It's Inuyasha's wedding day! One of his guests talks to him and the bride separately before the ceremony and begins an entanglement none of them saw coming.

Lover of the Bride

Inuyasha took deep breaths and loosened his stupid tie, his eyes straying to the clock on the wall against his will. He shut them to prevent it from happening again.

In a mere hour and a half, he would be watching the woman he loved walk down the aisle. In two hours, they would be married.

His breath began to quicken again and he held it, trying to stave off what he vaguely intellectually recognized as a panic attack. It was going to happen. They had been together for five years and everyone said it was about time. She loved him. He loved her. This was going to happen.

A timid knock sounded at the door with a quavering voice to match. His eyes shot back open, knowing who it was instantly.

"…I-Inuyasha?"

Springing to his feet, he threw open the door.

There she was.

Uncharacteristically drawn in on herself, big brown eyes refusing to meet his own, she stood there with her arms crossed, swaying with nervousness. Out of habit, he scanned her to make sure she was unhurt. But no, she looked just as one should for the occasion. Thick black waves pinned up in an elaborate style he just knew she'd paid way too much money for and a dress that made him choke at how low it was cut and how much leg it revealed.

"Kagome, what are you doing here? You're not supposed to—"

"Inuyasha!" she sobbed, throwing herself into his arms. "Please, please don't do this."

His half-formed thoughts on her appearance were swept away by her words. Inuyasha scowled, pushing the crying girl away.

"Fuck, Kagome, don't embarrass yourself like this. Am I gonna have to call your mom?"

"But I love you!" She tried to embrace him again, but he easily held her off. "Please, Inuyasha, just listen to me."

"No, you listen!" He shut the door quick after making sure no one was out there. It wouldn't do for people to see the twenty-year-old kid from the neighborhood he had grown up in professing her love for him on his wedding day. "Kikyo and I have been together for years. This isn't a fucking chick flick. She and I are getting married and coming here trying to seduce me isn't going to change a damn thing!"

Her brow furrowed and her plump lower lip was made more prominent by a pout. "I wasn't trying to seduce you, I just wanted to talk! But if you wanted to… Gods, Inuyasha, I would do anything for you. And I thought… Why did you lie to me?"

It took a second for her words to register since he was distracted by how one of the tendrils of hair not pinned to her head brushed against her collar bone.

"Keh, I ain't never said anything to you that wasn't true."

Whenever she had come to him, the runtiest kid in the neighborhood, clinging and crying because her big mouth had pissed off some kids she should have known not to piss off, he had told her off for not thinking and then kicked their asses for messing with her. That was the majority of their interactions, since she was seven whole years younger than him, a gap she must have seen as insurmountable as he had.

Her eyes filled with new tears and the old habit of alarm that he had been the cause of those tears and desperately wanting to comfort her had not left him one bit. Still, he fought against it, clenching his hands into fists at his sides until it hurt.

"Y-you said when I got older that we would get married! I thought you were going to wait for me, Inuyasha. I've never even been on a date before because I was faithful to you!"

A feeling that could only be described as Oh shit came over him and he remembered the exact thing she was talking about.

Kagome had been just five years old and he had done her mom the favor of walking her back home from her first day of school. It wasn't something he had wanted to do, but Mrs. Higurashi always gave him enough money to buy a soda and chips from the store when he played with her brat, so he didn't protest too much. He had known from his first sight of his charge leaving the school gate that something was wrong.

When she saw him, she started to sniffle, and he wordlessly held her hand, waiting for her to stop trying to be strong and tell him what was going on. Just when he was beginning to think he was going to have to bribe it out of her with candy, Kagome squeezed his hand.

"Don't tell Mama, okay?"

"Promise."

"…I hit a girl today."

He looked at her sharply. Kagome wasn't a violent kid. She was so nice that he was beginning to wonder if his stranger danger lessons were getting through. What the hell had made her throw hands on the first day of kindergarten?

"What for?"

She wrinkled her nose. "Nazuna said all demons are bad but half-demons are the worstest. I told her you are not even almost bad and how you give me candy and play with me and got rid of all the monsters in the old well house and—"

"And why'd you hit her?"

Kagome took a big breath. "She said you were just trying to fatten me up so you could eat me and Mama should push you all the way down the shrine steps." Her eyes filled with tears just remembering. "A-and she said I was stupid and everyone hates hanyō. So I told her I hated her and hit her in the face."

"Did she tell anyone?"

"No. I think she was embarrassed."

"Good. I'm glad you didn't get in trouble."

