~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ {dream} "talking" 'thinking' Chapter 6

Kagome woke up to her alarm clock the next morning. "Stupid alarm ." She felt around on her table side and grabbed, something. She chucked whatever it was at the wall. It, unfortunately, was in a few million pieces. "Gah! Alarm clocks are evil!" Kagome, now awake, clearly grabbed the still ringing alarm clock and hurled it out the window.

*THUNK*! "Ow....."

Kagome quickly looked outside to see who she had accidentally "killed". "KOGA?!" 'What the heck is he doing here? Wait...today is Sunday.....my alarm clock was set....why? Why's Koga here? What's going on?'

Kagome quickly got changed. She slipped on some flares, light pink T, and jean jacket, just incase it happened to be cold outside, like last night.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/Downstairs.../\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

"Shush! Hide! She's coming!"

"Ow! That's my foot!"

Kagome walked down to the last step, but stopped when people popped out all over. "SURPRISE!"

"What? What's this for?" She looked around to see Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha, Sota, her mom, her grandpa, Hojo, and some other friends she'd met at school: Eri, Yuka, and Auymi(A/N: I think that's their names....).

Someone pushed her into the couch and everyone started to explain things to her.

"STOP! ONE AT A TIME!"

Everyone stopped talking. Ms. H was first to explain things clearly. "Well, since it was your birthday when we moved, I figured you had forgotten all about it. So I arranged for some of your school friends to come over today."

'So, that's why Koga was here! Oh......poor guy.........I hope he's okay.........' "So, what's with the surprise?"

"Well, I thought it would be best. But after being out so late, I feared you might not wake up soon enough. So I'll start out the gifts with this:" Kagome was handed an average sized box. She opened it and revealed, "A new alarm clock! Uh, thanks mom."

"Well, poor Koga came in here a bit ago with a rather large bump, and I knew it was you and your alarm clock tantrum."

"Uh, thanks." Sota put a small box in Kagome's lap. "Mom told me to give this to you." She unwrapped it and inside was a beautiful chain necklace with a diamond held in by a gold metal heart. "Thank you Sota!" She quick hugged him.

Sango approached her next. "Now this one is from us all." She handed her an envelope. Kagome opened it and inside was movie tickets, 4 of them.

"Alright! Now I can go see a movie, when a new one gets here...."

"But this one's from me," Inuyasha said plopping down on the couch next to her. He'd changed back to normal. Inuyasha handed Kagome a small box wrapped in gold foil wrapping paper. She opened it, and inside was a set of keys. Along with several key chains. One was: "I (heart) dogs" (heh heh...), another was: Princess, and another had lots of dangly things and a milky white jewel on the end.

"Thank you!" Kagome gave Inuyasha a hug.

"You don't even know what the keys are for, stupid."

"Uh, good point. What are they for?"

He pointed to the front. "Go see for yourself." Kagome quickly walked to the front driveway with everyone hot on their heels.

Outside was the silver Grand Prix from the night before. Kagome's jaw dropped 2 miles. "THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTNANKYOUTHANKYOU!" Kagome yelled giving him another hug. She pulled away and put her hands on her hips. "Why? You said you got it as a birthday present?"

"Now, did I say I got it for MY birthday?"

Kagome thought about it, "No. But why then?"

He just looked at her, staring deeply and trying to tell her a message that wasn't getting through. Slowly, he leaned down to her ear and whispered, "Because.....you're the only one that I trust."

'What? The - only one he trusted?' Kagome shook it off and walked to the driver-side and got it.

"Where are you going?" Sango asked walking to the passenger side and getting in.

"I don't know. Where ever I want."

Sango shook her head. "You're hopeless, but unfortunately me too."

They looked at each other in the car. "Shopping?"

"You read my...huh..mind?" Sango turned around at the same time Kagome did. "Why are you three coming?"

And there sat Miroku, Inuyasha and Koga.

"Uh, why did we come along? I forgot?" Koga said scratching his head.

"Oi......torture! Complete and total torture!" Inuyasha said giving Koga a bop on the head.

"Oh yea." Koga looked a little embarrassed.

"Be careful, Kagome. And here," her mom pulled out a credit card.

"WHOA! Me with this?"

"Take it, but please, be considerate?"

"Uh, sure! Thanks mom! Bye Sota! Bye grandpa!" Sota waved and slowly so did her grandpa.

Kagome looked down at the "sacred" plastic. 'Oooo. Platinum! *mental evil laugh, ready? BUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!*

"If you guys are coming, you have to do exactly as we please, go that?" Sango gave an evil glare to the 3 helpless guys in the back.

"Eep. Yes."

"Especially you!" She gave an even more threatening glare at Miroku.

"Yes Ma'am!" He saluted jokingly.

"Thada boy!" Sango reached back and patted him on the head. She sat back down.

Koga chimed in from the back seat, "Wow! Cool car, Kagome! Where'd you get it?"

