Chapter 5: Shock and Shopping
Shippo waited impatiently at a corner booth in Starbucks for Rin. He'd been there for a good 20 minutes, but Rin had called him to say she would be a little late. There was a child in the middle of the room that kept screaming and throwing things. Crash. He rolled his eyes and felt sorry for the waiter and wished the mother would get off her cell phone and pay attention to the world around her and not the electronic one she holds in her hands. When Rin got there he decided he had to tell her. The once empty Starofoam cup had been torn into tiny shreds from his nervousness. The bell on the door rung and his head shot up eyes searching for Rin, but instead it was a tall male with eye make-up and purple streaks on the side of his face. Kinda creepy actually. Not to mention his long white tail. Man, was this guy a transvestite or something?
Shippo quickly adverted his eyes when the man turned his cold eyes in Shippo's direction. Luckily the door opened again and there stood Rin looking around. Shippo sat up and waved. Rin spotted him and began to jog over and in the process running into a waiter carrying broken glass from the screaming child. In slow motion Shippo watched the waiter and Rin crash and the glass fly at her.
"RIN!" Was all he could scream as she looked up eyes wide at the glass falling towards her as she fell to the ground.
fsst.
crash.
Rin found herself not on the ground and surprisingly not cut to pieces by glass. She was in a pair of strong arms that held her above the ground as the glass shattered across the floor. The wind was nearly knocked out of her in this transaction and she quickly gasped for air.
Looking up she saw a man with long silvery white hair and purple streaks on the side of his face. Though his face was cold and hard she saw a glimpse of kindness in his eyes just before he put her down and went over to order his coffee from the counter. Rin felt herself blushing, HARD. She felt her face and sure enough it was hot.
"Thank you sir..." She said as he walked away to a near by table and she caught her breath to speak. She wished she could have gotten his name at least.
She walked over and sat down at the booth where Shippo was standing arm outstretched gaping.
"Um...Shippo-chan?" She asked curious as she sat down as nothing had happened. He looked at her as she smoothed a wrinkle from her shirt.
"A-are you alright?" He asked dumbfounded.
"Yes i am." She replied. "What was it you wanted to talk about?" She asked curious.
"yes, that, well, actually, as a matter of a fact..."He didn't know how she would take it. He hoped she would take it good. "well..."
"yes?" Rin asked her heart beating faster.
"Kagome, has been kidnapped." Shippo said aloud almost blurting it out.
"WHAT?! BY WHO?!" She screamed slamming her hands on the table making Shippo's drink almost spill. She wasn't taking it too well.
"I've spoken with Sango and she said it was by a demon or half demon with long silvery white hair and dog ears. He was wearing alot of red when she saw him last, she told me." Shippo concluded. "but that is all the information we have." He said and looked up at her scared face as Rin collapsed on the booth stunned and shocked.
Meanwhile a few booths over...
"Baka, Inuyasha" Sesshomaru said slapping his forehead.
Later that day...
Inuyasha sat in a large cushioned chair. He'd been there for 20 minutes watching this annoying girl try on clothes. He thought this trip would only be to get some beef ramen from the local grocery store, but he forgot about the blocks of window shops that were between his place and the grocery store. Unfortunately Kagome complained about not having anything to wear but Inuyasha's clothing and demanded clothing. Since they couldn't return to Kagome's house, which was probably being watched, Inuyasha agreed, much against his will.
The door to the dressing room in front of him opened and Kagome came out in a slinky black mini with a glittery purple halter. It was the same outfit she was wearing that night at Fire on Ice, but with price tags on it. Not to friendly ones either...
"So what do you think? Its almost the same one that I lost a few nights ago." She said spinning around. Can I get it? Please? I need it to replace the other one or mom will flip." She bent to eye level with him with her best puppy face.
Inuyasha stared between her and the mound of bags that were tallied on his credit card behind him. He growled.
"No. You have enough clothes already! Lets just get the beef ramen and begone!" Inuyasha fumed.
