Chapter 14 Why Being Cheap Doesn't Pay

Inuyasha, still in his schoolgirl's uniform, carried a bag of his guy clothes and led the way to Miroku's, and his, apartment. The plan was to get there, let Inuyasha change, and head out to the theatre. It wasn't a very long walk to the apartment, about five minutes tops, shorter if you ran the distance. Sango and Kagome were babbling about random events that happened in school, nothing Inuyasha was interested in.

Inuyasha pounded on the door to the small apartment when they reached it, and Miroku promptly answered it. He motioned for Sango and Kagome to sit down while he fumbled around the kitchen for his car keys. Inuyasha headed for the bathroom to change, and he remembered the last time he was in it. 'The hair was being ripped from my damn legs and eyebrows last I was here,' he thought to himself. There didn't seem any point to plucking his eyebrows since he never did it again, so they just grew back to how they were before.

Inuyasha came out of the bathroom in a plain black tee shirt with some faded jeans and plain white sneakers, nothing fancy, but better than tight tops, stuffed bras, and high heels.

"Took you long enough," Miroku said heading for the door, "let's get going."

Everyone walked out the door and waited for Miroku to lock it. 'Why does it feel like I'm forgetting something?' Inuyasha pondered but soon dismissed the thought as they all walked out to Miroku's navy blue car. Miroku sat at the wheel with Sango behind him, and Inuyasha was in the passenger's side with Kagome behind him. The drive was only five minutes by car, so they got to the theatre in no time.

They parked relatively close to the doors, and Miroku got out first and opened the door for Sango. He looked over at Inuyasha trying to signal for him to open the door for Kagome, but he didn't notice and Kagome got out herself. Miroku sighed as he locked the doors. There was a small line to buy tickets at the front, only about four people in front of them. They got in line and waited as two of those people went inside the theatre. Just then Inuyasha remembered what he was forgetting.

"Miroku, I forgot to ask before. Can I get some money for me and Kagome?"

"What!" Kagome looked at Inuyasha threateningly.

Miroku looked at Inuyasha like he was crazy. "Why are you asking me now? You should've gotten your own money, I only have enough for Sango and I."

"Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled, "you waited until now to ask him! You're the biggest baka I've ever known!"

Inuyasha tried to ignore Kagome's yelling, "So, you don't have the money?"

"Not for you I'm afraid," Miroku said.

Sango looked at Kagome sadly, "I'm sorry that Inuyasha ruined this for you."

"Don't blame this on me!" Inuyasha yelled defending himself.

"But it's your fault!" Kagome yelled back.

"Guess we'll have to find something else to do," Miroku said.

Inuyasha thought for a second, "No, you guys go ahead and buy your tickets. We'll get in." Everyone looked at him. "Trust me!"

"Well…ok, see you guys inside," Miroku said walking to the booth to buy tickets.

Inuyasha turned to Kagome, "Ok, come with me." He grabbed her hand and took her around the building to the back.

"Where are we going?" Kagome asked.

"Look," Inuyasha pointed to a door. He went over and tried the doorknob, "and it's open."

"Oh no, no, no, no!" Kagome crossed her arms. "I'm not sneaking into the theatre, you're on your own here."

"Fine, then you can just wait at the front by yourself for about two hours while we have fun watching the movie. Don't worry, I'll tell you what happens." Inuyasha opened the door and started inside when Kagome stopped him.

"No, wait. I'll go."

Inuyasha smiled to himself, "Thought so, now come on."

They sneaked into the door and found they were in the back of the lobby. "This is convenient," Inuyasha said as he closed the door after Kagome. "See this wasn't so ba-"

"Hey you two! Stop right there!"

Inuyasha and Kagome looked to their left at a very angry security guard who was heading their way.

"Shit!" Inuyasha grabbed Kagome's arm and ran.

"Inuyasha!" Kagome managed to squeak out.

"Shut up and move!" Inuyasha yelled as he opened a door to one of the movie rooms. "We'll hide in here for now!"

Looking at the screen, it seemed that nothing was on yet, and all the lights were still on.

