"Welcome to Rene's hair salon, how may I help you?" A cheery woman at the front of the hair salon in the mall greeted Kagome and her friends. "Hi, we'd like to get his hair trimmed," She pointed to InuYasha. Miroku's hair was fine, the pony tail in the back would do. "And, her hair trimmed just a bit." Kagome pointed towards Sango.
Sango's hands flew to the back of her head. "What are they going to do to my hair, Kagome?" She asked. An elderly looking woman looked up in confusion at Sango. Kagome blushed. "Don't make a scene, Sango. They're just going to trim it, alright?" Kagome sighed. Sango nodded, but you could still see a look of worry in her face.
Kagome tried to tell herself that it'd be alright. She really should stop getting angry at them. They brought her home instead of wasting time and bringing her to feudal era doctors, which resulted in her getting some time at home with no demon slaying and just relaxing. Well, other than having her two worlds colliding into one. Yeah, no big deal…
They walked over to the waiting area and sat down. "Where did Miroku go?" InuYasha asked as they took their seats. Their glance turned to the receptionist desk. They blinked, watching Miroku. "So, I think it's just wonderful that you have such a…well paying occupation." Miroku stated, rubbing her bum.
The girl blushed and her hand moved up and slapped him across the face. "If you get out now, I won't call the mall security." She blushed. Kagome grumbled. "Let's go." She sighed as they exited. People started at the strange attire of InuYasha, Sango and Miroku as they passed by. "You dumbass!" Kagome hissed at Miroku.
Miroku rubbed his sore cheek. "I didn't do anything, just taking in her succulent beauty." Kagome, Sango and Inuyasha rolled their eyes in unison. "That's the only hair salon in the mall." Kagome frowned. "Wait, I have an idea." They walked along. They passed by a group of teenagers who threw dirty looks in their direction. A mother with her young daughter who cowered at the site of the group.
Kagome took of the hair hand from her wrist and tugged on InuYasha's shoulder. "Lean back," She insisted and he obeyed. She gathered his white locks and lifted his had for a brief moment and putting the pony tail underneath the hat. "As for you Sango," She sighed. Her hair would have to do. It wasn't that un-normal, right?
"Where to now?" Miroku asked as they exited. "We'll go to Abercrombie and Fitch." Kagome said as they walked behind Kagome. "Guys, this is called an escalator." Kagome paused to the side and let the people behind them go ahead, pushing them off to the side. It was somewhat comical. When you were little, you had to be explained to how to step onto an escalator. And you were always afraid of falling or tripping down the escalator. But, that was when you were 5. Kagome looked at the group. InuYasha, Sango and Miroku's eyes were all resting on the people going down the escalator. "You just step onto a step, and then you go down." Kagome explained. They nodded. "Here, who wants to go first?" Kagome ushered them over to the entrance.
InuYasha cleared his throat. "I'll go first." He blinked a few times and the people behind them waiting to get on started to get restless and left for the elevator. InuYasha stepped on with one foot, his other foot still planted firmly on the ground. His body started to stretch, one leg on the escalator, one still on the ground. "InuYasha!" Kagome squealed. "Move your foot!" New people behind them started. Well, you would too if you saw 3 people from the feudal era trying to go down an escalator.
InuYasha instantly picked up his other foot and set it down. Kagome helped Miroku and Sango on to the escalator. She made a mental note to keep track of Miroku. If he pulled a Miroku on them and started perving on some innocent girl, then he could go to jail. And for the clothes he was wearing, it might be somewhat hard to bail him out when the police thought he was on something.
"Now step off!" Kagome leaned towards the side of the escalator and told Inuyasha, Sango and Miroku to step off the elevator. Kagome sighed as she stepped off the elevator. The day had barely yet begun and she was already exhausted. Maybe even more exhausted than she felt after fighting a demon. This was comical to her, the equivalence of taking 3 feudal era residents shopping and fighting a demon was equal in terms of exhaustion.
"Guys, I'm warning you now," Kagome stopped outside the store. "It's loud in here, blaring music. So, if it hurts, just plug your ears." Kagome said. They nodded and walked in. Music was blaring from the speakers. InuYasha, Sango and Miroku winced and covered their ears. "OW!" Sango hissed. The skinny blonde girl who was waiting to help them blinked. "Uhm…weclome to Abercombie and Fitch." She gulped and Kagome smiled weakly. "Thanks."
"Come on, Sango. We'll find some stuff for you first." Kagome took Sango by the hand. Miroku and Inuyasha followed behind. Kagome was hoping to get them into the first clothes she saw. Their clothes were outdated and out of style, by hundreds of years. "What's with this creature on the clothes?" Miroku held up a blue collared shirt and pointed out the moose icon.
Kagome giggled. "It's just the icon for Abercrombie," She replied. She held up a pair of skinny jeans. "You like these, Sango?" Sango turned around from the rack of winter coats she was looking at. She ran her fingers down the jeans. "Yes." She nodded. "They're very nice." Kagome looked at the price tag. A little pricey, $150. But at least, if Miroku, Sango, Shippo and Inuyasha did come back to her time, they'd have something to wear.
After an hour of gruesome shopping, Kagome looked over her friends. Sango's black hair had been styled by Kagome while Inuyasha and Miroku were in the dressing room into two French braid pigtails. She was dressed in a pair of Abercrombie and Fitch skinny jeans that hugged her figure nicely and a light blue collared shirt. Inuyasha, still wearing his baseball cap, was wearing a pair of jeans and a white hoodie. Miroku had found a pair of biker gloves, jeans and a burgundy muscle shirts. Kagome smiled as she handed the tags to the clothes and her credit card to the cashier.
Their feudal era clothes were packed tightly into Kagome's bag. They would not come out again until they were ready to go back to the feudal era. "There you go. Have a nice day." The cashier said. Kagome smiled and took her credit card back. She tucked it back into her purse and turned back to her friends. "Are you guys hungry?" She asked. They nodded. She did good. Turning 3 people from the past into stylish present-goers. Why not splurge on a few calories? She sure as hell deserved it.
