Chapter 11: A trip to the mall
Caution: Hiei will be OOC often in this chapter. I would like to say a HUGE thanks to all my reviewers. I'm almost
at 100! ^_________________^
Since it was Saturday at last, and Kagome had absolutely nothing to do, she called up Sango. "Hey Sango!
You busy today?" "Not that i know of, why?" Sango replied, curiosity in her voice. "I was thinking of going to the
mall. Maybe finding a way to get Sara, Sess, Hiei, and Kurama to come as well." "That would be a great idea! Oh,
did i tell you? Hiei still hasn't fixed his hair!" Kagome laughed at this, and shot back, "What about you? Your
hair's still green, if i remember right." "Um, uh, ur... so?" "Oh, i get it now... you two are keeping the colors
because-" "SHUT UP." Sango cut kagome off before she could go on. "Oh fine, how about I try to get ahold
of everyone?" "Sounds good to me." so Kagome called everyone up, managed to get them all to meet her
at Panera Bread, and go shopping.
~~at the mall~~
"Geez! took you all long enough to get here!" Kagome yelled at her friends, who had just arrived. She and
Sango had been waiting for about half an hour for them. "Well, the traffic was bad." Sara replied, grumbling
under her breath about Sess taking forever. "Well, before an all out war starts, how bout we get some food?"
"On you, right, Kagome?" Kurama asked, amusedly looking at her. Kagome grumbled something about greedy
boyfriends, but still bought the food. Luckily, her parents had given her the credit card, which had quite a bit
on it. "Well, since we're all stuffed," Kagome said, putting her card back into her wallet, "Let's start the
shopping spree!" All the girls' faces split into huge grins, and the guys groaned. Except for Hiei. Of course.
"Let's go to Hot Topic!" Sara suggested, before anyone could mention a 'normal' store. Unfortunately, they,
the girls at least, wanted to go to different stores. "Well... we could always split up." Sango murmured, not
realizing what she had said. "Alright! Let's go then, shall we?" Kagome latched onto Kurama and dragged
him off to Waldenbooks. Sara and Sesshomaru went to Hot Topic, and Sango and Hiei were just arguing
over where to go to. They finally decided on JCPenney. Sango went straight to the clothing department,
grabbed a bag for the try-ons, and picked out stuff for her and Hiei.
~~with kagome and Kurama~~
Which book to get, which book to get..." Kagome was debating over a Ranma 1/2 book or MARS book. Kurama
came up behind her and asked, "Why don't you just get both? I mean, you DO have that credit card." "Yeah, I
know, but my mom told me to make sure i have enough for the- oops. can't say yet." Kurama raised his eyebrows
at this. "What do you mean, 'can't say yet?" Kagome rapidly become flustered, and said, "Um, ah, I, eh, don't know
what you're talking about, Kurama..." "Of course. I spose I'll just have to torture you to find out then, hm?" "GAH!
anything but that!" It was too late for begging, however. Kurama was tickling her mercilessly. "AL- hahaha- RIGHT-
Hahaha- i'll-hahahahahahahaha- tell you- hahaha- if you-hahaha- STOP TICKLING ME!" Hearing this, he finally
stopped his 'torture'. "Mymomtoldmetosaveitforadressforthehomecomingdance." kagome said, as quietly and fast
as she could. Still, Kurama understood what she said. "Does that mean you're buying me clothes too?" He asked
her. "Does that mean you're going to go with me?" Kagome asked back. "Of course! who else would I be going
with?" "Alright, then yes, I'm buying your clothes too!" She responded, hugging him fiercely. He hugged her back,
noticing the amused eyes of one of the cashiers upon them. She broke away, quickly bought her book, and
dragged Kurama to Carson Pirie Scott's for dress and tux.
~~Sara and Sess~~
"Hey Sess, do you think this would look good on me?" Sara asked, holding a black, Victorian-looking dress up to
her body. "Hm, i would have to see it on you to say." She noticed the little twinkle in his eyes, and blushed oh-
so-slightly. The dressing room, after all, was just a room with a curtain in front of the door. She glared at him and
asked one of the people that worked there to keep him out of the room till she was ready. She went into the room,
changed, and waited to see if Sess would try to get in before she said she was ready. He did. Before serious
damage could be caused, she said, 'ready'. When she stepped out of the dressing room, Sess' mouth popped open
at the sight of her. "I take it I should get it?" She asked, seeing all eyes on her. Sess nodded, unable to speak.
She checked the price-tag, it was cheaper than she expected, 87 dollars even. She bought it, and informed Sess
that they need to find him clothes for homecoming as well. He looked at her, surprised. "Oh, didn't i tell you?
We're going to homecoming together!" "Why wasn't i informed of this sooner?" She glared at him. "After what
happened at your pool, you think I would let you get off so easy?"
^*^*^*flashback^*^*^*
His plan successful, he hugged her close, and murmured, "Revenge bites, doesn't it, dear?" Sara glared at
him, and asked, trying to keep the sadness out of her voice, "That was all just an act?" He looked at her, looked at
her eyes, and saw just a twinge of sadness there. So he was right about her liking him! He looked at her once
again, and said softly, "No, i wasn't acting about that." That said, he leaned in and kissed her passionately.
