Ch3; SHOPPING Part2:

Kagome turned around to find Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi looking at her happily, if not slightly accuseing. She stood up and looked at the clock which read only 2 pm. "Wait…shouldn't you still be at school?" she asked them.

They looked at her as though she were crazy. "Last day of school is always a half day." Yuka said.

"We got out an hour ago." Ayami confirmed.

"Why weren't you there. You look like you are doing ok." Eri said suspiciously.

Kagome thought quickly. "Oh, well you see, I wanted to, what with all the school I've missed. But I have some friends that came in this morning unexpectedly, and I had to show them around. I was just helping them pick out some clothes…"

"OHH! Who are they?" Eri squealed.

"Let me guess, it's your boyfriend, isn't it!" Ayumi said being nosy as usual.

Kagome blushed heavily. "Um…well…yea… …"

"Hey, Kagome. How's this?" Inuyasha said, walking out of the boy's change rooms, only to find all four girls staring at him with their mouths open. It was making him uncomfortable. He tried to make conversation "Um…kagome…aren't these your friends from school?"

Inuyasha looked…there is no other word: Hot. He was wearing navy blue jeans, a red t-shirt that fit him perfectly, showing of his muscular body and arms. His hat was at just the right angle; it covered his ears while still looking good. It was a sight that had for girls left speechless, and drooling.

"Oh, Kagome. Is he…is he your boyfriend?" Yuka asked her in awe. Poor Hojo never stood a chance, not with this hottie!

Kagome blushed again. "um…well…yea…sort of." She looked at Inuyasha, who was still clueless at why the girls were gaping at him. "At least...he's the one I told you about, but..." Just then they heard a noise coming from behind them. It was gasps of surprise.

Everyone turned around to see Miroku and Sango gaping at each other the same way the girls were. They both looked really good in their modern clothing. Miroku was not nearly as gorgeous as Inuyasha, but still very attractive, and Sango's clothes fit her perfectly! Miroku and Sango were stuttering at eachother, trying to find words.

"Sango, my dear!" Miroku said slyly. "Those clothes Kagome picked out look really good on you. We really should buy them."

Sango went red in the face, and looked away. "Um…you too. I think they look good. Kagome really does have a good eye." Then she noticed everyone watching her, and her face lit up like a Christmas ornament.

Kagome cleared her throat. "Guys, these are my friends from school. This is Eri, Yuka, and Ayumi. This is Sango, Miroku, Shippo's around here somewhere…and you just met Inuyasha."

Ayumi batted her eyelashes. "Inuyasha, hmm?" she said sweetly. "That's a lovely name."

Inuyasha looked at the girl and backed away. He recognized a flirt when he saw one, and, quite frankly, he wasn't really interested. And she was really creeping him out with the eyelash thing. Kagome had never done anything like that. Must be some future thing. Not knowing what to say, he simply said, "Uh…thanks."

"So, there's one more? Shippo, you say?" Eri asked her. "Where is he? How old is he?" is he as hot as this hunk?

"Um…" Kagome said unsurely. She hadn't thought of that. She wondered just how old Shippo was anyway. He had never told them. "He's…eleven. He's Miroku's little brother." Miroku gave her a pointed look but said nothing.

Her friends nodded, a little disappointed, and then turned there attention to Miroku. He was looking them over, a smile on his face. "Why, hello my good ladies. And how are you on this fine day?" He asked, holding their hands. Sango literally had steam coming out of her ears, and the three girls noticed.

"Miroku!" Kagome hissed. "These are my friends! And remember what you promised!"

Miroku looked at her shocked, "Why, Kagome! I can't believe you trust me that little. It really hurts! I will contain myself! You have my word." He looked at Eri one last time; "This only applies when we are at the mall, right?"

Kagome and Sango looked at him threateningly, and reluctantly let go of the girls hands. Meanwhile Yuka, Eri and Ayumi were looking utterly confused.

"I just thought I'd warn you." Sango whispered in Eri's ear, while the other two girls listened in closely. "Miroku is a Pervert. Do not answer him if he asks anything perverted. If Kagome hadn't ordered him not to while we're here, he probably would have…" Sango froze instantly when she felt a hand rubbing her butt. Everyone in the room went quiet. Sango turned around, and a loud slap resounded through the room "HENTAI!" Sango nearly screamed, and looked at the man who was now on the ground behind her.

