I'm so sorry for delaying this chapter! We actually had our internet
disconnected for a little while, but all is fine now. I just can't wait for
this trimester to be over! Ugh... exams... Well, I hope that everyone
enjoys this chapter!
Disclaimer: If you seriously thought that I owned Inu-Yasha, then you truly have some issues.
Kagome yawned as she awoke to a sunny morning.
'Where is everyone?' Kagome wondered as she looked around the room, and saw no sight of Sango.
'It's disturbingly quite...' Kagome thought as she got dressed.
The only noise that could be heard was Kagome's footsteps as she descended the stairs to see where everyone was. It was eerily quite, again as Kagome reached the bottom of the staircase. Kagome looked around and searched the house, but there was no sign of anyone in the household, herself excluded.
"That's weird... Where'd everyone go?" Kagome asked her cat/blob, Buyo.
"Mreow." Buyo answered as Kagome continued to stare at him, as if she expected an answer from the fat furry cat that she held with two hands and her arms extended from her body.
Kagome felt anger rise up inside of her the more that she thought about it.
"They didn't even bother to wake me up, or to tell me that they're leaving, let alone tell me where to. Ugh!" Kagome growled at Buyo, who fidgeted in her hands, then jumped from her grasp and fled the scene.
Kagome put her hands on her hips and accused, "I bet you ate them! It seems that you've gained weight!"
Buyo paused in his walking and glared back at her as if to say, "What are you talking about?! You've gone crazy! You're talking to a cat!" Buyo walked out of the room after giving Kagome a defiant, "Mreorrw" in response.
"Eh? What's this?" Kagome asked herself as she pulled a bright yellow post- it note off of her forehead. Kagome read the note (that had been there courtesy of Inu-Yasha's humor)-
"Kagome, I've taken everyone to the mall with me to buy clothes for them for your trip. Souta and Grandpa came, because they're too stubborn to stay home, and Souta wants to help pick out things for Inu-Yasha and Miroku to buy. Sorry for not waking you. Love always, Mom"
Kagome's eye twitched at reading the note. "Why didn't she take me with them?! I want to help Sango pick out clothes for the trip (and I want some new clothes too!) I wouldn't mind picking out clothes for Inu-Yasha and Miroku either... My taste would probably be better than Souta's... Knowing Mom, they won't be back from shopping for at least a few hours. I guess I'll just study. What am I thinking?! It's a break! I'm going to read manga!" Kagome decided and went back to the couch to read.
Meanwhile...
Souta squeezed Inu-Yasha's hand as he led him around through the store to the men's section of clothing. Inu-Yasha didn't look too happy as Souta held up a "My Neighbor, Totoro" T-shirt for Inu-Yasha to wear. Besides, the shirt would have even been too small for Souta to fit into. (Someone must have misplaced the shirt, and Souta thought it would be funny to see Inu- Yasha wear it.)
"Aww, you're no fun! You can't take a simple joke!" Souta whined as he set the strange shirt back where he had found it. "There's no way in the seven hells that I'm going to wear anything like that..." Inu-Yasha said simply and picked up a plain black shirt, then picked up a plain red one.
"Oi, which one am I supposed to get?" Inu-Yasha asked someone working there.
"You should probably get a medium or a large." the man answered.
Inu-Yasha had Souta help him find the given sizes, and then Souta helped Inu-Yasha find the right size of pants. (Inu-Yasha picked out a couple of baggy khaki cargo pants.)
"Inu-Yasha, I found the perfect pair of boxers for you!" Souta said happily as he held us a pair of purple polka dotted boxers.
Inu-Yasha's eyes widened, and then he sweat dropped. He was speechless.
"I like these ones; I have a pair at home!" Souta said, showing Inu-Yasha a pair of boxers with racecars on them.
Souta's smile dropped.
"What's wrong, Inu-Yasha? Don't you like them? I... I..." Souta said with tears welling up in his eyes, "I thought that... that... you'd like them... I picked them out myself..."
Inu-Yasha gave into the about to be crying brat and told him that he'd wear them.
"Yay!" Souta said, throwing his arms around Inu-Yasha.
He stopped hugging him and stepped back and crossed his arms with a cough.
"Umm... I guess that it is not cool for guys that are like you to hug other guys... Let's go find Mom!" Souta declared.
Mrs. Higurashi was with Sango, helping her pick out some outfits. First, she picked out a nice pair of black dressy pants with a formal top and shoes to go with it. He rest of the outfits that she bought for Sango, (instead of clothes that Mrs. Higurashi would prefer to wear), were like the clothes that Kagome wears (when she isn't wearing her school uniform, that is).
