Waiting For You

Chapter 6

Trip To The Mall

Monday was the first day Kagome and everyone started there first year as seniors at Shikon High School, now it was Saturday morning. Kagome during the week started to become the best of friends with the girl named Sango, she had helped Kagome find her classes and by Thursday she actually arrived on time to her classes (surprising, no?) Miroku and Kagome had grown a bit close, but he still kept his distance every now and then ever since the 'little occurrence' the first day. Kagome had been able to ignore Kikyo most of the week, every now and then they would pass by each other in the hall and of course archery, though all they did was give each other glares and go back to there business. Finally with Inuyasha and Kagome...well nothing much changed between them, they either ignored each other completely or screamed their heads off at the other. Whichever came first.

Now a minute or two ago Sango called Kagome saying she was on her way to pick her up, also with a small surprise. Kagome just ignored most of the call, as she sat up from her bed and had gotten dressed. She wore a dark red tank top showing just a bit of cleavage, a blue-jean skirt that reached just above mid thigh, and brown sandals with a small heel. Kagome took out a red bandana from a drawer at her desk and put it on as she opened the door and began walking down the stairs.

"Good morning, sweetie. I rarely see you up this early..." Kagome's mom greeted the young girl as she walked in the kitchen and grabbed a piece of toast. Souta sat at the kitchen table eating his breakfast; he had a few bumps on his head from a couple of days ago. (I don't think I need to say how he got them...coughkagomecough)

"Morning, mom..." Kagome yawned at the same time a car horn was heard from outside.

"...nice one, sis..." Souta said laughing a bit as Kagome just glared at him for a second.

"That's Sango, I better be going...see ya mom." Kagome left quickly out the door without waiting for a response as she walked up to the car in front of the shrine. It was probably a 2000, (but who cares, it's a car) silver mustang.

"Nice car, Sango..." Kagome said getting in next to Sango in the passengers seat.

"Thanks, so you ready?"

"Yeah. Though what's the surprise?"

"You'll find out."

"Sure..."

After a quick drive, with Sango going over the speed limit and under it a few times which annoyed Kagome a bit, they finally reached Nenju Mall. Sango dragged Kagome out of the car and towards the entrance exactly knowing where to go. Kagome just looked confused as she followed/ was dragged to come in front of a dress shop, with none other than Inuyasha and Miroku standing in front of the shop.

"Ok, Kagome..." Sango said finally letting go of her arm. "...We're here."

"A dress shop? I don't need a dress and what are the guys doing here?" Kagome said as she pointed to Inuyasha and Miroku.

"Feh...I'd like to know the same thing...Miroku what are 'we' doing here?"

"Well we're going to watch as the girls model dresses for us, right Sango dear?"

"WHAT?!" Both Kagome and Inuyasha yelled together.

"Sango, what is going on here?" Kagome asked forcing a grin.

"Well it's September right now, and in a month Homecoming is taking place. We need to buy dresses for it don't we?"

"Correction, you need to buy a dress, I'm not going..."

"Aww...please, Kagome..." Sango asked pleadingly with the saddest eyes in the world.

"No."

"Please."

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

30 minutes later...

"Please, Kagome. You can't keep saying 'no' forever."

"Yes, I can."

"Ha, you said yes...now lets go..." Sango grabbed onto Kagome and threw her towards a bunch of dresses. The guys just sighed as they walked in after Sango and Kagome, not caring any more.

"Sango, you can't make me go. Any way I don't even have a date!"

"Don't worry, we'll go together as friends. We won't have to worry about dates."

"Well...as long as I don't dance..."

"But..."

"Ok, Sango. I'll go as long as I don't have to dance, promise?" Kagome asked this time with fake tears coming to her eyes, Sango couldn't help but give in.

"Ok, promise." Sango said giving a small smile her fingers crossed behind her back. (childish, but who cares? Well maybe some one does...)

Kagome and Sango both began to laugh and talk like crazy like nothing had just happened as each of them grabbed two different dresses. They walked towards the dressing room as the boys followed behind, Miroku looked extremely happy almost clapping his hands while Inuyasha just slumped not even looking up as he mumbled under his breath. After about 5 minutes, Sango was the first to open the door and walk out; Miroku began jumping up and down with joy as if he was 3 years old.

Sango wore a small black dress that went to right above her knee; a slit was on the right side of the dress coming up to above mid thigh. The black straps on the dress that held it up went up, around her neck and down her back a small design on the back of it. It showed much cleavage (which Miroku liked 'a lot') and finally she picked out silver high-heel shoes to wear with it in which straps were on the shoes spiraling a couple inches up her leg. (A/N: sorry if I'm not good at describing outfits very well, I'm not one for fancy clothes...and especially describing them...)

"So what do you think?" Sango asked twirling around a couple times.

"You look gorgeous, outstandingly beautiful, even better than..." Miroku began but Inuyasha finished.

"You look ok...now can we go?"

"Don't you want to see me, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as she stepped out of the dressing room. She wore a fancy kimono type outfit; it was a dark blue that matched perfectly with her eyes. Gold designs were sown all over the kimono it was also outlined in gold on the collar and everything. It came up to mid thigh and at her shoulders and at the base of her neck. Right below her neck, part of the kimono was cut out resembling a shape of a teardrop. She finally wore dark blue shoes that strapped around her ankles with just a small heel on it.

"So, Inuyasha..." Kagome started twirling around just like Sango had done. "...What do you think?"

"You look..." Inuyasha just stared as he almost drooled. She stopped for a second and walked up to him looking a bit sad.

"You're not saying anything...is it really that bad?"

"No, not at all...yo...you...lo...look incredible..." Inuyasha gulped as he looked down at her she was now just a couple inches away from him. Kagome formed a huge grin on her face, looking at the blushing Inuyasha.

"So shall we go try on the others?" Kagome asked the smile still on her face as she side glanced over to Sango.

"Sure...though let's just wait a bit to show the guys, shall we?"

"Sounds good to me..." Kagome laughed with Sango as they walked back into the dressing room.

"Aw...but Sango dear, don't I get the whole package?" Miroku whimpered.

"Shut the hell up, Houshi!" Sango yelled from inside the room. After about a couple more minutes of the guys just waiting (Inuyasha's out of his trance, now), and giggling from the girls they walked out of the dressing room together. The new dresses in there hands, as they walked over to the register.

"This may be fun after all, Sango." Kagome smiled.

A/N: I actually liked Kagome's outfit...but I'll figure out something better for her to wear to Homecoming...I hope so any way. Homecoming is fun, wonder if they have it in Japan? Probably not but any way, Sango's going to get a date and Kagome's left alone...for now -; I'm trying to figure out what to do. Thanks for the reviews and I completely forgot about the picture, whoops but now I got an idea thanks to the review reminding me about it. It won't come up for a while and Kagome may not even be the one to find the picture. Well see ya and please, please Review!

Oh and just to say with the mall that Kagome, Sango, Inuyasha, and Miroku go to the word Nenju means prayer beads in Japanese, if any one wanted to know...probably not but hey just incase.