Sango was utterly shocked. Her face went pale, and see turned to her left, only to see Miroku standing next to Kagome, looking very angry. She stared at Miroku un-believeingly. "But…if you are over there…then who…"

Miroku went over to the man on the floor, and picked him up by the collar of his shirt roughly. "And just what do you think you are doing?" he said, outraged. He looked at the store entrance, and saw some boys laughing their asses off. "What the hell are you laughing at!" He snapped furiously. The boys turned and ran away, still laughing uncontrollably.

"I-I'm sorry man!" The terrified boy Miroku was holding said. "It was only a dare! They made me do it!"

Miroku was furious. "I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! YOU DON'T JUST GO AROUND GROPING EVERY WOMAN YOU SEE!" he pulled him closer "get the hell out of my sight." he whispered dangerously and dropped the shaking boy, who ran out of the store with his tail between his legs.

Inuyasha was grinning uncontrollably. "Don't grope every woman in sight? That's actually good advice, Miroku. You should listen to yourself more often!"

Everyone laughed, and even the three clueless girls were giggling slightly. "I don't get it," Ayumi said. "Does Miroku do that a lot? I mean, you though that boy was him!"

Sango laughed. "Only about ten times a day! He just doesn't know when to stop!" She looked at him humorously, although she was secretly pleased at his reaction to the boy.

"My dear Sango!" Miroku said worriedly. "Are you alright? I mean, that was such a horrible thing for him to do! How dare he do that, although I can understand why he'd want to…" He grinned perverted, earning him a slap from a red Sango.

Shippo suddenly appeared from the change rooms, giggling. "Oh, Shippo! What's so funny?" Kagome asked.

"I saw the whole thing!" Shippo said, still laughing. Eri, Yuka and Ayumi were looking at him weirdly.

"Um…Kagome. Is this…Shippo? The one you were telling us about?" Ayumi asked. She was answered when Shippo jumped into her arms.

"Hi! I'm Shippo! Are you one of Kagome's friends?" He asked, putting on his adorable face, which captured all three girls instantly, and they let out a sigh. More like a girly AAAAWWWWWW!

"You bet!" Eri said cheerfully. "He's so cute!" She whispered to Kagome in a squeaky voice.

"So, Kagome. How long will they be staying with you?" Yuka asked her, still looking at Shippo.

"I'm not sure. They will be staying for the whole Christmas break, I know that." She said.

Ayumi squealed in delight. "Really? That's awesome! Do you guys want to come over tonight? I have a hot tub we could use."

Kagome thought for a minute. "That would be perfect, but I promised them we'd watch a movie tonight. Would you guys want to come?"

Ayumi was a little disappointed, but agreed all the same. "Sure, that would be cool! You guys could come over in a few days. What movie are you going to see?"

Kagome thought for a minute. "Well…we didn't really pick one. I guess we'll see if they have any good ones at the theater." She turned to the rest of the group. "What do you say? Do you all want to see a movie together?"

She was responded with eager grins from everyone. "That would be great!" Yuka and Ayumi said, while everyone else nodded in agreement.

"But later." Kagome said. Then she got an idea. "Hey, guys. My friends lost their luggage on the plane, so we have to buy them some outfits and stuff. Do you want to help us? It would be really cool, and you can get to know them better! What do ya say?"

All three girls squealed in joy, and agreed eagerly. With a quick giggle, all four girls spread out across the store. Within minutes, they had returned with more clothes for them to try on. They followed this routine at every storefor the next few hours before they decided to take a snack break.

"Guys, can you go get us a spot in line?" She asked her future friends. The three girls nodded and went on ahead, while Kagome talked to her the rest of the group. "OK, guys. We're going to stop for ice cream. Its a frozen treat, and comes in a lot of different flavors. Got it?" Kagome asked. They nodded, and went to join up with the girls.

They waited a minute, just talking, and then they got to the counter. "What would you like?" The man over the desk asked them.

"One scoop of Chocolate." Eri said.

"Me too!" Yuka added

"Two scoops for me! But, Vanilla please." Said Ayumi.

They all looked at Kagome, who said. "I'll have two scoops of Strawberry please. Miroku will have two chocolate, Sango two…" she looked at Sango.

"Two strawberry." Sango said.

Kagome nodded. "Shippo will have one scoop of cotton candy, and Inuyasha will have…" She looked at Inuyasha. "What do you want?"

Inuyasha looked at the choices that the Baskin 32 Robins had, and said. "I'll have one scoop…" Kagome looked at him oddly. She had thought he would take at least three scoops. "…of everything! One of each, please."

