Disclaimer: I don't remember if I wrote this on the first chapter and I really don't wan to get sued, I don't own Inuyasha and no one got it for me for my birthday, but there's always Christmas!
For those of you who care and actually read this section, I am so sorry that it had taken me so long to write another chapter! I plan to write more often now that it is summer. My English teacher said that things slowed down right before summer and assigned us four papers to write. Four. And then we had to write a book report and a script for a play. Mind you this was all in the last four weeks of school and I also had finals. I have been staying up really late since summer started and sleeping late to make up for it.
My mom came into my room really early this morning and very worried. She said that I was staring. I had been sleeping with my eyes open, isn't that really creepy?! I haven't done that ever before in my life that I know of, but how would you know? I had dreams about my own house, which never happens, but they were not in my room. This leads to the possibility that I was sleep walking too. I have been known to do that. And I also dreamed about cookies, I must have been hungry, but I also had those for breakfast in the morning. I have a feeling this day is going to turn out really weird.
I have been feeling rather sad lately because the guy I have had a crush on for about a year and a half may quit fencing and then I may never see him again. But at the same time, I feel almost free now that he isn't there and it seems more bearable than to talk to this guy while knowing that he doesn't like you back *wave of depression* Well, you probably just want to read the story, WOW. I have been blabbering on for an entire page, you guys should have stopped me!

Chapter two:
Kagome laid in the back seat of the limo, her hair fanned around her head as she slept peacefully, making her look like some supreme goddess. Her red lips were slightly parted and her eyes lay delicately closed. Her skirt fanned to just cover the tops of her thighs making her look greatly innocent but in the same time like Venus. She laid her head on her bent arm and the other laid against her side, the pale unmarked skin seemed to almost glow at night, but it looked like normal pale skin in the morning, almost as if the daylight hid her true identity.
In the front passenger seat Inuyasha lay just as peacefully. His head leaned slightly more towards his left side, one of the locks of hair along side his face fell gracefully in front of his face. His hands lay along side him limply and he lay there without moving. (A/N: If you need a mental image, imagine when he was pinned against the tree in the first comic book, or the first episode).
Nothing would wake the two, seeing as they looked to the world as if they had the beauty of immortal beings. They lay peacefully until the one thing that no one could stop decided to grace the day with the presence of the two sleepers. A small ray of sun slowly crept it's way up the body of the sleeping girl. The beam snaked up her side, onto her arm, then lay to rest on her beautiful face. Her eyes tried to close tighter, hoping subconsciously that she would not yet have to face the day. But sadly, the force of the sun came over her and she fluttered her eyelashes and finally opened her gray-blue eyes to the day. She moaned slightly and sat up, covering her eyes and slightly stretching her arms to the side.
Hearing her moan, Inuyasha awoke, shaking his head lightly to scare away the sleepiness that sank through his entire body. Kagome made her way to the front seat, not wanting to exit the car, she crawled between the seats and finally twisted herself into the right position to drive. While she was climbing between the seats, and in front of the wheel, she had given Inuyasha a rather good view of her underwear. He turned his head and blushed in the direction of the window, hoping that she hadn't noticed his sight seeing. Inuyasha was far form being a pervert, but he was a guy and subconsciously noted that she was wearing blue silk panties. Kagome rubbed her eyes slightly before yawning.
"Do you want me to drive for a while?" Inuyasha asked in a kind but stern way, having the slightest feeling that by letting the tired girl drive, it would lead to their doom. She nodded and he opened the car door, walking around the car to her side. Once again not wanting to go around the car and into the cold air, she crawled over the seats, giving another underwear shot for the poor unsuspecting teenager.
"I'm really hungry, can we hit a drive through?" Inuyasha was a little startled as Kagome talked for the first time the entire morning, her voice sounding just as beautiful as the night before. Inuyasha nodded and turned the key, which was still in the ignition. They had parked the car in a parking lot late the night before and he just now realized that it was in fact a bank parking lot and decided that they should leave before they caused any more suspicion.
He pulled onto what looked like the main street and drove for a very short amount of time before she was a Wendy's up ahead. He pulled into the drive through and ordered a cheeseburger combo with root beer. He turned to Kagome and asked what she wanted and she ordered a spicy chicken sandwich. Her pulled up to the pickup window and fished a ten dollar bill out of his pocket. He traded it for their meals and took the change. He realized that it was a mere three dollars and thirty two cents. They parked in the parking lot and pulled out their breakfast.
