Chapter Twenty-Five
"Oh! Let's go to Hollister first!" Kagome said to Rin and Sango who were currently behind her on the down escalator which was headed for the first floor.
Hollister was one of the stores in sight from the escalator and when Kagome saw it she knew that they had to go there first.
"Ya! I need a new pair of jeans anyways." Said Sango.
Kagome nodded and waited for Rin to reply, but nothing came.
Kagome looked back at Rin, surprised that she hadn't said anything in response.
Rin was staring to her left, looking dreamy.
"Hey Rin, whatcha looking at?" Kagome asked.
This got Sango's attention as well. Sango looked into the direction that Kagome and Rin were currently looking into.
"You see that hot blonde? Wow…" Rin said.
Sango and Kagome laughed, but agreed.
"He's definitely hot, that's for sure, but aren't you in love with someone else?" Sango teased.
Rin looked at Sango with irritation then looked back at the guy to her left and Kagome just laughed.
Sango and Kagome both knew that Rin had a crush on Shippou, but only Kagome knew that Shippou felt the same way.
She would have there relationship changed by the end of the night.
Kagome giggled to herself as she thought of getting the two together.
Sango poked Rin and leaned back to whisper into her ear.
"Uh, what's with Kagome?" Sango whispered and looked at Kagome laughing to herself.
"I don't know, but it's starting to freak me out." Rin whispered back.
They made it too the bottom of the escalator and Kagome got control of her laughter.
They started to walk towards Hollister now.
"So anyways, Kagome what was with the laughing on the escalator?" Rin asked.
"Ya it was kind of freakish." Sango complied.
"Oh nothing," Kagome giggled, "you'll all see later tonight."
More giggled escaped from Kagome, but shortly ended as the reached Hollister.
They walked in and were greeted by one of the workers.
He was a dirty blonde, but could be easily mistaken for a brunet.
He looked pretty fit and was quite tall.
Yes, he was very handsome.
"Hello you three, I hope you find something to fit those beautiful bodies of yours and maybe to accompany me late…"
Kagome laughed as another worker came and hit him in the head with a close racket.
She had cherry red hair like no other that any of them had ever seen, and definitely wasn't a dyed color.
She was skinny and a little shorter than the man.
Also, she had been very pretty.
"I'm sorry about that my friend here can be very perverted, please ignore him. Also welcome." The clerk smiled.
Wow! Doesn't this seem familiar!
Kagome thought and laughed some more. Rin joined her laughter soon and same for Sango.
"Don't worry about it. Our friend is exactly the same way. I always have to hit him in the head each time as well." Sango said agreeingly.
The clerk giggled.
"Well I hope you find something you like here."
"Thanks." Sango said and the three of them walked over to where the jeans were set.
"Wow! There are so many jeans I don't know which one's to try on!" Kagome said excitingly.
"Let's try them all on!" Rin said happily.
"Well no time to waste, let's try these on!" Sango said and grabbed a pair of dark blue jeans that were ripped at the knees.
At the same time Inuyasha, Shippou, and Miroku were also on the escalator, but they were going up to the third level for the arcade and games.
"So what games exactly do they have in this so called arcade?" Inuyasha asked.
"A lot, you'll see when we get there." Shippou answered.
"Feh."
The three guys got off the escalator and started to walk to the direction that the arcade was in from there.
"Hey, I see it!" screamed Shippou in joy.
"Me too!" Miroku did in the same tone.
"You guys are acting like two little kids over an arcade. It can't be that good." Inuyasha snorted.
Miroku and Shippou both turned and looked at Inuyasha with a smirk.
"Oh, believe me; you will be acting the same way once you get in there." Miroku said and on that cue Miroku and Shippou pulled Inuyasha towards the arcade entrance.
"Ok so I'll go in the stall on the right. I'll tell you guys when I'm done changing, so we'll now when to come out together." Rin said and walked into the stall.
"Ok then, I guess I'll go in the one next to hers." Sango said and walked into the stall next to where Rin just walked into.
Then Kagome walked into the stall next to where Sango walked into and started changing into one of the pair of jeans that she had chosen to try on. She pulled off her light green skirt and pulled on the pair of worn-looking tight jeans on. She looked in the mirror and smiled. A perfect fit, plus they didn't look half bad.
"Ok you guys ready?" Kagome asked.
"Yup, what about you Rin?" said replied.
"Ready! Let's see!" Rin cheered and jumped out of her stall, soon after was Kagome and Sango.
Sango was wearing a dark pair of tight jeans that flared at the bottom just like Kagome's, with some sowed butterfly patches on the sides running up the legs. The looked great on her and fit her figure perfectly.
Rin was wearing a pair of tight flared jeans as well, except hers were faded out in blue and ripped at the knees. They were adorable, especially on her.
"Wow you guys look good, can't wait to see Miroku and Shippou's faces!" Kagome laughed.
Sango and Rin blushed at her comment.
"I wouldn't talk Kagome; Inuyasha would just die if he ever saw you in those." Sango teased and laughed with Rin.
"Ha, ha very funny, but Inuyasha isn't into me remember? I think he likes Kikyo…" Kagome said and got a little depressed by the thought.
"Kikyo!" Rin practically screamed.
"Ya if calling her a bitch and hating her guts means he likes someone, than he has the hots for her. Ya right Kagome." Sango said.
"What ever, let's go try on more clothes!" Kagome said and rushed back into the stall.
Would Inuyasha really like me in these?
Kagome thought to herself as she examined herself in the jeans in the mirror. Minutes passed by fast when Kagome was lost in thought about a certain hanyou.
"Ok you guys ready?" Sango asked.
Kagome shook her head from her thoughts and looked down. Shit, she hadn't changed yet.
"Yup, you Kagome?" Rin asked.
"Hold on one moment!" Kagome screamed as she quickly grabbed something from her pile of jeans and without looking at what she had chosen walked out of the stall.
"Ready!" Kagome said to Sango and Rin as they walked out of their stalls to have a gasped surprise on their faces.
"Okay, what game should we play first? Basketball, DDR, Racing, Rock-Climbing, Laser-Tag, Pinball, Pool…" Shippou said excitingly.
Miroku laughed and Inuyasha just stared at how many games there were.
"I don't know. How about Inuyasha chooses?" Miroku said.
Inuyasha looked around. The question was, where to start? He never saw a place this big before for being an arcade.
"Um…how about Paintball?" Inuyasha suggested.
"Paintball it is!" Miroku said and once again Inuyasha was pulled into the paintball entrance.
First the three had to pay to play. They walked up to the counter in a glowing pink room and paid in cash for each one of them to play a nonstop game of paintball. It cost twenty bucks each.
The three of them walked into a dark, glowing green, glow in the dark room where all the equipment was to get ready to enter a game with other people. There were their paint ball guns, the armor for when getting hit, and numbers on each of the uniforms so the computers could know who shot whom for points. This was going to be one mad game.
"So what are we waiting for? Let's get ready and play! There are probably about thirty other people in there!" Shippou said and grabbed a chest guard.
The three of them got ready and put two extra guns and some paintballs in the pants just in case if they ran out. Miroku and Shippou put on their goggles and turned to Inuyasha. He took his own goggles and put then over his eyes and made sure that his ears weren't caught in the strap that went around his head.
Miroku and Shippou smiled when they were all ready and opened the doors into the paintball game-playing room. It was time. The two walked in, and soon Inuyasha to follow. This was definitely going to be one hell of a game.
