A/N- It didn't take me as long to update this so don't be mad at me! It's a little on the short side but I hope you like it anyways and if there is anything you want to happen in this fic then tell me in your review or e- mail at sessinu@hotmail.com I just might make it happen. ^_^

Disclaimer- I hate these stupid things. (grumbles under her breath) I don't own Inuyasha and crew so in lamest terms your not aloud to sue me! I'm broke anyways.

Just One of those Years Chapter five- Three Strikes and You're Out

Kagome stumbled out of the blue sports car. Rather shaken, the girl's knees gave out and she found herself on the ground. Kagome looked at the cemented parking lot rather fondly, the same way Kikyo was. It was the grateful look people normally get after a near death experience.

"Come on you guys, my driving isn't that bad! Such drama queens!" Sango scowled at the two girls. Pulling them both to their feet, she dragged them into the mall. Once inside they were able to relax somewhat.

"Let's go in there", Kikyo pointed to one of the many shops.

Kagome wrinkled her nose in distaste. "Too fancy for my liking, I'll be in the one across from it."

There was actually nothing real fancy about the shop but it had 'expensive' written all over it and she didn't have a lot of money. Sighing, Kagome entered the small clothes store.

"Can I help you", a male voice asked.

Kagome turned around surprised to see Miroku there. "You work here???" She asked in disbelief.

The boy shrugged. "It puts food on the table..So was there anything in particular you're looking for?"

"I just need to get something for Inuyasha's party."

Miroku gave a sly grin. "Then I have just the thing for you."

*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Sesshomaru-sama, isn't that Uncle Miroku?"

The boy's eyebrow twitched involuntarily. The reason as to why is younger sister called Miroku, uncle was still beyond him. Rin was pointing to a black haired boy in a girl's clothe store. Surely enough it was Miroku. The older boy sighed in annoyance.

"Can we go in there", Rin asked.

Nodding, Sesshomaru followed her in.

*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kagome frowned as she double checked herself in the dressing room mirror. The shirt was rather tight. Make that very tight.

"The skirt is rather fitted but it's the shirt I don't like, it's a little revealing!" Kagome yelled over to Miroku.

"Well come out and let me see", he yelled back.

"No!"

"Come on Kag, I'm sure it's not that bad!"

"No!"

"If you don't come out I'll just use my key to get in there!"

Huffing, Kagome came out of the stall.

"Uncle Miroku", a little girl called.

Both teenagers directed their attention towards the sudden outburst. Kagome turned three nice shades of red as she noticed who the little girl was accompanied by. Trying the handle of the dressing room, she realized she had left it locked.

"Miroku-kun, can you unlock this; I'm ready to change back into my own clothes!" The request had come out more like a plea.

Miroku frowned. "At least turn around at let me see what it looks like on you!"

Kagome gritted her teeth. "I'll buy it! Just let me change back. You can check me out all you want at the party!"

Sesshomaru watched on in amusement as Kagome did her best to hide herself from view. Miroku folded his arms across his chest.

"Quit being a baby Kag and turn around."

Reluctantly she did as told. Miroku's jaw dropped to the ground while Sesshomaru's hungry eyes scanned Kagome from head to toe. She looked more than good. Miroku was brought back to the present by an approaching customer. Helping the young girl get something off one of the shelves, he left Sesshomaru with Kagome.

Rin was off somewhere playing hide and seek in the clothes racks. Poor Kagome was still left with no key to open her dressing room door. Folding her arms, she looked to the other boy.

"You can quit drooling now, fluffy."

Brought out of his daze, Sesshomaru frowned.

"I've noticed you put on some extra weight", he commented off-handedly.

"I did not!" Kagome checked herself in one of the mirrors. She frowned as she heard him snicker. "That's not funny, Sesshomaru!"

Deciding to ignore him, she tried the stall handle again. Giving up, she got on her hands and knees.

"What are you doing, brat?" He asked somewhat curiously.

Still ignoring him, Kagome crawled in between the space of the stall door. It was just tall enough for her to fit. The fact that she was wearing a skirt made no difference to her. Once inside she was able to change back into her own clothes. Finally out of the stall, she was greeted by a grinning Sesshomaru.

'Okay, since when did fluffy grin?' Kagome sweat-dropped.

Remembering what she had been wearing when she had so wisely got on her hands and knees made her blush furiously. Shoving past Sesshomaru, Kagome tossed the outfit back to Miroku.

"I change my mind, I don't want it!" Storming away, she left.

Raising a brow, Sesshomaru walked over to one of the counters.

"I'll pay for the outfit", he stated calmly.

Miroku smiled in that perverted way of his. "I don't think this one quite suits you, perhaps-"

"Not for me you idiot." Sesshomaru cut him off with a growl.

*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sango and Kikyo left the shop with many bags in hand. The two girls beamed at Kagome.

"Find anything yet?"

Kagome shook her head. "I'm sure I'll find something lying around in my closet."

Kikyo looked thoughtful all of a sudden. "Hey, isn't that Sesshomaru-san?" She pointed towards the white haired boy whom at a young girl trailing after him.

Sango frowned. "Wasn't that a chic shop, he just walked out of?"

Kagome grinned slyly.

"Didn't you know? Sesshomaru-chan is a cross dresser!"

The two girls face fault. "You're horrible Kag", Sango mumbled.

"He's coming this way", Kikyo whispered.

Sighing, Kagome turned around, coming face to face with Sesshomaru.

"Aren't you done bugging me?"

Frowning, he thrust the shopping bag into her hand. Kagome winced at his fast movements. This time Sesshomaru wasn't the only one to notice. Miroku whom was off work now, seen it as well. Furrowing his brows, he turned to the other boy in question.

"I'm driving you home", Sesshomaru stated.

He looked to Kagome's friends to see if they would argue with him about it. They didn't. Smiling, Kikyo and Sango waved good-bye to Kagome, obviously thinking that they were doing her a favor.

"Come on, we're leaving."

A/N- It seems that all my characters have problems with dressing rooms in my fics. Well this was all very interesting, I hadn't had planned to end the chapter like that. Well please review and tell me what you think of my fic so far.

Ja ne for now. ^_^
