Chapter 6

"Kagome! Are you ever going to come out or what?" Sango called to the dressing rooms.

"I don't know, Sango...it's kind of revealing don't you think?" Kagome called back hesitantly.

"Kagome! You have got to be kidding me! You just wore a strapless dress...so don't tell me you can't wear a halter top!" Sango laughed.

"Ehh.. Okay..." Kagome opened her dressing room door shyly and stood.

Kagome was wearing a white ruffled mini skirt with a tropical flower halter top. The halter top was light pink with pictures of elegant pink flowers on it. It had a white trim along the bustline.

Sango's mouth dropped.

"You look absolutely stunning! I'm so jealous!" Sango said as she admired.

"Strike a pose, Kagome!" Sango joked.

"You really think is looks...okay?" Kagome asked.

"I'm positive!" Sango said.

"Now, it's my turn to dress you up!" Kagome winked as Sango flinched.

==============================================================================

Inuyasha and Miroku had just entered the mall.

"Great! Now how am I suppose to find that wench-of-a-sister!" Inuyasha exclaimed.

"Inuyasha...you might want to calm down..people are starting to stare.." Miroku said.

"Who cares if they stare! I need to get into my damn house!" Inuyasha said forcefully.

'Wait..I can pick up Sango's scent from here..' Inuyasha thought as he sniffed.

"Oh great..you going to do the dog thing, aren't you?" Miroku joked.

"I could always start a bigger scene, Miroku.. So shut-up!" Inuyasha replied while still sniffing.

He ran upstairs and Miroku followed. When Inuyasha finally caught up with the scent, his mouth dropped open at what he saw. When Miroku finally caught up with him, he looked at what Inuyasha was looking at.

"Kagome?!" Miroku called out.

"Miroku!" Kagome called back. "What're you doing here?"

"Inuyasha forgot his keys and we came here to get them back from San–" Miroku stopped what he was saying when Sango came out of the dressing room.

"Kagome, I really don't think this...MIROKU?!" Sango exclaimed nearly tripping out of the dressing room.

Miroku just stared at Sango. Her hair was down and on one side a flower was put behind one of her ears. She was wearing a black low back drapey halter top and a pair of white jeans. Sango's magenta eye shadow blended in with the magenta flower.

"See! I told you it would look great, Sango!" Kagome said as she saw her friend come out.

"Sango...I need the house keys.." Inuyasha said slowly while looking at Kagome.

"Umm..Sango's over there.." Kagome said uneasily while pointing in Sango's direction.

"Oh! Sure..let me just get my purse from the dressing room."

"Aaand.. I'll go with you!" Kagome said quickly while following Sango to the rooms.

=================================================================================

"Hey, Miroku...she's gone. You can stop drooling now." Inuyasha said to a dazed Miroku.

"Did you see her? Did you see her? She looked...she looked...beautiful"

Inuyasha grunted.

"Kagome didn't look too bad either.." Inuyasha muttered.

"Excuse me? Did I...just hear that I thought I just heard?" Miroku snapped back to reality.

"You thought Kagome looked 'absolutely ravishing' didn't you? You did huh? Come on, admit it.." Miroku nudged Inuyasha.

"Hey! Bug off! She looked....nice...yeah...nice." Miroku could tell Inuyasha was having a hard time admitting he thought Kagome looked great, so he didn't push him any further.

================================================================================

"Did you see the look on Miroku's face?" Kagome laughed.

"He was so hypnotized on you! I bet he's still standing there drooling!" she laughed.

"You really think so?" Sango asked.

"You bet! He's totally sprung.." Kagome winked.

"Well, you should've seen Inuyasha's face! He was so staring at you!" Sango smiled.

"Ahh, I have a big doubt about that one, but ehh.." Kagome blushed.

'But I really wish he did look at me that way. Eeep! Thankfully I said that in my thoughts than out loud or else Sango would never let that quote go!' Kagome thought to herself.

"Trust me...you can say you doubt it..but I know what you're thinking.." Sango winked.

'EEP!!'

===============================================================================

"Here's the keys." Sango came out of the dressing rooms in her normal clothes.

"What took you so long?" Inuyasha asked aggravated.

"Well if I stayed in the store's clothes the whole time they might've thought that I was attempting to steal or something, you moron!" Sango said lightly hitting Inuyasha in the back of the head.

"I'm starving... I haven't eaten all day!" Kagome said while coming out of the dressing rooms.

"Well, why don't we all eat here for a while?" Miroku suggested.

"That sounds great! Sounds good to you, Kagome?" Sango asked.

"Sure! I wonder what kind of food stands there are here.." Kagome replied.

"You up for it Inuyasha? It'll give you a chance to talk to Kagome more..." Miroku whispered at Inuyasha while winking.

