"All clear?" A_G asked Shi.

Shi looked around the corner. "Yeah. Go."

A_G stepped out from behind the safe haven of the corner and shadow and looked around. Good. No one in sight. Now was her chance to grab the item and get out of there. The sooner she did that, the sooner they could go to other stores.

She crept up to the shelf and put her hand up. Almost there…just a little more. Got it. She flitted back to the safety of the shadows, where Shi was hidden.

"Get it?"

A_G grinned, holding up Kurama's car keys.

Shi sighed with relief. It was too cold out to ride her motorcycle and as A_G kept saying, "fire hanyous were not made for the cold of Idaho." "Come on," Shi said, heading for the door. "We have to get out of here before Kurama finds out we're taking his car."

"What are you two doing?" came the familiar voice of Kurama.

She and A_G froze in place.

"Well, we almost made it, A_G," Shi whispered.

"Not almost. Will." A_G turned around to face Kurama, putting on the cutest look she could muster. Kurama was doomed.

"Nothing," she said, eyes big and shining. "We were just going to go outside for a while."

Oh no. Not the puppy dog face, Kurama thought. Kurama couldn't take the kawaiiness of 'the look.' "Alright," he said, defeated. "Just be back soon."

A_G nodded before she and Shi (weird sounding. For those of you who don't know, you pronounce Shi's name like 'she') bolted out the door.

"No one can fight the power of the puppy dog face. I would know, I invented it," Shi said, starting the engine. (I'll let you people use your imaginations to imagine what kind of car Kurama would have)

"So, where are we going?" Shi asked as she pulled away from A_G's studio as fast as she could before Kurama heard the engine.

"Uhhhhhh…" A_G looked at her list for Lj's Crew, deciding to do them first. "Wal-Mart!" A_G started laughing, remembering the fic '12 things to do at Wal-Mart' (Yes, people that fic is actually here on FF.net. Go find it, it's hilarious)

"Hahaha, how about no?"

"I'm not the one laughing sarcastically."

"But who is the one who is kitsune?"

"And who's the Mad Authoress powers?"

"…….I hate you."

"I know," A_G said grinning.

"He is going to kill you, you do realize?"

"Uh-huh. But before I die, I'm gonna have a great laugh." A_G paid the cashier as she handed A_G a blue teddy bear that said 'property of Snuggle Wuggle Bunny Bear'

"You don't think Jay would like it?"

"Let's just go."

"Right-o, kitsune!"
