Chapter 5

"So what are the plans for today?"

"Um, wanna go shopping?"

"Guys like to go shopping?"

He shrugged, "Guess so."

So 20 minutes later they were out the door. Of course most of that 20 minutes was token by Kagome going to home and getting a change of clothes. "Girls are so slow!" he mumbled.

Then they were caught in a heated debate. Kagome wanted to take her car but Inu-Yasha wanted to take his.

"I'm not riding your motorcycle! We cant shop and then ride a motorcycle home!!"

"Ok, then I will take my other car." He took his keys out and pressed the garage button. The door opened slowly revealing 2 cars. A red one and a white one. The red one was far cooler. (Imagine your favourite convertible sorta race car here cus I don't know shit all about cars) She knew that the red one was Inu-Yasha's, it had to be.

Without thinking she hopped into the car. "It's settled then? I'm driving." then he followed her and hopped in himself.

He pressed onto the gas so hard that Kagome felt herself jerk backwards and couldn't pull her head off the seat. She clutched the seat, almost ripping the chair. "Ca-can you maybe slow down just a little?" she was scared out of her mind.

"Why? I'm only 50 kilometers over the speed limit." She just about fainted. She was going to die! She was going to die before was married, had kids, even finished school.

To her relief they arrived at the mall in one piece. She was still scared and her whole body shook as she got out of the car. She felt like when you just got off your first scary ride, your scared for at least 5 minutes after its done.

"You coming?" he asked.

"Yeah, just... trying to collect myself, give me a second." She staggered a but and then joined him.

"Where shall we go first?" he asked.

"I really want knew clothes. Can we go clothes shopping?"

He wrinkled his nose, "Please?" she put on her most innocent puppy eyed face.

"Fine."

"YaY!" she hugged him in thanks and then went excitedly running into the mall. He suddenly regretted taking her to the mall. Girls are scary when they shop.

She started at a sort of gothic feeling clothes store. It was like punk clothes and then some normal clothes and gothic clothes. He was glad she picked this store.

He went to the guys section and began to pick out black pairs of pants and white and red tee-shirts. He looked over to Kagome. She seemed to be running a mile a minute. She was on fire. She gracefully ran from one rack to another, picking up everything she thought was cool, and then headed for the changing room.

Inu-Yasha tried on all the clothes he picked out and ended up buying 3 tee-shirts and 2 pairs of pants. Then he sat outside the changing rooms to wait for her.

"I'm not to sure about this one, can I show you it and you tell me what you think?"

"Kay, but hurry up in there."

She walked out and his jaw almost it the floor. She was so sexy but in a punkish sort of way, not preppy. She was wearing a black tank top and a short black skirt. He could see every curve in her body and it was turning him on. "Well?" she asked, blushing a little from his attention to her body.

"Uhhhhhh, oh, yeah, it looks fine." He smiled and she walked back into the changing room.

'I don't think I will be able to control myself if she wears that a lot.' He thought.

She came out and ended up buying the clothes she showed him along with 5 other shirts and 3 pairs of pants.

"Buying enough?"

She giggled, "I've been saving up for clothes for about a year now but I just never got around to it.

By this time it was lunch. They both went their separate ways and got what they wanted to eat then met each other in the food court. Inu-Yasha ordered from Dairy Queen and Kagome got Ms.Vanellis. ( I don't think I spelt that right and I'm pretty sure they don't have that in Japan but I don't know what they have in Japan.)

"Can you explain the band name to me?."

He gulped what he had in his mouth and replied, "The Demons?"

She laughed, "Where did you get that idea from?"

"It's like an insider, you'd have to be there to get it," he lied.

"So how do you guys dress up for concerts?"

"We picked out different kinds of demons and dressed sort of like that. I picked dog so I.....bought dog ears and Sess also picked dog but he uses this fluffy tail and then face makeup. Sango picked cat and she dresses sort of like her cat Kirara but she doesn't wear yellow. And Miroku dressed like a cat hoping to get closer to Sango. So you can dress like anything you want."

