Chains
Chapter 7: TO THE MALL!
"Kagome you have to come out at some point!" Inuyasha sighed while banging on the bathroom door. It was 11:30am and Kagome had been hiding in the bathroom ever since 10 am when Inuyasha told her that he would not be going to the mall with her, his mom, and Sango.
"If someone sees me out there without you I could be killed!" Kagome yelled through the door.
Inuyasha sighed again and shook his head. "Ok ok! I'll go." Kagome unlocked the door and walked out. "Thank you." She mumbled and went to get ready. Just then a cat ran between her legs, which caused her to stumble. She was about to fall down the stairs, but Inuyasha quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her back.
"This place is going to be the death of me." Kagome mumbled. Inuyasha laughed and punched her softly on the shoulder.
"Heyy! I'm insulted!" Kagome let out a small laugh but the quickly covered her mouth and looked at him in horror.
"What's wrong Kagome?" He asked looking concerned. Kagome started to shake. "Forgive me!" She cried and then ran into her room. Inuyasha just stood there with a dumbfounded look on his face. "Woman!" He yelled throwing his arms up and walking into his room.
As he closed his door he sighed. 'She did look pretty cute when she smiled. And her laugh...WOAH! Hold the phone! I can't be thinking like that! She's my sparring buddy nothing more.' And with that final thought Inuyasha walked over to his closet and pulled out a pair of cargo pants and a black t shirt.
When he walked down the stares he saw Kagome in a grey sweatshirt and a pair of black jeans. "Kagome, it's kind of warm outside. Are you sure you want to wear that?" Maye asked. Kagome just blushed and looked at the floor.
"If she wants to wear that let her. Come on, we need to get back here before Kaede gets here." Inuyasha said as he led the girls out to the limo. "Inuyasha, how did you get Kaede to come?" Sango asked.
Inuyasha growled, "I'm becoming a fucking slave! I have to clean her house for a week, and I have to wash Sesshomarus car for a month!"
He looked over at kagome and saw that she was looking down at the ground. "Ya know, I'm going to start calling you Hunch if you don't start walking straight." He laughed.
Kagome only blushed more and ran over to the car and opened the door. Inuyasha stared at her with a confused look but got in.
At The Mall:
Kagome followed the group to the mall directory and while they were looking at where the different stores were she was looking at a particular store in awe.
"Mooommmm!" Inuyasha whined. "I don't want to go in there!" Inuyasha gave his mother the face, but it seemed she was blind today.
"Inuyasha, Kagome is a woman. Women need lingerie. So suck it up." Inuyasha began to pout. He looked over at kagome and saw that she was looking at a stationary store. 'Oh that's right. I promised to get her a journal.' Inuyasha smiled as he remembered last night.
"Hey mom, let's go in that store first. I kind of promised Kagome something." He whispered. Maye looked at him oddly. "How about you two go in there and Sango and I will go and get some drinks." Inuyasha nodded and walked over to kagome.
"Come on. Lets go get you that journal." Kagome looked at him with a shocked expression. 'H-he remembered?' Kagome nodded trying to hold in her excitement and followed him into Journals N Stuff (yes it is a real store in my mall. They sell journals, do engravings, and sell stuffed animals, stationary, etc).
"Ok Kagome, the journals are over there. Pick out one while I run and get my dad some business paper (It's softer paper and it's also usually a greyish color I believe), ok." Kagome looked like she wanted to protest but she just kept her mouth shut and nodded.
'If anyone figures out that I'm a slave and I'm away from my master, I'm going to be in so much trouble!' She thought as she looked around nervously. Everyone seemed normal enough, so she decided to look at the journals.
After about 3 minutes of searching she found the perfect journal. It was a black velvet journal which goldish papers inside. And on the outside there was a gold plate where they would engrave your name.
"Pretty journal. Is that the one you want?" Kagome jumped slightly when she heard her masters voice. She quickly placed the journal down and shook her head. "It's pretty but to expensive. Just any old notebook would suffice." Inuyasha shook his head and walked over to the journal and picked it up and began to inspect it.
"I think this one will do just fine. Now come on before mom and Sango send in a search party for us." Kagome was about to thank him but he had already started to walk towards the register.
"The lady says it'll take a little while before she can engrave it, so we'll finish shopping and pick it up before we leave ok?" Inuyasha said as the left that store and went to find Maye and Sango.
Kagome only nodded. 'He's so nice to me...all of them are. I'm so scared to talk to them. What if I get to close and it happens again. I need to leave them...before I do it again.' Just then kagome looked up to see Maye, Sango, and Inuyasha staring at her worriedly. "Are you ok?" Sango asked. Kagome nodded and gave them all a small smile. They all shrugged it off and walked over to the one place Inuyasha DID NOT want to go.
"Hi! Welcome to Victorias Secret. Can I help you with anything?" The overly perky lady asked. Inuyasha looked at her. She had long black hair that she had in a ponytail, brown eyes, pouty lips that looked like they were injected with collagen. And some big ass boobs. 'Candy' was what her name says. 'Nice. I wonder what she calls the other one.'
"Yes, my daughter here needs to be measured for some bras." Maye smiled as Kagome looked at her. 'D-daughter? Must be to keep them from knowing that...' Kagomes thoughts were cut off when she felt Maye ushering her into a changing booth.
