Second Chance

Chapter 1: Prologue

The car rode faster as the wind blew through Kagome's raven hair. The wind caused some of her hair to cover her dark chocolate eyes and that innocent look that rested on the features of her gentle face. Kagome looked over to the seat next to her and saw her best guy friend Miroku. He always took care of her and made sure that she was happy. Behind her and Miroku were Kikyo and Ayame. Kikyo was Kagome's cousin and almost like her twin sister because they looked so much alike and they had the same fun-loving attitude. Ayame was always on the lookout for hot, rich guys with expensive cars and pretty much; she was sort of like the bitchy type at Tokyo University because she stole a lot of guys from a lot of girls. Miroku pulled his dark blue Mercedes Benz to the curb and pulled the key out. "Well, here's where you girls wanted to go apartment hunting right?" Kagome and Ayame nodded and left the car.

"Call on my cell when you want Kikyo and I to pick you up!" Miroku yelled to the two girls already entering the large building. Miroku let out a sigh and started the car again. "Kikyo, where did you want me to take you to again?" Kikyo's face turned from its usual cheerful face to this cold, angry look that Miroku and everyone else was afraid of.

"Miroku, I told twice already! I'm picking out decorations for the engagement party we're throwing for Koga and Kagome remember? Besides, I don't have a lot of money so that's why you're going to help me pay for it." Miroku rolled his cerulean blue eyes for he knew what that meant. 'Help pay for it? By that you really mean you need my platinum card to pay for those things. Kikyo, I think I know the perfect guy for you who, I hope, can handle your shopping habits.' Sometimes Miroku wondered why he was friends with Kikyo in the first place. Kikyo and him had known each other since they were kids, but he was always a pervert to every girl he met. Heck if it weren't for Kikyo, he would have never met Sango in the first place and he would still be bachelor.

Meanwhile

"Ayame, how about we look at apartments tomorrow because right now, I feel more like..." Kagome thought about what she would rather do until Ayame finished her sentence for her.

"Shop 'til you drop! Come on then!" She grabbed her friend's arm and started running down the street for they weren't very far to where Kagome wanted to buy her wedding dress. "Ayame, slow down!" Her pleas weren't enough to get her friend to stop for once Ayame has her mind set on something, it stays that way. Soon they started to slow down for they had reached their destination.

"Okay, now let's pick out your wedding dress and put it on reserve." Kagome tried to catch her breath for she just ran two whole blocks in wedges. She was pissed, but didn't show it much. "Shouldn't I wait for Miroku? I mean, he is the one paying for this wedding and Kikyo is suppose to help me pick it out. Are you sure?"

"I'm positive Kagome! Have I ever let you down?" Kagome mentally screamed in her head all the times she let her down. 'When we flirted with Yura's boyfriend and she caught me instead of us. When you told me that our math teacher was sleeping with all the boys in the class and I got in trouble instead of you. Then there was time when we dressed as strippers for our newspaper then I got drunk and ended up outside on the streets the next morning! There are too many times too count Ayame!' "Once or twice, but who's counting! How about we do this later Ayame?" Ayame shrugged in defeat and called Miroku on her cell telling him to pick them up. While she was on the phone, Kagome looked at the wedding shop and saw the most gorgeous wedding dress ever. The material was a silk white and beaded white roses went around the bottom of the dress. It looked so soft and beautiful that she almost forgot to look at the price tag. Her chocolate eyes scanned for a price tag and saw one next it and her eyes widened in surprise.

'3...30...30,000 dollars! Miroku's spending too much on this wedding already and I don't want to cause him more trouble. Oh well, looks like I'm gonna have to choose another wedding dress. But I really don't want to.' Just then, she heard loud honks coming from a car and she hoped it wasn't who she though it was. She turned and yes, it was Kikyo and Miroku in the flesh. "Come on Kagome, you are going to love the dress I bought you for tonight's party! Oh, you are gonna look so sexy that every guy in the room will drool over you! Come on, get in." Kagome smiled at her cousin and took her seat inside the Benz. Ayame entered and they all started giggling over the stuff Kikyo bought. Miroku kept driving trying to ignore the giggles coming from the backseat. He had to endure everything from the girls in the backseat for 7 hours because they kept stopping the car to go to store after store. Soon, Miroku took them Kikyo and Kagome to their apartment and dropped of Ayame at hers. Then, he drove on home.

