InuyashaMaster - Yeah, I thought so, though I'm not exactly the biggest Kagura/Sess fan in the world, they do make a good couple. I don't plan on having any other pairing besides Inu/Kag Mir/San…and two more of my choice - please don't flame! They're not bad…or long lasting…well they're not really pairings either I guess, remember Mya, Kagome's friend, the one who ha a crush on Miroku, well, she comes back and flirts with Miroku…so I guess flirting isn't really a pairing…and then neither is the other one with Sango and…OOPS! Can't say n e more! Bad Dragon:whacks head: you almost gave out the secret!. Well, forget it then, the other two are just flirting and mild dating scenes…I'm really confusing myself… THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING! …And for explaining that for me!
SesshoumaruGal - You're welcome! Ok, so I don't have to change Inu, good, cause I meant for him to be all "Grr!". XD Now, you had questions, I shall answer!
1. InuYasha's mom is in the hospital, I can't tell you much now, cause it's gonna be thoroughly explained in a chapter dedicated to it and only it…later on. But for now I can say, his mom's been in he Hospital for a few weeks because she's sick. No one will tell him why because even if he is 17, they don't wanna tell him cause they think he's too young, has that ever happened to you before, I mean there you are, all sure you can handle it, you've been buggin' everyone to tell you about it but no one will and even if you're not too young, everyone says you are! I hate that! …back to the part where I answer the questions…not ask them… Ok, so no one will tell him what's wrong with her, and he's worried about her. Every one tells him she's ok, but he kind of doesn't believe them. I wouldn't either.
2. Yes, they moved from Kyoto to Tokyo, if you look on a map, that's pretty darn far, from one side of Japan to the other (not north/south -wise of course…).
3. They don't ride their bikes to school, if you look back at Chapter 1, then you can see that Kagome and Sango walked to school, They just meet at the bike rack.
I always look forward to you're reviews, please continue!
Zazolia - Thank you! They are idiots, aren't they? Well, Miroku is at least (But I shouldn't be talking about him, I love Miroku…although he doesn't even come close to my dear Inu!) I'm so glad you thought it was funny! Lol .
Obliviandragon - Sorry if I didn't make that too clear! ' oops…well, Wonderful question! No he is not a half demon! I probably should have put that in one of my authors notes…hmm…oh well, please review again!
'Kay everyone, get ready for the longest chapter so far, I've never really written one this long before…but I really like this fic. I work on it in class when we have free time too '

Chapter 4 - Making New Friends
Kagome started to laugh.
The boys looked at each other, exchanging confused looks.
"What?" InuYasha asked.
"Nothing, nothing. Come on, let's go, Sango's waiting." Kagome grabbed their hands, InuYasha's in her left hand and Miroku's in her right.
She walked them to the mall. Laughing along the way.
"Feh. Whatever."
"Kagome, what might I ask is so funny?" Miroku asked, still confused.
Kagome giggled and continued pulling them.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Chapter 5 - At the Mall
InuYasha looked down at where Kagome was holding his hands. He pulled his hand out.
Kagome looked up at him for a second and turned back around.
"I can't walk myself…" InuYasha mumbled.
Miroku on the other hand, was enjoying the contact, not just because it was Kagome, it was because it was a girl, a very pretty girl at that. He gladly let her lead the way, even if he did know where it was.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kagome release Miroku's hand as soon as she spotted Sango in the mall parking lot. She ran up to her. "Sango!"
Sango, who was talking to a very handsome boy, turned to see Kagome running towards her, waving. "Hey Kagome!" She waved back.
Kagome stopped and put her hands on her knees, trying to catch her breathe. He stood straight and smacked Sango's arm.
"Ow, Hey, Kagome, what'd ya do that for?" Sango rubbed her arm, wincing.
"That was for running out on me and leaving me with two completely immature boys!" She smacked her again. "That was for hurting Miroku!…though he did deserve it…"
"Kagome!" Sango began again.
Kagome smacked her arm again. "And, that! Was for almost getting run over by a truck!" She turned and marched over to InuYasha and Miroku. "This way guys." Kagome pointed to two figured, talking.
