Chapter 6: An evening to remember
Disclaimers: Huh… I'm bored of this shit… Inuyasha will do it today...
Inuyasha: You lazy wench. Why do I have to do your job?
DFS: Do you want me to get you and Kagome together or no?
Inuyasha: Keh. Do what you want, it's your story.
DFS: Alright then I'll just pair her with Kouga.
Inuyasha: Huh? Oh no, you won't do that. Come on, you won't right?
DFS: If you don't want me to, then do the disclaimers as you are told to.
Inuyasha: Fine. The wench doesn't own me. RT does. Now get on with the story will ya.
At the office:
It was lunch time and Rin didn't have any idea who she would have lunch with. So she headed to the ground floor to see if Kagome and Sango wouldn't mind her joining them. And to her relief they welcomed her. She had prepared some chicken and mayo sandwiches for herself and possibly for any new friend on her first day. Kagome and Sango had got themselves deep-fried fish fillets with some potato wedges and dipping sauce. They shared their lunch as they got to know each other better.
"Ahhh, I'm so dead. I know it. Mr. Sesshomaru is a big time meanie. Is he always like this? Or is he in an especially bad mood today?" Rin said as she sulked.
"Well, from what we know, he mostly is a cold person. But he is also real kind. He's into whole lotta charities. He just doesn't like showing his soft side I suppose" said Sango
"Oh, that's the one good thing I've heard about him. But by the way he treats me, I think I'll soon be thrown outta here. He won't even look at my face whenever he talks to me. He's really obnoxious."
"Oh don't worry. I'm sure you'll cope up with it all soon. By the way, we were supposed to head out for shopping after work. Why don't you join us? You know just to relax yourself and we'll get to each other better" asked Kagome
"Really? I mean only if it's okay with the both of you"
"Definitely. Do join us. Tomorrow's a national holiday anyway. We can relax tomorrow even if we get late tonight" Sango said excitedly.
"Alright then. That would be great. I'll meet you guys here after work. I'll leave now before Mr. Sesshomaru gets any opportunity to pass any nasty comments at me. Bye guys. See you"
With that they bid good bye and got back to work.
It was a couple minutes to 5pm. They got ready as they gathered their things and waited at their desk for Rin. Just then the lift opened and instead of Rin, they saw Inuyasha and Miroku. Inuyasha looked up as he spoke with Miroku and came smiling to greet Kagome. Kagome's heart skipped a beat.
"Hi guys. How have you been? Did you guys do well in your examination? It's been a while since I've seen you"
"We are fine and we hope we have done well" they both chorused. "How are you and Mr. Yamada?"
"I'm great" said Inuyasha. "Never been better and please, it's Miroku" said Miroku.
"So what are the plans now? What's next?" interrogated Inuyasha.
"Well, we'll go back to Japan in 3 weeks. By the end of this week we'll bring our 2 weeks' notice before resigning. These 3 weeks are gonna be really busy!" exclaimed Kagome.
"What? You guys are gonna go back for good? Damn! Won't you guys come back here for a job? I'm gonna miss you" said Inuyasha.
"Me too" said Miroku. Inuyasha just rolled his eyes at him.
'He's gonna miss me? Oh my God does he like me? Wait... What the hell am I thinking? He's just being polite. He's just saying it outta obligation… Ahhh, I'm so dumb' thought Kagome. Sango elbowed her teasingly as well as when she realized she was dreaming again while talking to Inuyasha.
"Oh yeah that really depends. If we get recruited through our institute it would be great. We can come back here, if not, well, we will still have our degree and can work in Japan" said Kagome.
"Hmmm, that's a bummer"
Just then Rin came running out of the elevator. "Hey guys, I'm ready. Are you ready to leave?"
"Oh yes. By the way, this is Inuyasha Takahashi, younger brother of Sesshomaru and you may know the GM of our office Mr. Miroku Yamada. And guys this is Rin Manabe, Mr. Sesshomaru's new PA" Kagome introduced one to another before the innocent Rin griped anything about Inuyasha's elder brother unknowingly.
"It's nice to meet you" they all said together.
"By the way are you guys going somewhere? We are leaving for Dublin main market and the mall for shopping" said Inuyasha.
"Really? That's where we are going too." said Kagome.
"Great, we could give you guys a lift then. Let's just all go there together. It'll be fun" said Inuyasha.
"Only if it isn't any trouble for you guys" the girls said.
"The more the merrier" said Inuyasha. "Yes, the more the merrier" said Miroku with a perverted look and was then hit on his head by Inuyasha.
"So what so you say?"
The girls looked at each other and smiled and all said "Okay"
They all headed to the parking lot in the basement of the building and just then realized they had two bikes.
