All right, let's see what Inuyasha thinks of modern day Japan! This is going to be interesting!

Chapter 10- Modern Day Madness

Inuyasha was sleeping peacefully, if you could call involuntary twitching every few minutes peaceful. But what can you expect? He lived in a world where he could be attacked at any moment. To be in such a place, full of serenity and solitude was a change for the half demon.

Inuyasha rolled over in his sleep. He wore a peaceful expression on his face. But sadly his serene slumber was about to be interrupted. In 3, 2, 1 RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG!!!

“AHHHHHHHHH! WHAT THE HELL!!!”

Inuyasha shot up like a rocket, both hands locked on tetsaiga, ready to pull it out, should there be any danger. He had been awoken quite suddenly, by a loud ringing noise. But he sensed no danger, only an irksome ringing. He whipped his head around the room, trying to find the source of the irritating noise, when suddenly the ringing stopped. Inuyasha's head snapped to the end table beside the bed. A graceful hand was protruding from under the covers and had pressed a button on a strange device and made it stop. This thing was round with numbers going all the way around. It seemed to be ticking quietly now.

The covers where thrown back to reveal a very rumpled looking Kagome. Inuyasha went over and sat beside her on the bed.

“Good morning, Inuyasha.” Kagome said serenely.

“Kagome, what the hell was that thing?!”

Kagome smiled at Inuyasha's antics. “That, Inuyasha, was an alarm clock.”

“Alarm clock?”

“It's a device that wakes people up from sleeping. I used it to get up on time for school and other important events.”

“Why did you have it go off like that today? You don't have to go to this school place anymore.” Thank god! I always hated it when she left me and went to that stupid place. Inuyasha thought this last part to himself.

Kagome sat up and stretched. She turned and looked at Inuyasha warmly.

“I set the alarm clock, because we are going shopping today.” She answered him happily, with an excited gleam in her eyes.

Inuyasha arched a dark brow. He had only been shopping with Kagome once before, and he had ended up carrying all the bags.There was no way in hell that he was doing that again, not in a million years! She is not getting me to..! Inuyasha had just caught site of Kagome. Her eyes where pleading in the classic puppy dog pout. Her lip stuck out just so, that if Inuyasha were not trying to resist her, he would have thought it was cute. Ah crap! I hate it when she uses that on me!

“Please Inuyasha?” Kagome got right up close to him, her hands clasped out in front of her in a pleading gesture. Inuyasha felt his hard resolve crumble. How could he say no? If he did, he knew that she would be disappointed. And he hated to make her unhappy. Now that he finally had Kagome, there wasn't anything he wouldn't do to keep her with him. Including the dreaded shopping.

“Feh. Fine we will go shopping. But don't think that I'm going to carry all the…” But Inuyasha was cut off with a squeal from Kagome, as she launched herself towards him, wrapping her arms around his neck and hugged him.

“Thank you so much Inuyasha!” Kagome said contentedly.

Despite himself, Inuyasha smiled. His heart swelled. He had made her happy. And that was all that really mattered. He wrapped his arms around Kagome's waist and pulled her petite frame against his broad one, returning the hug. Kagome pulled back from him gently. Then she leaned in close to his ear.

“And I promise I will make it up to you later.” She whispered coyly.

This statement resulted in a very happy Inuyasha who was smirking wolfishly at Kagome's promise.

He leaned in to kiss her, but ended up kissing air, when he realized that Kagome had already left the room, and gone to the bathroom to freshen up. Inuyasha just sighed, and sat back to watch her get ready. His eyes followed Kagome as she ran around the room grabbing various things. Then she rushed back to the bathroom once again, and closed the door with a snap.

Inuyasha tapped his foot impatiently. She had been in their forever! What could she possibly doing that could take so…” The thoughts died away as Kagome appeared before him.

