I get out of school early today, but I am really sick, and the doctor said I have Strep Throat, and I need lots of sleep. I won't be able to write two chapters today. I am sorry, but tomorrow I am going to Denmark before I even get a chance to make another chapter. I have to get out of school an hour early just so I can catch my plane, (we get out at 11:30 today and tomorrow, but tomorrow I have to get out at 10:30.) Here is chapter 26; I hope that you like it!

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.

Chapter 26- Inuyasha Traumatized!

Kagome smiled when she woke up. "Today I get to go shopping with Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi for what we are going to wear to the dance Saturday." Kagome whispered to herself. (A/N: I know that I said the dance was Friday, but I wasn't thinking. Their school week is Monday through Saturday, not like ours how we have Monday through Friday. It would make since for the dance to be Saturday. Sorry about that.)

Kagome asked her mom if it was okay that she and her friends go shopping today.

"That's fine, you can go as soon as you finish your homework, but don't expect any money from me to buy the dress." Mrs. Higurashi told her daughter.

Kagome whined, "But Mom! I don't have enough!"

"Okay, you can have $30, but you have to pay for the rest." Mrs. Higurashi caved in.

"Thanks Mom!" Kagome said, and took the $30 that her mom handed her.

Inuyasha and Kagome got ready for school, and walked with each other to school.

"Hey Inuyasha! Hey Kagome!" Ayumi greeted her friends.

"What time are we going shopping?" Eri asked.

"My mom said that I could come, she gave me $50!" Yuka said excitedly.

"We are going to go once I finish my homework. I am going to make sure I get it done in school, so we have more time to shop." Kagome replied.

Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi walked with Inuyasha and Kagome to their lockers so they could drop off their backpacks, and then they went together to History. (A/N: Ready for fast forwarding?)

After school let out, Kagome smiled. "Inuyasha, did you finish all of your homework in class like I did?" she asked the hanyou.

Inuyasha nodded his head. "Are you going shopping with your friends now?" Inuyasha asked her.

"Hai, you can probably play games on the Playstation with Sota at home." Kagome answered. (A/N: I guess she forgot that Inuyasha might need something to wear special to the dance.)

When they got home, Kagome got her money from her piggy bank, and said goodbye to everyone before she met up with her friends at the mall.

"Inuyasha, come here for a second." Mrs. Higurashi called to Inuyasha.

"Yes?" Inuyasha asked when he walked up to her.

Of course, she began to tweak his ears. 'Is this all she wanted?' Inuyasha thought, annoyed.

"Get in the car; I am going to take you to get a tuxedo to wear for the dance." Mrs. Higurashi told him.

"A what?" Inuyasha asked.

"Tuxedo, it is what you need to wear to formal things, like your dance." She explained.

Inuyasha nodded, and when she let go of his ears, he went to the car. They stopped when they reached the "Formalwear for Men" store.

"We're here." Mrs. Higurashi told him.

They got out of the car, and walked into the store.

"Will you help me find a nice tuxedo that will fit this young man?" Mrs. Higurashi asked a man at the front desk.

"Yes, ma'am; I will be happy to." He answered.

"My name is Terry; do you have his measurements?" Terry asked.

Mrs. Higurashi shook her head, and the man led them to a door that read, "MEASUREMENT ROOM."

"You can wait out here while I will take his measurements inside here." Terry told Mrs. Higurashi, who nodded and watched as he opened the door for Inuyasha.

When they got inside, Terry shut the door. "Okay, I will need you to spread you legs a little more that shoulder length apart and hold your arms out like this." Terry instructed and demonstrated.

Inuyasha did as told, and Terry put the tape measure across Inuyasha's arms. He wrote the number down, and then put the tape measure from Inuyasha's heel to the base of his leg, then cupped his hand on Inuyasha's... the area between Inuyasha's legs, then wrote down another number.

Inuyasha's eyes widened. 'WHAT IN THE SEVEN HELLS?! Did he just... GROPE ME?!' Inuyasha thought, with panic.

"Okay, all done." Terry told Inuyasha with a smile.

They walked out the room. "I have his measurements, this way please." Terry told Mrs. Higurashi, as he led her to some tuxedos.

Mrs. Higurashi smiled, and took one of the racks. "This one looks like it would suit you well." Mrs. Higurashi held it up. It was a black tuxedo.

Terry smiled. "Yes, I think that he will look like quite the cutie in that one!" he exclaimed.

"We will buy it." Mrs. Higurashi told Terry, who took it to the register and rung it up.

"That'll be $207.67 ma'am." He told Mrs. Higurashi. (A/N: I am going to use the American currency, because I don't know how to convert into yen.)

Inuyasha wasn't used to their money system, so he didn't understand that Mrs. Higurashi was spending A LOT of money on him. "Thanks, Mrs. Higurashi." Inuyasha thanked her.

"No problem; you are such a sweet boy." Mrs. Higurashi said, and would have tweaked his ears, if he wasn't wearing the bandana to cover them up.

Inuyasha was still shaking when he got into the car, and arrived back home from the groping man.

Meanwhile... Kagome, Eri, Ayumi, and Yuka were at the mall trying on dresses. Ayumi, Yuka, and Eri had actually had theirs picked and bought, they were just waiting on Kagome.

"Come on, hurry up, Kagome!" Ayumi urged.

"Just a second!" Kagome called from the dressing room stall.

She adjusted the straps on the dress, and cautiously opened the door.

"How does it look?" Kagome asked and spun around for her friends to see.

"Great!" Eri exclaimed.

"You look like a movie star in that one!" Yuka chimed in.

Kagome frowned. "You have said that for EVERY dress that I have tried on!" Kagome whined.

"No, I am serious, you look amazing in that dress! I think you should buy it... RIGHT NOW!" Yuka added.

Ayumi looked at her watch. "It is 7:30, Kagome! We have to go home soon and eat dinner!" Eri pointed out.

Kagome looked at herself in the mirror. It was a long black dress that was satin, and had black sequins on the top. She twisted her lips, in thought. "I guess I will get it." Kagome decided.

At hearing that, Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi cheered, and helped her to the register. They had already bought their shoes and purses.

The saleslady rang it up. "That'll be $43.07." She told Kagome, who handed her the money.

When Kagome got back, Inuyasha was waiting; he was sitting in the chair. He seemed to be scared about something.

"What's wrong, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked him.

Inuyasha shook himself from his state. "Oh, nothing. Everything is fine." Inuyasha reassured her. 'She doesn't need to know.' Inuyasha decided.

"Have you eaten dinner yet?" Kagome asked.

"Yes, we ate an hour ago, but we saved some Oden for you." Inuyasha told her, and went to the kitchen and showed her the Oden.

Kagome thanked him, and microwaved it, and then she ate it.

When she finished, they all went to sleep.
