Running From A Killer
By: Youkai Koinu
Chapter 3: Makeover
It was the afternoon now and Kagome was at the kitchen table eating a salad. It was just like this morning, minus Inuyasha's mom, Izayoi, chasing her with a broom. In fact Izayoi was currently occupying the seat across from Kagome, already finished eating. Izayoi's long hair pulled up into a messy bun, loose strands framing her face. She wore no make-up and was wearing a baby blue t-shirt with black pants, and on her feet were black heels.
"So, Kagome, would you like to get cleaned up and then go shopping for some clothes?" Izayoi asked politely.
"Um are you sure? I don't want to be a burden." Kagome asked.
"Of coarse I don't mind!" Izayoi answered. Then she leaned across the table. "Besides." She whispered. "I could use a shopping trip, and I'd like to go with a girl for a change, instead of Inuyasha or Sesshoumaru." She answered truthfully.
"Alright! That sounds great!" Kagome accepted.
"Alright then, it'll be a girl's day out!" Izayoi exclaimed excitedly.
Kagome nodded and smiled. "Sounds good to me!" She said before scooping up the rest of her cereal in record time.
Izayoi stood up and picked up the two glass bowls and gently set them in the sink. Then hurriedly walked back to the table. "Ready?" She asked.
"You, bet!" Kagome replied standing up. Izayoi scurried out if the kitchen and down the hall with Kagome hot on her heels. She came to a single door at the end of the hallway and pushed it open.
Mixed scents assaulted Kagome's nostrils. She recognized only a few of them. There in the room were millions of bottles of shower gels, perfumes, shampoos, conditioners, soaps, and other shower and hair products. Kagome's jaw dropped and her eyes widened.
"Okay." Izayoi started. "This is where I keep all of my hair and shower products. So help yourself, what's mine is yours."
Kagome nodded. "Thank you." Kagome replied breathlessly. She padded over to the closest shelf and started scanning. 'Hmmm… What shall I… Oh what's that?' She thought before a bottle suddenly caught her eye. It was a red-pink color in a clear container.
She squinted at the label. On the front was a watermelon. Kagome picked it up and flipped the cap off. She took a big whiff and sighed. It smelled wonderful. Watermelon was her favorite fruit. "I like this one." Kagome stated to Izayoi, holding the bottle up for her to see clearly.
"Great choice! That's my favorite one. Do you want the shampoo and everything to go with it?" Izayoi asked.
"Yeah, that would be nice if you don't mind."
"Of course not." Izayoi replied as she opened a cabinet and pulled out four more bottles all matching the first. "Here you go, sweetie. There's the shampoo, conditioner, lotion and body spray. Use all you want." She said as she handed the bottles to Kagome.
Kagome took them carefully. "Thanks." She said appreciatively. Izayoi led her out the door and down three other halls before they finally reached the bathroom. Izayoi stopped beside the door.
"Okay, here it is. The towels and washcloths are in the closet." She said before pointing to a room down the hall. "That's Inuyasha's room and that," she pointed to a door across from it, "is Sesshoumaru's room. When you finish ask one of them to show you where my room is."
"Okay." Kagome said before entering the room. 'Oh. My. God.' Kagome thought as she gaped at the bathroom she stood in.
There was a toilet, a stand up shower, a bathtub, a hot tub, a jacuzzi, an end table to set your clothes on, and a sink with plenty of counter space. Kagome all but ran over to the shower and started it. She set her shower gel on the side of the tub, the spray and lotion on the counter and the shampoo and conditioner in the shower. Then she stepped in the shower herself.
She shampooed her hair and rinsed it out. Then she massaged in the conditioner. 'Gods, I forgot how good showers felt.' She finished washing her hair and stepped out. She walked over to the closet and pulled out a towel and matching washcloth the same color as the shower gel. 'Huh.' She thought.
She shrugged and headed over to the tub where she ran hot water. When it was filled up as far as she dared. She stepped in and sunk to the bottom. Literally. 'What the?' Kagome thought as she swam to the top. She couldn't even touch the bottom! She treaded over to the side of the tub where her leg struck something solid. "Shoot!" Kagome yelped before realizing it was a ledge and sitting on it.
"Ahh…" Kagome sighed and sunk lower into the tub. "Now…" She said groping around beside her for the shower gel. It took her a couple seconds before she finally grasped it and washed up. Then she stepped out and dried off. She spotted some dark blue jeans and four different colored tank tops.
They were the kind you could layer so she put lotion on and slipped on the jeans. Then she glanced at the tanks. They were one blood red one, a baby blue one, a black one and a white one. She pulled the blue one on and then the white one on top.
After about five minutes of searching through the drawers she finally found a suitable brush and slid it through her ebony locks. Finally she blow-dried her hair and pulled it into a high ponytail.
She then slid out of the room and padded into the hallway. 'Hmm… which room was Inuyasha's again.' She looked from one to the other, and back to the first. 'I think it's… that one.' She thought and headed to the one on the left of the hall. She knocked three times and waited.
Finally the door creaked open and out stepped… Inuyasha? That's not Inuyasha. "Umm… hi… do you know where Izayoi's room is?" Kagome asked.
There in the doorway stood a silver haired, amber-eyed boy. He looked a lot like Inuyasha but a couple years older. He wore a white wife beater and black jeans. He was extremely tall and Kagome felt intimidated by the fact that he towered over her.
"Yes, as a matter of fact I do. But I'm not going to tell you because I have no clue who you are, girl." He stated coldly.
"I'm not girl I'm Kagome. Come on, say it with me. Ka-go-…" She started but was cut off.
"Personally, I have no interest in your name, girl. Now leave and I won't call security." He said.
"Are you Sesshoumaru?" Kagome asked, ignoring his warning.