She was dressed in dark washed jeans that fit her every curve. She had on a black form fitting shirt with a daring neckline that showed a little cleavage. The shirt fell to one side, exposing a pale shoulder. Her bangs where curled a little to fill out her forehead. The ends of her hair were curled softly as well. Her dark hair shined with a beautiful, glossy sheen. Her eyes where done up with some charcoal eye shadow. Black eyeliner adorned her eyelids. Her eyelashes where done up with mascara. Her beautiful brown eyes sparkled in the light. A small amount of blush was on her cheeks. There was a light gloss on her lips. Small silver hoop earrings hung from her lobes. On her feet where strappy black sandals.

Inuyasha's mouth opened in a small o. His eyes widened. He had never seen Kagome look so gorgeous! All he could do was stare at her, and try not to drool.

“What do you think Inuyasha?” Kagome asked timidly, afraid of what he would say about her appearance.

Inuyasha dashed over to Kagome and kissed her fiercely. He could taste her glossy lips on his. Strawberry. Mmmm. His hand crept up Kagome's shirt a ways, and he felt her toned stomach. He drug his claws gently across her stomach. He felt Kagome shiver against him. Finally he broke away, and left Kagome slightly out of breath, and very pink in the face.

“Does that answer your question?” He said croakily. His eyes were alive with energy, bright and never wavering from Kagome's chocolate orbs.

Kagome nodded numbly. Just then, Miya's voice floated from downstairs.

“Kagome! Inuyasha! It's breakfast time!”

Inuyasha's eyes brightened at the sound of food. Kagome just smiled and headed downstairs, her half demon in hot pursuit.

Inuyasha ogled at all the food displayed on the table. It looked just as good as lunch had! There was bread, fried eggs, miso soup, rice, cooked fish, and yogurt. Inuyasha sat down and started in on the food, while Kagome was little more graceful in her eating, and ate a slower pace.

“Mom, I was thinking of taking Inuyasha shopping today.” Kagome said, bringing the subject up with her mother.

“That sounds wonderful dear! Take my credit card and buy whatever you need. I know Inuyasha will need some clothes in order to blend in to this time.” Miya said cheerfully.

Kagome was shocked. She did not expect her mother to offer up her credit card for their shopping needs.

“Are you sure mom? Aren't you worried that we could run up the bill?” Kagome asked her mother uncertainly.

Miya just laughed. “I will take care of everything honey. No, don't worry about it dear, I know that you will be responsible. Now you and Inuyasha go and have a good time.” Miya said with a wink.

Kagome blinked rapidly. “O ok then mom, if you're sure.”

Miya nodded confidently, and then tended to the cleanup of the breakfast dishes.

Kagome grabbed her purse and a hat for Inuyasha. She crammed it on his head, much to his protest.

“Sorry Inuyasha. But it's the only way you can go out in public.” Kagome told him.

Inuyasha just crossed his arms in a defiant matter, but didn't press the hat issue any further.

“Bye mom!” Kagome called to her mother as she and Inuyasha headed out the door.

Miya just smiled and waved, before going back to the dishes.

Once outside Kagome was on a mission, she dashed down the steps of the Higurashi shrine and began looking up and down the busy streets. She had a determined look in her eye, and Inuyasha wondered what she was doing.

“Uhhhh Kagome what are you… “AH HAH! There it is!” Kagome said in triumphal, appearing not to have heard Inuyasha at all. She grabbed on to Inuyasha and dragged him across the street towards a long metal looking demon that made ferocious roaring sounds and admitted a foul smelling smoke.

By now Inuyasha was growling at the thing, his upper lip quivering angrily. Kagome began to approach the front of the beast, when suddenly its jaws opened up with a rush off air. Inuyasha jumped, and snatched Kagome toward him protectively.

“Don't go near it Kagome! It's some kind of demon!” Inuyasha growled, his eyes flaring angrily.

But Kagome just turned to him, her face held no trace of terror like Inuyasha had expected. Instead she looked downright amused.

