Chapter 5 - At the Mall
They lead the boys, more like dragged them, into a women's 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?"
"Embarrassed then?"
"NO!"
"Then come on!" Sango was already heading for the door.
Kagome sighed. "Sorry guys." She pulled them inside.

Chapter 6 - Awkward Moments
"Kagome, come out!" Sango knocked on the dressing room door.
"You've got to be kidding me!"
"Come on, Kagome, it can't be that bad!"
"It's not bad, just- Okay. You know what? Fine, have it you're way…"
Sango took a step back as Kagome unlocked the stall door.
"Hey, Sango, Miroku and I are gonna go wait outside," InuYasha and Miroku walked into the dressing room just as Kagome opened the door.
She was wearing a silky, see through , green night dress. It was low cut with a ribbon on the waist line. The look on her face went from uncertainty to embarrassment in a instant. "Oh my GOD!" She shrieked. "What the hell are you two doing here?" She tried her best to cover herself.
InuYasha and Miroku's faces went red . Miroku smiled though, and his eyes opened wider, trying to carve the sight into his mind.
"Uh…I…wha.." InuYasha gulped as he looked her up and down.
Kagome shot a glare at Sango and, still trying to cover herself, slammed the door.
InuYasha turned and exited the shop, while Miroku sighed dreamily.
Sango inhaled and exhaled as she turned around and left the dressing rooms, slapping the staring boy along the way.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Kagome and Sango walked further into the shop and looked around for InuYasha and Miroku, who ended up getting lost.
"INU!" A voice screeched.
Kagome turned around to face the voice and saw InuYasha being suffocated by Kikyo.
"Inu! I missed you! Where have you been? I tried to talk to you after school but you left before I could!"
InuYasha struggled to get loose. "Dammit, let me go!"
"Kikyo, what are you doing here?" Kagome asked angrily.
"What am I doing here? What about you?" Kikyo spat.
"I'm here with-"
"Kagome! A little help?" InuYasha interrupted.
"You're here with her?" Kikyo's blood boiled.
"Let go of me!" InuYasha demanded.
Kikyo let him go and walked up to Kagome. "So how'd you get a date with him?"
"What?" Kagome blushed and stepped back. "I'm not… Were not on a date, I just invited him to the mall with a couple of my friends."
"Humph!" Kikyo looked up at InuYasha. "Inu, why don't you come and have lunch with me, we could talk and get to know each other…"
"InuYasha looked slightly repulsed. "Uh…." He looked at Kagome. "I-"
"Kikyo, what the hell are you doing here?" Sango walked into view.
"Oh, so you're here with a bunch of girls?" She frowned at InuYasha.
"I'm here with Miroku too!" InuYasha fought.
Kikyo took InuYasha by the hand and began leading him out of the shop. Kagome grabbed his other hand and pulled him back in.
"Hey, you! Ya mind letting me go?" He yelled at Kikyo.
"My name is Kikyo, Inu."
"Fine, just stop calling me INU!"
Kikyo looked offended. "I'll call you whatever I want, now let's go eat something!" She smiled and pulled.
Kagome let go and walked over to Kikyo. "If he doesn't want to, then he doesn't have to!" She grabbed the arm Kikyo was tugging and freed it from her grasp.
Kikyo pushed Kagome onto the floor roughly. "Who are you to tell me that he doesn't want to go, if he didn't he would have told me!"
Sango bent down to see if Kagome was okay. She glared at Kikyo.
InuYasha looked at Kagome. She was his friend, or at least tried to be, he wouldn't let someone treat her like that. He turned to Kikyo, who jumped on him and smiled, her face inched from his. "Come on Inu, she won't bother us any more." She brought her face closer and pressed her lips to his. InuYasha stared at her; it didn't feel right. He pushed her away.
She fell to the floor. "Inu?"
"It's InuYasha!" He wiped his lips and lowered his hand to help Kagome up.
She smiled and put her hand in his. "Thank you."
"Whatever." He turned his head and looked at Sango. "Where's Miroku?"
Sango looked around. He was right. Miroku wasn't there. She frowned. "Miroku!" The yell echoed through the large mall.
"SANGO!" Kagome put a finger to her lips and beckoned her to be a little quieter.
Sango smiled nervously. "Oops…"
Kikyo got up and brushed herself off. "Fine, Inu, today you might not feel like going out with me, but you will, eventually. And as for you, "She glared at Kagome and brought her hand up to hit her.
InuYasha grabbed her hand before it touched Kagome and quickly threw it down.
Kikyo turned a deep red and frowned. "AAAARGH!" She stomped off angrily.
InuYasha turned to see Kagome staring at him and smiling. "What?"
"Thank you InuYasha." She blushed.
"Feh. Whatever."

"Sango!"
She turned to see who was calling her.
Miroku was running out of the Women's shop.
"Sango!"
"What?"
Miroku stopped and took Sango's hand.
"Sir!"
Miroku and Sango both looked at the lady who called him. She was a big lady with too much make up and frizzy red hair. She had more wrinkled than she did bracelets; which was about 3 dozen on each wrist.
"Sir, wait, you must look at this one!" She was holding a dark brown silk bra.
Sango raised an eyebrow as Miroku hid behind her. "Miroku? What's going on?"