Shippou sat in the grocery cart, looking a bit annoyed at how long it had taken for Mrs. Higurashi and Sango to find clothes.
"I am sorry, Shippou! I almost forgot about you!" Mrs. Higurashi apologized to the kitsune.
(A/N: Hehehe... I almost forgot about Shippou too! This reminds me of the beginning of my last fanfic... I forgot about him! _ lol...)
Shippou seemed very happy as Mrs. Higurashi picked out various outfits from the children's department for him to wear. Though, it was rather hard to find western-style clothing that would fit the small, scrawny kitsune's body, (he's so chibi!). But, after some searching, and some... smaller children's sizes... they found things that would suit Shippou's body. It may fit his body, but not necessarily his tastes... He didn't have much of a choice, since finding things to fit him wasn't exactly easy and it narrowed down the selecting to the Japanese version of Power Rangers and Barney type of clothes. Shippou's personal favorite clothing that Mrs. Higurashi and Sango picked out for him was the My Neighbor, Totoro outfit; it included- My Neighbor Totoro shoes, shoelaces, socks, briefs, T-shirt, and pants. On every tag in the outfit mentioned, it said, "Official My Neighbor, Totoro merchandise".
"MOOOM!" Souta wailed as he ran towards her.
"Oh hello, Souta, Inu-Yasha." Mrs. Higurashi said.
"I couldn't find you! Inu-Yasha and I went all around the store looking for you!" Souta whined with tears in his eyes.
(A/N: You know the feeling like when you were a little kid, and you stopped to look at cereal or toys or something, then you couldn't find your mom, so you started freaking out. ^.^ I know that it happened to me a lot lol.)
"Aww, it is okay, Souta. I'm here," she said while hugging her son, "Oh and I picked this out for Inu-Yasha."
Mrs. Higurashi held out a black tuxedo.
"You actually expect for me to wear something like that-" Inu-Yasha was cut off by Sango and Souta jabbing him in the ribs with their elbows, (Shippou would've done likewise if he wasn't stuck in the cart).
Inu-Yasha growled and he changed his response to the tuxedo that was offered to him by Kagome and Souta's mom to, "I mean, thank you very much, Mrs. Higurashi. It's just what I wanted; I love it."
Upon finishing saying this in a monotone voice, he glared daggers at Sango and Souta.
"That is great!" Mrs. Higurashi said joyously, "I also got one for Miroku."
"Umm... Where IS Miroku?" Sango wondered aloud.
"I thought that he was with you." Mrs. Higurashi said to Inu-Yasha and her son with a dumbfounded look on her face.
"Well... I remember he was originally with us... but after we passed the magazine area, I don't know where he went." Souta said as he tried his best to remember what had happened accurately.
"Magazine area?" Mrs. Higurashi questioned.
"Uh-huh." Souta confirmed, nodding his head.
"Isn't he the perverted Buddhist monk?" Mrs. Higurashi asked to no one in particular.
"Yes." Sango, Inu-Yasha, and Shippou all answered at the same time, and the same morbid tone of voice.
"Let's go to the magazine area then." Mrs. Higurashi replied.
When they arrived, nobody was surprised at what they saw. They may not have been surprised, but that doesn't mean that they weren't disgusted or disturbed.
Miroku stood with a porno magazine in his left hand, and his right hand was hovering over an unsuspecting female, who was reading a teen magazine. Miroku was far too busy focusing on his target for his upcoming perverted act, so he didn't notice their presence. As always, a perverted grin crossed his features while doing this.
Inu-Yasha just stood with his arms crossed over his chest and shook his head disapprovingly to Miroku, as Sango and Mrs. Higurashi pulled Miroku away from the scene.
"I am sorry, ma'am." Souta apologized to the teen who had almost become the victim of a certain Buddhist monk's perverted act.
"Eh?" The girl asked with a puzzled look on her face.
'What was he apologizing for? What a weird little kid...' the girl thought.
Five minutes later...
Miroku sat in a chair with his arms crossed over his chest and his eyes closed. He had two bright red hand prints on his face, thanks to Sango and Mrs. Higurashi. He was also sporting small lumps on his head from Souta and Shippou, and numerous... larger lumps from Inu-Yasha.
Please don't misunderstand. My intentions were honorable." Miroku tried to explain.
"You told me that before, with the Water Goddess!" Sango exclaimed.
