Chapter 8: Simply, Beautiful

"This one?"

"No."

"This one."

"Absolutely not."

"This one?"

"Eww."

"This one?"

"Okay now your just being stupid." Kagome complained as Sango held up the ugliest most sequined and probably the heaviest dress in history.

Sango smiled and put it back on the rack. They were shopping for homecoming which was at the end of the week. They had spent all day at 3 malls yesterday and so far 2 today. There just wasn't any dress that would fit them.

And by them, Kagome meant Sango. After finding out that Inuyasha was forced to take Kikyo she had lost enthusiasm for the event.

Sango must have noticed the trial of thought Kagome was taking, again, because she slammed the hanger down and glared at her.

"What?" Kagome asked innocently.

"You know what." Sango accused as she turned away and walked to another rack of dresses. "I cannot believe you are giving up this early in the race."

"Huh?"

"Your letting this one little complication stop you. One little hurdle and you quite the race."

"It's not so much a hurdle as a brick wall." Kagome pointed out. "What choice does Inuyasha have? It's either that or loose everything."

Sango rolled her eyes and put her arm around Kagome's shoulders. "Oh my innocent, naive pupil. How easily thou dust give up."

"Huh?"

Sango grabbed her shoulders and moved her in front of her. "Kagome, this is your chance."

"Huh?"

"What could possibly make a man feel more trapped than being forced to go out with someone?"

"Uhh..."

"Nothing! So he feels trapped and naturally starts looking at all the girls he can't have including you."

"Huh?"

"Kagome think!" She shook her a little. "If you make yourself so drop-dead-mouthwateringly-jaw-droppingly-HOTT!! he will immediately look at you and see the woman you've become! Done, mission complete!"

"Uhh..."

"Of course there is Kiki-ho to deal with...hmmm..."

"That's my sister your talking about." But Sango didn't seem to hear her because she walked off her hand to her chin, thinking.

"Well as long as Inuyasha stays the bastard he usually is, no problem!" Sango slammed her fist into her hand and smiled triumphantly.

"Uhh..."

"No all we need is the perfect dress. Come on!" Sango grabbed her hand and pulled her deeper into the belly of the beast that was the store.

"No. No no no no no nononoNO!" There is nothing good here!" Sango complained zooming through the last rack the store had.

"Um Sango?" Kagome said tentatively.

"Not a damn thing and I have officially run out of places to go!"

"Sango?"

"What the hell are we going to do?"

"Sango."

"This is so hopeless!"

"Sango!"

"What?" Sango asked as if she just heard her.

"What about that one?" Kagome pointed to one of the mannequins standing up displaying a dress among 5 or 6 of her sisters.

"That yellow one?" Sango asked making a face.

"What?" Kagome looked at it and flinched. "Ew no. The red one."

"Sango looked at the lady 3 plastic dolls down and gasped. "Oh my god..."

"So that's a yes?" Kagome asked.

"Excuse me?" Sango said grabbing a passing salesclerk by her sleeve without taking her eyes off the dress.

"Yes ma'am?" she asked.

"Can we see that dress, please?" Sango asked pointing.

The lady looked and looked back making a face, "The yellow one?"

Sango looked at her like she was crazy. "What? No. The red one."

The lady looked again and smiled. "Sure. Hold on just one second."

Ten minutes later Sango looked Kagome over as she walked out of the dressing room.

"Damn. We're buying that bitch." she said immediately.

Kagome looked at the price tag hidden discreetly under her arm and nearly had a heart attack. "Sango I can't afford this."

Sango took the tag and flinched. "We'll pull our resources. Now come on I still need a dress and we both need shoes and accessories and make up and..."

"Okay okay I get it." Kagome laughed as Sango pushed her back into the dress racks to find her own dress.

Three days and 6 headaches later, Kagome finally sat at her mom's vanity as she did her hair.

"Honey you look beautiful." She said giving her daughter a pair of earrings.

"Thanks mom."

"Nervous."

"Why would I be?" Kagome asked avoiding the truth that she was.

"Well just wondering." She said spraying her hair with hairspray.

Kagome speared her ears with the diamond jewelry and took a deep breath.

A knock sounded at the door.

"I'll get it!" Her little brother yelled from the next room.

Her mom smiled down at her as she put the finishing touches on her hair.

"Sweetie you look beautiful." She said sticking one more pin in the deceptively simple arrangement.

"I'm ready." Kagome said as she heard Inuyasha's voice float in from the living room.

You look fine." Her mother said clasping her necklace. "Simply, beautiful."
