27 Dresses

Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or the 27 Dresses storyline or Vogue or The YMCA programs.

Authors Note: This fic. was inspired by the movie 27 Dresses. But of course I'm going to give my own personal twists.


Since the minute Kagome had found out that Inuyasha was dating Kikyo she was hurt. But she didn't say anything to Inuyasha. She wanted things to still be friendly between them and she didn't know what to say to Kikyo. What could she really say to her?

She didn't have a claim on him, they weren't together in a romantic sense. Kagome had wanted more but she didn't have the guts, so she settled for having his friendship. Now that her sister was with him she wanted more than ever to take the step and let him know how she felt.

The problem was she couldn't do that to her sister. But she could let Kikyo know that she was Inuyashas' friend and that she better not hurt him. Even though it hurt she would swallow that emotion and try to be happy. Now she had to try to get through the afternoon with out snapping at Kikyo and letting all her hurt feelings be known.

"Hey Kagome!" a boys voice called, interrupting her thoughts.

Kagome looked around Inuyashas' office wall and found Shippo, his little brother from the Big Brothers Big Sisters program at the Y.

"Oh Shippo, When did you get here?" She gave the cute little boy a big hug and smile.

"A little while ago, I was suppose to meet Inuyasha but he is not here yet. I wonder were he is?" he said.

"Umm, I think he is still at lunch." she told him.

"Yeah with his new girlfriend." Shippo said.

"You know about Kikyo?" she asked.

"Yeah he told me about her. Are you going to come to my game?" he asked.

"You bet she is." Inuyasha said, arriving with Kikyo.

"Hey." Kagome said.

"Hi." Shippo said.

"Is this the famous Shippo that I have heard so much about?" Kikyo asked.

"Sure is, my little brother." Inuyasha said.

"You talk about me, man. So is this Kikyo?" he asked.

"I am. I am glad to meet you. Can I go to your baseball game, too?" she asked.

"Sure. Kagome is coming so can you." Shippo said.

"Well we better get going or you will miss that game." Kagome suggested.

They all left together and arrived at the game with minutes to spare. Inuyasha spent the majority of the time on the sidelines cheering Shippo on while Kagome and Kikyo stayed in the stands. Then Kagome began her questions.

"Kikyo so how did you meet Inuyasha?" she asked.

"Go Shippo! I met him at the dinner with Vogue. We literally ran into each other and started talking and now here we are." she said.

"Really." she said.

"Yeah, I'm going to get a coke. Want one?" Kikyo said, walking away.

"No, thank you." she said.

"Is she regaling you with the tale of the dinner?" Inuyasha asked, returning.

"Yes and no. I asked how you met." Kagome said.

"It was all accidental. But one thing led to another and here we are. She is a great woman and I can't believe how much we have in common." he said.

"Like what?" Kagome asked.

"We both love animals, especially dogs. She told me about a dog thought you had, Jinx. How she used to play with him and go on long walks through the woods. I never met a girl that loved nature so much." Inuyasha said.

"Well the name of our dog was Binx, not Jinx." Kagome mumbled.

"What was that?" he asked.

"Nothing go on what else do you have in common?" she asked.

"Kids apparently. She said she loved kids. And sports, baseball." he said.

"Well that news to me." she thought.

"Hmm." was all she said.

"Tell Kikyo I had to get back to the sidelines, ok." he said.

"Ok." she said.

Kikyo returned seconds later with her coke.

"What have you been telling him?" Kagome flat out asked.

"Why are you so interested?" she asked.

"Well he is my friend and I don't want him to get hurt." Kagome said.

"Kagome, I'm not going to hurt him." Kikyo said.

"You are going to hurt him if you keep lying. Since when do you love kids and nature and sports?" she asked.

"That is not a big deal. I really like him and I can tough it out being outside and playing sports." Kikyo said.

"What about kids?" she asked.

"Kagome, I just want him to like me too. I really do like him. Please don't say anything." Kikyo said.

"Alright, I won't. But you have to tell him sometime." Kagome said.

"I know but not now." Kikyo whispered.

That was that. Kagome was unhappy that she was lying to Inuyasha but she did really seem to genuinely care about him. So she stayed quiet as the months passed by. About three months passed by when Inuyasha asked her to have lunch with him and Kikyo. She of course agreed.

"Hey, sis. Thanks for coming." Kikyo said, spotting her.

"Hi. So what's up?" Kagome said.

Kikyos' face lit up like a childs' on christmas day.

"Kagome we have to ask you a very important question." Inuyasha said.

"What is it?" she asked.

"Kagome will you be my Maid of Honor? We are getting married." Kikyo said, excitedly.

Kagome froze and felt her heart stop cold. Had she really heard what she was thinking that she had heard? Was she hallucinating or was this a very bad dream?

"Excuse me." she said, when she found her voice.

"Be my Maid of Honor. Please." Kikyo said.

All Kagome could do was nod. She didn't eat lunch with them and made an excuse about some paperwork that she had to file to leave. She didn't know what to do. So she went back to the office and to Sango. Sango knew immediately something was off when Kagome didn't look at her when she returned.

"What has happened?" she asked.

"They are getting married." Kagome whispered.

"Oh." Sango said.

Sango but her bottom lip, unsure as of how to help her friend. She knew she needed some time to think but not alone. She would be needing some advice and it would be great if she met someone else. She knew what to do.

"Kagome after work we are heading to Mirokus' club and you are not getting out of it. You need to think but you need to be around people, so you are coming. No arguements." she said.

"Yeah your right. I'll go." Kagome said.

Pleased there wasn't going to be a fuss, Sango returned to her desk. She was going to help Kagome let go of Inuyasha and find her someone new.
