesshoumaru said.
"I didn't have anything to hide" Inuyasha growled.
"We are getting off track. You will be the best man at the wedding. End of discussion. Now get back to work" Sesshoumaru said to Inuyasha as he pressed the intercom button and asked for his secretary to come in and show Inuyasha out of his office.
"You really aren't giving me a fucking choice are you?" Inuyasha asked
"Yuki, you can send my 12 o'clock in" he said to the intercom.
"Yes, sir!" said a bubbly voice over the intercom and a few moments later the doors opened to reveal an older gentleman and lady being ushered through the large wooden doors, while Inuyasha was ushered out without his answer.
"Miroku I hate my half-brother" Inuyasha said into the phone as he tapped his claws on his desk.
"That my friend, is not the first time I have heard that from your mouth" Miroku said from the other side of the line.
"Keh, and it won't be the last either" Inuyasha said as with a smirk on his face. The relationship between he and his brother wasn't unhealthy, but it was far from normal.
"So what is it this time?" he asked his longtime friend.
"He made me his best man" Inuyasha informed him.
"Wait the Ice King is getting married?" Miroku asked in surprise.
"Yeah he is marrying Rin Takahashi" he said to his friend on the other side of the line.
"Dude do you know who the bridesmaid is?" Miroku asked in fake curiosity.
"Keh, why would I need to know that bitch?" Inuyasha asked, not really caring for an answer.
"Nevermind, so I got a call a few minutes ago from one of the bridesmaids and was asked to do the ceremony, since people still don't like to join humans and youkai together"
"So you'll be there too, huh? Inuyasha interrupted.
"Yes and they want a small-ish, ish because we know Sesshoumaru won't spare any expense, at his private villa on the coast" Miroku informed his friend.
"At least I won't be bored out of my mind, but keep your hands off of the bride or you'll lose it" Inuyasha said in a warning and joking manner.
"Are you threatening me?" Miroku chuckled.
"Nope just giving you a fair warning" Inuyasha chuckled back, "So do you have any more details on this marriage?"
"He really only told you that you were the best man didn't he" Miroku asked in a tone that suggested he wasn't the least bit surprised.
"Keh he never tells me anything" Inuyasha said as he leaned back in his chair behind his desk in his own office.
"Of course he didn't" Miroku sighed. "Well the wedding is in four months. There will be 2 bridesmaids and two groomsmen. The flower girl will be Kanna and the ring bearer will be Souta" Miroku said as he was interrupted again be Inuyasha.
"Kikyo's kid brother?"
"Moving on, you will be the best man and the other groomsman is Kouga"
"Is he trying to make my life a living hell?!" Inuyasha shouted into the phone.
"You know even I have ears Inuyasha and shouting in the phone makes them hurt" Miroku said dryly. "You know he takes pleasure in tormenting you, but you make it far too easy for him." He said in amusement.
"Oi!" he shouted in the phone again.
"Again I have ears. Now I still have some more information that you need to know. There will be a small service and he is paying for all of the rooms at the hotel for the wedding party and mine as well. Also the bride wants you and the maid of honor to work together on the party and planning for the wedding" Miroku said.
"How the hell do you know so much about the wedding?!" Inuyasha exclaimed, but kept his voice at a manageable level.
"Because I know the maid of honor, oh did I mention that the other bridesmaid is the lovely Sango! I haven't seen her since my days at university. Her ass is sooo fine! I can't wait to…"
"Miroku!" Inuyasha shouted in the phone.
"Ouch what did I say about the volume!" he shouted back.
"I don't want to hear about Sango's butt. Wait you know the maid of honor?" Inuyasha asked.
"Yeah, I've known her for a long time. She was the one who introduced me to my lovely Sango, actually I introduced you to her a few years ago" Miroku said to Inuyasha with a sly voice.
"Oh kamis. Please tell me it isn't" Inuyasha pleaded with his friend.
"No it isn't Kikyo, though I assume she will be there since Rin is her cousin"
"You know she is not the one I am worried about" Inuyasha growled.
