It took Sango a little longer to get to the mall then it would've taken me. I guess Sango isn't a slow driver, but then again she isn't me.
"Were only a couple minutes late!" She exclaimed as we got out of the car.
"We would've been a couple minutes early if you had just let me drive." I mumbled under my breath. Fortunately she didn't hear me.
"Huh, did you say something?" Sango asked me as she linked her arm with mine and we headed towards the front door of the mall.
"Yup, I said let's shop!" We both giggled and walked in the mall, instantly heading towards the food court were we would meet Miroku.
Inuyasha's P.O.V
When I finally got home from school I immediately made Ramen and went into the living room to watch T.V. I was very happy that Sesshomaru wasn't home. He's hardly ever home, he says he is working. I think he owns a big company or something. Whatever it is, he makes a lot of money from it because were rich. I think that's the only reason why Kikyo even likes me, damn gold digger. Just like my ex-girlfriend. Soon after she broke up with me, one of her friends took it upon themselves to inform me that she only went out with me for my money. Then she laughed in my face and said if I at least looked or acted semi-normal then maybe I wouldn't be such a freak. She doesn't even know the half of it. As if I care what she or anyone else thinks, they can all rot in hell for all the shit I care. ((A/N- Oohh…. Someone has a potty mouth, Im getting the soap!))
DING DONG! ((A/N-the witch is dead, which old witch? The wicked witch. Ding Dong the wicked witch is dead! Ok, ill be quiet now, o.O))
I growled at the door, which stood about three feet away from the couch I was currently sitting on.
"Get your ass in here, I ain't your servant!" I yelled at the door, not really caring, nor knowing who was at the other end.
I heard the door open and smelt Miroku's sent come in. Then I heard rather loud footsteps coming towards me.
"Yo, what's up?" He asked as he sat down next to me, "You busy?"
"Oh yes, can't you tell? Im clearly up to my freakin' nose with things I need to do." I snarled at his obvious question. He just rolled his eyes. He's use to my attitude by now I suppose. Actually, he is the only one who puts up with me.
"Well then, were going to the mall!" He declared as he stood up from the couch.
"And when was this decided?"
"When you said you'd go with me." He stated, then grabbed my arm and lifted me to my feet. Actually he made a vain attempt to lift me to my feet. In reality he ended up falling on top of me.
"Wow Inuyasha, I never knew you felt this way about me. I never considered it before but im always up for new things." He whispered and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.
I threw him off me hurriedly, as if I've been burned, which I think I was.
"Pervert! What's your problem?" I yelled at him as he collided with my wall and landed on his back.
Amazingly, and much to my surprise, he got up and rubbed his back. I guess, after hitting on so many women, he kinda built up an immune system to pain. I should've thrown him harder.
"I was just joking, no need to throw me across the room." He said and walked towards the door, "Now come on, I've got to meet them at the mall in 20 minutes and it takes 10-15 minutes just to get there."
I just stood in front of the couch and stared at him, before turning my back on him. I crossed my arms and responded as usual. "Keh"
Then I felt something hit the back of my head. Growling, I turned around and saw a shoe on the floor.
"I said I ain't going!" I stomped my foot on the ground to get my point across.
SOME TIME LATER
I was standing in front of the food court with Miroku by my side. Yes, I was at the mall. How I ended up here you may wonder? Well, that's what I would like to know.
I hated the mall. It was always so crowded, loud and had so many different, horrible smells that it made me dizzy. Don't people shower?
I was dressed in a pair of black baggy jeans with all those pockets, because everyone knows that pockets are awesome. Don't deny it! I was also wearing a red T-shirt that said in black letters "get a life and get out of mine." I bought it because it reminded me of Miroku. I also had a black long sleeved shirt on under that. It was getting pretty cold out after all.
Miroku was wearing the same pants as me and a purple t-shirt on, with the same black shirt underneath. Why his favorite color is purple is beyond me. I just want to know why we are wearing practically the same exact clothes! Can't he buy clothes that aren't so much like mine?
"They are late, stupid wenches." ((A/N- Wenches, Is that how you spell it, Im not exactly sure?)) I said, as I checked my watch for the umpteenth time in the past 10 minutes.
"They are only 5 minutes late. Kagome said she'd meet us here, so I know she will. After all, she's not one to lie." Miroku said, as he watched a girl in really tight jeans and an even tighter shirt walk by.
I just growled in annoyance and looked around the overly crowded mall. A lot of people kept bumping into me to do only kami knows what. I also noticed that a group of girls had taken it upon themselves to stare at me. I sent them deadly glare and a fierce growl. Most of them giggled and walked away. The others just looked at me in horror before sprinting away and out of my sight.
