Chapter 7: Shopping And School Don't Mix

After they had eaten, Inutaisho had given some money and then dropped the girls off at the mall so that they could get some materials for Kagome. Inuyasha and Miroku had decided just to head home with Inutaisho. If it was the one thing that they knew, they knew NOT to go shopping with girls. Giving a small wave, Inutaisho drove out of the parking lot of the mall leaving Kagome being pulled towards the mall entrance by Sango.

"Remember what I'm going to tell you now, okay?"

Kagome nodded.

Sango stopped in front of the door. "Alright then. If anyone asks you to go anywhere with them and you don't know them, don't go and come look for me, understand?"

Kagome nodded again.

"Next, if you see anything you like, show and tell me. Inutaisho gave you a LOT of money here so you should spend it wisely. Oh and if you walk into someone or accidentally push them or anything like that, apologize to them. You do know how to apologize right?"

Kagome nodded once more.

"Great! Now what else should I say." Sango said pulling open the door and stepping in, then going back to counting off the things Kagome needed to remember.

Upon entering, Kagome half listened to Sango talk while she took in the sight around her. Stores were lined up on both sides of her. Within them held some things she recognized and some things she didn't. Fascinated, Kagome accidentally wondered away from Sango without her noticing. Ten minutes later, Sango was still standing there busy talking to Kagome who was no longer there.

"The last thing is do not leave my sight. I don't want you to get los- "Sango stopped walking and finally noticed that Kagome was gone. Looking around, she couldn't see her anywhere.

"...Aw damn!" was the last thing she said before running into the crowd of people shopping.


'This was amazing! I've never seen so many colours at once!' I walked around a corner and spotted a store filled with toys like my own but not the same. I couldn't help but stare as I walked by the store.and right into something making me fall backwards. I looked from where I sat on the ground to another girl sitting in front of me. Standing up quickly, I tried to remember what Sango had told me earlier.

"I'm so sorry for walking into you. Please forgive my incompetence and rudeness." I said this slowly while tilting my head downwards. If this wasn't what Sango meant for and apology, then I was going to take a long time to get used to this world.

"Hey Kikyo. Did you cut your hair? It seems shorter."

"That's not me."

I blinked and looked up. The girl I saw earlier was now standing with another girl behind her. I took a step backwards. The girl behind the first looked like me! Is it possible to look the same?

"Huh? Kikyo? You were behind me?"

"I was the whole time." The Kikyo person said calmly.

"Oh I see. Well then, who are you? Kikyo's twin maybe?" the other girl said smiling.

"N-no. I've never meet either of you before. It's my first time here. I just moved out of my old home. My name is Kagome." I repeated what I had been told from Inutaisho earlier.' So the girl that looked like me was the Kikyo that Sango had told me about. I wonder if she is as nice as Sango is to me'

"Hehehe... even both your names start with a K! This is so cool. Maybe you are twins separated by birth and finally you meet for the first time!"

"Stop it. You know I only have one sibling and that's Kaede." Kikyo said turning to walk away. "Come on. I'm hungry, let's go to the cafeteria."

Nodding the girl turned back towards me. "Hey maybe I'll see you at the high school since you just moved here! I better get going, Kikyo might get mad me if I stay here to long. Hopefully we can talk again sometime and see if you have anymore similarities with Kik. See ya!" She said smiling before following Kikyo away.

I watched as both Kikyo and the girl disappeared into the crowd before going back to walking and looking around the mall. It was so interesting.

Soon I spotted two familiar people in something called 101 Arcade. Walking in, I went over to where Kouga was bent over a game with Ayame standing beside him watching. Arcade was a funny word. I couldn't help but wonder what it meant.

"Hi Ayame, hi Kouga. What are you doing?"

Kouga glanced up for a moment before returning to the game.

Rolling her eyes, Ayame turned towards me smiling happily.

"Hey! Kouga's trying to beat the high score. Are you shopping for some new things?"

"Yes. Inutaisho dropped Sango and I off here to go buy some... materials as Sango says."

"Really? Where's Sango?"

"..." I looked back and forth to see where Sango was. I could feel my heart (yet another word I learned in the dictionary) speed up when I couldn't find her.

"Whoa! No need to panic Kagome! If Sango can't find you, she'll come here and ask for our help. She knows Kouga's almost always here so when she does come, she'll find you."

'Panic? Was that what I'm feeling right now?' I began to bite my lip. 'Where could Sango be? I didn't realize that I had lost her.'

"See look! Here she comes now! Are you relieved?"

I could feel my heart slow down when I saw Sango rushing towards me.

"There you are Sango! Where were you?" I couldn't help but ask. After all, I thought she was somewhere around me.

