chapter 4 already and there not being anything said about a road trip means
this is going to be an on-going fic! So I hope you have patience! Woot!
Road Trip Gone Wild!
Kagome pushed Miroku from behind to get him to keep walking. Ever since he disposed of the robe, girls have been flocking behind the trio, hoping to get his attention. And of course, they have succeeded.
"Hello, my ladies," Miroku called to the girls that were gawking at him. Kagome pushed him. All the girls giggled.
"Will you move a bit faster?!" Kagome yelled at him. "We still have to get clothes for Inu-yasha!"
Inu-yasha grunted. Kagome wasn't dragging him anywhere anymore, so he lost all interest in this shopping...
"We don't have to, Kagome," He told her. "Let's just go back to your home."
"No way, we are going to find something for you."
They continued walking; passing up clothes stores, which hadn't caught Inu-yasha's attention. Kagome was starting to lose hope. Inu-yasha was certainly hard to please.
Kagome bumped into the back of Miroku when he suddenly stopped. He just stood there and stared at something in front of them.
'Oh, gawd,' Kagome thought. 'Not another girl.'
Inu-yasha looked in the direction Miroku was looking in and sighed.
It was...Victoria's Secret.
"No," Kagome said. She pulled on Miroku, but he didn't budge. "No, Miroku! Remember what happened last time you were around lingerie?!"
She pulled on him again, and this time he went with her, but his eyes never left the store.
"It's okay, Miroku," She said. "I promise you'll survive without going in there," She looked at him. "Oh, and wipe the drool from your face."
He obeyed.
Kagome turned to Inu-yasha, but he wasn't there.
"Where'd?" Kagome turned again and spotted him standing in front of a store window with his face pressed up against it. Obviously, something caught his attention.
She walked over to him, guiding Miroku who couldn't really see with all the bags and stuff he was carrying.
"Find something?" Kagome asked Inu-yasha. He just nodded.
Kagome looked in the window. It was a skateboard shop, but had clothes as well. She looked up at the neon sign, which read "Skaters Haven". (Skaters Haven is very popular here in Ohio, and I can so picture Inu-yasha in the clothes they have there! YUM!)
Inu-yasha walked in the store and looked around and sighed. "Now these are clothes..."
Kagome was thrilled. Who would have though Inu-yasha would have gone for the punk look?! (Actually, I did...lol) This is almost as good as the leather pants!
Inu-yasha walked over to the hoodies. All they had was black, but Inu-yasha loved it. He picked a hoodie up and looked at the logo, it said "INDEPENDENT".
He didn't know what that meant, or what it was, but he took it anyways. When he was done with the hoodies, he ended up with "INDEPENDENT", "BLIND", "BIRDHOUSE", "BLACLABLE", and many more. All of which were skateboarding labels.
He then walked over to the pants section. He picked up a pair of shorts and held them up to himself. They went just above his ankles. His face twisted in disgust.
"What the hell?"
He threw them back.
After rummaging through the pants, he ended up with about seven different pairs. One pair was black, baggy, and had red metallic chains hanging from the belt loops, and hooking up to leather, black straps that buckled on the back of the pants. They were pretty hot. (And in my opinion, kinky. Lol)
Kagome followed him to the cash register, happy that this time he didn't try to walk out the door with his stuff.
After all was bought and paid for, Kagome sent Inu-yasha off to the dressing rooms to change. All the while, Miroku stood at the entrance of the store with a group of girls that followed him there.
When Inu-yasha walked out, Kagome sighed. He looked awesome, maybe even better then with the leather...
He had on the "INDEPENDENT" hoodie, which had two, small red crosses at the beginning and the end of the word. And "INDEPENDENT" was in white. The hoodie was extra baggy, so the bottom of it was in the middle of his thigh. His pants were black, and shredded at the bottom, and had chains hanging from his waist, and looping back up to the belt loops. The pants were baggy enough, that they covered his shoes. But you could still see he had picked out a pair of red and black Vans. And the long silver hair really set off the outfit. How he knew to do it, she didn't know, but he even had his pants sagging, like other skaters.