I looked around the mall for the girls we were supposed to meet. Although I didn't know what they looked like. I soon smelt blood nearby and tried to find the source of it.
I saw two girls headed in out general direction. They were both wearing the school uniforms. They were laughing and seemed to be fairly happy. Although I could tell that the girl with the long black hair, which went half way down her back and was kinda curly, was in pain. I soon saw the bandages on her leg and noticed how every now and then she would wince and limp, usually when the other girl with long brown hair pulled up into a high ponytail wasn't looking.
The strange thing was that the hurt girl looked kinda like Kikyo. Except this girl was smiling a beautiful smile. She was also happy and her eyes shone with amusement. She wasn't at all pale like Kikyo. She had rosy cheeks and she didn't have as much of a mature look to her. She was basically a silly-girl-version of Kikyo. Although I must admit she was really cute, unlike that ugly bitch Kikyo.
I quickly shook my head of these thoughts. I didn't even know this girl. Nor did I want too.
I noticed Miroku was gone, but soon saw him walking over to me, red handprint in place. About ¾ of the time he had a red handprint on his face, or was knocked out.
"Hey look," he yelled in my ear and pointed at something, "that's them!"
Miroku smiled and called over to them. I saw the Silly-Girl-Version of Kikyo and her friend walk over to us immediately.
"Hey Miroku!" She and her friend called back. Miroku eyed the two girls as if he were a dog and they the steak. He slowly made his way over to them.
"What happened to your leg Kagome? Are you okay?" He asked and walked closer to her in order to examine the cut. Yeah right…
"Oh, it's nothing really. Ill be fine." Ka-go-me, I guess her name is, replied as she eyed Miroku suspiciously, who was currently a bit to close for comfort.
I counted to 10 under my breath. I only got to 6, a new personal record for him. I'd have to congratulate him later for his achievement. If he's still alive that is.
Apparently this girl was pretty strong for a human. After Miroku had 'stealthily' rubbed her ass, she had hit him over the head rather hard. Miroku was now lying on the ground, unconscious. The other, non-hurt girl chuckled at this.
"What's so funny?" Kagome asked her friend.
"Oh, im just happy it wasn't me for once. Also, this is a new all-time low for him. Asking if your okay and acting all concerned, then rubbing you but! He will never change will he?"
"I suppose not."
I guess they hadn't noticed me, or they'd probably be staring at me as if I were some kind of one-man freak show. I cleared my throat in order to make myself known. The girl with brown hair stared at me and examined my hair and eyes in shock, typical.
As for Kagome, she walked up to me with a big smile and held out her hand.
"Hey! My name is Kagome. You must be Miroku's friend!" She exclaimed. "What's you name?"
I just growled at her before crossing my arms and turning my back on her. I had expected for her to get irritated and leave me alone, or something along those lines, but to my surprise I found her in front of me as I turned around.
"I asked you your name. It's only right to give an answer." She said, trying to sound polite.
"Uhhh…." came my smart response, as I wondered how the hell she got in front of me so quickly when she was clearly just behind me a second or two ago.
"Kagome this is Inuyasha. He's not very talkative." Miroku said, obviously trying to control my rising temperature.
Who was she to demand something of me anyways? She doesn't even know me! And since when was Miroku conscious!
I opened my mouth to yell at the stupid girl but she wasn't there anymore. Instead she was walking away with Miroku and that other girl as I stood there like an idiot.
"Come on Inuyasha, I have to pick up something at a shop nearby." She smiled and waved as if nothing had happened.
Strange girl.
The first place we headed to was a nearby gaming store, which was a surprise. I thought we'd just be in stupid clothing stores or something.
"I need a new DDR pad." Kagome explained. ((A/N-Do they play DDR in Japan? Either way they are playing it in my story though :-p sorry if you object for some strange reason.))
"I told you im not going to play DDR." Sango sounded exasperated.
"Wait, you play DDR?" I asked Kagome. She really didn't look like the type to play DDR, she looked more like a preppy bitch. Then again that might've been because she was still in her school uniform that made everyone look like preps.
"Why do you seem so surprised?"
"I just didn't know your type played DDR."
"My type?" Kagome asked, raising one of her eyebrows.
"Yeah."
"And what exactly is my type?" I could see Miroku trying to tell me not to say what I was thinking.
"The preppy, self-centered, 'oh I broke a nail, im going to die' type."
I guess she got pretty mad. She clenched her fist and walked over to me, but Sango held her back.
