Speak now ; Chapter 9
Enjoy!
" Break it up ladies!"
I felt two strong hands lift me off the ground, throwing her off of me. I looked around at all the people who had now crowed around and watching. I looked straight ahead and saw another strong man, holding her back.
" Alright, I think it's time you two leave."
" Wait ! You can't do this it's my bachelorette party!"
"If you don't want any trouble miss, then get out of my club"
One week ago.
Kagomes POV
Everything was going well this morning. I had gotten up early, gone out for a nice walk with Kimi, had a nice breakfast with her, until this, this smell became very strong in my house. I had smelt it the other day, at the studio before leaving to get ready for my date with Hojo. I had cleaned my clothing, and it not them. I thought I was crazy, until Kimi started complaining about it more than I was. I guess it was because she is half dog demon. I had cleaned the entire house thinking I had gotten rid of the smell, but hours later it appeared again. Now I was in the studio with Sango and Ayame, when I was going through my bag, and finally discovered what the smell was.
"And she was fine with it?" Sango asked having her make-up being done.
"Well no, she acted as if she was in front of InuYasha, but when it was just me and her, I thought she was going to bite my head off." I said, digging through my purse looking for my lip gloss.
"This sounds like its getting intense." Ayame said, giggling.
I rolled my eyes at the redheaded bubbly person sitting in front of me, who stuck her tongue out. Ayame loved these kind of things, drama, gossip.
" I just want him to know what he's marrying into, I still care about the guy" alright, were is that damn lip gloss?
"Sounds like you want him to know he's making a mistake" Sango said.
"Well he is! He's literally selling his soul to the devil-" I said before taking my hand out of my purse, seeing my figures were all slimy. " what the-" I said dumping my purse out, having everything fly out, all my make-up, my wallet, my fish, my photographs, my- my fish?
" Um.. Why are you carrying that in your bag?" Ayame asked, pinching her nose. "That's revolting!"
" That's not mine," I said looking at the dead fish, causing the smell I my house. "I've never gone fishing before in my life."
"Oh come on, you think someone put it in there ?" Sango asked, having gotten rid of the purse, and the fish.
" Yeah who would do something like that? Kikyo?" Ayame asked winking, causing Sango to laugh. Then it hit me.
"Yes, yes Kikyo! Don't you two see? She thinks I'm out to ruin her relationship, she sees me as a threat!" I said, now standing up. Sango had raised her eyebrow, staring at me in disbelief, while Ayame blinked up at me.
" I smelt this smell before, when I was talking to Hojo. She had walked by, it must have been all over her hands. And I watched her come out of the dressing room. When I walked in the smell was everywhere. It had to have been Kikyo, had to!"
"Slow down Kagome! How can you be so sure it was Kikyo?"
"Every clue points to it being Kikyo."
After a silence, Ayame finally spoke.
"Oh my god.. Do you think shes going to kill you?" she had asked, looking more serious than ever. Out of the three of us, she was the most gullible person I ever met.
Ignoring it, I looked at the photographs, some ruined. I held up one of Kimi and myself at the hospital the night she was born.
Kikyo wants a war? Well, she's about to get one.
Kikyos POV
Everything was going fantastic until a few days ago, until I found out my fiancée has a disgusting child, and that I'm going to be her step-mother in a few weeks- oh my gawd. I'm going to be a step-mom?
If your wondering, I haven't told anyone about it. The whole Inuyasha child thing. At first I was going to, but than, that's what Kagome wants. For everyone to know. She's just using the child for her own sick, twisted games. At least, that's what I've come to the conclusion of. That she just wants to be the centre of attention.
Anyways, after that, things start to go downhill from there.
I walked into the studio, having smelt dead fish, I figured the flesh-eating zombie was already here. Having walking to what was trailer, I found a note and flowers on my chair. I picked them up and smiled when I read the note.
You'll be on my mind the next week. Can't wait to marry you and spend the rest of our lives together.
-Inuyasha
That's right, this week was my bachelorette party. Also there was a few last minute things to do before the wedding. Inuyashas bachelor party was this week too. Him and the guys are off on a little trip for the week. I smelt the roses. He always knew what to say or do, that must be why girls are so into him. To bad he's mine. My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Delivery for A " a man behind the door had said. I opened it, to see a ton of chocolates, and candies. Candies I'd never seen before. I had taken the goodie basket and thank the man, shutting the door behind me , I saw there was a note attached. Turning it over, it read,
Thinking of you-Inuyasha
Inuyasha knows I'm on a diet for the wedding, so they must be okay to eat.
