I didn't know this part of the mall. If I remember well, the last time I came here was when I was like nine years old. I remember that my mother was showing me some cute little pink, fluffy dresses and some shoes with ribbons... how corny.

When she went to search for more girly clothes I took off to the boys section and grabbed some T-shirts, pants and sneakers, oh and also a very cool red cap!! - I still have it, by the way - When she came back and saw me with all that boyish stuff, I remember she just sighed, smiled at me, and said:

"If that's what you like, Ka-chan, but don't think you'll get away with not cooking; I need someone to pass on my secret recipes." - Of course, Souta wasn't even on this planet yet.

Since that day on, I only passed by this mall and went to a little shop a few blocks ahead. Let me say that in eight years, this mall has really changed.

"Here, try this." Inuyasha handed her a yellow dress.

"..." She looked at him as if he was giving her dynamite.

Dropping his head, Inuyasha sighed and started to shake slowly; he was laughing and the few people inside the store were looking at him strangely. "Tell me what's wrong with this." He lifted up the dress a little without looking up.

"Uh.... it's a dress?" Her voice was stating the obvious, and with a simple turn she was walking away from him. But before she could 'accomplish her mission,' Inuyasha turned her to himself and started to shake the dress in front of her.

"THAT'S WHAT WE ARE HERE FOR!!! Out of curiosity, do you remember a tomboy girl who doesn't even have a fucking dress in her closet? Forget closet, she doesn't even have one; she just has a drawer full of wrinkled clothes!!! DOES THAT REMIND YOU OF SOMEONE?!!!" The whole time, he shook the dress in front of her, and for a moment it looked like he would rip it up and launch it at her.

The most reasonable thing to do when someone yells at you and talks to you as if you are stupid is to put him in his place and also start to scream at him until you've left him deaf. But as you have noticed, Kagome has a weird way of taking things: "Oh! Yeah, I forgot we came here for that. I was just following you." (this sounds like Dory from Nemo) "I guess I have to try it on." Inuyasha sighed in defeat and threw the dress at her, pushing her into the dressing room 'She's impossible...'

A few moments lasted in total silence. The people had gone back to their business, and he could see that some employees were looking at him smiling, twirling their hair with one finger, and leaning on their counters, and one even winked at him.

'Bitches, they think that I would leave Kagome for them, just because they are hot with their tight leather skirts and almost throwing themselves at me. Keh! I have Kagome; why would I want them? My Kagome would beat them in one second...' He chuckled and thought that if anyone heard what he had thought they would have misunderstood him. It wasn't as if he liked Kagome, HA! Of course not... 'Who am I kidding?' If he had said it out loud, bitter would have been the sound of his voice.

Almost ten minutes had passed. He was starting to worry. "Kagome? Is everything all right in there?" He pressed his ear against the door.

"Yup, the lights are ok, the mirror is full body size, it's nicely painted, even though I would have painted it blue instead of brown, but-" A low growl could be heard from the other side of the door. 'I don't think it's normal for people to growl. He sure tries to show off his name.'

"Stop the nonsense, and put the damn dress on!!" It was shocking that he hadn't broken down the door by this point.

"I'm already wearing it!!... Don't get all worked up, mister."

"Then come out; I want to know if it fits you!!" By now he was banging on the door, scaring Kagome, who, by the way, was against the wall trying to get away from the almost falling door.

"Ok, ok... but don't laugh." The banging stopped, assuring her that he wouldn't laugh, maybe critique, but not laugh. Little by little, her hand was getting closer to the doorknob. It would be the first time in eight years that someone would see her in a dress. She didn't go to weddings or formal parties because it would mean she would have to wear a dress, but now she was doing it... for him.

He heard a click, meaning that the door was unlocked; now if she tried again to stay in there for half an hour he would drag her out. The door was opening to slowly for his taste, so he simply - and kindly - swung it open. The door slammed against the frame and Inuyasha saw her.

It was...

She was.

Why were all his thoughts a blur?

She stood there, looking at the floor pouting, but from the blush, one could say she was embarrassed. 'What for?' Inuyasha asked himself. The dress was simple, just a light yellow dress that was above her knees. The only things holding it up were two tiny strips, and it fit her perfectly. Her waist looked so small and the fabric made her hips more notable. It hung loose from there. Her legs were uncovered and the yellow sandals made the outfit complete. And also, this time she let her hair free from its bands or whatever else would hold it up. Her blue eyes and- and... 'Kagome?'

Two minutes were reasonable after seeing her like that. Of course she looked bad, but he didn't need to stare at her like a newfound specimen. "SAY SOMETHING, YOU JERK!!" She lost her patience.

"We'll take it," he told the woman beside him and turned away from her to go to pay for it. He didn't even look at her. Another woman came, Kagome barely noticing her.