(A/N: What's sad is that Miroku actually did have honorable intentions back then... though he didn't this time ^_^. Go figure...)
"Oh I almost forgot about Grandpa..." Mrs. Higurashi said with a dazed look.
'That was... random...' Souta thought as they accompanied his mom to find Grandpa.
When they reached the medicine section, they found a not so happy looking grandpa, who had found the medicines needed to sell that his shrine gift shop and had been waiting for the past 30 minutes for his family to pick him up.
"Grandpa, we're so sorry for making you wait!" Mrs. Higurashi said with the regular smiling face.
"Humph..." he grouched.
Then they went together to the register to purchase the plethora of items that they had picked out throughout their trip.
When they arrived home, they found Kagome sitting on the couch, intent on some shoujo manga. She was so fixated that she did not notice them. Though, as she reached for another sip of her Boba Tea, she happened to glance up and see them.
"Oh, hi..." Kagome said as she again stared at the pages of her manga.
'I'm surprised that she has not bit off my head for sticking the post-it note (that Mrs. Higurashi had given me to put on Kagome's bedroom door) on Kagome's forehead...' Inu-Yasha thought astonished at the fact until...
"Inu-Yasha! Was it you that stuck Mom's post-it note on my forehead?!" Kagome growled at him, (after she had finished reading her manga, of course ^-^.)
"Keh! I don't know how it got there! It was probably Souta or someone else. You have no proof that it was me, wench!" Inu-Yasha yelled back in his defense.
Kagome rose from her position on the couch and exclaimed, "I know that it wasn't Sango, because she wouldn't do that. It couldn't have been Miroku, Shippou, Mom, Grandpa, or Souta, because my door was locked and my window was open. Grandpa and Mom would not (and cannot) climb that tree to get to my window, and Souta and Shippou are too small to do something like climb such a large tree. Miroku doesn't know our house a well as you, (since this is his first time to be here), so he would not have known to climb the tree to get to my window. If he did, it wouldn't be to stick a post-it note on my forehead; know him, it would be something perverted!"
"Hey... she does not know that..." Miroku mumbled to himself.
'Damn, she's quick... Oh well.' Inu-Yasha thought to himself and left the room.
'Hey, I wasn't done yelling at him!' Kagome thought, and then shrugged as she picked up another manga to read.
(A/N: I just finished making spaghetti for me and my little sister, and my little brother started talking in his sleep. He asked, "What are you making?" I sat there amazed, and then answered, "Spaghetti..." "Oh..." he replied, and then rolled over still sleeping. Weird...)
Shironu-chan's day went as following...
Shironu-chan flinched as she awoke to the sound of Consuelo squealing. Shironu-chan rose out of bed and went to the source of the noise. There stood Consuelo whining about Krista making fun of her, and Minxi and Stephanie sat quietly as Minxi told Stephanie the historically accurate version of Mu-lan.
"Thanks for waking me up so frickin' early..." Shironu-chan complained.
"Hey, it's not my fault. Consuelo was the one who woke me up also. Somehow, this is all ba-" like the day before, Krista was not able to finish saying, "this is all band's fault! For cryin' out loud!" because this time, she was rendered unconscious from a package of rancid smoked turkey hitting her upside the head.
No one paid attention to this event, as they continued to talk.
"It's not early! Look, Shironu-chan," Minxi said as she pulled out a Hello Kitty watch, "it's four PM!"
"Waking up at four PM is early for me, if I don't have school!" Shironu- chan said.
With a more enlightened tone, Shironu-chan said to herself, "Hey, I broke my record of sleeping in by 20 minutes!"
Consuelo rolled her eyes and replied, "You are too lazy!"
"Oh, Shironu-chan, Minxi woke up early to tranquilize everyone again." Minxi informed Shironu-chan in third person, as always.
"Thanks. Was there anything weird?" she asked.
"Well, no. Wait, were Naraku and Sesshoumaru sleeping so close together last night? I don't remember; I was too tired." Minxi said.
Shironu-chan blinked.
"Uh... no..." she said with a more than disturbed and disgusted look on her face, "I thought that they were on opposite sides of the room..."
"Eww..." Everyone remarked at the same time, some holding a hand over their mouth to keep from throwing up.
"Ugh... I'm going to check on them again and give everyone another round of tranquilizer darts." Shironu-chan stated.
"Minxi will come too!" she exclaimed as she pulled out tranquilizer darts out of nowhere.
