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. This is for those that have ragged on me about the characters being OOC. Kag/Sesse will be OOC, along with other characters. If you don't understand why they are acting this way WATCH THE MOVIE!!! Thank You. :)

Last Time: He told her what had happened and she apologized left and right. He told her not to worry about it. He had to get her back now. How? He didn't know but he hoped that she would find it in her heart to forgive him. She did say that she loved him. That was good, he just had to get her to listen to him long enough to pull on those heartstrings of hers. Maybe she would come to him, he could only pray that she would.

Kagome returned home and cried her heart out. When she had finished she called her office and told Sango that she would be out for a few days and to get it put down so no one could say she didn't call in for her absence. Sango agreed and they got off the phone. And Kagome went back to pouting.

She waited two days before she called her father and asked about her sister. She learned that she was at his hardware store and her father told her to come up and make amends with her. She told him she would be there soon.

An hour later she arrived and went in. Her father greeted her, called Kikyo to the front, and went outside to leave them alone to work out things.

"Kikyo I..." she began.

"Why are you here? There is nothing else in my life left for you to destroy." Kikyo said.

"I want to talk." Kagome said.

"About what? Your jealousy? What else you can take?" Kikyo asked.

"What do you mean?" Kagome asked.

"You always have everything. Why can't I just have a man I love?" Kikyo said.

"I don't have everything. You do. You always had the boyfriends, you never had to do chores, you have the perfect job, perfect hair, perfect everything." Kagome yelled.

"No I don't. All the guys I dated wanted to date you first. I never had chores because you would already have them done. I lost my job. How is that perfect?" Kikyo said.

"You have Inuyasha." Kagome said.

"Now we know the truth. You were so jealous that you had to ruin what we had." Kikyo said.

"I was not jealous." she said.

"You were so! I fell in love with him and you justy had to have him." Kikyo yelled and threw a pack of sponges at her.

"I was not. I..." Kagome began and had to dodge flying objects.

"Stop that and let me explain." Kagome said loudly.

"Why? What do you have to explain?" Kikyo yelled.

"I didn't want you or Inuyasha to get hurt." Kagome said.

"What are you talking about?" Kikyo asked.

"Your lies. Inuyasha is one of my friends and I didn't want you to lie to him anymore. If you didn't tell him what would have happened later on down the road?" she said.

"Ohhh, why do you have to be right?" Kikyo asked.

"I don't know. I just thought I was helping a little." Kagome said.

"Yeah maybe." Kikyo said.

"And I will admit that I was a little jealous." she said.

"A little?" Kikyo asked doubtfully.

"Alright more than a little at first." she said.

"At first?" Kikyo asked.

"Only at first. Then I met someone." Kagome said.

"And?" Kikyo asked intrigued.

"Well we both screwed it up." Kagome said sadly.

"Oh but you know things can be fixed that is if both parties are willing." Kikyo said.

"Is that what you and Inuyasha are doing?" Kagome asked.

"Umm, no. He hasn't spoken to me since that night. I have called but... nothing." Kikyo explained.

"I'll fix it. Tonight he has a dinner meeting, you get ready because he will need a date. He will be at The Hilton Inn at 7:45. I will talk to him and set this straight. I can tell you really love him and you deserve a chance to explain." Kagome said.

Kikyo smiled and patted her hand.

"You deserve happiness too. Go get him. Even if he doesn't want to speak to you. Follow him and tie him to a chair and gag him to make him listen to your side. Then let him explain." Kikyo told her.

"Maybe. Thanks. I need to go and talk to Inuyasha." Kagome said.

"Ok bye." Kikyo said.

Kagome left the store and headed back to her apartment. She needed to speak to Inuyasha about Kikyo and then she needed to find Sesshomaru and apologize.

After spending several minutes thinking about what she would say to both of the men; Kagome took a shower and changed into a casual black dress. Then she headed to her office to and found Inuyasha rifling through some papers for the meeting later on that night.

"Hey." she said.

Inuyasha looked up at her and she saw the semi- sad look in his eyes but he quickly masked it and smiled at her.

"Hey." he said.

"Do you have everything for tonight?" she asked.

"Yeah, all but a date." he said.

"Ok." she said.

"Will you be my date?" he asked.

Kagome shook her head at him. Many times she had wanted him to say that but now that he did she was already in love with someone else.

"No. But I know someone that will." she said.

"Who?" he asked.

"Kikyo." she said.

"Kagome I.. I can't see.." he started.

"Inuyasha give her another chance. She lied to you yes but she was afraid that you wouldn't love the real her. She knows that she did wrong but she loves you. She would give you another chance." Kagome explained.

Inuyasha thought about what she said and nodded at her. Then he reached for his phone to call Kikyo.

"She is already waiting for you at The Hilton." Kagome said smiling.

"Thanks." Inuyasha said and grabbed his coat.

Kagome watched him go to be with her sister. Now she needed to find Sesshomaru. She picked up Inuyashas' office phone and called the newspaper where he worked. She found that he was covering a wedding and that he should be going to the reception which was being held on a boat on the river not far from her office.

She ran to the streets and hailed a cab. Then she paid him double to get her to the boat fast. Once there she noticed that the boat was just cut loose to begin heading down the river. She ran as fast as she could and made it on the boat before it got too far from the docks.

When she straightened up from her small leap she was face to face with the bride. Whom of which had a look of curiousity on her face.

"Who are you?" the bride asked.

"Oh, my name is Kagome Higurashi and I am sorry for crashing in on your wedding." Kagome apologized.

"Why are you here?" she asked.

"I am here to keep from losing the man I love forever. I did something very stupid and I wouldn't listen when he tried to explain what had happened and I left. I want to tell him that I am sorry and that I love him. I hope that he will forgive me and give me another chance." Kagome explained.

Kagome looked up to the bride and saw that she was grinning ear to ear. Her eyes held a sparkle that was all knowing.

"Come on I will help you find him." she said.

The bride led Kagome to the band stage and grabbed a microphone. She tapped it twice to make sure it was on.

"May I have your attention please. My friend Kagome is on a search. She is trying to find the man she loves so she is going to say a few words." she said moving away from the microphone.

Kagome moved to the microphone and smiled nervously out to the crowd. She scanned the faces looking up at her and found the one she was looking for in the back of the crowd. Sesshomaru was staring at her with a mix of sadness, confusion, and happiness on his face.

"Hmm, Well first off I would like to say that I wasn't invited to this wedding. But I am here because I made a mistake and I want to fix it. You don't have to explain anything. What happened, happened and we can't change it but I can tell you how sorry I am and beg you to forgive me for being so stupid. Please I forgive you and I love you." she said hopefully yet sadness tinged her voice.

Kagome made her way off the stage and was caught by the bride and enveloped into a hug. The bride whispered to her that everything would be ok and go find her man. When they pulled away her man was waiting for her.

"Sesshomaru?" she said.

"Kagome I am sorry. I should have done something to prevent it from being run but I didn't." he said.

"I know. I just blew up like usual and didn't give you a chance to explain and I am sorry. Do you forgive me?" she asked.

"I do. Can we have our chance now?" he asked.

"Yeah. We can." she said.

The bride clapped her hands and the congregation saw what was occurring and realized what was happening. They began clapping along with the bride.

Kagome blushed at the attention they were recieving from so many people but Sesshomaru didn't seem to care. He gathered her to him and kissed her. Several "oohs" were chorused around but neither cared they were right where they wanted to be.

Authors Note: This is the end but I will have an epilogue soon to attach to this and it will then be complete.
