For Better or For Worse
Chapter Twenty-Four
Rin had chosen out a few garments from her last section on the left side of Victoria Secret.
She chose a light yellow dress, with thin straps at the top and see-through were the breasts would be.
It was low cut, just at the end of the hips, so it would just barely cover the bottom half a girl.
Another one she chose was a light pink see-though dress.
It was a tube-top dress and had pink laces along the edges on the dress.
The last one she chose was a light blue and was a two piece.
It was see-through on the bottom, and on the top it was partly see-through.
The top part had beads on the bottom hanging from the rims.
Sango had the end of the store to shop in.
She had shopped for jeans, socks, shirts, and shoes.
She had picked out three tight worn-out looking jeans and three baggy jeans, but darker in color.
She went overboard in the sock department, but she didn't care.
She bought nine pairs of socks.
Six of the nine were long socks that reached up to the knees.
One pair was purple with black pock-a-dots, another was green with black strips and had slits throughout them to make them look cut, and one other pair was pure yellow.
The other three pairs of long socks that went up to the knee were blue with green flowers, red tie-died in orange, and dark green with some light green lines.
The last three short ankle socks were bright purple, bright yellow and bright orange.
After forty-five minutes they all met up at Rin's side and walked together to the service counter to pay for the items they chose.
Once Miroku and Shippou reached the entrance, they saw no sight of Inuyasha anywhere.
"Man, where the hell is he?" panted Miroku.
They had run all the way back about ten times faster than before and were out of breath.
"Do you have his cell phone number?" Shippou asked.
"Nah, remind me to get that so this never happens again."
"You bet. Damn it where is he?" said Shippou.
The two now stood in front of a two way section in the mall.
"I have the slightest clue. How about you go down that end and I'll take this end. If we find him, call the other's cell okay?"
"Got it."
And the two ran off into different directions in the search for Inuyasha.
Inuyasha walked down the mall, in the same direction that kid had.
I wonder where he went to…Ah I think I know…
Inuyasha thought and turned the corner of the hall he was walking in to see to doors leading outside of the mall.
He walked toward the doors and once there opened them to make his way through to freshened air.
A breeze passed by him as the doors closed behind him.
He looked to his right and saw the boy on the ground.
The kid was most definitely twelve.
He had longish brown hair, skater-style, and was in a normal white tee-shirt with worn out jeans.
He turned to face him, making enough noise to get the kid's attention.
The kid looked scared and was about to run.
"No, no! Don't run. I'm not here to get you caught for stealing or anything."
He seemed to calm down and look back down at what he was doing before Inuyasha came.
Inuyasha sat down besides him, to see a brown and grey kitten with a white belly eating some cat food.
So the kid takes care of a cat huh?
"You take care of this stray right?"
"Uh huh. But I can't afford much, so I had to take some food to feed him."
Him…?
"I figured as much. Well just don't get caught next time okay?"
"Uh, okay. But mister, why did you let me go before?"
Inuyasha stood up and looked back down at the kid.
"Because I knew you were stealing for a good reason. I didn't sense any hatred from you."
"Oh."
"Anyways I better go. By the way, your cat is a she."
Inuyasha said and opened the doors to walk back into the mall, crowded with people.
"A she…?" the kid said and looked down at his brown and grey cat besides him who was busy drinking water.
The kitten looked up at the boy and meowed.
Shippou ran down the mall hallways in search for his friend.
What on earth could he being doing?
Once that thought passed his mind he turned the corner and ran into someone.
"Ow watch were you going damn it!"
Shippou rubbed his head and opened his eyes.
"Oh, uh sorry about…Inuyasha?"
"Who the hell else would I be?"
"Fuck man! Miroku and I have been looking for you everywhere! Where the hell have you been?"
Shippou and Inuyasha picked themselves up and were now standing in the hall.
"Just walking around. So are we going to the arcade or what?"
"Well, first I need to call Miroku to tell him to stop looking, and then I don't see why not."
Shippou took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
"Miroku I found him."
"Okay good. So where was he?"
"Just walking around."
"Feh." Inuyasha said when he heard their conversation.
"Ha, ha okay then let's meet in front of Zummies."
"Okay is that on the first or second floor. I know it's not on the third or fourth."
"It's on the second."
"Okay see you there."
Shippou hung up and put his phone back into his pockets.
"Okay let's go."
"What ever."
The three girls walked out of Victoria Secrets with a bag in each hand.
They all laughed.
"Think we got enough shopping done?" laughed Kagome.
"Nah!" laughed Rin and Sango in unison.
The three girls walked towards the escalator.
"You guys want to go to the second or third floor?" said Sango.
"Third!" said Kagome.
"Okay third it is." Sango said.
And they took the escalator up to the second floor and walked to the escalator to get to the third floor.
"So what are we going to do on the third floor?" asked Rin.
"Well the third floor is all the electronics stores. I really want to by a couple of new CD's so I was thinking of going to Fye or somewhere. Then I guess we can go to the arcade to meet the guys or maybe go downstairs to the first floor where all the girl shops are and go on a major…"
"Shopping spree!" Rin screamed.
"So CD's then first floor it is." Laughed Sango.
The three of them laughed as the walked down the hall to go to Fye.
Shippou and Inuyasha finally met up with Miroku at Zummies.
"Hey Miroku!"
"Hey Inuyasha, glad we found ya." Miroku laughed.
"Yup so why did we meet here?" asked Shippou.
"Oh I thought maybe we would want to buy some clothes for ourselves." Miroku said.
"Okay, good idea actually, because I need to get a new pair of shoes anyways." Said Shippou.
"Well, let's go in then." Inuyasha said.
The three walked into Zummies.
They spent about an hour there shopping.
Inuyasha had bought two new tee-shirts; one was black and said DC on the front in white and the other one was grey and brown and had the element sign on the front in black.
He also bought a pair of normal jeans, one pair of baggy jeans, and one pair of tight jeans, all of them in different shades of blue.
He also bought one long-sleeved shirt.
It was a white Choppers shirt that was even large on him.
He bought a new pair of sneakers as well, some black and white adios.
And four new pairs of boxers, one grey, one black, one brown, and one green and yellow striped.
Shippou had bought a new pair of sneakers as well, but his were blue and grey DC's.
He also bought two new pairs of jeans, one tight the other normal and three new pairs of tee-shirts, one Bam pink tee-shirt, another was a Billabong black and white shirt, and the last one was a green element shirt.
He also bought a pair of shorts; they were tan and had pockets up the sides.
Also he bought two new boxers and two new briefs.
Two were grey, and the other two were black.
Miroku bought DC sandals, along with three tee-shirts, one just a plain grey, one saying Tony Hawk on it in black running letters on a brown shirt, and the last on was plain black.
He also bought five new pairs of boxers, three grey, one black with the words element running on the sides, and one white and three pairs of shorts, one tan with pockets like Shippou's, one black, but without so many pockets, and the last one black as well, but it came with a brown leather belt.
The boys were satisfied with what they had bought and left the store for the third level.
Now they were headed to the arcade.
Kagome, Sango and Rin finally made it to Fye.
They walked through the music section to buy some good CD's.
Kagome ended up buying the My Chemical Romance CD, New Found Glory CD, Taking Back Sunday CD, and some relaxing music such as slow peaceful music.
Sango just bought a Ludicrous CD and Rin bought an Ashlee Simpson CD.
They also left there store happy and headed down for the first floor for their shopping spree.
