Imouto-chan: HI!!! okay sorry for the delay, things happen that you never expect and I got distracted...so...ANYWAYZ a reviewer wrote saying something about Ranma and Akane having something to do with a magnet to water....'_'....yeah, I dunno. I only knew that she couldn't swim for her life, so please just ignore that magnet thingy (if it's true -_- )and just enjoy and remember the rule I taught: R+R=Chapters!

Disclamier: don't own. don't sue (very tired at the moment)

Chapter 10: to the movies!...again...?

After the little incident everyone had kept quiet. Who were those people and why were thay so bent on hurting Ranma or Akane? Apparently Kagome couldn't take it anymore.

"I can't take it anymore!" (told ya)

"Akane, what happened back there? Who were those people?"

"wel-" "That girl thinks she's my fiancee, she doesn't get yet that I'm with Akane."

Akane was going to say something a lot different but what Ranma said made her blush a new shade of red. she looked up at Ranma only to see that he was trying his hardest to look in front of him. Sango couldn't help but smile. If only a certain perv could be more open too. (if u call that open).

***************

The gang soon found out why the cinema was giving free tickets. It appeared that they were only showing two movies. 'Barney goes to AA (Alcoholics Annoymous) or 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon'. Not wanting to see Barney drunk off his ass they decided to see the other, even though they had seen a number of times (Once Kagome brought a portable tv and Shippo played that movie the a lot trying to repeat the moves they did).

The place was desserted, the employees were gone to a party or taking a break. As they passed the snack bar automatically each stomach grumbled. "Might as well get some food" said Inuyasha jumping over the counter along with Ranma and Miroku. Girls stood guard as the boys got what they could, "Hmmm....'Pepsi'..." Miroku examined the tube shaped spray when he accidently pushed the button sending a squirt of black liquid over the monk's right shoulder. "It's attacking!!!" So the battle of Pepsi verses Miroku began. Sango seeing the monk in despair yelled, "AHHHHH!!! it's the- black-liquid-spraying-snake-thingy-of-DOOM!!" Ranma had to drag the tired- from-battle monk away from the drink section. and place him near the ice box and poured some water over him. After a while they all got to the place where the movie was playing. Though the story was good, Yet knowing every line it's not as exciting. Sometimes the group chose characters and said the words right along with the dialog.

The part when the two were 'running' on the treetops Kagome and Akane gasped. Each loved that part of the movie. Both boys noticed,

"Feh, I could do that"

"Same here. It's a cinch." (obviously lying)

"Sure," Akane snorted, "Then do it."

"I would love to but....*sweatdrop*......there aren't......any trees in here and I don't want to go outside." (smoooth)

"Feh, then just do on the seats, unless you're afraid."

"Bring it."

Both boys jumped up and ran on top of the seats across the room. the girls just sweatdropped seeing them flail their arms trying to balance themselves. Through the rest of the movie the two continued to race occasionally falling then starting over again. When the movie finally ended the lights automatically went on. Kagome noticed that Miroku and Sango came walking from farther down the row and had shades of red to match her clothing. Smirking Kagome turned her attention to Inuyasha staring right back at her. Blushing she said, "Let's see if anything's interesting at the mall." All nodding in agreement, the group headed off to the exit.

*******at the mall************

Ranma and Akane had walked ahead of the rest. Akane was looking at the different stores when a fimilar face caught her attention. Akari. "Akari!" Akari turned around to see Akane running to her

"Akane!"

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm visiting some relatives here. How 'bout you?"

Akane merely looked back remebering Ranma. He was closng in on them yet aking his time. Akari looked shock!

"you...and RANMA?! You guys came here ALONE?!"

Akane blushed, "No, we came with some friends, though."

"Is Ryouga with you?!"

"no, why?"

Akari just blushed, "We...got together just before I left. I'm thinking of getting a ift for him here. But i don't know what."

Akane had recovered from her shock. All this time she thought Ukyou was the one Ryouga liked. yet she was still happy that he picked Akari. akane looked around the store and picked out a bandana,

"Here take these two," One was like the one he always wore and the other was covered with small black pigs.

"Thanks Akane," Akari was then called by and elder most likely the relative she was visiting, "I'll see you around, " with a wave akari left.

"Guess you were wrong about Ukyou and Ryouga" Ranma had finaly made it to where the tomboy was standing. Akane was smiling, but then the words Ranma said finally sank in.

"When did I say that?!" Akane then realized that she had explained that when Ranma was unconcious, How did he know...unless...he never was asleep!!! Panic and embarrassment began to build in Akane gut.

"Ehhh...err...You told me...that day...at school" (smooth yet again)

Akane kept silent, he coul be telling the truth but she couldn't tell for sure.

"Nevermind, let's just get back to the others," Spotting them the two made their way back to the four.

Inuyasha had quickly got accustomed to the crowd, though there was some dizziness from smelling so many things and people at once. There were about a little more people from the last time he was there but it didn't matter as much because he could still smell and feel Kagome beside him...'beside me....that's how it should be....My Kagome by my side....All I have to do is tell her. She doesn't treat me different. She treats me like her friend....like her ma-ACK!! Stop thinking that! Damn monk! how does he do it so easily?!" The hanyou had seen and heard the exterminator and monk while running from one side of the cinema to the other on the seats. It made hime blush and left to the opposite side of the cinema where everyone else was. When the movie ended, he saw the said couple coming back from the shadows. He looked at Kagome, she had seen them coming too. Kagome...he only wished that he would have the courage to do that someday. He hadn't meant to be caught looking so intensely at her

"*sigh* Baka! Baka!Baka! why won't my pride let me say what I want to say?!

*Because* (said the tiny infamous voice inside his head)*you're scared of getting rejected. You let your pride get the better of you. She probably feels the same way, but how long can she love while only receiving heartache in return? If this goes on she probably will leave you and go out with that Hobou kid from her time. *

"Grrrrr..not if I have anything to do with it! Kagome is MY mate and there's nothing that's gonna stop me from being hers and protecting her....that is if she lets me....."

Kagome had seen the face Inuyasha had on and got worried. It seemed that he was fighting with himself (Wow. That never happens. ^_~) She tried the same thing last time he seemd troubled she slowly took his hand into his blushing slightl as he briefly tensed then relaxed a bit more, turning to see a slightly blushing Kagome staring in front of her. Inuyasha was pulled from his thoughts yet he just showed a hint of a smile. 'No matter what happens she always finds a way to make me feel happy to be alive ' With that he responded by holding her hand and moving closer to her making her blush even more. 'This day just couldn't be better.' Kagome thought The girls then noticed a chocolate store. 'I stand corrected'
