Chapter 11
[Kagome Point of View]
My new alarm on my bedside table started beeping and the obnoxious sound woke me up out of my sleep. I grumbled how much I hated technology as I leaned over a clicked the snooze button. Once the beeping died down, I set my head back on the pillow for a few minutes.
But as that usually goes, 5 minutes was more like 20.
I woke up with Souta banging on my door.
"Kagome! Come on, we're gonna be late!" I lazily looked over at my clock and my eyes shot open. It was 8:20, I had exactly 10 minutes to get ready and run to school, all before missing the second bell.
I hoped out of bed and dashed over to my closet, pulling out a lime green t-shirt and a pair of jeans. I hopped around trying to manage brushing my teeth, putting my jeans on and fixing my hair at the same time.
Once I was finally ready, my hair thrown into a sloppy ponytail, I grabbed my book bag and Souta and we dashed out the door, Souta barely managing a good-bye. I ran down the road, Souta attempting to keep up behind me. We were almost there, but in my hurry, I tripped and held my arms out to catch myself. When I hit the ground, I gasped at the sudden pain in my hands. I sucked air through my teeth as I inspected the scratches, blood coming to the surface. I shook my hand out as I stood up.
"You okay?" Souta asked me. I nodded.
"Yea, now come on."
And with that we ran the remaining distance to the school. I bolted down the 11th grade hallway and to my locker, practically pulling off the door. I pulled out my books for geometry and English and ran to geometry. I opened the door, and the moment I stepped into the room, the bell rang. I breathed a sigh of relief as I walked over to my seat. I dropped my books down and sat in the chair before looking up at the teacher.
"What the?"
Mr. Totosi was currently sleeping on his desk, a pool of drool collecting under his chin.
"What is it Kagome?" Sango asked me.
"You mean I went through all that bull to be on time and he's sleeping?" I said. Sango said nothing. I laid my head down on my desk, my hair falling everywhere around me.
"Kagome?" I heard Inuyasha say. I rolled my head over so I could look at him.
"Yea?"
"Are you okay?" He asked me. I raised an eyebrow.
"Yea, why?"
"Well, it smells like you cut yourself or something."
I stared at my hand, the blood still bright red.
"Yea, I fell earlier."
He suddenly kissed his finger and touched where I was cut. He smiled at me in a way that almost took my breath away.
"All better."
[Inuyasha Point of View]
School seemed to drag by endlessly. Once the final bell finally rang, the girls came down from music and art while Miroku and I waited at the steps.
"So do you have any plans later?" Miroku asked as we waited on the girls.
"Yea, Kagome and I are going out later," I told him, inspecting my claws.
"Oh, and where to?" He asked me. I shrugged.
"I dunno, she won't tell me."
My ear twitched and I looked up to see Sango and Kagome coming down the steps. Miroku waved at them and they picked up pace a little bit.
"Hey guys," Kagome said as she came to stand in front of us.
"Hey," We said at the same time. Sango put her hands on Miroku's back and pushed him forward.
"Can we hurry up?" She asked, still pushing Miroku towards the door. "I have a massive Biology test to study for! I need all the time I can get!" I chuckled as she pushed Miroku a little too hard and he fell flat on his face.
"Whoops." Sango said, not sounding at all like it was an accident. Miroku sat on his butt and clutched his wrist.
"Ow Sango, I think you broke my wrist." Sango suddenly looked worried and bent down to help.
"Here, let me see it."
While Sango was busy inspecting Miroku's 'broken' wrist, she didn't see his other hand slip around her and rub her but. Sango looking completely mortified, stood up and stepped on his hand, her shoes having small heels on them. When Miroku whimpered, she growled.
"I hope it's broken, lecher."
She stomped away towards the double doors.
"Come on!" She yelled over her shoulder. Kagome and I scrambled to catch up with her while Miroku attempted to pick himself up off the ground.
"Wait for me!" He said as we walked out the door to the parking lot.
?
After I had dropped off Miroku and Sango at their houses, I looked towards Kagome who was humming a tune I didn't recognize.
"So where are we going?" I asked her.
"To the mall."
"You're taking me shopping?" I questioned.
"Nope."
"Then why go to the mall? To eat?"
"The mall's food isn't good enough for that."
"Then where are we going?"
"You'll see."
I groaned as I turned into the mall parking lot. Kagome smiled as we walked in and once we were inside the mall, she grabbed me by the hand and tugged me along. I blushed slightly at the contact, but decided not to worry about it since she couldn't see my face at the moment anyways.
"This way," She said, maneuvering through the people and kiosks. I let her pull me along and soon she stopped and smiled even bigger. I turned to look at what she was smiling at.
"You're taking me to a build-a-bear?"
[Kagome Point of View]
"You're taking me to a build-a-bear?" he asked my incredulously. I nodded.
"Yep. Now come on!" And with that, I dragged him into the land of stuffed animals.
I walked right up to the plastic bins full of un-stuffed animals.
"I can't believe you dragged me to a build-a-bear," Inuyasha mumbled, his arms crossed.
