Chapter 6
Inuyasha came across a small department store a few miles from the cabin. He looked over the list then looked at the isles that lined up inside the store. 'Maybe I should have thought this through a little better.' "I don't know what half this stuff is and I don't know where any of it is as well." Inuyasha looked back at the list and sighed.
Out of the blue, three girls showed up, eyeing him. Two of the girls were going on about his hair and how long and soft it was. 'Good thing they didn't notice my ears, that are laid back.' "Hey stop touching my hair." He snapped at them. "No one touches my hair but me and ....." he stopped himself before he said something he shouldn't.
The two girls that were touching him, stopped and apologized. The one girl that was behaving introduced herself. "Hi, I'm Yuka, Did I hear you say you don't know where anything is?" Inuyasha just stared at her without saying a word. "I'll take that as a yes. We can help you, so you can get back to your wife." Yuka stated slyly.
"I don't have a wife." 'well, not yet.'
"Oh, your girlfriend then." Yuka continued to question him.
"She's not exactly...-" Inuyasha blushed slightly as the girl asked him questions and each time an image of Kagome flashed in his mind.
"Oh, anyway, we can help you if you need it." Yuka offered bluntly then took the list from his hand.
The other two girls continued to swoon over him. 'What's with these girls. They look like they're the same age as Kagome, but they're very immature.' He followed Yuka around the store as the other two girls, he learned were named Eri and Ayumi, continued to ask him questions. Inuyasha ignored their inquiring as he watched Yuka toss things into the cart.
"Well that's everything on the list. You can go pay now. We should be going, we're gonna surprise a friend of ours and we still need to find the place. I don't suppose you could tell us where it is?" Yuka inquired as she stared up into his face. 'Gold eyes, how unusual, there intoxicating.'
"Sorry, I'm not from around here. I'm just staying with a friend. Well good luck finding your friend." Inuyasha pushed the cart around as he watched the girls wave and walk out of the store. 'Are all the girls in this time as strange. I'm a youkai and they carried on like I was just a normal guy....well maybe not normal. What's so great about my hair anyway?' Inuyasha ran his claws through his hair as if it held the answer. 'Maybe Kagome can tell me.' He grinned faintly as he proceeded with his shopping. ~******~
Kagome awoke to someone knocking at the door. "Just a second." She opened her eyes and noticed she was in the cabin. There was a fire blazing and her coat was hanging up to dry. She continued to scan around her surroundings. "Where's Inuyasha?" She whispered as another knock was heard. She smiled to herself as she got up to answer the door. "Did you lock yourself out, Inuya-" Kagome stopped short as she was greeted by 3 smiling high school girls.
"Hi Kagome!" They said in unison.
Kagome jumped back in surprise. "Yuka, Eri, Ayumi? What are you doing her?" She stared at her friends while trying to force a smile. 'If they find out a guy is staying here too, I'll never hear the end of it.'
"Well, your mom told me you were up here alone, so we thought we would surprise you." Yuka told her as they walked in and closed the door behind them.
They watched as Kagome ran to the bathroom and looked in, she then checked out the bedroom. "Kagome what are you doing? You look nervous." Eri stated as she placed her bag on the floor.
"Oh, um, I was looking for something." 'Damn where is he?!' Kagome tried to calm herself so she wouldn't get any questions from her friends.
"What? Are you hiding your boyfriend in the linen closet or something." Ayumi joked.
"My WHAT? No of course not....I would.... would.... would keep him the bedroom closet." Kagome joked back. She almost realized too late that Ayumi was just joking and managed cover herself.
"Speaking of boys. We saw the most gorgeous guy in town today." Eri swooned at the memory of the guy.
"Maybe we should sit down before Eri falls and hurts herself." Kagome commented and they all giggled as they made their way to the couch.
"Anyway, the guy was a complete hunk. He had long white hair and looked to be in his early twenties, despite his hair color, I wonder if it's natural. He also had golden eyes." Ayumi was lost in thought as Kagome started to twitch.
'Long..white...hair! What is he doing in town.' Kagome fumed as she thought about Inuyasha in town by himself.
"Apparently he needed some help with the shopping so Yuka helped him. He said he wasn't married, but he didn't exactly have a girlfriend. I wonder what he meant by that." Eri told Kagome about their meeting with an unknown dog youkai.
"Thats because she's techniquely dead." Kagome whispered under her breath so they couldn't hear her.
"Did you say something Kagome?"
"No...no... I was just listening. So what did you guys have in -" Kagome went pale as she heard footsteps in the snow then on the porch. 'OH god it's Inuyasha. What am I gonna do?'
Before she had time to act, the door opened to reveal a silver haired hanyou carring grocery bags. His eyes fell on Kagome in an instant. "Oh, Kagome your awake, I did the shopping.....for......you!" His eyes grew wide with panic as he noticed the 3 other girls in the room. Inuyasha fanticly looked for a way to escape.
"It's him!" Eri and Ayumi practicly shouted at the same time. They then threw themselves at him.
In a flash Kagome was standing between her 2 friends and Inuyasha, arms outstrected in order to shield him. "GROW UP!" Kagome yelled at her friends as they came to an abrupt halt in front of her. "Your Seniors in High School so act your age. And leave Inuyasha alone." She stared her friends into submission.
"But I wanted to see if his ears are real."
"Yah!" ~******~