"You. . .stupid. . . idiot!" She said catching her breath. "I was so worried! Don't you ever wonder off again! Inutaisho would kill me if I lost you. Especially in a mall! Who knows how many psychopaths and wondering around here!"

"Eh?" I was confused. What was a psychopath?

Sighing, she grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the arcade after waving bye to Ayame and Kouga, even though I didn't think Kouga really even notice she was there because he just kept staring intently at the machine in front of him.

"Come on, we're getting you're stuff and leaving. I'm not playing cat and mouse again. I hate that game!"

"Cat and mouse?"

"Never mind."

It turned out that we stayed for another few hours. Only a quarter of the time actually shopping, the rest was spent on the indoor amusement park at one end of the mall. (AN: Indoor amusement parks are so cool. I went to one in Quebec and there is one really big one in Edmonton though I've never been there. I have a postcard with a picture though.) We went on the rollercoaster 22 times in a row before Sango said we should eat lunch. After that, we went on it another 14 times before Sango said we had better head over to Inutaisho's house. She called a "Taxi" which was a yellow thing that Inutaisho had with a sign on top.

When the driver pulled into the driveway of the house, Sango paid him while I took out my bags from the trunk. I stopped and waited for her at the doorway of the house. By then it was around 4:00p.m.

"I'll help you unpack then I better get going. I just hope Miroku doesn't plan on staying the night here. He does it a lot. If he does, remember to lock your bedroom door before you go to sleep. You never know what he could to. You should also lock your window now that I think of it. He might even use that." She warned me after she rang the doorbell.

"Why would Miroku want to go into my room? I don't think I have anything that he would want."

She looked directly into my eyes. "Yes you do."

We stood there waiting for someone to open the door. 'What would Miroku want that I have?' I looked down into a bag I held in my right hand. 'Maybe it's the shampoo I just got. It does have a really nice smell..."

Inuyasha appeared at the door and let us into the house. He told Sango which room I was suppose to stay in. Then he went into the living room where Miroku sat watching a moving screen of sorts. It looked kind of like a computer. Sango and I went up the staircase with the bags and entered a dark green room. After another good hour of unpacking, Sango left but not before telling me that she would see me tomorrow morning in the office and to make sure that Inuyasha took me there.

I was tired. Never before in my life had I walked so much in one day. I lay on the bed as my eyes slowly drifted shut and I fell into a dreamless sleep.


Grumbling, I cursed under my breath. 'Why did I have to get that stupid girl!' Stupid wasn't suppose to insult her, it's just that she was because of all the crap the stupid institute had fed her before they had gotten her out. 'Why couldn't Miroku get her instead of me? I was comfy where I was sitting besides, that girl makes me feel uneasy.' I rethought what just went through my mind and decided it was better that I was sent instead of Miroku. You never knew what he would do if there was a girl around. That perv.

I knocked on her bedroom door and waited for a response. None came so I turned the doorknob and walked in. At first I didn't notice her lying on the bed but when I did I didn't know what to do. Would she be angry if I woke her up? She did look really relaxed but then again, does she even know how to be angry at someone?

I continued to watch her. She seemed so relaxed even though she had just been taken out of the weird institute place yesterday. How can someone adjust so quickly in such a short amount of time? I guess I was to busy watching her to hear a movement in the hallway behind me.

"I didn't know you were the type to watch people sleep."

"What do you want Miroku?"

"Oh, just wondering what was taking you so long to get back downstairs. So what were you thinking about? Stealing a kiss from the sleeping beauty maybe?" "What the hell are you talking about you lecher!? I'm not you!" I tried to keep my voice down to not wake Kagome up even though that my first intention when I saw her sleeping was on. Think about it! You'd be the first person to ever kiss her in her life plus I bet she was feeling a bit lonely being all by herself before." He winked at me and I could feel myself twitch.

"If you don't go back downstairs now, I won't be responsible for any injuries occurring in the VERY near future." I growled. It was a talent that I had no idea where I got it from.

"Okay, okay. . . you don't have to get all stingy on me." He said waving as he walked out of the room.

I stood and listened for a few moments.

"Stupid idiot, I can tell you're still standing in the god damn hall!"

I heard a sigh before he answered. "Fine. You got me; I'm leaving for real this time."

After Miroku's footsteps faded, I walked over beside the bed. How did you wake someone up when they are sleeping so peacefully? Kneeling down beside her bed, I decided on poking her because I knew for sure she wouldn't like the way I usually wake up Miroku or Sessh. . What else could I do?


I could feel something prodding my shoulder. Almost instantly, I shot open my eyes and sat up to see what was happening to me. I blinked a couple times to clear my vision and turned to see Inuyasha sitting on the floor with a strange look on his face.

