Chapter 22: Trip to the Mall

"Come on Inu." Kagome dragged the snow-covered hanyou to the mall of stores and Christmas shoppers. Trailing behind them was Miroku and Sango wrapped in each other's arms for warmth. The two couples walked into the mall that was surprisingly enough not crowded. They looked around and it seemed almost deserted.

"Wow, I guess no one is…" Just then there was loud rambling coming from outside. Inuyasha's ears twitched at the sound and turned around with a look of shock on his face. A group of humans were outside pushing their way in the mall through the glass doors.

They came storming into the building and nearly knocked the group of teenagers down. They looked around and women and men doing shopping crowded every store.

"Why the hell are there so many damn people in this place?" said Inuyasha impatiently.

"It's the holidays. Its natural for there to be a lot of people." Said Kagome matter-of-factly.

"Keh, well it smells and the people are loud."

"We won't be in here long alright so don't have a cow. Sango and I are going this way we'll meet you two outside at the car pronto at 2 o' clock."

"NANI! That's 4 hours from now. What the hell are we supposed to do till then?" But by the time he finished, the girls were out of site. Miroku sighed and Inuyasha crossed his arms in frustration.

"What's with women and taking long times shopping?"

"Its so they can look good."

"I don't get it I look good every day and it doesn't take me that damn long to get ready."

"It's a woman thing Inuyasha, Try and understand."

"Keh, its stupid." Inuyasha stood there with his arms crossed and eyes closed. Miroku shook his head and started walking towards a music store. Inuyasha opened his eyes to see Miroku was a good distance away from him and ran up to catch him.

"And where the hell are you goin?"

"That FYE over there." And with that the two guys stepped into the store wandering aimlessly around the store.

Meanwhile

"Sango-Chan, I don't know what to get him. Maybe a Hot Topic gift card or something, I don't know."

"You don't know what to get him? Try shopping for a hentai like Miroku!" Both girls looked walked down the halls of the mall with looks of exasperation plastered on their faces. They looked from store to store trying to think of the perfect gift for them.

"Sango-Chan what do we buy for them? Maybe a gift card is in order." Sango looked at Kagome in horror.

"You can't buy a gift card for people like them. They have money a gift card would seem thoughtless."

"Well what do you think then?"

"How about we buy them new instruments or sound system or something."

"But doesn't Inu already have a guitar and Miroku his drums?"

"I don't know but we can't ask them that would give it away and we can't get them a sound system cause 1 is expensive enough. That would be weird to buy them a joint gift."

"Okay, umm what are their interests? That's what we need to focus on!"

"Umm, damn I have been going out with him and I don't even know half of Miroku's interests."

"Well…umm I know Inu likes videogames, rock music…I know!" Exclaimed Kagome suddenly. "I will buy him an Ipod!"

"Hey I never thought of that…"said Sango dreamily, "But then what do I get Miroku?"

"Umm, err…we'll think of something but right now we need to go to that Apple store." The two girls made their way down to the store with no title. The white store had a design on the window that looked like a bullet pierced it. The store was all white and had different types of machinery in it. There were various computers and laptops that did things from playing music to taking pictures. The store was really high tech. The two girls looked over to where the Ipod's were placed. She looked at the different sizes. There were Ipod nanos, Ipod minis, Ipod Shuffles, and just plain Ipods.

"Well lets get him the biggest one cause I think he would loose the others don't you think Sango-Chan?" Kagome however was talking to herself because Sango was preoccupied by the Desktop computer that had a synthesizer attached to it.

"This is soo friggin awesome!" shouted Sango. Everyone turned to and looked at her strangely. Sango blushed and muttered, 'Sorry'. She walked over to Kagome and sighed.

"I think I will get Inu the Ipod because he would loose the smaller ones."

"I agree. I saw the most awesome laptop that I will get Miroku. These items are rather expensive but we can splurge a little bit I think."

"Hai, I agree."

Meanwhile

"Oi! Miroku let's get the hell out of here!" He yelled so loud that everyone in the store looked at him and Miroku walked solemnly over to him. He waved his hand motioning for the people to keep doing what they were doing.

"Why are you so loud?"

"Shut-up. You don't loud unless you have my ears."

"Yes well if your ears were oh so good then you would know that you just yelled entirely too loud."