She nodded and then instantly began thinking about what she would want to be. "I want to be a dog like you and Sesshomaru. Is that ok?"

"Yeah."

"When is our concert thing again?"

"About a month."

"Well then, I better get shopping for a costume." She got up and then three her garbage away. "Are you coming?"

It took her a while but she found the perfect costume. She found white doggy ears that were attached to a head band and then she found a collar and decided that for the concert she would wear one of her new outfits. She was so excited for the concert even though it was a month away. She wished it was sooner.

She had to get home to her dismay. It was about 4 o'clock. She told her mom that she would be home before 5. He dropped her off and said his goodbyes with a brief kiss.

"Maybe we can do something after I eat."

"Yeah, maybe." He kissed her again and she walked into her house.

Inu-Yasha walked into his room and began to take some boxes downstairs. As he did he passed his calendar. 'I should find out the specific date of the battle of the bands for Kagome.' So he paused to look. He found today and counted the days. 34 days left. The he looked back at today.

"SHIT!" he exclaimed. He yelled once again in frustration. The day had been going so well until this moment.

By the time summer had come Inu-Yasha had moved all of his boxes into his new room in the basement.

Higurashi Shrine

She looked outward to the window. She searched the skies but couldn't see the moon. "It's a new moon tonight." She decided that now she could phone Inu-Yasha. She had waited a while because she didn't wanna seem to desperate or anything.

BRING BRING

"Hello?"

"Hey Inu-Yasha. Do you still wanna do something with me?"

"Um, Sorry, I'm not really feeling like myself and I look like shit."

"Oh, Okay. Maybe another time then?"

"Definitely."

"Okay, Bye."

"Bye."

He hung up and looked at himself in the mirror. His dark hair and dark eyes, the day that he hated most just had to be today didn't it?

Monday

Kagome and Inu-Yasha were unable to see each other again that weekend. Her mom had put her to work and so Inu-Yasha arranged his room. Their mourning hadn't been any different that any other day. But lunch is when it started.

"Have you heard?"

'She's out of juvy."

"Are you serious?"

"I gotta tell Inu-Yasha."

The gossip went through the whole school and yet somehow it never got to Inu-Yasha. Not until someone of course, told him.

"Inu-Yasha!" this boy with red hair yelled. He looked scared.

"What's wrong Shippo?"

"Kikyo is out."

Inu-Yasha looked like he might loose his lunch.

"Thought you might want to know."

"Yeah...yeah thanks Shippo." Then the boy ran off with his friends.

"Inu-Yasha? What's wrong?" Kagome asked. She had no idea what was going on or who Shippo or Kikyo was.

He was silent for a minute. "Kikyo is out of Juvy."

"Who is Kikyo?"

"Remember I told you I had a girlfriend in high school? That's her."

"Why are you afraid?"

"Keh... I'm not afraid." But his eyes showed her otherwise.

"Tell me what happened."

"It was just after we broke up."

FLASH BACK!!! WOOHOOO

It was summer. 16 year old Inu-Yasha was playing his guitar in his garage. Clearly they didn't have the studio then. The garage door was open. A girl, the same age as him, with long black hair and cold brown eyes walked up the drive way.

"What are you doing here Kikyo? I told you not to bother me ever again." He put down his guitar.

"I know what you told me but I miss you Inu-Yasha. Will you take me back?" she stopped 2 feet in front of him.

He made a pose as if he was thinking about it and then said, "No." and walked away.

"I really think you should reconsider." She gritted between her teeth.

"Keh, no way in hell bitch."

Next thing he knew, he had been shot in the arm. It seemed to be a dart and it made him really sleepy. He collapsed onto the grass.

When he awoke he found himself tied to a tree in the middle of nowhere with chains. He seemed still to be drugged and slowly lost consciousness again.