As they walked to the room, Minxi asked, "Why did you have a closet full of evening gowns and a lot of girly make-up?"
"I used to be in beauty pageants!" Shironu-chan explained, but Minxi only laughed.
"You could have at least made up a lie that sounds possible!" Minxi said through laughs.
"URUSAI!" Shironu-chan said angrily as she pulled out a scented fan and hit Minxi.
"Hey... that's my scented fan from China..." Minxi grumbled unhappily.
"Fine." Shironu-chan said, giving her the fan back.
*Shironu-chan pulls out a large mallet and whacks Minxi*
"There. That wasn't your mallet. Happy?" Shironu-chan said while crossing her arms with a pleased look.
Minxi opened the door and they entered the room. They both tilted their head to the right at the sight that they saw, in utter confusion.
"Uh... Minxi... when you checked on them last night... wasn't it Sesshoumaru that was wearing the dress?" Shironu-chan asked her friend.
"Yeah..." Minxi replied, "But now... Naraku is wearing the dress... Strange..."
"I don't even WANT to know." Shironu-chan mumbled as they began to give everyone more tranquilizer darts.
Back to the Higurashi household...
"Arg! I forgot to get packed! The plane leaves tomorrow! Oh no!!!" Kagome exclaimed as she jumped up from reading manga on the couch.
"Mom! Will you help everyone else get packed for the trip, please?" Kagome called out.
"I already did. I also got all of your things packed. Oh, by the way, when we were at the mall, I bought a camera and film for your trip; I packed those for you also." Mrs. Higurashi replied.
"Thanks, Mom; you're a life saver!" Kagome said happily as her state of panic lowered.
Kagome decided to just take a bath, and then go to sleep so she wouldn't be too tired the next day, knowing that when she has something important, she can never sleep well the night before.
I hope that you liked this chapter! I worked on it when everyone had to take the exams that I was exempting. I would have had this chapter posted sooner, but out Internet was down again. Then I let my friend borrow the notebook that I write this in, and she forgot to give it back, so she had it for the weekend (we had Friday off).
Ugh... the new trimester is starting Monday and I am NOT looking forward to it, because I will have World History with the hardest teacher! Not to mention the Social Sciences have always been my poorest subject! I am going to be in tennis with Minxi this trimester! Even though neither of us knows how to play XD! Well, at least I got out of choir...
I tried to talk to the choir teacher and tell her that choir simply didn't interest me anymore, but she didn't understand that and seemed to think that you either hate choir, like choir, or love choir! She talked to me for 30 minutes somehow convincing me that I didn't want to leave. When I told my mom that I wanted to quit choir, she told me, "But, I love hearing your voice when you sing!" It's not like she can hear my individual voice in a choir of over 40 people... So I was depressed because the way I saw it, I had to stay in choir, even though I don't like it. But, the next day, I just went to my counselor and told them to switch me out of choir, because I already talked to the choir teacher, and she's okay with it. Okay, so I lied, but it was the only way! So, after school, I went and told the choir teacher that I already had my schedule changed, (I swear she's kowai when you say this stuff!)
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE REVIEW!
Remember, the more reviews that I receive; the sooner I will have the next chapter up. When you review, it lets me know that people are actually reading this fanfic, and I am not simply wasting my time. It also inspires me to post the next chapter when I get reviews. Of course, it makes my feel special :3!
~Shironu-chan (I am Sango)
Turby says, "Tuberculosis- It really hurts!"
Disclaimer: If you seriously thought that I owned Inu-Yasha, then you truly have some issues.

"Kagome, I've taken everyone to the mall with me to buy clothes for them for your trip. Souta and Grandpa came, because they're too stubborn to stay home, and Souta wants to help pick out things for Inu-Yasha and Miroku to buy. Sorry for not waking you. Love always, Mom"

Shironu-chan's day went as following...
Shironu-chan flinched as she awoke to the sound of Consuelo squealing. Shironu-chan rose out of bed and went to the source of the noise. There stood Consuelo whining about Krista making fun of her, and Minxi and Stephanie sat quietly as Minxi told Stephanie the historically accurate version of Mu-lan.
"Thanks for waking me up so frickin' early..." Shironu-chan complained.
"Hey, it's not my fault. Consuelo was the one who woke me up also. Somehow, this is all ba-" like the day before, Krista was not able to finish saying, "this is all band's fault! For cryin' out loud!" because this time, she was rendered unconscious from a package of rancid smoked turkey hitting her upside the head.
No one paid attention to this event, as they continued to talk.