"Feh. Whatever. Just hurry up and pay for your stuff so we can proceed.." Inuyasha said while exiting the store.

The two girls shrugged and got into line

"Hmm, so what're you craving for Kagome?" Sango asked as they waited.

"Hmm, I really don't know..I'm just hungry!" They both laughed.

"Kagome, why don't you let me pay for this? You could go with Inuyasha to look for a place to eat." said Miroku.

"Oh, really? You wouldn't mind paying for all of this?"

"No! Of course not..anything for my cousin!" Miroku smiled.

Kagome realized that Miroku just really wanted to spend time with Sango...alone. With this power, she thought that she should just push him a little bit more.

"Oh! Then you wouldn't mind paying for this too?" She asked innocently while holding up a shirt.

A vein popped up from his forehead and he forced a smile.

"S-s-s-ure..." he said.

Sango realized what Kagome was doing and laughed. She also blushed at the thought of the reason of what Kagome was doing.

"Oh, and this too? Oh! A few bracelet's would also do good.." Kagome giggled to herself as she added more and more things for Miroku to pay for.

As he agreed to all of the accessories and clothes, she realized that he must want to spend time with Sango more than she thought. She finally gave up and left the store.

=================================================================================

"Inuyasha! Wait up!" Kagome called when she caught sight of a silver-haired boy.

"Feh. Hurry up, girl! I haven't got all day!" he said without looking back.

When she finally caught up with him, she had been panting and panting.

'Hmph, she must've been more farther behind than I thought..' Inuyasha thought to himself.

By the time Kagome had left the store, Inuyasha was practically out of her sight. She had ran all through the mall looking for him.

Inuyasha looked at the panting girl and saw that she didn't even have the energy to move her legs properly. He rolled his eyes and squatted in front of her. Kagome stared at him as if he were crazed.

"Uhh..what're you doing?" Kagome questioned.

"I'm laying an egg!! Feh. What do you think I'm doing?! Climb on and I'll carry you as we look for a place to eat." Inuyasha said.

"Is that..necessary?"

"Would you rather walk? By the looks of you it seems like you're really tired. Hurry up and get on before I change my mind.."

Kagome climbed on his back and wrapped her arms around his neck. People stared at them as they walked pass by. Kagome blushed hearing their comments.

'Aww! What a cute couple they are'

'Look, honey! Why don't you ever carry me that way?'

'I wish I had a boyfriend who would carry me..'

Inuyasha had stopped walking when they came across the food court. There were various types of food being sold. Kagome licked her lips at the delicious aroma. She thought that this was her hint to jump off his back, but before she could move Inuyasha was up and walking again. When she turned her head to look at his face, he was grinning widely.

'I wonder what he's looking at..' Kagome thought.

Inuyasha finally stopped at a food stand with big bold letters 'RAMEN'.

=================================================================================

"That's nice of you to pay for Kagome's things, Miroku." Sango complimented.

"Oh, it's nothing at all..." Miroku said dully. Sango laughed at his expression.

When Sango approached the register, the lady looked at her and Miroku.

"Aww, this is so sweet. I remember when I was your age. My boyfriend use to pay for all of my clothes too!" the register lady said as she marked the price tags.

"Oh..him? He's....him..he's..not..really..my..boyfriend..you see...he's just a friend.." Sango said blushing.

"Oh, my! My mistake..most apologies, ma'am. You two just looked so adorable waiting in line with each other. By the blushing on both of your faces, I would've guessed that you two were a pair."

Sango and Miroku just looked at each other and turned a shade of pinkish red. After Sango paid for her things, she went towards the door of the store.

Miroku went to the same register lady to pay for Kagome's things.

"So, dear.. Who are these clothes for? If they're not for that stunning lady over there...are they for you?" The lady said with a mellow tone.

"Oh these? No, no, no, no! They're for my cousin, you see.." Miroku said quickly.

"Oh deary! I see. Is that girl a friend of yours?" the lady asked as she added the pile of clothes and accessories together.

"Ehh...yeah..Well, yes she is." Miroku while looking at Sango. She was looking at the receipt of her newly bought clothes.

The lady at the register realized that he was looking at the girl and smiled.

"Well, I know it's none of my business or anything. But would you care to listen to a lady's bit of advice?"

"Oh, by all means.. Go on." Miroku said as he stopped looking at Sango.

The register lady gestured Miroku to get closer as she whispered in his ear.

"Don't let her get away." she winked.

Miroku's eyes widened with shock and smiled.

"I'll keep that in mind.." He replied.

"Great! Now your total is $240 and 67 cents."

"WHAT?!" his smiled faded and he nearly fainted.