How sweet, I thought picking up one of the candies and smirked. Kagome doesn't know that I have Inuyasha wrapped around my finger. I looked down at my ring on my ring finger. Literally.
I walked through the studio, holding my roses and candy basket, making my way towards the exit when I saw Kagome and her friends. This should be fun. As I walked by, they had stopped talking and looked up, I gave I my best happy go lucky kind of smile, and walked over to them.
"Hello ladies." I said to the three of them.
"Hey Kikyo." Ayame said, " how are you?" she had asked kind of unsure of what to take of the whole thing. Probably cause Kagome told them what happened the other night.
"I would be better if my fiancée was home with me." I said looking upset, but then smiling at the gifts in my hand. "But how sweet is he? He left me a few surprises when I got to my trailer."
" The sweetest" Kagome said, seeing right through my act, even though I could tell it seemed to be killing her.
" You would know-" I had started saying, daring to make eye contact with her, but was cut off my Sango.
"The roses are beautiful!" she said, sounding as cheerful as she looked.
"Aren't they?" I said smiling down at them.
" what are those?" Ayame asked looking towards the goodie basket.
" Oh just some candies and such. Inuyasha must have shipped them to me from wherever they are right now for his bachelor party. How thoughtful for him to think of me when hes on his road trip with his boys."
Kagome smiled, " How thoughtful alright!" I was taking back by the smile, what was up with that anyways?
"Right.. Well I have to get going now, hair appointment. Bye !" I said, turning oh my heels and making my way towards the exit. What was that girl up to anyways?
Kagomes POV
Usually I'm not like this, I swear. I've never been the bad girl. But there's something lately that makes me want to break through that shell and fight back. Kikyo has another thing coming if she thinks I'm going to let her just- just step all over me !
"Good afternoon Kikyo! Your hairdresser will be with you in a moment." a lady said, having taken Kikyo to the back of the salon. Even better- I moved a few feet behind them, once I saw where Kikyo was going to sit, I hid behind a few plants and displays they have here.
Yeah okay I followed her here, but she deserves everything coming to her this week.
Kikyo was now sitting in a chair, wearing one of those dresses you wear when your about to get your hair cut. The lady had turned to walk away and I stayed hidden. A young man walked out from the back, and over to Kikyo, who had started playing with her hair.
"The usual?" he had asked her and they made eye contact in the mirror and smiled.
" Yes, thank you Claud." Kikyo had said, shutting her eyes to relax. Claud had washed her hair, trimmed it, and was now mixing hair dye together. I looked towards the door. Any second now-
Sango had walked in, a hat over her head and sun glasses on covering her eyes. She walked over to the desk at the front.
" I would like to speak to Claud please." she said looking around.
"He's busy at the moment, if you would come back later-"
Sango had taken off her sun glasses and smiled. "You don't understand, it's actually a big problem, and we have to film soon, so if you don't mind."
The lady behind the desk, clearly recognizing Sango, stood up and nodded, running to the back to get Claud. She whispered something I his ear, and he told Kikyo he would be right back, as they walked to the front. Now with them being distracted, I went over to the hair dye goo, an replaced it with an ugly gray colour. I had looked up and noticed that Sango had them pretty distracted up there. After giving Sango the single it was good, I hid where I was hiding before.
Sango thank Claud for his time, even signed something for him and left. Claud, still in a daze from what just happened went back to work on Kikyos hair, without even checking the hair dye. The lady behind the desk had gone to the back, and I was able to sneak out unnoticed, when I looked back in the salon, Claud had been rinsing the hair dye out of her hair after coming back to reality and realizing something was wrong. I smiled. The scoreboard stood,
Kikyo 1
Kagome 2
I'm pretty sure I could hear her screams from back at the studio.
Kikyos POV
It's been a day or two since the accident at the hair dressers. That's all it was, a horrible accident. I had another appointment sometime next week to get it fixed. I looked in the mirror. My beautiful long black hair, now had grey bits in it, as if I got blonde highlights or something. Luckily Claud had realized before he had done my whole head. Claud said that it must of been the company who supplied the hair dyes fault, and I should sue them for this. Who do they think they are? I popped another one of those delicious candies in my mouth. I don't know where Inuyasha had gotten them from, but they were amazing! There about all I've eaten these past few days. The box says there's no calories in these things.