Sango looked at her.
"What was that all about?" the boy asked.
"Heh, heh, I have no idea what she was talking about…" Sango replied nervously, rubbing the back of her head.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Sango!" Miroku called.
Sango turned around to see Miroku standing next to her.
"What do you want?"
"Miroku wanted to tell you something…" InuYasha pushed Miroku a little.
He stumbled but cleared his throat.
Sango looked at Kagome, who in turn shrugged and gave InuYasha a questioning look. She turned to face Miroku. "Yes?" She said nervously.
"I'm…" He sighed and grabbed her hand.
Sango breathed nervously and blushed a little.
"I'm…uh…I…hmm…"
"Out with it already." InuYasha hit him gently on the back.
"I'm getting to it!" He looked down at Sango again. "I'm sorry, Sango, I didn't mean to offend you in any way." He turned to InuYasha. "There! Happy?"
Sango looked bewildered and amazed at the same time. She smiled and blushed. She didn't know how or why, but she threw her arms around his neck and gave him a hug. She opened her eyes and noticed what she was doing, she also noticed Miroku wasn't hugging her back. 'He must be in shock' She thought. She found he smelled really good, and blushed a bright red color.
Miroku was indeed shocked. Sango was…hugging him. Before he had a chance to return the embrace, a red-faced Sango pushed him away and turned to the boy whom she was talking to earlier.
He was staring at her in disbelief. "So this is the 'Miroku' you told me about?" He asked in a state of confusion.
She blushed. "No!…I mean yes, but, he's never really apologized before and I guess I got caught up in the moment…"
"Sango…who is this…?" Kagome asked, apparently just noticing there was another person in the parking lot with them.
"Oh, right, my name is Hiroshi, nice to meet you." He shook Kagome's hand.
"Nice to meet you too. I'm Kagome."
"InuYasha." InuYasha said lazily.
"InuYasha, what an odd name." Hiroshi exclaimed.
"And you're Miroku…?" He said, slightly frowning, not even bothering to extend a hand.
"Yeah, so how'd you two meet Sango?" Kagome asked curiously.
"Oh, well, after I got to the parking lot, I dropped my bag and I leaned over to pick it up, when Hiroshi beat me to it." She smiled at him, he smiled back.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Flashback
Sango had finally calmed down. She walked slowly into the parking lot, her mind drifted to Miroku. 'Dumb pervert…' she thought.
BEEP!
She snapped out of her thoughts and saw a car stop right in front of her. She wasn't watching where she was going and almost got run over…again.
Sango dropped her backpack as the car passed. She bended over to pick it up, when someone else reached down as well.
"Here you go, Miss." A gentle voice said.
Sango looked up. Standing before her, holding her bag out for her, was a very handsome boy; around 16 or 17 years of age. He had dark blond, shaggy hair that fell over his ears, so you couldn't see them, a pair of sunglasses resting at the tip of his nose as he looked down at her. He had blue eyes with specks of green and yellow and wore a short-sleeved, un-buttoned shirt showing the white undershirt he wore underneath and a pocket on the left side. The boy wore tan shorts and sneakers. He looked very kind, and very cute.
Sango stood and took her bag, smiling at him. "Thank you."
"I'm Hiroshi." He reached out for her hand and shook it.
"I'm Sango, pleased to meet you." She blushed slightly.
Over the next few minutes, Sango and Hiroshi talked about themselves and as to why Sango was there alone.
"So, tell me. What is a pretty girl such as yourself doing at the mall alone?" He asked with a raised eyebrow and a charming smirk.
Sango blushed and told him about what happened between her and Miroku..
He laughed a little and they talked some more.
"Sango!"
She turned to see Kagome, with Miroku and InuYasha walking slowly a few yards behind her, running to her.
End Flashback
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Yep, pretty much." Hiroshi smiled.
"Hey Kagome, we going in anytime soon?" InuYasha was impatiently tapping his foot.
"Yeah, yeah, in a second." Sango replied with a wave of her hand.
