The Trip to the mall and Sad history's told

The next morning Kagome rolled out of her bed at the sound of the alarm clock. She dressed and went down stairs to beg some money out of her mum. "Hi mom how you doing?!" she said happily giving her mother a hug. Her mom sighed and smiled "will $50 do?" she asked her daughter "YES! Thank you soooo much!" she hugged her mum took the fifty and ran outside to meet Sango who was sitting in her blue jag. She waved good-bye to her mother, brother and grandfather who waved back. "How much did you get?" Sango asked as Kagome was buckling her seat belt. Kagome held up the fifty-dollar bill. Sango's eyes went wide. "Wow! I only got $30 out of my mum, and that was with the puppy eyes!" Sango said turning the radio on and changing it to 101.3WKYZ. "I'll buy lunch. Oooh! Turn it up I love this song!" Kagome commanded Sango, who was well ahead of her. "Oooo baby do you know what that's worth?....ooo heaven is a place on earth...They say that in heaven love comes first...well make heaven a place on earth!" they sung along with Cindy Lauper. They arrived at the mall 20 minuets later. The girls walked happily into the mall chatting about what they wanted to get. "I want something that will tease Miroku." Sango said giggling and smiling an evil grin. "Like what?" asked Kagome. "Hum...maybe something like a short mini skirt with a shirt that says something that will match my personality." Sango said trailing off about different sayings that would work on the shirt. "So anywho... what are you gonna get?" Sango asked. "I'm not really sure but I think I will go with something like the innocent girl look with a splash of spice." she said winking. "Kakkoiness!" Sango said taking Kagome's hand and dragging her to the closest store.

They had spent about 2 ½ hours searching for what they wanted but couldn't find anything. (A/N: Yes it doses happen especially when your looking for something imparticular.) The two girls walked to the food court in defeat since it was about 12:30 now. "hum... I'm kinda hungry for pizza." Sango said looking around at all the choices. "Not me. I had some last night." Kagome said with a shake of the head. "How about some sushi and fried rice?" suggested Sango "Sounds good to me!" Kagome said agreeing, rubbing her hands together. They each carried a plate of food to a table. "mum...smells sooo good!" Kagome said taking in a big whiff of the sweet smells of food. "I know, I love eel sushi." Sango said picking up her chopsticks. With that said they quickly ate and got up to go and continue shopping.

"I don't know where we can go next. We practically went and tore every store apart!" Sango said in a not exactly sarcastic way. "Not every store. We still have to go to 'Fashion Cents'. Besides those stores were asking for a remodeling!" Kagome said cheerfully taking Sango by the arm. "wow! I've never really been here before." Sango said in aw at the size of the store that looks really small from the outside. "I love this store! I always find what I'm looking for." Kagome said cheerfully. "Okay since it is such a big store we should split up so we can cover more ground faster." Sango said looking around. "Good idea." said Kagome walking towards the nearest rack full of skirts. Sango went in the opposite direction and saw so many things she wanted, she had to restrain herself from buying the whole store. Then she spotted a skirt that she thought would be perfect for Kagome. "Hay Kagome come here for a min." Sango said. Kagome came waddling over with a very large armful of clothing, you could just see her eyes peeking over the top. Sango let out a snort of laughter at the sight. "na-ni?" Kagome asked grinning. "Here is your splash of spice!" Sango said holding up a army mini skirt. The skirt was several shades of green mixed with black and brown. "Ooh perfect! I think I have the innocent in here somewhere...." Kagome said wile digging through the pile of clothes she held. "ah here it is." she said holding up a black tee shirt with a picture of thumper from the movie Bambie, it was several shades of light green and said 'Delicious nutritious carrots 54' on a little sign that had a carrot on the bottom. "Ooh that is sooo kawaii!" Sango said handing Kagome the skirt. "I think I have something for you too." Kagome said searching through the pile of clothes once again. "How about this...and...this." she said handing Sango a black tennis style mini skirt and a black shirt that said 'Look all you want...' on the front and 'But if you touch you die.' on the back in red lettering that looked as though it had been written in blood. "loving it! Ha this outta keep Miroku's damn hand off my ass." Sango said helping Kagome put everything they didn't want back on the racks. They paid and left the store. "Okay miss I know all the best stores to shop at, where can we find some jewelry to go with the outfits we just bought?" Sango asked smirking. "ha-ha-ha very funny. We could go to 'Clairs'" Kagome said pointing to the accessory shop. "I was gonna say that." said Sango nodding. They left and Kagome had a small bag which held a pair of black rose earrings and matching chocker set and a three layered hip chain that had black gems spaced through out it, and Sango had a silver dragon holding a blood red stone necklace and a pair of silver hoop earrings.