"Oh shoot… I forgot I didn't get here in my car today" said Inuyasha naively.
"I can take one of you, if you want" said someone behind them. They turned to find Sesshomaru there. "Where are you guys heading to? I'm intensely bored today. Just wanna get out. I'm coming with you" he declared.
"Al….right" said Inuyasha confused. It had been years since they went out together. But he was glad. His brother needed to take it easy once in a while. It was all work, no play with him. "Sesshomaru, this is Kagome and Sango. They work at the reception" "Hmmm" he said knowingly.
"Okay then. Each of you can get on each bike with one of us. Kagome come with me" Inuyasha said cause he knew her more than he knew Sango and Rin. He would be comfortable with her at the back. Kagome just nodded as she hid her blush.
"Alright then, I'll go with Miroku" said Sango. She knew Rin didn't like Sesshomaru but she wouldn't let the young girl go with this pervert, she rather would. Besides, she could protect herself, she knew martial arts. Rin pouted. She was stuck with the big arrogant jerk. Sango smiled but she knew she was safer with him then Miroku.
"Alright then Miss Rin, you ride with me" said Sesshomaru as he headed toward his Harley.
They took off. It was getting cold as it got darker. The ride was about a half hour. It was already six. They parked in the mall's valet parking and got to the elevator to go to the ground floor of the mall. They decided that the guys would go shop for their stuff while the girls shop for theirs and then later meet at the food court on the fourth floor and have dinner together.
The girls were relieved they didn't have the guys shop with them. They had to pick lingerie and having the boys there would embarrass them. They went off their own ways for the time being. The girls first went off for lingerie shopping then later for some casual and work wear. The guys went looking for clothes then some shades, caps, etc.
The boys were done by 9 so they went to the food court on the 4th floor. Their stomachs began growling outta hunger with all the delicious aroma's of a variety of food available. They waited for about 15 minutes before deciding go search for them. They went to the 3rd floor and went from shop to shop asking around and trying to spot the trio themselves as well. Finally they came to a store called the little black dress. It was full of a variety of cute and cool dresses. They went by looking and finally saw them outside the dressing room. Each of them had tried a dress on and had come out to get each other's opinion on it. The boys were stunned and dumb founded. They just stood there staring at them, admiring the alluring girls. They looked gorgeous. Even the normally inexpressive Sesshomaru was astounded but didn't show much of it. Inuyasha was admiring Kagome, Miroku was thrilled by Sango while Sesshomaru was flattered by Rin.
Rin had worn a cute royal blue chiffon dress with a fine beige leafy print throughout the dress. The dress was a cowl halter neck with a silver belt at high waist and the skirt was flared which ended a little above her knees. It brought out her petite shape and her innocent looks.
Sango wore an amazing white georgette off shoulder dress. It had an A-line pattern from the waist down. It was waistless and body hugging. Its neckline was piped with a bright sky blue and had an elegant dainty pastel blue and green floral pattern towards the end of the skirt. The dress was up to her well toned thighs. It showed off her curved gracefully.
Kagome was in a black satin dress with shaded yellow and orange autumn leaves printed on it. It had spaghetti straps with a fine orange waist band. The skirt of the dress was a six paneled skirt that ended mid-thighs with an inch of black lace attached at the end that dangled down like hangings. The dress defined every curve of her body. She looked so dazzling!
As Kagome spun around, showing off the dress she wore in front of the huge mirror she saw the boys and waved out. Pretending like they just saw her they headed towards them and Inuyasha said "Oh there you are. We have been looking all over the place. So are you getting this dress?"
"I dunno, it's a little outta budget. But what do you think? Does it look good?"
"It looks incredible. You know what, let me get it for you!" said a slightly blushing Inuyasha.
"What? No. I can't let you!" exclaimed Kagome.
"Oh come on! Just think of it as a gift for the start of a new friendship" said Inuyasha. Kagome just looked down at the floor and blushed. "Hmm" was all she could hum.
"Please let me get that for you Miss Sango" said Miroku all of a sudden with a kind smile, not his usual perversity involved in it. Sango just stood there so surprised. She couldn't get a word outta her mouth. "So, I take that as a yes" Miroku stated.
"Yes. Think of that dress as a welcome present from me Miss Rin" said Sesshomaru. Rin was astounded with his change of behavior. The way he reacted towards her at work and the way he was now was completely converse. Without waiting for her to oblige, he turned around to walk towards the billing counter followed by Inuyasha and Miroku. They went and started making payments for the respective dresses.
The girls on the other hand were awestruck. They just looked at each other in utter disbelief and then went into the changing rooms to change back to their clothes. After getting their new branded dresses packed up, they all headed to the food court to get some chow.
