Chapter 6 - A Surprise Visit

It was mid-afternoon when Kagome and a disguised Inuyasha entered a small shopping centre. Kagome had managed to find one of her dad's old woollen hats, in a box in the basement. He was still wearing the same clothes from yesterday.

The two walked hand-in-hand towards the clothing department. Inuyasha still clutching Tetsusaiga.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." She said, trying to calm him down. He was quite edgy whenever he was around people from her time. He kept looking around, as if he was very paranoid.

"Keh." He said, trying to act normal. But then again, normal for him, wasn't normal for Kagome's time.

Finally they reached the clothing department. Kagome lead Inuyasha towards the men's section. She stopped and looked at different t-shirts and pants.

"Come here!" Kagome asked. Inuyasha walked over and stood, looking at the clothes. Kagome took a five shirts and three pairs of pants off the racks. She also had a pack of seven pairs of boxers, which she would just buy at the front.

"You have to try them on, to see if they fit." she said, motioning toward the t-shirts and pants.

Inuyasha began lifting his shirt off when Kagome yelled, "Not here!" She began to blush.

Inuyasha looked at her stupidly and said, "Then where?"
"They have changing rooms, over there!" she said pointing to a corner of the store. "Go over there and wait for me. I'm going to grab a few things I saw. Don't do anything stupid!" She handed him the clothes and walked towards the women's section and left Inuyasha by himself.

Inuyasha walked over to the change rooms and stared at the curtain. What do I do? He wondered.

"Excuse me, sir? Would you like to try those on?" asked a woman in a blue vest.

"Uh.. Yeah, I guess." He replied.

The lady pulled back the curtain on the first change room and said, "Here you go."

Inuyasha stepped in and closed the curtain. He took off his shirt and tried on the first one. It felt just like the shirt he had just had on. He figured it fit fine so he tried on the other four. They fit the same. He then tried on the pants, to find that they fit. He changed back into his original clothing and picked up the stuff he had tried on.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome waved. "Did they fit?" she asked walking towards him.

"Hai."

"Let's go then, I don't really want to stay here for too long." She said taking his hand and walking with him toward the counter. She laid down the few skirts and tops she had bought, as well as his pants, tops, and boxers.

The lady scanned them and said, "Your total comes to 11,255 yen."

Kagome fished around in her pockets for her wallet. She pulled it out an gave the cashier the money.

"Inuyasha, can you please put those in bags?" She asked, as the cashier handed Kagome her change. She the coins in her wallet and pocketed it.

He walked down to the end of the counter and packed a few plastic bags with their purchases. She walked toward Inuyasha and picked up of two of the bags while Inuyasha took the other two. They decided to walk back to the cabin, seeing as it was a nice day and the cabin was fairly close by.

"So Inuyasha, what do you want to do when we get back to the cabin?" She asked, with a smile on her face. "We have two weeks here. I'd sort of like to explore the mountains and forest. I've heard they're really beautiful this time of year."

"Sure, whatever you want to do. But I'm getting hungry…" He complained.

"Inuyasha, you're such a-"

"Kagome-chan!" The high pitched voice, of someone quite familiar, interrupted from behind the couple.

"Yuka-chan?" Kagome exclaimed in surprise, turning to face the girl.. Inuyasha stood staring, as the two girls hugged, resisting the urge to cover his ears.

How can she have such a high pitched voice?

"What are you doing here? I thought you were just joking when you said that!"
"You've known me since forever and you thought I would actually leave you up here all alone when you were feeling so down?" She asked smiling. "I'm staying with my aunt for the holidays."

Kagome shook her head and laughed. She waited a moment as Yuka's gaze found Inuyasha. Her eyes widened and she stuttered, "Kagome is… are you… Kagome!"

"Inuyasha this is Yuka, Yuka this is Inuyasha." Kagome said, quickly introducing them.

Then she grabbed an ogling Yuka and told Inuyasha, "Wait here, we'll be back soon. We're just going to the washroom."

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and nodded. He took Kagome's bags and the two girls walked off. He looked around and found a bench. He placed the bags on it and sat down, awaiting the girls return, whilst his stomach growled hungrily.

------

"Oh, Kami-sama!" Exclaimed Yuka.

"Shhhh.." Kagome said, blushing a bit.
"So, that's Inuyasha, huh… So what happened? I thought, you know, you hated him and never wanted to see him again. And what's he doing here, anyway? What did he say? Give me details." Yuka demanded.

