Chapter 6

The Grocery Store

Kagome loved Saturdays. Finally, day of freedom! She got up at 10 a.m., and got into some real clothes.

"Kagome!" So much for freedom, "Could you run to the store and get some groceries?" Her mother handed her a list and Kagome was gone in a flash.

Yuka, Eri, and Ayumi met Kagome at the store. As usual they thought that they could get out of grocery shopping. Don't you hate it when mothers ruin all the fun?

"I tried" Yuka looked down at her shopping list. It was a long one.

"Whoa!" Eri peered over Yuka's shoulder. "I think you 'tried' a little too hard this time, that's one heck of a list!"

"Well, at least our mom's sent us all out at the same time!" Ayumi always tried to sound positive.

"Hey, Kagome?" Eri noticed Kagome's quietness over the past few days. "This is usually the part were you bud in…"

'I can't get him off my mind. What's wrong with me?'

"Yo, brain-dead! You're starting to creep me out!"

"Huh?" Kagome blushed.

"Welcome to planet earth! On your left is the grocery store and on your right are the buildings humans live in, oh, and incase your wondering humans are the dominant species. NOT Apes." Eri had a great sense of humor.

"Wait a minute!" Yuka winced at Kagome. "I know that look! You have a crush!"

"As if! Kagome likes Hojo!"

Kagome's eyes widened. "What? I don't like Hojo! You think I like him because you guys always set me up!"

They were about to walk into the store when a figure zoomed past. The door flew open.

"What's wrong with me?" Kagome heard InuYasha's voice. Her eyes widened even more, in disbelief.

"What was that?" Yuka looked confused (duh!).

"C'mon!" Kagome grabbed Eri's wrist and ran into the store.

InuYasha had his ears pinned to his head. He heard something…like footsteps. He peered over his shoulder. To his amazement, there was Kagome. "I knew something smelled familiar." He smiled at the girl, and then he noticed her friends.

"Hey InuYasha. What are you doing here?" Kagome smiled back and looked at her friends. What's there problem? His ears are down far enough not to notice them.

"Kagome who's the guy?" Eri finally asked. "He's cute."

Kagome was feeling a bit jealous. "Oh, this is…"

"InuYasha." InuYasha looked at Kagome and gave her the look that said 'What are you doing here?'

Kagome thought that it was O.K. that her friends met InuYasha, as long as they didn't see his ears.

After grocery shopping, the girls all went to the mall (InuYasha went home.). Yuka had bought a new yellow headband and was wearing it in the food court.

"I don't see the difference." Ayumi put her hands on her hips. "Waste of money, i think..."

"The other one was 'Canary Yellow; this one's just yellow." Yuka turned to Kagome, and smirked. "Someone's got a new boyfriend...doesn't she?"

"What? NO!" Kagome narrowed her eyes. "He's a guy i met at..." Kagome stopped herself. 'Crap. I can't say that I met him in the well house...'

"Met him where?" Eri questioned.

"At the...ano...my grandfathers store!" Kagome faked a smile. "OK then..." She stood up. "Any one hungry? I'm starved. WacDonald's anyone?" (A/N: In japan i think it's called WacDonald's)

A bit longer... whadya think? R&R!
