Neway, this has some fun stuff I guess… along with some payback to Dragoneyes!! MUAHAHA!!

Disclaimer: Takahashi doesn't write. She makes comics. I don't think her hand's bruised either!!

Chapter 7: Shibuya Mall

"Hey, Kagome!"

The young schoolgirl turned around to see Hojo run up to her.

"Oh… hi." Kagome put on a fake smile. She really wasn't in the mood for him at the moment. The last class of the day had just finished and he wanted to see her now?! What perfect timing!

"Hey! I was wondering if you wanted to go to the dance-"

"Sorry, Hojo." Kagome butted in. "I'm not really in the mood right now. Maybe if you ask later…" Hojo grinned stupidly.

"Sure!" He said with a smile. "See you later!" With that, Hojo ran off in the direction he came. Kagome rolled her eyes. What an idiot! At least she had the rest of the day to herself.

"What was that all about?"

Kagome jumped and turned around. A fairly curious looking Inuyasha leaned against the locker next to hers. Kagome smiled slightly.

"Oh, it was nothing." She replied with a grin. Inuyasha narrowed his eyes in suspicion.

"Oh, I think it was." He growled, poking her in the shoulder. "Did Hojo ask you to the dance?" Kagome nodded sadly. The demon's ears perked in interest. "And you said…?" Kagome smiled.

"Yes." She lied.

"WHAT?!" Kagome cocked her head to the side.

"You have a problem with that, Inuyasha?" She teased. Inuyasha's face went bright red.

"N-no!" He stuttered. "I-I just thought you hated him!" Kagome giggled.

"I'm just joking Inuyasha!" She said with a smile. "Why? Are you jealous?"

"Like hell I am!"

"Riiight." She said, rolling her eyes. Inuyasha frowned.

"So when is this dance anyway?" He asked. Kagome rolled her eyes.

"It's the same day as my party, dummy!" She huffed. "We're not going!" Inuyasha raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? Says who?" Kagome frowned.

"You mean…" Kagome put on a puppy-dog face. "You don't want to be with me on my birthday?" Inuyasha immediately started to blush.

"K-Kagome! I didn't say that!!" He stuttered. "Why would ditch my best friend for a slut-bag?" Kagome sniffed as a joke and shrugged. "C'mon. Miroku and the others are waiting. Kagome closed her locker and followed.

& & & & &

"Inuyasha! Kagome! Over here!"

The two students turned the corner to see Miroku and Sango waving to them.

"There you are!" Sango said, running over to them. "Come on! We have to go to the mall now!!"

"The mall?" The two friends gave Sango a bewildered look.

"I didn't think you were that type of person, Sango." Inuyasha muttered. Sango shook her head.

"I'm not." She said. "I'm only going for the fries." Inuyasha raised his eyebrow in question. "Everyone else is shopping for Kagome." She then turned to Kagome. "You're coming too, of course. You can hang with me." Kagome nodded happily.

"Let's go then!" She said happily. "Kouga and Ayame are waiting for us!!"

Inuyasha watched in surprise as the other two students dragged Kagome away. As if out of instinct, he followed close behind, ignoring the cries of help from Kagome.

& & & & &

"Welcome, Inuyasha, to the Shibuya mall!"

Inuyasha stared at the building in awe. This was the biggest mall he had ever been to! And that's saying a lot, coming from the son of a celebrity.

"Holy shit! It's huge!" He cried.

"Yep!" Kagome said walking up beside him. "And this is only the first two floors." The demon shook his head in disbelief.

"Damn this is big…" He muttered. "Have you gotten lost in here?"

"Yep." Kagome said. "Each time we come here we always manage to find a new store." Inuyasha grinned.

"I'm definitely going to love this place." He said.

"I'll come with you, Inuyasha." She said. "You coming Sango?"

"Of course I am!" She replied with a grin. "Why wouldn't I?"

"French fries." The two replied flatly. Sango scowled at them, while Miroku chuckled.

"You guys go on. I'll look for Kouga and Ayame." Miroku said before heading up an escalator.

"See ya!" Kagome called, waving at the lecherous teen, who smiled and waved back. Inuyasha then turn to Kagome.

"Why do you hang with that guy if he always strokes your rear?" Kagome shrugged.

"I'm not sure. He wasn't a perv that before high school though." Sango rolled her eyes.

"It's hormones." She growled, glaring off in the direction Miroku had gone. Inuyasha chuckled lightly.

"Yep. No doubt about that." He laughed. "C'mon. I want some french-fries." Sango's eyes lit up.

"We're off!" She cried, dragging the two unsuspecting teens further into the mall.

& & & & &

"Hey, Kagome?"

The young schoolgirl turned to her friend in question.

"Do you have any funny childhood memories with you and Inuyasha?" Kagome giggled and Inuyasha couldn't help but smile.

"Actually…" Kagome started, still laughing. "We did end up lost in a mall once. Sango's eyes widened in interest.

"Ooh! Tell me more!" She said, popping a french-fry into her mouth.

"Well… it all started when Kagome saw this toy…" Inuyasha said. Kagome soon elbowed him in the gut.

"You saw the toy, Inuyasha!" She growled. "You wanted to show me!"

"No, you did." He countered.

"No, you!"

"You!"

"You!"

"Shut up, both of you!" Sango yelled, causing them both to freeze and many others to stare. "I get the point! Just… keep going!"