"Hey," She said with a smile. "Lift up the back of your goodie."
He did so, and turned for her to see. She laughed; he had on yellow boxers with cheesy smiley faces all over them.
"What," He asked concerned. "Doesn't look good?"
Her face turned red. "Oh, no," She answered. "It looks just fine."
He smiled, not a real smile, but enough to be considered a smile for HIM.
Kagome reached out and grabbed a couple of his bags. They then walked towards the front of the store. Before they got to Miroku, Inu- yasha stopped.
"What is it?" Kagome asked him.
He pointed to a skateboard. "I want one of those."
"Inu-yasha," Kagome started. "It takes years of practice to get good on one of those, and I don't think you have the patience."
Inu-yasha shrugged. "I'd like to try."
Kagome couldn't refuse. He got one of those little boy looks he often got when she said she needed to go in her time, and this time, she couldn't say no.
"Okay, but you're going to use it!"
The trio walked from the store with their belongings. Inu-yasha was carrying his new board under his arm. It was a "HAWK SERIES" and it had loose, gold trucks. The wheels were a metallic silver to match the gold and silver paint on the bottom of the board. The picture was of a hawk skeleton.
Kagome had used a lot of the money on her mom's card for the board. She got him the best that was in the store.
'Mom's gonna be ticked.' Kagome thought. But it was all worth it. Inu-yasha and Miroku both seemed to be having the time of their lives. She had never seen them so happy before. They were walking a little ahead of her, Miroku talking about how bland Inu-yasha looked in all black. Inu- yasha was making fun of how Miroku had been secretly hanging out with his brother, Sesshomaru, because that was stuff and pansy would wear. They were laughing and enjoying themselves, and Kagome couldn't have been happier.
Just then, from behind them, someone yelled Kagome's name.
All three turned to see a tall boy running towards them.
"Kagome! It's so nice to see your uterus is doing better!" The boy yelled.
People turned and stared at her. She blushed. 'Oh, Grandpa's definitely going to get it...' She thought.
When the boy reached them, he let out a deep breath. "I've missed not seeing you, Kagome. I've been so worried about you."
Kagome snuck a look at Inu-yasha. Inu-yasha was glaring at the boy, and his lips were tightly pressed together.
"Oh, Hojo," Kagome answered. "That's so nice of you, to worry about me."
"I have been thinking of you a lot." Hojo continued. "I was hoping we could get together sometime after you've been feeling better."
Inu-yasha snorted and grabbed Kagome's wrist. "Sorry, no can do," Inu- yasha grunted. "As soon as we get home, she's planning on getting sick again."
He pulled and tried to drag her away, but she pulled him back.
"Oh?" Hojo said, not really getting what Inu-yasha had said. "I wasn't aware you are still ill." Hojo looked at Inu-yasha. "And how could you take her out when she's not fully well? She needs to rest completely!"
Inu-yasha just stared at him. Hojo stared back.
"Hey!" Hojo yelled.
"What?" Inu-yasha yelled back, getting pumped, ready to fight.
"Where'd you get those dog ears? They're so real looking!" He reached up and squeezed Inu-yasha's ears.
Kagome saw Inu-yasha's face get red, and she knew this wasn't good. She pulled Hojo away. "We got them at Spencers, you know, the gift store."
Hojo reached in his pocket and pulled out 500 yen. "Would this be enough?"
Kagome didn't know. "Ah, y-yeah. I think that's just enough."
"Great!" Hojo said. He put the money back in his pocket. "Oh, Kagome, are you still feeling too bad to do anything?"
Miroku nodded. "Yes, you should have seen us trying to pry her loose from her futon...she is a feisty one!"
Inu-yasha agreed. "She's so sick, she called me...mom. Yeah, this morning, she called me mom."