"Well you know the only reason I wanted beef was to get out of that house. I actually prefer chicken flavored." She admitted shyly as Inuyasha collapsed twitching on the floor.
"So you mean you ranked up my credit card for nothing but your pure personal amusement?!?!" He yelled.
"No. I needed the clothes, and you don't have to yell!" She yelled back as Inuyasha went for the bags and the 'Return here' sign, Kagome in a desperate attempt to get them back not wanting to wear his clothes for the remainder of her life.
Meanwhile...
Sango and Miroku were also out on their way to Inuyasha's house on Sango's request and Miroku's life.
"..."
"..."
"...!"
"...?"
"HENTAI!" SMACK. CRASH.
"owie."
"..."
"..."
'Things were going pretty well' Miroku thought as he seemed to be getting through to her...or so he thought in his perverted little mind. Sango on the other hand could not wait until she could see Kagome again and together they could destroy the vermin that was showing her the way to that sick little puppy who stole Kagome from her.
She was off in her world plotting different methods to get revenge on Miroku's wandering hand when she heard a familiar, but muffled yell.
"I need my clothes...Give 'em back!"
"It's Kagome!" Sango yelled and dashed, boomerang ready, into the nearest shopping center. However, when she got there the sight was a little different than she expected.
Inuyasha was loaded down with large pink and white shopping bags and stopped in his tracks by Kagome latched onto his ankles as he struggled towards the "Return Here" desk. Sango was stopped in her tracks more shocked than worried about the scene before her.
Kagome opened an eye and saw Sango standing there boomerang aimed ready, but she was frozen in place like the manikin beside her.
"SANGO!!!" Kagome yelped happily and dashed toward her friend. They hugged and Inuyasha took this chance to dash off to the "Return here" desk and plop the clothes down and gave a 'hurry up!' glare at the elderly worker.
"Where have you been?" Sango asked Kagome once she could be free of Kagome's grasp around her neck.
"Well from what I remember I was in an ally and I think I was attacked, then a bright light and I woke up in Inuyasha's room." She told Sango. Sango seemed skeptical and raised an eyebrow at Kagome. She had a feeling that Kagome wasn't telling the whole story, but she brushed it aside.
"Well now that I have you, that punk puppy is not going to lay a finger on you." Sango said holding Kagome protectively in an exaggerated pose.
"Actually he has claws." Miroku said as he entered the store and approached the girls.
"That's not the point." Sango told Miroku without even looking back. Kagome looked up at Sango questionly.
"And who might this be? The pervert from the club? The one you said annoyed you?" Kagome quirked and eyebrow at Sango who tried to come up with a quick response, but failed.
"I-I said no such thing!" She said blushing, and stealing a glance at Miroku. Miroku took this chance.
"Oh! I knew you liked me once you got to know me!" Miroku said with a perverted grin on his face remembering the previous night then flashing back to the large bump on his head from Sango's boomerang and him having to sleep on the floor, but hey, Kagome didn't have to know that. It was more fun watching her face change from normal to 'OMG WTF?!'
Inuyasha had just finished returning the clothing and returned relieved from the mass of shopping bags he once held with a heavy arm. (instead of a heavy heart...a heavy arm...tehehe...)
"Oi Miroku, where did you come from?" Inuyasha said gruffly.
"After spending the night with Sango I decided to force her to let go of my sexy body and to see if Kagome was alright." Inuyasha could tell he was lying, but apparently Kagome, still in shock, couldn't.
WHACK.
"I DID NO SUCH THING!" Sango yelled at the purple haired male after smacking him with her boomerang.
"Where the hell did that thing come from!? I could have sworn it stayed in the hotel! I saw it there when we left?! How much stuff can you fit in that bosom of yours?! I misjudged you..." His perverted grin reappeared.
Sango did not feel up to reveling the secret ability a pissed off woman has to pull random inanimate objects from thin air or how the vortex worked with the quantum physics so she decided to ignore his question and try to convince Kagome that he was lying about Sango sleeping with him.