"And what the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"Inuyasha, my friend, even you are not that dense." The two guys walked out of the store and down the halls of the mall. They saw various stores with assorted items but none of them seemed to be perfect for their girlfriends. The two came upon Victoria Secret and Miroku began drooling. Inuyasha rolled his eyes as Miroku drooled at the models posing in underwear.

"Come on you perv!" Inuyasha dragged Miroku away from the women in underwear. Miroku was snapped out of his daze when they came upon Hot Topic. They headed into the store and saw two people from their old gang. The guy had a long braid in his hand. He has an eyebrow piercing and red eyes. (A/n: If anyone knows Hiten's real eye color could they let me know.) He had on a long black sleeveless trench coat with a black muscle shirt and black cargo pants. To top it all off he had on black biker boots with a pure silver spike on either side of each boot. His red eyes looked at Inuyasha and Miroku with shock.

"Hey Yasha, Miroku! How the hell are ya?"

"Hiten, wassup?" Said Inuyasha casually.

"What are you doing in this area?" inquired Miroku.

"I moved out her with my bro Maten. What about you two?"

"My girl lives out here." Said Inuyasha.

"As does my girlfriend. Who are best friends." Said Miroku.

"Aw sweet! They gotta another friend." Said Hiten smirking.

"Keh, even if they did we wouldn't let her go out with you and your ass."

"Hey as if your one to talk Inu plus girls aren't much to keep around anyways. Use em for what they are good for and then kick them for the curb. Most of them ain't nothing but whores anyway."

"You're so screwed up man. She ain't like that alright." Said Inuyasha angrily.

"You mean," Hiten smacked his head in laughter, "You haven't gotten laid by her yet." Inuyasha growled at him as his eyes flashed red with anger. He crossed his arms.

"Its not that I can't I just don't need it right now." Said Inuyasha defensively.

"What about you monk? How was she?"

"Hiten, our relationship isn't like that." Hiten burst into laughter.

"You, the perv? Wow this is rich!" said Hiten laughing, "The perv isn't getting any yet either. Wait till the guys here this. Next thing you'll tell me is that you are going to become preps."

"Keh, you're getting ahead of yourself there Hiten. Not all of us are sex crazed bastards like you."

"Whatever!" Hiten said finally. "I swear you and your brother are both alike. Cold bastards with sticks up their asses." He walked out of the Hot Topic and Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

"What a bastard." Said Inuyasha as Miroku sighed.

"Yeah but he knew the old us. We were like that two about a year in a half ago."

"Keh, I was never that much of an asshole."

"Okay be in denial." Miroku simply walked out of the store leaving Inuyasha there to brood with his eyes closed and arms crossed. The hanyou stood there defiantly. He opened his eyes and noticed that Miroku was gone. He looked around.

"Kuso!" he yelled as he stormed out of the store and was about to turn the corner when Miroku cleared his throat.

"I was wondering how long it would take you to notice my absence. You truly are a baka."

"Coming from a lecher like you, that's a compliment." Miroku sighed and began walking away. Inuyasha caught up to him easily.

"And just where the hell are you going?"

"To get a present for Sango and you should be doing the same for Kagome."

"Keh, and what are you going to get her?"

"What are you getting Kagome?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha was silent for a long time. His brows were furrowed as if he were in deep thought. His arms crossed as we walked down the halls of the mall. Inuyasha then spoke.

"I don't know." He said finally.

"What do you think she wants?"

"Don't look at me. She's your girlfriend!" said Miroku waving his hands dismissingly at Inuyasha. "Figure it out." Inuyasha sighed irritably.

"How the hell am I supposed to know what to get her?" he said loudly. Once again, the people of the mall stared at the irritated hanyou. He looked up and saw the crowds of people staring at him. "WHAT!" he exclaimed and the people started hurriedly doing things and avoiding the glares of the irritated sun-kissed pair of eyes.

The time flew by quickly after this. The two boys reported to the car with defeated looks on their faces and bag less hands. Both girls had two bags in hand. They put them in the trunk of the car and shut it. The two girls looked at each other and sighed. They had disappointment written on their faces briefly before they sat in the front seat of the vehicle. They headed back to Kagome's home in silence. The tension was thick and no one spoke in the car in fear of an argument.