“Inuyasha, this is a bus. It's a way of transportation. This is how we can get across long distances in a short amount of time. I told you, you don't need to worry about any demons here.”

Inuyasha relaxed a little, and then crossed his arms in a pout.

“Hmp, we don't need to take this bus thing. I could have just carried you, and we would get there a lot faster.”

Kagome looked at him skeptically. “And how would that look? A man leaping from roof top to roof top, carrying a girl on his back. People would freak out if they saw that.”

Inuyasha's ears dropped in disappointment. But he had to admit, she was right. The last thing he needed was a bunch of people looking at him. He didn't need any of that unwanted attention. So her grudgingly followed Kagome into the bus, and took a seat next to her. He took a look around, there where all sorts of people on the bus. There were some business men who were deep in conversation, an old woman carrying her groceries, a mother and her two young children, and some girls who looked to be Kagome's age.

Inuyasha's head turned in all different directions, taking in each new scent. The smell of the woman's vegetables she purchased, the businessmen's heavy cologne, the putrid smoke pouring from the exhaust pipe, as well as many other scents mixed together. Inuyasha wrinkled his nose in disgust at the mixture of all the different smells. He was still looking around somewhat anxiously, when he felt a warm hand on his shoulder. He turned and saw that it was Kagome.

“Hey, calm down ok? It's just a bus. I know that this is new for you but you will get used to it.” She rubbed his shoulder soothingly, making Inuyasha forget all about the strange scents. Kagome held his hand, and Inuyasha intertwined his fingers with hers.

After about fifteen minutes on the bus, the contraption started to slow down, and then finally gave a small lurch, before shuttering to a stop.

“This is our stop!” Kagome said cheerfully. She got up from her seat and walked down the aisle and down the steps to the street. Inuyasha followed, glad to be off the bus.

“Ok, here we are in the downtown shopping district! First we need to find you some proper clothes to wear. Harajuku usually sells some trendy clothes.”

Kagome took off towards a large store with large store with bright, trendy clothing wearing mannequins advertised in the window. When they entered the store, an older man greeted them.

“Good afternoon, welcome to Harajuku. How may I help you?” The man asked after bowing slightly to Inuyasha and Kagome. Kagome bowed respectively to the man, while Inuyasha just stood there, completely aloof. Her eyes narrowed at him, before he got the message, and did a hasty bow towards the man.

“Um, yes my boyfriend here needs to be measured for some new clothes.” Kagome told the man politely.

The man scrutinized Inuyasha, before letting out a hearty laugh. “Yes, you are right miss, it would seem that your boyfriend dresses as if he is living in another era.”

“Yes, how funny is that?” Kagome laughed nervously along with the man.

“Could you take his measurements so that he can get some new clothes?” Kagome asked the man.

“But of course. If you would step over here sir, I will take you're measurements.” The man, said addressing Inuyasha.

After an assuring nod from Kagome, Inuyasha stepped hesitantly toward the man.

“Now if you would please spread your arms out to the side sir.” The man said, while whipping out a tape measure. He measured Inuyasha's chest, arms, and sides. Then he moved down and measured the width and length of Inuyasha's legs, earning a slight growl from the half demon, who was uncomfortable at having a stranger so close to him. When he got to Inuyasha's feet, he frowned.

“The boy wears no shoes?” He said, confused.

“Um, yes where he's from… they don't believe in shoes.” Kagome said in a rush, hoping the man would believe her.

The man simply shrugged and continued his measuring. “You learn something new every day I suppose.”

After a few more measurements, the man stood up. After stowing the tape measure in his pocket he turned to face Kagome.

“You're boyfriend takes a size 38 in jeans and a large in shirts. His shoe size is a 9. Is there anything else I can do for you, please ask.”

Kagome smiled. “Thank you very much sir. I appreciate this.” She said gratefully.

The man smiled. “Not at all, it is my pleasure to help. You two have fun now.” And with that the man turned and shuffled towards the back of the store, leaving Inuyasha and Kagome alone.

