Hello, I'm writing this chapter on Monday, though it's only Monday, I'm already wishing for Friday.





Chapter 2: Ice Cream Popping and Costume Shopping



The next day after running a few errands for her mom, Kagome walked up to her house wondering how she would break the news to Inu Yasha. If she told the truth, he would say, "No way! Not again, you are NOT going to that nut house!" But if she told a lie and he found out, he would be keeping closer tabs on her then he already was. She walked inside and toward the kitchen, "Hi, Mama! I'm home from-"

She walked into the kitchen and Sota and Inu Yasha were at the table. Her Mom scooped a couple balls of vanilla into their bowels. Sota started to spoon it into his mouth. He looked at Inu Yasha who just watched him. "Try it Inu Yasha, it's good!" he said.

The dog boy sniffed the frozen yogurt. It smelled good at least. He sliced a chunk off with his spoon and took a big bite of it His eyes grew wide and he grabbed his mouth in shock. "BWA! MY TEEF!" he shrieked.

"No, no! You're not supposed to bite it! Your're supposed to lick it!" Sota said quickly.

"I've had enough-!" he started, but then the flavor hit his taste buds and slid down his throat. "Hey!" he said. "Not bad!" he started to power eat bite after bite, then his eyes grew wide again and he clutched his head, "BWA! MY HEAD IS COLD!"

Sota sighed in frustration.

"Inu Yasha!" Kagome said. "What are you doing here? I was coming to see you!" she said.

"I decided to come early to keep you from dawdling, get your stuff packed and we'll go." He said.

"Wait!" she said so suddenly. He turned to look at her as if saying, "What?"

"Well," she started. 'Think fast Kagome, think fast!' she looked at him and said, "I gotta stay and help my friends here! Besides, it's Halloween tomorrow! Shouldn't we call it a day?" she started to push him toward the door while he was still speechless. "Go back to your time, nap in a few trees, eat a few bowels of Ramen, chase a few black cats, stuff like that!"

"Huh? Wait a minute!" he looked at her. "What's Haloween?"

She stopped and stared at him in disbelief, "What's Halloween??!!" then she realized he didn't have it in his religion or time.

"Well, it's a time her in my time where you dress up, go around, and get candy for free! K?" She pushed him out the door. "Bye!" and she slammed the door in his face. He stood there for a few minutes in confusion.



"Halloween?" Kaede asked.

"Dressing up?" Sango asked.

"FREE CANDY!!" Shippou wailed. "I wanna go!"

"Well, I've thought it out." Inu Yasha said.

"What?" Sango asked.

"The situation with Kagome staying in her time for this "Halloween." He said. "I've thought it out in a step by step process, I've considered the facts, evaluated the situation, and regarded any other factors."

They looked at him in awe. Miroku asked, "And?"

Inu Yasha frowned. "She has NO RIGHT to talk to ME that way! She's coming here, and she'll have no say in the matter."

"Oh, what a gentlemen." Sango said in sarcasm.

"Does it look like I care what you think?" he asked Sango.

"No, I didn't think Neanderthals could care." She retorted.

"Why you-!"Inu Yasha said.

"I suggest you bring us with you, Inu Yasha." Miroku said.

"I already told you, I'm not bringing you back there again." He said.

"We could do better at convincing Kagome-sama to come back then you could." Miroku said.

"Oh, is that a challenge?" Inu Yasha asked coolly.

"You bet! We could get her to stay with us forever if we wanted!" Shippou suddenly jumped on Miroku's shoulder.

"Alright then, I'll take you there, but if I convince her to come back, then you can't come back there ever again!" Inu Yasha said with a smirk.

"And if we win," Miroku said with an evil smile. "You have to tell Kagome what you truly think about her!"

"I have no idea what you're talking about, but if I did, I wouldn't have to worry because I'm gonna win!" he said.

"You're gonna eat those words!" Shippou said. "Just like I'm gonna eat the free candy when I get there!"

Inu Yasha grabbed Sango's hand, she grabbed Shippou's hand, (because she didn't trust Miroku,) an Shippou took Miroku's hand. They all jumped into the well at once and drifted through time.





Kagome walked up to the mall entrance with her friends Pati, Karai, and Samui.

"Isn't it a little late to buy costumes?" Kagome asked. "It's like Halloween."

No, there's this great shop in the mall that like never runs out of costumes." Karai said. "Besides, how could we have gone yesterday when Pati had to help her brother."

"It's not my fault he's a jerk! I can't believe he started dating Ane!" all four girls made sick looks on their face.

"Amazing how teaching her a lesson at my party, only hooked her up with my stupid brother!"

"It's a sad thing," Samui said. "But this store, it has everything, Karai and I should know, we practically grew up in this mall."

They walked up to the shop and went inside. But they were wrong; the store was practically sold out!

"I guess the partiers already swept through here!" Pati said.

A woman dressed up as the Bride of Frankenstein walked up to them. "Can I help you ladies?" she asked.

"Um, we were just wondering if there were any costumes left." Kagome said.

"If were not too late." Karai said.

"Well you're in luck, we have four female costumes left!" the women said.

"Please follow me!" she walked off and the girls followed.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Yeah! Happiness! Who will win the bet? Will Ane get her revenge? What kinds of costumes will the girls get?!? Why are you still here when you could be reviewing?!?!?!?!?
