Kagome's Wish

Chapter Eleven- The Drive To The Mall

By: inuyashasgirl789

Kagome lightly flickered her eyes open and then squinted her eyes into slits when the brightness of her room caused her temples to pound. Scratching her nose annoyingly, she tried opening one of her eyes again and noticed that sunlight was filtering in through her open window.

She closed her eyes once again as a light breeze waft in through the window and cooled her heated body. Yawning loudly, she stretched her hands high above her head and then relaxed again, letting her hands drop down onto her lap.

Last night's events suddenly flashed through her mind and first, a grimace past her face than relaxed to a light smile. 'Oh right...Naraku had been...err...harassing me yesterday...and then after...Inuyasha...and I...'

Her thoughts trailed off and she blushed faintly. That's right! They had been in that lake...and she had recalled all her lost memories...

Kagome tried to stop the smile from appearing on her features, but just couldn't keep in the temptation and smiled pleasantly. She looked over at the kitty cat at the end of her bed and reached out for it, pulling it in for a hug.

"Inuyasha had given this to me..." She blushed again and started to wonder why she always blushed when Inuyasha was the subject. "I can't deny I don't like him---" Kagome said to herself and looked out the window at the blue sky. "---But is it infatuation?"

Kagome watched the birds sing outside her window and sighed contently. "Its Saturday...I'll forget about Naraku and have fun today. Yup!"

As if by cue, the phone on the side of her bed began to ring shrilly and Kagome glanced at it, then at her clock. The clock stated that it was 10:40am.

The girl grunted as she leaned over and reached out her fingers, trying to grab her phone while her leg muscles refused to move. She pushed the phone off of her table and she groaned before groaning again as she got out of bed to pick it up.

"Moshi moshi?"

"Kagomeeeee!!!" a voice across the line shrieked happily.

"Yes Sango?" Kagome replied, a faintly annoyed look on her face.

"It's Saturday!

"Yes I figured that out."

"It's sunny!"

"Yes I think I figured that out too."

"It's a beautiful day unlike the rainy day yesterday!"

"Just skip to the point," Kagome demanded, not interested in how "gorgeous" the day was.

"Let's go shopping?" Sango asked, feeling giddy.

"Why?"

"Umm..." was Sango's oh-so-intelligent reply.

"Is it because you want me to get my mind off of what happened yesterday? Well look, I'm not THAT disturbed by what happened. I mean, sure it was bad right afterwards he slapped me..." Kagome paused to lift a hand gingerly to her cheek. "...but I'm totally fine with it now. At least if I don't get to see Naraku."

"That's very good Kagome. Very good that you're not bothered by it, soo~o~o~ooo LET'S GO SHOPPING!" Sango's voice squealed happily over the line.

"-.-* Fine Sango, fine. You're coming straight away right? Pick me up in twenty minutes. Sayonara Sango!" Kagome said hurriedly and clicked the "end call" button.

"Wait Kagome! Mir--" was Sango's voice shouting from the phone before Kagome had pressed the button and laid it gently on her covers.

The girl sighed from slight fatigue once again before practically jumping off her bed and landing in front of the mirror.

"YES Kagome! You shall FORGET everything that happened yesterday and you'll be a new girl today!" Kagome shouted to her image before smiling and pumping her fists in the air, looking at her pajama-clad self in the mirror.

"Now I better get changed..."

*~*~*

A car screeched in front of the Kagome's house and the two male passengers inside the car were thankful for the invention of seat-belts, otherwise they would have went squealing like girls through the window and flown far enough to beat the Olympics javelin record throw.

Miroku blew out a sigh of relief at their short stop and lightly rubbed his hands over his beating heart. "Sango. I shall never get use to your mom's driving," he whispered to the ear of the girl sitting next to him, who she in turn, blushed brightly at the close distance between his lips and her ear.

Inuyasha was lightly swaying his head side to side in the front passenger seat with swirls as his eyes before he stuck his head out the window and barfed on the street pavement.

"Ewww~w~www~www!!!" everyone in the car chanted when they heard the "noise" of Inuyasha throwing up.