"Oh, you mean Kagome, the other Higurashi sister" Miroku said in understanding, knowing full well that she was who Inuyasha was talking about in the first place.
"Yes. Her." He growled at his friend.
"The maid of honor is Kagome Higurashi. Oh look at the time! I have to go now and clean the monastery" Miroku said as he hung up the phone.
"I'm going to kill so many people" Inuyasha said as he threw his phone across the office and it shattered against the wall.
Later that day at the hospital:
"Sango I swear that Rin can get me into anything. I am just thankful that I will have you there with me. Not only will I have to deal with Inuyasha, but I also have to keep him and Kouga from killing each other, or worse talking to each other" she ranted to her best friend and co-worker as she flipped through the charts in her hand for her next patient.
"Tell me about it. I have to deal with Miroku and his 'cursed' hand" Sango said as she put air quotations around the word cursed. "As far as she can get you to do anything for her, you spoil her too much. I understand that she is like a little sister to you, but you still have to learn to say no. After all that is how the mess with Inuyasha started" Sango said as she flipped through patient files and prescriptions to be signed.
"That happened because I was stupid and young, also because I drank too much. Besides it was only a one night stand and then he hooked up with my sister and they didn't work out either" Kagome said as she signed papers in her hand.
"You and I both know that that was not all that had happened that night three years ago" Sango said to her friend in a reprimanding tone.
"So, it is in the past and no one needs to know about it. The only ones that do are you and Miroku, but he only knows a few details" she said as she went to her desk and put the files down that she was looking at.
"Kagome, you still haven't told him have you?" Sango asked in a concerned voice.
"I don't have to, like I said it is in the past and he doesn't need to know about it" Kagome sighed and logged onto her computer.
"If you still love the guy then it is far from in the past. I have to run and do my rounds. If we are lucky we can talk again later tonight" Sango said as she left to go make her way around the floor.
"How can I be in love with someone if we never even started in the first place" she said under her breath when a more senior doctor came up behind her and laid a hand on her shoulder. Startled Kagome let out a small 'eep' and turned around to see the doctor standing there.
"So what has the ever bright and chipper Kagome down in the dumps?" asked the doctor in a deep and smooth voice.
"Naraku! You scared me!" she said to Naraku as he just smiled at her.
"I tend to do that a lot" he said to her as he laughed his distinctive laugh.
"You know that your laugh sounds evil right?" Kagome asked as a rhetorical question.
"Of course, that is part of my charm!" he said with a smirk on his face. "Now what has my cute little subordinate's panties in a bunch? Hmmm?" he asked seemingly innocent. Though Kagome knew better.
"No you can't kill him or maim him, yet. Not only that, but it really isn't that big of a deal. I am just going to be the maid of honor in Rin's wedding and Inuyasha is the best man" I said to him as I filled in some charts and sent prescriptions through the computer.
"Oh, you see that isn't so bad" he said as he flipped through his charts.
"He was my one night stand" Kagome said quietly to Naraku who turned his red eyes to her in both surprise and anger. Though he wasn't angry at Kagome, but Inuyasha.
"That son of a bitch! I'll kill him! How could he just leave you! And then he never…" Naraku shouted and ranted on and on, or at least until Kagome stopped him.
"Naraku, I was the one who left him. Not only that, but I never told him about anything. He doesn't know and he never will. You and I are the only ones who know all of the details. That is how I want to keep it" she said as she kept her eyes on the screen in front of her and away from her superior.
"You really haven't told him yet?" he asked in almost reprimanding tone.
"No I haven't and I don't plan to" Kagome said with conviction to the other doctor.
"So does Sango even know that I was the one who performed the operation?" he asked her as he collected some other patient papers as he waited for Kagome's answer.
"No and she even doesn't know the whole story" Kagome said quietly.
"This will eat you up inside if you don't deal with it. I know it is hard, but it needs to be done" he said as he patted Kagome on her shoulder in reassurance.