"Sango, I gotta go, I work down at 'Mizu Nuki'. (A/N: I'm pretty sure that means 'Water Escape' in English.) You can come down 'n visit me if you like," Hiroshi pulled her into an embrace and left.
Sango was blushing again. She turned around. "So, shall we go?" She looked at Miroku and couldn't help but notice a hint of hurt in his eye, she felt guilty…
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The four entered the mall and Kagome pulled InuYasha to the first shop on the right, the book store.
Everyone groaned.
"Oh, shut up guys, it's fun, they have new books in this week, comics too!" Kagome liked to read, not too much of course. She mainly like to browse.
"Comics?" InuYasha said slightly interested.
They walked into the store and InuYasha gaped at the comic section. He walked right up to it, grabbed a comic off of the shelf and began reading.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kagome giggled and walked over to the counter. "Hi, may I get a list of new books please?"
"Sure…" The girl at the counter said. She was very pale and had black hair with blue highlights. She had a nose ring and too much eyeliner and mascara on. She looked in her desk drawer and pulled out a copy of the list.
Kagome looked it over thoroughly. She handed it back.
"Keep it, I've got tons more…" She spoke in a monotone voice as she blew a bubble from her gum.
"Um, alright, thank." Kagome strode off to find a book.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Meanwhile. Sango was busy looking at the journals and diaries they had in stock. 'Kagome was right. They do have some cool new things in…'
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Miroku was looking at the calendars. He desperately needed one. His eye caught a female posing on one of the covers. 'Swimsuits…' He thought as he smirked.
He slowly looked through them.
"Ahem."
Miroku dropped the calendar and turned around, very red. "Sango!" He laughed nervously. "All done? Me too. Let's go!" He began walking, but Sango stopped him and stuck out her hand. "Eh?"
"What were you looking at?"
"Nothing, nothing…"
"Miroku…"
He sighed and handed her the calendar.
She started to laugh. "And this interests you?"
"What?" He was confused…she didn't hit him.
"Their not that cute Miroku…you must be desperate." She gave the calendar back to him and walked away. Then she stopped. "Oh, right…" She slapped him, not that hard though, but he still winced. "Pervert…"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"I'm all done," Kagome said with an upset look and empty hands. "How 'bout you InuYasha?"
InuYasha was busy paying for the comics. "How come you didn't got anything, it was your idea to come here."
"Yeah, I know, but nothing really caught my attention…I see you found exactly what you were looking for." she pointed to the tall stack of comics that was going into a bag.
"Here you go." The lady behind the counter straightened up and smiled at InuYasha. "Have a good day!" She winked.
InuYasha ignored her and left to find Miroku and Sango.
Kagome saw Miroku looking at key chains, obviously bored. "Miroku, you done?" She asked.
Miroku brightened up and dropped the key chain he was holding. "Yeah! Let's go get some candy now!"
Kagome giggled, he was just like a kid. "First let's find Sango, 'kay?"
"She's waiting outside by the pet shop." He pointed to the exit.
"Pet shop? In the mall?" InuYasha asked no one in particular.
Kagome nodded "Yeah, come on." She led the way out and over to Sango, who was playing with a puppy on the other side of the glass.
"Sango, wanna go inside?" Kagome asked her excited friend.
"Yeah!" Sango smiled and pulled Kagome in.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kagome saw an adorable little Scottish terrior. "Aww! Look InuYasha!"
"Feh."
"Would you like to hold it?" Asked an employee.
"Yes, please!"
The man opened the cage and took out the yipping puppy and handed it to Kagome.
Kagome squealed with delight. "You're so precious! Aww, InuYasha, look at his eyes, aren't they beautiful?"
"Sure, whatever."
Kagome rolled her eyes. "He's just jealous cause he has golden eyes and I haven't once complimented him." She hugged the puppy and squealed once again.
InuYasha smirked. "But you have noticed."
Kagome blushed. "Shut up…" she mumbled.
"Put the mutt down and lets go get candy!" InuYasha smiled.
Kagome turned around and hit him on the chest. "He is not a mutt!"
