I wrote it because I was a bit stuck on how to get something out. I can't decide! So I gave you something to read while I argue with myself.

And yes the boys are alive again. I forgot to put in the fact that Sesshoumaru and MIroku were as alive as you could get. Ah, gomen!

Chapter Seven: Why You Should Hate Malls

Sango came down the stairs, still her pajamas, which consists of a tank top and shorts, rubbing the sleepiness from her eyes. She was rather annoyed at the racket Inuyasha, Miroku, and Souta keep making, playing some dumb game on the Playstation. Sesshoumaru, however, was sitting silently on the couch, indiffrently watching the boys play, or in Inuyasha and Miroku's case, press buttons.

"You're supposed to jump!" Souta scolded Miroku. "You're supposed to jump over the spike, not kick it!"

"Sorry," Miroku said. "Which button's jump again?"

"Wasn't it the green one?" INuyasha asked.

"No, it's the red one," Sout answered patiently. "The green one is kick."

"And the yellow one shoots yellow balls?" Miroku geussed.

"They're ki-blasts, not yellow balls," Souta explained. "I thought I explained it! Mr. Sesshoumaru, don't you remember what I said?"

"Green one is jump, red one is kick, yellow one is ki-blast, the left and right buttons on the top corners are special attacks," Sesshoumaru answered boredly. "And if you press the green one twice, you jump twice as high."

"See! He remembers!" Souta said. "Why can't you?"

"How the hell am I supposed watch the buttons and the screen?" Inuyasha asked irratably.

"What are you guys doing at such an uncivilized hour?" Sango asked, interupting the boys.

"Playing 'videeoh gaims'!" Miroku answered cheerfully. "How do I move again?"

"It's five in the morning!" Sango exclaimed. "How can you play games, now? And Souta, how'd you get here so early?"

"You mean it's five already? I've been here since three!" Souta answered. "Something about an accident, and they sent me here. Luckily for me, Inunoniichan was up to play games with me!"

"Inunoniichan?" Sango asked, raising an eyebrow.

INuyasha mumbled something under his breath, and Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow.

"No need to be so upset!" Miroku said cheerfully, tossing an arm around Inuyasha. "Let's all be happy! Inunoniichan!"

Inuyasha growled and kicked Miroku into a wall. "Shut up!"

Miroku however made a speedy recovery. He walked up to Sango.

"Gorgeous day, isn't it?" Miroku asked, poitning out a window. There was barely any light out. "Ah...and so dark too!"

"Houshi-sama, if your hand goes near my ass again, you'll never see your hand again," Sango growled, when Miroku's hand inched towards Sango's backside.

Miroku took his hand away, laughing nervously.

"YOu guys are weird," Souta stated. "Why would anyone want to touch someone there?"

"...." Inuyasha, Sesshoumaru, and Sango all looked at Miroku. Why does he like to touch women there?

"Hmmm?" Miroku noticed all the attention he was getting. "Did I do something wrong?"

"Apparently," Sesshoumaru answered indiffrently. "Houshi-sama, you're an idiot."

Miroku sighed. "I missed something, didn't I?"

Everyone nodded.

"I'm going back to sleep," Sango stated, walking back up the stairs. "Miroku, if you go within ten feet of the bedroom door, you'll be back haunting that old place."

Miroku laughed nervously.

"You haunted an old house?" Souta asked curiously, tugging on Miroku's dark robes.

~*~

Miroku, Inuyasha, and Sesshoumaru all stared at the pile the girls handed them.

"What the heck did you gave us?" Inuyasha asked, unfolding his pile, and tossing his hat behind him.

"How come he gets that---what was it called again?" Mirou complained/asked, pointing to the fallen hat.

"To cover his damn ears, you idiot!" Sango snapped. "I don't know about you, but I don't want people staring, so change into those damn clothes!"

"And exactly why should we?" Sesshoumaru asked, cokcing an eyebrow.

"We're going out, Sesshoumaru-sama!" Rin answered happily. "It'll be fun! Please, Sesshoumaru-sama?"