Kagome relayed what had happened on the train and sort of trailed off when she got to what had happened at the cabin.

"Aw, that is so sweet! After everything you'd told me about him, I never thought he would apologize. He seemed so egotistical." Yuka said.

"Oh, he's egotistical alright." Kagome told her, laughing, "But I guess he really does have a kind heart. And after all Kikyo just wanted him to be happy and so he did his best. I guess he'll always love her and there's nothing I can do about. But I'm ok with that, because I know… I know that he loves me too, and that we're meant to be. I know that I can never break that bond and I don't want to try. I just want to make the bond between us stronger." Realizing that she had just poured her heart out, she became a tad self-conscious and began to blush.
"Oh Kagome! You're in love!" Yuka observed, giggling. She hugged her friend tightly. When she pulled away she added in a whisper, "Now I understand why you turned down Hojo so much, though. Inuyasha is g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s! Gorgeous! He has a killer body! And you two make such a cute couple!"

The two girls giggled, and Kagome blushed even redder. When they had stopped laughing Yuka said she had one more question.

"So, what happened when you got to the cabin?"

I was afraid she'd ask that… Kagome thought, awkwardly.

"Well… I made some dinner and then… well…"

"Kagome-chan! I'm your best friend, you can tell me!" Yuka whined, giving Kagome a puppy-dog face.

And Kagome told her about her wonderful night, discluding one, er, certain part. She did have a right to some privacy.
"Kagome-chan!" Yuka yelled happily. She grabbed her friend and danced around the small bathroom.

"Yuka-chan, stop! I'm getting dizzy!" Kagome

"Gomen, gomen! I just got a little carried away." She sighed, and her eyes took on a far away look. She snapped out of it and asked, "So what do you plan on doing for the rest of the break?"

"Well, I don't know. I guess we'll just stay here. I want to go up into the mountains. But other than that, we don't really have plans."
"What about Christmas?" Yuka asked, astounded.

"Hmm… Well I wasn't really planning on doing anything but… You could come over if you'd and we could have decorate the house! It would be Inuyasha's first Christmas. It'd be a lot of fun!" Kagome said happily.

"Hai!" Yuka exclaimed.

This trip was turning out to be much better than Kagome had expected.

"Come on," Kagome said, "We can't leave Inuyasha out there long. Who knows what trouble he'd get into!" The two girls laughed and left the bathroom.

"So how did you get here?" Kagome asked as they walked towards Inuyasha.

"Well, I took the train this morning. I was planning on surprising you." Yuka explained. Kagome nodded.
"Why were you out shopping anyway?" Yuka asked, curiously.

"Well, Inuyasha got on the train by sneaking in my bag." Kagome shook her head and laughed. "But that was my clothing bag. He dumped it out to make room for himself. So I had to go out and buy Inuyasha and myself new clothes. He can hardly walk around in his kimono." Yuka nodded in understanding. They spotted Inuyasha on a bench and walked towards him.

"Here I'll take two of them." Kagome told him. Inuyasha stood up and handed her two bags.

Before they began to walk, Kagome said, "Hold on a sec Yuka-chan, I need to talk to Inuyasha." Yuka nodded and Kagome pulled Inuyasha away.

"Yuka-chan is my best friend, and I told her all about Sengoku Jidai. Please try and be nice. Just do your best, for my sake? And I think once you get to know her, you'll like her!" She told him. Inuyasha nodded and smiled at her.

The three then began walking in the direction of the cabin.

"So Inuyasha," Yuka began, a sly look in her eye. " Exactly what are your intentions with Kagome-chan?"

"Yuka-chan!" Kagome cried embarrassed.

"Well, I need to know. I want to be sure that he isn't a weirdo or anything. I mean, I believe what you've told me Kagome, but I need to know for myself!" Yuka explained with a devilish smile. Kagome protested, her cheeks flushing cherry red, but Yuka covered her mouth with a hand
"Intentions? What are you talking about?" Asked Inuyasha, curiously. .

"Well, what do you plan on doing with her?" Yuka stated.
Inuyasha, being as blunt and to the point as he was, said, "Well, I was thinking, you know, we could-" But Kagome got Yuka's hand off of her mouth and shouted, "Osuwari!"

Inuyasha slammed into the ground.

Yuka burst into laughter, and people all around stared at them and passed as quickly as they could.

