Wedding Bell Scars

AN: I am so unbelievably sorry for not updating for about a year. I blame my school for making me so busy and giving me writers block. Please R&R and enjoy!

Rin stared in horror at the horrible huge brown stain at the back of the dress. It didn't look like she had sat in chocolate pudding, but rather had gone #2 in Kagura's once beautiful wedding dress.
"Oh, is she going to kill me?" Rin said in a very worried tone. She had never been in a wedding dress before and had gotten too excited within her own act. She hoped that Kagura wouldn't care since she didn't seem to care about her wedding, but was very much against it.

"Even though she doesn't want to get married, she will." Yura said giggling a bit about the whole situation they were in. Rin started to cry, which made cruel Yura laugh harder.

"It's alright. Just go to the Laundromat and wash it very carefully. Rin nodded in tears and ran out the door. She would have asked Jaken for a ride, but she remembered that he was with Sesshomaru. She decided not to risk Sesshomaru getting mad at her. She simply rode as fast as she possibly could on her pink bike that had with yellow streamers coming out of the handles. Everybody she passed by looked at her very strangely. She completely forgot she was still in the wedding dress and figured that it was the streamers.

I really need to get rid of those things she thought to herself, not out loud this time. She was about half way there and still going at an 9incredible speed, considering that she was in a long wedding dress. Then, it happened.

The rain came. First it was just a tiny drizzle that she didn't think would be too much of a problem, but then it started to pour down in buckets. She could barely see where she was even going. The dress was becoming soaked in the freezing cold rain. It was also becoming see through. Sadly, she was wearing a blue bra and black underwear, so it really showed.

She finally arrived at the Laundromat as a complete mess. Her black hair was wet and sticking to her face while the wedding dress, well, you get it. Luckily she had left her wallet in the purple basket at the front of her bike so she was safe for money. She stared at the vending machine that handed out detergents. Each packet was a $1.10.

"Alright, let's see. There is s ultra powerful stain remover, I need that. There's also something that's especially good for whites and makes them soft, I need that too. Oh, and one that makes it smell like lemons! That's also good. Oh, one that makes it look shinier; I could use that." It kept on going until she had about 15 detergents. She had never done laundry before. Jaken always did it for her. They were roomies and she completely relied on him in practically every way. Now that that was settled, problem #2 was on her hands. How could she work the washing machine? Luckily, at the precise moment that she was wondering that, Bankotsu and Jakotsu walked in.

"Ugh, the rain is absolutely terrible out there. Don't you agree big brother?" Jakotsu said in his feminine voice in his pink spaghetti strap tank top and his butterfly blue jeans.

"Yep; no denying you there." Bankotsu replied in an agreeing way. His long black braid extended down to his tattered grey colored jeans and his white t-shirt which had a black skull on it. The purple cross like mark had his bangs sticking to it from simply running out from their rusty old car.

"Hey Rin, is that you?" Jakotsu said as Rin turned around in relief.

"You look absolutely beautiful in that dress!" Jakotsu said cheerfully.

"Yeah, except for that brown stain at the back……" Bankotsu said in a tone that meant he hoped she knew it was there.

"I'm still wearing it?" Rin said confused. Bankotsu and Jakotsu replaced worried glances at each other.

"Oh no! I am such an idiot!" Rin yelled in frustration at herself. She had screwed up many times in her life before, like the time she attempted to cook lobster for Sesshomaru and Jaken, but it was never this bad. She had only one choice.

"Jakotsu, could you do me a favor?" She asked and was beginning to blush.

"Yeah sure, what is it kid?" That was their bowling team's nickname for her.

"Can you unzip me please?" She said choking up the words.

"What?"

"Can you unzip me?" Rin turned around while she repeated it. Jakotsu looked very perplexed but did as he was asked. Rin struggled slightly out of it but finally escaped.