"Thanks Naraku, tell Midoriko I said hi" she said as she got up and continued on with her job.
"Will do Kagome!" he said as he waved to his colleague and went the other direction to check on his own patients.
"I am not looking to this wedding at all" Kagome said just before she walked into a patient's room. "Good evening Mrs. Hajimoto, how are you feeling?" she asked her patient.
At some bar downtown Tokyo there was a half demon and an off duty monk having a drink together and talking. The half demon was Inuyasha and the monk he was talking to was Miroku, his best friend.
"I swear if I had known that she would have been the maid of honor I would never have been the best man at this damn wedding. I hope the bastard chokes on his wedding cake" Inuyasha cursed his older brother.
"Really walking down the aisle with a beautiful woman such as Kagome cannot be so horrible" Miroku explained as he took a drink of his beer.
"You don't know what happened between me and the stubborn bitch" Inuyasha said as he took a large swig of his own beer.
"Actually Inuyasha I do. I was there for the both of you and all of the drama. I just don't know exactly what Kagome went through though." Miroku said as he raised his hand at the bar tender and asked for another round of beer for himself.
"Keh, you weren't there you were more interested in the girls around me than what was actually the problem I had" he said as he scowled at his friend who had his own goofy grin and was rubbing the back of his head.
"Well I never leave a beautiful lady unattended. I must be ever the gentleman"
"Gentleman my ass all you want is to cop a feel and hope not to get slapped. Perverted bastard" Inuyasha said as he took a drink of his soon to be empty beer.
"Hey! I resent that you think of me that way" Miroku exclaimed and Inuyasha just smirked at him wondering why h was ever friends with the idiot. "Back to the wedding" Miroku said and killed Inuyasha's slightly improving mood.
"And I was just starting to feel at ease again" he mumbled from his spot at the bar.
"You and Kagome are going to have to not rip each other's throats out before the reception and everything that comes before it ends" Miroku said. He took another drink of his beer as Inuyasha requested another one. "Besides you two only hate each other because I think you still have feelings for each other. Which is why you want to hurt each other so bad because you want the other to feel your same pain. Though it was only a one night stand so I don't really know how many feelings you guys could have about each other" Miroku explained as he took another drink of his beer in his hand.
Inuyasha decided that it was enough and took his beer before he could take another sip, "No more for you. When you're drunk you tend to get all monk like and philosophical." He said as he kept trying to keep the drink away from his friend.
"Well sometimes you need some good advice, besides I am not drunk!" Miroku said as he continued to try and grab the beer from his friend's hand.
"Keh, I don't need advice from you" Inuyasha said as Miroku swiped his beer bottle from his friend's hand.
"According to me you need a ton of advice and you need to at least listen to some of it" Miroku said as he guarded his beer in his grasp from his hanyou friend.
"Keh" was all Inuyasha responded to as he took another drink of his beer. Then a beautiful woman walked by the two men and winked at them. She had short black hair and large pink eyes. Inuyasha scoffed and then turned to talk to his friend again, but he was long gone and asking for a 'nice dance' with the pretty lady who had just walked by. "Perverted bastard" Inuyasha mumbled as he took his beer and finished it off. He then waved down the bartender and asked for another bottle, while thinking of colorful ways to kill his best friend.
"Such a long day at work!" exclaimed a tired Kagome. As she walked down the sidewalk towards her apartment. "I really picked the wrong day to miss the train and bus. I mean come on! It is what…" she yelled at the empty street as she looked at her watch on her wrist. "almost three thirty in the morning. Not only that, but I have only one day off for this week and I have to contact him so that we can coordinate our schedules and meet up for wedding planning" she said to no one in particular as she waited to cross the street.
Then she saw a shadow on the other side of the street as it walked towards her. She reached into her bag for her pepper spray and readied her inherited spiritual powers, just in case. Then she saw that the stranger was waving at her, very wobbly waving at her. After that she saw the long silver hair and the disheveled suit. It was Inuyasha, and he was drunk. "I hate being such a good damn person all of the time" Kagome mumbled to herself as she trudged across the street to the inebriated hanyou.