END Of FLASH BACK

"I was stuck there for 3 days before someone found me. Kikyo was sent to juvenile hall and now she's out. Before she went she vowed to kill me when she got out. She wants me to go to hell she says."

Kagome now felt sick. She couldn't believe anybody could be like that. "I'm so sorry Inu-Yasha." She said and held onto his hand.

"Don't be, there's nothing you should be sorry for."

"Do...do you think she will come looking for you?"

"More than defiantly. She was a crazy bitch before, who knows what juvy did to her. And Kagome...... I don't want you to leave the house without me. If she finds out that were together....." he shook his head.

She nodded, all of the sudden really realizing the situation. She was terrified to say the least. She inhaled deeply. He noticed her worry, "Don't worry, I wont let anything happen to you while I'm here."

She didn't know why but that made her feel calmer and safer.

Inu-Yasha's house for Practice

They were rocking out. The music took his and her mind off of Kikyo. They were really getting good now.

"Alright, good job you guys. We only have about 30 days left for practice so we need to really get the rough spots out. There aren't many but they could mean our defeat. Alright, next practice will be on Wednesday."

Kagome watched as they left. She noticed something different though, something wasn't quite right. Miroku and Sango were holding hands. She was happy for them but it was still really weird. She never thought that Sango liked Miroku; she always slapped him when he got to friendly.

She walked over to put her guitar away. A cord from the bass guitar was laying on the ground and she wasn't that graceful.....so she tripped on it.

She flew into the wall and felt it collapse under her.

"Oh no I broke the wall." She looked up and realized that she had pushed the secret door open. She looked behind her, Inu-Yasha still wasn't back from going to the bathroom. She sat herself up and looked around.

The walls were red like she had seen but now it seemed like there was more furniture. She knew instantly what this room was. It was obviously Inu-Yasha's room. Everything about it screamed 'Inu-Yasha' from the posters on the walls to the bed spread. She wondered why he liked red so much. She looked to at the desk nearby. There were pictures on it. It must have been Halloween or something. Inu-Yasha had little dog ears on. He was about 7 she would guess. The boy next to him must be Sesshomaru. He had a big fluffy tail and strange markings on his face. Then there was a man with them. He had the same white hair and golden eyes. It had to be their father. He also had a tail and markings on his face. She thought it was cute how they all dressed as the same thing. She would have to ask for a copy of that picture. She again started to look around the room. She sat on his bed, feeling the red fabric. 'What is this made out of?' She looked in the inside of it. There was a little inscription written inside it. It said, 'To my beloved Son Inu-Yasha. May you be safe and unharmed with the fire rat close by.'

'What?' That didn't make much sense to her. It must mean something to Inu-Yasha to keep it.

. As she was going out she saw something. It was a picture.

She looked at it. It was her. He had drawn a picture of her. This wasn't the one from school. In fact it was dated the day after he drew the first. Then she noticed the hearts around her. He apparently had a crush on her. She laughed and walked out, closed the door, and went back to putting her guitar away. 'I wonder why he didn't show me his room before.'

MEANWHILE

"I'm gonna kill that son of a bitch if it's the last thing it do." He could have sworn her eyes just turned red for a second. "I'm going to need your best people, inform Kagura and Kannah. Then send for the wolves."

HAHA! Yeah thanks for all the reviews. You guys are awesome! Yeah, still to come, the real importance of that room. It may be more than it appears! HAHA. Plus who were the 2 people at the end? You can probably guess already but.. I like to keep you hanging. I seem to be suffering from writers block lately so don't be surprised if it takes me a couple days to get the next chapter in. Oh Yeah. This is my longest story yet! It's a whole 26 pages long. It only passes my longest one by 4 pages but still. AHAHA. I'm still happy. I'm thinking of putting one of my already finished ones on the site but I'm not sure. This has to be my best story yet but that's by my opinion. Well please review and I will get back to you.