"Yes. Now unfortunately I have no time to chat with you, because I am busy reading a very interesting book." Sesshoumaru answered.
"Wait!" Kagome called after him. "Can you please just show me where Izayoi's room is and I'll leave you alone." Kagome pleaded. What she didn't know was that a certain hanyou was watching her closely.
Inuyasha-
Inuyasha was peeking through a crack in the door at Kagome pleading with Sesshoumaru to show her where his mother's room was. Inuyasha was becoming very amused at the interaction.
Kagome-
"And if I don't tell you where Izayoi's room is?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"I won't budge and will continue to bug you until you do." Kagome replied seriously.
"I seriously doubt that." Sesshoumaru said before slamming the door in her face causing her to flinch in surprise.
She knocked again… no answer. "Open up Sesshoumaru, or I'll knock your door right out of its frame!" Kagome threatened.
'Yeah right girl.' Sesshoumaru laughed on the inside. That was, until a loud 'bang' sounded throughout the corridor. He whipped his head in the direction of his door, and what he saw made his eyes widen.
Kagome lye there on the floor on top his door. 'She…she was serious!' He though shocked. Kagome coughed a bit before staggering to her feet.
Across the hall Inuyasha used his hand to muffle his chuckles.
"Now." Kagome said seriously. "Where is Izayoi's room located?"
Sesshoumaru sighed. "Why don't you just ask Inuyasha?"
"Because, I asked you." Kagome said sternly.
"Fine. This way." He said motioning her to follow as he headed out the door and down the hall. Kagome quickly caught up with him and walked beside him.
Finally he reached a door and stopped. "This is it." He told her.
"Okay, thank you Sesshoumaru!" She said. He grunted in reply and Kagome rolled her eyes. She reached up and knocked on the wooden door. The door groaned in protest as Izayoi opened it.
"Are you ready?" She questioned. Kagome nodded. "Alright then, let's go." They walked through several hallways before they reached a door and Izayoi grabbed her purse off of an end table before heading outside into a huge garage. There were tons of cars parked in several rows.
Izayoi made her way down one row and stopped next to a red mustang convertible before unlocking it and climbing into the driver's seat. Kagome walked around the car and hopped into the passenger seat admiring the vehicle. "Wow." She murmured.
"Yeah, this is my favorite. I love the fact that you can feel the wind whip your hair around as you fly down the highway." Izayoi replied. Then she pulled out of the garage and they drove to the mall.
Mall-
"Amazing." Kagome whispered her eyes transfixed on the seven-story mall. She followed Izayoi in awe into the mall.
"Okay. Now pick up anything and everything you want. There's no budget." Izayoi told her.
"R-really?" Kagome asked her. Izayoi nodded. "Okay! Let's go!" Kagome said.
Four Hours Later-
"Whew, I'm drained!" Kagome told Izayoi. Just the Izayoi's phone rang and she scrambled to answer it.
"Hello…oh hi…uh-huh…tonight…okay then." Izayoi parted with whoever was on the other line. "Well, Kagome. It seems that we'll have to host a formal business party at our house tonight for my husband. So I'm going to need you to go with Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha to pick out a nice outfit or dress for tonight, ok?" She asked.
"Alright, if that's okay with them." Kagome answered.
"Oh, let me assure you, it will be. Oh and would you like to get your hair cut, too?" Izayoi asked her.
"Sure, that sounds great!" Kagome exclaimed.
"Great, just a second." Izayoi said, pulling her cell phone out once more and dialing a number. "Hello, may I speak with Inutaisho please?" Pause. "Hello? Hey can I ask a favor of you?" Pause again. "Will you ask Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha to go ahead and get ready so that they can take Kagome to go pick out an outfit for tonight and get her hair done?" Another pause. "Yes, I know dear, but Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru need new tuxes also, because Inuyasha ripped a seem in his last time chasing that little fox kit around last time." Pause. "Sesshoumaru grew out of his dear." Final pause. "Thank you! We're on our way now." She said before hanging up.
"Well, we best be on our way so that you guys have plenty of time to shop and get your hair done." Izayoi said to Kagome.
"Alright." Kagome answered following Izayoi to the car.
Back at the Mansion-
"Father, is it really necessary to accompany this human girl shopping?" Sesshoumaru asked. Inutaisho fixed a cold glare on him.
"Yes, it is. Oh, and have you forgotten that you two need tuxes as well?" Inutaisho stated simply.
"No. I merely figured that Inuyasha could take the girl since he knows my tux size." Sesshoumaru stated.
"No, I think you should both get to know her." Inutaisho said, his tone leaving no room for argument.
An hour later-
"Are you finished yet, girl?" A very peeved Sesshoumaru asked from the chair in which he sat. He and Inuyasha had already picked out their tuxes and were now waiting for Kagome to finish up.
"Almost!" Kagome yelled from the small fitting room.
"Well hurry up, we ain't got all day!" Inuyasha yelled back right as the dressing room door opened, and out stepped Kagome.
Kagome wore a simple yet elegant navy blue dress. It stopped right above the knees with a three-inch slit on both sides and was held up by spaghetti straps.
Inuyasha just stared and Sesshoumaru nodded once. "Hurry up and change so we can get out of here." Sesshoumaru said. Kagome nodded and rushed back into the dressing room. Inuyasha recovered quickly and turned around muttering a 'Keh!'
Kagome scurried out a few moments later dress in hand and bought it along with a pair of navy two-inch heels to match. Then they were off to the hair salon.
2 hours later-
Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru and Kagome were all sitting in the car on their way back to the mansion. The hair salon was rather uneventful. Each had their hair washed, trimmed, and blow-dried. Now this is where things would start to get interesting…
