InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Best Friends and More? ❯ The Mall ( Chapter 5 )

Chapter 5 ~ The Mall

 

The next morning, when Kagome woke up, she noticed that Inuyasha was still beside her bed, holding on to her hand. She giggled, which woke Inuyasha up.

 

''Huh? '' asked Inuyasha, groggily.

''Morning, sleepyhead!'' laughed Kagome.

''Oh…morning!'' smiled Inuyasha.

''Inuyasha, you can let go of my hand now.'' Kagome said, blushing.

Inuyasha blushed, letting go of her hand.

 

After when they got dressed and got ready, they went downstairs.

 

''Mmm…pancakes!'' Inuyasha drooled, hungrily.

''Good Morning, you two!'' said Ms. Higurashi.

''Morning!'' answered both of them.

 

They both sat down and started to eat their pancakes. Well, Kagome was eating hers but Inuyasha, as usual, was stuffing his mouth with them.

 

''Inuyasha, you gotta stop doing that, it makes me sick!'' Kagome said, looking at Inuyasha.

''Oh, 'ou goot oosed to ot doodt 'ou!'' asked Inuyasha.

''Uh…what?''

''I said. You got used to it, didn't you?'' repeated Inuyasha, after swallowing his food.

''Yes, but it still makes me sick.'' replied Kagome, knowing it's no use arguing with him.

 

After 5 full plates of pancakes, Inuyasha decided to go home.

 

''I'll come with you! Gotta put your new poster up!''

 

Inuyasha rolled his eyes.

 

>>>>>INUYASHA'S HOUSE>>>>>

 

''You think Sesshomaru's still busy?'' Inuyasha joked, as they went inside.

''Uh…don't think so…its 10, I think they should be done…'' said Kagome, blushing at the thought of what Sesshomaru and Rin could be doing.

Inuyasha stopped in front of Sesshomaru's room and listened, and was reaching out for the door knob when Kagome grabbed his arm and shook her head.

''No, I don't think you should disturb him, alone or companied.'' warned Kagome.

''Aw…fine.'' said Inuyasha, disappointed.

 

They went into Inuyasha's room and Kagome immediately started finding a space for his new poster.

 

''If you get me another poster for my birthday, you'll have to stick it on the ceiling!'' commented Inuyasha, looking around, at his poster filled room.

''I know.'' said Kagome, taping up the poster.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes. ''Why are you always so organized Kagome?''

''Cause…'' said Kagome, throwing a pillow at him.

''Hey!!!'' shouted Inuyasha, throwing a pillow back at her.

They kept throwing pillows at each other, making their way out to the hallway, laughing their heads off.

 

Suddenly, Sesshomaru's door opened, and out came Sesshomaru with only his boxers on.

 

''Do you mind?'' asked Sesshomaru, glaring at Inuyasha.

''Good morning Sesshomaru! Had fun last night?'' smirked Inuyasha.

''Mind your own business!'' answered Sesshomaru as a light shade of pink came across his face. ''Just keep it down guys okay?''

''Why?'' Inuyasha asked innocently, still grinning.

''Cause, Rin is still sleeping…you stupid bum.'' hissed Sesshomaru. And with that, he went back inside, closing the door behind him.

''So he did have fun last night.'' said Inuyasha, with a bigger grin on his face.

Kagome threw another pillow at him, shaking her head. ''Oh, Inuyasha…''

 

They spent the rest of the morning talking and listening to music. Around 10:45, they heard someone coming out of Sesshomaru's room. Inuyasha, being the nosy one, decided to check it out.

 

''Hey Sesshomaru!!! Is Rin up yet?'' asked Inuyasha, following Sesshomaru into the kitchen.

Sesshomaru ignored him and poured himself a glass of water.

''Don't pretend you didn't hear me, brother.'' Inuyasha said, standing in front of Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru ignored him again and walked over to the sink.

''Fine, ignore me…I'll just go find Rin myself.'' Inuyasha stuck out his tongue at him.

Sesshomaru was about to stop Inuyasha when Rin came out of the room, with Sesshomaru's favourite t-shirt on.

 

Sesshomaru glanced at Inuyasha. Inuyasha stared back and gave an evil smile at him.

 

''Oh no…'' thought Sesshomaru.

 

''Hello Rin! What are you doing here so early? And why are you wearing Sesshomaru's shirt? I don't think I heard anybody come in this morning. Did you stay over?'' Inuyasha asked, pretending that he doesn't know what happened.

Rin blushed in response and looked over at Sesshomaru.