Kagome knelt down beside Inuyasha and apologized. "Ah, gomen Inuyasha… I just didn't think it was any of Yuka-chan's business." She mock glared at Yuka, but they burst out into laughter.

"Yeah, well next time, why don't you try just telling me to shut up." Inuyasha rolled his eyes and got up. "I swear, one day, my back is just going to give out. And then who's going to protect you, huh? Miroku's a wimp and a pervert, and Shippo is a shrimp. Well at least Sango is helpful. She's better than the other two combined."

Kagome giggled and reassured Inuyasha that she wouldn't sit him anymore. Though he hardly believed.

The three talked about various things until they reached the cabin.

Kagome hopped up the steps and put her bags down. She took out the key and unlocked the door. She held it open for Inuyasha and Yuka, then she stepped inside.

"Kagome-chan, this place brings back so many memories, you know?" Yuka said nostalgically, taking off her jacket.

"You've been here before?" Inquired Inuyasha, who had no jacket to take off. He had insisted it wasn't cold, even though there was snow on the ground. People stared at him as he walked down the snow-covered street in nothing but a t-shirt and jeans. He walked over and sat on the couch.
"Yeah, we all used to come here as a kid. I came with friends, or with my family. It was a lot of fun." Kagome answered, unzipping her jacket.
"Remember that time Souta nearly set the house on fire. Your mom wouldn't let him near the fireplace for ages." Yuka giggled as she remembered.

"Yeah! The poor kid still hates being around fire." Kagome replied, laughing. "Anyway, Yuka-chan, how long do you plan to stay?"

"Well, just for today, then I'll come back on Christmas. Cause like I said before, I'm staying with my aunt." Yuka explained. Then she moved towards Kagome and whispered in her ear, "Besides, I don't want to interrupt the two love birds during their private time."

Kagome shook her head and began blushing furiously, because she realized that Inuyasha had heard that too. Inuyasha stared at her and then looked at Yuka.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" She yelled, her face bright red. Inuyasha began to blush too and turned away.

Yuka, realizing that Inuyasha must have a heightened sense of hearing, as he was half dog. She began to blush to but burst into laughter.

Finally, the tension in the room ceased and all three of them laughed the comment off.

Kagome walked into the kitchen and grabbed three sodas. She brought them back into the room and told Yuka to have a seat.

Kagome sat down on the couch beside Inuyasha and Yuka sat across from them in a chair. Inuyasha took a soda and opened it.

Yuka reached over and took one, sipping on it as she watched Inuyasha and Kagome.

Wow. Look at those two. Kagome seems so much happier now... I guess Inuyasha really isn't as bad a guy I'd thought.

And look at him. Man, he is hot! She giggled inwardly.

Yuka smiled happily, grateful that Kagome was feeling better.

"Inuyasha, you can take your hat off."Kagome told him.

"Good! I thought I was going to go crazy. It's so itchy."
Inuyasha reached up to his head and pulled the wool cap off, revealing his ears. Yuka chirped in excitement.
"I cant believe it! Wow they're real! Look at them! They're so cute! Puppy ears."
Inuyasha groaned.

"They are not puppy ears they are DOG ears. Jeez, don't you people know the difference?"

Kagome and Yuka started to laugh. From then on things eased up. Yuka stayed and the three had dinner together.

After dinner, Yuka glanced at her watch.

"Whoa! It's getting late. Well I'd better be going." She said.

"Are you sure you're going to walk? It's pretty dark. Why don't you call a cab?" Kagome suggested.

"Nah, I'll walk. I need the fresh air." Yuka grabbed her coat and opened the door. Kagome ran over and gave her friend a hug.

"Nice meeting you Inuyasha!" She called, waving at the hanyou. "Ja ne Kagome-chan! Sayonara Inuyasha!"

Yuka walked down the steps and towards the main road.

Kagome closed the door and smiled.

I forgot to mention in the previous chapter..But I hope I got the money conversions right.. If not, please tell me and I'll fix them.

I guess I'd better know Japan's currency system...(Considering I am SO moving there when I'm older. No really, I am.)

Or Maybe I'll go with my friend, J, to Korea.. and then she can accidently "lose" me at the airport.
I wonder what the parents would think of that? -devilish laugh- (as you've probably noticed over the past authors notes, I'm insanely obessesed with the action of laughing.. devilishly!)

Anyway, it sounds like a good plan, no:D

Anywho.

See ya next time!