"It's not early! Look, Shironu-chan," Minxi said as she pulled out a Hello Kitty watch, "it's four PM!"
"Waking up at four PM is early for me, if I don't have school!" Shironu- chan said.
With a more enlightened tone, Shironu-chan said to herself, "Hey, I broke my record of sleeping in by 20 minutes!"
Consuelo rolled her eyes and replied, "You are too lazy!"
"Oh, Shironu-chan, Minxi woke up early to tranquilize everyone again." Minxi informed Shironu-chan in third person, as always.
"Thanks. Was there anything weird?" she asked.
"Well, no. Wait, were Naraku and Sesshoumaru sleeping so close together last night? I don't remember; I was too tired." Minxi said.
Shironu-chan blinked.
"Uh... no..." she said with a more than disturbed and disgusted look on her face, "I thought that they were on opposite sides of the room..."
"Eww..." Everyone remarked at the same time, some holding a hand over their mouth to keep from throwing up.
"Ugh... I'm going to check on them again and give everyone another round of tranquilizer darts." Shironu-chan stated.
"Minxi will come too!" she exclaimed as she pulled out tranquilizer darts out of nowhere.
As they walked to the room, Minxi asked, "Why did you have a closet full of evening gowns and a lot of girly make-up?"
"I used to be in beauty pageants!" Shironu-chan explained, but Minxi only laughed.
"You could have at least made up a lie that sounds possible!" Minxi said through laughs.
"URUSAI!" Shironu-chan said angrily as she pulled out a scented fan and hit Minxi.
"Hey... that's my scented fan from China..." Minxi grumbled unhappily.
"Fine." Shironu-chan said, giving her the fan back.
*Shironu-chan pulls out a large mallet and whacks Minxi*
"There. That wasn't your mallet. Happy?" Shironu-chan said while crossing her arms with a pleased look.
Minxi opened the door and they entered the room. They both tilted their head to the right at the sight that they saw, in utter confusion.
"Uh... Minxi... when you checked on them last night... wasn't it Sesshoumaru that was wearing the dress?" Shironu-chan asked her friend.
"Yeah..." Minxi replied, "But now... Naraku is wearing the dress... Strange..."
"I don't even WANT to know." Shironu-chan mumbled as they began to give everyone more tranquilizer darts.
Back to the Higurashi household...
"Arg! I forgot to get packed! The plane leaves tomorrow! Oh no!!!" Kagome exclaimed as she jumped up from reading manga on the couch.
"Mom! Will you help everyone else get packed for the trip, please?" Kagome called out.
"I already did. I also got all of your things packed. Oh, by the way, when we were at the mall, I bought a camera and film for your trip; I packed those for you also." Mrs. Higurashi replied.
"Thanks, Mom; you're a life saver!" Kagome said happily as her state of panic lowered.
Kagome decided to just take a bath, and then go to sleep so she wouldn't be too tired the next day, knowing that when she has something important, she can never sleep well the night before.
I hope that you liked this chapter! I worked on it when everyone had to take the exams that I was exempting. I would have had this chapter posted sooner, but out Internet was down again. Then I let my friend borrow the notebook that I write this in, and she forgot to give it back, so she had it for the weekend (we had Friday off).
Ugh... the new trimester is starting Monday and I am NOT looking forward to it, because I will have World History with the hardest teacher! Not to mention the Social Sciences have always been my poorest subject! I am going to be in tennis with Minxi this trimester! Even though neither of us knows how to play XD! Well, at least I got out of choir...
I tried to talk to the choir teacher and tell her that choir simply didn't interest me anymore, but she didn't understand that and seemed to think that you either hate choir, like choir, or love choir! She talked to me for 30 minutes somehow convincing me that I didn't want to leave. When I told my mom that I wanted to quit choir, she told me, "But, I love hearing your voice when you sing!" It's not like she can hear my individual voice in a choir of over 40 people... So I was depressed because the way I saw it, I had to stay in choir, even though I don't like it. But, the next day, I just went to my counselor and told them to switch me out of choir, because I already talked to the choir teacher, and she's okay with it. Okay, so I lied, but it was the only way! So, after school, I went and told the choir teacher that I already had my schedule changed, (I swear she's kowai when you say this stuff!)

Remember, the more reviews that I receive; the sooner I will have the next chapter up. When you review, it lets me know that people are actually reading this fanfic, and I am not simply wasting my time. It also inspires me to post the next chapter when I get reviews. Of course, it makes my feel special :3!