''Leave her alone, Inuyasha. You know exactly what happened. Besides, where were you last night?'' Sesshomaru asked Inuyasha.

''No where.'' Inuyasha smiled innocently.

''Maybe I should get going now, Fluffy…'' Rin said timidly, still blushing.

Inuyasha's eyes widen when he heard Rin calling Sesshomaru ''Fluffy'' and the fact that Sesshomaru didn't stop her.

''No, don't…'' Sesshomaru stopped mid sentence, and then remembered Inuyasha was there. He then gave Inuyasha a dirty look then walked over to Rin, holding her hand.

''Don't leave me…'' whispered Sesshomaru, thinking Inuyasha can't hear him.

 

But of course, being a half-demon, Inuyasha heard it clearly. Inuyasha could also tell that Sesshomaru is serious with Rin. He also noticed there was a change in Sesshomaru. The way Sesshomaru was looking at Rin was different. The way he spoke to her was different too. Inuyasha may be annoying, but he ain't stupid…(okay, he is, but not this time). So Inuyasha decided to leave them alone.

''Anyways, it's getting a bit too mushy here so I'll just go now…'' Inuyasha left them and went back to his room.

 

Around 3:00, Kagome and Inuyasha decided to go to the mall since it was getting boring. They said good-bye to Sesshomaru and Rin (She decided to stay after what Sesshomaru said to her) and were out in the cold streets heading for the mall.

 

>>>>>AT THE MALL>>>>>

 

''Kagome…'' whined Inuyasha.

 

They had been there for about 2 hours and Kagome had already rushed though almost all the stores there and brought most of the stuff in each. And of course, being the gentlemen (cough), Inuyasha had offered to help Kagome carry her bags.

 

''What is it?'' Kagome asked, hands playing with her new bracelets while her eyes is trying to look into all the stores to see if there's anything interesting.

 

''Kagoooomeeeeeeee…'' Inuyasha whined again.

 

Kagome stopped and looked at Inuyasha, for the first time since they've been there because she was too busy looking inside the stores. She tried to hold back a laugh, as she studied the hanyou before her.

 

Inuyasha was holding about 20 bags, 10 each side. His hair was messy (probably from scratching them while waiting for Kagome), clothes were twisted and turn (probably from Kagome tugging him and pulling him from store to store) and he had the most bored yet cute expression on, mostly because he was pouting and had big puppy eyes staring at Kagome.

 

''Kagome, can we go now? I don't want to stay here anymore.'' Inuyasha whined in a kid voice, almost like Souta's.

 

Kagome wasn't done her shopping yet, so she tried to think of something to hold Inuyasha's attention. ''Um…uh…'' Kagome looked around her, using her well trained eye from window shopping. ''OH…how about we take a break in the food court?''

 

Inuyasha's bored expression quickly turned into a happy one. ''Did you say…food?''

 

Kagome nodded. ''Yup. FOOD.''

 

Inuyasha looked at the bags he was carrying, and squinted his eyes to the food court.

''Fine.'' And he ran to the food court like Kagome would to any clothing store.

 

>>>>>FOOD COURT>>>>>

 

As soon as Inuyasha sat down and got rid of the bags he was holding, he quickly started chanting and hitting the table, making a scene in the middle of the food court.

''I WANT FOOD! I WANT FOOD! I WANT FOOD! I WANT FOOD! I WANT FOOD!''

 

Kagome rushed to the nearest line and started to order as many food as her wallet can afford, half of it anyways, saving the other half for her shopping. She quickly got the food and rushed back to Inuyasha. The tray of food barely reached the table, when Inuyasha grabbed everything in his sight and started to gobble up the delicious items.

 

'Well, at least he's happy.' thought Kagome, as she counted the money left in her wallet. 'After all, I can always come back again next week…' She added as an after thought, with an evil grin on her face.

 

After about 10 minutes, the food in front of her disappeared and only a very full and happy Inuyasha sat across from her.

 

''That was so good.'' Inuyasha said, followed by a burp.

 

''Glad you enjoyed it. Now can we go back to shopping?'' Kagome asked, hoping he would say yes.

 

''Yup, I've got energy now!''

 

Kagome cheered and quickly stood up, already pulling Inuyasha with her, when she spotted Miroku at the end of the food court.

''Hey look, it's Miroku! Look like he's waiting for someone.''

 

''Wonder who?'' Inuyasha asked curiously.

 

''Come on, let's find out.''

 

They made their way over to the perverted teen, Inuyasha having trouble squeezing through the tables and people in his way with Kagome's bags.