"Miss, would you like to take off the dress and pack it or leave it on?" The woman tried to ask her nicely, covering up the jealous tone in her voice.

"Hell yeah!! I'm not wearing this crap in front of tons of people!!" Inuyasha flinched at her scream. Kagome quickly took off the dress and put on her normal clothes, receiving some nasty glares on her way out, and stormed out of the store.

"Damnit!" - He left the money on the counter - "Matte! Wench, I'm telling you to wait!"

For being a short girl, she sure was quick. He reached for her, grabbing her arm and making her stumble before coming to a stop. "So now you want to talk!!"

Was it a question or a statement? "What's your problem?!! So we get you a dress, I buy it for you, and what?!!"

Both were standing in front of the food court, yelling their heads off. If that wasn't enough to make a scene then nothing would ever be.

"Shimatta! I'm doing this just for you!! And you couldn't even tell me how the hell I looked?!" Was it just him or did she look like she was on the verge of tears? Nah! It's Kagome we're talking about.

"So what?" - he crossed his arms and glared at the people that were looking at him as if he were guilty of her being bitchy today -"I asked you to come to dinner to my house and you said yes, but like I say, you can't go on with life the way you dress, so we came here to find some nice clothes. End of your drama story." His head moved slowly to look at her, afraid of what was coming.

"Oh! But Inuyasha" - Inuyasha? She always called him Inu-chan, even if she was faking the 'chan' - "You left a little part out" - Kagome took some steps forward, towards him, making him retreat, ending up between a wall and her. 'Keh! I'm not afraid of a little girl.' - Do you remember that the only reason you asked me to come is BECAUSE KIKI SAID NO!! She was busy and MYSELF, being the only FEMALE friend you have, end up being your ONLY choice!! And so I KINDLY accepted!!" On that day, he understood the true pain of the poking of a finger.

"Well.. you looked fine.. Happy?" Maybe it was because she didn't see the red spreading across his cheeks or maybe it was because of the rough way he said it, or the insecure voice he used, that she took it the wrong way.

"Fine, FINE?" - The word fine had never been said in such a negative way - "Like when you are in a contest and lose and your father says, 'Oh, don't worry. You did fine, sweety?!!' If that's your fine, then fuck off!!"

And once again she left him, standing stupidly with an audience that was glaring at him and the words on the tip of his tongue, "Too damn fine for my own good... Kuso." The audience 'awed' at his expression of loss.

Was it an hour or more that he had been walking aimlessly through the mall? Who knew? Who cared...? For sure, she didn't. 'I guess I'll go home now.' People these days should really pay attention to what they're doing.

Inuyasha grabbed his keys, opened the car, got in, and started the engine. Only, when he was pulling out of the parking lot, he noticed someone in the passenger seat. "WHAT THE-"

"My house is kind of far, so I waited for you here.." There she was, looking through the window at the people passing by. He didn't talk, better not ruin the moment.

"Did I really look that awful in that dress? Just be honest, Inuyasha." From his experiences with her before, he knew she wasn't looking at him; she was looking at nothing.

Maybe from now on he should let her know what his thoughts are, such as 'better not ruin the moment.' "Concerning that dress and you in the same sentence, I'm not saying anything."

"Fine!" She turned her face away from him as much as she could in the car and pouted, glaring at him in side glances once in while.

'Such a girl, but yet..' The image of her in that dress came to his mind. 'Damn it.'

"So dinner is Sunday at six, right?" (Today was Friday.)

"Yeah." As soon as the little talk was over, the car stopped at the shrine steps. Kagome reached for her bag in the back seat and got out of the car, slamming the door. "Ja."

"Matte. I'll pick you at your house at six... and put on the goddamn, stupid dress." He drove away without looking at her.

"And put on the stupid dress," Kagome mocked his voice, glaring at the speeding car that was disappearing into the distance. "Stupid promises. I shouldn't have promised myself to be his friend!" She climbed the endless stairs to the shrine, running, with the bag hitting each step.

Hope you liked the chapter, and now :: Kyou no Otto ::

This time I'm going to recommend the new Blink 182 CD!!

The genre as they said is electro-punk and rock emo... a weird combination, ne? If you hoped to see the old blink, messing around, pranking people, then sorry to disappoint you, but you wont find any of that in this CD. In question of lyrics, the only song a little closer to what they were before is "Easy Target." But still in the sound is so far away.

Like I say, the music is different but so great!! It's a real turn; if you want a little taste then download "Obvious." By just hearing that, you may feel the vibe of the CD.

As an extra thing there's a song with the lead singer of The Cure singing with them and this is one of the best songs on the CD!!

Definitely a very good record, that can assure us that blink will be with us a long time.
