A.N. hey guys I'm writing this chapter before we leave tomorrow! And if you're extra good I'll even write another one (I have a lot of good ideas for a few chapters.) Well anyway right now the whole gang is going to the mall… oh boy this is gonna be one hell of a mall trip…
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Inuyasha characters! HAPPY NOW? Good. Oh just so you know the lawyers have left (leaving me free to cross my fingers…) mwahahahahaha INUYASHA WILL BE MINE!
Oh shout out to peeps. HOJO THE HOMO BASHING IS GOOD!
A New Puppy and a Back-Fired Plan
The whole drive to the mall was a disaster… in the end Kagome ended up with a speeding ticket, Miroku ended up with two slap marks and a bump larger than Shippo, Inuyasha ended up with a sock in his mouth and his hands duct taped behind his back, Shippo had a stomach ache and was throwing up as they drove, Yuka and Eri were lying down in Hojo's lap asleep, and Hojo was smirking at the site of them and was planning… he was going to make Inuyasha look like an idiot in front of Kagome. They all finally ended up the mall in one piece (though know one knew how.) Kagome untied Inuyasha and pulled the sock out of his mouth. She led the way as they all got out of the car and headed toward a 5 story mall. Every single one of her feudal friend's jaws dropped (anime style of course) and eyes widened as big as half of their faces! Kagome smiled and pulled them toward the mall. Of course Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi were already at the entrance of the mall and were impatiently waiting for kagome and the others to get there. Kagome quickly explained the mall and all of its customs as they walked toward the door. She had made sure and told them about not stealing even if they didn't mean too. The last thing they needed was more of a police record after the speeding ticket earlier.
"Okay guys stick together and if you have any questions make sure you ask me not anyone else. The other people here might not understand why you ask a certain question and I really don't want to deal with making more excuses so just stick with me and we'll all be fine." Kagome said.
"Okay." The others nodded in agreement.
They all met up with the others and walked through the door. Once again all of Kagome's feudal friends jaws dropped and their eyes became big as they looked around.
"They live in a small town with a tiny mall so their not used to this kinda thing." Kagome explained/lied to her modern day friends.
"Hey Kagome, wanna go get a sundae at the ice cream parlor?" Hofo asked raising and dropping his eyebrows at her.
Kagome didn't notice the gesture and said "that's a great idea! Inuyasha loves ice cream…"
At that Ho-loser-jo growled and stormed of toward the ice cream parlor with the group following him.
"Man what is up with Hojo? He looked like he could rip someone's face off if they came to close to him." Ayumi said as she stared after Hoho who was in his own little rain cloud.
They all walked over to where he was sitting and sat down as Kagome and Inuyasha went to go get the ice cream.
"Why do I have to get the ice cream? Can't someone else get it?" Inuyasha asked impatiently while they were standing up at the counter.
"Well I can always get Hojo to help me…" Kagome said knowing that this would keep him from leaving.
"Huh? I didn't say anything about not helping… what are you talking about?" Inuyasha said hoping Kagome would forget about him nagging about getting the treat.
With a little effort and a little teamwork Kagome and Inuyasha managed to get all the ice cream back to the group. They sat down next to each other and started licking their ice cream. Hojo, who couldn't stand to see Inuyasha and Kagome sitting next to each other so happily, suggested they go do something else and bring their ice cream with them (uh oh…) So they all got up and went to the first store off the day… which just happened to be a pet store. Eri wanted to get some kind of animal pet for her little cousin who was having a birthday party soon. They all spread out when they got in and just casually looked around. Miroku and Sango both headed of towards the fish, Ayumi and Yuka were walking around with Eri trying to help her pick a good pet for a 5-year-old, Ho-go-away was hiding behind a shelf and spying on Inuyasha and Kagome who were playing with the little white puppies.
"Aww their ears look just like yours Inuyasha! How cute!" She cooed as she stroked one of the puppy's ears. The puppy licked her hand and than gnawed it a little. "They also have little fangs like yours! It looks like they're teething."
Inuyasha flinched a little. He remembered teething… the most painful few weeks of his childhood. He looked at the carefree puppies, playing around in their little box that the store had made up for them. He started to pet one of the puppies. The fur on it was almost exactly like the fur on his ears. It was soft and white.
"You know what? I think I'm gonna get one! Mom said I could get a dog a few months ago but I never really got the chance because of all the shard hunting." Kagome said as she stared at one of the solid white puppies. This one looked more like Inuyasha than the rest and it seemed to like both of them more than the others.
"What? You're actually gonna get one?" Inuyasha asked shocked at her sudden decision.
"Yeah! Souta, mom, and Grandpa can take care of him while I'm in the feudal era, and I can even bring him along for occasional visits, he wouldn't be any worse than having Kirara around (and she's not a problem at all!)" Kagome said as she picked up the puppy.
Inuyasha was actually pretty glad she was going to get the puppy. The little puppy kept looking at Inuyasha with big puppy dog eyes. He couldn't help but think it was kinda cute. He followed after Kagome who was going to the cash register and signing the papers that came with the pup. Kagome walked back over to Inuyasha and held the puppy up to his face and let it lick him.
"What should I name him?" Kagome asked as she looked at the puppy with adoring eyes.
"I don't know whatever you want." Inuyasha replied looking around. He had an uneasy feeling someone had heard their conversation about his ears, fangs, and the feudal era. "Do you ever get the feeling you're being watched?" He said still glancing around.
