REI'S CORNER: Heyah! I'm back for the time being with a new chapter! Sorry everyone, but you know the deal. School. Boys. Homework. Yeah. I'm a teen don't blame me! I had a good birthday if any of you were wondering...not like you did anyways. HA I caught you! Anyway. I hope you like this chapter. Oh and really important. If I don't update this story by June 1st, then don't expect any updates in a while, because I'll probably have some school things to do. Ok? Ok.

Chapter 18- That's What Girls do

"Mmm Pizza!" Kagome yelled.

"Yeah...and you can have some, right after we get you some new shoes. Honestly, you wear the same shoes everyday! They're torn at the bottom." Ayame said.

Kagome huffed and followed Ayame to the shoe store. It had been two days since the boys have left, and ever since then, Kagome and Ayame have been on an "All Girls Break Mission". They would go out, and have fun. Yesterday they went to an indoor water park nearby, and the day before that, they saw eight movies at the movie theater.

Kagome smiled. It was good to have Ayame as a friend now. They became pretty close, just like sisters, in almost no time at all. And it was all thanks to Inuyasha and Koga. If it weren't for them, Ayame would probably still be in a fancy hotel somewhere or something like that. Probably all alone. But now she had Koga, and she wasn't alone. And Kagome had Inuyasha now. Again. She missed Inuyasha. She could have smacked herself for that thought, but she had to admit it. She did miss him.

"Kagome, how did you and Inu meet again? It's such a funny story, tell me again!" Ayame asked while looking through various boxes of shoes.

Kagome laughed. "Fourteen years old, internet. Then I went to find him a little while ago to apologize for something I did then. He was engaged, his fiancee was a total air head, I brought him here the end."

Ayame laughed really hard, "And it never gets old! I gotta hand it to ya though, you know how to get your man!"

Kagome blushed at this, and found some blue sneakers very interesting.

"Kagome! Kagome!" they heard from a distance.

Turning her shoulder, Kagome spotted Sango rushing towards them, dodging the traffic of people, and pushing a few people out of her way while she was at it. She got a few curses her way, and she was quick to reply. Kagome laughed, while Ayame stared in curiosity.

"So that was your party I got smashed at?" Ayame asked, while picking up a piece of cheese pizza.

Sango nodded and grabbed a slice, laughing at Kagome, who already had three slices on her plate.

"By the way, where are those two guys?...um I don't remember their names..." Sango started.

"Inuyasha and Koga? Oh they went back to Illinois, remember I told you that they were just visiting? Yeah, well they decided to move her, and they're packing up their things." Kagome explained.

"She knows our boyfriends? How? What?" Ayame asked.

"Long story." Kagome replied.

"Boyfriends?" Sango asked.

"Long story." Kagome repeated.

An awkward silence fell on the three as they ate silently. But it was quickly interrupted when they saw a young man come flying at the table and slide under it. At first they all laughed. But then they looked to see if the poor guy was alright.

Kagome quickly jerked up and away from the table as she recognized the guy.

"Um...hey lets go, I'm full!" she said.

"What? We just got here." Ayame said.

"Well lets go to another table!"

Sango and Ayame, who were both still sitting at the table, gaped at her.

"Kagome, what's going on?" Sango asked.

"Oh...nothing...heh...just..."

"OH MY GOSH! KAGOME!" they heard from under the table.

"Oh no..." she muttered.

Sango got a better look at the guy.

"Hey, you're that guy in my socialists group! Hojo, right?" she asked.

The boy nodded. Kagome just backed away from the table.

"What are you doing here?" Kagome asked.

"I saw you get out of your car here, so I followed you around the mall until you got here! But some guys over there were going to beat me up...so I hid..." he answered.

Kagome growled. "What do you want from me!"

All of a sudden, Kagome was almost knocked over by a really big guy, who was trying to get over to Hojo. He started whining, and his face turned red. Kagome, Ayame, and Sango took that as their cue to leave...well after grabbing the pizza first of course.

As they were walking away, they heard protests from Hojo and yells from the big guy.

"Hey wasn't that Mikey, the mall cop?" Sango asked.

"I think so." Ayame replied.

"What? Who's Mikey? What? I'm lost! I knew I shouldn't have come to the mall!" Kagome whined.

Sango just laughed, and watched as Ayame dragged Kagome with them on the way to the exit.

"Since we're not shopping anymore...I propose pedicures!" Ayame yelled excitedly while getting into Kagome's car.

"What? No! It's bad enough you tormented me at this mall! No way! Nu-uh!"

Sango laughed.

"How about we just get the pedicure, Kagome? It would feel good after the week I'm having. Come on. My car's just around the corner, I'll be back in a second."

"Fine." Kagome muttered.

As soon as Sango got her car, they followed her home to drop off her car, then all three of them went to the nail salon to get pedicures. Kagome muttered the whole time, while Sango and Ayame had a great time. Kagome hated the way that Ayame was turning her into a girly girl. But it was fun to have friends...more than she could say about her childhood.

So overall she was having fun. She couldn't wait until Inuyasha came back. She would have stories to tell him, and he would love to hear about the Hojo event at the mall.

As the trio exited the nail salon, they saw on the small tv in a corner. The news was on. Kagome started laughing when she heard what they were talking about.

"What is it Kagome?" Sango asked.

"Listen!"

Ayame and Sango listened to the television.

"-I repeat, the young man was about twenty years old, about 5'9, 135 pounds, and dark brown hair. Some say he goes by the name of Hojo. If you know anything about this man, a.k.a 'The mall Stalker', please contact at the number below. Authorities hope to find him within the next 24 hours after he escaped from police custody. Once again, if you know anything about this man, contact the number listed below. Channel forty news. Marie Sanchezze. Back to you Ben."

The three laughed very loudly, receiving odd looks from other customers as they exited the building.

Kagome was REALLY having a good time. She couldn't wait to tell Inuyasha.

"Tomorrow, we're getting our hair done!" Ayame announced.

Kagome groaned.

Well. She was having fun.

But hey, that's what girls do, right?

ok EW I hated that chapter! It came out a lot worse than I thought that it would but don't give up on me please! After the next chapter, everyone will be back together again! Besides, the next chappie will be a lot better!