"Oh, stopped whining, it's fun!" I said, picking up a blue bear with peace signs on it. I gestured towards the multiple bins. "Go ahead, pick one out."
He looked around at the different bins before sighing and picking up a wolf. I smiled encouragingly as he looked over at me. We walked over to the machine that stuffed the animals and waited in line with a bunch of 7-year-olds.
"I feel so dumb," Inuyasha muttered, thinking I couldn't hear him.
"Why?" I asked, moving up in line as a little kid scampered off to the next station.
"Look how many kids are in here."
I glanced around, not seeing what he was talking about.
"Yea, and?" I asked, shrugging.
"We're the oldest in here! Some of the employees are younger than we are!"
"Are you gonna bail on me?" I asked in a slight puppy dog tone. He looked at me for a minute.
"No…"
"Then lighten up! I came here all the time when I lived in my old town. No one cares how old you are in here." And as if on cue, a 40 year-old man and what looked to be his daughter ran in and over to the bins.
"Pick one daddy!" The cute little girl squealed.
"Okay okay," The dad said, picking out a monkey. I looked over at Inuyasha and smirked.
"See?"
"Yea, whatever." Then it was our turns at the stuffing machine. The girl in the chair was really pretty, with brown hair and dark green eyes.
"Hey, if you would, just pick out a heart out of the bin," She instructed me. I smiled as I dug into the bin.
There were pink and red hearts. I decided on a pink one and went to hand it to the lady. She smiled.
"Now hold it and make a wish," she told me. I closed my eyes and made a wish.
I want to be with Inuyasha forever, I thought before opening my eyes.
"K, now what?"
"Kiss the heart and hand it over," She said, but not in a rude way. I did as she told me and handed it to her. She carefully placed the heart in the bear and attached it to the machine. "Do you want it under stuffed, in the middle or over stuffed?" She asked me.
"Middle Please," I said. She nodded before putting her foot on the petal and expertly filling up my bear. She then proceeded to stitch up the hole in the back and test the bear.
"K, all set," She said, handing the bear over. I squealed in happiness as I suffocated my bear in a hug.
"Alright Inuyasha, your turn!" I said. He grumbled, but still dug through the bin and pulled out a red heart.
"Make a wish, please," The lady said. Inuyasha sighed before closing his eyes.
[Inuyasha Point of View]
"Make a wish, please," The chick told me. I sighed before shutting my eyes. I thought for a minute.
I want Kagome to love me back, I thought before opening my eyes and handing the heart over to the girl. She smiled before placing it in the wolf.
"And how do you want it stuffed?" She asked.
I shrugged. "Doesn't matter."
"Well, in that case, do you want to stuff it?" She asked me.
"Sure why not."
She smiled before getting up from her seat and gesturing for me to take her spot.
"Alright, you're gonna hook the animal up, and step on the petal. Put the pipe in each arm, leg and the head. Don't forget the body as well." She said. I nodded. She smiled at Kagome. "Well, I shall be right back," She said, walking off towards the counter. I slowly stuck the wolf on and put my foot over the petal, no pressure applied.
"No pressure," Kagome said, now suddenly beside me.
"Thanks," I said sarcastically.
"Anytime."
I pushed down a little harder and the machine started to fill my animal up.
"Oh yea," I said, smirking as I went to stuff the arms. I continued to stuff my wolf until I came to the body.
"Be careful," Kagome instructed me.
"Yea, yea, I know, shee—" But before I could finish, my wolf shot off of the pipe and cotton began shooting everywhere.
"Stop pushing the petal!" Kagome told me. I complied and the flow of cotton stopped.
"Yea, you know." Kagome said smugly.
"Shut up."
The employee came back and tsked us.
"Never leave a man to do a woman's job, huh?" She told Kagome. She laughed.
"You know it."
The girl picked my wolf off the ground and finished it up. She handed it to me with a smile.
"All done," She said. I thanked her and turned to Kagome.
"What next?" I asked.
"Well I don't particularly want any clothes, what about you?"
I shook my head.
"Then I guess we can go ahead home." She took her phone out of her pocket before putting it back. "It's almost 7 anyways, and we still need to eat."
"K."
We paid for our stuffed animals and exited the store. We left the mall and soon were looking for somewhere to eat.
"What are you in the mood for?" I asked. She looked around at the different places.
"How about… Ryan's?" She asked. I nodded and pulled into the parking lot. After we had gone into the building and through the line, we sat at a table where there were few people around.
"Are we going anywhere tomorrow?" Kagome asked. I shook my head.
"No, I have to study for a test, plus there's a meet afterschool," I told her, picking at my food.
"Oh, okay…. They didn't say anything about a demon meet on the announcements," She said. I shrugged.
"They never announce the demon meets. We don't get much recognition, but we're still the most popular team," I explained.
"Oh okay." Soon we finished our food and left, a 2 dollar tip sitting on the table.

K, I've only been to a build-a-bear once, so if you didn't get the full experience, I apologize. I know, weird way to end it, but any who, make sure you review ;D
