Chapter Ten- A Day of Shopping

When they all arrived in Kagome's time, they walked into the house to find a soaking wet Hiei standing in the middle of the living room. He turned angrily to Kagome and said, "I hate you."

Kagome smiled at him. "Uh huh. Sure Hiei. Now where is he?"

"Hn." He pointed to the locked closet. They all heard someone knocking on the door and yelling.

Kagome's eyes widened for a millisecond and then narrowed angrily at Hiei. "You locked him in a closet!?! How dare you?" She ran and opened the closet and Shippou immediately tackled her. With that done, she turned back to Hiei. She set Shippou down and moved toward the now terrified koorime. "Hiei, you are so dead." His eyes widened and he suddenly disappeared. Kagome looked surprised for a second before yelling, "Hiei! Get your demon butt back here!"

Yusuke laid a hand on her shoulder and said, "Calm down Kagome. He didn't hurt Shippou. And the kid probably deserved it. There had to be some reason for Hiei being wet."

Kagome sighed. "You're right. I should have seen it before." She turned to the kit. "Shippou-chan, what did you do to Hiei?"

"I just poured a bucket of cold water on him."

Kagome sighed again. She walked outside and found Hiei sitting in the Goshinboku. "Hiei?" He just turned his head way from her, not saying anything. "Hiei, I wanted to apologize. I can't blame you for locking him in the closet. If he had done that to me, I probably would to." Hiei turned back to her and nodded. "Does that mean you forgive me?"

"Yes." He grinned at her and said, "But if you ever leave me alone with him again I will not guarantee his safety."

Kagome nodded. "Right. Well, come on. We have to get everyone else and go shopping."

"Why do I have to go?" Kagome pouted at him and he sighed. "I'll go. But, you have to stop doing that."

"Deal." She grabbed his hand and pulled him back inside. When they stepped into the living room, they noticed Inuyasha and Kouga were about to start fighting. "Don't even think about fighting in my house." Both of them turned at her voice and their eyes immediately flew to the linked hands of Kagome and Hiei.

At the same time, they both yelled, "What the hell? Get away from Kagome!"

Kagome cocked her head at them and asked, "Huh? What are you tal- Oh!" She immediately dropped Hiei's hand and blushed.

Hiei glared at the two and crossed his arms. "Who is he?"

"This is Kouga. Now, come on you guys, we have to go shopping. Inuyasha, Miroku, and Kouga, you guys will have to borrow some of my father's old clothes. Sango, you can borrow some of mine. Follow me."

Kagome led them up the stairs and stopped at the top. "Sango-chan, that's my room. You can go and pick out some clothes. I'll be there in a minute. I have to help these guys first." Sango nodded and walked into Kagome's room. Kagome continued walking until they reached a locked door. Kagome reached up to the top of the door frame and ran her hand along it until she found a key. Before she unlocked the door she said, "You guys are not to touch anything. Everything in this room belonged to my father. When he died, my mom put everything in this room. She knows where every single item is in there. If anything is broken or missing, she will know and it will be your death. This is your only warning."

The three gulped and followed Kagome in the room. She led them to the back wall where the closet was. She opened it and inside was all of her father's clothes. She looked through them and grabbed three shirts, three pairs of pants, and everything else the guys would need. She told them to take turns changing in the bathroom while she helped Sango. She left them in the hall and walked into her room to find Sango looking through her closet.

"Have you found anything yet, Sango-chan?"

Sango looked up and shook her head. "I would prefer to wear pants, but you're shorter than me, so the pants are too."

Kagome nodded in understanding and then smiled. "Hold on a sec, I've got a pair of pants around here somewhere that were too big for me. Those might fit you." She rummaged around in the closet before pulling out a pair of steel grey pants. "Why don't you go try these on while I find you a shirt." Sango went into Kagome's bathroom to change. Kagome quickly found a hunter green shirt and slipped it through the bathroom door to her friend. A few minutes later, Sango emerged and Kagome whistled. "You look excellent in that, Sango-chan!" She turned to her open window. "What do you think Hiei?"

Sango looked over at the window to see Hiei sitting in the tree and looking her over. "She looks nice," he said. (he didn't want to make Kagome mad by insulting her friend)

"Wow, Sango-chan. Hiei complimented you. I think that's a first. You should feel proud that you've been complimented by the biggest ego maniac in the world." She then checked her watch and said, "We'll leave after I change real quick."

Kagome grabbed a pair of jeans and a black shirt that said, "It's Only Funny Until Somebody Gets Hurt, Then It's Hilarious." She went to change and came out a few minutes later. "Umm, Sango-chan? I don't think I have any shoes that will fit you."

"That's okay. I can wear the boots that I wear with my exterminating outfit."