“Come on Inuyasha, let's get you some clothes.”

Kagome lead him around the store, showing him the different kinds of clothes, and letting him decide what to try on.

Inuyasha scrunched up his face in concentration. He was looking at the racks of jeans. There were so many different types. Dark wash, faded, black, khaki. Finally Inuyasha decided to try on a dark washed, faded, and black pair of jeans. Then he headed over to the shirt section. His mouth fell agape at all the shirts.

Next were the shoes. Inuyasha grabbed a pair of white Adidas with black laces, some red and white checkered Vans, and some Gotcha flip flops.

Last were the shirts. There where shelves and wracks that held all types of shirts imaginable. Long sleeved, short sleeved colored, screen tees, and more! Inuyasha was not sure what to get. After looking for a minute, he grabbed one of each. His arms overloaded with clothing, he tottered along after Kagome towards the men's dressing room.

After shoving Inuyasha into the cramped closet sized room, Kagome sat back and waited for him to emerge. She heard many thumps and a curse or two escaped the half demons lips.

“Inuyasha? Are you ok in there?” Kagome called through the door.

“Kagome, how in the hell do you put these things on?” Inuyasha growled, sounding muffled.

“Hang on Inuyasha; I'll go get the clerk to help you.” Kagome said assuring him, before rushing off to find the clerk.

“Oh don't worry about me! I'll be fine!” Inuyasha ground out sarcastically, but no one heard him.

Less than a minute later Kagome returned with the clerk who had helped them earlier.

“My boyfriend needs some assistance sir. Could you help him?” Kagome asked the man.

“Of course miss.” The clerk answered Kagome. Then he entered the dressing room, and closed the door.

A few bumps and thumps later, and a few growls from Inuyasha, the door finally opened again. There stood a very rumpled looking clerk, and a scowling Inuyasha.

Kagome's eyes widened at the site of Inuyasha, and she felt her cheeks redden. There he stood in dark slightly faded jeans, a red tee shirt that had the Quicksilver logo on it in big scrawling letters; underneath he wore a long sleeved white shirt. The shirt hugged his chest, outstanding his toned muscles. Instead of bare feet, Inuyasha was wearing the white Adidas. His silver hair complemented magnificently with the shirt.

Kagome gasped. He looks so hot in modern clothes! She thought to herself.

Inuyasha stood there, fidgeting nervously. She can't possibly like this stuff! Inuyasha wondered to himself, while looking down skeptically at his new outfit. When he ventured a look at Kagome he was surprised to see her mouth hanging open, and her eyes shining excitedly.

“Ehh, Kagome, you don't actually like this do you?” Inuyasha asked her uncertainly. The words had barley left his lips, when Kagome dashed over to him, wrapping her arms around him.

“I think you look great.” She said happily.

Inuyasha smiled. He had not expected this. She liked the clothes. He sighed and looped an arm around the small of her back.

He looked down at her, his topaz eyes burning into her russet ones. Without saying a word, their eyes portrayed what they both desired. Each other. They continued staring at each other for a minute. Then Kagome spoke.

“We should get the rest of your clothes, and check out.” She said softly, never breaking eye contact with her lover.

“Yea.” Inuyasha agreed his voice raspy.

They paid for the items and then walked out of the store. Feeling bad about making Inuyasha carrying all the bags last time, Kagome attempted to carry the two big bulging shopping bags. They had only gone a few blocks, but Kagome was straining to carry the heavy bags. A puff of air escaped her lips, as she tried to adjust the bags in her grip. A small stream of perspiration was forming on her forehead.

Inuyasha stopped abruptly, and snatched the bags from Kagome's grasp, carrying them easily in one hand as if they weighed nothing. He kept on walking, but was mumbling under his breath as he continued on. Kagome caught what he said, and smiled.

“Feh. Silly girl. Thinks I'd make her carry the bags. What was she thinking?!”

Kagome stood there for a second, when Inuyasha's bark broke her out of her trance.

