:One and Only:
Chapter 7: Preparations
Kagome woke up to find InuYasha sitting across from her, sleeping.
She decided to have a bath. She needed to be quick, or InuYasha would get mad at her for leaving him without telling him so.
She grabbed her stuff.
Heading towards the hot spring, she made sure she had everything, and that Miroku was sound asleep (hehe..smart chick, eh?) and continued down the hill.
It was still early morning. Dawn hasn't broken yet, so it was still dark.
Kagome closed her eyes at the bliss that was yesterday. She submerged underwater and emerged again.
She decided she would have to prepare for the Sakura festival. She couldn't wait. She had to get kimono's for everyone, and some accessories for Sango and herself.
She giggled as she thought about how much she was obsessing the topic. She couldn't help it. She wanted it to be perfect.
She got out and dressed when she saw InuYasha coming her way.
"Why'd you leave?" he asked. She sensed anger and was that...concern? She ignored the thought and continued walking.
"I needed a bath. Oh, before I forget, I have to go back to my era to get some stuff." She stated.
InuYasha raised his brow.
"What kind of stuff?" he asked suspiciously.
"You will see when I get back!" she said excitedly. She wanted to burst from happiness.
"Wait a mi-." he was cut off by Kagome skipping towards the hut. Sango and Miroku were now up and drinking some tea.
"You guys?" Kagome asked, peeking in the hut. They looked at her, telling her to go on.
"I'm going to go home for a day or two, but I'll be back before the festival!" she said smiling.
She grabbed her bag and started walking towards the well when InuYasha came up beside her.
"What are you going for?" he asked, wanting an answer this time.
"I told you! I need to get some stuff, I'll see you in a couple days!" she said, with a hint of irritation in her voice.
She turned to him smiled and said 'goodbye' before she hopped into the well.
InuYasha just stood in shock as she jumped in. 'Okaayyy...' he though as he jumped into a nearby tree.
Kagome walked in and saw her mother washing dishes.
"Hello, dear!" she said cheerfully.
"Hi, mama!" she said before dropping her bag and walking up to her mom.
"Hey, mom?" she said scratching her head.
"Yes dear?"
"Can I go buy some kimono's for my friends for the Sakura festival on Saturday?" she asked.
"Of course! But aren't you leaving little time? It's already Thursday." she said fishing some money out of her wallet.
"I know, but I have an idea of what I'm getting." Kagome said as her mother gave her the money and smiled.
"Thank-you!" she kissed her mother on the cheek and ran out the door.
When she arrived at the mall, she headed straight for a store she knew had awesome kimono's.
When she walked in the doors, she saw a beautiful pink kimono with black accents on it, and she knew it would be perfect for Sango. She found the right size and folded it over her arm.
After finding one for herself, she found a red one for InuYasha (that's his best colour, if you haven't noticed...) And a dark blue/ purple one for Miroku. (I don't think he would look as good in any other colour!)
She slung them over her arm, and headed for the smaller sizes for Shippo. She got him a simple blue and orange one and added it to her collection.
When she reached the front desk, she saw two beautiful flower barettes that would go great with Sango and her' outfit. She grabbed them and put everything on the counter.
She paid for it and decided it was time to go back and get some nice shoes she had in her closet for Sango.
"What's taking her so long?" InuYasha thought out loud as he tapped his claws against the well.
He huffed and hopped back up in his tree. 'She's fine, just busy.' he thought, trying to take his mind off it.
"I wonder what Kagome is doing." Sango said sipping her tea.
"Probably preparing for the Sakura festival. She likes to get new kimono's and stuff. Remember last year? You looked ravishing." Miroku sort of cut off as his eyes glazed over, daydreaming.
Sango flushed deep red and looked away.
"You're probably right. She shouldn't be long." Sango finally said as she snapped Miroku out of his 'not-so-innocent' thoughts.
Kagome made sure she had everything as she packed them into her bag.
'Oh...I don't think it'll kill them to last one more night without me...' Kagome said as she stared longingly at her bed.
She jumped up on it and passed out right then.
InuYasha decided he would go check on Kagome. She had left without telling him anything about what she was doing. He just needed to make sure she was alright.
'I don't know why I need to check on her...she's always safe in her era...not always, she could have fallen down stairs and need help or something...' he cut off his thoughts before his pride could cut in again.(hey, there's a first time for everything, right?)
He looked around suspiciously for any peekers, and jumped into the time slip.
InuYasha hopped up to her window and quietly opened the window as he saw her sleeping.
Closing it to prevent a cold breeze from waking her, he sat down beside her bed and watched her from the corner of his eye before he fell asleep.
In the morning, InuYasha woke to find Kagome not in her bed, but at her closet, neatly wrapping some packages he has never seen before and putting them all into her backpack.
"Huh? What's that?" he asked.
Kagome slightly jumped at the sudden noise.
"Hey, sleepy-head!" she said cheerfully
InuYasha huffed at the comment and got up.
"Can we go?" he asked.
"Well, do you want to have breakfast first?" she replied.
InuYasha just mumbled a 'feh' and headed downstairs where he smelt pancakes.
After breakfast, Kagome said goodbye to her family, and headed towards the well house as InuYasha followed.
She held his hand and smiled at him as they jumped into the warm welcome of the time-slip.