"K'gome" Inuyasha slurred as he stumbled towards Kagome. "I *hic* shink I 'mm druk. *hic*" he said with blood shot eyes and an extremely goofy grin plastered on his face.
"No shit." Kagome said in an extremely short voice as she stopped in front of the hanyou and crossed her arms.
"Yur sho purty" Inuyasha stated as he struggled to stay up right. For a hanyou to be this drunk was a serious feet to accomplish since those with demonic blood had more tolerance for alcohol.
"How many drinks did you have?" Kagome asked, not impressed by the show he was putting on at all.
"I… Ish don' kno" he said to Kagome as he stumbled over to where she was underneath a street light. "A few I shink" he said with the goofy grin on his face.
"I am positive it was more than a few" Kagome mumbled under her breath. "Come on, I need to get you a cab or something to get you home" She said as she took a few steps closer to Inuyasha.
"I wanna go homm wish yu" Inuyasha said as he took another step towards Kagome so that he was casting a shadow over her with his height of six foot, where Kagome was just barely five foot five inches.
"Yeah, that is not going to happen" Kagome said as she hung his arm over her shoulder to steady him and get him to a bench for him to sit down on so that he doesn't fall flat on his face.
"Why shnot?" Inuyasha slurred. "You were at mie plaish befo'" he slurred as he pulled Kagome closer to himself in an awkward hug. Then he refused to let go and brought his other hand around her to grasp her waist.
"That was almost five years ago, Inuyasha" Kagome said while trying to push the inebriated hanyou off of her.
"Sho" he said and bent down to nuzzle her neck with his nose and smell her scent.
"Inuyasha stop that!" Kagome shrieked.
"You shmell the shame. I like the wa yu shmell K'gome" Inuyasha slurred and Kagome saw head lights in the distance and tried to wave them down, hoping it was a random late night taxi. Unlucky for her, it wasn't. It was a black car that was speeding down the road that showed no indication of ever stopping.
"Damn it!" Kagome cursed ass the car just sped past them.
"Yu sh~udn't curshe" Inuyasha said as he continued to hug Kagome and smell her scent.
'This is getting incredibly annoying. At this rate I am going to have to call a cab when I get to my apartment, which is not going to be fun with a drunk hanyou. Not at… is he licking me?' Kagome thought to herself as she let her guard down for a little bit and realized that Inuyasha had stopped sniffing her and had started to lick the skin on her neck. "What are you doing Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as she renewed her efforts to try and pry the hanyou off of her being.
"Ish tashting yu" he said as he added a nip on her skin that caused her to start and let out a small 'eep'. 'Yu tasht guud" Inuyasha stated as he ran his tongue along the underside of her jawbone.
"You're drunk Inuyasha, I need you to sit down" Kagome said as she felt her blood rising to her face and other regions of her body. As his actions reluctantly brought back memories from that one night over four years ago.
"Ish kno" he said as he went back to nuzzling her neck and holding her close.
'If only you actually did know, Inuyasha. There was always a reason why I pushed you away' Kagome thought as Inuyasha's full weight collapsed on her and she almost fell to the ground with him. She could feel the soft breathing against her neck as he stayed there unmoving and without any way of knowing where he lived. "Well this is just peachy" Kagome said sarcastically as she was left with the choice of leaving him on the street or taking him home.
"I really hate being a good person" Kagome sighed as she started to lug the, now, passed out hanyou to her apartment. 'You had better be grateful for this in the morning' Kagome thought to herself.
A/N: Okay, so I did do this as a request, but right now I have a lot on my plate to any other's at the moment. Way too many ideas are bouncing around in my head.
By the way I have the 2nd chapter written, and the third started. There will be a lemon in this fic, and I appologise before hand if it isn't that good because I have never wrote one before and have no experiences to draw on... so we shall see what happens.
Thank you for reading and please review!