They ate silently ate their meals when suddenly Kagome covered her mouth and squealed. She visibly swallowed and opened her mouth while fanning it with her hands. Inuyasha stopped drinking mid sip when he realized that he hadn't bought her a drink. He quickly handed her his drink and she took it and gulped it with gratitude. She handed it back to him and he realized that over half of it was gone. He looked at it and sweat dropped a little.
Kagome covered her mouth and blushed a little, "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to drink it all, this sandwich is much spicier that I thought it would be." The blush was not actually from the fact that she had drunken half his soda, but she realized that she had outwardly taken an indirect kiss from him without noticing. (A/N: for those of you who don't know, an indirect kiss is like sharing a drink with someone. Much more of a big deal in Japan than it is in America.) her blush only deepened when he drank his soda again, taking an indirect kiss himself. Obviously he didn't know, or just didn't care. He looked over at her just as he finished it off.
"Are you all right? Man, that sandwich must have been really hot, want me to get you a drink?" he said in the most honest way, making her blush even more. She shook her head an excessive amount before he shrugged and looked out the window again.
When they were done with their lunch, Inuyasha looked Kagome with a piercing look, then saying in a stern voice, "Where are we going to go now." Kagome looked him in the eyes, seeing no help in them. This was all up to her. She looked into her lap for a while playing with her hands. 'for a moment I forgot all about what had happened. I was happy that I might never have to go back.' Tears started to form in her eyes. 'I never want to go back. I will never forgive Father for that.' She tried to old her tears back, feeling her throat constrict, making it harder to breath. She gave up holding it in and let the tears fall down her cheeks. She never sobbed, only let the tears fall down and stain her face.
Inuyasha looked at the side of her face, though it was shaded by the hair that fell out from behind her ear. He must have made her really mad, seeing as her fists bunched up in her lap, pulling at the hem of her skirt. 'I have no idea what I did to make her mad. I bet she is so repulsed by me that she wants me to take her home right now. God I hope she doesn't kill me.'
"Kagome, I'll take you home. I'm sorry I made you ma-" he was cut off as he saw her turn around, tears of anger in her eyes. 'Crap. She is going to kill me.' He shrunk away to the other side of the car, but she pushed herself out of the seat until she was inches away from his face.
"I don't ever want to go home! I hate him! I hope he dies!!" Inuyasha shrank back from the death threat, but realized that it wasn't directed at him. He thought who it was and realized it was her father. Though she was angry, he saw the hidden hurt that lay under the surface. He felt so bad that she cried from hurt, and he knew that it had something to do with the fact that she said she wanted him to die. No child really wants their parents to die, no matter how much they say it or try to convince themselves.
She had not gone back to her seat yet, but she had lowered her head so that he could not see her tear stained face. She was shocked when he put his arms around her back and pulled her towards him. She sat there, half in his lap for a while, paralyzed by shock. Then she threw her arms around his back, crying into his shoulder. They sat there for a while, holding onto the last thing that they had, each other. Inuyasha petted her soft hair, hoping that she would calm down.
Finally her sobs ceased and she let go of him. Not wanting to look soft, he let go of her quickly. She settled back into her seat and wiped her eyes free of any tears. She looked at him and smiled softly, then spoke in a quiet voice. "Thank you, I never knew you to be a sympathetic person, but I guess you learn something new every day."
"Keh." Inuyasha replied, turning his head away with his arms crossed, but looking back so as to make sure she didn't start crying again. He saw her smile brightly, leaving no sign that she had been crying. "L-let's get going" he said uneasily.
They traveled on the main street for a while, not really having anything to say. Suddenly the car started making a sputtering sound and he pulled it over to the side of the street. The car completely died. "Shit!" Inuyasha cursed loudly. They were out of gas. Kagome looked upset, then looked across the street.
"Inuyasha! There's a gas station across the street! What luck!" Kagome said enthusiastically.
