Tami: Sorry I didn't post yesterday. My mood was not conducive to writing a
relatively good chapter. Trust me. If I'd have written yesterday, it
would've sucked majorly.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.
Last time:
"Buyo! Get up, you fat, lazy cat!" Buyo simply rolled over and fell asleep. Kagome sighed and Sango giggled. She reached down and scratched behind Buyo's ears. "I guess I'll have to make your bed later. Mama, Souta, and Jii-chan should be home soon."
"Kagome? What is this?" Sango pointed at Kagome's stereo. Kagome smirked and pushed the power button. Music started pouring out, not loud by Kagome's standards, but loud enough to Sango. She clapped her hands over her ears. "Make it stop!" Kagome laughed and turned it off. "What kind of demon was that?"
"It wasn't a demon Sango. It was my stereo. People record what they sing and sometimes it gets on the radio. There's tons of different stations with different types of music. Or you can put a CD in. A CD has one type of music from one singer." Sango nodded though still confused.
Now:
Sango and Kagome were walking around Kagome's kitchen. Kagome was explaining things as best she could. Some of it Sango understood, others she didn't. "So, this makes food cold and keeps it from spoiling, right?" Sango assured herself as she looked thoughtfully at the refrigerator. "It does not attack anyone when they try to get inside?"
"No." Kagome answered, stifling a laugh.
"Then why does it growl at people?"
"It's not growling. That's what it sounds like when it's working." The front door opened and Kagome's family walked in.
"Oh, Kagome, is this another one of your friends?" Mrs. Higurashi asked as she walked into the kitchen. Sango bowed politely.
"Yes, Mama. This is Sango. She's our resident demon exterminator."
"Konnichiwa Higurashi-sama." Sango said.
"Please, no sama. You can call me Mrs. H. or Mama. Most of Kagome's friends do." Mrs. Higurashi said. (/I swear, all of my friends call my mom, Mom and my dad, Dad./) Sango smiled. "Are you going to go to the mall tomorrow or is Inuyasha going to come steal you back in the middle of the night?"
"He better not. I'll sit him a thousand times if he does." Kagome said, her expression showing she didn't really mean it.
"If he comes, he has to come to this mall place too." Sango said. Kagome laughed as she envisioned Inuyasha in the mall.
"He'd totally freak out! We're not going til tomorrow. Sango's gonna borrow some of my clothes until we can get her some of her own."
"But I do not have any of your money." Sango said, hesitant to just take the offered money.
"Well, we can give you some. Think of them as a birthday present for however many birthday's we've missed." Mrs. Higurashi said. Sango still looked uncomfortable. "If it would make you feel better, you could do a few chores like Kagome and Souta do to earn money." Sango smiled.
"I would like that. How can I help?"
"You can help by helping Kagome do the dishes after dinner."
"Do the dishes?"
"I'll show you how. Anyway, we'll be up in my room if you want us, Mama." Kagome said. She grabbed Sango's arm and drug her upstairs.
"I wanted to meet your brother, Kagome."
"Plenty of time for that later. Jii-chan is coming and he'll think you're a demon until Mama can explain it to him. Explanations come easier when she's not angry. Jii-chan stuck an odufa on Sesshoumaru's forehead last time. We had a time getting the glue off." Sango laughed at the mental picture. She sat on Kagome's bed while Kagome sat on the chair at her desk. Sango picked up a magazine.
"What is this?"
"It's an American magazine. I got it so I could learn English better and read about American culture. It wasn't very informative."
"What is American culture like?"
"As far as I can tell by that magazine: make-up, clothes, boys, and sports matter the most. I don't think that's a fair assessment though, because there was an American transfer student last year and she was really great."
"Where is American?"
"It's America, and it's across the ocean. I'll borrow Souta's geography book later so I can show you." Kagome flipped on the radio, but turned it down a little. She bopped her head to the music.
"What are you doing?"
"Hm? Oh, nothing. I should take you to the under 21 club! That would be so much fun! We'd have to get you used to loud music though."
"Like how loud?" Kagome turned her stereo up to the max and yelled over it.
"LOUDER THAN THIS!" Sango grit her teeth.
"MAYBE WE SHOULD NOT GO! I DO NOT LIKE THIS!" Kagome laughed and turned down the music.
"Okay, so we won't go." Sango looked a little shell-shocked. Mrs. Higurashi called them down to dinner.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
The next morning, Kagome woke up to her mother's light shake. "C'mon Kagome. Wake up. Sango has been up since dawn." Mrs. Higurashi said.
"I'm up. I'm up." Kagome mumbled, sitting up and looking around the room through fuzzy eyes. "What time is it?"
"Almost nine." Kagome groaned and flopped back down.
"Too early."
"Why? Inuyasha gets us up much earlier than this." Sango said, walking into the room. She was already dressed in modern clothes. She wore blue bootleg jeans and a white quarter sleeve t-shirt with a red dragon on it. She spun around so Kagome could get a better look at the outfit.
"Very nice." Kagome commented.
"Thank you. It felt funny at first. I'm just glad Miroku is not here."
"Stupid lech would be groping you every chance he got." Mrs. Higurashi shook her head and left the room. Kagome threw the covers back and spun her legs off the bed. She was still in her pajamas. "We should get clothes for everyone else while we're here." Sango giggled.
"We should. Just to see the expressions on their faces."
"We'll have to guess at sizes though. Oh well. I'll go get showered and we can go." About an hour later, Kagome was ready. She wore flare leg jeans that the colors blended from dark blue to light blue and a black tank top. "Mama! We're going now!"
"All right! Be home before dinner and have fun!" Mrs. Higurashi called back.
"We're taking the bus. Remember what I said about the bus?" Sango nodded.
"The bus will not attack me even though it growls louder than the refrigerator. It moves in a weird motion. I should not do anything stupid like standing up and yelling while I am on the bus," she answered. "What do I win?" Kagome laughed.
"Grand prize is a pat on the back." Despite what she knew, Sango couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive about the bus. It growled loudly at her when it stopped at what Kagome called a bus stop. A door on the side opened and Kagome stepped inside. "C'mon Sango." Sango tentatively followed her. When it started moving, she had to swallow a yelp and fight the urge to stand up. She heard a snort. She looked over to see Kagome with her hands over her mouth and shaking. She was trying really really hard not to laugh. It wasn't working.
"Oh, just laugh already. I know, I am acting like an idiot." Kagome burst out laughing.
"I.I'm sorry! But you should..should.see your face!" Kagome struggled out between laughs. Sango frowned and realized her hands were gripping the seat in front of her so hard her knuckles were white. She sheepishly pried them off.
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Back in the feudal era, Inuyasha was pacing the clearing that the well was in. "How long is this mall thing going to take! They've been gone for almost a day!" he yelled.
"Why don't you go look for them?" Shippou piped up. Inuyasha shook his head vigorously. Kagome had warned him explicitly not to go. Shippou snickered.
"I wonder if Sango will wear clothes like Kagome's when she is there." Miroku said. He could just see Sango in Kagome's school uniform.
"Wipe your mouth, you are drooling." Sesshoumaru said with a smirk.