"It's not true, right, Inuyasha?" She tugged on his hand until he looked down at her. "People don't hate you. You're nice!"

He wasn't sure how much of history to explain to a kid her age, so he said, "Good people are good. Bad people are bad. Doesn't matter if they're human or demon or in between. But a long time ago, people like me weren't allowed to live in nice neighborhoods or get married or have a job. Nazuna was probably just repeating what old people around her were saying."

Kagome looked appalled and he wondered if he had said too much. Then her spine straightened and he recognized that look she got on her face right before he had to kick someone's ass for picking on her.

"When I grow up, you'll work at the shrine and we'll get married and live there. Then no one can be mean to us."

He snorted at how serious she was. "Sure thing, Kagome."

Inuyasha had forgotten all about their agreement by the time the streetlights came on and his mom called him in for dinner. The fact that Kagome had built her life around it was a little more than insane to him.

"You need to leave."

"I've never loved anyone but you, Inuyasha. Don't you love me, too? Just a little bit?"

"Look, Kagome," he said, unable to look at the face he knew better than his own, "I do love you. A whole lot. But as a friend. No, a sister. Somethin'. It's different with Kikyo, okay? She's a real woman and you're still a kid. She doesn't talk her head off and doesn't expect me to, either. She's beautiful and elegant and would never try to break up anyone's wedding. Hell, Kagome, you're the most important person to me, but I can't see you like that. I'm sorry."

Kagome was distraught. He could smell her tears, hear her jerking, irregular sobs. Fuck, she had practically thrown herself at him. Inuyasha didn't know what to do. He wanted to hold her close, wanted to make her feel better, erase the hurt any way possible, but for the first time, he couldn't.

The door opened and closed. She was gone.

O\o/O

Kikyo paced the length of her hotel bedroom until she swore she could make out a trail worn in the carpet. Her hands came together and she picked at her manicure, mentally adding up the damage in its monetary value.

In just an hour, she was going to be Mrs. Inuyasha Taisho.

All the little bottles of alcohol that came with the room had been dumped in the ice bucket and she had already downed more than half of the noxious concoction. Her dress was laid out on the bed and she stood staring at it, swaying slowly, wearing the sexy white lingerie she had bought last week that she hadn't tried on until just now only to realize it itched like a motherfucker. Her makeup was done, her hair was as good as it was going to get, but she couldn't bring herself to get into the dress. She had dismissed her worried sister hours ago and insisted on getting ready herself, hoping she would be able to work up the courage when she had no judgmental eyes on her.

The knock on the door was an angry series of raps that pissed her off instantly. If it was Kaede, she was disowning her. If it was Inuyasha, she was getting a pre-divorce.

Yanking the door open, she stopped in her tracks. Oh gods, not this bitch.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

The girl pushed past her and she almost lost her balance completely.

"You don't love Inuyasha!" Kagome accused, lower lip trembling. "Just admit it and stop this stupid game. No one could ever love him as much as I do. We were born for each other!"

Kikyo marched over to her and did what she had been wanting to do since she first met her: slapped her right across the face.

"This is my wedding day," she said with a tense jaw. "Gods, I told him not to invite you."

Kikyo had known the little neighbor girl would be a problem the first time Inuyasha brought her home. It was back when his mother had still been alive, though she was fading fast. Even with all that going on, he didn't seem half as earnest to get back to her as he was to see his childhood friend.

"Kagome and I aren't 'friends'." He'd answered her question with a snort to say the very idea was ridiculous.

"Then what exactly are you?" Kikyo asked, already disliking the high school girl he never shut up about.

"It's more than that. We're… It's… She's like my…"

The front door of his childhood home opened and a girl in a school uniform bounded in, throwing herself in Inuyasha's arms with a screech of his name. Inuyasha swung her around, the both of them laughing, his mother watching the two of them with this soft smile and a look in her eyes that made Kikyo nervous. Finally, Inuyasha sat down. Kikyo expected the girl to get her hands off of him, but she just curled up in his lap instead like it was the most natural thing in the world.

"You haven't come home in so long!" Kagome complained, lips in an exaggerated pout. "I turned eighteen while you were away."

The way he looked at her, his expression more gentle than it had ever been with her and lit with a special glow from within, made her insides twist. It was like she was a ghost, passed on and forgotten.

"I sent you a present, didn't I?"

"I'd rather have you!"

Kikyo cleared her throat and forced a smile. "Who's this?"

Inuyasha smiled at her, not realizing how absolutely rude he had just been. "Kagome, there's someone I want you to meet."

The girl looked at her and she could tell the little bitch knew exactly who she was by the way she curled her arms around Inuyasha's neck.

