Chapter 12: Better Than Revenge

Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did

Ha, just a little revenge

Kagome and Sango were at the mall at exactly 10 o clock in the morning. Kagome had been wearing a look that was a mixture of mischief and doubt that made Sango concerns grow. Her friend had been acting out of character yet the same as she was at 15. Sango smiled inwardly at the memory. Kagome was a diehard fan of plotting and gaining the affections of those she liked. InuYasha happened to be the first and last.

"Kagome, do you really think that this is a good idea?" Sango was still unsure about the whole wedding crasher thing and although she had been the one to encourage the woman to get what she wants she didn't want her to embarrass herself if that ass refused her. She looked at her best friend then as an audible sigh escaped her pink lips; her azure eyes lifting up to meet her own. This was the Kagome she had grown up with… not the depressed and uncharacteristically sad one she had seen over the last few months.

"I'm sure. I can't sit by and watch him make the biggest mistake of his life"

Sango nodded; Kikyo was indeed the wrong person for InuYasha to be with, and even though he was a prick, he didn't deserve being married to someone like Kikyo. She watched as Kagome picked up a deep blue dress with a silver sash and frowned. It was known far and wide that InuYasha's favorite color was red and yet he had let Kikyo change it. He absolutely despised blue.

"I can't believe he's actually allowing blue to be the theme of his wedding" Sango said while picking up a dress of her own.

Kagome nodded softly, looking at the blue dress and shaking her head. If she was to crash his wedding she wanted to stand out, though not enough so that Kikyo would notice her when she walked down the aisle. She looked around some more, very familiar with Nordstrom, and was happy to see that they carried red dresses. She dragged Sango over and told her to wait while she tried on the dress. Sango nodded, not liking the fact that she didn't get to see the dress before her sister ran off with it, and sat down in the waiting area.

Kagome stripped silently in the dressing room, and held up the dress that she picked out. It was a bright red halter dress that, when held against her, went just below her knees. A black belt was wrapped around the waist and Kagome marveled at the silk like material. She knew this had to be the dress. Taking a deep breath and stripped slowly, before taking the dress in her hands. After putting it on, she moved towards the mirror and gasped at the woman looking back at her.

She was beautiful!

The red complimented her porcelain skin to an extent where it should be illegal. The black belt hugged around her waist showing off her curves and the fullness of her breast. She looked down at her feet and reminded herself to find some shoes that would match and to have Sango style her hair. She suppressed the urge to giggle like a school girl as she stepped out of the dressing room and struck a pose. She laughed when Sango's mouth literally dropped and skipped over to her,

"What do you think?" She asked twirling about. Sango smiled wistfully, happy that the Kagome she knew and loved was once again returning. She was so carefree and happy that it almost brought tears to her eyes.

"Two words: Gorgeous Baby!" Kagome giggled and hugged Sango tightly before spinning around once more.

"Where do you think we can get the shoes from? I already decided to get the dress so I definitely need the perfect shoes to go with them"

Sango frowned and thought, "Hmm well pay for the dress now and then we'll look around for the shoes"

Kagome nodded and walked up to the cash register, her heart pounding lightly with excitement. The dress was so beautiful and she couldn't wait until InuYasha saw her in it. She placed the dress onto the counter and smiled at the male behind the counter, who smiled flirtatiously back.

"Is this all?" He asked. His voice was deep, baritone like and it matched his appearance all too well. Kagome would have melted if she were not in love,

"Yes sir"

The man smirked and rung up the dress, winking at her in the process. Kagome held back a giggle and waited to see the price,

"That'll be $767 please"

Sang frowned, "For one dress?"

Kagome smiled, "Sango calm down " She smiled at her sister and handed the cashier her credit card, "This isn't much besides me and Miroku both got an inheritance after Father passed away and it's more than enough. Besides that I checked the price of the dress before I got it"

Sango looked at her friends' grin and shook her head, "It's still too much and how come Miroku never told me about his inheritance?"

"He blew most of it at the strip club three years after Dad died"

Sango's eyes widened, "That perverted asshole!"

"I take it that's the reason he never told you…and the fact that you banned him from going to strip clubs anymore...after the uh…incident."