"Do you have any money?" Inuyasha asked in an annoyed voice. Kagome's smile sunk as she looked at the ironic situation. She sighed and stepped out of the car, deciding that she liked the cool crisp, air instead of the hot, constricting air of the car. She stretched a moment, then decided that she liked sitting down better. She pulled herself onto the hood of the car and laid back against the windshield, her arms acting as a pillow. A car drove by and honked, rousing her from her nap.
"Jeeze. What do you want? We're all the way on the shoulder." She said mostly to herself and Inuyasha, who had joined her on the hood of the car. Inuyasha sweat-dropped, knowing that they were honking at her, not the car. Another car drove by and honked, pulling over to the side of the road. Two guys got out and started elbowing each other. Two rather attractive guys got out of the car, obviously college guys. The one with brown hair said to his friend,
"I get the chic in the school uniform. She's cute!" he said, eyeing Kagome up.
"Well, I get the one with the purple eyes. She's the hot one out of the two." Said the other guy.
Inuyasha started twitching when they were talking about Kagome to the other, not knowing that they could hear them. But when he heard the other guy, he got mad.
"I'M A GUY!" the guy that was eyeing up Inuyasha looked rather dumbfounded.
"Dude! You were checking out a guy!" he said, laughing loudly. He recovered quickly saying to Kagome, "We may have to share you, you looking for a good time?" he said, walking closer.
Kagome was feeling very uncomfortable, but before Inuyasha could yell at them, she blurted out the first thing that came to mind, "I'm a guy too!" Inuyasha fell of the hood of the car and the two college guys backed away, got in their car and drove away as fast as that crappy car would take them. After a few minutes Inuyasha recovered and came and sat back on the hood of the car. Kagome looked at the dazed and still surprised look on his face along with the sizable lump on his head. Kagome looked at him again and spoke in a matter-of-fact voice. "Think we should get off the car now?" without answering, they both crawled off of the hood. Kagome started to make her way to the back of the car when Inuyasha talked in a fully recovered voice.
"Where are you going?"
"Holding onto a little hope that my dad keeps gas in the trunk." Kagome said, opening the trunk. She looked in the trunk, seeing that there was no gas her shoulders slumped. Inuyasha looked over her shoulder at the only things that were in the trunk. He pushed Kagome back and pulled one of two briefcases forward. "Let's open it." Said Kagome, no longer respecting her father or his privacy. Inuyasha unbuckled the clasps and pulled the top open. The two gasped as they looked down into the money filled briefcase. The money almost spilled out and also it was tied together, all of them bundles of 100 dollar bills. Inuyasha grabbed one of the bundles and pocketed it, closing the briefcase and the trunk.
"Let's go." Inuyasha said.
"What are we doing?" Kagome said in response.
"We'll push this over to the gas station, fill it up, and then we are on our way." Inuyasha said with a gleam in his eyes. They put the car into neutral and pushed it across the street, getting flicked of by many drivers as they stopped the two lane traffic. Finally they made it there and Inuyasha started gassing up the car while Kagome sat panting against the car. When it was done, they got in the car and started driving in the same direction they were going before.
"Where do you want to go?" asked Inuyasha, knowing that they could go virtually anywhere they wanted.
"First the beach, then Kyoto, then Hokkaido, then London, then the U.S..." Kagome continued happily.
"Can I take it that you don't want them to find us?" Inuyasha asked, getting a little serious.
"Of course I don't want to be found. This is the best fun I've had in my life!" Kagome started out in a stern voice, but finished in a cheerful tone, throwing hr arms up to emphasize the point.
"Well, I have some bad news. Your father sent an add to the paper saying that we are missing. And not to mention that I have kidnapped you. He has our pictures in the paper and the car." He handed her a paper that had their faces printed on the front page, and low and behold, the car was on there too.
"My dad is so selfish. I could swear that he cares more about the god damn car that if I was dead in a ditch!" she said in a frustration, throwing the paper on the floor.
"We need another car, and I don't think that we have a chance of buying one at a dealership. Maybe we should- whoo baby!" Kagome looked to where he was looking and saw a red Ferrari Roadster sitting in a driveway. He pulled off of the main road and pulled up in front of the house. The thunderbird sat in front of the house with a for sale sign on it. They got out of the car and Inuyasha took no time to be next to it, examining it for dents, nicks and scratches. He ran his hands over the smooth sides of the car and looked carefully at the leather interior. He all but started to drool as he sat on the pavement looking at the car.
