Chapter 7 Shopping
Normal POV
"Talking" 'Thinking' (Notes or other)
Normal POV
Inu Yasha was in the bathroom putting on dark blue baggy jeans and an orange t-shirt with some kind if logo on the front.
'Why do I have to ware these things? Grrr the only reason I'm doing this is because she promised to get me lots of ramen.'
Kagome was in her room changing as well because she could very well go out on a Sunday wearing her school uniform. She changed into tight black jeans that flared a little at the bottom and a baby blue tang-top that was form fitting.
'Shopping! I haven't gone in soo long. I hope we don't run into anyone that I know while we're there. I still have to come up with why I look different let alone why Inu Yasha is with me, who he is and how I know him.'
Kagome was surprisingly the first done getting ready, which is weird because she is usually last. She had already even combed her hair and put it up in a loose pony. Inu Yasha came out a little after her mumbling something about evil and death. Kagome took this opportunity of his distraction and snuck behind him, grabbed his hair and put it in a low loose pony. Inu Yasha stopped mumbling to look at Kagome surprised and confused. Kagome saw this look.
"Not many guys in my time have long hair, but if they do it is usually in a pony." Kagome explained. Inu Yasha just nodded with the same look still on his face. Kagome looked over Inu Yasha to make sure that he wasn't missing anything that would make him suspicious.
'Hair, check. Demon features, check. Pants, check. Shirt that shows off his very nice muscular chest, check. Hummm. Wait, what? No! Bad Kagome! Stop that and get on with the checks. Ok, socks, che..not check.'
"Inu Yasha, where are your socks?"
Inu Yasha looked down and shifted nervously. Kagome sighed and went into the bathroom to find pieces of shredded sock everywhere.
'Just get him more socks, 'cause I really don't want to know.'
She mentally ordered herself. Kagome went and found Inu Yasha a pair of dark blue socks and went back to where he was still standing in the hall.
"Si…umm take a seat."
Inu Yasha gave her a confused look but since she didn't sit him he decided that he would, so he sat down on the floor cross legged. Kagome knelt in front of him, grabbed his left foot and slipped a sock on. Inu Yasha was surprised and confused at what she was doing but allowed her to do the same to the other foot. Was Inu Yasha got over his confusion he noticed what was on his feet. Inu Yasha started mumbling stuff about evil again but this time Kagome caught more of it.
"Oh the injustice of it all! They're only socks!"
Kagome huffed down the stairs. Inu Yasha was still sitting on the floor shocked, he slowly got up and made his way to the kitchen where Kagome was. When he walked into the kitchen she had a plate of cookies on the table and was filling a cup with milk.
"Kagome?" Kagome looked at him and put her cup and the milk on the table. "What does injustice mean?"
Kagome stared at him for a few seconds then burst out laughing. Inu Yasha was confused as to way she was laughing but had a felling she was laughing at him. He didn't care though because he would rather that then her being mad at him. When Kagome had finally stopped laughing she went to the cupboard, grabbed a cup and filled it with milk. Inu Yasha (surprisingly) got the message and sat at the table across from her. They had finished their snack and Kagome was telling Inu Yasha what he will all see in the mall and making him promise not to attack or touch anything. She had just finished when her mom walked into the kitchen and told them that she would drop them off at the mall now. When they got to the mall Inu Yasha was in awe, he desperately wanted to touch everything but remembered what he promised and what would happen if he broke it.
/Flashback/
"Do you promise not to touch anything without permission?" Inu Yasha nodded yes. "Good. And if you keep this promise then I'll get you a whole bunch of ramen. But if you break this promise then when we get out of the mall I will 's' you 20 times."
/End Flashback/
Inu Yasha shuddered at the thought of that many sits. They had gone into quite a few shops and had a few bags of clothes and other. Kagome had even left Inu Yasha on a bench when she went and bought underwear. They had even decided that they would buy stuff for Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Ray, Souta, Rare and Kilala. As it turns out when Lion was there for his month he snuck out and got quite the fortune which Ray decided only now to tell Kagome about.
"Kagome!"
Kagome whirled around to look where the voice came from. Running towards her were her three friends from her time, Ayumi, Yuka and Eri. Kagome mentally groaned but smiled when they came over.
"Hey guys!"
"Oh wow Kagome, what did you do to your hair?"
"Cool nails, did you do them yourself?"
"Do you have contacts in? You look good with blue eyes...oh wow did they just turn black?"
Ayumi, Yuka and Eri asked in that order.