"Why do you have so much detergent?" Bankotsu said figuring that it was her first time doing laundry. Rin explained the whole story in about one minute and both burst out laughing. It was very difficult not to as Yura experienced before. They showed her how to use the washing machine guessing that maybe she was right about how she needed it to become perfect. She tossed it in and put in every single drop of each and every packet. She turned it on. She waited impatiently. She noticed that it was only about half way done. Then she slipped out from her slumped position against the machine. She looked back and noticed that many bubbles of slightly different colors were flowing out of the machine creating a foamy like thing (I'm sorry, that was the only way I could find to describe it). She had a look of terror on her face. Jakotsu ran or to help poor Rin up and out of the terrible foam from hell. However, he simply slipped as well. Bankotsu rushed over to help them up, but he tragically joined them as well. Then, their machine was done. Bankotsu attempted getting up to get to it before the machine re-washed their clothes but slipped in a humorous fashion all along the way. Oh, will they every escape now?

Meanwhile with Jaken and Sesshomaru

Jaken grunted out of nowhere at their table in the food court. They had gone out to see some new action movie that was definitely rated as turkey.

"I have a bad feeling that Rin is doing something she shouldn't be doing." Jaken said as he seemed to have developed a sense to know what Rin was doing at all times. It was sometimes quite frightening.

"I'm sure she's fine Jaken." Sesshomaru replied in his usual voice. Jaken still looked worried though; not that he totally cared for Rin, but more that he wasn't sure what the effect would be.

"If you want, we can call Kagura's apartment and see." Jaken nodded so he could find out for himself. He called Kikyo, Yura, and Kanna at his apartment. Kikyo picked up the phone.

-Hello-

"Hello Kikyo, is Rin there?"

-No, I'm sorry, she left a little while ago-

"Where is she?'

-She had a headache so she went home- Kikyo made up an excuse.

"So if I call her apartment she'll pick up?" Kikyo was in trouble.

-No, she'll probably be asleep. It's no big deal though- Rin was plain lucky that Kikyo was a quick thinker. They said their goodbyes and hung up.

"See Jaken, Rin is fine and out of trouble, for the most part. Now we should probably go to the wedding store to pick up a ring for Kagura." Oh, how dreadfully wrong he was.

Back to Rin, Bankotsu and Jakotsu

The drier was finally finished and Rin was prepared to slip back into it and head back; this time in a car!

"I'm so happy that's done with!" She said relieved and practically crying from happiness. Jakotsu laughed to now that they thought it was all over. However, Bankotsu had to destroy their happiness.

"I'm so sorry." He said as if someone had died. He held up a doll-sized version of Kagura's wedding dress, but the entire skirt part was a pale brown. Rin's tears of happiness became those of sadness. Now, Kagura was going to arrive back at her apartment any minute and Rin hadn't found a good way to heal the wedding dress. Also, she was in public in her bra and underwear and nothing else.

"We can run to the wedding shop to get a new, better one!" Jakotsu said proudly of his ingenious idea. They all agreed and rushed there as fast as they could.

They arrived soon after, though they nearly hit an old woman crossing the street, and ran in. Everybody looked strangely at the trio.

"Now then, what size is she? Is she yours Rin?" Bankotsu asked. Rin shook her head.

"No the dress was a bit too big for me. I have no idea." Jakotsu attempted reading the shrunken tag but failed. Rin snatched the tiny dress away and ran over to the dress counter. Little foam suds were still flying off her with every step she took. Her hair was full of them.

"May I please borrow that magnifying glass?" Rin asked as politely and normally as she possibly could. It was tough though. A worker with blond hair and blue eyes in a pink and white uniform came up from behind Rin.

"I'm sorry mam, but I don't think we can help you. You don't have a shirt or shoes and you require those for our service." The woman said regretfully.

"I'll pay you double."

"How else may I help you young lady?" She responded quickly while handing her the magnifying glass. There must have been so pretty microscopic jewels on some of the rings. She looked carefully, just as Sesshomaru and Jaken walked in through the front doors. The both looked wide eyed at her, and noticed the slightly altered dress of Kagura in Rin's hands. She looked up slowly and frightened at them. They stared back. That went on for five minutes. A small "eep" escaped Rin's nearly petrified lips.