Sesshoumaru sighed and nodded, before looking away. He shouldn't have looked at her eyes, damnit, IT WAS THE EYES!!! Yup, a certain pervert and his little brother were going to die...after all he needed to vent his fustrations on someone...

"Don't make me say it," Kagome hissed to Inuyasha. "Just put the damn clothes on, we'll be outside! And DON'T FORGET THE HAT!!!"

"I don't wanna wear the hat!" Inuyasha growled. "It squishes my ears, it's uncomfortable and it HURTS!"

Kagome raised an eyebrow. "DO you want a top hat?"

Inuyasha blinked. "A wha--?"

"Nevermind!" Kagome shouted. "Just wear it!!!!"

"I---"

"OSUWARI!!!!!"

*BAM*

"WEAR THE STUPID THING, OKAY?????" Kagome stormed off the room and slammed the door shut.

Sango winced.

"It could've gone better," Rin stated. "We'll be outside."

~*~

"Miroku! Your shirt is inside out!" Sango exclaimed.

The boys had finished dressing and Kagome had cooled off after 'osuwari'ing Inuyasha six times. As of now, Kagome was trying to get the hat on Inuyasha head, who was trying to get Kagome awa without hurting her. Yes, he'll be meeting the dirt enough as it is...

"Inuyasha!" Kagome exclaimed, who was on the tip of her toes, trying to get the hat on his head. "Hold still before I say it!"

"I dun care!" Inuyasha snarled. "I don't want the damn thing on my head!"

"I know you don't want it!" Kagome shouted. "But you're ears will grab attention, and that's the last thing I want!" Kagome added as an afterthought, "Besides, I may be able to avoid Kouga and Hojo..."

"Who's Hoho?" Inuyasha asked.

"HoJo! Kagome corrected, emphasizing the J.

"Yeah!" Miroku said. "Who's Homo?"

"IT'S HOJO!" Kagome screamed.

"Hobo?" Inuyasha asked.

"ARGH!!!!" Kagome scream, grabbing a pillow from the couch and ripping it apart. "IT'S HOJO!!!!!"

"Ohhh....so it's Hoko?" Inuyasha asked.

"No no no, it's Hofo!" Miroku disagreed.

Rin and Sango were laughing, Sesshoumaru looked highly amused, and Kagome was ripping couch pillows apart.

"IT'S HOJO!!! CAN'T YOU DO ANYTHING RIGHT???"

But the boys ignored her.

"No, it can't be!" Inuyasha protested. "It's Hojo!"

"Finally!" Kagome said tiredly, waving her arms. "I thought you never get it!"

"But you already said it wasn't Hobo!" Inuyasha said.

"ARRRGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"

~*~

After a few dozens 'osuwari's and alot of smacking and slapping, they were finally on their way to the mall. Kagome was silently fuming, and Inuyasha and Miroku were still arguing on how to say Hojo's name. And Sango, Rin, and Sesshoumaru were highly amused.

"Where should we go first?" Sango asked, after they entered the noisy mall, and were in front of a map of the mall.

"How about out?" Inuysha suggested. "This place is too noisy and crowded and smelly..."

"I agree," Sesshoumaru stated.

Miroku gasped and pointed to a red arrow on the map. "How does this thing know where we are? Is it a psychic demon??"

"NOO!!" Sango yelled, smacking Miroku silly. "There are no demons here!"

"The whimpy wolf's a demon," Inuyasha stated.

"Huh?"

"He means Kouga!" Miroku answered. "Kouga's a wolf demon, and he's been around since the Sangoku Jidai! He and Inuyasha are rivals. They're always fighting, but they were never as bad as Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha!"

Sango snorted. "Then why's he in junior high?"

Miroku shrugged. "I know as much as you. I can't fathom how his mind works."

"So, Kouga-san's a demon?" Rin asked. "He seemed normal to me..."

"That might be just what he wants," Sesshoumaru said.

"Yeah sure, he's a demon," Kagome said absently. "Let's just shop."

