===============================================
The bell rang, signaling the end of the school day. Students stuffed their things into their bags and swarmed out in large crowds. Sango, Rin, Miroku, Sesshoumaru, Inuyasha, Kagome, Kouga, Ayame, Jakotsu, and Bankotsu met outside in the student parking lot, crowding around the cars.
"So where are we going to find costumes?" Bankotsu asked, looking around at the other teenagers.
"I know a few places. First lets get something to eat though. Pizza anyone?" Sango asked. Everyone agreed and piled into the available vehicles; Kagome and Inuyasha crowded into the Jeep with Sesshoumaru and Rin, Kouga and Ayame got into Miroku's parents' car with him and Sango, and Jakotsu and Bankotsu got into Bankotsu's pride and joy: his black convertible.
The teenagers quickly reached the new pizza place, staking their claim on a couple of booths towards the back. Of course Sesshoumaru sat by Rin, Miroku by Sango, Inuyasha by Kagome, Bankotsu by Jakotsu, and Kouga by Ayame.
The waitress took their orders and went off to the kitchen, leaving the teens to discuss what costumes they were going to choose.
"So, any suggestions for themes?" Jakotsu asked, moving into Bankotsu's lap and making himself comfortable.
"We could do medieval stuff; ya know, knights in shining armor, princesses, princes, that kinda thing." Sango told her idea from class.
Jakotsu giggled. "Ban-kun can be my knight in shining armor!"
Bankotsu replied, with a bit of a smirk. "Then you get to be my princess. God knows you're feminine enough to play the part."
"Hey! I can be manly!" Jakotsu crossed his arms over his chest, pouting. His boyfriend chuckled and hugged him.
"I'm sure you can koibito."
"Medieval junk is a pretty good idea, but I bet someone else is already going to do that. We need something really original." Inuyasha spoke up, nodding once.
"Yeah, like... um... hm..." Kagome frowned a bit in thought, wracking her brain for an idea.
"We could go as anime characters." Ayame suggested.
"Nah, I don't think Sess and Inuyasha watch anime." Miroku said, earning mutters of 'yeah' from said silver-haired teenagers.
"Okay, so anime is out of the question. How about things from horror movies?" Kouga was next to speak.
"That. is lame." Inuyasha said, reaching over the table to whack Kouga. His action earned a hiss from Ayame, and he quickly withdrew his hand. "Eek, scary lady. oo;;"
"We could... go as famous couples..." Sesshoumaru said, his arm snaking around Rin's shoulders. Kagome smacked him upside the head with a plastic napkin dispenser.
"No. You just wanna do that so everyone'll think you and my sister are a couple." She said in a low voice, glaring.
"Who says we aren't?" Rin said softly, smiling a little and blushing. Sesshoumaru grinned at Rin, then Kagome.
"You heard her. We're a couple. So HA!" The older, silver-haired teenager stuck his tongue out at Kagome. Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
"You are SO immature Sess!"
"Oh Inuyasha, the village called. They're missing their IDIOT!" He glared at his younger half-brother, fixing to chuck the pepper shaker at his head.
"Hey, that's it!" Miroku shouted, standing quickly. "We can all go as people from the feudal era of Japan!"
"Yeah! That'd be SO COOL! And it's original too!" Jakotsu said happily.
"I love it!" Sango leapt up and promptly kissed her boyfriend, arms thrown loosely about his shoulders.
"I know just where to get that type of costume too!" Kagome seemed just as excited as the rest of them.
The waitress arrived with the pizzas just then, and the 5 couples dug in, talking excitedly about their costumes.
~*~
After eating, the bill was split between Sesshoumaru, Miroku, and Kouga, and they piled into the vehicles again. With the Jeep in the lead, Kagome giving directions, they pulled up in the parking lot of a small costume shop near the edge of town.
Inside, it was pretty nice; there was rough carpet on the floor, the lights were bright, and the salespeople friendly. Kimono, yukata, haori and hakama; all hung on racks crowded inside the small buildings. There were fancy obi folded neatly on tables and they also stocked other kimono accessories. And in the back were plastic swords and such, seeing as Halloween was coming up.
The girls and Jakotsu all dragged off their respective guy to find the perfect costumes.