"Are you being audited?"

Kikyo was suddenly very self-conscious in her high-necked meet-his-mom dress, fluffy cardigan, sensible shoes, and pearls.

Inuyasha laughed. "No, Kagome. This is Kikyo. My girlfriend."

As gratifying as it was to see the slut scramble away from Inuyasha, a look of heartbreak on her face, she wished her mumbled goodbyes had come a little later. It would have been fun to see her squirm and blush and hold back tears while Kikyo recounted the story of how they had fallen in love. Izayoi in particular seemed to deflate after Kagome's abrupt departure and quickly excused herself, kissing her son goodnight and bowing in Kikyo's general direction.

"I'm glad you finally got to meet Kagome and my mom," Inuyasha said in the car. There was not a single trace of awkwardness coming from him, like he truly believed all the women in his life had hit it off and had a great time. "We should come back every weekend."

"Are you serious?" she asked, laughing in disbelief. "Inuyasha, your mom hates my guts and that girl was two seconds from pinning you down and fucking you in front of me."

His face turned red and suddenly he wasn't steering as straight.

"It's not like that! For fuck's sake, Kikyo, I told you about Kagome. I'm like a big brother to her. And she's got a ton of guys sniffing around her, okay? She doesn't want me like that. We never… I-it's not like that!"

"Sure it isn't." She knew she sounded bitter, but it was only because he got jealous over her even talking to male co-workers and there he was with a high school girl in his fucking lap like it wasn't weird. "Everything between you and Kagome is just normal not-sibling behavior. But when that creep Onigumo was stalking me, you had the nerve to ask me if I was 'sure' I hadn't done anything to encourage him!"

"I said I was sorry, okay! But fuck, accusing me of harboring some depraved fucking fantasies about a girl I used to babysit is going way too far."

"I never said you fantasize about her! Gods, you are fucked up."

That was the worst fight they'd ever had up until that point. Kikyo didn't talk to him for an entire week and considered their relationship ended, but then he showed up at her job with her favorite flowers and an engagement ring and changed her mind. It wasn't until a few months into their engagement that she found the receipt and realized he had bought it the day after the fight. That made her feel like he had done it only to try and prove he wasn't into that girl he'd had crawling all over him. The fight they'd had when she confronted him with it was even worse than the first one.

But that was then and this was now.

"You hit me!" Kagome said in shock, holding a hand to her injured cheek. A sparkle entered her eye. "Inuyasha will hate you for that."

Kikyo slammed the door shut and rounded on her. "Listen up, you scheming little bitch," she hissed. "I've had more than enough of you and your interfering. Despite all your simpering schoolgirl ways, he chose me. Accept it and leave us alone."

"No way in hell. Everyone knows that Inuyasha and I are going to end up together. You should save yourself the drama and just call this off."

Whatever Kagome was expecting, it wasn't another slap. This time, she reacted with a shove. Still tipsy, it was enough to send Kikyo to the floor, but not before she grabbed the elaborately braided up-do of her rival and brought her crashing down with her.

Things after that were a bit of a blur. Kikyo hadn't fought another girl since high school, when she'd had a bit of a reputation at her all-girl's school as someone who definitely should not be fucked with. Even though she was thirty now, she found the rust came off easily, especially when her opponent had obviously never been in a physical altercation in her life. She guessed that was one of the many privileges of having a half-demon protector.

Kikyo slammed a struggling Kagome to the floor, pinning her down with a knee to her middle. The girl bucked and clawed and somehow during the chaos her knee shoved itself up between her legs. Kagome gasped and stilled, face flushing.

Kikyo pushed harder.

"You stupid whore," she murmured, mouth twisted in a smirk, "you don't really want Inuyasha. You don't even know what you want."

It was easy for her to dip below the bodice and bring her breast into the light since the neckline was so inappropriately low, the dress suited more for clubbing and bagging a one night stand than a formal wedding. Kagome's nipple was stiff, a hard pink pearl in a perfect circle of pink. It reminded her of the ruby chocolate-dipped strawberries that were to be served at their champagne toast.

Before she knew it, she was sucking at her rival's breast, hungrier for it than she was for the delicacies that awaited her at her wedding feast.

Kagome squirmed some more, back arching and angling for more of Kikyo's tongue. Letting go of her grip on the girl's now mostly loose hair, Kikyo left her new favorite toy and pressed her lips to Kagome's instead, swallowing her weak protest. Kagome's hands unhooked her irritating bra and felt her up, fingers pulling at her nipples and brushing her heated skin in soft circles. Kikyo put her hands over hers and showed her what she liked, the older woman initiating the younger into the act of sapphic foreplay just as her own senpai had done when she was even younger than her.