Miroku stopped in front of a large, brown brick mansion with dark green shudders and a gray tile roof. He was still glad that the lights were on inside. He looked above him and saw his wife, Sango on the balcony. She looked down with a fuming expression on her face. He stopped wondering when he looked at his Swiss watch. '10:30. Shit, no wonder! Looks like I'm in for some yelling.' Miroku sighed and pulled the key out of his Benz and into his pocket it went. He opened the front door to find his two sons, Shippo and Kohaku, waiting for him. They ran up to their father and he bent down to hug them. "How come you boys are still up?" Shippo backed away from his dad and hid behind his older brother.

"Ummmm... we were waiting for you to come back. Mom's really mad because you said you'd be home at ten, or was 9:30? Either way, you're in trouble." Miroku looked at his ten year old son, Kohaku. So smart, fearless, and had the makings of a good businessman like his father. Though, sometimes Miroku would forget that Kohaku was his adopted son and Shippo was his real one. Sango and Miroku adopted him when he was five, and Sango became pregnant with Shippo shortly after. Unlike Kohaku, his youngest son Shippo was a very cunning child. He would make a very good con artist and negotiator. Just then, a woman in a long cherry red dress, with ruby high heels to match came into the room and tapped her foot. The boys looked up and saw their mom, Sango. "Boys, upstairs now I want to talk with your father."

The boys slowly backed away and started going up the spiraling staircase all the way up to their rooms, but they wanted to hear their mom yelling at their dad because it was always fun to watch. Once they were out of sight, Sango faced her husband and he had an apologetic look on his face. "Sango I tried to get home on time, but I had to take Kagome, Kikyo, and Ayame home first. They were shopping all day and I tried to call, but the phone was busy!"

"Miroku, the party starts at 11:00 and I don't want to be late to my friend's party. Now go upstairs, put on your suit, and then we'll go. Inuyasha's already in the living room waiting and complaining about his ex-girlfriend." Miroku's face lit up once he heard that Inuyasha was there. Just then, Inuyasha came to greet Miroku and to talk to him.

"Come on, we'll go upstairs and talk." Inuyasha's face turned pale.

"Uhhhh... Miroku? I like you and all, but I don't really feel like seeing you naked and all. You understand, right?" Miroku slapped him on the head. "I'm changing in the bathroom and you wait on the other side of the door! Oh my god, Inuyasha! It's still a mystery to me how you graduated high school." Inuyasha and Miroku walked up the spiral stairs and were soon in his bedroom. Miroku grabbed his clothes and opened the bathroom door.

"Miroku, there had better be a lot of girls over there. 'Cause you know what gonna happen if you lied to me?"

"Don't worry Inuyasha; I'm sure you'll get a girl. Besides, you could resist Inuyasha Takahashi, the only bachelor who could only keep a girl for about 2 weeks!" Sarcasm was detected in his voice while Inuyasha pretended to laugh. Miroku left the bathroom in an Armani suit while Inuyasha wore black trousers and a white shirt with no coat. The men walked out of the room and headed outside with Sango to the car. "We're taking my car Miroku." Sango said, scaring her husband a bit.

"Okay, Sango dear. Inuyasha, come on." Those two were scared every time they got into that red Thunderbird with Sango at the wheel. She drove like a maniac in that car, and now they were only worried about lasting the night.

11:10

They arrived with their skins still intact and they jumped out of the car once it stopped. Some of their friends had already arrived but there were a lot of people that they have never seen before were there as well. Sango and Miroku stopped in astonishment at the crowd of people. "Oh no, Kikyo went overboard again!" Sango said, and Inuyasha merely shrugged his shoulders and kept on walking for he didn't know who Kikyo was and really didn't care much. He found the buffet and started to stuff food into his mouth and started drinking some champagne as well. Sango went mingling while Miroku eyed Kikyo and walked up to her.

"Kikyo, I thought you said only a few people. You know Kagome and Koga are going to be really pissed off because I know I heard them say, 'only a few people'." Kikyo smirked and some her light-brown eyes sparkled in the moonlight.

"Hey, I can't control who brings who." Miroku groaned in defeat and grabbed her arm. He started to lead her to the buffet table where Inuyasha was. "Kikyo, I want you to meet a very good friend of mind." He tapped Inuyasha on the shoulder and he turned around with a mouth full of food and some mustard on his nose.

