====================================================================
Chapter 5
The ride to the mall wasn't the smoothest of rides. Kagome couldn't help but feel a tad bit uncomfortable sitting next to Inuyasha.
'Why does he keep glancing at me?' Kagome thought to herself as she looked out of the window. Through it's reflection, she kept on catching Inuyasha's eyes shifting on her and then back onto the road.
"Hey Kagome! Since your in the passenger's seat, why don't you play as the DJ of this car, eh?" Sango called from the back seat.
"Uhhm..sure. Would that be okay with you, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked with unease.
"Feh. Whatever, as long as you don't play any of that pop or country shit." Inuyasha said while driving with one hand.
"Mm.. Okay..." Kagome said silently as she tried to figure out how to turn on the radio. There were several buttons and she was worried which one was the right one to press.
'Ummm, great.. I probably look like a fool.. I can't even turn on the radio!' Kagome thought to herself as she struggled to find the right button.
Inuyasha glanced at Kagome and saw that she had no idea that the button was right in front of her.
"Sango, while at the mall why don't you buy your friend some common sense too?" Inuyasha rolled his eyes as he pushed the 'ON' button.
"There..Now I hope you at least have the brains to know how to tune it? Yennoe? Like find the station you want to listen to?" Inuyasha said mockingly.
Kagome blushed out of embarrassment and nodded her head.
"Inuyasha! Give her a break, would you? This is the first time she's been in your car! And she's probably not use to your weird ass radio! You didn't even know how to turn it on when you first got this car! I didn't know how to turn it on. Mom didn't know.. Neither did Kiky–" Sango was interrupted by Inuyasha's scowl. She laid back into her seat and began talking with Miroku.
"No way are you going to DJ right now...not when this song is playing." Inuyasha said demandingly.
"For your information, I wasn't planning to. I love this song!" Kagome said while bobbing her head.
The song that was playing was old, but still a classic.
"Oh boy, 'Bring me to Life'.." Sango said during her conversation with Miroku.
"Tell me about it! Kagome never stops listening to this song!" Miroku laughed.
Kagome mouthed the words while looking out of the window. She didn't realize that Inuyasha was doing the same. Suddenly, it came to her favorite part.
"All this time I can't believe I couldn't see..kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me.." Inuyasha sang to himself.
"I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems, got to open my eyes to everything.." Kagome sang to herself.
"Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul.." Inuyasha's voice started to get louder.
"Don't let me die here.." Kagome replied to the line.
"There must be something more!"
"Bring me to life!" Both Kagome and Inuyasha exclaimed.
Sango and Miroku paused their conversation to glare at the two, but then shrugged and resumed talking. Inuyasha and Kagome stared at eachother until he heard a beeping in front of him. He turned his attention back on the road and Kagome faced the window again. Both of them blushed and were quiet throughout the rest of the drive.
"Well, we're here..." Inuyasha said while stopping the car...he was still blushing.
Sango and Miroku had been talking the whole drive and hadn't heard Inuyasha's call.
"I said...WE'RE HERE.." Inuyasha's voice grew louder and his blushing began to turn red with annoyance.
Kagome cleared her throat trying to catch the attention of the two.
"HEY! WE'RE HERE AT THE MALL NOW!" impatient Kagome and Inuyasha exclaimed.
"Oh! Sorry, Kagome! Wow, I didn't realize.." Sango blushed.
"It's fine.. It's fine.." Kagome said while sighing.
"I'll call when you can pick us up, okay Inuyasha?" Sango assured as she got out of the car.
"Eh, whatever. As long as you stay in the mall and only in the mall. Don't be going off anywhere else. I don't want mom to have a cow when she realizes we can't find you." Inuyasha said.
"Mom won't be home till late, late night...and plus, where else have we got to go? Later!" Sango waved and gestured Kagome to follow her. Miroku got out of the back and sat in the front seat.
"So what happened up there? You were silent most of the way?" Sango asked as the car drove away.
"I don't know...I just started singing the song.." Kagome shrugged her shoulders.
"Are you shy around my brother or something? You know..because you like him and everything?" Sango asked.
"Oh no! I'm not as far as shy with him...more like intimidated...like that whole radio thing. And, I don't like him...I think he's cute." Kagome explained.
"Ohh.. Well you don't have to be intimidated...Inuyasha's a really great guy...you guys just need to get together more often. And plus, it seems he became a bit comfortable with you.. Don't think I didn't hear that duet you two did." Sango winked.
"Duet?! Sango, Sango...that was a...we were just...singing to ourselves...not our faults we like the same verse.." Kagome smiled sheepishly.
Sango rolled her eyes and smiled.
"Well, enough talk I suppose. Time to do what we came to do. Did you remember your wallet?" Sango asked.
"Oh no! I totally forgot! Looks like you're going to have pay for me again.. Shucks." Kagome said sarcastically. Sango paused.
"I'm only kidding, Sango. Of course I brought it." Kagome laughed as she dangled her wallet in front of Sango.
The two girls laughed and started walking.
==========================================================================
"So, Miroku...the lecherous Miroku.." Inuyasha grunted as he exited the mall.
"Hey! Give me some credit... I've only groped your sister once...usually I grope woman I've just met far more times than that.." Miroku replied.
'Uh oh.. Bad, bad, bad move Miroku' he thought to himself.
"WHAT?!" Inuyasha screamed and nearly crashed the car over a hill.
"Relax, Inuyasha. That didn't come out the right way I intended it to.." Miroku said while gulping.
"Feh. So what makes Sango so different from other woman?" Inuyasha asked after several minutes of awkward silence.
"I don't know...she's just...not like any other girl I've met.." Miroku explained.
"She has a mind of her own and isn't afraid to say what she really thinks. She's..."
"Not some slut-bag whore?" Inuyasha interrupted.
"Hey! I was opening up to you Inuyasha...the least you could've done was listen!" Miroku said offended.
"First of all, I was listening. So you like my sister? Big deal! I only added that comment because you took too long to finish your sentence AND the only girls you've been with WERE slut-bag whores! Furthermore, her affairs are not of my concern!" Inuyasha said hesitantly. He glanced at Miroku uneasily.
"...But the second I see her with a tear because of you, you better hope that I'm not around!" Inuyasha warned.
"I doubt any chance of that'll happening, Inuyasha." Miroku laughed.
When Inuyasha reached the footsteps of his house, he noticed he forgot something very important.
"DAMNIT!"
"What is it?" Miroku asked.
"I forgot my keys! Sango has the house keys! Damnit, damnit, damnit!" Inuyasha exclaimed as he banged his head on the wall.
"No worries...we'll just have to go back then." Miroku said calmly.
He was happy at the thought that he would be seeing Sango again. Inuyasha, on the other hand, was very disgruntled at the thought of having to drive back to the mall.