"Oh. . . It's just you Inuyasha. Why are you sitting on the floor?" I never had someone sitting on the floor when I woke up before; then again, I never had anyone in wake me up before either.

"God woman! Don't snap up like that! You scared the living shit out of me!" He growled from where he was sitting.

"Shit? What did this have in common with poop? Did you poop your pants because I think that isn't really hygienic?"

"It's a figure of speech!" he said standing up really quickly. A little bit of red tinged his face.

"Oh."

"Besides, I came here to tell you it's dinnertime and that you better go down and eat or else you'll starve."

"Thank you."

"Well hurry up!" He said quickly.

"Y-yes. Okay." I quickly got off the bed and followed him down the stairs and into to the dining room.

The dining room was beautiful with its fine carved wood table and glowing crystal chandelier. I couldn't help but trace the patterns that wrapped around the table leg while I watched the others eat once I had finished. Everything was so plain back at the institute compared to here. Everything had been so very. . .well, very white. Why had I been there in the first place? I felt a shift in my mood as I thought more about the institute. They had purposely hid the fact that there was more to life then that little room that I had been in.

"What's with that look?"

I looked up to watch Inutaisho as he put down his fork onto the table. "What?"

Inutaisho smiled at me. "I suppose you aren't very good at hiding your emotions since you probably never really had much use for them before right?"

I felt my cheeks heat up and I tilted my head downwards so no one could see them. If I was right, my cheeks were probably tinted red much like Inuyasha's had been earlier, if not redder.

"I suppose I am... "

Inutaisho laughed. "There's no need to be embarrassed, it's only natural."

I paused of a moment to get my thoughts straight before speaking. "I was just thinking about the institute. I was wondering why they had me in there all this time. If you're Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru's father, do I have one? Do I even have a mother?" My voice cracked a little. The thought that I was alone kept going through my head. Before I believed I was only alone because I was the only human. Now that I knew that there were billions and billions of humans in the world I couldn't help but feel a little lonely. I.didn't want to be alone now that I had found some.people.

"...Kagome... There is something you may want to know. You don't have parents. It's not your fault so don't think that. A lot of people don't have parents but I'd like you to think of me as a father. After all, you are living in my house and I'm sending you to school."

"Yes school."

"Inuyasha will be taking you to the high school tomorrow so be ready. He as a tendency to be late and you have to be early tomorrow to go to the office and meet Sango and the principal."

Inuyasha snorted. "If you know me so well why don't you ask someone else to take her? Maybe Sesshoumaru because he's so dependable."

If you happened to forget Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru doesn't go to high school anymore. He's in his first year of university."

"Oh... yeah..."

"Um.excuse me. I really didn't want to interrupt your conversation but I really wanted to know what school is like."

Miroku thought for a moment. "Well you could say it's like a mall. There are lots of people and I guess you could make a connection with the stores and classrooms."

"Yeah and security would be the office wouldn't Miroku." Inuyasha said poking Miroku in the head.

"I can't help it that the store clerks love me."

"Thank god the teachers don't. That'd be disturbing."

"Yeah I know... but still it actually is much like a mall."

"So... does that mean why just walk around and buy things?" Yes, the mall was fun but it would get boring after awhile.

"No, actually if you try to pay people off, they tend to get angry."

"Really? People in the mall seemed to like getting money."

"Not the school. Especially bribes"

"Did you try to bribe yourself out of another test? I don't know how that old priest can live with you." Inutaisho said shaking his head.

Miroku just smiled. "I can't help it. Everyone loves me!"

I was confused. "What's there to love?"


My eye's slowly opened and my vision was blurry. Was I in heaven? No, heaven didn't have a ceiling at least I didn't think it did. I could hear the beeping of a heart monitor beside me and I could feel the wires attached to my arms and legs. I remembered the sounds of explosions as I ran down the hall. I was no runner so I wasn't going really fast. I could see those people who had kidnapped Kagome disappeared around a corner. Another explosion went of beside me and I fell over. There was a crack and I tried to roll away from a piece of the ceiling falling down on me. It landed on my leg and I couldn't escape as the rest of the building tumble around me. I blacked out.

I shook my head. I was starting to get a headache. Suddenly I noticed a shadow of someone standing beside the door.

"Who's there?"

The figure stepped forward but not close enough for me to make out who it was.

"Welcome back. . . Rei."

End Of Chapter 7

AN: Are you all happy? This update will last for another couple of months...yeah so I know I should probably update more often but I just don't have to time anymore. Who do you think the girl that Kagome met in the mall and the mysterious person who was waiting for Rei? I dunno! .

Also, I'm going to start a new story soon and I hope you'll take the time to read it when it comes out. It'll be less alternate reality because there are demons, mononokes, priestesses, and all you're favorite characters. . .well almost all of them. -.-; I just can't please them all right?