After weaving their way through the thick crowd's of people, they finally made it to the parking lot. Kagome and Sango were busy talking about their favorite anime shows when someone ran into Kagome. "Sorry" Kagome said. "Watch where you're going! Oh its you." said a disgusted voice. Kagome turned around at the tone of the voice and saw Kikyou, wearing a face to match her attitude. They stood their glairing at each other for what seemed like ages but was really only a couple of minuets. "What is your problem?!" Kagome growled. "You cant win. He may like you but he still loves me, he even trusts me with his deepest secret of all." Kikyou said with a smirk. "What do you mean?" asked Kagome through gritted teeth. "Kikyou!" yelled two girls that Kagome didn't know as they came running to meet up with their friend. "Kikyou your late." said what looked like the oldest of the three girls. She had black hair put up with two oriental feather pins, slightly pointed ears, green beaded earrings, and wore a long jean skirt and a light purple tube top that said 'Heartbreaker' in glitter and she also held a fan. "yah you were suspost to meet up here over a hour ago." The other girl said. She looked about the same age as Kikyou, she also had black hair but unlike Kikyou she kept it short, it just barley grazed her shoulder's in length, and she wore a red ribbon in it, other than that there was no other word to describe her except 'slutty'. "Sorry there was a lot of traffic." Kikyou said to them before turning to the mall without a second glance back at Kagome and Sango. "Geze what flew up her nose?" Sango said. Kagome didn't say anything she just turned and walked back to Sango's car lost in her own thoughts. 'What dose she mean, I know his deepest secret...' she thought sadly. "Hello? anyone home?" Sango asked waving her hand in front of her distrot friends face. "Huh...yah I'm home." Kagome said snapping back to the outside world. Sango started the car and they were off back to Kagome's to get ready since there was a change in their plans, and the boys were going to pick them both up at the shrine. "Hay Sango what's the story with Kikyou?" Kagome asked out of no where. Sango surprised by the sudden question looked at her friend and saw a quick flash of pain in her eyes. "It's a long story really. Kikyou and her younger sister Kaede who is wise beyond her years might I add and a good friend of ours, use to live near Inuyasha. The two of them Kikyou and Inuyasha were inseparable. After just being best friends fro a long wile they did indeed fall in love with one another." Sango paused and sighed. "But the love story came to a end when they supposedly betrayed each other. Kikyou was stabbed badly in the shoulder, the wound almost took her life. Inuyasha was shot with a arrow and it just barley missed his hart but he ended up in a coma that lasted three years, the doctors weren't sure he would ever wake up they were shocked he had even survived. But there is a rumor that Kikyou had died and she was to be cremated and burned, but two days before that she awoke and came back from the dead." Sango shuddered at the thought. "Well anyway I'm sure the doctors would have had a heart attack if that ever happened. Because they both said that the other did the damage and their was no evidence to support their accusations neither of them went to jail, but the case is still a unsolved mystery." Sango said sadly "So if they supposedly tried to kill each other why did she say he still loves her?" Kagome asked. "Well...he dose still love her. But the bond between them has weakened a lot. Kikyou hates him and is still trying to find ways to make his life miserable. But Inuyasha is naïve and stubborn and wont believe the obvious truth, but don't worry he dose like you a lot even if he wont admit it." Sango said trying to cheer up Kagome. "And who are the two girls that we saw?" Kagome asked. "Well the short haired girl with the red bow is Yura, also known as Yura of the hair, because she's totally obsessed with it, and she's the schools slut! Why her and Kikyou are friends is beyond me. The taller more sophisticated girl is Kagura. She has a younger sister named Kanna (A/N: yah I know she's really Kagura's older sis but it just doesn't work with this story so deal with it.) who is still in grade school but boy dose she give me the willies," Sango paused and shivered "she shows no emotion or feeling once so ever. Well any way back to Kagura... she graduated last year and has been best friends with Kikyou for many years now, she's also going out with Sesshomaru." Sango said mater of facially. "Who's sesshomaru?" Kagome asked confused. "Oh you haven't met him? He's Inuyasha's older brother. I think that he's turning 21 this year. Not really friendly, hardly ever smiles and when he dose you better run for cover. He has a pet frog named Jaken and he adopted a little girl named Rin who's about 8, why he as a frig I don't know and I'm still trying to