Malls and Moms

CLICK. Sango and Kagome quietly shut the front door of the house and headed down the steps. Kagome was wearing a jean skirt with a red spaghetti strap top. The only difference in Sango's outfit was she was wearing a lime green top. Kagome's purse swung at her side as she and Sango stepped onto the bus outside the Shrine. They found two seats toward the back of the bus and began to chat excitedly as they made their way toward the mall.

"So where are we going first Kagome?" Sango asked as she looked out the window watching cars pass by the bus.

"Well we will need to go to Aeropostale and Abercrombie (don't own)." Kagome said thinking of what color would look best on Sango.

"What are those?" Sango asked.

"Stores." Kagome said.

"Stores and what are those?" Sango asked again.

"Stores are where people in my era go to by clothes and stuff like that." Kagome said while looking at her fingernails, which seemed very interesting at the moment.

"You mean you can just go out and buy your clothes!?" Sango said astonished.

"Well, Yeah where did you think I got all my clothes from?" Kagome asked her astounded friend.

"I thought you made them." Sango added a blush creeping up on her face.

Kagome just laughed and tugged on her arm as the bus came to a halt before a huge building. Sango stepped carefully off the bus as Kagome pulled her toward the door. But Sango wouldn't budge from her spot. She was staring at the size of the mall. Kagome looked to her friend than turned to the mall. "I know it's big, huh." Kagome whispered to Sango. She got a nod in return.

"It's huge!" Sango whispered as they entered the front doors of the mall.

"Yep, largest mall in Japan." Kagome said. Sango continued to look around the mall until Kagome started tugging her arm leading her to the nearest store.

[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] ( Back at the shrine.)

Inuyasha sat in the corner of Sota's room taking the chance to rest while Miroku and Shippo continued to examine the T.V and other items around Kagome's home. Shippo and Miroku continued to try to figure out how the T.V worked and despite Miroku's better judgement ended up trying to take it apart. Shippo pulled a few thing here and a few things there continuously asking if it worked yet. Miroku and Shippo gave up after half and hour and stared at the broken T.V.

"Kagome's not going to like this." Shippo said quietly. Miroku nodded weakly before going into the kitchen to examine its "marvels" while Shippo went upstairs to see what Inuyasha was doing.

Surprisingly no one had gotten home yet. Kagome said that her grandpa wouldn't be home until after their trip and her mom and Sota would be back some time around dinner.

[][][][][][][][][][][][][] A few hours later

The door flung open as Sota came rushing in looking around for Inuyasha only to be greeted by an extremely hyper Shippo.

"Um,...hi," Sota said.

"Hi! I'm Shippo! Have you seen Kagome? She left to the mall thingy a long long long..." and with that Shippo was hit over the head by Inuyasha.

"Inuyasha that was so cool how'd you do that?" Sota shrieked like a kid in a candy store.

"Like this." Inuyasha said as he hit Sota over the head too.

"Now Inuyasha, I think you should be nice to the boy, after all he is Lady Kagome's family. Miroku scolded standing over the two stirring bodies on the floor if the Higurashi's kitchen.

"You're in no position to scold me monk!" Inuyasha yelled while glaring at Miroku.

"A bit touchy lately aren't we Inuyasha considering the fact that Lady Kagome isn't here." Miroku teased.

"Shut up you damned monk!" Inuyasha screamed ready to draw tetsusaiga.

"Sit Boy!" Kagome screamed. Kagome and Sango were each carrying about 6 bags. "Inuyasha didn't I tell you not to carry your sword with you here people will think you're a serial killer or something! Plus you shouldn't be exposing my brother to that kind of language."

"What the hell is a cer-iel killer?" Inuyasha screeched.

"A person I'm going to hire to kill you if you don't stop that kind of language around my house!" Kagome said as she handed Inuyasha and Miroku each 3 bags. "Put some of those on so you at least look like you fit in. After all the park does open tomorrow."

Kagome took Shippo upstairs to bed and began to set up Inuyasha's bed on the couch while Sango cleaned the table off.

"Looks like they had a very original dinner," Sango said as she scraped a pot of ramen into the trash along with 3 empty bags of chips, some salsa and some leftover meatloaf that was still sickeningly warm. Kagome glanced at Sango nodding.

Kagome and Sango started up the stairs when they heard Inuyasha screaming. "Get away from them monk, unless you want to lose that accursed hand." Inuyasha warned Miroku. Sango and Kagome turned around to see Miroku only inches away from Sango's rear. At that exact moment the door flung open revieling Ms. Higurashi lugging in 3 suitcases. She looked from the girls to Miroku who was still slinking up the stairs behind them to Inuyasha who was digging threw his bag of clothes.

Ms. Higurashi suddenly turned to the clock on the wall of the Living room. "Do you know what time it is? It's 12:30! What have you been doing all night? Everyone up to bed now! You need to be up at 6:30 at the latest!" Ms. Higurashi yelled at Kagome and the others.

"Mom!!!!!! Do we have to?" she whined.

"Yes! Now scram!!!!! And you, in the purple, downstairs! NOW!" She yelled as Kagome and Sango scrambled up the stairs. They could hear Kagome's mom yelling at Miroku all the way upstairs, followed by a loud shriek.

Kagome ran to the stairs and screamed, "Miroku! You pervert! Of all the people in the world, why did you have to choose my mom?" This resulted in everyone downstairs looking up at her like she needed to go to the Funny Farm (Tink- I've been there! Carmen- Didn't you go last summer with Mika? Tink- Yup! Lupe- Yay! Pepto Bismal! Sorry that commercial came on. Everyone- o.O).

Kagome turned around and went back into her room when another scream reached her ear. She rushed to the landing and looked down at a fuming Inuyasha. "What is it? What's wrong?" Kagome yelled franticly. Inuyasha continued to stare at the T.V remote looking like he was going to destroy the entire room in seconds. He continued to click the remote over and over and over.

"Somebody broke the T.V!" he screamed while turning his gaze to Miroku. Miroku slunk into his armchair and turned to gaze at the wall. Kagome glanced down as Inuyasha took a step toward Miroku before turning and heading to bed. Kagome giggled as she heard Miroku screaming downstairs.

Little did they know a pair of bright red eyes were watching them as they slept. Before they disappeared he whispered so quietly Sesshomaru's ears probably wouldn't have heard, "I'm always watching you Inuyasha, always."
