A/N: Ok, here's chapter 2 for all of you out there. Again, I ask that you
review. Judging by the response of the readers, I will put up Chapter 3.
Enjoy!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome dug through all the clothes in the house, trying to find something for Inuyasha to wear so they could go out and find him an appropriate out fit for the dance. Inuyasha was just sitting stubbornly on her bed.
She had finally found a pair of jeans and a shirt that would fit him. The jeans were an old pair her cousin had passed down to them so that maybe Souta could wear them one day, and the shirt was a light blue t-shirt with a yin-yang symbol on the front. She put them in his arms.
"Feh," he murmured, discarding the clothes on the floor.
"Put them on so we can get going," she coaxed, shoving the clothes back into his arms and pushing him into the bathroom.
When he finally emerged, he was tugging at the sleeves of the shirt. "This thing is too small," he complained.
Kagome laughed. "It's a t-shirt. The sleeves are supposed to be short. Now come on we're going."
She began to lead him back down the hall, but she stopped and ran into her brother's room. When she came out, she brandished a baseball cap and stuck it on Inuyasha's head. "I almost forgot you had ears!"
He growled and tugged on the sleeves of his shirt one more time before Kagome took his hand and led him out the front door.
Once they reached down town, Kagome made sure Inuyasha stayed far away from the busy streets, and skimmed the store signs for a place where they could get Inuyasha a nice outfit.
Meanwhile, Inuyasha was trying to adapt to the bustle of the city. It was annoyingly loud, and reminded him a lot like being in a battle. He couldn't help it when he went into a defensive position and growled every time somebody bumped him, or every time a car blasted its horn.
Finally Kagome stopped them in front of a food store. "I know we're supposed to be cloths shopping, but I'm getting kind of hungry. Let's eat here!" She pointed up at a large sign that read 'WACDONALD'S' and dragged Inuyasha inside.
She led them up to the counter, where a boy chewing gum droned, "Welcome to WacDonald's. May I take your order?" He leaned on the cash register lazily, and his nametag read "Hi! I'm Totero!"
"Two Wac-Burgers, please: the meal," she looked up at the nervous half- demon. "Better make one of those extra large." After the boy left to process the order, she turned to Inuyasha. "I need to wait here for the food. Will you go find an empty table for us to sit at?"
He grunted in response and set off to find a decent place to sit. It made him terribly uncomfortable to find that people stared at him while he wandered around. They were mostly staring at his long silvery hair. A few girls even giggled and waved flirtatiously, making him blush and hurry past.
When he finally found a table, It was against a wall, and only had one bench that would just barely fit both him and Kagome, so he sat there and waited patiently, glancing nervously at the table full of girls that were still giggling and looking at him.
"What's taking Kagome so long?" he wondered, starting to get fidgety. He grew even more worried when he found that the table of girls had gotten up and were making their way over to him. Eventually they were standing all around him, about four of them.
One was bold and squeezed into the seat next to Inuyasha, smiling at him. He shrunk back, and glanced around frantically for Kagome, only to find she was nowhere to be seen.
"Hi!" said the bold girl next to him. She scooted closer, and Inuyasha tried to scoot away but he discovered that he was running out of bench room. And then all of a sudden he was out of bench room. The girl began to snuggle up against his side. "I'm Maeko."
He laughed nervously, feeling a bit more claustrophobic as the other girls moved in a bit closer.
"I haven't seen you around here before," she said, twisting a lock of his hair around her finger. "Are you new?"
For whatever reason, Inuyasha couldn't manage to speak. He opened his mouth and let out a tangled "Uh....erm....arg....feh."
Maeko leaned too close for comfort and batted her eyelashes, snuggling into his chest. Smiling up at him, she whispered into his ear, "You're really cute."
Inuyasha had had enough—this girl was way too creepy. He leaped out of the bench, letting Maeko crash into the seat, and sending a few other girls reeling back and screeching. Ignoring the looks he was getting form other tables around the room, he ran in the opposite direction hoping to find Kagome.
Lucky for him, she was coming around the corner with a tray of food just as he was turning to get out. They collided, and he grabbed her shoulders to prevent her from falling over while she tried to hold the food on the tray.
"Inuyasha, what's the rush?"
"Um..." He glanced backwards. "I'm not hungry. We should leave."
She followed his gaze to see what was bugging him, only to find a table full of girls glaring back. Her eyes grew wide and she helped him scoop the food off of the tray. "Yeah, okay." They left in a rush.
They had taken their food and ate at a small outdoor food court farther down the street. Inuyasha never took his eyes to his burger, which he found surprisingly good.
Kagome watched him the entire time, finally mustering up enough courage to ask, "What happened between you and those girls back there?"
"Nothing," he mumbled.
"I don't think so. That one girl looked like she could have punched your nose in."
"They were just acting weird, that's all."
"You're not used to girls flirting with you, are you?"
Inuyasha stared at her with a look of disgust while Kagome tried to hide her jealousy with a grin. Personally, she was perfectly happy with the fact that Inuyasha didn't go and hit on every cute girl that walked by...unlike that letch Miroku.
Kagome got up and threw away the trash. "Come on, we still need to find you a suit."
"Alright, fine." He got up and let Kagome lead the way down the road, growling at the occasional person when they stared at his hair.

A/N: Well, there you have it. Chapter 2. Hope everyone liked it! I'm not sure if there are any girls out there who act like Maeko, but hey. I needed a creepy girl to add to the story. And this WacDonald's place... I did my research and found that a lot of anime and manga and other fanfic authors use it. I guess it's like instead of McDonald's. A copyright issue? I'm not entirely sure, but anyway! Please review! Thanks! :)
Beta Note: heh, this is probably one of the best chapters. I changed the name of the clerk because a) I didn't think 'Craig' was very Japanesey, and b) a lot of important people in my life are named that...so I tried to spell Totero, as in 'My Neighbor', but...^.~
