Unexpected Winds
Chapter Three
Kagura looked though her closet. Nothing seemed right. Why was this so difficult? Damn Jakotsu for getting in her head about finding the perfect outfit. Was because she liked Sesshomaru? But then again, she didn't have a problem picking out an outfit last weekend for karaoke. Was it due to the fact that Kanna and Rin were there? And this time it would be just the two of them alone. Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard the door open.
"Nee-San some friends of yours are here to see you." Kanna said as she opened the door to her and Kagura's room. She led the two girls inside the room before going back downstairs where she was watching one of her favorite shows.
Kagura looked at the two girls that Kanna led into the room. "Kagome? Sango? What brings the two of you here?" Kagura watch as the two girls sat down on the bottom bunk of her bed. Kagura pulled her chair away from the desk to sit across from them.
"Sango-Chan and I were planning on going shopping and wanted to know if you wanted to come with us." Kagome said. "Kind of like a girl's night out."
"We tried calling but the line was busy." Sango said. "And since we were passing through the area we thought we drop by and ask."
"I would like to go. But..." How should Kagura say it to them. That she has plans to go on a date with Sesshomaru and she was trying to figure out what to wear. Not to mention she doesn't have much spending money at the moment.
"I heard from Inuyasha about the date with Sesshomaru." Kagome said.
"Inuyasha knows?" Kagura asked shocked.
"He told me about it yesterday." Kagome said and then asked. "Do you know where Sesshomaru's planning on taking you?"
"Not really." Kagura said looking at her closet. "I'm trying to figure out what to wear." She didn't know where he was taking her, but if she was guessing, it probably wouldn't be a fast food restaurant. It probably some place that people dress up a little nicer for.
"It's still early, you should still have plenty of time before Sesshomaru is supposed to pick you tonight for the date, right?" Kagome asked and Kagura nodded. "You could probably get a new outfit for the date."
"I don't have the extra money for a new outfit." Kagura said guessing something nicer than the clothes she has were probably out of her price range.
"Well, the store we're going to is having a sale. I hear everything's super cheap. You don't have to buy anything, just come and look with us." Sango said. "Besides we kind of wanted a girl's day out anyways."
"Why don't you go with them and get a new outfit Kagura" Kaguya said walking into her daughter's room with a basket full of clean laundry. "You hardly get anything for yourself. See me before you leave Kagura and I'll give you some money."
"But mom we can't afford it and we have the new baby to think of." Kagura said.
"You're having a baby Onigumo-San? Congratulations." Kagome said excitedly.
"Congratulations Onigumo-San." Sango said.
"You girls are kind." Kaguya said. "Kagura just treat yourself. Plus, I still have plenty of things left over from when Hakudoshi was a baby. We'll be fine. If you don't, I'll be sad."
"Mom." Kagura tried to refuse, but seeing the look on her mother's face. "Okay I'll go."
"That's a good girl. Did you girl's want some tea anything before you leave?" Kaguya asked.
"No thank you." Kagome and Sango politely decline the tea.
Half an hour later, Kagura was at this store in the mall with Kagome and Sango. As the three looked around Kagura couldn't believe the deals. There were some really cute clothes. For good deals too. Almost too good true for a store in the mall until she heard one of the employees tell another customer that the owner passed away and the owner's son was getting rid of the last of the inventory before selling the store.
After hearing that it made sense for why the prices were so low. As she looked, she found a dress she liked and thought it would look nice enough for that night. She also found something for Kanna. It was rare for Kanna to get new clothes as Kanna tended to get Kagura old clothes. After paying for the clothes, Kagura had a little bit of money leftover that her mother gave her.
Just outside the store Kagura saw her one of her older brothers Goshiniki. Goshiniki had his arm around a woman with short wavy brown hair. She didn't know he was seeing someone. Not that she was close to him for him to tell her. One would think with so many siblings under one roof they would be close with each other. In her case it wasn't true.
"Hey do you know that guy?" Kagome asked as she tapped Kagura shoulder which caused to to jump a little.
"Yeah, he's one of my older brothers." Kagura said, then for a second, she thought he looked in her direction before looking away ignoring her and walked away with that woman. She heard her stomach growl with hunger. "Anyways, want to grab a bite to eat." Kagura looked at the closest clock that read one o'clock.
Both Kagome and Sango nodded. Minutes later they found themselves inside of Wacdnalds with hamburgers and drinks in front of them. "Did you hear about that escape from a prison a few days ago?" Sango asked before taking a bite out of her burger.
"An escape?" Kagura asked, Kagome looked just as confused as she was.
"It was on the news." Sango said. "Two prisoners escaped and according to the news, they don't know how they escaped."
"Did the news say which prison?" Kagome asked.
"I can't remember the name. But I know it's somewhere up north." Sango said.
"Did the news say what their names were?" Kagura asked then took a sip of her drink.
"Ummm I think they said their names were..." Sango faced suddenly turned really annoyed as she turned around and slapped Miroku who had slipped into the booth besides her and somehow slip his hand under her butt.
"Ouch." Kagura said softly as she can only guess what Miroku did. "I don't feel sorry for you one bit you pervert."
"You hurt me." Miroku placed his hand on his face where Sango slapped him. "Are you going to defend me Inuyasha?"