"Well, I see we have someone who would like to purchase my car." Said an old man that walked out of the house. He was talking to no one in particular, but Kagome took over.
"I think we are interested in purchasing it, but may I inquire you are selling it in the first place?" Kagome showed great ease with strangers and with financial things.
"I bought it during a mid-life crisis and now I just need a practical car." Said the old man with a smile on his face.
"Is a limo practical enough?" Kagome asked with a wicked grin on her face.
"Child, that car of yours is worth much more that the Ferrari, I can't let you do that." He said sadly, but she could tell that he wanted the car by the fact that he never took his eyes off it when she spoke. She smiled and grabbed his hand, dropping the keys in his hand. He looked surprised, but pulled out a key from his pocket, handing it to her. She shook hands with him, finishing off the deal. She jumped in and started the car.
"Inuyasha, if you don't get in now, I'll leave without you!" Inuyasha hadn't mover from his collapsed-on-the-pavement-and-drooling position, but perked up and jumped over the door into the passenger seat as he heard her threat. Kagome put the car in reverse and sped out of the driveway and onto the main road. She pushed the car to it's limit, loving the feel of the engine. She drove for a while until out of her peripheral vision she saw something all teenagers thrive on. "Mall." She said it in an almost evil way and stopped in mid traffic, turned a U turn and went strait for it. When she saw that there was no access from this street she drove right through the grass and into the parking lot.
She stopped the car in the parking place perfectly and put the car in park. She looked over at Inuyasha to see him clutching the seat and the door of the car, a look of horror on his face. "What?" Kagome said in a perfectly innocent tone. Inuyasha exhaled and opened the door slowly as if suspecting it to start again. She got out cheerfully, grabbing two bundles of money from the suitcase that lay under her seat. "Let's go!" she said in the cutest way possible while trotting off to the main building. Inuyasha followed reluctantly.
The first store that they came to was a girls clothes store. Inuyasha would have run away but Kagome gave him a glare that sent chills down his back and the next thing that he knew was that he was sitting in front of a changing room. He was looking at the ground trying to avoid the angry looks he was receiving. He didn't realize Kagome coming out until she stood right in front of him. He trailed his eyes up her body until he could see all of what she was wearing, and he easily admitted that it wasn't much. She wore a short, red, sequenced dress that was amazingly only held up by thin spaghetti straps. He stared wide eyed for a while until she spoke again, "So, does it look good on me?" she asked in a voice that told him that she really did care what he said.
"Whatever. Get it if you like it, we have the money." 'please get it, please get it...' the next time she came out she was wearing tight leather pants and a tight leather tank top that hugged her figure too well for his well being. "Keh, just get it." Though he said it as though he didn't care, she looked way to good in it for him to admit. Next she dragged him to a man's clothes store and grabbed an armful of clothes for him to put on.
First he came out baggy jeans and a dark purple shirt, looking like a beaten puppy. Kagome smiled and said, "You are definitely getting that." Next he came out in black leather pants and a red silk shirt with a dragon crawling over the chest. Inuyasha liked this outfit more than he expressed and some of the girls with their boyfriends liked it too. Inuyasha didn't notice the giggling girls as he went back into the dressing room to get into his normal clothes again, and he also didn't notice Kagome look angrily back at the girls, making them turn away instantly.
Kagome was kind enough to let Inuyasha stay outside as she went inside Victoria's Secret to buy some underwear, Inuyasha meanwhile stood very still while trying to get the image of Kagome modeling her underwear for him. Finally she came out and they continued on, passing by and looking in the windows. Kagome urged Inuyasha inside a book store. Inuyasha looked around for one minute before giving up and grabbing the latest issue of Ranma. He met Kagome at the register to pay for her books and saw that she had two. Shojo Weekly and a romance novel Sins and Kisses by Moonlight. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow and was about to comment when Kagome glared at him, daring him to.
Soon it was getting late and the stores started closing so they headed back to the car. Kagome let Inuyasha drive because she was afraid that she would fall asleep. He drove for a while until he realized that she was asleep and he was getting much too tired to drive. He pulled into the closest hotel and tapped Kagome awake. They grabbed all the bags from shopping and the briefcase before letting the valet take the car.