"Ohhh what do you think of this one?" Jakotsu oohed and ahhed over a pale pinkish, short kimono with long sleeves and a green leaf design. There was nicely made armor that went on underneath it.
"I like it. I think it'd look good on you." Bankotsu said, holding the kimono up to his boyfriend's slender frame. "Perfect."
"And I know just which one you should wear!" The feminine boy grabbed a white haori/hakama set with blue over the shoulder of the haori off a rack and stuffed it into Bankotsu's arms. Blue and white swirled, one-shouldered armor and a plastic halberd followed. Jakotsu also picked a neat toy sword to go with his outfit; one that had several blades attached by pins so it extended.
~*~
Sango browsed through racks of kimono, muttering about having been scared away from dresses by certain perverts. Miroku followed, grinning sheepishly at her mutterings.
"Aha!" Miroku found a costume hanging on a rack; it was a set of very realistic looking black and purple monk's robes that came with geta and a cool gold-painted staff. "Sango dearest, I've chosen my costume!"
She arched an eyebrow at the monk robes. "A monk? You? Pah... Whatever."
"Don't you like it dearest Sango?"
"I'm sure it'd look good on you, you're just a little too... immoral to be a monk don't you think?" Sango blinked.
"Why Sango, I'm offended!" He faked a pout, eyes sparkling with mischief.
"Okay okay monk-boy." She smiled and shook her head, flipping through different kimono.
"Oh Sango-dearest!" Miroku grinned, holding up something in front of her. "I know what you should wear!" It was a skin-tight, black bodysuit with pink armor and a pink sash.
"Hey, at least it ain't a skirt." Sango took the demon slayer outfit from her boyfriend and chose a giant plastic boomerang to go with it.
~*~
Kagome skipped through the store happily, having chosen a pale pink kimono with a flower pattern and a darker pink obi. Inuyasha followed, grumbling.
"Ohhh Inuyasha! I like this!" She took out a dark blue haori/hakama set and held it up to her boyfriend.
"No, blue ain't my color."
"Oh fine." She put it back and continued her search. "If blue isn't your color, what IS your color?"
"I dunno, I like red I guess."
Kagome immediately yanked a red haori/hakama set off a rack and held it out. The pants were billowy and gathered at the ankles and the haori had large sleeves with black thread around the hem. It came with a white under-robe.
"I guess I can live with that." He said, shrugging and taking the offered costume.
"And you need some accessories!" Kagome grinned and skipped off again. 10 minutes later, Kagome had found a purple bead and fang necklace and plastic sword to go with it.
Inuyasha's dog ears twitched a bit as she slipped the rosary over his head and handed him the sword.
"You're gonna look SO cyuuute!" She giggled, obviously having the time of her life.
'Note to self: keep Kagome away from the sugar...'
~*~
Kouga and Ayame wandered the store aimlessly, looking at racks of kimono and yukata, not seeing anything.
"I think we should pick something matching." Ayame suggested, putting back yet another kimono.
"Sure Ayame-chan." He agreed, looking at things hanging on the wall. Then something caught his eye. It was a set of women's form-fitting armor, silver with a red breast plate and a white fur skirt and cape.
Kouga imagined his girlfriend in the outfit, with her reddish-brown hair in pigtails and a purple flower stuck behind her ear.
He took the costume off the wall and held it up to her body. "You'd look perfect in this." He said with a loving smile on his face.
Ayame blushed a bit and took it. "You really think so?"
"I don't think so; I KNOW so."
"Flatterer..." Ayame giggled at his compliments and looked up at the wall the outfit had hung on. Near it was another set of armor- man's armor with brown fur on the shoulders and a brown fur wrap and leg warmers. It also had a matching headband.
"If I'm going to wear this, you're going to wear THIS." Ayame smiled as she took down the brown fur costume and handed it to him.
He chuckled. "Looks like we're going as a couple of wolf-warriors." He took two plastic katana from a discount bin and handed one to his girlfriend.
"Perfect."
"Yes, perfect."
~*~
Sesshoumaru browsed the shelves, more intent on finding something for Rin to wear, than for him.
He looked through several fine kimono, all brightly colored and made of nice materials. None of them seemed to compliment her natural beauty though.
