Hello once again! This is going way better than I expected and I'm not quite sure how I managed to write this chapter so fast.
Disclaimer: Its been 1 day, I still am in PA and own nothing.
The girls and Miroku were happily making their way down town in Sango's new car that she got for her birthday. It was her baby, it was perfect for her, it was everything a car can be, it was a red Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder.
"I wonder if someone with extreme arachnophobia would ever come within 20 feet of this car" Rin wondered.
"Well Kagome didn't go into hysterics, does that answer your question?" Miroku offered.
"Yeah, well...Shut up guys I was 5! It was dark! And you convinced me that their really were 8 legged freaks!" Kagome tried to defend herself.
"Those were good times, I almost wish I was 5 again, but then I wouldn't be able to drive this kick ass awesomely awesome automobile!" Sango said full of glee. "Hey! Let us all go get our mall on!" she suddenly added.
"Hey umm, Sango dear, if you don't mind me asking, where in the world did you pick up your new lingo?" Miroku cautiously asked as Sango pulled a very fast and very sharp turn. The whole time, he had managed not to scream like a sissy girl and mentally patted himself on the back.
"I'm not quite sure actually, its a long story..." Sango drifted deep in thought but came back to the real world just as the turn for the mall's parking garage came into view.
Soon, everyone in the car was scouting out the best spot to park. Eventually, one was found by Rin and it was close to the elevators. As Sango was about to take the spot, a black Mustang GT came out of nowhere and took the spot. This was it! Sango had lost all her patients and exploded on the people in the other car. She screamed, kicked, and karate chopped all before she made it out of her car. Kagome, Rin, and Miroku all knew what was about to happen so they discreetly slipped out of the car and attempted to warn those poor unfortunate souls.
Kagome went to the passenger's side and knocked on the window. Inside the could hear the muffled sound of "Wrong Way" by Sublime and knocked a little harder. Eventually the door opened and she was hit with it, then her foot was stepped on by a completely oblivious teen. Clearly she was shocked by the attack but was even more shocked when she saw who it was.
On the other side, Rin wasn't having any better luck. She also heard the music and shouted, "Oh I love this song!" and started to dance, but never stopped knocking on the window. It was quite a sight actually. Sometime during her little performance, the window was put down with her hand still knocking at a constant speed. Needless to say, someone became very annoyed. Soon she realized that she wasn't knocking on glass and slowly stopped all her movements. She saw silver hair, and angry gold eyes. She was absolutely ecstatic when she put two and two together, got four and hugged the person who was still in the car.
Miroku, who stayed back and risked life and limb to calm the enraged Sango, watched as two silver headed teens came out of the car and stared at everything around them in disbelief. On the car's driver side you had Rin, the happy-go-lucky gal she was telling the two how happy she was to see them. On the passenger side was Kagome wide eyed, mouth open, and standing on one foot. Then there was the power couple that could only be described as Sango and Miroku. Everything was quiet until...
"Hey Homie G, what's crackin?" Sango yelled from a distance after Miroku had managed to calm her down and tell her who was in the offending car.
"Sango, your new vocabulary is really starting to bother me and I fear for your sanity. Please stop before we are forced to have you committed." Miroku almost begged then convinced Sango to let him park her car 3 spots down the row.
Down by the car, reunions had taken place. It seemed that the girls, being Rin, Kagome, and Sango, had met the guys being Miroku, Sesshomaru, and Inuyasha, down in Hershey on a vacation over the summer last year. Since then, Miroku had moved to the town the girls lived in during the school year. They all met up in biology and a full fledged friendship was born. Now, it was time to spend some quality time with the "new kids" and get them accustomed to life in the northern part of Pennsylvania, which couldn't be that different from anywhere else in the state.
"Hey guys!" Rin began, "We should head in, people are starting to stare and we haven't done anything remotely interesting." Just as she finished saying this, she tagged Sango while yelling "tag, you're it" and ran into an elevator. Sango bolted after Kagome, who went into her own elevator which left the guys in the parking garage with a hell bent tagger. Thinking quickly, they split up and ran around until they found someway to get into the mall and away from it. Eventually, Sango tagged them all, but not after skillfully avoiding the mall cops.
