Kagome stood in front of the mirror, examining herself. 'Not bad' she
couldn't help but think.
Her body was lean and athletic from all the running, training and fighting in the feudal era, and her hair, from lack of time to get haircuts, now fell in soft ebony waves to her waist. Her skin was ivory colored and flawless and her eyes were a clear, deep blue-gray.
'If only Inuyasha saw me this way.' She thought sadly. 'He only thinks of me as a useless shard-detector' *Oh ho ho Kagome, if only you knew.*
"Kagome honey!" came her mother's voice from downstairs. "It's time to go!"
Kagome laughed, a little bitterly. 'It's silly to be going shopping for a prom dress. I'm not in school enough for anyone to ask me to go with them. Also its Wednesday, the dance is on Friday. Everyone will already have dates.'
Suddenly, Kagome heard a soft, but familiar tapping on the window.
She turned to see Inuyasha's face peering through the window.
"Wench where are you going?" He called through the closed window.
Kagome walked over and opened the window for him.
"I'm going out to buy a dress for the prom Inuyasha." She said.
Inuyasha knew what a prom was, since Kagome had been talking about it for about a month now. Since he knew that she was very exited about it, he didn't know why her eyes looked so sad.
"Is something wrong Kagome?" he asked.
"No no no I'm fine," she said.
Suddenly, Kagome's mom stepped into the room.
"Hello Inuyasha!" she said warmly.
"Hello ma'am" he said.
"We're going out to find a dress for Kagome, so you'd better go back down the well, or even better." Kagome's mom smiled slyly, "you can come with us."
Inuyasha waited for Kagome to protest, but she didn't say anything.
Kagome's mom smiled. "Wonderful!" "You can borrow some of my late husband's clothes to wear."
*****An hour later*****
Inuyasha stood in the entrance to the "mall" wearing a "T-shirt", "Jeans", and "gym shoes". He most definitely preferred his fire rat haori much better.
Kagome was following him, and trying to ignore how hot he looked in her era's clothing.
Kagome's mom barged in after Kagome, and dragged her and Inuyasha to a store that sold fancy dresses for special occasions.
Kagome and her mom drifted around the store, picking out dresses in various colors.
Finally they met up in front of the fitting rooms. Kagome's mom was carrying a red dress, a blue dress, and two black dresses. Kagome was carrying a red dress, a white dress, and a black dress.
Poor Inuyasha is trailing behind, looking bewildered by two women in serious shopping mode.
Kagome told him to sit down in the chair by the door of the dressing room she would be in.
"OK Inuyasha" she said. "I'm going to put on one of these dresses, and then I'm going to come out here to show you. I want you to tell me what you think."
Inuyasha smirked, regaining his composure. "Feh, wench. Why should I care?"
Kagome glared at him. "Inuyasha, don't make me say the s-word"
"Fine. Just hurry up"
Kagome went into the dressing room and came out wearing one of the black dresses.
"This is the only one of the black ones that I liked." She confessed. "The other ones were too skanky."
"It looks awful." Inuyasha said. In truth, he thought this dress was also too skanky. He didn't want anyone else to see HIS Kagome wearing something like that.
"FINE." Kagome said angrily, and marched back into the dressing room.
15 minutes later Kagome came out wearing the red dress.
"What do you think of THIS dress?" she asked acidly.
Inuyasha was speechless. She looked absolutely gorgeous. The deep red of the dress brought out the whiteness of her skin, and the blackness of her hair.
"Fine." He managed to choke out, turning bright red.
Kagome smiled shyly, inexplicably happy to be getting his attention at last.
"I'm glad you like it."
"Yeah. I like it. A lot." He said, and turning even redder, if possible.
"I'll buy this one than." Kagome said.
After buying the dress, Kagome, Inuyasha, and her mom, all went to get orange juliases. While they were eating in the food court, some of Kagome's friends from school came over and dragged her away to talk and shop for a while longer.
"Inuyasha and I will pick up a few other things and meet you in front of the door in and hour." Kagome's mom said, and dragged Inuyasha away.
"Who is that Kagome?" asked Meiko.
"Yeah Kags. He's damn HOT." Said Lani.
"He's Inuyasha." Said Kagome, blushing.
Is he your boy friend?" asked Meiko.
Her body was lean and athletic from all the running, training and fighting in the feudal era, and her hair, from lack of time to get haircuts, now fell in soft ebony waves to her waist. Her skin was ivory colored and flawless and her eyes were a clear, deep blue-gray.
