Kagome made her way to the hut with her duffel bag in tow. It was two hours before sunset, but Kagome new that she would probably need all of that time and more to get Inuyasha ready. Being able to pass Inuyasha off as some from her time would be nothing short of a miracle, mixed in with some patience. The mere thought of what would probably happen when she got there made her shudder. She opened the door to find Inuasha covered in blood from his latest adventure.
"Give me the strength," she muttered to herself.
"I thought you said to be ready by sunset," Inuyasha stated.
"I did, but I know that I would need extra time getting you ready."
"What do you mean, getting me ready? What's wrong with the way I look?" he argued.
Kagome raised an eyebrow and quickly noted the blood that covered Inuyasha from head to toe.
"Okay, what's wrong with the way I normally look?" he countered.
"Nothing, it's just that it wouldn't be right for a night out on Tokyo.
"So?"
"So, I'm there to help you fit in more."
"I didn't do that to you when you were here," mumbled Inuyasha while crossing his arms.
"Look, this night is special and I'm not going to let you ruin it!" Kagome shrieked.
"Can you say that a little louder this time, I can still hear out of my right hear," he spat out.
Kagome sighed. "Okay, well do you have anything picked out?"
"I don't know. Where what I usually wear."
Kagome brought her hand to her face and began to shake her head.
"Yep, this is definitely going to require a miracle," she mumbled.
Just then, Ryoko walked in while still drying her hair.
" That bath was great, just what my body needed after that last battle. Oh hey, Kagome!"
"Hey Ryoko! I'm just here to help Inuyasha out for this evening," Kagome said nonchalantly.
"Oh, you're going to dress him," Ryoko answered.
"Yeah, I brought a few things in the bag for him to try out."
"Oh, and you didn't even think of me," Ryoko pretended to pout.
"Well, I just might have a little something in here for you," Kagome baited.
"Oh, goody, let me see!" she cheered as she rummaged through the bag.
"I'm going to wash," Inuyasha interrupted then turned around and left. "Don't have time for bumbling." he mumbled under his breath.
"So what you get me?" Ryoko asked while jumping up and down in anticipation.
"Oh you'll love this. My friend works at a mall so she hooked me up with a major discount and I also borrowed a few things out of my brother's and my closet."
"Really? Cool!"
"Anyway, denim is making a big comeback so I bought you this denim skirt with a matching purse."
Ryoko held up the purse," I don't think I'm really going to need this."
"Oh, don't be silly. I put a few nail polishes and lip glosses for you to try out. Besides, if you don't feel like carrying anything in it, it still makes a great accessory to the overall outfit. Don't you think?" Kagome teased.
Ryoko pondered for a second. "Okay, what else you got?"
"Oh, yeah before I forget, the skirt has a split on each side."
Ryoko began to grin and nudge Kagome, "I knew I like your style," she teased.
"Don't get too happy, they both start just below the knee. Or at least they should."
"Hehehehe," giggled Ryoko. "Gotcha."
"Since it's chilly back home, I also brought you this red, split turtleneck sweater with a pair of red knee-high boots and a red beret to match."
Kagome looked up to see Ryoko close to tears.
"What's wrong?" Kagome asked with concern.
"No one has ever done something like this for me before," Ryoko sniffed.
"Oh nonsense, what are friends for? Now hurry up before Inuyasha gets back," Kagome shushed as she hurried Ryoko off to her room.
"Besides if you cried over that just imagine when you look into that secret pocket of that purse of yours."
Ryoko looked inside the purse and gasped as she pulled out a pair of hoop earrings.
"This is too much," whispered Ryoko as she began to tear up again.
"No it's not. This is your night. Enjoy it," Kagome encouraged then turned around to look for Inuyasha.
She looked down at her watch, "Great, I only have an hour left now."
She turned around the corner, nearly running into Inuyasha.
"You should really watch where you're going," teased Inuyasha.
"Whatever. Let's get you dressed already."
"Where's Ryoko?" he interrupted.
"Doing the same thing that I'm trying to get you to do, get dressed." Kagome looked into her bag and pulled out a pair of black leather pants. "How about these?"
"If you think that I'm wearing that." he started.
"Okay, I'll take that as a no," she interrupted while laughing nervously. "How about these instead?" she asked while holding up a pair of jeans.
Inuyasha eyed the dark blue jeans suspiciously.
"Come on. You'll love them. You can never go wrong with jeans. Did I mention how comfortable they are. I got them in "relaxed fit" just for you Inuyasha."
Inuyasha huffed then snatched the jeans from here and walked to the other room to try them on.
"There, happy?" he mumbled when he came back.
"How about this shirt?" she asked while holding up a navy blue shirt that read "Stud Muffin" in glitter.
"No way in hell!" he fired back
Kagome giggled. "I figured you to be more of the rugged type anyway, so here's a black t-shirt. Simple and plain and a black leather jacket to go with it."
"Whatever," Inuyasha mumbled while putting them on.
"Since those jeans are boot-cut, why not wear some boots with them? I bought the biggest size that I could find." (AN: I know, corny.)
While Inuyasha was putting the boots on, Kagome looked at his hair.
"Have you ever thought of getting a hair cut, Inuyasha?" she teased.
Inuyasha looked up and glared. "Lady, the day you touch my hair, will be your last," he hissed.
Kagome pretended to look amused by Inuyasha's empty threat.
"Whatever. Now to get Ryoko."
"I'm here," Ryoko interrupted her and stepped out, dazzling them both.
"Oooh!" Kagome squealed. "I love what you did with your hair. You think you could put mine in a bun with some chopsticks sometime?"
"Sure," Ryoko beamed.
Inuyasha could only stare at her.
"So," she turned towards Inuyasha and began teasing him. "How do I look?"
He began to blush and look away, "You look nice," he mumbled.
"Ah!! How cute! He's blushing!" Ryoko teased.
"Shut up!" he shouted back.
"Okay you two, we don't have much time left until I have to get ready and we meet Zeke, so let's hurry," she ordered as they made their way to the well.
Ryoko cheered to herself.
"I can't believe I'm going on a date," Inuyasha mumbled to himself.
The two looked at each other, then followed Kagome into the well.
I'm sorry that it's taking so long to review. I'm now going to take this story into another direction, but don't worry, you'll love it! I promise!