For the past month, Kikyo and Inuyasha had barely even kissed. The both of them had decided to remain celibate as their wedding approached in order to make the honeymoon that much the sweeter, but in reality, as the day of their nuptials grew closer, they were so easily stressed and pissed off at each other for every little thing that they barely even wanted to speak to one another let alone to hate fuck each other.

Consequently, she was horny as fuck.

Luckily for her, Kagome's dress had a convenient slit up the thigh. She didn't even need to tug it particularly hard to get it to split open, revealing lacy black thigh-high tops and no panties. The sight of her bare pussy glistening with her own juices made Kikyo glare up at her, Kagome's answering I've-been-caught smile cute but not quite making up for it.

"Really? No panties? What the fuck were you expecting?"

Kagome's eyes darkened and she put a hand on the back of Kikyo's neck, pushing her down. "Just shut up so I can enjoy this."

The girl was lucky that she tasted as good as she did. Kagome parted her thighs further, offering herself to the woman whose life she had just tried to ruin. She was as wet a woman as Kikyo had ever had and it didn't take much for her to start enjoying herself more than she had in a long, long time.

A beep barely even registered in her occupied brain.

"Kagome, I followed your scent. I need to— What the fuck are you doing to her, Kikyo!?"

There was no talking their way out of the scene that greeted him.

Kagome was on her back, hair tugged out of its fancy updo snaking every which way on the rich carpeting. One breast, still glistening with saliva, was bare, hard nipple pointing at the ceiling. The bride-to-be was on her elbows and knees, the white silk of her panties made transparent by her own wetness. Meanwhile, her bridal make-up was ruined from tears, drink, fighting, and sticking her face up Kagome's cunt.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome moaned, her hips bucking up at the sight of him.

"Fuck."

Inuyasha stared at the scene for another second. Suddenly, Kagome wasn't such a little girl anymore.

His tie and shirt were gone in one swipe of his claws. Just when Kikyo sat back on her knees, wiping her mouth and trying to think of something to say, he stomped over and picked Kagome up, throwing her down on the bed where she bounced on Kikyo's wedding dress. The sound of his growl as he ripped Kagome's dress into shreds frightened even her. Kagome was unfazed, grabbing for him with eager hands and teary eyes.

Their first kiss was more than eye-opening for all three of them. Whatever spark that had remained between them through the years blazed into an inferno at that little bit of contact. With frantic hands, Kagome undid Inuyasha's pants, dragging them down and grabbing his ass with one hand, stroking his hard cock with the other.

"Kagome," he groaned, voice gravelly and deeper than she had ever heard it. "Tell me what you want and I'll do it. Anything."

"I…" Her eyes were full of lust as she looked up at him. "I want Kikyo to finish what she started."

Inuyasha turned to his fiancée, and if he had been the type of person to snap his fingers when ordering people around, she knew he would have done so in his impatience.

"On the bed. Eat her pussy."

She glared at him. "I was going to. Don't order me around."

Inuyasha was back to staring at Kagome with that old tenderness in his face, his expression made more intense by her being naked underneath him and jacking him off. He grabbed her hand and lay down beside her, hungry eyes traveling the length of her body. Kikyo got back to work between Kagome's legs and the receiver of her attentions moaned, grabbing for Inuyasha and kissing him again. Inuyasha brushed his fingers against her nipples, whimpering as he felt her for himself.

"You ever been fucked before?" he asked, following the question up with more small kisses to her face.

Kagome shivered and shook as Kikyo began to pump a finger inside of her while swiping her tongue over her clit.

"N-n-no," she whispered. "Only you. I've only ever wanted you. Only thought of you when I touched myself."

The look on his face could have been called one of pure male pride were it not for the overwhelming touch of the demonic that was there. Kikyo timed her movements and when the two new lovers kissed again, she stuck a second finger inside Kagome and sucked her clit, moving her tongue at the base of the little sacred jewel. Kagome clung to Inuyasha and squealed, every limb shaking with the strength of her orgasm. Inuyasha kissed every part of her face and held her tight, whispering loving things to her that Kikyo couldn't hear until the sobbing and quaking stopped.

Wiping her face, Kikyo rose to her knees again. "My turn."