“Oi Kagome! You coming or what?”

Kagome dashed forward to catch up with Inuyasha, and grabbed his other hand. He felt her hand wrap around his, and a smile tugged at his lips.

After crossing the street and walking a few more blocks, Kagome stopped and turned to Inuyasha.

“Could you wait her a minute? I have to check something.”

Inuyasha looked at her suspiciously.

“I promise I will only be a minute. I'll be right back.” Kagome told Inuyasha reassuringly.

He nodded, reluctant to let her leave his side. She smiled, and then disappeared into a store. True to her word, she emerged a few minutes later, shoving something Inuyasha couldn't quite see into her purse.

“Kagome, where did you go?” Inuyasha asked her.

She made a point of looking at her watch when Inuyasha questioned her.

“Oh look at the time, it's nearly noon already! You must be starving! Let's go get something to eat!” She said hastily. Ignoring Inuyasha's gaze, she started off down the street, mumbling something about a great ramen shop. Inuyasha decided to let the subject drop for now. He would question Kagome about it later.

He followed the girl as she led him down the street to a quaint little Raman shop on the corner. A bell jangled when they entered the café. Elevator music was flowing from an old fashioned juke box in the corner. An elderly couple was enjoying there lunch together.

“What would you like to eat Inuyasha?” Kagome asked him, startling him from his focused gaze.

He glanced at the menu. Bright, colorful pictures dotted the screen, along with descriptions of the scrumptious looking food. In the end Inuyasha decided on some beef flavored ramen and Kagome got the vegetable. They sat at a table to wait for their food.

About twenty minutes later a young looking waitress arrived with the food. She set Kagome's tray haphazardly in front of her. Then she turned her sparkling eyes on Inuyasha.

“Here you go cutie. I fixed it special for you.” She cooed at Inuyasha. He just stared at her blankly, his eyes crinkled in confusion. He did not notice Kagome's eyes staring intently on the waitress as she turned and left. Inuyasha shrugged just assumed the girl was being nice. He dug into his ramen without a care. Slowly, Kagome started to eat too.

After paying for lunch, the two took a stroll down the street. Inuyasha had his arm draped loosely around Kagome's waist as they sauntered along. Inuyasha was busy looking at all of the different sites in the city, but a high pitched giggle caught him off guard.

His head snapped to the left, across the street where a group of girls stood. The same ones that were on the bus in fact. They were looking at him. More like staring. Why where they staring? They all had grins plastered to their faces, and the leader made alluring movements with her eyes towards him. He felt Kagome go rigid beside him.

Inuyasha's eyes widened in shock when he finally realized what they where up to. The waitress too! They were hitting on him! His eyes narrowed at the thought, and he scowled at the girls. Then he tightened his hold on Kagome, pulling her closer to him, holding her protectively. All the while smirking at the group of girls. The leader frowned angrily, flounced her hair and stalked off, her gaggle of girls following close behind.

“Hmp! Stupid women! They can't see that I already have a mate! Trying to hit on me like I'm some kind of whore! And right in front of my mate too! How dare they even think that I would disgrace you like that! It's an insult!”

Inuyasha was still grumbling to himself, when he felt Kagome's soft lips brush his cheek. He fell quite suddenly.

“Thanks Inuyasha.” She said quietly, her cheeks rosy.

“Anytime Kagome.” He replied.

They walked around for a while more, and before they could blink, the sun was beginning to set. Twilight was falling over the city. The streets began to slowly empty as everyone retired to their houses for the night. Lights began to flicker on as the city's night life came out.

Kagome yawned. It had been a long day, and she was tired. Her bed sounded really good right now, so warm, and with Inuyasha… “Kagome!”

Kagome's eyes snapped open. She had dozed off standing up! Inuyasha was peering down at her, his eyes flooded with concern.

“Are you all right?” He asked her worriedly.

“I'm yawn fine, Inuyasha, just tired is all.” Kagome answered him.