"Oh wait!" Kagome cried. "It was ramen!" Inuyasha smiled.

"Okay. That I can agree I did." He said, stealing some of Kagome's poutine. He watched in amusement as Kagome started to pout.

"I take it you got lost more than once?" Sango said, rolling her eyes. Her two friends nodded as if it were no big deal. "So, how did you get out of that mess?" Sango asked.

"Sessh found us." Inuyasha replied flatly. "We did the puppy-dog eyes technique on both the chefs at the ramen parlor and Sesshomaru." Kagome smiled.

"Yep. When you're five and you say that you're lost, anyone will fall for that trick."

"So you got free ramen out of it?" Sango asked, bewildered. The two nodded, wide grins on their faces.

"It had to be the best day of my life…" Inuyasha murmured as he gazed off into space, his head propped up on his elbow. Kagome giggled and stole some of Inuyasha's fries.

"Hey!" He protested. Kagome smiled innocently.

"Revenge." She said sweetly before turning back to the poutine that she and Sango were splitting. The demon growled quietly.

"Sango! Kagome! Inuyasha!"

The three teens turned their heads to see the rest of their group walk towards them.

"Well, well… hey there, Inuyasha!" Kouga said with a lazy grin.

"Where were you guys?" Inuyasha asked, his grudge against Kagome fading away.

"Shopping for Kagome." Ayame said, showing the bags she was holding. Kagome's eyes lit up immediately.

"Ooh! Really?" She asked, glancing at the bags. Ayame smiled.

"Well, a lot of this is for me." She explained. "It will make it harder to find your gift. Kagome sighed.

"Figures." She muttered, leaning back in her chair. Inuyasha used this moment to his advantage and stole some more poutine. "Hey! Who said you could take that?!"

"Me." He replied simply. Kagome huffed and started to sulk once again.

"Hey!" Sango snapped at Inuyasha. "She paid for this with my own money! Quit stealing it!" Miroku stifled his laughter while Kouga and Ayame chuckled quietly.

"Very clever, Sango." Miroku said, sitting down beside her. "How do you do it?" Sango's eyes soon went wide and a loud crack rang through the mall.

"Touch me like that again and I'll shove this poutine in your face!" She snarled. Miroku, who already had a throbbing red pain on his face, nodded and inched away from her.

"I say we go look around!" Inuyasha said standing up. Kagome and Ayame nodded and followed him.

"Kouga, hold these, will you?" Before Kouga could protest, Ayame had shoved the twenty or so bags into his arms. The wolf demon, letting out a sigh, placed the bags next to the table and sat across from Sango and Miroku, watching in amusement as Sango completely told him off.

& & & & &

"Aww!! Look at how cute he is!!"

"I love his ears!"

"Isn't he the cutest puppy ever?!"

Inuyasha immediately flattened his ears against his skull. He really didn't need this right now! He, Kagome and Ayame had traveled up a couple of floors just for the heck of it, and as they walked the pet store, they ran into a group of girls. (did I trick anybody? Guess not) As if out of girlish instinct, they swarm of females had surrounded him, trying to get either a quick touch of his ear or a phone number. So far, he hadn't given either.

"Kagome!" He called. "I could really use your help right about now!!" Every single one of the girls froze.

"He's… taken?" one of them whined.

"No! He's too cute!!" Another cried.

"I wanted him!!"

"That's got to be the luckiest girl ever!"

The group of girls dispersed, leaving a shocked Inuyasha in the middle of the hallway.

"Well… that's a relief…" He muttered. Kagome smiled sweetly at him.

"I can't blame them, though." She said. "You're just like a puppy dog to them! How could they possibly resist?" Kagome tweaked his ear for effect, despite Inuyasha's protests.

"Hey! Who said you could touch my ears?" Kagome smirked.

"Me." She replied. The demon scowled. She was getting good when it came to revenge.

"It was just a couple of french-fries, Kagome!" He snapped.

"You stole my poutine first!" She shot back. Inuyasha sighed in frustration.

"Ooh!" Ayame squealed. "How cute! You finally had your first fight in your relationship!" Both Inuyasha and Kagome's heads snapped around to face her.

"What?!" They cried. "We're NOT together!!" Ayame rolled her eyes.

"Of course you aren't." She said tauntingly. Kagome continued to blush while Inuyasha looked like he would strangle her any minute. Ayame smiled evilly.

"I swear, Ayame!" Kagome growled. "I'm the only thing holding Inuyasha back from killing you. If you don't stop, I'll sick him on you!"

"Oh! So now he's your pet?" She said, her eyes shining with an evil glint. Kagome winced. She didn't see that coming.

"No-" Kagome was interrupted by Ayame once again.

"He's your little Inupochi!" (lolz D238 Muahaha!!!) She cried, tweaking Inuyasha's ear. Both Inuyasha and Kagome felt their cheeks go red from embarrassment.

"Inuyasha?"

"Yeah?"

"Sick -em."

Ayame's eyes went wide in fear.

"OOH! Is that ramen?" The two turned around and found their eyes rest on a lingerie store. The two turned back to Ayame, who to their surprise, was gone.

"Hey! No fair! She got a head start!" Inuyasha snapped and started after the wolf, Kagome at his heels. They turned a corner to find Ayame in an odd predicament.

"Anybody move and I'll kill her!"

Okay… maybe odd wasn't the right word…

TBC…

Okay! That was very painful! HAPPY?! My poor, purple sprained fingers.