"Aw, Crap." Inuyasha said still gripping Kagome's wrist.

They turned as the heard the door open and faced the security guard again. "Don't run, you won't get anywhere," He said angrily.

Inuyasha saw that there wasn't much he could do except go through the guard. So he let go of Kagome and ran towards the guard, jumped and planted his foot on the guard's face. The guard fell back with a groan.

"Let's go Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled grabbing Kagome's arm again.

They ran out of there and headed into another theatre. There was some romance movie on, but the movie really didn't matter. The only thing that mattered was that there were a lot of people around so that Kagome and Inuyasha could hide.

"We'll sit up there," Inuyasha pointed to the empty top row.

They walked up to the top and sat in the middle of the row.

"Inuyasha, you shouldn't have done that! You're going to get in a lot of trouble," Kagome whispered to him.

"Done what?" Inuyasha asked starring at the screen.

"Attacked that guard! You're going to get into so much trouble! And I will too!"

"Don't worry so much," Inuyasha said still transfixed on the screen.

Kagome looked down at the bottom of the rows and saw some people with flashlights on walking up towards them. She jabbed Inuyasha in the side and pointed to the flashlights.

"Oh, great. Don't these guys ever give up?" He got up and grabbed Kagome's wrist again, and headed out the rows in the opposite direction.

Then, three guys with flashlights came from the side that they were going down. When the guys spotted the two teenagers, they picked up the pace and almost ran to them.

"Kagome, jump on my back," Inuyasha said.

"What? Why?"

"I'm going to have to plow through these guys to get out, so jump on!"

"No, this has gone too far, you need to stop!"

"You want to get caught and ruin your nice spotless record?"

Kagome thought for a second, "…no."

"Then come on!"

Inuyasha crouched down so Kagome could easily get on his back. She put her arms around his neck, and he used one hand to hold her on.

"Ok, here we go!" Inuyasha sprinted towards the three guys.

He punched the first one with his free hand, causing him to fall down, then he jumped onto the armrest of a nearby seat and jumped behind the second guy kicking the third before he reached the ground. He then sprinted down the rest of the stairs to the bottom and headed towards the emergency exit door. He opened the door, while still holding Kagome, causing some weird beeping to go off, but he didn't pay it any attention as he ran out into the parking lot.

"I see ya!" yelled a familiar voice.

Inuyasha knew already that it was that security guard again, he didn't even flinch when he heard him yell. He just kept running out of the parking lot and across the street. Across from the theatre was a grocery store, so he decided to duck into there in hopes of shaking off that guard.

"No, no! Take the Miroku's car!" Kagome yelled out as they passed it.

"I don't have the keys!"

Inuyasha ran across the parking lot with Kagome, and almost got ran over by an employee on their bike. "Watch where you're going!" Inuyasha yelled after him.

"You know, you can put me down now," Kagome said when they had gotten safely inside.

"Oh, yeah," Inuyasha let go of Kagome and allowed her to get off. "Those guards really have no life." He said as they ran towards the back of the store.

"So, what now genius?" Kagome asked when they stopped running.

"There should be a back door somewhere around here. We'll just go out through there and then run towards the apartment from there. Ha, there it is!" Inuyasha quickly walked over to a back door. The door was sitting openly in the back of one of the aisles allowing anyone to see him.

"There!" yelled a faint voice from the other end of the aisle.

"It's that guard again," Kagome confirmed.

"This is stupid! I'll just knock the old geezer out!" Inuyasha said turning from the door to face

the approaching cop.

"No, don't! Let's just go!" Kagome yelled grabbing his arm and opening the back door. They got out the door and spotted a bike leaning on the wall to their right.

"That's the guy's bike who almost ran me over! Too bad for him!" Inuyasha grabbed the bike and signaled for Kagome to get on the back.

"That's stealing," Kagome protested.

"Ok, if you want to get caught fine, you can run behind me," he said beginning to pedal.

"You jerk! Let me on!" Kagome hopped onto the back, trying to balance herself as Inuyasha sped off.

The voice of the officer was faintly heard from behind them. Inuyasha had pedaled for only a few minutes before he heard sirens closing in on him. Kagome looked back to find the source of the noise.

