We all got out of the car and headed into the mall. Rin was excited to go into Victoria's Secret but I was feeling a little bit uncomfortable with it. I know that Rin and Sesshomaru have reached that part in their relationship but Inuyasha and I haven't. I knew going in here was going to give him all sorts of different ideas. I could see him looking at Inuyasha's face as we walked around the bras and underwear section. He looked up at me and held up a couple of strings that were supposed to pass as panties.
I quickly looked away feeling my face flush in embarrassment. I heard him chuckle and walked over to Rin and Sesshomaru. Sesshomaru was looking at Rin sternly as she held up some lingerie for his approval.
He shook his head, "No, Rin." His eyes looked a little heated though and I felt like I walked into something I shouldn't have.
"Why not? Don't you think this would look cute on me?" Rin asked.
"I don't need any more clothing on you obstructing my way to you. Have you no respect for your clothes?"
"Well, if you would stop ripping them off me then we wouldn't have this problem." She said teasingly.
Sesshomaru looked like he was ready to take her right here and now. I backed away deciding they probably need a moment or someone to hose them down. When I turned around, I nearly smacked into Inuyasha. He reached out and grabbed my shoulders so I didn't fall backwards. He tilted his head.
"See anything you like?" He asked as he raised a brow, "I could buy you a nice lingerie set and you can try it on for me when we get back."
"Inuyasha!" I said, "In your dreams."
"Oh yes, nightly." He said grinning.
I looked away from him rolling my eyes. I looked back and I saw Sesshomaru and Rin at the front counter buying something tiny and silky. Inuyasha looked at me curiously.
"What?" I asked
"Are you sure you wouldn't like something?" I was about to snap at him, "And I don't mean something from here. We could go to the jewelry store. Women love those kinds of stores. I want to buy you things Kagome."
I blinked and looked at him, "I don't need you to buy me anything Inuyasha. My mom sends me a weekly allowance." It wasn't much but I usually saved it in case I ever needed anything important like medicine.
He sighed, "While were shopping if you see anything you like, will you tell me?" He asked.
I nodded, "Sure Inuyasha." I said.
I could tell he wanted to take care of me but I wasn't used to someone buying me things on a whim or even someone taking this much interest in me.
We walked out of the store and hit a few more stores. At one point I bought a skirt for Rin that she wanted and Sesshomaru wouldn't buy for her because it was too short. I knew that was going to be a problem between them later but I tried not to think too much about it right now.
"I'm hungry." Rin said as we walked through the mall.
"Let's go to the food court." I said feeling hungry too.
"Feh. That food is for the lower class. Not fit for consumption." He looked at Rin, "I can take you to a restaurant Rin if you desire food."
Inuyasha rolled his eyes, "You are such a snob."
"That scum they call food here is perfect for you brother. It's all you are worthy of eating. Unlike my mate." Sesshomaru said looking almost smug.
I sighed and Inuyasha bristled at the insult. "Why you…"
"Inuyasha." I said raising a brow at him. He knew I didn't want him to lose his temper. "I think they have a restaurant here but it's a little pricey." I said looking over at the map of the mall.
"That sounds kinda nice." Rin said smiling. "I really am hungry."
"Then let's get some food for you." Sesshomaru said taking Rin's hand and walking ahead of us.
I frowned. The restaurant was pretty expensive. I didn't want to have to use all of my saving's for one meal.
"What's wrong?" I heard Inuyasha ask.
"Oh, it's nothing." I said trying to brush it off.
He narrowed his eyes on me not believing a word I said. We walked into the restaurant and we were seated right away in a booth. As we looked over the menu, I noticed that the cheapest thing on this menu were the salads.
As Rin looked over the menu she commented, "This has been such a fun day. Did you enjoy yourself Sesshomaru?" Rin looked up at him smiling.
He nodded and ran a hand through Rin's long locks of hair, "Yes." He says, "Although it would have been more enjoyable without certain company." He looked over at Inuyasha when he said that.
Inuyasha looked ready to come over the table at him. I heard the fork he was holding crack from him squeezing too hard on it.
"Sesshomaru. Please don't be so rude." Rin said frowning.
"Like I'm enjoying your company?!" Inuyasha hissed.
"Stop it both of you. Let's just enjoy our meal, okay?"
