Today was Saturday. No school.
Kagome and Kali took a trip to the mall. Everyone if not most of the students from school were there.
"I can't believe you went to a night club," Kali said, smiling. "And you won five hundred dollars in a dancing contest. How cool is that?"
Kagome grinned, looking at the wad of money she kept safely tucked in her little backpack. "Very cool. Until this man came up to me, wanting to talk."
"That's not good. I bet he was ugly."
"No," she said with a laugh. "He was really cute, but he had these bloodshot red eyes. I could tell he was high."
Kali blinked. "What happened?"
"He kept saying how he wouldn't hurt me if I talked to him and I continued to say no. Then he grabbed me by my arm really tight and I punched him. He got upset and just as he was about to hit me, Sesshomaru came out of nowhere and clucked him across the head knocking him out cold."
"He came to your rescue like a knight in shinning armor," she said, dreamily.
Kagome laughed. "Yeah, I guess you could say that."
"Where is he now?"
"Probably at home. He said since he was off today, I could come over and watch a few movies with him."
Kali nudged her in the ribs. "Are you sure that's all he wants you to do?"
Kagome's face lit up. "That's all I'm going to do!"
"Take it easy," she said, grinning. "I was just playing. How you described him to me that other time, he doesn't seem like the type to try and make a move on girls so soon."
Taking in what Kali said, she sure hoped he wasn't. What if he was the type? What if he was just playing with her the whole time and getting her to trust him enough until he finally struck?
Jeez, Sesshomaru wouldn't do something like that?
How would you know? You've only been seeing him for two days.
But...he seems like a nice guy...
...until he shows you the true him and, HA-HA! Your ass is grass.
Kagome shook her head, trying to rid the thoughts of doubt.
"How about we spend some of that money of yours on a little shopping spree?" asked Kali hooking her arms around her friend.
"Good idea," she said. "I haven't gotten any new clothes in a while." That should take my mind off Sesshomaru.
Hours passed by quickly as Kagome and Kali grew tired off walking around.
"Shopping really takes it out of you," said Kagome, taking a seat on the cool bench under the plastic tree.
Kali joined her. "Yeah. Especially if you don't do it often." She sighed. "Have you seen Inu since school let out? I noticed he hadn't followed us home yesterday."
"I went to the movies with him last night."
"To the movies...at night?"
"It's not what you think," she said, calmly. "He asked me if I wanted to go to the movies with him and I said yeah since I didn't have anything to do at the time. Until Sesshomaru called and asked if I wanted to go the movies also with him that night and I said yeah."
"Are you serious?" she asked. "Did he catch you with Inu?"
Kagome shook her head. "Nope thank God. He was so close to spotting us though. I quickly said bye to Inuyasha and went to meet him."
Kali laughed. "You're a real player. Now what if Sesshomaru wanted to go to the movies at the same time as Inuyasha?"
"But he didn't," she said with a smile. She heard a faint ringing from inside her backpack and opened it to see it was the phone. "Hello?" Oh God, it's Sesshomaru. . .
He sound as if he were in a good mood. "Hey, what's up?"
Kagome mouthed his name to Kali before replying to his question. "Nothing much. Just hanging out at the mall with my friend."
"Moneybags is spending all her bread I see."
She giggled. "Not all of it. Just a little. Um, are you at home?"
"Yeah," he said. "Just getting ready for the evening we are going to have."
"Oh okay."
"Is something wrong Kagome? You don't sound like yourself."
"I fine."
He chuckled. "That's good because you'll need your energy for when you come over."
"I'll be over there soon, okay?"
"All right. I can't wait to see you."
She hung up and nearly dropped the phone. Oh God. He said "I'll need my energy for when I come over." What are we going to do that'll require my energy?! Only one thing. . .
Kali waved her hand in Kagome's face. "Hello? Earth to Kagome. Can you hear me?"
Kagome blinked. "Yeah. Now what did you say?"
She sighed. "I said I'm leaving. I forgot I had to be somewhere at this time."
"Okay. I'll see you later then."
"Tell me what happens with you two. I want details!" Getting up from the bench, she grinned and disappeared into the crowd.
Looking at her watch, Kagome frowned. "It's already six. Time flies when you don't want it to."
She got up and slowly made her way out of the mall.
Next stop, Sesshomaru's house.