"You don't even know me!" Kagome barked at me.
"Well, I can just tell."
"Oh really? And how can you tell? Certainly not by my clothes, seeing as I didn't have time to change out of my uniform. It also can't be my personality because this is the first time I've ever talked to you. So tell me, how did you come to this conclusion?"
I opened my mouth to answer and then closed it. I repeated this a couple of times before deciding what I was going to say.
"Wench, I bet you can't even play right." Oh yeah, that was smooth.
"I can beat you any day!" Sango had let go of her by now and Kagome was currently shouting at me. Her face was about two inches from my own.
"It that a challenge? I'll take you on any day, any time and any place, wench."
"My name is Kagome! Ka-go-me!"
"Keh." I crossed me arms and turned my back on her. "I'll call you whatever I want."
"I got you your DDR pad Kagome, let's go." Sango grabbed Kagome's arm and walked out of the store, Miroku following closely behind.
"Come on Inu!" Miroku laughed and ran away.
"Get back here Monk!" I chased after him but accidentally ran into Kagome and knocked her down. Of course I just had to run into her. When she fell, I saw her leg bend and hit the ground as she winced and applied pressure to her leg by pressing on it gently with her hands.
"Keh, stay out of my way wench."
"Excuse me? You were the one not paying attention to where you were going and therefore ran into me." I watched as she stood up and was about to fall over. I quickly ran behind her and caught her before she hit the ground again. Why I did this? I do not know. I guess she really didn't deserve to fall in the first place, never mind again. I guess I shouldn't be so mean either. She hadn't done anything to deserve it… yet.
"Uhhh… thanks." She said as she regained her composure.
"Keh." Kagome smiled at me and walked over to Sango. They both entered an ice cream store as I heard Kagome call back to me.
"Come on Inuyasha!"
Silly girl, one second she yells at me, the next she thanks me and wants me to go with her. She's cute when she's mad though. The way her little nose wrinkles. I like how she sticks up for herself and doesn't just sit back and take it or cower in fear, trying to gain sympathy, like most girls do.
Wait, what am I doing!
Shaking my head clear of these thoughts, I saw Miroku come up beside me with a confused expression on his face.
"Ice cream shop." I answered his unasked question, while pointing in front of me.
His mouth formed an 'oh' shape as we both headed towards the ice cream shop.
A little while later, after we all got milkshakes, we were following the girls around the mall and carrying their many bags. I just knew that we would have to go into the clothing stores.
Sango and Kagome were in front of me and Miroku, talking. They sure do talk a whole lot. Normally I would wonder why Miroku would want to go to the mall just to be treated like a pac-mule. That's if I didn't know him. He was currently staring at Sango's ass and already had a red handprint on his face along with a lump on his head from Kagome and Sango.
Before I knew it, we were outside. I wasn't complaining though. Maybe we could finally go home.
We reached a pretty nice car and put all of the bags in it. It's amazing it all fit, I just want to know where the girls are going to sit when they go home.
"What do you need all this stuff for anyways?"
All three of them turned around and stared at me, then stared at the car.
"Actually, I think we might have over done it a bit." Kagome observed, as Sango nodded her head in agreement.
"So girls, you wanna get something to eat with me and Inuyasha before heading home?" Miroku asked, hoping for more chances to rub their buts no doubt.
"I don't see why not. Im pretty hungry anyways." Sango answered, "But where should we go?"
"The mall stupid, where else? We are already here after all." I said, walking towards the mall that we had just left.
They just shrugged their shoulders and followed me into the mall.
"So how come I haven't seen you around school?" Kagome asked me as she showed up at my right side, "Are you in Miroku's grade?"
"Yeah." was my simple reply.
"How come you never come with us to the mall or to the movies or anything?"
Silence
"Miroku always says his 'friend' might show up, but nothing else. You should come with us next time we hang out." She said brightly, though I was clearly being ignorant and angry.
"Keh." I said, again. I guess it's not that bad hanging out with them, except for the whole pac-mule thing. We all did talk every now and then. Sango and Kagome seem pretty okay, I guess.
When we reached the food court, ((A/N- The mall food court has a bunch of chairs and tables in the middle, surrounded by various food stores. There is also a play area in the corner of the mall, along with an arcade.)) we played janken, (rock, paper, scissors) in order to figure out who would be getting the food, seeing as we all wanted WacDonalds. I didn't lose, of course, but Kagome did. While she got the food, the rest of us found a table. I sat next to Miroku, who sat next to Sango, who glared daggers at Miroku.
"I hope she makes it back in one piece." I heard Sango say and looked up to see what she was talking about.