Everyone, including the rest of the line, gaped at him. "Are you sure, sir? You want one of everything?" the ice cream man asked him, not sure he had heard him right.

Inuyasha frowned. "What? You didn't hear me the first time? Yea, one of everything!"

The clerk sweat-dropped (anime stile). "Um…I don't think I can do that, sir…"

He was interrupted by a short man that just walked into the room, and right up to the counter, which he was only an inch taller than. "Oh, how could you, Bob! I am ashamed! Rule number one; the customer is always right! Now, you give him his order before I fire your sorry butt! Now move it!" the man yelled.

"Y-yes sir." Bob said anxiously. "Right away. One of everything! I'll get the bowls…"

"You idiot! Rule number five; never do anything without asking the customer first!" He turned kindly to Inuyasha, who was beaming with happiness. "Hello sir. Would you like it your ice cream in a bowl, or on a cone?"

Inuyasha thought for a minute. "You eat the cones, right?" he asked.

The little man looked up at Inuyasha and laughed. "That's a good one, mi-boy! Of course you eat the cones!"

"Then I'll have it on a cone, sir!" Inuyasha said, grinning even wider.

Everyone was looking at him like he was insane, and fell on the ground with there feet in the air. But the short man only laughed harder, and then put on a scary face and looked back at Bob, who was also on the ground.

"You heard the man! On a cone! And get a move on, your job is hanging by a thread!"

Bob shot up instantly and got his ice cream scooper. The midget turned back to the group. "You need to excuse Bob," he said kindly. "He has only been working here for a few weeks. He didn't know any better! Please forgive us, and remember that you are welcome to come back any time you want."

"Sir, your ice cream is ready…whoa! Sir…Ahh…can you please take your ice cream!" Came a pleading voice from behind the counter. It was a good thing this section of the mall had a high ceiling. Inuyasha's ice cream, with 32 scoops, nearly hit the high ceiling, and was a swirl of coulors reaching from cone to the tip. And poor Bob was at the bottom of it all, desperately trying not to let the ice cream tower of Piza fall over.

Inuyasha took it greedily, eyes lit up like a child on Christmas morning (AN; lol). Bob sighed in relief, and went to get the rest of the ice cream cones.

Shippo jumped next to Inuyasha. "Wow, Inuyasha! Have you had that before? Cause you sure seem to like it!" Shippo said, as Inuyasha was licking furiously at the ice cream.

"Here you go. Two one-scoop chocolates, a one-scoop of chocolate, two two-scoops of strawberries, a one-scoop cotton candy, and a one-scoop vanilla." Said Bob, as he handed out the ice creams.

Kagome looked at them all. "You go find a table. I'll pay the bill." She looked at Inuyasha's ice cream, only imagining what the final cost would be.

Bob looked at her, hand out in front of him. "That'll be $117.99." He took one look at the dismayed look on her face and said coolly. "And we don't accept credit cards."

Kagome was in a state of shock. She didn't have that much money on her! She had, at the most, maybe 60 dollars, but how was she supposed to pay that much? And this mall doesn't even have an ATM! Now what do I do?

The short man took one look at Kagome's expression, and began to yell at Bob. "How could you, Bob? This girl here has bought more than we make in half a day! Where is your Christmas spirit!" He turned to Kagome. "I'm very sorry, but he's right. We don't have a bank machine. But, I feel that in light of how much you bought, along with the Christmas season, we can drop the prices to 50. What do you say?"

Kagome's mouth dropped open. "Are you sure? I mean…you will really discount that much?"

The little man smiled merrily. "Ma'am, you are or favorite customer, for buying that much! And favorite customers always get discounts! How about it, Can you pay $58.99?"

Kagome didn't know what to say. How could she accept such a generous offer? "Sir…I really can't…"

"Sure you can!" He interrupted her, "As long as you come back soon! And bring that friend of yours!"

Kagome looked at Inuyasha and smiled. "Alright. And don't worry; with him around, I'm sure we'll come back." Kagome handed him $60, and walked over to the table, where Inuyasha had already eaten half of his icecream.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! That's the best! 32 scoops of ice cream on a cone! Poor Bob. But Kags got off lucky. And, I know I said the hojo bashing would start in this chap, but I couldn't fit it in! don't worry, they'll meet him at the theater! PLEASE REVIEW!

OH, AND MERRY CHRISTMAS!