They walked up to the front desk and looked at the woman. "We would like a room for the night, and can we pay in cash?" Inuyasha said. The woman looked Inuyasha over, then looked at Kagome, then turned back to Inuyasha.
"She is wearing a high school girl uniform, do you expect me to believe that you have the money to pay for a room, much less in cash?" Inuyasha looked a little angry and like he was about to yell at the woman from his lack of sleep. Kagome saw the problem, but luckily she thought quickly on her feet and jumped in.
"Well, you see, we've come to elope because our parents don't agree that we are old enough to be together, and our friends supported us by chipping in with all their money. We could use my credit card, but I'm afraid that my father will come and hurt me. He has a drinking problem and I know what he is capable of. So would you please help us?" Kagome emphasized her point by grabbing Inuyasha's arm and shedding a very realistic looking tear.
The woman at the desk looked at them rather kindly and nodded, tears almost coming to her eyes. "Well, you are in luck, there is one room that is not booked. It's a good thing that you two are lovers because it is the honeymoon suite." Inuyasha, who had already been blushing from the comment of them coming to elope, had his jaw drop to the floor when he heard about the room situation. Kagome handed over the money and took the key.
She dragged Inuyasha after her and went to the elevator. She selected the top floor as the woman had told her and they sat in uncomfortable silence as the elevator slowly crept up each floor. They finally reached the 14th floor and stepped out. Kagome reached the door and turned the key. She pushed the door and turned on the lights. They were a light shade of red and the room was filled with furniture that was pink and red. The bed had a canopy around it and there was a large bathroom with a marble tub in it. They looked at the room in amazement and the bed. One bed. One very small bed.
The two looked at each other and blushed, then they entered the room and shut the door behind them.

For those of you who care and actually read this section, I am so sorry that it had taken me so long to write another chapter! I plan to write more often now that it is summer. My English teacher said that things slowed down right before summer and assigned us four papers to write. Four. And then we had to write a book report and a script for a play. Mind you this was all in the last four weeks of school and I also had finals. I have been staying up really late since summer started and sleeping late to make up for it.

They traveled on the main street for a while, not really having anything to say. Suddenly the car started making a sputtering sound and he pulled it over to the side of the street. The car completely died. "Shit!" Inuyasha cursed loudly. They were out of gas. Kagome looked upset, then looked across the street.
"Inuyasha! There's a gas station across the street! What luck!" Kagome said enthusiastically.
"Do you have any money?" Inuyasha asked in an annoyed voice. Kagome's smile sunk as she looked at the ironic situation. She sighed and stepped out of the car, deciding that she liked the cool crisp, air instead of the hot, constricting air of the car. She stretched a moment, then decided that she liked sitting down better. She pulled herself onto the hood of the car and laid back against the windshield, her arms acting as a pillow. A car drove by and honked, rousing her from her nap.
"Jeeze. What do you want? We're all the way on the shoulder." She said mostly to herself and Inuyasha, who had joined her on the hood of the car. Inuyasha sweat-dropped, knowing that they were honking at her, not the car. Another car drove by and honked, pulling over to the side of the road. Two guys got out and started elbowing each other. Two rather attractive guys got out of the car, obviously college guys. The one with brown hair said to his friend,
"I get the chic in the school uniform. She's cute!" he said, eyeing Kagome up.
"Well, I get the one with the purple eyes. She's the hot one out of the two." Said the other guy.
Inuyasha started twitching when they were talking about Kagome to the other, not knowing that they could hear them. But when he heard the other guy, he got mad.
"I'M A GUY!" the guy that was eyeing up Inuyasha looked rather dumbfounded.
"Dude! You were checking out a guy!" he said, laughing loudly. He recovered quickly saying to Kagome, "We may have to share you, you looking for a good time?" he said, walking closer.
Kagome was feeling very uncomfortable, but before Inuyasha could yell at them, she blurted out the first thing that came to mind, "I'm a guy too!" Inuyasha fell of the hood of the car and the two college guys backed away, got in their car and drove away as fast as that crappy car would take them. After a few minutes Inuyasha recovered and came and sat back on the hood of the car. Kagome looked at the dazed and still surprised look on his face along with the sizable lump on his head. Kagome looked at him again and spoke in a matter-of-fact voice. "Think we should get off the car now?" without answering, they both crawled off of the hood. Kagome started to make her way to the back of the car when Inuyasha talked in a fully recovered voice.
