Yes I, Cat, have returned from the Nut house with even more creative Ideas. Namely Hojo might get pulled in. How fun will that be? Well let's see!

When Kagome told them about the mall they thought it was great Idea. To Inuyasha the Food Court sounded like an invention worth investigating and Shippou wanted to see the Arcade. Kagome just wanted to live through this day with her social status intact. When she asked Mom for a ride she gladly said yes, anything to get them out of the house. They were taking over! Well Inuyasha suspiciously eyed the car while Shippou hopped in the front seat instantly. Anything Kagome said was safe was good in his book and the front looked like the best spot. Kagome jumped into the back seat and told Inuyasha to come on! Inuyasha still not happy with the car cautiously got into the car next to Kagome. Mom told them, "Seatbelts everyone!" and Inuyasha found a new hazard. Pinching his fingers in the clasp of the evil invention known as the Seatbelt. Sooner or later he got it on with Shippou trying not to laugh at him, Kagome's Mother had helped the kitsune with his seatbelt. When everyone was buckled in Mom drove off. She actually drove like a sane person! Amazing knowing who's writing this story.

They got there without incident other than a random bad driver. That white car was going the wrong way! Getting out of the car Inuyasha vowed that other than the return trip home he would walk. He had to make sure Kagome was okay on the trip home. (Cat- =^n.n^= There's your daily recommended allowance of Waffyness Mua hahahahaha.) Kagome waited impatiently for Shippou who was stuck in his seatbelt. Inuyasha laughed a little bit. The little chibi deserved it but he got a light whack over the head from Kagome. Finally Shippou got out and they all walked into the Mall. Inuyasha restrained himself from running straight to where the delicious smells where coming from instead voting to go to the Arcade where all those bells were coming from.

Shippou ran ahead (Cat- GAH NOOO THE WAFFYNESS IS TAKING OVER!) leaving Inuyasha and Kagome to walk a bit slower towards the Games room getting a good look at the stores. " Oh no," Kagome said covering her eyes as her match making friends spotted them and made their way over. "So who's this?" Eri asked giving Inuyasha look over. He blinked and sidled slightly behind and closer to Kagome. He could handle Evil monsters that would rip you heart out as soon as look at you, and evil magic, and spiders. But rabid fan girls.erm I mean schoolgirls hitting on him were a very large obstacle. (Cat- Awww how cute! Afraid of the Rabid Fan Girls I disguised as Kagome's buddies from school. No wonder he's nervous!) "Guys this is Inuyasha, Inuyasha this is," Pointing to each one in turn, "Eri, Yuka and Ayume." " Nice to meet you Inuyasha!" Yuka, " Yeah great to meet you," Ayume, "Good to meet you Inuyasha, Kagome can we have a word with you?" Eri. As Kagome and the 3 girls walked away Inuyasha fidgeted debating whether or not to go sit on the bench and wait.

Eri hissed, "I thought you liked Hojo! What's the story with this new guy?" " Erm, Umm-"goes the broken Kagome till she's interrupted, "Do you like him?" Ayume "How come we don't know him?" Yuka "Well you see he's from another.um. school! Yeah that's it! He's from another school. And um, we met at a.*Think Kagome think! * Feudal Era play?" Ayume," Ooooo he's an actor?" Kagome, "Um no we just sat near each other in the front row." Kagome hoped Inuyasha was hearing this so he could back her up. He had decided to sit on the bench and was listening to every word they said. Even with the bandana over his ears he had pretty good hearing. (Cat- I am truly evil! MUA HA HA HAAAA!!!) He noticed she never did answer that question about her liking him. *Feh, she never says anything good when I might be listening. * He thought. The girls returned and Inuyasha realized something. He got up, " Kagome we forgot about Shippou!" Kagome blinked, *oh no* " GAH! Come on Inuyasha we have to find him!" she grabbed his arm turning back briefly, " Nice seeing you, see you in school!" Inuyasha also turned around, " Yeah nice meeting you bye!" They both hurried off. Eri, Yuka Ayume together, " We've got to get those two together!" (Cat, again- Evil, EVIL I TELL YOU EVIL! _; heh heh.)

The found Shippou on a bench waiting for them outside the Arcade, "Finally I thought I'd be stuck here forever." he grumped. "Sorry Shippou we were hijacked by the Match Makers I have for friends," She sighed. Inuyasha was grinning for some unknown reason. A reason soon revealed as Kagome lifted her arm to look at her watch, "Er sorry," she said letting go of his hand the grin faded just a bit. Shippou looked near to bursting with laughter, Inuyasha sooo liked her, and it was obvious. Eri, Yuka, and Ayume were following them like watchful hounds until they spotted Hojo at the arcade. A plan was born.

Heh, heh. I'm beyond evil! Well this is fun anyways; the rabid fan girls are doing their job well. Sorry it's so short. (1, 032 words _) I have to take a break from this story for a little bit; I've been typing 2 ½ hours straight. I wonder what that plan will be. Whatever it is it can't be good if Hojo, Kagome and Inuyasha are in it. BTW I renamed Eri, Yuka, and Ayume thanks to Cloudwalker! THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU ROCK BEYOND MY KNOWLEDGE!!!!!!!! Oh he was grinning because Kagome was still holding his hand n_n... And everyone thanks for reviewing! Yes I will reply later BUT for now my brain shall be fried... *drops a black smoldering thing next to her...* Ooops...

o.O... *Walks off willingly to the nut house* Can I have all the almonds I want? *seems she STILL doesn't know what a nut house IS O.o...*