"Hell, I don't even think he can set foot in a strip club after what he did! And as long as he's willing to marry me he will never ever step foot in another strip club"

Kagome smiled, grabbed her dress form the friendly cashier and card, before looping her arms through Sango's, "That's why he needs you sis; without you Miroku would be Japan's Most Wanted Pervert"

Sango laughed out loud and led Kagome to the next store in search of some shoes to match her dress. She really hoped InuYasha opened his eyes and realized how special Kagome is and if he doesn't someone else will be the luckiest man in the world.

The story starts when it was hot and it was summer

And I had it all I had it right where I wanted him

She came along got him alone and let's hear the applause

She took him faster than you can say sabotage

In less than 24 hours she will have the man she always wanted.

She would be rich, famous, and the envy of all her friends; although she pretty much was that already. Nevertheless, her life would change for the better and she couldn't wait to start it as Mrs. InuYasha Takahashi.

Walking around the mall with her "friends" she searched eagerly for some lingerie that would make her husband-to-be harder than a rock in less than ten seconds. Oh yes, she couldn't wait until she got to the Honeymoon; Puerto Rico has always been her desired place to be and she was finally going to get there. Honestly she couldn't believe her luck in snagging the rich businessman and she had no one other than Kagome to thank. She smirked inwardly. Who would have thought that her most hated rival's long lost lover would be her husband? No one that's for sure.

Fortunately, when she heard of their infamous break up, she had seen it fit to go and 'comfort' the broken male and restore his heart and mind. Most people would have thought it a strange coincidence that she decided to do her modeling in America just two weeks after InuYasha's departure however she knew better. She had been anticipating going after a rich business man and who better than a rival's beloved. Yes, taking InuYasha from Kagome was the best revenge she had ever served and the results were absolutely delightful.

I never saw it coming wouldn't have expected it

I underestimated just who I was dealing with

She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum

She underestimated just who she was stealing from

"Twenty-two shoe stores and we still didn't find anything!"

Kagome giggled at her friend/sister and looped an arm through hers, "Now Sango, you knew that this would be difficult"

Sango rolled her eyes, "Yeah but out of twenty-two stores I at least expected a maybe" She frowned and looked at her friends plastic covered dress, "Your dress is cursed" Kagome hid the dress from her view and looked at her as if she had slapped her,

"My dress is not cursed; how can you say that!"

"Kagome…TWENTY-TWO EFFIN STORES!" She exclaimed earning several stares in her direction, "You might as well go barefoot because looking for some shoes to match that is irrational, impossible and-

"You've been around my brother too long"

Sango's cheeks turned a pink hue and she stuck her tongue out at her best friend, "Shut up!"

Kagome laughed and shook her head, "it's okay San-" Her breath caught in her throat and all words died on her tongue as she gazed upon the shoes that lay within the last store she expected to find them in.

"Macy's!"

Sango looked at her friend and frowned, "Macy's?"

"Look!" Sango stuck out her tongue playfully and imitating Kagome's high pitched "Look!" before turning to gaze at what her friend was staring at,

"They have a sale on Playtex Bras so what?"

"Not That!" Kagome moved her friend so that she was looking directly at the source of her excitement, "That!" When she did her eyes widened and her mouth dropped to the floor.

"Oh My Gosh!"

"I know right!"

Sango looked at her friend and smiled, "Well what the hell are we doing here let's go get those shoes!"

Kagome nodded and laughed as her friend dragged her into the store.

She looks at life like it's a party and she's on the list

She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it

I think her ever present frown is a little troubling

She thinks I'm pyscho cause' I like to rhyme her name with things

"Kikyo?"

She looked towards her 'friend' Yura, "Yes?" They were in Macy's, browsing really, looking for something that could go well with their dresses for the wedding and the after party.

"You never told us how you managed to keep InuYasha away from Kagome all those years. I mean, we know you 'cheered' him up, but there must be some dirty little secret behind all that."

Kikyo laughed, "Simple. I made him believe that Kagome had moved on"

"How?"

Kikyo twirled that lingerie in her hand as she recalled hacking her fiancé's email and deleting the messages he received from Kagome, "Just a little hacking and help from the other side. It was simple really since all their communication was technology related. Once I cut off all their resources it was easy for me to jump in and claim him"

Yura smiled, "How vile of you"

Kikyo smiled and went off to find something else to buy. She loved revenge.

But sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know

Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go

Well they didn't teach you that in Prep school so it's up to me

And no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity

(Think about what you did)

"Kagome I'm gonna go look at those bras"

Kagome laughed as she asked for a size 6 in the shoe she found, "Of course, something I'm sure my brother will enjoy taking off"

"Hentai"

Kagome smirked as she walked away, "Your fiancé made me this way!"
Sango rolled her eyes, having no doubt that Miroku would corrupt his only sister, and headed off to find that bra she's been craving for. Seriously the commercials made them look comfortable to boot and she wanted at least one that would leave marks on her shoulders when Miroku decided to get rough.

Reaching the lingerie section, she mentally jumped for joy when she saw that they were indeed on sale and searched eagerly for her size. She was on her second pair when she heard a familiar voice,

"You never told us how you managed to keep InuYasha away from Kagome all those years. I mean, we know you 'cheered' him up, but there must be some dirty little secret behind all that."

Sango frowned and hid behind the rack as she listened closely. Hearing Kikyo's laugh made her blood boil and she almost tempted to punch her in the throat-almost.

"Simple. I made him believe that Kagome had moved on"

At that Sango gasped and her fist clenched against the Playtex material. So she was the reason that InuYasha had believed Kagome was happy with someone else. She frowned deeper as the girl asked her "How?"

"Just a little hacking and help from the other side. It was simple really since all their communication was technology related. Once I cut off all their resources it was easy for me to jump in and claim him"

Sango was fuming by this point. How could one person be so mean as to- She growled inwardly grabbed her bras and made her way back to Kagome.

When Kagome saw her friend she frowned, "What's wrong Sango? Did they have your size?"

Sango merely frowned, "I ran into the Bitch of the West and heard that she was the reason InuYasha didn't receive any of your calls, emails or text messages. She's been planning this shit the whole time!"

Kagome frowned and looked at her friend. She knew her enough to know that she wouldn't lie about anything like this. "Kikyo? She's the reason why InuYasha-"Her fist clenched together tightly and her heart was pounding rapidly against her chest at the thought of all Kikyo had taken from her. She had taken the love of her life away from her. Three years she- she taken away her chance at marriage with the only man she'd ever loved and for what? Revenge?

"Sango where is she?"

Sango looked at her friend with a brow raised, "On her way out the store I believe"

Kagome nodded, "Come on"

She's not a saint and she's not what you think, she's an actress, whoa

And she's better known for the things that she does on the mattress, whoa

Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys on the playground won't make you any friends

She should keep in mind, she should keep in mind, there is nothing I do

Better than Revenge

Kagome was beyond furious at that moment. It just seemed as though things between her and Kikyo would never end! She marched ferociously down the aisle of Macy's and was pleased-though not in a good way- to see Kikyo and her Minions looking at skirts. She waltzed over to her spun her around and willed her fist not to fly in her face.

"Excuse me!" Kikyo exclaimed, looking at her most hated rival, "Who told you that you could touch me?"

Kagome growled inwardly, "You selfish, conniving Bitch!"

Kikyo and her minions gasped, while Sango looked on with a smirk, at Kagome's outburst, "Do you really think you've won, that you-"She stopped and took a deep breath. She wanted to scream, to yell, hit something-or someone- but she held herself. She still had a plan and if it was to work she couldn't do anything too detrimental, "Kikyo just know this. There's nothing I do better than Revenge"

Kagome then pivoted and walked out of the store, thankful she had already paid for her shoes and headed to the car. Sango stayed back and marveled at the shock, hatred, and embarrassment on Kikyo's face. Then as she was walking out she slipped an unpurchased item into Kikyo's purse, saying, "Bitch!" in an unlady-like manner before strolling to catch up with her sister.

Kikyo's face seemed to have turned reed with anger and she huffed and stomped out of the store only to beep loudly and then be surrounded by security guards that claimed she stole something.

Sango's face lit up at the scene and she reminded herself to inform Kagome of the encounter later. As of now, they had to wait, but knowing Kagome…

Nothing was going to stop her from getting sweet revenge.

Do you still feel like you know what you're doing cause I don't think you do, oh!