"Hell no." Inuyasha said standing off to the side with a tray in his hands. "You got yourself into this mess." Inuyasha sat his tray onto their table. Brought an empty chair from a nearby table and sat down. "I hear you have a date with that pain in the ass Kagura, why?"
"Inuyasha don't call your brother that" Kagome scolded. "Don't you think it could be because she likes him."
"Who could like him. He's such a stuck up ass." Inuyasha grumbles.
"And you're immature." Kagome finished her burger.
"Don't start acting like him." Inuyasha began eating. "Did you go shopping?" Inuyasha asked noticing the bags on the floor under the table.
"Yes we were enjoying a girl's day out until you guy decided to crash it." Kagura said and both Kagome and Sango laughed. Kagura enjoyed teasing them. "Did you want to go shopping with us too? Picking out cute clothes and such." Both Inuyasha and Miroku didn't looked too pleased.
"Fuck no." Inuyasha said. "I rather being doing anything but that."
"Oh is that so. Kagome" Kagura looked at Kagome. "Shall we get some fingernail polish and paint our nails." Kagura couldn't help herself from laughing along with Kagome and Sango.
"Or talk about..." Sango try to said.
"Can we change the topic please?" Miroku uncomfortably said knowing how the conversation was going to go. "Besides I heard you were talking about about the prison escape." Miroku unwrapped a hamburger. "I saw the news too. I think their names were Takemaru and Renjokuki. From my understanding they have a pretty big reward for them."
"What crimes did they do?" Inuyasha asked with his mouth full.
"I believe something about rape and murder." Miroku said. "Among other crimes but those are the worst of it."
"Scary." Kagome latched onto Inuyasha. "Don't you think so Sango-Chan?" Sango just nodded.
"Don't worry Sango I shall protect you." Miroku free hand was about to find a way to her butt again when he winced in pain as Sango was faster and grabbed his hand and squeezed hard.
"No thanks." Sango said. "I rather protect myself."
"You know Miroku the fastest way to a woman's heart is by not touching her on the butt or chest." Kagura said.
"Blame my hand." Miroku held up his hand. "It's cursed."
"More like your brain's curse." Sango said.
"He's probably a lost cause anyway." Kagura said, Kagome and Sango nodded and laughed.
"You wound me again." Miroku sounded hurt. "I'm not a lost cause, am I Sango?" Sango nodded causing Miroku head to dropped.
"But for some reason I still like you." Which caused Miroku to perk up.
After Wacdnalds Kagura made it back home. The first person she saw was Kanna. "Hey Kanna I got something for you." Kagura set her bags down and pulled out a white short sleeve dress with pink flowers on it. Perfect for summer coming up. "Do you like it."
"Thank you Nee-San." Kanna hugged Kagura. "Mama look at what Nee-San got me." Kanna took her new dress to show her mom.
Kagura followed Kanna and found their mother at the table putting a band-aid on Hakudoshi's knee. "There that should be better." Kaguya said after giving it a kiss.
"Thanks mom." Hakudoshi ran off. "I'm going back to play soccer with my friends."
"Be careful." Kaguya called out. "That's pretty Kanna. You want to try them on and show me." With a quick nod, Kanna left to room. "that was nice of you Kagura. Did you have fun and get anything for yourself."
"I did. It appeared they wanted to get rid the rest of their stock before closing." Kagura grabbed what little was left of the change and handed it to her mom. "Here what left." Or at least tried to but her mom wouldn't take it.
"Put it in you savings."
"But Mom" Kagura tried to say. However, her mother was very stubborn woman when she made up her mind. Kaguya knew Kagura was saving most of her money she earned. Kagura was the first one to tell her family of her desire to attend a university while Goshinki didn't go to high school and Byakuya wanted to get to work right away after high school.
"Kagura" Kaguya got up. "By the way Jakotsu is in your room. He came twenty minutes ago and said he wait for you to get home."
"Thanks mom" Kagura grabbed her bag and ran upstairs to her room to find Jakotsu going through her side of the closet. "What do you think you're doing?" Kagura asked with a tone that caused Jakotsu jump and turn to face her.
"Well Kagura I was coming to check to see that you weren't planning on wearing jeans on this date with Sesshomaru." Jakotsu smiled looking at the bag in Kagura's hand. With a quick movement, he swiped the bag from her and took out the dress. "Hmm," Jakotsu was holding up the dress. It was a sleeveless dark red dress. He held it up to Kagura to see how the dress looked. With a sigh of relief, Jakotsu set the dress on the bed. "Thank goodness you managed to pick something decent out. And here I was starting to think you didn't have any fashion sense."
Kagura hit him upside the head, only hard enough for him to say ouch. "I prefer comfort and what I like over what's uncomfortable and what's considered the in thing." Kagura went over to the bed. "So why are you here anyway?"
"To help you get ready for your date of course." Jakotsu said.
"It just a dinner and a movie." Kagura said, mostly trying to convince herself not to get too nervous again.
"Still I want you to look good. You have a figure I could die for." Jakotsu referred to her hour glass figure and the way her black hair went well with her skin tone. Easy going eyes that looks like she could see though a person. "Please you know I live for this. I want to see what you look like in it right now."
"Alright but first," Kagura pushed him into her closet. "Let me get dressed first." She shut the door leaving Jakotsu smiling like it was Christmas.
