'thoughts' "speaking"

Chapter two: The Encounter.

Kagome put a baseball cap on Inu Yasha to cover up his ears as they were going out to get him a new outfit. As they walked through the house Shippo noticed Sota's door open so he went in his room and hopped onto the bed. He thought to himself 'wow...this is really comfortable' he yawned and fell asleep in minutes. Kagome looked at the little kitsune and thought 'he looks so peaceful...I better leave him here and let him sleep.' She and Inu Yasha quietly left the house.

Inu Yasha followed Kagome through the city to the store. As Kagome made him try on some outfits he thought looked stupid he said "Kagome...can we go now? If we wait any longer it's possible that demon will have destroyed the city." Kagome made him keep the outfit of a blue baseball hat, (to cover his ears) a blue T-shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers (which Inu Yasha didn't like very much at all) Kagome paid the man at the register and left with Inu Yasha. As they left the store he complained "Darn it, Kagome! Why'd you make me wear all blue!?"

Kagome just giggled but didn't say anything. 'I hope that blue makes him calm down...I mean, it's such a relaxing color' she noticed Inu Yasha looking to the right. A girl with brown hair, a red bandana, sun glasses, black jeans, and sneakers stood next to a stop sign. She had fangs and claws. Kagome asked him "What is it, Inu Yasha?" he turned around for a brief second to look at Kagome then turned back to see no one "It was...nothing."

The two walked through the city in search of anything. As they did, Inu Yasha asked Kagome "The demon girl and human boy went through the well, right?" Kagome nodded as he continued "then wouldn't someone have noticed them?" Kagome stopped and thought for a moment 'he has a good point there...my mom was in the shrine all day yesterday (she had finished up her housework and was tidying up the place. Kagome knew because the shrine was pretty clean) she should've noticed a demon climbing out of the well'

A scream was heard around the corner and they rushed over to see a girl around the age of 16 being beat up by a bunch of gangsters. As Inu Yasha was about to strike, the girl he saw earlier appeared and kicked their butts, saving the girl who thanked her and ran off. Kagome looked behind the girl and saw a boy with dirty blonde hair, brown eyes, and an outfit like the one Inu Yasha was wearing except he didn't have a hat and his shirt was green. "Inu Yasha...I can sense jewel shards coming from that boy" She pointed at the boy who yelled "That's enough...let's go!" The girl and the boy fled the scene and ran around the corner, before Inu Yasha and Kagome could catch up, they were gone."