"Where are you going?"
"Holding onto a little hope that my dad keeps gas in the trunk." Kagome said, opening the trunk. She looked in the trunk, seeing that there was no gas her shoulders slumped. Inuyasha looked over her shoulder at the only things that were in the trunk. He pushed Kagome back and pulled one of two briefcases forward. "Let's open it." Said Kagome, no longer respecting her father or his privacy. Inuyasha unbuckled the clasps and pulled the top open. The two gasped as they looked down into the money filled briefcase. The money almost spilled out and also it was tied together, all of them bundles of 100 dollar bills. Inuyasha grabbed one of the bundles and pocketed it, closing the briefcase and the trunk.
"Let's go." Inuyasha said.
"What are we doing?" Kagome said in response.
"We'll push this over to the gas station, fill it up, and then we are on our way." Inuyasha said with a gleam in his eyes. They put the car into neutral and pushed it across the street, getting flicked of by many drivers as they stopped the two lane traffic. Finally they made it there and Inuyasha started gassing up the car while Kagome sat panting against the car. When it was done, they got in the car and started driving in the same direction they were going before.
"Where do you want to go?" asked Inuyasha, knowing that they could go virtually anywhere they wanted.
"First the beach, then Kyoto, then Hokkaido, then London, then the U.S..." Kagome continued happily.
"Can I take it that you don't want them to find us?" Inuyasha asked, getting a little serious.
"Of course I don't want to be found. This is the best fun I've had in my life!" Kagome started out in a stern voice, but finished in a cheerful tone, throwing hr arms up to emphasize the point.
"Well, I have some bad news. Your father sent an add to the paper saying that we are missing. And not to mention that I have kidnapped you. He has our pictures in the paper and the car." He handed her a paper that had their faces printed on the front page, and low and behold, the car was on there too.
"My dad is so selfish. I could swear that he cares more about the god damn car that if I was dead in a ditch!" she said in a frustration, throwing the paper on the floor.
"We need another car, and I don't think that we have a chance of buying one at a dealership. Maybe we should- whoo baby!" Kagome looked to where he was looking and saw a red Ferrari Roadster sitting in a driveway. He pulled off of the main road and pulled up in front of the house. The thunderbird sat in front of the house with a for sale sign on it. They got out of the car and Inuyasha took no time to be next to it, examining it for dents, nicks and scratches. He ran his hands over the smooth sides of the car and looked carefully at the leather interior. He all but started to drool as he sat on the pavement looking at the car.
"Well, I see we have someone who would like to purchase my car." Said an old man that walked out of the house. He was talking to no one in particular, but Kagome took over.
"I think we are interested in purchasing it, but may I inquire you are selling it in the first place?" Kagome showed great ease with strangers and with financial things.
"I bought it during a mid-life crisis and now I just need a practical car." Said the old man with a smile on his face.
"Is a limo practical enough?" Kagome asked with a wicked grin on her face.
"Child, that car of yours is worth much more that the Ferrari, I can't let you do that." He said sadly, but she could tell that he wanted the car by the fact that he never took his eyes off it when she spoke. She smiled and grabbed his hand, dropping the keys in his hand. He looked surprised, but pulled out a key from his pocket, handing it to her. She shook hands with him, finishing off the deal. She jumped in and started the car.
"Inuyasha, if you don't get in now, I'll leave without you!" Inuyasha hadn't mover from his collapsed-on-the-pavement-and-drooling position, but perked up and jumped over the door into the passenger seat as he heard her threat. Kagome put the car in reverse and sped out of the driveway and onto the main road. She pushed the car to it's limit, loving the feel of the engine. She drove for a while until out of her peripheral vision she saw something all teenagers thrive on. "Mall." She said it in an almost evil way and stopped in mid traffic, turned a U turn and went strait for it. When she saw that there was no access from this street she drove right through the grass and into the parking lot.
She stopped the car in the parking place perfectly and put the car in park. She looked over at Inuyasha to see him clutching the seat and the door of the car, a look of horror on his face. "What?" Kagome said in a perfectly innocent tone. Inuyasha exhaled and opened the door slowly as if suspecting it to start again. She got out cheerfully, grabbing two bundles of money from the suitcase that lay under her seat. "Let's go!" she said in the cutest way possible while trotting off to the main building. Inuyasha followed reluctantly.