"Well, my mom wanted to cheer me up after being sick so she bought some dye and dyed my hair and it hasn't been cut in awhile so it's only natural that it is longer. Ya I did my nails, I got my hair dyed so I thought why not. And yes, I am wearing contacts, my mom got them ordered in from some far away place for me to try out, they're called mood contacts."
"So cool!" They all said together and Kagome's eyes went back to blue.
At this point Inu Yasha was getting a little afraid of the very talkative girls. He didn't know when one stopped talking and the other started. Kagome had noticed that Inu Yasha was getting uncomfortable.
"Sorry guys but I have to go. My mom will be here soon and we promised that we would get Souta a new game."
"We?" They all said at once again.
"Uh ya. Me and Inu Yasha, he's uh visiting, my family with his family."
Kagome moved to the side so that they could see Inu Yasha and gave him a smile that said I'm sorry.
"Wow! So which one is this?"
"Ya, is he the hot headed guy?"
"Or is the possessive one that said he loved you?"
"No wonder you picked him over Hojo, he's really good lookin!"
"OK! Stop, we really have to get going. But I'll be at school tomorrow so I'll see you then. Bye!"
She didn't wait to say anything else she just grabbed Inu Yasha's hand and quickly walked away.
"Bye!" They all yelled, yet again, together.
When the were far away form the girls Inu Yasha relaxed but not totally, Kagome still had his hand.
"They were scaring…Kagome, who's Hojo."
"Ya, they can be a little over whelming at first. Hojo is a guy that goes to my school and has a crush on my and always asks my on a date."
"Date?"
"Ya, remember I was talking to Miroku about this a little while ago."
"Oh ya. Do you like him? In that way I mean?" Inu Yasha was getting nervous and jealous but he had to know.
"No. He is a really nice friend but he is really naïve. And he always gives me healthy stuff."
"Have you ever gone a date with him?"
"Ya. He is just so..I don't know, I just feel bad if I said no without a good reason."
Inu Yasha was going to ask more but they were at the entrance to EB Games and his mouth just gapped at it.
'That is a lot of games.'
Kagome giggled at his reaction and shut his mouth.
"Go find some games that you think Souta will like I have to go but a few more things, I'll be right back. When I get back we'll pay for the games and get something to eat while we wait for my mom, ok?"
Inu Yasha just nodded and went into the shop and started looking at games. After awhile Kagome came back with two more bags then what she had left with. Inu Yasha had found 2 stacks of games. Kagome looked through the games and ended up have to buy Souta two more game systems so he could play all of them. Inu Yasha was liking this trip to the mall very much, well apart from the three girls. When everything was paid for they went to the food court and got some food. While Inu Yasha was eating Kagome left and came back a few minutes later with 5 boxes of ramen. Everything was fine until.
"Kagome!" A boy with short light brown hair yelled happily.
Kagome put on a fake smile.
"Hojo! It's good to see you, it's been so long."
"Here. Mandarin oranges, good for your health!" Hojo gave an orange to Kagome and Inu Yasha. "Kagome? Would you like to go to the park on Wednesday?"
Kagome looked to Inu Yasha for help.
"No, she can't. You see her parents and mine are friends and they expect us to do stuff together this week and become friends." Inu Yasha said for Kagome.
"Oh. Well I guess we'll have to go some other time." Hojo looked at his watch. "Oh, I have to go. Bye Kagome, bye Kagome's friend." Hojo jogged off.
Kagome was about to thank Inu Yasha when her mom found them and told them it's time to go. They all picked up some bags and walked to the car.
'I'll have to thank him later.' She promised herself. 'I don't want to in front of mom, she would probably scold us and tell me to go find Hojo and say I can go.'
When they got to the shrine Kagome gave Ray they stuff they bought for her and said good night, then Inu Yasha and Kagome went to Souta's room. They gave him his stuff, much to his delight, and said good night, although he probably didn't hear it because he was already busy looking through his new games. Kagome walked with Inu Yasha until they got to the guest room, Inu Yasha opened the door and walked in a little before turning around to see what Kagome wanted.
"Thank you. With Hojo I mean."
Kagome walked up to him and stood on her the tip of her toes and kissed him on the cheek.
"Night Inu Yasha."
"Night." Inu Yasha mumbled still shocked.
Kagome walked to her room with the rest of the bags and put them on her floor. She set her alarm clock since she promised her friends she would go to school and got ready for bed. When she got comfy and was about to fall asleep rare jumped up and cuddled. Kagome fell asleep with a smile for more then one reason. Inu Yasha on the other hand had a lot of trouble falling asleep thanks to her.