He took a lovely violet-blue kimono off a rack and held it up to Rin's body, looking her over thoroughly. 'No, its too dark...' He shook his head and put it back.
"Shouldn't you be looking for something for yourself, Sess?" She asked, face heating up as he took a good look at her.
"I want to make sure you get the perfect kimono though. It has to really compliment your beauty. Then I'll find something for me."
She smiled and stood on her tiptoes, planting a small kiss on his cheek. "You're so sweet..."
He grinned. "Aren't I though?" She giggled and went off to look through more clothes.
Sess checked most of the store and was about to give up on finding that perfect kimono, when something caught his eye. It was a flowing, white silk kimono with a pattern of pale pale pink sakura blossoms. It was delicately embroidered with silver thread and had a shiny silver obi.
'It looks like something... an important Lady would wear...' He thought to himself, taking it off the rack. 'Its beautiful, just like Rin...'
"Rin!"
"Hai?" She stopped what she was doing and stepped closer to him. He held the kimono to her body and looked her over once more. Rin could feel her face heating up again.
"I love it..." He whispered, gazing into those brown eyes he so loved. "Wear this one..."
"Hai, of course Sesshoumaru..." She whispered back, just as soft. She noticed his eyes were softer than normal, like a pale liquid amber.
He finally pulled his eyes away from her, needing to find a costume for himself.
"What do you think of this one Sess?" She held up a set of royal-looking garments; the haori was snow white with a red pattern on the shoulder and on the flowing sleeves, the hakama were billowy and bunched at the ankles, the belt was long and intricate, with a yellow and blue swirl design. It came with armor, but he decided the armor was too bulky and put it back. He did however, take the two swords. One was sheathed, and the other was longer, and of a different design with no sheath.
"It looks like something a youkai Lord would wear... I think it fits, don't you?" She asked, smiling warmly.
"Yes, its nice..." He took the garments from her, and, noticing the others were ready, went up to the counter to pay.
~*~
After paying for their costumes, the teenagers walked outside and down the sidewalk towards where they had parked.
Sesshoumaru's Jeep was parked a little further away than the others. A man walked out of a store nearby and shoved into Sess on his way to his own car. "Well, arent you gonna say sorry, punk?! You bumped into me!" The man growled out, shoving Sess again, on purpose this time.
Rin seemed enraged. "Hey! Dont you talk to my boyfriend that way!" She leapt forward, eyes ablaze, and landed a punch square in the man's jaw.
The foul, greasy man rubbed his jaw, growling. "Bitch! That fuckin hurt!"
"Good! It was supposed to!"
"Rin..." Sess started, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Stay outta this, okay?"
"Sess! Are you going to LET him talk to you like that?!"
"Let it go Rin." He spoke in a firm 'Obey me now' tone, a tone he had never used with her before.
"Yeah bitch! Listen to your boyfriend!" The man reeled back and was about to punch her in the face, but Sesshoumaru moved in front of her just in time, getting punched in the eye.
He staggered backwards into Rin, who fell onto her bottom with Sesshoumaru falling against her. The man sneered and left finally.
"Sess, are you okay?" She placed her arms around him, rubbing his back gently, not noticing where his head currently was...
His groans of pain soon became small, contented noises as he nuzzled his face into her chest.
Rin felt a hot blush coming to her face, though she didnt even try to stop him. He looked up into her eyes, a sheepish grin on his face. His eye didnt look too bad, she noticed.
"You pervert." She giggled. "I should slap you right about now."
"Hey, it'd be worth the pain." He muttered softly, voice slightly muffled by Rin's shirt.
"Ahem." A very angry-looking Kagome cleared her throat behind them. "Sess, get your face outta my sister's chest. Rin, slap him."
"Kagome! Geez, I'm not a little girl any more! You dont have to protect me!" Rin lifted Sesshoumaru from her chest and looked at him in a mock-scolding manner. "And you need to behave."
He grinned, though it was more like a smirk. "Yes, Rin."
"Lets just hurry and go." Inuyasha started grumpily. "You two can get a room later..."
"INUYASHA!" Kagome fumed.
"Fine, okay. Sess, dont. If you value your life, dont." He shook his head, climbing into the back seat of the Jeep. Kagome followed and Sess and Rin sat up front.
Finally, the three vehicles left for home.