It's like heaven on earth, only in my mouth. I shut the small mirror in my hand and stepped out of the limo. I had my first fitting today for my wedding dress since I bought it. It was a beautiful dress, and I couldn't wait to try it on again. It hung on to my body so nicely, and they designs were beautiful. It was worth every penny. I stepped into the bridal shop, having turning heads because of my stupid hair mistake. I just ignored them, and made my way to the desk.
"Name?" the lady said without looking up.
" Kikyo" I had said, looking around at all the other brides in here trying on dresses.
" This way please, Kikyo." she said standing up and leading me downstairs to the fitting rooms.
Once there, the lady had started helping me get into the dress. After getting into the dress, it sounded like she was having problems doing up the zipper.
"Is there a problem?" I asked her, slightly annoyed.
" Its not doing up." she replied, still attempting at it.
"What do you mean it won't do up? I just bought this dress a few months ago! My wedding is in a few weeks!"
After getting out of the dress, we checked the dress order, the order was right.
"This is making zero sense!" i said, angry with how this week has been turning out.
" Um ma'am, when was the last time you weighted yourself?"
"Excuse me?" I asked. Who was she kidding ? Did she really just ask me that?
" Well this is your first fitting in months, maybe you gained some weight?" She said, looking slightly embarrassed.
" I can assure you, I haven't gained any weight." I said, looking at the dress again.
" Better to be safe than sorry.." she said. She clearly isn't going to drop it.
"Alright fine, let's check shall we?" I said, stepping into the fitting room, having shut the curtains and taken off my clothes, I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I hadn't gained weight, this was crazy. My body was perfect, heck I was perfect. I stepped onto the scale, it blinking a few times before showing me my weight.
What the-
" How is this possible?" I asked, crying into a tissue, " I've been following my diet, haven't been eating anything bad." It was only a few pounds. I opened up one of my candies, and popped it into my mouth. I looked up to see the lady looking at me.
"That is why your gaining weight!" She said taking the candy wrapper from my hand. " My parents use to give these to hungry people, makes you gain weight like crazy!" She said, shaking her head.
"They.. What?"
"Make you gain weight like crazy." she repeated, this time she looked slightly annoyed. "Better stop eating these of you want to fit into your wedding dress before your wedding!" she threw out the wrapper, and started putting my wedding dress away.
" Well do you have any bigger sizes?" I asked. Just in case
The lazy shock her head. " Sorry, this is the biggest the designer will make it."
Unbelievable ! "But my wedding is in a few weeks!"
The lady looked at me and shrugged, "Better hit the gym, and drop a few pounds." She said, slightly smiling.
After getting home, I called Inuyasha, furious, I wanted to know why he sent these stupid things to me anyways.
" Kikyo." his voice beamed into the phone, you could hear the smile in his voice.
"Why would-" I started but was interrupted.
"Did you get the flowers I left for you?" he asked. "I know roses are your favourite."
"Yes they were lovely." I started, sound inpatient. "But why did you send me those weight gaining candies! You know I'm on a diet!" I practically yelled into the phone.
"What are you talking about?" he asked, sounding confused.
" Oh come on Inuyasha, those candies that say on the package there for healthy diets?" I said, arms crossed.
" I ..I didn't send you candies, I left the flowers for you. Why would I do something like that when I know about your diet?" he asked.
And then it hit me. It wasn't Inuyasha who did this, and it wasn't the stupid hair dyes fault. It was Kagomes fault.
" Listen babe I'm losing you, I'll have to call you later when we get to the hotel. I love you."
"Yeah.." was all I said before hanging up. If Kagome Higurashi thinks she's won this one, oh boy she has another thing coming.
I walked into the studio, invitations in hand and ready to go. They had just been finished an arrived in the mail for me to hand out today. I had asked Kaede to have everyone in the meeting room- Well everyone here of course. I walked into the large room, which didn't look so large with all the people in it. Once I walked in, everyone quiet down and I put on my best face for all my friends.
"Thank you all for coming in such short notice-"
"What happened to your hair?" someone called out from the back. Most likely the little witch herself.
"There was an accident at my hair salon, but don't worry. It will look even better than ever before the wedding" I said, quickly changing the subject. "But that isn't the reason why I asked for you to meet me in here. Guess what I finally got in the mail?" I said, and held up a big bag of envelops. "That's right, wedding invitations!" I smiled and chatter filled the room, " After you have received one you can leave, but remember all you lucky ladies that have been invited to my bachelorette party, that it is still this Friday and the regular meeting place." more chatter filled the room, and at this point I could see Kagome, standing beside Ayame and Sango, her two friends had started discussing what they were wearing to my party. "Alright let's get this over with, shall we?"