Everyone gave a weird look at Koga, who sat there like a lost fool. "Is your memory THAT short term?" Kagome asked.

"Is what short termed? I don't remember." Koga really did sound like he didn't know.

"Your mental skills." Kagome said turning back around and starting the car.

"Yea? What are you saying? What's wrong with my mental skills?"

"GAH! SHUT UP! YOU'RE DRIVING ME INSANE!" Kagome yelled.

"Who's making my woman insane?! I'LL KILL THEM!!!!! NO WAY ANYONE'S DRIVING MY WOMAN INSANE!!!!!!!!" Instinctively, he held up a fist, like he really did want to kill someone. Then, Kagome remembered. 'The alarm clock...'

"Look, Koga, do you want me to take you home?"

"Yea. I'm not feeling so hot. My head hurts like someone hit me on the head with an alarm clock! I was - I - don't remember!"

"Where do you live?"

"It's - " he got a puzzled look on his face. "I - I don't know! What's going on?!"

"Settle down!" Sango made Kagome slam on the brakes. "HE'S GIVING ME A HEADACHE!!"

"Hey, you could warn us you're going to attempt to kill us!" Inuyasha yelled from the ground.

"Sorry!" There were horns honking, so Kagome kept going.

"Why don't you let me drive?" Inuyasha said poking his head up to the front seats.

"No! It's mine!" Kagome put a hand on his face and pushed him back into his seat.

"Fine. I didn't warn ya......." He crossed his arms and slunk down in the seat.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/at the mall/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

"Where to go first..." Sango said looking from left to right, up and down the mall.

"Mommy? Can I go to the arcade?"

o.0 , 0.o Kagome looked at Koga. 'Maybe that alarm clock really did do a number on his head.' "Uh, yes, go play at the arcade..............o.0?" Everyone stared blankly at Kagome. "What?"

"What the heck is wrong with him?" Inuyasha asked.

*inhales deeply*"Well, you see, this morning I was real mad when I woke u cause my alarm was going off, and so I threw something at the wall, unfortunately it wasn't the alarm clock, so I threw it out the window when I found it and boom. Ouch. Hit Koga in the head." *big breath*

Sango was first to laugh, the Miroku, slowly joined by Inuyasha. "Poor *sniff* guy!"

"I feel bad! Really, I do!" Miroku managed to get out.

"Yea, yea. Now let's get some shopping in before closing time?" Stores didn't close till 8, but at this rate...

Eventually they were walking down the store hallways, looking at them all to decide which one to go to first. "So, where does everyone want to go first?" Kagome asked. An arm was suddenly around her shoulders.

"Dunno. Where do you want to go?" Sango asked from Kagome's right.

"Where do you wanna go?" Kagome asked the Inuyasha that was now at her left.

"Dunno. Where do ya wanna go Miroku?" He asked across the girls.

"Dunno. But this is getting old!" He said putting an arm on Sango's shoulder. Surprisingly, she let him.

So, Kagome was stuck deciding. She just walked into any random store. Ironically, it was the Buckle.

"Good choice!!!!" Sango said going for the jeans.

Kagome stayed with shirt/sweatshirts. She glanced at the guys, who actually were managing to find something.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/after the Buckle/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Kagome walked out with 4 bags, Sango 5, and the guys, together, 1.

"You guys do NOT know how to shop!" Sango said swinging her bags around for the guys to carry.

"Wha- you carry them! They're yours anyway!" Miroku yelled.

"Here ya go!" Kagome shoved the bags at Inuyasha who took them unwantingly.

"Lazy wench!"

Too late. The girls had walked off and were too far away to argue. The guys sighed and caught up.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/several stores later/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

"Are you DONE yet?!" Inuyasha complained. He currently held....about 12 bags.

"I suppose. Its quarter after one. I guess lunch is next? Possibly?" Kagome looked at her watch (that magically appeared for now..)

"Good!" Miroku let the bags drop.

"Hey! If you don't want to carry them, take them to the car!"

"I would. If I had KEYS."

"Sango, would you mind go and finding Koga?"

"No prob. I'll see where he's gone off to." She took off the in the direction they had last seen Koga at.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/at the car/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

"I never will understand women.." Inuyasha mumbled putting his bags in the trunk.

"Hey!"

"Now, was I talking about particular ONE woman?" He said matter-of-factly.

"No."

"Hey! Guys!" The three turned around to see Sango running at them. "There's something MEGA wrong with Koga!"

"Klutzy Kagome here and her alarm clock tantrums......why'd ya have to go thwacking him on the head?" Inuyasha joked closing the trunk.

"It was an accident!"

"Are you sure?" Miroku added in on the joke.

"YES!"

"Alright, sheesh. So. What's wrong with him?" Miroku asked.

Sango stood there with a grin on her face a mile wide. "You gotta come see!"