Kagome nodded, still gasping. The two women kissed, renewing their sexual acquaintance. Kikyo cupped Kagome's breast and ran her thumb over the nipple, idly toying with it. Something warm and wet swiped across her fingers and she looked down to see Inuyasha sucking on the hard peaks. There was no art, no grace to the way he consumed her, simply lapping and nibbling for his own animal delight. Kikyo recognized it from the way he had been with her and figured it was no surprise things had ended up this way.

"You came so beautifully, Kagome," he said, kissing his way down the soft skin of her stomach. "I wanna see you do it again and again and again… Are you ready for my cock?"

It took the girl a second to respond, caught up as she was in the frenzy of kissing Kikyo, but she eventually managed to pull herself away, gasping, "Yes! Fuck me, please, Inuyasha."

Kikyo kissed Kagome's neck, knowing what it would do to the half-demon. The anger and jealousy that flared in his eyes made her wonder if she should be pushing him like this, but she didn't stop, especially when Kagome held her by the hair against her throat, arching and mewling so she could give her a better hickey. Her worried fingers rubbed at Kagome's clit as Inuyasha grabbed the girl behind the knees, spreading her open wide. The path he worked inside her was not done gently, repressed lust and rage fueling his actions, but it didn't seem to bother Kagome. Instead, she cried out, leaning up on her elbows to watch as he fucked her, her hips snapping up to meet his with all the vigor of an eager virgin.

Kagome's tits were shaking from the force of Inuyasha's thrusts and the image made her all the wetter. Kikyo decided it was about time she got hers. Slipping off her underwear, she tossed them behind her, knowing from Inuyasha's growl that they had landed on his face, right where she wanted them.

There was only the slightest bit of vocalized resistance from Kagome, just to keep in character, as she kneeled over her face. If she had really not wanted to eat her out, she could have pushed her away, but she did the opposite instead, wrapping her arms over her thighs and bringing her down on her face. Kikyo moaned at how good it felt to have someone who knew what women liked licking her instead of someone who just wanted to taste. Her hands flew up to her breasts and she leaned her head back, biting her lip as she rode Kagome's face.

The girl had started out teasing her, little flicks of her tongue darting in her hole before sliding up to her clit, never touching it but only ghosting around it. The little bitch did it too many times and it went from being good to being annoying. Leaning back, Kikyo pinched one of Kagome's nipples hard, earning herself a yelp from the girl and a reprimanding growl from Inuyasha. That brought her in line, however, and she stepped up the game on her tongue work, licking her just right while her nose rubbed up against her clit. The bed shook with Inuyasha's thrusts, banging against the wall, and they idly wondered what would come first: the bed breaking, a hole in the wall, or Inuyasha.

Kagome was the first one to lose it. Being fucked by Inuyasha while he rubbed her clit and Kikyo played with her nipples was too much and she cried out inside the older woman, squeezing her ass so hard she'd later find scratch marks. It seemed like the half-demon had purely been holding out for her pleasure, somehow restraining himself just enough that he didn't shoot his load until the first rapid squeezes of Kagome's walls assured him that she was really over the edge. The roar he released into the world as he pumped his cum inside Kagome was loud enough that Kikyo's ears started to ring. Kagome was fine thanks to the older woman's thighs acting as earmuffs. The sound sent shivers down Kikyo's spine and when Kagome gave her one last exhausted suck, she came too, collapsing to the side of the still entwined couple, her head to their feet.

"Fuck," she breathed, surprised she had been the one to say it and not her almost-husband.

With a groan, Inuyasha reluctantly withdrew from Kagome and rolled next to the girl, brushing her sweaty hair back from her brow as he kissed her.

"Yeah. Fuck, Kagome, where did these bruises come from?"

The girl glanced at Kikyo who glared at her. "Uh, Kikyo was just showing me what she learned at an all-girl's school."

Inuyasha was too tired to get really mad at her, instead just giving her a warning look. "Well, I'm glad you two managed to resolve your differences."

"Yeah," Kagome murmured, snuggling into him and beginning to drowse.

"I think that maybe we shouldn't get married," Kikyo said.

"A little late for that. Oh fuck, we're probably fucking late, huh?"

Kikyo hummed in response. The three of them laid there for another moment, none of them making any move to do anything.

"Kaede will be upset," Kikyo said. "She did most of the planning."

"Yeah. And all my friends and family are there. People flew in from all over. They're gonna be expecting a wedding."

Seeing her opportunity, Kagome draped a leg over one of Inuyasha's, pressing herself against him. His cock twitched.

"…I'd be happy to take Kikyo's place, if that's okay."

"Fine by me." Inuyasha kissed her, his lips not even close to being done with exploring her.

Kikyo sighed. "We're going to have to get a bigger bed."
