Chapter 2: Birthday Daze
Kagome looked as Sango and Rin were in the front of Sango's car, talking while the pony-tailed girl was driving. Kagome sat in the back, no seat belt on. She felt like a little kid sitting in the back, but she just sighed it off and scooted next to the window seat. She rested on the arm rest, placing her chin on her hand.
She looked out the car window, to see the bright sun shining down on her.
Gods that's bright. thought the quiet girl. She let a small sigh excape her body.
The two girls infront looked behind, Sango in the rear-view mirror and Rin turning her head slightly to the right. They watched as Kagome slowly fell into her sleep.
"She gets tired alot more then usual." Sango said, glueing her eyes back to the road.
"I know. Our Kagome-chan just puts herself in her work and school, she barely has time for sleep." Rin commented, looking at her friend to the right.
"Maybe we could ask Kaede-san to keep and eye out for our innocent sleeper." she said, giving a small smirk.
"That could be an idea." the other girl agreed, as the car became silent.
The only sounds that were heard were the sounds of breathing, coming from the back seat of the car.
"Get over here, you two!" growled a groggy Kagome. She was walking in the mall, while her two friends were basically stopping at every window.
The two girls stuck their tongues out at the annoyed girl, but reluctantly walked over to her. They held their arms out, as Kagome took them in her own, and they went down the walk-way linked together.
"What stores are we going to?" asked Kagome, seeing no store she'd like to go into at the moment. But that soon changed when her gaze was caught by the sight of the Pac Sun sign. She smiled, as she and her friends entered the store.
She went over to the pants section, looking at the sizes. She saw 3 small, her size. She picked up a pair of jeans. The small tag on the jeans said Lilu Painted Boot Jean. There were two patches of faded out, one near the top front right pocket, the other on the side left leg. On the faded out parts, were small blue sparkly flower decorations.
"Hey Kags. Ooh! I like those jeans. Try 'em on!" Sango said from behind Kagome, Rin not far behind.
"You sure?" asked the girl with the jeans. Both of the other girls nodded. "Okay." she smiled, going into the dressing room.
She undid the metal button of her hip huggers, and let them fall to the ground. She kicked them aside, placing them on the built in seat with her foot. She placed her legs in, one at a time, and jumped up, pulling the jeans on all the way. She zippered and buttoned it up, looking at the long mirror on the door. She turned to the side, seeing the veiw of her bottom.
Looks good. she thought to herself.
'Looks good? Just looks good? Hello, hott ass, Kagome!' said a different voice in her head. This voice was what Kagome liked to call as her opposing self.
You? What do you want? she asked the other part of her mind.
'What? Are we not friends anymore? What a shame. When we were with Houjo, you and I were best friends!' the voice had said.
Never speak of Houjo-kun ever again! Just go away. I'm never speaking with you, you stupid voice! she screamed in her mind.
The voice slowly went in the back of her mind, leaving her to her thoughts.
"Hey, Kags! We got a shirt for you!" somone yelled through the dressing room door.
"Okay, Rinny." Kagome called back. A shirt was gentely tossed over the opening in the top of the door. It was blue, while little flower designs were lighter blue with a small V neckline. She tossed off her green shirt, and placing this one on. She tossed her bunned hair around, looking at the mirror. The shirt accented on her fairly large chest.
"You done in there, Kagome-chan?" she heard Sango's voice calling through the door.
"Yep! I'm coming out." she called, stepping out of the dressing room. She turned around a few times, as Sango and Rin clapped slightly. She smiled to them and giggled.
"Yes! There's our Kagome-chan smile, which we love so much!" Rin squeaked, hugging Kagome's shoulders, as the raven-haired girl looked dumbfounded. Rin looked behind Kagome, seeing Sango go into the dressing room for a moment, unknown by the other girl.
Sango just laughed looking at the two. "You're buying them, I hope you know, Kagome." she said, pushing the girl into the dressing room, closing the door before she could answer.
Kagome was slightly confussed, yet again. It's not that her friends haven't acted that way before, but they just seemed to be... acting like they were hiding something. But the raven-haired girl let it go, like so many things.
"Are we leaving anytime soon?" she called through the door, quickly getting out of the clothes.
"Well, we were thinking about staying for a half an hour, or something." Sango said, leaning on the wall next to Kagome's dressing room door.
Kagome gave a small sigh, giving in. She quickly pull on her pants and got into her shirt, smoothing out the wrinkles. She shook her head slightly, her bangs going which way. She opened the door, clothes in hand, and over to the register. The girl there smiled at Kagome, and took the clothes. She scanned them, and pressed a button on the computer.
"The Lilu Painted Boot jeans are $49.50. And the Lilu Autumn Blossom V-neck are $26.50. Plus tax. So your total comes up to $83.50." the girl said, folding the clothes and placing them in a bag.
Kagome reached into her purse, but couldn't find her wallet. Her dark eye brows sruntched. She was sure she had her wallet in her purse and had money in it. Maybe it was in her pocket?
"What is it, Kagome-chan?" Rin asked, she and Sango on either side of Kagome.
"I can't find my wallet." she said, turning out her jeans pockets. Nothing. Well, nothing, with the exception of some lint. She gave a frustrated sigh, looking at the woman at the counter. "I guess I'll have to put them back." Kagome paused a moment. How embarrasing!
"No you don't, Kagome-chan!" Sango said, placing money on the counter. "I'm paying." she said, smiling at her friend. "It's the least I cna do."
The woman took the money, pressing buttons on the register's keyboard. The drawer flew open and she took out the change to Sango's money. "Here you are. And thanks for shopping at Pac Sun! Come back soon." the girl said, cheesily.