InuYasha took a step closer and took the little dog. He looked at him carefully.
The puppy yipped and panted. He put his head down and licked InuYasha.
InuYasha moved the dog and held it up high. He couldn't help but smile.
"Told ya he was cute…" Kagome smiled triumphantly.
"I guess."
"Are you done?" The employee came back.
Kagome looked at InuYasha and he nodded, handing the puppy back.
"Bye." Kagome waved.
Her and InuYasha walked around the shop to find their other two friends. The found Sango playing with a little black and brown kitten with a tan circle around the left eye. Miroku was playing with parakeets, until he put his hand in the cage and one of them bit him.
"Ready to go? InuYasha wants candy." Kagome laughed. InuYasha smiled as he nodded.
"Coming." Sango put the cat down. "I think I'll ask my dad for a kitten. I've always wanted one. I saw an adorable one in the back. She was a cream color with a black tail and beautiful maroon eyes."
"You really think your dad will let you get one?" Kagome asked.
"Yes, why not, I get good grades and-"
"And you've only gotten detention 43 times last semester." Miroku added.
"You counted?" InuYasha laughed as Miroku smiled and nodded.
"Come on, lets get you some candy." Kagome said as she and Sango pulled the boys out of the pet shop.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
They roamed the mall in search of the candy shop.
"There it is!" Miroku shouted as he began walking to it.
InuYasha's face brightened up.
Kagome saw this and thought, 'He's just like a kid. I feel like I'm taking my brother, Souta to the mall instead of a 17 year old…'
She shook her head and smiled.
They entered the colorful shop and looked around.
There was a wall of chocolate, a bucket of bonbons, a list of all candy's made from 1800 till now, and on top of all that, everything was 20 off!
InuYasha looked as if he didn't know where to begin. He bought just about one of everything in the mall and pulled everyone out. Kagome looked at him. He had the comic books in one hand and the big bag of candy over his shoulder. She smiled and turned around, heading for a small shop that was dedicated to the mall..
"Where ya going?" Sango called after her.
"Be right there."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kagome exited the shop a couple minutes later and had a big cart with her. "Here InuYasha, those bags look heavy."
InuYasha looked at her and then the cart. "They're not really that heavy, I don't need a cart." He said stubbornly.
"Come on InuYasha, do you plan on buying anymore or not? You won't be able to carry everything!" Sango exclaimed.
"Fine, Fine!" He put his things in the cart and walked around to get it from Kagome.
"It's a rental though, so you have to give it back when you're done, there's a spot outside where you can return it." Kagome smiled.
"Whatever. So, now what?"
"Hmm…Kagome?" Sango smiled wickedly.
Kagome returned the smile.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
They lead the boys, more like dragged them, into a womens clothing shop. The bought a few things and then the worst part came. Sango spotted a women's undergarment store and pointed to I. Miroku turned a bright red, InuYasha didn't, he just looked really nervous and shook his head. Kagome looked about as nervous as InuYasha.
"I dunno Sango, maybe we shouldn't."
"Why not Kagome?" Sango looked at her confused, she would always go with her before.
"Well, now that InuYasha and Miroku are here, I'm not sure if we should…"
"Kagome, are you scared?"
"About what?"
"Embarassed then?"
"NO!"
"Then come on!" Sango was already heading for the door.
Kagome sighed. "Sorry guys." She pulled them inside.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A/N: WOOT! I did it! Long chapter and finally, a little cliffy…I don't like the big ones, they make me anxious…
Lol, well, I already thanked the reviewers…and said it was long…OH! Have you noticed that Kagome's been pulling Inu and Miroku a lot…? I have…just a few sentences ago when I wrote the last part of the chapter…XD
Well, that's all for now, I can't wait to get your reviews!
Dragon
P.S! (ooo I have a 'p.s.' note…hehehe) The new chapter will be called 'Awkward Moments!'. And, readers, I hate to burst your bubble, but the chapter will not deal with awkward moments between Inu and Kagome…so sorry, but it's only chapter 6, that's way too early!