"And Kagura!" I said, handing out the last invitation, and the last girl left the room. I looked up to see Kagome, standing there with her arms crossed.
"I'm not Invited?" she asked, " To the father of my daughters wedding?"
" Oh just stop with the innocent act!" I said, putting my purse down on the table. "It's sicking to me!" I made my way towards her. "Think you could bring me down by ruining my hair, and by making me gain weight? That's something I can fix Kagome, but your mistake, the mistake you made by leaving here 4 years ago is a mistake you cannot fix. This is your own fault."
"Inuyasha deserves better." she said, refusing to make eye contact. Clearly I hit a nerve. This is going to be the act of a life time for me. I let my eyes fill with tears.
"And you think that's you?" I said my voice shaky. I really wanted her to think I was hurt by everything shes done . "You left him 4 years ago, years he will never get back with his daughter. You think you can just come back, and think everything would be the same? You were wrong Kagome, and you made a mistake you cannot fix." She didn't say anything, so I turned, leaving the room thinking that, that was the end of it. Boy was I wrong.
Finally the day came when it was my bachelorette party. After hours of getting a fake tan, my hair fixed, styled and makeup done. It was time to go meet up at the club. I ha decided on wearing a small teal dress. The dress was very sensuous and trendy , it was softly padded, with lifted bust cups and elastic shirring which provided a figure flattering fit. A fabric drape led from the centre of the bust and made my curves much more noticeable. There was multiple elastic bands at the back which was sure to attract a lot of attention. My hair was curled, and mu bangs were styled back into a beautiful French braid. The night was going to be grey with Kagome out of the picture.
"It has come to my attention we have a bride in the house!" the DJ shouted into his microphone, and I smiled as the ladies I was with start pointing at me, the DJ continued, "How about you get up there bride and show us what you can do!" I stood up and made me way to the stage, and started dancing. Many men seemed to enjoy this. Everything was going great until the DJ yelled into the microphone, " Dance off! Someone had challenged you to a dance of bride." I looked up at the DJ, confused as ever when Kagome stepped into the stage and waved.
" This is an invitation party only Kagome!" I yelled over the music, but the DJ invited Kagome into the stage.
"Alright let's get this party started!" The DJ yelled and turned up the music. Kagome had started dancing like a wild animal. At least it look like to me that she must of been a stripper in a past life. I had continued to dance but the males seemed to be more interested in what Kagome had been doing. She can ruin my hair and my body, but she will never, NEVER take away my spotlight. I turned Kagome so she was facing me, and I jumped on to her, causing her to fall to the ground, and we had started fighting.
Kagomes POV
" Break it up ladies!"
I felt two strong hands lift me off the ground, throwing her off of me. I looked around at all the people who had now crowed around and watching. I looked straight ahead and saw another strong man, holding her back.
" Alright, I think it's time you two leave."
" Wait ! You can't do this it's my bachelorette party!"
"If you don't want any trouble miss, then get out of my club" The males said, guiding us towards the exit. We were thrown out of the club, and I looked at Kikyo, who looked like she was ready to explode. She started making her way towards her car and I followed her. I was thinking of what he said to me earlier in the meeting room, and I had to let something be known.
Kikyos POV
How dare she get me kicked out of my own bachelorette party. I started walking fast towards my car. I needed to get out of here before something bad happened to her and I do something I'll go to jail for. But when I started looking for my keys in my purse, Kagome was right beside me.
"You know you said I made a mistake in the past 4 years," she started. "My daughter is not a mistake. Kotomi is perfect. She's my perfect thing." Kagome said. I signed, she didn't get it.
" You know how the story plays out?" I asked. " I get with Inuyasha, and you get heart broken."
" I don't give up that easily." Kagome said, making eye contact.
I banged my fist down onto the roof of my car. Kagome looked taken back by this. "You are so frustrating! Kagome if you keep looking for that happy ending, than you are never going to get it right."
"I know what your trying to do, and it's not gonna work." Kagome said in a quiet voice.
"Yes it is! Love is not always fireworks between two people, but it's a simple understanding and trust. Something you destroyed with Inuyasha when you left him alone 4 years ago." I opened up my car door and slammed it shut. I pulled out of my parking space, and drove away. Leaving Kagome to be alone with her own misery.