"I seriously can't believe I lost my wallet!" Kagome said, giving another frustrated sigh. She let down her long black hair from it's bun, and tossed it slightly. "It had my ID and lisence in it, too!"
Rin looked over at Sango, who nodded back at her. "Kagome-cha. Maybe it's in the car, and it just fell out." Rin added into the air.
Kagome stopped walking, as Rin and Sango almostwalked into her back. She glanced over her shoulder. "Did you two take it out of me purse?" she asked, her dark eyes narrowing to her friends.
The two girls scruntched their eye brows at her. "Would we do that to you, Kagome-chan?" they asked in unision.
Kagome's eyes grew narrower. "Yeah. You would." she said, turning back to the front.
Sango mouthed something to Rin. "I'll be right back, you two. Don't leave without me!" she said, leaving without any response from her friends.
Kagome looked at Rin, and sat down on a bench near by. Rin quickly sat next to here. "What's wrong, Kagome?" she asked, her eyes holding much concern.
Kagome looked at her friend, but was quiet for a moment. "To tell ya the truth, Rin-chan... I really don't know." she answered, looking truthfully.
"Lately, you've been really sad and witty with comebacks. You know you can talk to me and Sango-chan about anything, right?" Rin asked, taking Kagome's hand in her own.
Kagome gave a weak smile. "Yeah. I know." she said, leaning her head on Rin's shoulder, as Rin held onto Kagome's shoulder. Her fingers wove silkly through Kagome's black tresses. Many times had the three girl's played with each other's hair to calm down their sences. They hadn't been like that for a while. Not since Kagome started to shut them out.
"So you'll be here soon?" a voice asked from the cell phone Sango was on.
"Yeah. She's getting kind of.. Well, I think she knows I took her wallet." Sango said, looking over at her two friends from the corner she was behind.
"You stole Kagome-chan's wallet! Why?" the male voice asked, it was slightly confussed at the girl's action.
Sango's eyes narrowed. "Because I wanted to pay for the clothes she wanted. I told her it might be in the car. But knowing our Kagome, she might not believe me." she said, giving a small sigh.
"Don't worry, Sango. It'll be alright. Is there anything else we should have here?"
The girl thought a moment. "Umm.. Maybe invite some more guys. She's waaay too lonely." Sango said, looking as Rin stroked her friend's hair.
A chuckle was heard. "Yeah, right Sango. Like our Kagome would fall for random guys off like that!"
Sango summoned a smile, listening to her boyfriend. "Well, that's how I met you, Miroku." she giggled slightly.
"What do you mean, my dear?" he asked, curiousness in his voice.
"I mean, I met you randomly. AND I've been with you for over a year. Maybe the love spell will work it's magic on our Kagome like it did us." she said, a sly smile on her healthy face.
There was a pause on the other end of the phone. "That's true. I'll see if I can get some off my friends can come over. But I can't promise anything, only because of the such short notice."
"Thanks Miroku. I really owe you one. See ya." she said, hanging up the cell phone.
Kagome looked up at Rin. "Thanks, Rinny. It means alot to me, really." she said, as the two stood up. They saw as their other friend came into view.
"Hey. You were gone for a while. What happened?" Kagome asked.
"Just Miroku." Sango said, tossing her pony tailed hair over her shoulder. The three of them started to walk out of the mall, leaving it for the day.
Kagome looked at Sango, her eyes for of curiosity. "What he want? Some phone sex?" she asked, she and Rin laughing afterwards. Everyone knew of Miroku Hikoshura's pervetedness. Though he did tone it down because he had a girlfriend, he still was a wamonizer at heart.
Sango glared at her friends. "For your informetion! No!" she growled, crossing her arms around her chest.
"Just playing with ya, Sango-chan." Kagome giggled, holding onto her friend's shoulder.
Sango and Rin entered the car first. In one quick movement, Sango threw the wallet in the back seat when Kagome was about to get in. Sitting down on the leather seat, Kagome glansed to her left, seeing her wallet. She picked it up, and glared at it. "Stupid thing." she sourly said, shoving it in her purse. She quickly pulled her long raven hair back into a messy bun, keeping it out of her face.
Hearing a few car doors being slammed, the people waiting in the lobby of the apartment building began to take hiding places.
"Once I get inside, I'm taking a nice, long bath!" the sound of Kagome's voice echoed, as the three girls reached the clear door. Entering the building, people jumped out from their hiding places.
"Surprise! Happy Birthday Kagome!" every cheered, throwing confetti and balloons up into the air.
The small colorful pieces of paper landed in Kagome's long black hair, as she looked wide eyed at all the people there.
"Wh-What?" she asked, looking at everyone.
Sango placed her right arm around the confussed girl's shoulder. "Honestly, Kagome-chan. How could you forget your own birthday?" she giggled, planting a loving kiss on her friend's hair.
I liked the reviews.. Though there weren't many... -sighs- BUT thing is, I don't know when I'll update the third chapter. I have it mostly written out, but the ending is still being contemplated between me and my friend.
And then there is my health issue. I've been sick for a long time. I've always been kinda sick, whether it be just a small cold, soar throat, or flu. I have a high risk of having some other things wrong with me, but we won't go into that!
I don't know how often I'll be able to update. I'll try nad send in the third either tonight or tomarrow. My Puppa and Namie are up in my state until tomarrow and my Puppa's sleeping in my computer room.
Well, Review please, and that'll make me happy! . I've decided I'd let Inuyasha and Kagoem rest today. They were helping me keep my house clean, since I was sick.