Inuyasha was right, they were being watched but by none other than Hobo. He heard their entire conversation and had understood exactly what Kagome meant by the feudal era. He had over heard Kagome tell her mother, brother, and grandfather about the feudal era when she first came back. He had thought it was just a funny inside joke or something when he first heard it but now he understood. He understood every little thing and he knew he could use this knowledge to embarrass Inuyasha somehow in front of Kagome.
"See Inuyasha? He likes you!" Kagome said as the puppy jumped onto his red t-shirt (they had changed before they left for the mall.)
Inuyasha had caught the puppy and looked at it. It looked so familiar…They met up with the others and told them about the new member of the group.
"I still haven't thought of a name. Do you guys have any ideas?" Kagome said as she looked at the small puppy in Inuyasha's arms.
"What about Hiroshi?" Eri said looking at the dog.
"That's cute but I was thinking something more puppyish." Kagome replied.
"Hmm…. How about Toshiro." Ayumi suggested.
"Or Yokiyo?" came Yuka.
"Or Yoshi?" Sango stated.
"Or why don't you name him after me? I'm a perfect role model." Hojo said with his chin high.
"Well, Hojo, you see I was…" but Kagome was cut off by Inuyasha, who was with the others rolling on the floor with laughter.
"Y-you g-g-gotta be k-kid-dding me! S-she wouldn-n't n-name a b-b-blade of g-grass after y-y-y-you! L-let a-alone a d-d-dog!" He gasped between laughs.
Hobo looked at him with a cold, angry face.
"I think she will be the one to make that decision." He said turning to Kagome who was also trying her hardest not to burst out laughing.
"Uh… what Inuyasha means is that Hojo uhh… isn't really a name for a dog, or a blade of grass at that. I think I am just going to name him Sachi! It means joy. I think it's a perfect name for him considering how happy he seems to be." Kagome stated as she looked at the puppy. "C'mon guys let's go to the next store."
The group left leaving a dumbfounded Hofo behind. After the group was a few feet in front of him he came out of shock and caught up to them. The next store they went to was an electronics store called 'pointier veiw' that had all different kinds of message chairs, stereos, phones, and other high tech devices. Just as they were walking through the door Homo had and idea. He knew all of Kagome's friends from the feudal era were very new to technology. He figured he could scare Inuyasha out of his wits with some technological device and embarrass him in front of Kagome who would instantly realize he was better (well that's what he though any way though everyone knows who the better one is!) Little did homo the hobo know, it takes a hell of a something to scare Inuyasha and even though they weren't from this time they were pretty familiar with technology. Kagome had taught them about it a lot and brought quite a lot of new age things back from her time. Hoho was in trouble now.
'If I can trick them into going into the TV section, I can turn on some freaky part of a movie. He will get scared and hide behind Kagome, completely ruining his tough appearance.' Hoaxo thought to himself as he grabbed the try me remote for the TVs.
With all the TVs stacked together it made one big image appear, like a movie theater. There were four stacks like this creating a sort of room with an entrance space in the corner. Ho so-not-worth-anyone's-time walked over to Kagome who was trying to explain how a little chip on a computer holds so much data to Inuyasha.
"Have you gone to the TV section yet? It's so cool! You can only imagine what it must be like to turn them all on at once!" Ho loser said persuasively.
Kagome, who was tired of trying to explain computers, took Inuyasha's sleeve in her hand and said "C'mon! Don't you want to see the huge stack of TVs?"
"Wha-? Leggo of me! I can walk myself!" he said slightly annoyed of being pulled.
Kagome ignored him and continued dragging him over to the TV 'room.' They walked in and Kagome looked around. She wandered what it would be like to turn them all on. Little did she know she was about to get her wish. Ho low crept over to the opening and his behind a nearby message chair. He clicked the on button on the remote and instantly all the TVs turned on. Hono had put in a totally freaky movie and fast forward it to the scariest part. As soon as the loud noise and freaky scene came on Kagome yelped and jumped into Inuyashas arms, Sachi in her arms and all. Kagome blushed as red as a beat for her sudden actions.
"Oi Kagome it's only a movie." Inuyasha said while setting her and Sachi down and blushing.
"I know… it just scared me…" She said as the movie kept playing.
"You never have to be scared as long as I'm around." Inuyasha softly said into her ear.
It was at that moment they both knew they loved each other. Inuyasha leaned down slightly to kiss her and Kagome was wanting so badly for the gap between their lips to close. And just when it was about to, Ho-fricken-idiot-loser came running in (oh man, I'm gonna beat the crap outta him for that) and pulled them apart!
"What the hell?" Inuyasha yelled.
"Ya! What the hell! Hojo? GRRRRRRRRRRRR!" Kagome yelled as she lunged after Ho-about-to-be-killed-by-Kagome.
This is what she had been waiting for, for 2 years! (oh yeah Kagomes 17 now and they're still looking for the jewel and Naraku.) She wasn't going to let some self-centered, more annoying than hell, demented bastard stop her! She chased Ho joke around the store, curing and swearing at him. Inuyasha watched as Kagome caught him, throttled him, and gave him few (and when I say a few I mean a few thousand) punches and kicks. Satisfied with her work she happily prances back to Inuyasha and Sachi who looked at her, than looked at Ho-just-got-the-crap-beaten-out-of-him-by-a-girl, and than looked at each other.
'Note to self. Stay on Kagome's good side.' Inuyasha noted.
"I guess he won't be a problem any more! C'mon the others are waiting for us." Kagome said as she turned around and started of in the other direction.
"Sometimes she really scares me, Sachi." And with that Inuyasha picked up Sachi and followed Kagome.