''Hey Miroku!'' Kagome greeted.

 

''Hey, pretty!'' Miroku immediately stood up, hand ready in his position.

 

Inuyasha stepped in between them and coughed.

 

''Oh, hey Inuyasha.'' Miroku added, while backing away from Inuyasha, who was giving him a 'touch-her-and-die' look.

 

''So, why are you here alone?'' Kagome asked, ignoring Inuyasha.

 

''I'm waiting for my date.'' Miroku answered with a smile.

 

''I see…who's the unlucky girl?'' Inuyasha asked sympathetically.

 

Miroku glared at him. ''Ha ha, very funny.'' He turned to Kagome and was about to answer when his date interrupted them.

 

''Hey Kagome, Inuyasha!''

 

Kagome's mouth opened slightly and she smiled in surprise when a girl ran towards them. ''Sango?! YOU'RE his date?!''

 

Red started to seep into Sango's cheeks and she turned to Miroku. ''You told them? Miroku! I told you not to tell anyone yet!''

 

''It's okay Sango, they're gonna find out anyways. Sooner or later.'' Miroku said, paying close attention to Sango's hand, incase she slaps him. And of course, also her butt.

 

''Yeah Sango, we're gonna know anyways. And why wouldn't you want me to know? This is so cute! When did you guys start?'' Kagome asked, getting excited.

 

Sango blushed. ''It was after the party. Miroku…he um…''

 

''After the party? Oh, keep going!''

 

Sango didn't go on, as she continued to stare behind Kagome. Kagome turned around and saw Kikyo walking towards them.

 

''Kikyo…what a surprise to see you here.'' Miroku commented.

 

''This is a mall…I'm always here.'' Kikyo replied coldly back. She ignored Miroku and turned to Inuyasha, putting on her well practiced innocent smile. ''Hey, Shasha, I was just wondering, how bout you and I go on a date next weekend?''

 

'Shasha? What kind of nickname is that?' Kagome thought, eyeing Kikyo.

 

''Uh…next…next weekend?'' Stumbled Inuyasha, still very uncomfortable of Kikyo being this close to him, after what happened at the party.

 

''Yup. You two can come along too, if you want.'' Kikyo said, carelessly, glancing over at Sango and Miroku.

 

''What about Kagome?'' Inuyasha asked.

 

''What about her?'' Kikyo asked, giving Kagome a stare. ''I guess she can go with Kouga. He did tell me that he has interest in her.'' She added.

 

''So how about it?'' Kikyo went on, looking around at the four friends. No one answered, so Kikyo took it as a yes. ''Good, so I'll get the tickets and we'll meet at the theater next Sunday at 2:00, M'kay?'' And with that, she walked away.

 

''…'' All four of them just stood there, not sure what just happened. Kikyo just came and went too fast.

 

''We didn't agree to go; she just made up the decision by herself.'' Kagome finally said.

 

''Well…there's no harm going.'' Miroku started, until Sango gave him a look. ''What? We're all going to have fun! We get to see a movie, not to mention it's free since Kikyo is paying, and we get to hang around Kikyo!''

 

Miroku paused and then changed his mind. ''Okay, fine. Hanging around Kikyo isn't all that great, but still. We're going to have fun and we get to see a free movie.''

 

Sango sighed. ''Well, I guess there's no harm going then.''

 

Kagome looked over at Inuyasha. ''So, you going?''

 

''Sure, why not.'' Come Inuyasha's replied. ''But I'm not going because of Kikyo, just for the free movie.''

 

Kagome smiled. ''Well, I guess I'll go too. Kouga isn't really that bad, he's kind of sweet.'' She gave a quick glance at Inuyasha and saw his jealous expression. She smiled to herself.

 

''Okay, guess we're all going then.'' Miroku said, looking at his watch. ''Well, let's go Sango, we still have to finish our date.''

 

''Bye then you guys, have fun!'' Kagome said, as she gave Sango a push towards Miroku.

 

Sango looked back to waved and walked beside Miroku, closer than she usually would have.

 

''Aw…they look so cute!'' Kagome commented. She turned around to catch Inuyasha rolling his eyes. She knew he didn't really mean it though, since she can see his lips curled into a tiny smile.

 

Kagome laughed. ''Come on, let's go. We've got more shopping to do!''

 

Inuyasha groaned. ''Aw man! I thought you had enough!''

 

Kagome ignored him, smiling to herself, as she hurriedly rushed to the nearest store and started picking up accessories, with Inuyasha following behind her.