"We need to play a new game! One that will make people shake their heads and walk away!" Sango declared like she was a founding father declaring her independence.
"We haven't played blind hide and go seek in a while." Miroku suggested.
Before with the game of tag, Inuyasha and Sesshomaru knew what to do, but now they were talking about blind hide and go seek. Someone needed to clarify the rules or something.
"Its really easy, all you do is go into a store that you know a lot of people would be in, close your eyes if your it, and look for your friends." Rin explained. "Its a tradition that we started a long time ago. Last week actually."
"Oh! I get it!" Inuyasha said and had a look that said, 'wow I can't believe I didn't get that'. Sesshomaru on the other hand had a look that said, 'well duh'.
The girls smiled and at the same time yelled "1,2,3, not it!" followed by a "Not it" from Miroku and Sesshomaru, and lastly a "Not it! Dammit!" by the one and only Inuyasha.
The store that was picked to host the game was Hollister, it seemed like the perfect place with the dim lighting and all. When they got in the store, some of them got ready for the game and the others took pity on the people in the store that were not there to play. Soon the game began. Everyone successfully avoided Inuyasha and almost wet themselves from laughing when he grabbed and old lady, probably a grandmother, and yelled, "Ha! Now your it" and opened his eyes. The exchange went a little something like this:
"Oh my word!What are you doing you hooligan!"
"Playing hide and go seek,what does it look like?"
"I'll see to it that you never come back to this store again!"
"Go ahead you old coot! I don't need you or this store!" Inuyasha yelled, gave her the one finger salute, and marched out of the store.
Inside, the girls were hiding in the clothes racks and watching everything. Miroku and Sesshomaru were nowhere to be found, but that was the idea of the game. The girls suddenly popped out of the middle their own hiding spots and frightened more innocent bystanders. All of them had to bend over and hold their stomachs from laughing so hard. Sometime between coming up and laughing so hard tears came out, the hiding guys appeared out of nowhere. Once the girls calmed down a bit, they wrestled their way out of the clothes racks and went to look for Inuyasha. When they found him, he looked like he had been chased down and beaten with a huge purse filled with nonsensical items.
"Oh my god Inu, that has got to be the best thing that has ever happened!" Sango said as she leaned against the wall.
"Yeah, who knew you could provoke an old lady to do this to you." Kagome said and almost burst into tears again from keeping a laugh in.
"I never said she did this to me! I could have just fell down! I haven't said nothing about being beaten by an old lady to old to be my grandmother." Inuyasha attempted to defend himself.
"Anything." Sesshomaru corrected "You haven't said anything about being beaten by an old lady. Sheesh if your gonna complain at least be grammatically correct about it."
Just as he finished saying this, Rin found a poster with an advertisement for a contest on it and told everyone about it."Hey guys, I found a poster telling me that I could win! I think we should sign up for it!"
"What's it for?" Kagome asked with an interested look.
"Umm I didn't look that much but I will now!" Rin looked at the highlighter yellow colored paper and saw it. "Its a battle of the band contest!"
"That sounds cool, but its impossible seeing as we don't have a band." Sango said in a tone that no one really understood what she meant by it.
"Its a great idea, but Sango is right, we don't have a band." Kagome added.
Away from the girls, the guys were trying to decide if they should enter the contest.
"We do have a band, so we should sign up, show up, and kick the competition's ass!" Inuyasha said before anyone else could get a word in.
"Even though we have a band, we haven't played as one since Miroku moved in December! Its now July!" Sesshomaru practically yelled to Inu.
"We should do it anyway, the girls probably are going to do it and they don't even have a band! They do play instruments though." Miroku told them.
"If they can do it, so can we!" Inuyasha stated. "Now let's go sign up!"
The girls had finally decided to sign up as a band, even though the band was about 2 minutes old and didn't have a name. They had no idea the guys were in a band, what could happen once the competition began, or that they were going to meet some people that would put the tornado to their Wizard of Oz lives.
Okay, so there it is! I know, its kinda cliche but what can I say, I'm a sucker for 'em and I'm gonna get some great songs for this! Now do what you do best whatever that is!