Inuyasha huffed. “Well why didn't you say so? If you let me carry you, we could be home in a jiffy, way faster than that bus contraption.”

Kagome shook her head, wobbling slightly from exhaustion. “No, no. We can't do that. Someone might see us, and then what? No, let's just take the bus. It won't be that long.”

Inuyasha fixed her with his signature `don't argue with me' face.

“Listen Kagome, its sundown. Its dark no one will see us. You're tired. Just let me carry you and it will be way faster.”

Kagome hesitated. She was really tired from all of the running around and shopping. And it was dark. The chances of someone seeing them were slim.

Oh what the heck! Kagome thought to herself.

“Ok Inuyasha, you win. I will let you carry me home.” Kagome told the stubborn half demon.

Inuyasha smirked at his victory, and then stooped to let Kagome climb on his back. After adjusting his hold on the bags and securing Kagome, he turned.

“You ready?” He asked.

“As ready as I ever will be.”

Inuyasha took that as a yes, and jetted off into the night. He leapt over rooftops and fences, darting gracefully here and there.

The landscape flew by in Kagome's eyes, and the dip and sway of Inuyasha's delicate movements was making her drowsy. It felt like Kagome had fallen asleep for a mere second, when Inuyasha was shaking her gently.

“Kagome, we're here.”

“Already?” Kagome replied groggily.

Inuyasha smirked. “I told you I was fast.”

He carried her up to her room, where he laid her gracefully down on her bed. Inuyasha left the room for a moment. When he was gone, Kagome peeked an eye open. After making sure that he left, she grabbed her purse and dashed into the bathroom.

Inuyasha returned, only to find an empty bed and no Kagome. Now where could she have snuck off to? Inuyasha thought to himself, although he wasn't truly worried. He could tell from her scent that Kagome was close by. Just then his sensitive ears picked up the squeak of a door opening. Inuyasha turned his head towards the doorway and nearly had a heart attack.

There stood Kagome. His Kagome, in the sexiest lingerie he had ever seen. She was wearing a push up, black lacey braw, silky black panties, along with a black see through slip, with a slit down the front. The attire showed off her incredibly toned and sexy body. Her breasts where bountiful, and her but looked so cute!

She walked over to him, her hips swaying ever so slightly. When she got close enough, she kneeled down until she was right in front of him.

“So what do you think of my new outfit?” She said suggestively.

Inuyasha's response was to push her down on the bed and proceed to kiss every inch of her body.

“Those other girls. They don't do anything for me. Kiss. They bat their eyelashes and wiggle their hips. But they don't interest me at all. I'd much rather ravish you.”

Kagome giggled, and Inuyasha stopped kissing.

“Hey! No laughing!” He told her playfully.

He opened his mouth slightly and dragged his fangs across her stomach, shoulders, and neck, earning a shiver of delight from Kagome.

“Don't think that you can have all the fun.” Kagome told him, gasping.

“Oh and you think you can do better?” Inuyasha asked, challenging her.

Kagome nodded, and then wiggled her way out from under him. She began to massage the tips of his ears ever so slowly. A purr came deep within Inuyasha's chest, and arose in his throat. She took it a little farther by nibbling on the tips. Inuyasha moaned in delight at this.

“Kagome… Kagome. You have to stop, or I won't be able to control myself. And I don't think it's a good idea in your family's home.” Inuyasha said desperately.

Kagome nodded and stopped. Inuyasha grinned down at her, before crushing his lips on hers. He loved the taste of her lips, so sweet and soft. After another twenty minutes, Inuyasha relaxed with Kagome held protectively in his warm embrace. All he could hear was her heartbeat, and the sound of her shallow breathing. It was the most captivating sound in the world to him. Her heartbeat. And to have her so close to him, set Inuyasha's mind at ease. Just when he thought that she had fallen asleep, a whisper reached his ears through the darkness.

“I promised I would make it up to you.”