"Okay Kagome take off your shirt and I'll get that girl to come in her to measure you." Maye was about to leave, but then she saw Kagomes extremely pale face. "What's the matter dear?" Kagome sighed and took her shirt off and showed Maye her back.
"Oh my!" Maye gasped when she saw all the whip scars running down Kagomes back. Maye nodded understandingly and told her that she'd measure Kagome instead of the girl.
After about ten minutes of measuring Maye stuck her head out and told Sango and Inuyasha to come to her. "Okay," She smiled clapping her hands together. "She's a 34 C, let's start looking!" Inuyasha looked at his mother like she had grown a second head.
"I'm not looking!" He stated as his face got extremely red at the thought of him picking out Kagomes lingerie. Maye laughed and shook her head. "I know that silly, I just wanted you to stay close to Kagome while we got a few." Inuyasha blushed harder but nodded.
As the women left Inuyasha knocked on the dressing room door. "Hey, how are you doing?" Oh he could've punched his self. 'How are you doing? Is that the best you could come up with?' He was about to continue on with his verbal abuse, but Kagome actually started to talk to him.
"I'm scared." She started. "All of this is...well overwhelming. Do I have to get a bathing suit?" 'Well that was random.' He thought while raising an eyebrow. "Huh?" Was the only thing he could think of to say. "Lady Sango said earlier that I would be trying on a bathing suit. Do I have to?"
"Why wouldn't you want one? Don't you like to swim?" Kagome unlatched the door so that he could come in. Him, being the idiot he is, walked in and noticed that Kagome was...topless. The only thing cover his view was her hair.
"I'm actually afraid of water." She said while hanging her head. "Well...uhhh...ummm...eh...tanning is always...f-fun." 'You idiot stop looking!' He yelled at himself as he started to blush. "But my punishments will show." That got his attention.
"Punishments? What's that?" Kagome sighed and showed him her whip scars as well. Inuyashas expression softened. He felt so bad for her. "I'm sorry that happened to you Kagome. But I promise you'll be safe with me ok?" Kagome was about to say something but Maye decided to interrupt their little moment.
"Inuyasha, I asked you to stand in the room! Not the booth." Maye giggled asa she saw her sons expression. "Uh...I wonder what Sango is doing." Inuyasha ran out of the changing room and out of the store the a bat outta hell.
Maye laughed at her sons actions and began to help Kagome with her bras.
About 5 hours later:
They had been to just about every store in the mall. Kagome had about 30 bags worth of stuff. Luckily they only had one more place to stop.
Inuyasha ran into the Journals N Stuff store and paid the lady for journal. He walked back out and they headed to the limo. Once everything was inside the trunk they got into the limo and had a quiet ride home.
Once home Inuyasha noticed that kagome had fallen asleep. "Don't wake her up Inu, she's had a long day." Maye said. Inuyasha nodded and picked her up bridal style and walked up to the mansion doors. Once inside he noticed an odd smell. It smelled of medicine and herbs. "Kaede." He mumbled.
On cue Kaede walked out of the kitchen and saw Inuyasha. They glared at each other for a second before Kaede began to look at the sleeping girl in his arms. "She's half miko." Kaede said simply and began to walk into the living room.
"Wha? Now you wait just a god damn minute! That's all you had to do! There's no spells or anything?" Kaede shook her head. "All I said was that she is half miko. I never told ye what the other half was."
"Well? What is it?" Inuyasha growled, growing impatient with the older woman. "This is not how ye treat a guest Inuyasha." Kaede scolded. Inuyasha glared at her and growled again. This time Kagome began to stir, but then just snuggled into his chest.
Sesshomaru and Miroku just HAPPENED to be walking in and saw it. He began to laugh. "Awww...Inuwasha has a wittle girfwiend!" If looks could kill Miroku would be 6 feet under right now.
Kaede motioned for Inuyasha to lay Kagome down on the couch. Once he did that she placed her hands on both sides of Kagomes face. After a moment of silence , Kaede gasped. "She's part Miko and part demon! How is she still alive!"
Inuyasha looked at her then at Sesshomaru who was wearing a shocked expression. "What do you mean?" He asked, "Why wouldn't she be alive?"
Kaede sighed and looked at Inuyasha. "What is a main mikos' purpose?"
"Ummm...I dunno." Kaede bopped Inuyasha in the head. "A mikos purpose is to purify things. And what is the one thing that mikos try to purify."
"Demons." Sesshomaru said, saving Inuyasha from another bop. "Exactly. I am shocked that her miko side has not tried to purify her demon side." Kaede sat there silently for a moment.
"Maybe one of her sides hasn't been awaken yet." Inuyasha said. He awaited his hit on the head, but shockingly, it never came. He looked at Kaede.
"Ye are right. But if and when it does awaken, she will be in grave danger."
"Mmmm..." Kagome started to stretch and opened her eyes. She looked around and saw everyone staring at her. "Ummm...hi?"
Inuyasha helped her up and followed her to her room. Once inside he gave her her new journal. He smiled when he saw her eyes light up.
Kagome placed the book down on her bed and hugged Inuyasha. He was stunned at first, but as he felt her tense up and was about to move away, Inuyasha wrapped his arms around her.
"Kagome, if you want to hug someone, do it. You can laugh, joke, anything you want. Please, don't be afraid of everyone." Kagome hugged him tighter.
"Thank you...Inuyasha."