figure out why he adopted Rin, he's...lets just say he's not a people person, but he treats her like she was his own and will hurt anyone who brings her harm with out a second glance or guilt." Sango said with a small smile. "I didn't know any of this until you told me." Kagome said sadly. "Don't worry about it not many people do. They hardly talk about each other and when the do all it is is criticism. You see their half brothers, same father different mother. Not one knows what happened to Sesshomaru's mother but Inuyasha's died when he was around 6, we suspect either Sesshomaru's mother either died or hid father left her for Inuyasha's mother or she abandoned them, whatever the reason they don't get along for it. And when their father died they were sent to two different foster homes, Inuyasha never stayed in one place long, he became a kind of rebel. So for about 7 years he was passed from home to home like a troublesome puppy that no one wanted. Sesshomaru on the other hand stayed with one family, a rich family but they were always gone or busy so he was forced to fend for himself. When he turned 16 he returned to the land his father left to him, and because it was his fathers wish he let Inuyasha stayed with him, and that's where Kikyou comes in. Inuyasha was 14 when he went into the coma, and 17 when he awoke. Me, Miroku and Inuyasha have been best friends all our lives and we were there when he woke up which was a little over a year ago. He's just now starting to trust people again, and he's calmed down a lot." Sango concluded her story with a small smile thinking of the reason he had calmed down. "wow, and I thought I had a hard life." Kagome said wile getting out of the car, and grabbing a couple shopping bags. "So what's your story?" Sango asked following Kagome inside. "I'll tell you when we get upstairs." Kagome answered. "Hi grandpa, Souta. where's mom?" she asked the two playing video games which was a amuzing sight. "She went to the store for a minuet. I'll tell her your home." Souta said quickly shoving a potato chip into his mouth before returning to the game. "Thanks." Kagome said leading the way to her room. "So how do you want your hair done?" Sango asked "It doesn't really matter to me, you chose what you think would look best." Kagome said cheerfuly handing her every imaginable kind of hair utencle and accessory.
"Got enough stuff?" Sango asked with raised eyebrows. "Not yet. still missing a couple of things." Kagome answered jokenly. "Well anyway, I'll do your hair wile you spill." Sango instructed picking up a hair brush. "Alright, if you insist. I was born here at this shrine. When I turned seven Souta was born," a small tear fell from her eyes, she quickly wiped it away before Sango saw. "soon after my father died. when he died my mother couldn't stay here any longer too many memorys both happy and sad. So we moved to Taiwan I have a cuzen there so it was easy to find a gome. At first we were happy and contednt, but school was another thing. I found some friends wheo were good to me, but they turned on me and made my life miserable. They made fun of me ridiculed me about the way I dressed anything to make me cry. I stayed their though and put up with the remarks for seven years. I then confronted my mother and told her what had been going on and she was horrified. We then moved to Korea. The school was nice, teachers polite, and students were a menance! I didn't tell my mother because we had spent a lot on the home we just bought, so once again I put up with the pain. That's when I discovered my passion for mythical creatures. I read books that were filled with storys and adventures of people, demons, and dragons working side by side to save their lands, hopes, and dreams. I read and researched and learnt all I could about them, I don't know how to describe it, but I feel connected to them in someway. Well my new passion became my friend but people didn't understand and started to call me crazy, demon girl, cold hearted, and things along those lines. After a year of the tourcher I move to another part of the town and transferred schools. I kept to myself drawing in my notebook, and reading the storys I love. I met some people who did become friends and they were really nice but my mother got transferred to another job elsewear and I fit in with a group of girls on some level, Ayumi, Eri, and Yuka were their names they were really sweet but busy bodys! After some time I got word that this boy named Hojo who I was crushing on for a long time liked me to and then one day he asked me out, I was so happy I thought 'is this what happiness feels like?'