Miroku chuckled nervously. "I…uh…was looking for you and stumbled upon…those…and I happened to tell them that I was a bra critic…"
InuYasha laughed. "Bra critic?"
Sango frowned at him and he stopped laughing. "Miroku, go tell her…" She sighed.
Miroku came out of hiding and nodded. Facing the large old woman, he apologized and confessed. All he got out of it was a shocked and disgusted gasp and a hard slap.
Kagome giggled. Sango frowned. Miroku sighed. And InuYasha smiled.
"Kagome?" InuYasha looked down at her.
She turned around. "Yes?"
"That girl Kikyo, she looked a lot like you…"
"Shut up! She does not!"
"Does too." He nodded.
Kagome hit him on the chest. "I don't look like that slut…" She blushed. 'He's got a firm chest…'
"Okay, if you say so…Um, can we go get something to eat now?"
"Yeah." Sango's stomach grumbled, "I guess we should."
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The four friends walked into the food court.
"Mmm, that smells good…" InuYasha let his nose lead him to where a man was preparing food for everyone to see. He inhaled again. "I think I know what I want!" He smiled brightly.
"Ooo…What is it?" Kagome looked closer.
"Sukiyaki, miss." The man at the grill answered.
"Hmm? Oh, is it good?" InuYasha asked
"You bet it is! One of my favorites."
"Then I guess I'll take that" InuYasha straightened and smiled.
"Um…I'll take…"
"Kagome, please hurry, you always take forever to decide…" Sango pleaded.
"Okay, okay, you guys order first. Hmm…"
Miroku stepped up. "Could I get….Gyu Tataki."
The man nodded.
"As for me, I think I'd like the Shabu Shabu." Sango turned back to Kagome. "Did you decide yet?"
She nodded. "I think so…Yakitori please."
"3,200 yen please. Ok, give me a few minutes and I'll bring your food to you." The man at the counter said as he gave them their change.
Kagome hurried over to a table and grabbed a chair by the fountain. InuYasha sat down next to her, Sango across, and Miroku next to Sango.
They talked for awhile until their food was brought to them. InuYasha was the first to dig in.
"This is awesome!" He chewed hungrily on a slice of beef as sauce dripped from his bottom lip.
Kagome stared at him and giggled, biting into her own dish as well.
They all ate in silence, with the few occasional "Mmm, these are good." and "I could eat this every day!"
Just as they all finished, a voice called out to one of them. "Sango!"
She turned to her head to see the boy she was talking to earlier in the parking lot. "Toshiro?"
"Hey Sango." He grinned happily, pulling up a chair and seating himself next to her. "Work let out early." He looked around. "Aren't you gonna introduce me?"
"Oh! Right!." Guys, this is Toshiro, Toshiro, this is Kagome, Miroku, and InuYasha."
"Nice to meet you." Toshiro held out a hand. InuYasha took it and shook slightly.
Miroku raised a brow and looked at him. This was the guy who was flirting with Sango. He opened his mouth to speak but-
Sango beat him to it. "Toshiro, what are you doing here?"
"I told you, I thought I'd come and find you. I wanted to ask you something."
"What?" Miroku cut in.
Sango glared at him, then looked sweetly at Toshiro. "Yes?"
"Well," He scratched his head. "Would you…um…like to go out with me this Saturday…maybe go see a movie or something?"
Sango blushed. She looked at Miroku, who's eyes were twice as wide and now staring at her. She looked back at Toshiro. "Um…" His eyes were full of hope. "…Uh, sure."
Toshiro's grin widened. "Really? Great! Um, what's your number, I'll call and get you're address, 'kay?" He searched through his pocket and pulled out a crumpled piece of paper and a pen and handed it to her.
Sango flattened the paper and wrote her phone number. Toshiro waved and left. She didn't want to look at Miroku, but gathered her courage and turned her head.
She new she never should have. He looked at her, face not showing any emotion, but she could see that in his eyes, the emotions that took over were pain, confusion, and…hurt. She looked over at Kagome, who's face was almost like Miroku's, only hers held a slight frown. InuYasha looked at Miroku, his face expressing sympathy.
Guilt hit her hard, and not in just one place, but all over. She was beginning to regret accepting his invitation. 'No, Sango. Miroku's gonna forget about it anyway, he'll be groping you again tomorrow. There's no point in regretting anything now. What's done is done. Besides, Toshiro's a very sweet guy.'
She smiled nervously. "Well, then. Let's get going, huh?"
Kagome nodded and stood, pulling up InuYasha, who seemed to be lost in thought.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As they walked, Sango in front, Kagome and InuYasha side by side behind her, and Miroku in back, they all had the same things going through their heads.
"Hey, Kagome." InuYasha nudged her arm.
"Hmm?"
"Do you think Miroku's alright with this? He seemed pretty hurt…"
"I don't know. I thought Sango liked him…I mean, I know she didn't show it, but, whenever he flirted with some other girl, Sango would get jealous, or as close to being jealous as one could get…" She whispered back.
"Hmm…I kinda thought Sango would've dumped the guy right then and there, guess I was wrong."
Kagome nodded. 'Poor Miroku…I hope he's alright…' She looked back at him.
He walked slowly, his eyes locked on nearby objects as he thought about a certain someone who broke his hear just a few moments ago. 'Sango…'
