6. Break Away

"What are you doing?"

"AH!"

Kagome jumped, diving for the radio and shutting it off in one quick motion, the new voice startling her heart to pound relentlessly in her ribcage. Taking a few deep breaths, her back stiffened, for she undoubtedly recognized the new voice, and she slowly turned to face the speaker.

"Botan. Ah. Hi." she said, mortified. Leaning back slightly she caught sight of two more shades of colour, one a muddy auburn, and the other an icy tint of blue. "Kieko.Yukina. Erm…Hello?" What were they doing here?

"What were you doing Kagome-san?" Yukina repeated Botan's question, although in a much kinder, and less startling Kagome noted, tone.

"Oh…uh…that. I was…err…dancing." she sheepishly rubbed the back of her head, her face heating up when she felt their gazes rest on her clothing. Time to sidestep that minefield. "Um…what are you doing here anyway?"

Botan wagged her finger admonishingly. "I'm not going to let that one go Ka-go-me." she warned, but continued anyway. "We're here for a girl's night. The boys all had to go … do something, I'm not actually sure, so we decided to surprise you! We were all there, so it was just easier to head over to your place."

Kagome looked over, noticing they all had bags with them. "Oh! You guys want to stay the night then?"

Botan looked at her slyly. "Sure we're not…interrupting something?" she purred.

Kagome's face went beet red. "Ah. Well, this…you see is…"

Kieko peeked out from behind Botan, and sensing Kagome's intense humiliation, decided to save her for now. "Can you finish interrogating her later? It's getting cold with the door open."

Kagome jumped again. "Oh! Yes, come in, come in."

As soon as they were settled into her living room, the T.V. arranged for a few good movies and their sleeping bags arranged and rearranged on the floor, the bubbly grim reaper turned back to Kagome.

"Okay. Spill." she said, "What are you doing in that outfit?"

Looking down, Kagome noted she was still in her clothes they had seen upon arrival. She wore three pairs of baggy PJ pants, arranged so the tops were all visible, a neon pink shirt covered by a man's white dress shirt two sizes too small. On her head was a ruby red 'pimp' hat.

"Well…" she mumbled, mortified all over again when three pairs of eyes landed on her. "Sometimes, when I'm really angry or over excited and I can't get anywhere to blow off steam, I turn on the radio and just kind of…break away from reality. It usually involves me going through my wardrobe and finding the weirdest outfits possible."

"Break away?" Yukina questioned.

Kagome nodded, a small smile settling on her lips. "Yeah, it's good to do that once in a while. Just pretend that no one else exists and just focus on…"

"Breaking away." Kieko finished.

"Yeah…" Kagome trailed off.