. We went to eat out and then saw a movie, and he didn't try anything the most he did was hold my hand. We had a lot of fun and decided to see each other again. I was just starting to figure out what people ment when they said 'friendship' and decided that I didn't want to move again when something happened. Girls were saying things like 'How could Hojo, the sweet naïve hottie like a freak like that?!' and the rude remarks got out of hand, I started to draw the grim wishing it could end the pain I was feeling, one day I almost had my wish granted. Sango can I trust you with a secret of mine?" Kagome asked seriously. "of course you can" Sango promised in barly a wisper. "well there was this one girl that really liked Hojo and she would do anything to anyone who got in her way, she confronted me in the hall, we had a word duel throwing insults back at each other, but then it got intiment she punched me in the stomich and I promised my mother that no matter how bad it got I would never fight back so I did nothing in return, I held back tears of pain not willing to give her the satisfaction. Then it went to far... I rember the one insult more than any other ever spoken to me, and it struck my soul like a bolt of lightning. 'How could anyone love a weakling like you? Your father was probably happy when he died, he would never see the freak of a daughter he had ever again.' The remak hurt so much I had heard it in so many ways before but it never really sunk in befor then. I closed my eyes and droped to the floor covering my ears so I couldn't hear the chants of 'Freak' ringing through the halls. Then the girl steped forward and laughed a cold hearted laugh and raised her fist to strike me again. I screamed at the top of my lungs 'STOP IT!' and there was this big flash of purple and she flew back and hit the lockers hard knocking her out. To stunned and scared half to death I ran as fast as I could home not looking back. I sat outside crying for hours on end, my mother came out and asked what had happened...I told her everything, before speaking the words I held back for nine and a half years...'I wanna go home.' she agreed and said she too wanted to move back ot the only place her family found happyness. So less thatn a month later we moved back in with my grandfather who was taking care of the Shrine. So here I am now in a place with friends and family, but I'm still not sure I belong on this plain of time." Kagome concluded her story staring into nothingness before being jerked away from her thoughts by a faint sniffling from behind her. She turned to see both Sango and her family hugging one another crying riverss of tears. "Mom, grandfather, Souta? what are you all doing here?" Kagome asked surprised. "Souta said you were home, so I came up here to see if you needed anyting and I got caught up in your story, you never told it with so much detail." her mother said through sniffs of tears. "and we came up to seee what was taking her so long and also got entranced by your tail." her greandfather added. Souta just nodded. Everyone in her family gave her a hug and left wiping tears out of their eyes. Sango was putting the finishing touches to Kagome's hair. "there done. What do you think?" Sango asked. Kagomes hair was pulled back into a tight bun, her blue highlights were intangled with silver and braided and also placed back in the bun which was surrounded by almost white babys breath. "Its beautiful Sango thank you so much!" Kagome said giving her friend a hug. "now its your turn." she said taking Sango's hand and sitting her down and beginning. After a few minuets Sango spoke. "Kagome do you know what that flash of purple light was?" "Actually no I don't. but I wish I did." Kagome answered. "I think I know someone who would. Do you mind if I tell Miroku and Keade?" Sango asked. "go ahead. but do you really think Miroku can help?" Kagome asked amused. "You'd be surprised. he can actually be a big help in situations like this." Sango answered. "alright your done!" Kagome said happily. Sango's hair was down and straight with little red jewels cliped all over it, and her hot pink highlights were crimped. "Stunning!" observed Sango as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. "You can change in here or the bathroom, your choice." Kagome said collecting all her hair things and putting them away. "I'll change in the bathroom." Sango said taking her bag of clothes and closing the bedroom door behind her. (A/N: okay this is going to be a new adjustment were going to start to see and hear both Miroku's and Sango's thoughts and point of views. Oh boy this outta be fun!) 'She was sad, angry, and scared and somehow managed to throw that girl across a hallway without even touching her. How is that possible?' Sango thought wilt putting on her silver hoop earrings and fitting on her platform tennis hoes. She sighed and brushed some hot pink eyeshadow on and exited the bath room. When she arrived at Kagome's door she reached out to knock but the door opened up at the same moment reviling Kagome herself who did a twirl giggling. Sango smiled laughing, and gave her friend a hug. Both girls turned at a knock at the front door. "Well here goes nothing." they both said in unsion, locking their arms together and walking down the stairs to meet the boys in the kitchen.
