Rin was exhausted, she and Kagome were hauling all of their purchases to the car. It was a lot and Rin's arm felt like wet noodles. She had to kick off the ridiculous heels once they exited the mall and were barely keeping them balanced between her arm and side. She probably looked like Kagome's servant considering she was lacking behind and struggling with her load, while the other girl was still strutting casually with seven bags, sunglasses adorning her face, and the dreamy smile she always get after a full day of shopping. Once they reached the vehicle, she wasted no time opening the trunk and dropping her treasure inside with ease, Rin almost fell in along with the bags. Kagome giggled watching her.
"Shopping was never your thing, huh?" Rin managed a small smile.
"Guess not." The trunk was closed once they separated what belong to whom and got in the car.
"Well it'll be worth it once Sesshoumaru sees you in your new clothes," she mused. Rin and Kagome shopped relentlessly, Kagome knowing the Taisho's better than Rin had pinpointed a certain style she thought the eldest brother would like and the scoured the mall for variations. In the end, Rin had about twelve gowns all knee length or longer, they were all tight fitting but were incorporated with traditional designs, several of them resembled kimonos. Rin had the final say so in all of them but anyone knowing the two of them knew where Kagome had her way. Few had cut outs, mesh inserts, and slits, which Rin agreed made the dresses more… interesting. Inuyasha's card also purchased about five pairs of shoes, all decent height for Rin. But the majority of his money went to lingerie, Rin felt embarrassed just thinking about all the things Kagome made her buy. She had panties now that she didn't even understand how to put on, let alone be comfortable in. Kagome and the sales clerk had a good time trying to see how red the poor girl would get. She couldn't understand why people found her innocence so amusing. Nonetheless, she left the lingerie store with a full bag, Kagome with two large ones for herself, explaining to her that Inuyasha tore through everything. That was information Rin really didn't want to know.
"Where are we going now?"
"To your old apartment," Kagome answered pulling out the parking lot.
"My old apartment?"
"Do you really think I am going to let you stay in that shit hole?" Kagome scoffed, "We're going to get you out you're lease, get your things, and bring them to mines while you look for a new place to stay."
"I can do all that on my own Kagome."
"I know you can but I'm here to help, so just let me, okay? I didn't have someone there for me when I became an escort. I wouldn't be helping you if I knew you didn't need me."
"I could have helped you if you had told me," Rin muttered, she couldn't tell now but she wondered if there was a point in all this if Kagome ever questioned what she was doing. She couldn't imagine the confident Kagome she was looking at now to ever be unsure or scared like Rin felt, then again Kagome was alone, she had to be strong about it. How long did it take her to be comfortable with the whole situation.
"I didn't tell you because I was ashamed," Kagome said honestly, "I was ashamed of it for awhile, but I'm not anymore."
"Why?" Rin questioned truly curious. She always assumed the money and the glamour made Kagome forget about the worst part of her job but Rin couldn't see her being that shallow. Still she didn't expect the answer she got and was completely surprised. Kagome smiled shyly, showing the old sweet, simple Kagome.
"Because I love Inuyasha."
A/N - Sorry for not updating yesterday you guys, I just wasn't feeling it. I know you all love this story but I'm starting to feel like it's not a good story so I'm losing confidence in myself, I guess. I'm going to keep writing though. because my goal is to finish a story on here. But my everyday updates might turn into every other day. I am very thankful for your reviews they really keep me going, and are probably the only reason I update. And if I ever do finish this story, I think a story about how Kagome and Inuyasha met would be great, just an idea though. I'm just praying I finish. Okay well thank you for reading and coming along this journey with me. I am really grateful for the wonderful followers I have! Thank you so much!
