Inuyasha was dazed by all the screaming, but also became a little bit accustomed to it in the last three minutes. ' i guess this is their official greeting, weird..., but if that's the way they do it in this era, I guess, i would have to do it, too... I wouldn't want to stick up like a sore thumb.' Inuyasha thought logically. (Ain't this guy smart?)

Anyhow, Inuyasha decided to 'return their greetings'. He screamed as loud as he can. He never realized that how loud or girl-like his screams can be... He ran around the store, waving his hands like a maniac. The way he was moving, he really did look like a crazy maniac.

After a few minutes, the store was deserted (well, obviously), except a little girl that hid behind the counter. However, Inuyasha was too occupied with the merchandise in the store to notice the scent of another human. Inuyasha entertained himself by playing with the jewelry, but one certain item caught his eye. It was a beautiful necklace made from pearls and gold.

'Kagome will love this' Inuyasha thought as he stuffed this in his pocket. 'Uh-oh! I was suppose to find Kagome! Oh cr---' His thoughts were interrupted by a small hiccup.

"Who's there?" Inuyasha asked alertly.

"Um, hi (hiccup) mister. My na(hiccup)me is Rin (hiccup)," the girl answered timidly as she peered out from behind the counter, her face stained with tears.