Sesshomaru shrugged and picked up his own menu to look over. Rin now looked irritated at Sesshomaru and she looked over at me and gave me an apologetic gaze. I nodded at her.
The waiter walked over to us and began to take our orders.
"And you miss?" The waiter asked.
"Oh…I'll have a glass of water and the house salad." I said handing him my menu.
Inuyasha frowned, "What else are you getting?"
"Just that…" I said knowing by the tone in his voice this was going to start a fight.
He shook his head, "She'll also have the streak medium."
"Inuyasha!" I snapped. No way was I going to pay for a steak here. They are so expensive.
"You aren't just eating a salad. You didn't even eat breakfast." The waiter watched us argue over this back and forth for a few minutes. Then Inuyasha looked at him and narrowed his eyes on him. "Why are you still here? You got your order so go on."
The waiter quickly ran away in fear.
"What's your problem?" I snapped.
"What's your problem?" He snapped back.
Sesshomaru shook his head, "It still astounds me how dense you are." He said.
"Oh yeah? And what's that supposed to mean?" Inuyasha growled. I could see his claws coming out. I knew he was in no mood for whatever insults Sesshomaru wanted to throw at him.
"It's clear to see that your mate doesn't have the money to pay for the meal you just ordered for her." My face turned red in humiliation and Rin's eyes widened in shock and annoyance.
"Kagome…you know I'm paying for your meal, right?" Inuyasha asked.
"Well, I really wasn't expecting you to…" I said.
"How pitiful." Sesshomaru said. "Your mate doesn't expect you to provide for her?"
"Shut up!" Inuyasha yelled. "I've had just about enough of your insults for one day." He then picked up his steak knife and threw it straight at Sesshomaru's face. I gasped as Sesshomaru caught it so easily. Then Sesshomaru threw it back at Inuyasha but he didn't catch it in time. It went right through Inuyasha's shoulder."
"Inuyasha!" I cried out. I saw blood start to bleed through his white shirt. I quickly grabbed some napkins as Inuyasha pulled the knife out. I began to dab at the blood.
"Sesshomaru!" Rin cried looking horrified.
The waiter walked over to us. He looked terrified as he was shaking in fear and he looked close to tears, "My…my manager has asked me to tell you to leave…or we will be forced to call the police…"
"Very well." Sesshomaru said standing up. He held out a hand to Rin but she ignored his hand and slid out of the booth on her own. She refused to even look at Sesshomaru.
"I'm so sorry Kagome. This was a bad idea." Rin said.
"Rin its fine. You guys should just go. We can find our own way home" I said not really paying attention to her. I had to find a way to make the bleeding stop.
Rin angrily marched out of the restaurant and Sesshomaru followed her out.
"C'mon Inuyasha let's get you to a hospital."
"I don't need a hospital." Inuyasha said rolling his eyes. "I'm a demon. I heal fast." He got out of the booth and held his hand out for me. I grabbed it and we quickly left the restaurant before the police were called.
Inuyasha managed to call a car to come get us. I sat in the back with him and began to unbutton his shirt. He arched a brow at me. "So, this is all I had to do to get you to undress him?" He said smirking.
"Shut up." I was glad I took the napkin from the restaurant and I began dabbing them on his wound. I squeezed my eyes shut feeling tears some to them.
"Kagome I'm okay." He said wiping a tear away.
"I can't believe he stabbed you." I said.
"It's not the first time this happened. What just happened is pretty mild."
"You call this mild?" I said in shock.
"Hell yeah. We used to really beat the hell out of each other back in the day. See look I'm already healing."
His wound was getting smaller and the bleeding had slowed down. I nodded but I still held the napkin up to it. "I'm sorry."
He frowned, "Why are you apologizing?"
"I shouldn't have made you go anywhere with the brother you hate. It's obvious you two don't get along. I don't even really know why you came along." I said sighing.
"Because I wanted to make you happy." I looked up at him as he looked at me, "Kagome that's all I ever want to do is to make you happy. And if I want to buy you something you better let me. In fact, you better expect it. I love you dammit and you better start letting me take care of you." He said.
"Okay." I said softly and the leaned up and kissed him like I never wanted to let him go. I was pretty sure I was falling in love with my annoying demon.