"Inuyasha, it's that officer again!"

"Great, just we need!" Inuyasha turned off of the sidewalk.

"Where are you going?"

"Detour," he said dodging a tree.

Inuyasha pedaled through the forested area until another road was seen in the distance. As soon as he popped out onto the road, Kagome spotted the officer's car heading towards them.

"Damn cop!" Inuyasha yelled.

He pedaled into the flow of traffic and swerved between the cars evading the officer's. Kagome clung onto Inuyasha from behind in fear that all the swerving would cause her to fall off.

"There's a subway somewhere along this road, if we keep taking it!" Inuyasha said back to Kagome.

"Let me guess, we're going in it?"

"Yep!" Inuyasha pedaled around a slowly moving car. They could hear cars swerving out of the way as the officer's car tried to keep up with them.

Soon they spotted the entrance leading down to the subway. Kagome clung even tighter to Inuyasha as he pedaled the bike down the stairs, making people have to jump out of the way. The officer parked his car next to the subway entrance and ran down after the two teens.

Inuyasha stopped the bike in front of the turnstiles and he and Kagome got off the bike and left it. They jumped over the turnstiles without paying, and rushed to the nearest train.

"Hurry up," Inuyasha yelled back, "they're about to close the doors!"

They sped towards the train, the doors starting to shut. Inuyasha reached out and held one of the doors while Kagome rushed in. When both of them were safely inside, they looked out the window to see the officer searching around for them.

"Finally," Kagome slouched into a seat and tried to catch her breath. Inuyasha joined her.

"Where does this train go to?"

"Who cares, it's away from that cop, that's all that matters," Inuyasha said stretching.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Miroku and Sango stepped out of the theatre looking around for any sign of Inuyasha or Kagome.

"Where could they be?" Sango asked.

"Don't know, but they missed a good movie." Miroku replied. "Maybe they couldn't get in and headed back towards the apartment."

"On foot?" Sango asked questionably.

"It's possible. They aren't anywhere in the building."

"Maybe we should take another look in the building and ask if anyone's seen them," Sango suggested.

"Alright," Miroku agreed. "I'll turn on my cell, in case they call

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Kagome and Inuyasha emerged from the subway in a part of town that neither of them had ever been to.

"Great. Ah! I just wanna go home!" Kagome whined.

"Quit whining and start walking!" Inuyasha snapped.

"Walking to where?"

"Some place with a phone." Inuyasha responded.

"There's a phone booth over there!" Kagome pointed out.

Inuyasha walked in the direction of the payphone with Kagome following closely behind him.

He opened the door to the booth and stepped inside, Kagome went in with him.

"It's kind of small for two people, can't you wait outside?" Inuyasha asked.

"I don't want to wait out there myself, I don't like this place."

"Fine, fine. Just back up a bit." Inuyasha reached into his pocket before turning back to Kagome. "Give me fifty cents."

"What? I don't have any money on me at all because you said that I wouldn't need it! Don't tell me that you don't even have fifty cents on you."

Inuyasha opened the door and stepped out of the booth. "Well then, we'll just have to find a gas station or something."

Inuyasha starting walking, and Kagome closely followed behind. They came to a gas station within a couple minutes of walking. They walked a little quicker into it and up to the counter. The guy behind the counter seemed to be a little older than Inuyasha, and was looking through some magazine without interest.

"Hey, let me use one of your phones!" Inuyasha demanded.

The cashier starred at Inuyasha blankly, "Sorry, we can't let you use our phones, but we have some payphones you can use," he said.

"Just let me use that phone!" Inuyasha yelled pointing to a phone behind the counter.

"Can't," he responded.

"Please, we're kind of lost, and don't have any money on us," Kagome asked.

The cashier looked up at her and smiled, "Well, I'd be willing to let you use the phone if, you'd do something for me."

"Wh-what'd that be?" Kagome asked.

"You doing anything tomorrow night?" The cashier asked.

"Um…uh…" Kagome looked away.

"She's doing something tomorrow!" Inuyasha threw his fist at the cashier and knocked him to the ground.

