AN: Fic is for DarkAngel048. My first Kag/Atem (a.k.a Yami Yugi) pairing. May I say, Wow! Thank you all for the reviews. 167 reviews and still coming. Thank you all!
Last Time: Atem just sat beside her and watched the wheels turn in her head. The gods had really gifted him with a selfless woman.
Never again did he want to go shopping. It took way too long to pick women's clothing, way too much time. It didn't matter if they were her size when she picked them up or that it was definately her color. She insisted that she had to try each and every article of clothing on before she would make her purchase. Then she would ask him what he thought when she came out to model them. It was so much easier to be a man.
"Now that we have our clothes what do we need next?" he asked her as she put away her phone.
"According to mom, we need to go to another clothing shop to get school uniforms. Atleast 6 will do; 3 short sleeved and 3 long sleeved. Mom says that they don't have a rule about shoes. That I am thankful. We can get you some boots. Also she said that the school is lenient about students making additions and subtractions to their uniforms so they can express some individuality." she voiced.
He grimaced. Just his luck. More shopping. Good thing he loved her, otherwise he would have found a way to get her mother to shop with her.
"There it is." she said.
She was pointing across the street to a small shop. Displayed in the windows were different school outfits; each outfit had a tag at the bottom telling which school the uniform design belonged to. When she dragged him into the shop they were immediately met by an elder woman with a measuring tape draped over her shoulders.
"What can I do for you two this afternoon?" she asked them with a smile lighting her face.
"Good afternoon ma'm. We are here to purchase a few uniforms." Kagome said.
"Which school are you attending?" she asked grabbing the measuring tape.
"We will be attending Domino High, ma'm." Atem answered her.
"I see. I will need measurements to see to your sizes. Ladies first." the old woman said.
Kagome stood still and followed the directions the woman gave her of when to move and when not to move. Then Atem was next. She wrote down their sizes and showed them to her stock of Domino High uniforms.
"This is the Domino High uniforms. We have two styles for the girls and one for the boys." she informed them and shuffled around to show them the styles.
"I have variety!" Kagome said with a grin.
"Here is the boys outfit." she said and handed it to Atem to inspect.
"Here are the girls." she said and held both up.
To Kagomes' dismay, they were terrible colors. She had to pick from the lesser of the two ugly outfits. Pink and Blue or Orange and Green? Cotton Candy or an Orange? Sweet or Sour? Cotton Candy wins hands down.
"I'll take the Pink and Blue." Kagome said with a slight grimace.
"Most do. The Orange and Green is not very popular." the lady remarked.
"I see why. Who wants to look like a fruit?" Kagome mumbled under her breathe.
"About how many will you need?" she asked.
"I will need about six. Three short sleeved and three long sleeved. The same with his too, please." Kagome answered.
"Of course." the lady said and went about to fill their order.
The time spent in the shop went quickly, much to Atems' relief, and they were on their way to the Kame Game Shop with all of their purchases. But as they were on their way Kagome informed him that after they read all of the school dress code rules, they would get some accessories that helped them individualize their outfits. He didn't say a word to the otherwise.
When they arrived at the game shop; her mother and Solomon were already there and were filling out paperwork for the school. Sitting beside them was another stack of paperwork that was for Kagome and Atem to do. Kagome wrinkled her nose at the papers. Not a thing anyone liked to do but it needed to be done.
"Hello, dear." her mother said.
"Hi, mom." she said.
"Did you find the uniform shop?" she asked.
"Yeah, we did. I'm going to look like a Cotton Candy." Kagome said with a frown.
"Let me see." her mother said.
Kagome pulled out the school uniform and held it out to her mother. Her mother looked the outfit over and then checked the stitchings. Then she held it in front of Kagome to try to imagine her in it.
"The stitches are good quality. The colors are good but that's just me. Go try it on. I want to see you in it." she said.
"Ugh, alright." she said.
She took the outfit and tried it on. Seconds later when she returned to the room she had left them in; Solomon, her mother, and Atem were gathered around in one spot looking at something. She cleared her throat to get their attention and when she saw them stiffen she knew she had gotten their attention. They turned around.
"Oh, Kagome it looks good on you." her mother chirped.
"No it doesn't. You're only saying that because you're my mom." she said.
Her mother hadn't heard what she had said. She was tugging and smoothing around on the outfit. She checked the blue tie and smoothed out the shoulder lines of the jacket. Her mother seemed very pleased by the uniform.
"It is very professional." her mother commented.
"Professional and very little girly." Kagome voiced disdainfully.
"I know it isn't like your old one but it will have to do. Domino High also has a more lax dress policy. I asked the principal about it and he said that they encourage individualism but keeping inside the lines of conservatory." she explained.
Kagome perked up upon hearing that, "We have more shopping to do. Accessories!"
Atem groaned. Solomon patted his shoulder and shook his head. He knew how the "young" man felt. Today it was school outfits and tomorrow they would be picking out curtains. Literally.
"Come on, Atem. We have things to buy!" Kagome said gleefully.
She grabbed him by the arm and dragged the young man out of the store behind her for more shopping.
AN: This is more of a filler chapter and so will the next one. They are here more for a bigger plot to come.