"Who Kagome? Why wouldn't she?" Miroku said, while trying to inch closer to Sango.
"Well she tends to be very clumsy at times and with her leg…" Sango kept looking over at Kagome.
"She'll be fine. Although I don't see how she is going to carry all that food." Miroku observed. "How-"
"Especially when you ordered so much." I interrupted Miroku, looking towards Sango.
"Well I missed lunch and im hungry!" She defended herself as she stood up and yelled at me.
"Sango, how did Kagome get her wound?" Miroku asked, but was ignored.
"Alls im sayin' is it's no wonder you look the way you do, what with all the food you eat." I stated calmly, as I leaned back in my chair ever so casually.
This seemed to piss her off, a lot. She clenched her hands and her face turned red.
"You Jerk! How could say something like that?" She was about to hit him when a loud 'bang', much like a gun shot, was heard.
Authors P.O.V
The food court got unusually quiet, and then all hell broke loose. In an instant, trays dropped, people screamed and some cried, praying they wouldn't die. All as they were trying to scramble towards the exit.
Immediately Sango searched the area for Kagome. She had a pretty good idea of where the gun shot came from and who is was aimed for.
"Come on Sango, we have to get out of here!" Miroku shouted, but Sango didn't seem to notice. She had just spotted Kagome.
Kagome was currently being chased by two men in yellow trench coats.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
"Why do I always have to go with rock?" Kagome screamed to no one in particular, while she stood in line for WacDonalds.
A few people turned to stare at the ranting girl before going back to doing what whatever it was they were doing at that moment.
Kagome looked around at all the people in the mall. Teenagers gossiped, couples were showing their love for each other in, what Kagome thought, was more then people wanted to see and adults bustled about, hurrying to get everything done. A few children scurried across the food court, heading towards the play area.
Kagome moved with the line, slowly. She watched with interest as a kid tripped onto the floor. However, he didn't cry. He just got right back up and looked around. He seemed scared of something.
When Kagome looked closer she realized that it wasn't a kid. It was a demon. Actually, it was a fox kitsune to be precise.
The little fox had long red hair pulled up into a ponytail with a green ribbon. The ribbon matched his big green eyes. He also had a big bushy tail sticking out from his kaki jeans. His shirt was blue and had a character on it.
–Most likely from one of those T.V. shows Souta always watches.- Kagome thought.
What confused Kagome most was, what was a demon doing out in the open, undisguised?
-Hopefully people would think it was just a fox costume or something.-
Kagome quickly looked around; she had a pretty good idea why the young fox looked so terrified.
Then she saw a few kids run up to the kitsune. One of the bigger kids pushed the kitsune onto the ground and called him a freak.
With a relived sigh, it could've been a whole lot worse, Kagome decided that this was more important then food. She just couldn't leave the little guy, and what happened if he lost his temper and used his powers?
Kagome got out of line and walked over to the kids.
"You leave this boy alone." Kagome said roughly, placing her hands on her hips as a mother would.
The kids looked up into the teenage girls' angry face and ran away. All except for the biggest one, the one who had pushed the little fox. The kid walked over to the kitsune and was about to kick him when he was yanked back by his rather short hair.
The kid howled and grabbed his head in pain. He called the teenage girl a bully, and then ran after his friends, who were waiting for him around the corner. Kagome bent down and picked up the little fox kitsune.
"Are you okay?" She asked in a kind, gentle tone, concern showing in her eyes.
The fox said nothing but looked around, still frightened
"It's okay, they are gone now." Kagome said, still holding the young kitsune (kit) that looked to be around the age of 6.
"I wasn't running from them." The young kit said in a shaky voice.
"Then wha-" Kagome didn't have to finish her sentence. She knew who was after the kit.
As if to clarify her thoughts, she saw two men racing towards her and the kit, the men were dressed in yellow trench coats.
-Yellow?- Kagome thought, as she saw that one man had a gun and it was pointed straight towards her and the young kit.
"Oh great." The young Miko said, as she held the kitsune closer to her and he buried his head against her chest.
Kagome turned around to run but there was a group of people in her way. She turned back and saw that they were closer.
-Just my luck.-
The bigger of the two strangely dressed men pushed aside a couple of people to get a clear view of the kit. Then the slightly shorter one aimed his gun.
BANG
The slightly shorter guy had shot his gun.
A/N- Ok everyone, that's that! I hope you enjoyed it! Im so excited right now! Im going to see Harry Potter today in the movie theater! Well, in the next chapter, the truth will come out! ((Please, please review))
Till then…
