Chapter 2

Kagome opened her front door and skipped outside. She wore a black jacket with the words HIM on it, which matched her shirt, shoes, and her bag. Her jeans were black and she pulled a black beanie onto her head. The beanie also said HIM on it, and it had a flaming pentagram as the background. Suddenly, she stopped.

( Cami-chan, who this thing is dedicated to, loves the band HIM so thats why I put it. )

" InuYasha?" she said when she caught sight of a red convertible, whose driver looked familiar.

" Hey..I'm um...well, you see...I'm here to pick you up." InuYasha stammered.

" Really? Thanks." Kagome smiled at him.

Inuyasha opened the passenger side door to her. She stepped in and sat on the comfortable leather seat.

" Wow, this is so cool. Are you rich?" Kagome inquired.

" HOW THE HECK AM I SUPPOSED TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION?" he snapped.

" Okay, okay, you don't have to bite my head off."

After a five-minute drive, they reached HyMall ( which is actually Hyper Mall, I think. I failed to mention that last chapter. ). Sango and Miroku were bickering in front of Borders bookstore.

" Guys! Sango! Miroku!"

The two arguing froze and looked in Kagome's direction.

" Oh, you came together. He picked you up?" Sango asked.

" Yup."

" I HATE you." said Sango out of nowhere.

" WHY! I didn't do anything to you!" Kagome said.

" You didn't, but this HENTAI did." replied Sango.

" What do you mean?" said Inuyasha, who was puzzled.

" Wipe that confuzzled look off your face. You don't know that this BAKA is a HENTAI?"

" Um..."

" He freaking groped me! The one minute I had to wait here with him, and he groped me, then asked me the most...ARGH!"

" What?" Kagome and Inuyasha said together.

" He just.. NEVER MIND. But-"

Miroku jumped between the two girls. He took Kagome's hand. " Will you bear my child?"

" SEE WHAT I MEAN!" Sango screamed.

But before Kagome could reply, Inuyasha pummeled Miroku to the ground. " Don't you dare-"

" Oh, I apologize. I didn't realize that you liked-"

" SHUT UP OR I'LL HIT YOU AGAIN!" Inuyasha threatened

" I don't get anything right, do I?" Miroku said to himself.

" GUYS, GUYS! Stop fighting! Let's go have lunch. Why don't we take a vote? Who wants pizza?"

Silence.

" Sushi?"

" Oh my god, sushi's awesome! I want some!" said Miroku.

" I want Ramen." said InuYasha.

" I want hot dogs." said Sango.

"Well, I want pizza. It looks like we'll have to go to a restaurant with ALL WE CAN EAT BUFFET FOR ONLY FIVE BUCKS BECAUSE WE'RE ALL BROKE..."

" YAY!" said the guys.

" Wait a second.. do buffets offer Ramen?" asked Inuyasha.

" We'll have to go and see." Sango told him.

The four of them walked to the food court. On the way, Kagome noticed a small shop with the sign: Spell Items .

" Guys, can you wait out here for me? I need to go in this store to get something for my grandpa." she said.

" We'll go with you if you want." offered Sango.

" Alright. If you insist."

Sango peered curiously through the window. " You know, I think this store is closed. It's so dark in there."

" Let's try the door." Inuyasha suggested. " Yeah, it's open."

" I have a bad feeling about this... " Miroku confessed.

" Well..." Kagome did not finish. She mustered up her courage and walked inside the shop. Two small bells jingled as they stepped inside the dimly lit store.

" HELLO? Anyone here?"

The shadows moved in response.

" I can't see you guys- OH MY GOD!" a scream came from Sango's direction.

" It's me. Calm down." Miroku said assuringly.

" YOU IDIOT! YOU SCARED ME!" she yelled, but regardless of how she felt towards him, she still clutched his hand.

Suddenly, all the lights came on. Two women dressed in traditional robes revealed themselves. They came from behind a colorful curtain of beads.

" My name is Kikyo."

" My name is Kaede and-"

" ACK!" Kagome choked and spit out a shining jewel the size of a large marble. The sphere sparkled on the floor as it rolled.

" Kagome, are you okay?" Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku said in unison. Kagome could not speak; she just shook her head. A second later, she was unconscious on the floor.

" That's okay. I meant for that to happen. Anyway, I am a priestess-" Kaede continued.

" WHICH EXPLAINS WHY YOU'RE SUCH A WITCH!" Inuyasha growled and charged at her.

" Kikyo..." was all Kaede said.

Kaede's sister Kikyo touched a silver pendant around her neck and muttered a word. Inuyasha fell to the floor and puppy ears sprouted out of the top of his head and his hair turned silver.

Kikyo then turned to Miroku. She said something and suddenly a powerful wind threatened to pull all them into a void. That void was now Miroku's hand. He turned the palm of his hand to face him and all he saw was a gaping black hole. Kaede ran forward with a white cloth and wrapped it around Miroku's hand so that it covered the hole.

" What you have now is a wind tunnel. Ane one day, it will suck you in and you will die." the priestesses said gleefully.

Hearing this, Miroku faltered in his steps toward them, and he collapsed.

" Now, you're the last one we have to deal with." the priestesses said, starting towards Sango. Kikyo grabbed Sango's arms and held them while Kaede suppressed Sango's scream with a dusted cloth.

" This is a powder that will put you to sleep..." And Kikyo's voice was the last thing Sango heard before she fainted.