Hojo looked very concerned. He looked at Kagome. "Are you sure you should be out?"
"I'm fine," She said, elbowing Miroku and Inu-yasha in the gut. "I've never felt better."
"Good, then maybe you can go on a trip with me!" Hojo said happily. "My Uncle lives in America, and he said I can come to visit. He has a van he is going to loan me, so I figured I would bring a few friends and go on a road trip!"
Kagome just looked at him. She would love to go to America on a trip, but she knew Inu-yasha would never agree to it.
"I can't, Hojo," Kagome nodded toward Inu-yasha and Miroku. "I have to stay here since we have out of towners."
"You know," Hojo said slowly. "They can go, too! It would be a blast.
He didn't really want them to go, but if it's the only way to get Kagome to go, so be it...
Miroku smiled. "You know, that sounds fun," He said. "I heard in America you can take things from stores with out paying for them."
Kagome elbowed him again. She really wanted to go. She would have to do some begging with Inu-yasha, but she figured it would be worth it.
"Let me call you later about it, Hojo. I have to think some things over."
"GREAT!" Hojo yelled. He was thrilled. "Okay, call me tonight? Or tomorrow?"
"Yes," Kagome answered.
Hojo whistled and took off. He ran into a group of shoppers. After he helped them pick their things up, he yelled back. "Bye, KAGOME!"
"There's no way in the seven hells we are going on a trip with him, Kagome, so don't even ask me," Inu-yasha said. He knew it was coming, and he was prepared.
"But don't you think it would be..."
"No,"
"PLEASE!" She yelled.
They were now sitting around in the front of her house. It was about seven p.m., and they had just got done eating. Miroku sat drinking a 7up.
"Hey, Kagome," Miroku said. "Read this for me."
She looked at the can. "Make 7..."
"UP YOURS!" He said, laughing hysterically.
She rolled her eyes.
Inu-yasha rolled by on his board. Kagome was amazed at how well he was balancing on the board for it being his first try. Well, she should have known, with him being part demon, he had to have tremendous balance and skills used for skateboarding.
"Inu-yasha, we have to go," She stated.
"No," He ollied on the board.
Kagome huffed. She stood then stormed into the house.
Miroku watched her go. "You've done it now, you better go and apologize for being a fool."
"Feh," Inu-yasha manueled up to him. How did the tricks come so natural to him? "She started it with that idiotic suggestion."
"What's so idiotic about it?"
"We have shards to be getting, monk. We have no time for this."
"But think of all the time you would be spending with her."
Inu-yasha blinked. He didn't think of this. They would be together a lot, and they wouldn't have to be worried about demons getting them or anything.
He blinked again. "What would make you think I would want to spend time with her?"
Miroku laughed. "I know you feel something for her, and I know she feels the same way back."
"What makes you think that I-," Inu-yasha started. "Feels the same way back? Are you sure?"
"Yes," Miroku was enjoying this. They were so ignorant about each other's feelings for the other! "You should consider telling her how you feel."
"Feh," Inu-yasha said, sitting next to him. "I'd be a fool if I did, and you were wrong about her feeling the same."
"Ha!" Miroku laughed. "I got you to admit you DO have feelings for her!"
Inu-yasha hit Miroku and put a finger up to his own lips.
"Shhh! Fool! She'll hear you!"
"Okay, okay," Miroku rubbed the spot where Inu-yasha hit him. "So, are you going to tell her?"
Inu-yasha thought about it. "Yes, I will."
He stood and went to the front door.
"Oh, Inu-yasha," Miroku said, looking back at him. "I would make it even better if you said you would go on the trip, too."
Inu-yasha growled. "Whatever..."
Miroku laughed, he was finally going to tell her!
Road Trip Gone Wild!
Kagome pushed Miroku from behind to get him to keep walking. Ever since he disposed of the robe, girls have been flocking behind the trio, hoping to get his attention. And of course, they have succeeded.
