Chapter Twenty-Two

Kagome, Sango, and Inuyasha saw the others waiting for them outside the school grounds.

The closer the three got to the others, the better the view of how badly shaped Inuyasha was.

"Yo, Inuyasha! What happened to you?" asked Shippou.

"Ya man you look like you got into a fight." Laughed Miroku.

"I did." Answered Inuyasha.

"With who?" wondered Miroku, this time with a serious attitude.

"Naraku and he kicked his ass." Sango said proudly.

Everyone's jaws cracked open.

"What?"

"How?"

"So you're that strong huh?"

All of the questions kept going, knocking each one that was first placed before the other out of his thoughts.

Sango freely answered them all and told the story, except for the parts about Kagome being a whore.

All the guys gave Inuyasha high fives and Rin cheered.

Kagome didn't say anything and that worried Sango and Inuyasha.

"Kag you ok?"

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha and put on a smile.

He knew it was fake.

"Yup, you bet."

"You sure Kagome, because you don't seem like yourself."

"I'm fine Sango don't worry about it. So are we going to go to the mall? I've been waiting all day."

Sango and Inuyasha knew that something was bothering her, but with her change of subject, they let the feeling go by.

"Ya! Let's go!" cheered Rin.

The drive to the mall was awkward.

They took two cars, one was Inuyasha's, and the other was Shippou's.

Kagome and Sango were in Inuyasha's and Rin and Miroku were in Shippou's.

The ride in Shippou's car was fine, and sounded like they were having fun.

Music was blasting, laughter was surrounding the entire car, and good vibes were coming from each person in that car.

For Inuyasha's car, well the ride was quite...interesting.

Kagome was in the back seat with Sango and Inuyasha was of course driving.

Inuyasha wouldn't let anyone else drive his car.

Kagome was quiet the whole time, which worried Inuyasha and Sango.

But Sango and Inuyasha both new what was wrong, and didn't know what to say to break the silence.

For a good time while the others were having a good time and laughing in the other car, silence filled Inuyasha's.

Inuyasha started to growl to himself.

This silence is starting to fucken annoy me!

"Ok that's it!"

Inuyasha said and pulled the staring wheel to the right.

He ended up swerving the car to the side of the road and parking it in the middle of the opposite street that they were driving on.

Shippou didn't expect the change in direction and slowed his car.

He was slowly passing Inuyasha's car, gaining a huge line of other cars behind him honking and swearing.

"Yo man, what the hell?"

Inuyasha turned and looked at Shippou.

"Go on without us. We'll meet you guys there."

"What ever. See ya!"

Shippou drove off and Inuyasha turned back around now to be facing Sango and Kagome.

Inuyasha's quick turn had gotten Sango and Kagome's attention and now the two were looking at him awkwardly.

"What was that Inuyasha! You could've killed us!" roared Sango, but Inuyasha just ignored her and was still staring at Kagome.

Kagome noticed his stare and couldn't look him in the eye.

She didn't know why she was so down, or why she couldn't look him in the eye, but she most definitely didn't want to be in a stopped car on the side of the road instead of going on a shopping spree.

"Ok enough is enough. Kagome cheer up right now because the silence in this car is starting to piss me off!"

"What? I'm fine don't worry, just a little tired I guess." Kagome responded.

"Bullshit."

Kagome yawned.

"No really, I am exhausted. Can we please go to the mall; I really want to get a new CD and outfit, also some extencials for tonight." Kagome said.

Kagome looked over at Sango and smirked.

"Oooh! I like it Kagome, I know exactly what you're talking about! Great idea!"

Inuyasha was lost. What on seven hells could they have been talking about?

Little did he know that he would be finding out later that night.

The girls giggled as Inuyasha snorted and turned back around to start the engine.

'Oh god, I think I'm scared to even want to know about what they are planning.'

Inuyasha thought and drove back on the high way.

Back on the road, the three were on their way to the mall.