"Kikyo, this is my good friend... Inuyasha! Would you show some manners?" Kikyo merely giggled at the sight of Inuyasha. She stared at him for a moment for she had never seen anyone like him. His black trousers fit him real good and he looked so hot in that shirt of his. But what really got her were his amber eyes that were filled with humor and his silver hair, which rested on his shoulders and went down to his back. Inuyasha swallowed his food and wiped his face with his sleeve.

"Hey, I'm Inuyasha Takahashi." He said, extending his hand. "So I've heard. Kikyo Higarashi at your service." She shook his hand and Inuyasha smiled a bit.

"Kikyo, what a pretty name for a pretty girl." Kikyo giggled while Miroku had already left for he had spotted the guests of honor, Koga and Kagome. He saw that they were talking a bit and didn't want to disturb them. "Hey Kagome, I have to go to the bathroom, would you excuse me?"

"Go ahead." With that, Koga went through a crowd of people while Kagome sat alone and decided to take a little walk in the garden. 'I can't believe Kikyo invited so many people even after I told her only my closest friends. But I still can't believe she managed to make the campus night house look so cool. But I wonder, what will happen after the wedding with Koga?' Just then, Kagome heard some soft moans that started to get louder by the minute. 'That's Ayame, but which guy is she with?' She walked a little closer to the bush when she saw a pile of clothes on the ground. The woman's clothes were definitely Ayame's, but whose were the guys? Her chocolate eyes widened as she recognized whose shirt that was. She prayed to Kami that she was wrong when she looked into the bush.

What she saw horrified her to no bound. It was Ayame all right, but the guy who was with her made wet tears come into her eyes and down her cheeks. It was her fiancé Koga, the man she thought she loved. Koga looked up and saw a crying Kagome. "Kagome, I can explain." His words only made Kagome cry even more. She looked at her right hand and saw the ring Koga gave. She took it off forcefully and threw it at Koga's head.

"I can't believe that I wanted to actually marry you! Ayame, I thought you were my best friend and instead I find you sleeping with my fiancé! THE WEDDING IS OFF!" Kagome screamed so loud that it caused Kikyo to leave Inuyasha and go to Kagome. When she got there, she saw a half-naked Koga, a naked Ayame, and a crying Kagome running away from the scene. Kikyo walked up to them and slapped Ayame across the cheek.

"I called you my friend and now I call you slut. As for you Koga..." He backed away from her and she shoved him fiercely into the deep end of the pool. "Hope you burn in hell!" People crowded around to see the scene that had formed and Kikyo walked away to find Sango, then Kagome.

"Kikyo, what happened?"

"Sango, tell everyone that the party is over and so is the wedding. And please do it quickly." Kikyo walked off and bumped into Inuyasha.

"Hey Kikyo, I was wondering if your free Friday night, we could go over to my place for a quiet dinner, just the two of us. What do you say?" Seduction was in Inuyasha's voice and no one resisted him when he said something like that. Kikyo stared in complete anger at the silver-haired man in front of her.

"You're hitting on me while my cousin might be in a state of depression. OH MY GOD!" Inuyasha shoved him out of the way and kept walking in the direction of where Kagome ran off. Inuyasha met up with Sango and a crying Miroku.

"What's up with him?" Miroku face was hilarious and completely red. "The wedding is... off. I paid $250,000 FOR THAT DAMN WEDDING, AND NOW... it's canceled. I put that on my PLATINUM!"

"Wait a minute Miroku, you told me I'd get a date tonight and the only girl I find hot around here dumped me! It was that Kikyo."

"Don't worry; she'll probably accept tomorrow or so." Sango said, trying to reassure him.

Meanwhile

Kikyo kept walking until she saw a girl in a sea blue dress with swirls of white all over it. It was Kagome and she walked closer to her crying cousin. She picked her up and now she had a shoulder to cry on. "Sshhh, its okay Kagome, Koga's just an asshole. You'll find someone better, I'm sure of it." Kagome managed to talk through her sobs.

"No, I don't want another guy! In fact, I don't want ANY GUY!" Kikyo's eyes widened in fear of what she meant exactly by that. "You don't mean that you want to be a..."

"NO! I mean falling in love is ridiculous. It only leaves you heartbroken. From this point on, I never want to fall in love with anyone ever again!"

"Kagome, you can't mean that. There's a guy out there that's made for and I know you'll find him." Kagome stopped crying for a bit because crying for Koga was a silly thing.

"Oh yeah! WHO!"
