Kagome breathed in deep as the dress fitter tightened her corset. She looked in the mirror and saw how horrible she looked. She looked just like the beggar on the street corner. Her hair was in tangles, her face pale, and she had deep circles under eyes from lack of sleep.

The last two days had been hell for the whole family. The wedding perpetrations were being rushed because Inuyasha wanted it as soon as possible. The whole house was bustling with busy people. It had been too much for Kagome who had stopped eating and sleeping. She figured that if she made her self a wreck the count wouldn't want her.

But when he came for a visit yesterday he took one look at her and pulled her into an empty room. "You must think you're so clever don't you? Well, you look like hell and I like it." He said with a stupid smirk on his face.

What the hell is wrong with this guy? He likes it? I look like the living dead. She gave him a cold stare back but when she could think of nothing to say back she excused herself. She knew there was no way she going to win, no matter what she said or did.

Know it was only two days away from the wedding. It was going to be an October wedding which was very unusual. But Inuyasha had insisted on it. It was to be on the thirty-first in fact, Halloween. Kagome wanted to cry every time she thought about it. Her perfect wedding that she had been dreaming about ever since she was little was being ripped into a million pieces.

"What kind of dress were you looking for my lady?" asked the seamstress. She was a short, old woman with bad eyesight. But she kind and always happy which bugged the horribly depressed Kagome who wanted everyone to in a mood as bad as hers.

"I want a satin gown that is tight around the top and flows at the bottom. I also want red roses sewn onto the flowing part of the dress."

"But my lady I have never done such a thing. It would have to be done right before the wedding so they wouldn't die or be crushed. I'm afraid that it is impossible."

"Then make it possible!" Kagome snapped.

Then seamstress jumped then mumbled a "yes madam". She then went to the back of the room and came back with five dresses. Kagome picked the one she wanted and tried it on. When she saw herself in the mirror she couldn't help but crack a smile. She looked so beautiful even with her looks. "You look absolutely radiant darling." said a voice from behind.

Kagome looked behind her to see Inuyasha standing there, the last person she wanted to see. He was obviously being fitted as well because he was wearing a tux that was slightly too big on him. He smiled, waked up to her and kissed her gently on cheek.

"How are you today? Good I hope." He said smiling, amused that she was still trying to make herself unattractive. He could see right through her plan and thought it rather amusing.

"Do I look like I'm fine?" she asked sarcastically.

"No matter what, you will always look perfect."

"Aw, how sweet, don't you think that's sweet my lady?" said the seamstress as walked around Kagome putting pins in her dress. "I wish I could find a man that would say that, especially while I looked like that." She said with a voice that showed she disapproved of Kagome's upkeep.

Inuyasha couldn't help but laugh at the woman's bluntness. Kagome gave him a warning look but he stop. Instead he excused himself and laughed as he walked out. That was going to ruin her mood for the rest of the day.

It was late in the afternoon and Inuyasha was on his way to pick Kagome up for dinner. Kagome sat by her window and looked down at the almost empty street. There was one carriage outside parked on the opposite side of the street. She didn't think much of it and walked down stairs to wait for her fiancé's arrival.

Kagome walked outside and sat on the steps. For the first time in days she was actually made up. She was wearing a red and black dress and her black hair was in curls. The cool October breeze felt good on her and she felt almost happy sitting there waiting for Inuyasha.

She didn't notice that someone was watching her. She didn't even notice that the carriage that was parked across the street was coming towards her. It stopped in front of her house and a man ran out and grabbed her. Before she had time to relieve what had happened she was in a speeding carriage with a strange man who just kidnapped her.

(Meanwhile back her house)

Inuyasha arrived a few minutes late because his new driver got lost. He made a mental note do something about him later. He knocked at the door and waited until Kagome's mother opened the door with a puzzled look on her face. "Good evening, I'm here to take Kagome to dinner."

"I thought you just picked her up. I saw getting into a carriage not five minutes ago."

Damn, this has Sesshomaru written all over it, thought Inuyasha as he rushed off to find Kagome.
