Be My Savior – InuYasha Fanfic
Chapter 7: Wedding Preparations
"Kagome!"
Kikyo poked her head in through Kagome's bedroom door. Her ex-rival's hair was all messy, and sleep was still clouding her vision.
"InuYasha? Is that you?"
"No, you pregnant lump. It's me. Kikyo."
Kagome grunted, lay back down, rolled over, and tried to get back to sleep.
"Get up! I've strict orders from InuTaisho to take you out shopping with me for wedding things."
"But I'm not getting married…"
"But I am!"
"I'm not going."
"It's just a little shopping! Who cares if we hate each other!"
"I meant I'm not going to the wedding! InuYasha wouldn't want me there…"
"Oh hush! Just come shopping."
Kikyo wasn't going to leave. The only way Kagome could make her leave would be by killing her, and then she would never see InuYasha again. So the pregnant young girl dragged herself out of bed, then seeing that Kikyo wouldn't leave, went behind her screen, and changed into whatever didn't make her look fat, considering her bump, which was now visible.
Once Kagome had tidied up, she went down stairs. Kikyo had changed clothes again, and she looked fabulous. InuYasha was sitting at the breakfast bench eating toast. Kagome tried to smile at him, but he just looked away from her, his eyes full of hurt.
Kagome said nothing to him. She simply linked an arm with Kikyo, said goodbye to InuTaisho, who was sitting on a chair reading a newspaper and drinking coffee, and waltzed out the door.
"That was very cold of you Kagome."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever" Kagome unlinked from Kikyo, once they were out of vision. "Don't think this means I like you Kikyo."
"I really don't see why we have a problem Kagome…You don't love InuYasha, I do."
Kagome narrowed her eyes, and it dawned on Kikyo.
"Oh, I see. So you do. But what are you afraid of?"
"That's none of your business Kikyo! And I do NOT love InuYasha!"
"We used to be such good friends before he came along Kagome…I know how you felt about him back then…And I think you still do."
"What makes you think that you evil witch?"
"You were playing the song you wrote for him, yesterday morning on the piano…"
Kagome turned away from Kikyo, her face red from anger, and embarrassment.
"What does it matter? He's marrying you."
"Yes. He is." Kikyo replied coldly.
They spoke no more during the limousine ride to the largest, most expensive mall in the area. Kikyo dragged Kagome through all the shops, looking at every dress, every flower arrangement, every bakery, and all those things that are essential for an over-showy, over-priced wedding.
Kikyo decided on a gorgeous dress. It was strapless, made of silk, and it flared out at the bottom. There were millions of sequins and beads sewn in intricate patterns on the bodice, and the bottom half of the dress had beads draped around it, and in the light, the glitter that was sprinkled around it carefully shone beautifully. There were no gloves with the dress, just a silk and glitter shawl to be hung elegantly around the arms.
Her shoes were white, with strapped heels, and she chose a simple diamond necklace to accompany the outfit.
Seeing Kikyo in this ensemble, Kagome was speechless. Kikyo looked beautiful. A worthy trophy to hang off InuYasha's arm at special occasions.
"You like it?" Kikyo asked. Kagome just nodded.
"Then InuYasha will like it too. Now, we need to buy a suit for him. InuTaisho says that InuYasha doesn't own one."
"No...he doesn't…"
"That's why you're here. You know what kind of suit he would wear."
"He wouldn't."
"You're going to pick him a suit to wear"
"He won't like it…"
Kagome couldn't argue anymore, so she went to the tuxedo store, and started looking around. A shop assistant came over to them.
"Can I help you lovely ladies?"
"Yes, we're looking for a tuxedo, for my wedding." Kikyo said.
"We got that. This way please."
The man showed them fine tuxedos.
"I don't like them." Kagome said flatly.
The assistant looked at them strangely.
"Are you two…?"
"Oh dear god no!" Kikyo laughed. "She's picking the tuxedo that my future husband is going to wear. She knows more than I do about that sort of thing…"
"Oh, my apologies" the shop assistant smiled.
"Kikyo! He'll love this one!" Kagome interrupted the awkward conversation. She had found a red tux. It was simple, nothing flashy. It wasn't all too attractive, but it would have looked good on InuYasha.
"Eugh! You can't be serious! It's hideous! I want something black!"
"But InuYasha will like this!"
"He will be the only one. Find something else. Something black!"
Mumbling to herself, Kagome eventually picked out something, in black. It was plain and InuYasha would look good in this also.
"He's not going to be happy with this…"
"Oh he's not happy with you anyway my dear, so what are you worried about?"
Kagome hung her head in sorrow and said nothing more.
-------
By the end of the day, Kikyo had everything all picked out. Her dress, InuYasha's tux, the flowers were white camellias, the cake was a 5 layer sponge cake, and the music, was the cruelest part. She asked Kagome to be the organist, and ordered her to play the song she wrote for InuYasha, claiming it was written for the wedding, or else she would never see InuYasha again. Kagome had no choice but to obey.
Now she could never say why the song was truly written…

A/N: So Kagome DOES love InuYasha. I, of course being the author, knew it all along, but how is she going to let him know?