"I hope you didn't blow chunks on the side of my car," Mrs. Hiroyuki seriously warned and a rather aggravated "Mommmm~!!! That's NASTY!!!" was replied from an equally frustrated Sango.

Mrs. Hiroyuki smiled at her daughter before hearing someone talk at the front of Kagome's house. Turning her head, she saw Kagome walk down her pathwalk, smiling lightly at everyone before her smile fluttered a bit when she saw Miroku and Inuyasha, not expecting them to be there.

Sango leaned out the window and exclaimed, "Oh my gosh Kagome! You look so pretty! Its just a shopping trip! Don't need to dress so nice, or maybbee~~ Its cause Inu--"

Kagome was in front of Sango in a blink of an eye with a deadly and pain- promising look on her face. "What did you sayyy~~??"

Sango squeaked and moved her head back into the car, laughing nervously and saying something about too much chocolate cake. "I said, pretty! Yea! Really pretty! Righttt~~ Miroku? *nudge nudge*" Sango poked Miroku's in the ribs and the boy in turn took in a sharp breath before answering, "Yea. Real pretty Kagome. Yup yup! Righttt~~ Inuyasha?"

No answer.

"Inuyasha? Why are you sticking your head out the window?" Kagome asked curiously while resisting the urge to blush at just the sight of him.

~'Jeez girl, don't act like you're in love'~

"I'm--erg--sick..." was Inuyasha's reply before he retracted his head in, a pale tint to his cheeks.

But of course...

His pale tint was replaced with a very healthy red tint when he glimpsed a look at Kagome. ~'She gives a new meaning to a DROP DEAD GORGEOUS KNOCK- OUT'~

Noticing the look Inuyasha was giving her, and not to mention the tiny little stare from Miroku once in a while from the corner of his eye, it was not to mention, just a tad bit disturbing.

"I think...I'll...go change..." Kagome said and giggled nervously.

"NO Kagome. Its really pretty--" Sango used a frying pan on Miroku's head when he started catcalling there. "--And it suits you perfectly."

"Honto? " Kagome mumbled and looked at the outfit she had chosen. It was rather simple really.

Just a white sleeve-less plain dress which ended quite short, but decent enough she guessed. She wore the faintest amount of makeup; light pink eyeshadow and lip gloss and to top the outfit off, Kagome had just worn white boots with a pink trailing up the side. Her hair was tied in a standard ponytail with a white ribbon.

"You sure its not too inappropriate?" Kagome asked while Sango opened their car door for her, dragging the girl in. "I needed to do my laundry and all my other clothes were dirty and this seemed to be the only one that was okay. Unless you wanted me to dress in a snow suit...then I could have worn that..."

"No. You'd get too much unwanted attention if you walk around in a mall in a snow suit on a sunny day like this," Sango chuckled as Kagome buckled up for the undoubtably, WILD car ride.

"*gulp* I'm ready," Kagome said while one hand was clenched in her dress, telling herself she'll be alive to tell her grandchildren about her best friend's mom's nutzy driving.

Inuyasha grabbed a HUGE paper bag and closed the window, knowing that he should have NEVER EVER taken ANOTHER car ride from Sango's mom. That lady was crazy...no offense to Sango...but she's CRAZY.

The car jerked wildly and Kagome could find herself screaming along with some cat that was happening to be lounging in the middle of the road and Mrs. Hiroyuki nearly turned it into meow chow. Speeding down the road, and probably breaking every single road law in the world, Miroku latched onto Sango so tightly that she nearly burst, when Sango's mom took a wild turn which would have made any other car do a three-eighty and crash into a brick wall.

"I WANT HUGGYYYY~~!!!!" Miroku screamed and everyone's eyes turned to give him a look before Inuyasha started laughing hysterically and pointing at Miroku like he was a pink elephant on display.

"HAHAHA! HUGGY! HAHAHAHAHA! YOU CONFESSED! IN FRONT OF SANGO! HAHA---" Inuyasha's laughing fit was cut short when Mrs. Hiroyuki sped down a steep hill like a crazy wacko and he had to stuff his face back into the paper bag.