Kagome nodded. "Well, come on you two. Let's get the others."

>>>Twenty minutes later. At the mall>>>

"Okay, so who's gonna go with who?" Kagome looked around at all of the people in the group and suggested, "How about Sango, Shippou, and Hiei come with me and Kouga, Inuyasha, and Miroku go with Yusuke. How's that?" Everyone but Kouga and Inuyasha were okay with it, so the two were ignored and went off with Yusuke. "So, you want pants right, Sango-chan? No skirts or shorts?"

"I'll get maybe one or two skirts just for the experience of wearing them, alright?"

"Yes! Go Sango!" Kagome smiled happily and led Sango to several stores. They both got a bunch of clothes and then they all went to get some ice cream. After all four of them finished they went to a few stores for Shippou where he bought a few outfits. When they were done with him, Kagome realized that she needed some clothes to fight in during the tournament. "Hey Hiei, do you know where I can get some clothes to fight in?"

He nodded and said, "I know a place, but it's in Makai."

"Can you take me there later this afternoon?"

He shrugged and said, "If you want."

She gave him a hug and chirped, "Thanks Hiei!"

They continued walking around the mall until they met up with the others and then decided to go home. When they got back to the shrine, they noticed that Houjo was talking to Kagome's grandpa in the middle of the grounds. Kagome told everyone to sneak into the house while she took care of the problem. She walked up to the two and said, "Hey, Houjo! What are you doing here?"

The brown haired boy turned to her and smiled. "Hello Kagome. How are you feeling?"

"Great! I felt really good today for some reason so I just got back from the mall!" She held up her bags to prove her point. "So, what are you doing here again? I didn't hear your answer the first time."

"That's because I forgot to give it. Well, I wanted to see if you wanted to go to a movie on Saturday."

"Sorry. I'm leaving tomorrow for a trip. I'll be gone for a month at the most." Suddenly she felt Hiei exit the house. "Besides, I don't think my boyfriend would be happy if I went out with you."

His smile disappeared. "Boyfriend? You have a boyfriend?" Kagome nodded and pointed Hiei out, who was now sitting in the tree next to her room. "How did he get in the tree?"

Kagome shrugged. "I dunno. Maybe he climbed out my window." Hiei looked over at her and rolled his eyes. He jumped down from his branch, much to the shock of Houjo, and started walking towards them.

"How in the world did he manage to land on his feet after a drop of that height?"

He was ignored as Hiei walked up to Kagome and wrapped his arms around her waist. "Who is this, Kagome?"

Kagome smiled at him and said, "This is a friend from school. Houjo meet Hiei. Hiei meet Houjo."

They nodded to each other and Houjo said, "It's nice to meet you. You're very lucky to have a girl like Kagome by your side. Well, I had better go now. Bye." He walked down the steps and when she was sure he was gone, Kagome sighed in relief.

"I'm finally rid of him." She looked down at her waist, where Hiei's arms still were and blushed. "You can let go now Hiei. Oh, and thanks for playing along."

He released her and said, "Hn. Are you ready to go to the Makai?"

"Yep. Did you tell anyone where we were going?" He shook his head. "Then I'll be right back. I have to tell them so they don't destroy half the city looking for me." She ran into the house and was out a few seconds later. "Okay, let's go." Right when they were about to leave, Inuyasha burst out of the house.

"Wench, I'm going with you!"

Kagome sighed. "Hiei, I it alright if he comes?"

"Hn."

"Thanks." She turned back to Inuyasha. "Come on then Inuyasha. We don't have all day!"

He walked up to them and Hiei opened a portal to Makai. They all stepped through and appeared in a room full of weapons. "Holy shit! Where the hell are we?"

A voice from behind them said, "You are in my shop. Hiei I have your swords ready, by the way."

Everyone turned around to find the owner of the voice and Kagome gasped when she realized who it was. "Totousai!" (is that how you spell his name?)

"Ah, Inuyasha, Kagome I haven't seen you two in centuries," the old man said.

Hiei walked up to the counter and Totousai reached on a rack behind him and picked up two swords. He handed them to Hiei and asked, "Why did you need that new sword?" Hiei didn't answer, but instead tossed the sword at Kagome. "Ah, I see." Turning to Inuyasha he said, "Let me see the Tetsusaiga."

Inuyasha threw it to him and Totousai inspected it. "So, how is it, old man?"

"You could take better care of it. It's got nicks all over the blade."

"Kagome, hurry up and get some clothes. We've got to get back soon," Hiei said.

Kagome looked around and chose a few outfits. She was about to pay for them when Totousai told her she could have them. "Thanks Totousai!" They said their goodbyes and then left. They went back to Kagome's house and went to sleep, ready for the tournament that they would leave for in a few days.