"Inuyasha! You knocked him out!" Kagome yelled.

"What? Did you want to go out with that loser?" Inuyasha jumped behind the counter and grabbed the phone.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Miroku and Sango stepped out of the theatre again with no luck of finding Kagome or Inuyasha.

"We probably should've asked someone where they were before everyone switched shifts," Sango said.

"Guess so," Miroku crossed his arms.

"Are you sure your cell phone's on?" Sango asked.

"I think so," Miroku took it out of his pocket and it started to ring. "Yep it's on!" He answered the phone. "Hello?…Where are you? We've been looking everywhere in the theatre for you guys!…Oh, well nice job…Well, that's just great…How can I when you don't know where you are?…sigh Ok, I'll look it up. You two stand outside, or somewhere I'll be able to see you…Inuyasha, what's that beeping noise?…Hey wait!…" Miroku turned off the phone.

Sango looked at Miroku questionably, "What happened?"

"Well it seems that genius tried to sneak in the theatre the back way, got chased out by the cops, escaped through the subway, and ended up lost. They were at a gas station, but some alarm of some kind went off, or at least that's what it sounded like."

"Oh god! Well, let's go find them," Sango was already making her way to the car.

"Well, there goes the rest of my day," Miroku mumbled to himself following Sango.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

An alarm sounded making Kagome jump a little.

"Inuyasha, what's that beeping noise?" Miroku asked from the other end of the line.

"I gotta go!" Inuyasha said hanging up.

"What happened?" Kagome asked.

Inuyasha looked at the floor to see that guy pressing some switch that was hidden underneath the counter. "You bastard!" Inuyasha raised his foot meaning to trample the guy.

Kagome ran behind the counter and grabbed Inuyasha's arm, "Don't! Let's just go already!"

Inuyasha huffed, "Fine, your lucky," he said pointing down at the clerk on the floor.

Kagome and Inuyasha ran out of the gas station. "Where to now?"

"Um, this way!" Inuyasha pulled Kagome behind him down the road.

They ran for what seemed like hours, but was really only about five minutes. "Well…on the…bright side," Kagome said between breaths, "I…finally get…that exercise…I wanted."

Inuyasha slowed down into a walk for Kagome to catch her breath. "You doing ok?"

"Yeah…I'm…fine," Kagome placed her hands on her knees and breathed heavily.

Inuyasha held out his hand for Kagome, "There's an alley over there, we can stop for a sec there."

Kagome looked up at Inuyasha and nodded. She took his hand and they ducked out into the alley. Kagome leaned against a wall and slid down onto the ground. Inuyasha leaned on the wall by her.

"Well, this day just can't get any better," Inuyasha said sarcastically. Suddenly a drop of water landed on his head, then two, then more, and suddenly it started to rain on them. "Damn rain!"

Kagome stood up holding her hands over her head. "Now what?"

"Well, let's find some place dry," Inuyasha walked out of the alley with Kagome behind him.

A car sped by them, running through a puddle making a massive wave of water smack them.

"Asshole!" Inuyasha yelled after the car.

The car suddenly stopped and slowly backed up.

"Oh gosh, did he hear you?" Kagome asked trembling a little from the rain.

Inuyasha prepared himself for a fight. The car stopped beside the two and the window rolled down.

"Sango!" Kagome squealed happily.

"Hey, you guys get in here before you get sick," Sango called out.

Kagome jumped into the car with Inuyasha following her.

"How'd you guys find us?" Inuyasha asked.

"Well, I called the subway asking where their last stop was," Miroku said, "I figured you two might be out this way."

"Let's just get back to the apartment," Inuyasha reclined a little into his seat.

Miroku drove off in the direction of the apartment, passing the gas station on the way there. Kagome and Inuyasha looked at the place, there were two cop cars, from where they were, they could slightly see people talking inside.

A/N: Well, I'm stopping there. Hope everyone liked it! I'm not going to be answering reviews this time. I got an email from my friend Demonic Miko a while ago saying that it was now banned to answer reviews in your stories? Is that true? Someone please tell me!
