Chapter Twenty-Six

"Kagome! What are you wearing!" Rin screeched with her hands on her face in shock.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Kagome said in confusion for she had not realized what she had thrown on in the last second.

Sango quickly grabbed Kagome by the wrist and pulled her into her own stall and pulled Kagome in front of the mirror. Kagome yelled in embarrassment. There in the mirror was Kagome in her white no-sleeved shirt with the pair of "jeans" she went to try on. But instead of grabbing jeans, Kagome had grabbed a pair of boy's pants that were the size of the pants clowns wore for their shows. And to add to that, it was spray-painted in an ugly vomit color that didn't fit her at all. Kagome pushed Sango out of the stall and went to go change. She took off the pants, but then noticed something was wrong. She wasn't in her own stall. She quickly ran out of Sango's stall into hers with Rin and Sango still standing in the stall hallways. Kagome took a breather once she was in her own stall and changed into a pair of normal dark blue cute jeans. She looked in the mirror and smiled and then walked out. For the next hour the three giggled and smiled about the clothes each of them tried on, never forgetting the one pair that Kagome was caught wearing.

During the time of shopping the girls had done, the boys were most definitely enjoying themselves in the paintball game room. At the moment Inuyasha was in the far right corner of the left side of the A-hall in the game room, Miroku in the center hiding between two fake rocks in the B-hall and Shippou in the back of the B-hall trying to sneak up on Miroku. Inuyasha crept towards the B-hall to see where the others were, but when he wasn't watching his back he got hit by another player.

"Gotcha!" shouted a boy who looked about the same age as Inuyasha himself, maybe a few years younger who was dressed in blue guarding.

He was laughing hysterically when he saw the look on Inuyasha's face once he had gotten hit. It was priceless.

Inuyasha tightened his grip on his paintball gun in his right hand and slowly turned to face the boy, not noticing a few others who were just staring to see the action about to occur.

"You're dead!" Inuyasha screamed, which was louder than he meant to scream, making his yells reach the other halls: B and C.

Inuyasha ran towards the boy shooting with everything he got, with the boy not far a head of him running from his shots.

Miroku had heard Inuyasha's yell and shook his head for he knew that the poor sucker that had shot Inuyasha for the first time in the passed hour was definitely in for it. Miroku had risen a little from his hiding place and by that time Shippou had reached where he was and shot Miroku in the back, thanking Inuyasha to himself for the distraction.

"Shippou! I'll get you!" Miroku yelled and started shooting back at Shippou, both laughing.

Finally the game was finished a half an hour later and the score points were up and posted to see. First place would be awarded to the person who shot the most people and got the less hit. Second place was the person who was shot the second least and shot the second most people, so on and so on. The three boys were laughing at the game that they had just finished and most definitely enjoyed. They had unchanged from their equipment and were walking out of the room they had changed in. The walked around into the base room to look at their placings.

'First- Inuyasha Takahashi –HITS- 78 –HITTEN- 2'

Shippou patted Inuyasha on the back.

"Way to go man! You placed first, and I think you got the highest record as well!" Shippou laughed.

Inuyasha smiled, being proud of his score. The others person that had got him was that one kid and a kid who thought shooting him in the arm would be funny and shot him when he was beating up the other kid.

"What did you two place?" Inuyasha asked looking at Miroku and Shippou.

Miroku scanned the score board.

'Fourteenth- Miroku Tahamkou –HITS- 56 –HITTEN- 18'

Miroku sighed. Today definitely wasn't one of his paintball days.

"I got fourteen." Miroku sighed again.

Inuyasha laughed, "Don't worry, there were sixty-three players in there, so fourteen isn't bad."

Shippou kept scanning for his name. Where was it? He couldn't have scored that low could he? He reached the bottom of the list and still he didn't see his name.

"I can't find my name." Shippou said.

Inuyasha and Miroku looked up at the screen. Inuyasha saw his name the moment he looked.

'Fourth- Shippou Nahurmoh –HITS- 63 –HITTEN- 12'

"Shippou are you blind? You placed fourth!" Inuyasha said.

Miroku patted Shippou on the back.

"Great job man!"

"Thanks. So what do you guys want to do now?" Shippou said once he noticed that he was bored.

"Let's call the girls. I'm not in the mood to play anymore arcade games." Miroku said.

Shippou and Inuyasha looked at each other and laughed.

"Sore loser, and anyways you didn't lose." Shippou said.

Miroku sighed. "What ever."

"You sound like Inuyasha." Shippou laughed harder, but his laughter was cut short by a punch in the head from Inuyasha and Miroku.

"Hey! I'm only stating the damn truth!" Shippou grunted.

Miroku and Inuyasha laughed. Miroku pulled out his cell phone and dialed Sango's number. It rang a few times and went to the answering machine.

'Hey it's Sango; I'm not here right now, so leave a message for me to pick up later. Thank you and I hope to get back to you later.'

Miroku sighed and went to leave a message.

"Hey Sango, it's Miroku, Shippou, and Inuyasha. Calling to see if you guys are ready to leave yet, we'll try calling your cell again and if not we'll try Kagome's and Rin's. Later." Miroku hung up his phone and dialed the number again.

"Getting the answering machine Miroku?" Shippou asked.

"Yup. Did you try Kagome's?" Miroku asked again.

"Nah, I'll call her now. You now Kagome, she'll always answer her phone no matter where and what she is doing, unless she's in real trouble." Shippou laughed. "One time she was in the middle of her shower and picked it up."

Shippou eyed Inuyasha for any movements of the talk of Kagome in a shower naked. Inuyasha had a slight blush, probably from imagining the sight, and didn't give Miroku nor Shippou eye contact. Shippou laughed. Miroku shut his phone again; no answer.

Shippou pulled out his cell phone and dialed Kagome's number. He got an answer.

"Hey Kagome, what's up?" Shippou said calmly, yet sort of laughing.

'Yo, Shippou! Man do we have a surprise for you guys tonight at Sango's place! Anyways nothing much we're pretty much done, you?' Kagome said laughing in response.

"Ha, ha hope it's a good one. Anyways, ya we're done. Where should we meet?" Shippou replied.

'Um, you know where the water fountain in the middle of the mall is?' Kagome asked on the other line.

"Ya."

'Meet us there. We'll see you in a few. Later Shippou! Tell the guys I said hi!' Kagome said and hung up.

"So what's going on?" Inuyasha asked as he saw Shippou put his phone back into his pocket.

"Kagome said the girls have a surprise for us later tonight when were all over Sango's and that we should meet at the fountain."

"A surprise eh?" Miroku said, plotting dirty thoughts in his mind.

"Stupid lecher!" Shippou and Inuyasha said in unison and hit him on the head.

"Ok so meet them at a fountain, what fountain?" Miroku asked.

"Um, I'm not that sure, I just agreed with her." Shippou laughed with his hand behind his head.

"Then what are we going to do?" Inuyasha yelled.

"I don't know, we'll think of something!" Shippou yelled back.

"Wait!"

"What is it Inuyasha?" Miroku asked.

"I think I know where the fountain is! Is it a water fountain?" Inuyasha said looking at Shippou.

"Yup, that's what she said." Shippou said.

"I passed that fountain when I was running after the kid. I know where it is." Inuyasha said.

Miroku and Shippou sighed in relief, but then looked up at him in confusion.

"What kid?" Miroku asked.

"Never mind, come on let's go." Inuyasha said, grabbed his newly bought clothes, and walked towards the exit and for the escalator.

The three boys where to meet the girls at the fountain, then go to Sango's, and to what was going to happen there, was definitely going to be one hell of a surprise.
