Ch. 37 Malled (like the word mauled)
I don't own Inuyasha, or the mall
I stepped out of the shower feeling all refreshed and well clean (ok ok so I'm not shampoo commercial material, so sue me) I wrapped a towel around me and stepped out into the hallway.
"Kagome you done yet?" I heard Sango yell from downstairs.
"Yeah, you can use the shower now" I yelled back as I went into my room to get dressed.
"Kagome your mom let me use hers I've been done for about twenty minutes now"
I blushed and ran down stairs (dressed) Sango was wearing a pink top of mine and a pair of hip huggers, "Sango Pink is definitely your color" I admired the way it stood out in contrast to her hair in eyes.
She blushed "arigato, ok let's go" she grabbed my hand and pulled me out to MY car and she got in and started it with MY keys, "Hey um where did you"
Sango didn't let me finish, she turned up the radio full blast and put the top down, "Mall!" she shouted over the booming speakers.
Then she drove, you'd think with the music and you know two teenage girls in a convertible with that top down we'd be going fast, and if this was a movie we would, but this was reality, and in reality Sango drives slow, very slow, get out and walk slow, old lady is yelling at you to "get your ass in gear and go" slow, I think, well I hope you get the picture.
When we finally (that being the keyword here) reached the mall it was almost noon, yes I'm serious.
Sango hopped out of the car and started walking towards the mall. "Wait up" I yelled as I jumped out of the car only to be yanked back in by my seatbelt. This time I undid the seatbelt before jumping out.
I ran up to Sango (whose idea of waiting up is to slow down a little then laugh at you when you get yanked back into the car by a demon seatbelt.
Sango and I walked into the great heavenly building happily, until I realized something, "Sango I didn't bring any money!" I began to hyperventilate, in big mall with no money! This was just wrong.
I felt Sango's hand on my back "chill Kagome, you'd think you would have forgotten you were single", I winced at the sound of the word, if I was single, than Inuyasha and I were really over. Then I remembered what that jackass had done, I am single.
"so what does being single got to do with anything?" I asked turning my attention to the matter at hand.
Sango gave me a dry look, "you really did come from a small town didn't you?"
I nodded shyly.
She sighed "see it works like this when girls like us" she motioned to the two of us "are single than we can have the guys at our school buy us stuff, in the hopes that we will go out with them" she smile.
"Then how come when we go out all the other times we bought our own stuff?" I asked, I didn't count the times where Inuyasha had bought me stuff.
"That's because we were in a group with boys, some of the most hot headed boys in the school, and then it doesn't really work very well." Sango then pointed to all the teenage boys walking through the mall, "This place is a goldmine" I stared at Sango for a minute, 'this doesn't really seem like her, but if she says it's ok…'
Sango grabbed my hand and pulled me to the food court where she sat us down at a table in full view of all of the guys passing by.
She began joking and we giggled casually, but I couldn't help notice that Sango should not be an actress.
"Konichi wa Kagome" I turned around to see Hojo smiling at me, I smiled back in spite of the silly grin Sango was giving me.
"Hi Hojo" I patted the seat next to me, 'this ought to make Inuyasha jealous' I thought then I nearly frowned, 'Inuyasha's not here, he's not mine, and I don't want to make him jealous' I thought to myself as Sango greeted Hojo.
"May I offer you ladies lunch?" he asked in a gentlemanly like way, I blushed and nodded.
As he left to go grab us lunch at one of the lil food thingies nearby I saw Sango's face drop, "Sango what's wrong?" I asked wondering what could possibly freak her out so much.
She simply pointed behind, "Sorry" she gave me a I-feel-so-sorry-for-you look as I turned around.
I looked and for a second didn't see anything particular until out of the crowds popped a silvery haired blur and a pervert following behind him.
I stood up , "Sango I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be right back" Sango nodded.
I began to move but I wasn't fast enough, Inuyasha's hand came down on my shoulder.
I turned to him and gave him an angry look, "Inuyasha go away" I said as coldly as possible.
Sango stood up and grabbed Miroku by the shoulder, "Um we should be going now, I'll see you in a few minutes" she added to me.
"No Kagome listen to me" he put his other hand on my shoulder, the action was very comforting, I wanted to fall into his embrace, and just forget everything that happened last night. But I wouldn't I'm not going back to a two-timer.
I pulled out of his grasp just as Hojo came back with the tray of food, he put down the tray, and looked at us, "Oh I'm sorry Kagome, I didn't know you were here with him" He turned to leave and I grabbed his shoulder on impulse.
"No it's ok I'm not here with him" I smiled at him, ignoring Inuyasha's growls.
He looked confused for a second " but aren't you two.." he pointed between us and I shook my head.
"No we're over" I felt a bit guilty as I saw Inuyasha's face fall, he looked hurt, but I quickly got over it, he hurt me much more.
"Oh" Hojo looked surprised.
"Um Hojo would you like to go to the movies with me tonight?" I asked hoping Inuyasha would understand that we were over for good.
"Hold on you can't-"
"sit" I silenced him to the floor, and smiled at Hojo.
"Sure, I'll pick you up around 7?" I nodded at him and waved, "see ya then" and I ran to where Sango and Miroku had been watching.
They both had blank faces.
Finally Sango managed to speak, "Uh what happened"
I smiled coyly, "I got a date"
She gave me a non-approving look "Honey haven't you been hurt enough?"
"No um a date with Hojo"
Miroku eyes widened in shock, "but Kagome, he didn't, he wasn't , I mean argh, just let him explain" Miroku gave me a sad look.
I felt tears rim my eyes, "Miroku I don't want him to explain, I don't want to get hurt again I just want to be over it" oh how badly I wished there was a reasonable explanation for this but I knew that there wasn't, I mean I seem to have bad taste in guys, I shivered as I remembered my last boyfriend.
A/N Ok I am so sorry but I got grounded from the computer and I'm doing this while their sleeping, tee hee
Oh yeah this will end at the end of the school year (the peoples in my story not ours) and um I will make a sequel but it will be next year when they go to college, so if you want this to end just ignore the sequel and keep your peace (I came up with a good plot for the sequel but I haven't even got to this one's yet lol)
Oh yeah want to see what happens when I have no computer to pour my stupidity into, well it all ends up outside
