Chap. 6: Shopping and School

InuYasha was still preoccupied with the news that Kagome was so near him. He thought that she would stay in Japan, and more or less eventually forget about him.
I thought maybe she would have married that boy, what was his name, Hoho or something along those lines. Well maybe this is our chance to reunite.
The hanou was still wrapped up in his own thoughts when his phone rang.

"Hello" he said into the phone.

"Hey Yash," Sasha said into the phone.

"Oh, hey Sasha what's up?"

"Nothing, I was wondering if maybe you would want to come over tonight after your first day of classes" the girl asked.

"Um… yeah why not. My very last class ends around 7:30 p.m. so I can probably come by at eight."

"OKAY!" she exclaimed. "I will see you then. Love you."

"Bye," he said.

Kagome wasn't ready to go to her next class. She had mythology, which was one of her favorite classes, but today she just didn't feel up to much.

"I don't know why I just don't stay in," she said to herself as she was getting ready. "It would be easier than going to a few classes that end early today anyway."

Kagome started to get her keys and bag to leave and go to school but she finally decided that she was going to play hooky today. Picking up her phone she started dialing Ally's number.

"Hello," her friend said groggily. Ally I didn't have any classes until later that day, but Kagome figured it would be okay to talk the girl into going to the mall with her instead.

"Hey what are you doing right now?" Kagome asked already knowing the answer.

"Well, up until a minute ago, I was sleeping," her friend said sarcastically. "Why? Don't you have class right now?"

"I do, but I am not going. Wanna go to the mall and do some splurging?" the girl said ready to go whether her friend wanted to or not.

"Sure, why not. Are you gonna go to any of your classes?" Ally said, getting up finally.

"Yeah, probably my music class, and obviously my EL(english learners) class. They seem to think I need that when I already know the language" the girl said laughing as she pulled on some shoes.

"Alright," Ally said. "I will meet you at the food court of the mall in 15 minutes."

"Great," Kagome said smiling. "Maybe we can go out to that club again this weekend, my friends from back home are coming to visit for a week and they might like it."

"Sure," Ally sighed putting some clothes on to leave, "sounds like fun."

InuYasha walked into the English building looking for Dr. Edwards' mythology class. He laughed when he saw that this would be his first lesson. He knew about most mythology, living through a lot of it. But still he loved to see it being taught.

"Hello... Professor?" he said walking up to the man at the podium.

"Yes?" he asked looking the man up and down. "Who are you? You are not one of my usual students."

"No sir. My name is InuYasha Taisho. I just enrolled," he said looking the man strait in the eye.

"Okay," he said smiling. "Well I will have the janitorial staff bring in another desk later. We are usually full, but you can sit in Ms. Higurashi's desk for today. She managed to not show up."

"Higurashi?" InuYasha asked shakily. "As in Kagome Higurashi?"

"Yes," Prof. Edwards said looking warily at the young man, "Do you know her?"

"Yeah, well I did. A long time ago."

"Hm… she never told me she had many friends here," the man said. He obviously had a close relationship with the girl. "She said all of her friends from Japan still lived there."

"Yeah, well we lost touch a while ago. I moved here shortly after, and we haven't spoken since before that. She probably forgot me by now."

He better not be sleeping with my Kagome. It would be the only way he has that kind of smile on his face.

"Alright," the professor said. "Go sit in her seat. It's the only one left, as you can tell."

"Okay."

"Kagome what do you want to do?" Ally asked her friend as they walked through the mall looking at the different stores.

"I don't know," Kagome replied. "What do you wear out here?"

"Well…" her friend said. "I don't know what most people wear. Some girls go for the trashy stuff, but I say you should stick with what makes you look good. Obviously you don't need much to show off your body, that is pretty obvious. So I would say let's go into Charlotte Russe. They have a lot of clothes that aren't preppy, and really pretty laid back. Then we can try Pacific Sunwear (Pac Sun)."

"Okay," Kagome said as she was lead into the first store.

The girls spent a lot of time in the first store. Eventually coming out with several pairs of jeans, some skirts, a large number of top's ranging from skimpy to whatever else, and a few pairs of unmentionable items. When they went into the second shop, they ended up buying clothes from the men's department. Mainly stuff like four sweatshirts each, a few pairs of pants they thought were interesting, and a bathing suit or two (winter is the best time for that in Arizona).

"Where else to go?" Kagome asked, she was having so much fun.

"Well I say we drop our stuff into our cars and go into some different stores. I like that one rocker type store, Hot Topic, but I don't go in there very often" Ally suggested as they walked into the direction of the parking lot.

"Okay," Kagome agreed, ready to try out another type of store. "Why don't we meet at that pizza place and eat and then go shop some more?"

"Good plan." Ally said.

-30 minutes later-

Ally and Kagome were finished eating and ready to do more damage to their credit cards.

"OKAY!" Kagome said laughing at absolutely nothing. "ONWARD MARCH!" Grabbing Ally by the arm she started walking in the wrong direction.

"Kagome," her friend said. "the store is that way" and pointed in the correct direction.

Kagome laughed and they went in towards the next store. To find that yet again they would come out with more pants, shirts and skirts, and to many surprise. Kagome also got a new job.

A.N. Thought I would add some silliness into the story. I know it's short. But I had fun writing this chapter. More to come here soon! Read, and please leave reviews. I love feedback on my work.
