*EDIT* Thank-you to everyone who have waited. I hope you understand that this trip has killed my pedal foot, my butt, and my teeth are sore but straight but I love all of you too much to leave you hanging even though I'm tired and in pain. So as I promised, chapter 20, 21, and 22 are being posted today! Hoo-Rah for the awesome viewers! :D

Crushed on a Crush

New You

It was already Saturday before both girls knew it. Kagome barely slept because the same conversation kept replaying her head. Sango slept like an angel (sucks for Kagome). The girls had gotten up and got dressed. Today was going to be just them and Eri, Yuri, and Arimi. Saturday with the girls. Kagome and Sango walked out of the front door headed towards her car. It was parked on the other side of the school so they had to walk farther and Kagome didn't care much about the extra walk but nothing was going to ruin this day.
"It is such a gorgeous day." Sango commented as they got into the car.
"It really is. I'm so glad today is Saturday! I needed to go shopping and buy some new outfits." She started the car and drove off the ot heading toawrds the mall.
"Hmmm..." Sango gave a glance at Kagome, as if studying her for a science experiment.
"What is it?"
"I was just thinking..maybe you should change your image..Only a little bit..just tweak it."
"Well..." Kagome thought for a second, "I do like everything to actually change my image...I could become what InuYasha is..it wouldn't be that hard since we practically like the same things..I guess it wouldn't hurt." She turned off to the ramp that leads to downtown Tokyo. They found the mall and drove through the parking lot.
"There never is a parking space.."Kagome grumbled. She turned around a corner adn saw Yuri's car and an empty space beside it. She pulled into the space and saw Yuri and the rest get out of the car and wave. Kagome unlocked the cars and Sango ran out to give everyone a big hug. SHe hasn't seen them in forever because she was sick last few weeks of school until she moved here. Kagome ran out and gave everyone a hug to. (So much hugging, eh?)
"So, what store should we hit first?" Eri asked. They all hooked arms and headed towards the huge glass doors of the mall.
"Uhh.." Kagome was nervous..but why? "How about we go to the hair salon?"
All of the girls except Sango gasped.
"And cut off your beautiful long hair?" Arimi exclaimed.
"I was thinking that maybe I should tweak my style.." She gave a wink at Sango who stood there smiling at everyone's comments. After a few minutes, they finally agreed and walked towards the hair salon. Kagome checked in and waited for her name to be called.

"Why are we at the mall again?" Miroku asked chomping down on his 2nd Taiyaki (which was really InuYasha's...)
"For the last time, we are hear because HT got new shipment and you wanted to go to Spencers.." InuYasha gave a disgusted look.
"Best. Store. Ever." Miroku just smiled.
"Whatever."
"Can we make one more stop?" Miroku stopped and looked into InuYasha's golden eyes.
"Keh. What is it this time?" he crossed his arms.
"I have to pee.."
"Oh for crying out loud!" InuYasha yelled, waving his arms in the air, "I told you to go before we came here!"
"Sorry." Miroku walked to where the restrooms were. InuYasha rolled his eyes and followed.

"Higurashi, Kagome." The hair stylist called out her name. The girls wished her luck and Kagome stood up and walked over the seat that the stylist pointed at.
"What style are you looking for?"
"I was wanting a look like maybe Haley from Paramore or something that screams rock." The stylist looked at her like she was crazy. This girl, right here, wants a rock hairstyle? The stylist didn't question and shrugged it off. She then started to snip away at Kagome's beautiful, long hair.
It seemed like forever before she was finally done. Kagome opened her eyes and turned the chair around and looked at herself in the mirror.
"It's awesome!" She screamed and turned to her friends.
"Kagome-chan! It is kawaii!" They yelled at the same time.
"Now..." Arimi smiled, "to HT!" She grabbed Kagome's wrist and pulled her out of the store.
"I'm sorry." Sango said to the stylist and paid for Kagome's hair.'She owes me..' she thought.
The rest of the girls bowed and followed Kagome and Arimi. They walked and walked all the way across the mall.
"Arimi must have been running..I'm surprised skid marks aren't on the floors." the girls giggled.
"Hey! There is Arimi!" Eri pointed and said. They girls ran up to her.
"Where is Kagome?"
"She saw that," Arimi pointed to a BFMV shirt being displayed at the window, "and that," she pointed to a sign that read 'Buy a band shirt and get another free.', "and she freaked and ran inside."
"That is Kagome..." Sango said and giggled.
"I guess we'll wait..." Yuri said and looked over to her left, "Oh no!" she yelled.
"Wha-" she covered Eri's mouth and pushed the others behind some bushes.
"What is it?" Eri whispered, angrily.
"InuYasha and Miroku." The girls followed their movement into the store.
"This should be interesting.." Arimi said. The girls giggled.

"We are only in here for that?" Miroku looked bored.
"Yes and then we will be out so you can go to Spencers." he disgustingly said.
"Fine."
"I see it Miroku!" InuYasha dashed towards a shirt as he saw was the only one left.
"Gotcha!" His hand touch anothers. The hand was warm and seemed full of light. His eyes looked down at brown ones. It seemed as though everything froze and all you could hear were their heartbeats.
"I..uh.." Kagome studdered, "you can have it!" She took her hand from his and ran out of the store. She ran from InuYasha. She didn't stop running. She ran past everyone and everything. Everything seemed in slow motion. Her friedns tried to catch up to her. Kagome ran out of the mall and to her car. She tried to open the door but it was locked. Sango had the car keys. Her friends finally caught up to her. She was sitting beside the car.
Arimi pulled her up, "Why did you run away? Baka!" Kagome grabbed loose of her grip and told them what happened.
Yuri sighed, "Maybe one day.."
"One day what?"
"Nevermind. Let's go home." Everyone agreed. They were most definitely tired from running all over the place. Everyone hugged one another and they got in their cars and drove home.

InuYasha and Miroku still stood in shock.
"Who was that chick!" Miroku smiled, all thoughts running through his head.
"I don't know but I got the last shirt!"
"Only because that girl said you could have it..." He gave a straight face at InuYasha. InuYasha didn't care who she was. As long as he got that shirt, he was fine.
"Whatever." He gave his signature 'keh', "You wanted to go to Spencers?"
"Yeah! Good stuff in there!"
"Whatever you say.." he went to the counter and checked out. Miroku got a head start to Spencers. InuYasha, however, slowly walked there...with the image of 'the girl' still fresh in his mind.