^*^*^*end^*^*^*
He sighed. "No, I guess you wouldn't." He sounded sad, but Sara knew, inside, he was happy she had
remembered. Sara asked where a good place for a suit would be, and he informed her to try Marshall Fields.
~~Hiei and Sango~~
"Sango. WHY are you making me try on these suits?" said a very annoyed Hiei. This was the tenth suit so far,
for crying out loud. Sango pouted, a very un-Sango-ish act. "Does this mean you don't want to come to
Homecoming with me?" Hiei was stunned. She actually wanted to go a dance with him? He fought the urge to
kiss her on the spot. "Sango, of course i'll go with you..." "Thank you, Hiei! You've just made my day!" Sango
yelled happily, and hugged him. Hiei was shocked at first, then gave a very tiny smile and hugged her back. Hiei
noticed that she had picked out a all-black suit, with a crimson tie that he thought would work well. He tried it on,
showed Sango, and she said, "Yep, that's definitely the one. It'll be perfect once we dye your hair back to
normal." "Well, Sango, i think it's your turn to try on clothes." "Oh yeah! I almost forgot..." She pulled a long dress
out of the bag. Walking into the stall, she tried it on, and came back out. Hiei almost fell over when he saw her.
The dress was a spaghetti strap, with a sheer scarf to wrap around her shoulders. The color was hard to
determine, for in one shade of light, it appeared a dark silver-blue, but in another shade, it looked to be crimson
shot through with black. It came down to just a little past her ankles, tickling them as she walked. "Perfect." Hiei
murmured softly. Sango brought both of their choices up to the cash register, and paid for them. Before returning
to the others, they went to a hair salon to get their hair back to normal. That done at last, they walked back to
Panera bread to wait for Kagome and the others.
~~Kagome and Kurama~~
Kagome was frustrated. She had found the perfect suit for Kurama, but he wouldn't try it on. She grumbled about
stubborn red-heads, and picked another suit. It was a dark blue, the color of the night sky at midnight with a full
moon. A silver tie adorned the neck, and kagome was about to prance around with joy when Kurama agreed to it.
While he was changing, kagome was looking for a dress that would match his suit. She spotted a deep emerald
color dress, which became almost black without light on it. She decided on this one to try on. Kurama nervously
stepped out of the dressing stall with his suit on. Kagome squealed with delight at the sight. The color she had
wisely chosen caused his hair and eyes to flair in contrast. The silver of the tie accentuated his eyes, somehow.
He looked expectantly at her for a opinion, and she responded, "You look better than ever." He blushed faintly,
and kagome walked by, giving him a kiss. "Keep it on for a little while. I want to see if my dress matches it." She
went in the stall, and came back out wearing the dress. The color matched his eyes, and the criss-cross straps
enhanced her shoulders. She walked over to Kurama, snapped him out of the daze he had fallen into upon seeing
her, grabbed his hand, and stood in front of the mirror with him. They matched perfectly. His suit matched her
eyes, while her dress did the same for him. "I think we found the best choices we could." Kagome and Kurama
murmured at the same time. Kagome bought the clothes, and they went back to Panera Bread, seeing Sango and
Hiei already there, began waiting for Sara and Sesshomaru.
~~Sara and Sess~~
"Well... if we wanted to match, you're gonna have to be all black." Sess nodded in agreement with her. "It's gonna
be pretty hard to fin the right height for you, though... big and tall is too large, but I don't think they have just a tall
section..." She looked around for one of the employees. "Excuse me, miss, but where could i find suits to match
his height?" Sara asked, nodding in Sess' direction. "Well, it depends on what style and color you want." Sara
showed her (the employee) the dress that was bought at Hot Topic. "Oh! I know the perfect match for that!" The
employee promptly dragged Sara and Sesshomaru over to one of the racks, and pulled out a suit blacker than the
Aether. (a/n: also known as the void, empty space, whatever...-_-') It was one of the newer suits, but it looked like
it would be absolutely perfect for Sara's gothic dress. They both went in to a changing stall to see if they matched
once changed. Sara came out first, and was tapping her foot impatiently, waiting for Sess. When he came out, the
employee dropped over in a dead faint, swirly eyes included. @_@. His hair was like spun silver on the dark cloth,
and his eyes were 24 karat gold. Since they both were kind of pale, they looked like a pair of ghosts in mourning.
Sara dragged him up to the counter, paid for the suit, and began their way back to Panera Bread.
~~Back at Panera Bread~~
"Geez! It took y'all long enough!" Kagome yelled at Sara. "Well sooooooooorry! We had a hell of a time trying to
find clothes for Mr. Tall Guy over there!" Suddenly, everyone noticed a mysterious quiet had fallen over the group.
They all looked to the entrance of the restaurant, and there stood none other than Kikyo. The group of mall-goers
stood up and walked past Kikyo. Sara couldn't resist the opportunity, since Kikyo had her knees locked, she
smoothly brought up her foot, kicked the juncture behind Kikyo's kneecap, and snickered as Kikyo fell to floor. The
others acted as if nothing had happened, and made sure to walk on top of the fallen bitch.
