Happy holidays everyone!
(******************************************************************************************************************)
But of course the two older inu's couldn't simply let the former subject of Kagome's monthly go. No- they both just had to start acting weird- well, weirder than usual. Yasha thought as he watched Kagome pick something up only to almost have her hand taken off by his pop's zippy reflexes when he reached out to grab the item from her and chuck it in the buggy that they had grabbed a little while back as if it were a hand grenade.
Which in turn caused Kagome to slowly turn her head and look at Inu no Taisho in her funny little keep-fucking-with-me-and-I'll-kill-you-when-your-back-is-turned look for several heartbeats. Causing his pop to squirm somewhat under her unblinking stare and give her a slightly awkward looking fanged smile that in no way whatsoever looked any bit natural.
Where as Sesshomaru simply stood there, silently, attempting to blend in with the clothing racks so as not to draw her attention to him, and failing miserably when he decided to ask her for what must have been the millionth time in just the past ten minutes, "Are you alright Kagome? Do you need a break?"
It was at this point that Yasha could have groaned as his newest sibling/pack mate turned her head to look at him. His spidey sense was telling him that she was beginning to put one and one together to equal two. Two dumbass, bone headed dead inu's to be exact. Because Yasha was currently swearing under his breath that he would be killing them both and soon. But first they needed to finish up their shopping trip. And then, once they all got home- he'd kill them.
Maybe he'd use the care to back up over them just to take them down a few pegs first. Yeah, that could work.
Kagome huffed but didn't really give any response to Sesshomaru's question as she turned back around and began to look over the items laid out on the display again.
Inu no Taisho had already tossed the sterling silver earrings that she had been looking at as if he had expected it to come alive and eat someone's face off or something. Which was kind of a weird thing to do to a piece of jewelry. So maybe she should look at something pearl?
Although just plain pearls reminded her far too much of the earrings that her father had given her to wear when he had thought he was going to be selling her into sexual slavery. So maybe she should look at something that didn't make her stomach twist itself up in knots?
If not pearls, maybe she could look at some precious gemstones?
But...she didn't really know what suited her color wise. Usually she tended to favor the sterling silver, white, pastel colors such as pink and green and cream. But she also liked various shades of purple and blue.
Of course while she had been thinking of what to get- Yasha and Sesshomaru and their dad had been hard at work already picking and choosing random things like a little white gold and flawless diamond pendant, and earring set shaped like some little snow flakes.
They also randomly grabbed some cushion cut blood rubies, little heart shaped garnets, and some white, and blue and green five millimeter round manmade opal studs.
They also grabbed some amethysts, emeralds, topazes and sapphires and dumped them all into the buggy and then walked away before Kagome came up with some little CZ butterfly earrings in pink and white, and looked at the sheer number of small boxes in the buggy and sighed as she turned and retuned the butterflies to their former spot on the display table and then decided to move on to something a little less...disturbingly expensive.
Like shoes.
She only needed four pairs. Yet with the help of her new family and her friend Yasha, somehow wound up with ten pairs of shoes ranging from white and black, soft leather mary janes to heels and boots. In fact they had placed so many pairs in the buggy behind her back that Kagome finally managed to catch them and told them all to put some stuff back before she got pissed at them.
Naturally the three males froze up, uncertain of whether or not she was being totally honest with them and really wanted them to put some of the items back like she had told them, or if she was simply trying to be coy or something. Inu no Taisho turned to his two sons at one point while frozen and quietly asked them, "I-Is this a test or something? Because I didn't study for the inevitable outcome."
Causing Sesshomaru to whisper back, "What do we do?"
Yasha finally seemed to unfreeze himself just long enough to dig into his back pocket and grab the candy bar that he had run off and bought about an hour or so ago when they had had...the talk...about Kagome and her...cycles, and quietly shifted the several boxes of shoes that he had in his grasp and then handed the bar of chocolate to the girl.
Kagome looked at it and then him and then back to the candy bar and made a soft growling sound and then looked at the three of them and just as Yasha was about to start patting himself on the back for a job well done- Kagome shocked him- well the three of them by throwing the candy bar at his head and shrieking at the three of them in feminine outrage causing Inu no Taisho to drop his arm full of shoe boxes and quickly vanish into thin air, leaving poor Sesshomaru looking around while Yasha tried to pacify his pack mate as best as he could before he too decided to disappear as fast as he could.
Leaving Kagome in his, hopefully very capable, older brother's hands.