The first store that they came to was a girls clothes store. Inuyasha would have run away but Kagome gave him a glare that sent chills down his back and the next thing that he knew was that he was sitting in front of a changing room. He was looking at the ground trying to avoid the angry looks he was receiving. He didn't realize Kagome coming out until she stood right in front of him. He trailed his eyes up her body until he could see all of what she was wearing, and he easily admitted that it wasn't much. She wore a short, red, sequenced dress that was amazingly only held up by thin spaghetti straps. He stared wide eyed for a while until she spoke again, "So, does it look good on me?" she asked in a voice that told him that she really did care what he said.
"Whatever. Get it if you like it, we have the money." 'please get it, please get it...' the next time she came out she was wearing tight leather pants and a tight leather tank top that hugged her figure too well for his well being. "Keh, just get it." Though he said it as though he didn't care, she looked way to good in it for him to admit. Next she dragged him to a man's clothes store and grabbed an armful of clothes for him to put on.
First he came out baggy jeans and a dark purple shirt, looking like a beaten puppy. Kagome smiled and said, "You are definitely getting that." Next he came out in black leather pants and a red silk shirt with a dragon crawling over the chest. Inuyasha liked this outfit more than he expressed and some of the girls with their boyfriends liked it too. Inuyasha didn't notice the giggling girls as he went back into the dressing room to get into his normal clothes again, and he also didn't notice Kagome look angrily back at the girls, making them turn away instantly.
Kagome was kind enough to let Inuyasha stay outside as she went inside Victoria's Secret to buy some underwear, Inuyasha meanwhile stood very still while trying to get the image of Kagome modeling her underwear for him. Finally she came out and they continued on, passing by and looking in the windows. Kagome urged Inuyasha inside a book store. Inuyasha looked around for one minute before giving up and grabbing the latest issue of Ranma. He met Kagome at the register to pay for her books and saw that she had two. Shojo Weekly and a romance novel Sins and Kisses by Moonlight. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow and was about to comment when Kagome glared at him, daring him to.
Soon it was getting late and the stores started closing so they headed back to the car. Kagome let Inuyasha drive because she was afraid that she would fall asleep. He drove for a while until he realized that she was asleep and he was getting much too tired to drive. He pulled into the closest hotel and tapped Kagome awake. They grabbed all the bags from shopping and the briefcase before letting the valet take the car.
They walked up to the front desk and looked at the woman. "We would like a room for the night, and can we pay in cash?" Inuyasha said. The woman looked Inuyasha over, then looked at Kagome, then turned back to Inuyasha.
"She is wearing a high school girl uniform, do you expect me to believe that you have the money to pay for a room, much less in cash?" Inuyasha looked a little angry and like he was about to yell at the woman from his lack of sleep. Kagome saw the problem, but luckily she thought quickly on her feet and jumped in.
"Well, you see, we've come to elope because our parents don't agree that we are old enough to be together, and our friends supported us by chipping in with all their money. We could use my credit card, but I'm afraid that my father will come and hurt me. He has a drinking problem and I know what he is capable of. So would you please help us?" Kagome emphasized her point by grabbing Inuyasha's arm and shedding a very realistic looking tear.
The woman at the desk looked at them rather kindly and nodded, tears almost coming to her eyes. "Well, you are in luck, there is one room that is not booked. It's a good thing that you two are lovers because it is the honeymoon suite." Inuyasha, who had already been blushing from the comment of them coming to elope, had his jaw drop to the floor when he heard about the room situation. Kagome handed over the money and took the key.
She dragged Inuyasha after her and went to the elevator. She selected the top floor as the woman had told her and they sat in uncomfortable silence as the elevator slowly crept up each floor. They finally reached the 14th floor and stepped out. Kagome reached the door and turned the key. She pushed the door and turned on the lights. They were a light shade of red and the room was filled with furniture that was pink and red. The bed had a canopy around it and there was a large bathroom with a marble tub in it. They looked at the room in amazement and the bed. One bed. One very small bed.
The two looked at each other and blushed, then they entered the room and shut the door behind them.