"Who's Huggy?" Sango asked curiously, probably not even taking notice of the wild drop they were still in.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" was Miroku's intelligable reply when Sango's mom narrowly missed some trash cans and swerved into another wide street, still going at an insanely fast speed.

"Whew. At least I'm safe..." Miroku said and decided that he would never mention his teddy bear EVER again in front of Sango. NEVER.

"EEEEEEEEP! ITS A ONE WAY STREEEEETTTTTTTTT!" Kagome screamed with big eyes, watching the sign "do not enter" pass by in a whirl.

"So what if its a one way street?" Inuyasha asked, taking his head away from the paper bag. "Its not like we're going the wrong way."

"THATS EXACTLY IT! WE ARE GOING THE WRONG WAY! MRS. HIROYUKI! YOU'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY! WRONG WAYYYYY! TURN BACKKKKK!" Kagome screamed like a crazed lunatic, waving her hands frantically in the air while Inuyasha stuffed his face back into the paper bag, wondering how he was going to stay alive.

"No I'm not going the wrong way dear!" Mrs. Hiroyuki answered Kagome. "It's all those other dumb people in this world who are!"

"What's REALLY wrong with her?" Sango asked Miroku indicating Kagome. "Kagome seems so..scared?"

"I don't know about Kagome, but I know what's scaring MEEEE!!!" Miroku squealed and hung onto Sango like a leech when he saw a car in front of Sango's mom's car. "We're gonna COLLIDE! HOLY HUGGY BEAR! I'M GOING TO DIE!"

"O.o Eh?" Sango answered and blinked while looking at the car in front of her and screamed, scared, for once. "MOVE MOM! MOVE! WE'RE GOING TO COLLIDE!"

"No we're not Sango honey," Mrs. Hiroyuki answered REALLY calmly and as if by cue, the other car ran off the road, screaming its horns at her while Sango leaned out over Kagome to the open window and gave "the" finger to the driver who was giving "the" finger back.

"Drive in the right direction ya moron!" Sango screamed and this caused Inuyasha to stick his head out once again and give Sango an "are you an earthling?" look, complete with narrow eyes.

Kagome had fainted in her seat while Miroku was sobbing in Sango's lap. "What's wrong with you guys, eh?" Inuyasha asked. "The driving is not THAT bad is it? Like not SO bad? Eh heh heh?"

~'Of course I'll never ride in this car again...mm hmm!'~

"'Not THAT bad' is an UNDERSTATEMENT!" Miroku squealed and hung onto Sango for dear life while Kagome was still knocked out. "You had your head stuck in that plastic bag! Did you know we nearly crashed into another car!? If that car hadn't driven off the road, we would have---"

"Oh shuddup!" Inuyasha growled and wondered if he should throw his throw-up- filled paper bag at Miroku. ~'Naw. Poor dude might die from shock.'~ Inuyasha thought and imagined the ghastly image of Miroku covered in throw up while smirking evilly.

"I know what you're thinking Inuyasha! Don't you DARE throw THAT at me!" Miroku warned and gave his best friend the "no problems from you equals no killing from me" look.

Inuyasha grumbled some indecent stuff before they went into a screeching, yet oh-so-perfectly-perfect stop in front of a gigantic indoor mall.

"Whew dears. We're here!" Mrs. Hiroyuki smiled and looked at her passengers. "Umm...Inuyasha are you okay?" she asked when she noticed the extremely green tint to his face.

"Yea...its just the sudden stomach-jolting stop caused me to want to---" Inuyasha didn't finish his sentence before he quickly rushed out of the car, his cheeks puffed out (you know why), trying to find the nearest trash can.

"Yippee, we're here!" Sango squealed happily, actually, was the ONLY one who squealed happily.

Kagome was moaning in her spot, Miroku was sniffling pathetically in her lap and Inuyasha had rushed out for some personal matter. "Are you all okay? I mean...it was just only a twenty minute car trip...guys? Guys!?"

There were absolutely no replies except for sniffling and moaning and distant throwing up noises.

Mrs. Hiroyuki turned her head to look at her daughter, confused. "What's wrong with your friends, Sango?"

"No idea"