~*~

The boys found it rather tempting to just run out the door and never come back again. All there was to do was sit there and think of how bored they were while the girls excitedly pick out new clothes and tried them out. What was so great about clothes? I mean, all you do is wear it...

Sesshoumaru however, was more patient and understanding about shopping for clothes than Inuuyasha and Miroku, who decided to count to pass time.

"100,001, 100,002, 100,003..." Inuyasha counted boredly, slumping in a chair. "100,004, 100,005, 100, 006..."

"This is ridiculous!" Miroku whined. "I can't just sit here and count! Sure women want to look great, I can understand that, but this is over doing it!"

"Miroku," Inuyasha said. "I have made a vow long before you were born. And that vow is to never understand how women think and why they do the things they do. It isn't really worth. YOu'll just confuse yourself more."

"You know," Miroku began, "I think I'll listen to you this time. You have a good point."

"Just shut up and start counting again," Sesshoumaru growled irratably.

"Whatever you say, Nii-chan!" Inuyasha sneered.

"Do not call me that," Sesshoumaru hissed.

"Please stop bickering!" Rin said as she passed them with an armfull of clothes. "We'll be going soon!"

"You said that an hour ago!" Inuyasha snapped. "I don't want to sit here to my dying day!"

"Osuwari!" Kagome said calmly, and watched Inuyasha hit the floor, ignoring the stares the little stunt got. "You know as well as I that we're not staying here until our dying day. Just be patient, we have to purchase the clothes we want!"

"About time," Inuyas mumbled, sitting back up and crossing his arm, glaring holes into the tiled ground. Those things were HARD!!

"103,452, 103,453, 103,454...." Miroku counted boredly. He hadn't had a chance to grope any young woman yet!! He needed to get out and...um...give...umm...Sango a visit!!

It's wonder why he isn't dead yet.

The whole ghost thing doesn't count...

If you call them ghosts...

As for the visit, if you know Miroku, you know exactly what he means by 'visiting' her.

Yup, it is something to wonder about, why he hadn't died...

It came to a point where INuyasha didn't consider him human. Humans were easy to kill. Miroku wasn't.

"Well stop complaining!" Kagome snapped. "I would send you somewhere where you would have more fun, but I don't want to leave you three on your own, yet. Tokyo doesn't need to be in ruins yet."

"Oh come on!" Miroku whined. "We won't destroy the place! ....well....I won't....not that I really can..."

"What about that hole?" Inuyasha asked. "That sucks in everything!"

"Eh...I--" Miroku was cut off by Rin.

"You have a hole in your hand?" Sango asked curiously.

"By a bastard named Naraku," Sesshoumaru answered, and for the first time, everyone had noticed he was eating a Hershey's Chocolate Bar.

"WHERE DID YOU GET THAT???" Sango shouted. "You didn't--"

"No," Sesshoumaru answered coolly.

"How'd you get it?" Rin asked. "I thought you were penniless..."

"Found five dollars on the gound," he answered. "Found ten on my way back."

The girls stared blankly at Sesshoumaru. He found fifteen dollars on the floor? What kind of person has that sort of luck? They'd be lucky to find a quarter!!

"Now I'm the only one who is penniless," Inuyasha muttered. Miroku had found a quarter and a few pennies a few hours earlier.

Miroku flipped a penny and it hit Inuyasha square on the forehead. "Now you're not."

Inuyasha growled and punch Miroku's face into the ground.

Yup, Miroku can't be human.

~*~

It had been an interesting day to say the least. Sesshoumaru had a new favorite food--chocolate. They had a small trip to a candy store, and all Sesshoumaru would get was chocolate. He also found five more dollars on the floor, but that's a diffrent story. Inuyasha and Miroku however, got a little bit of everything they could get their hands on. Until Miroku discovered gumballs...

"Don't eat too much," Sango warned. "Those things will eat your teeth!"

"NANI!?!?!?!?" Miroku nearly screamed, and Inuyasha shouted, "What are you feeding us??? Youkai???"

Sesshoumaru stayed silent. He found it hard to beleive a kitkat could eat your teeth.

Sango looked unamused, Rin sighed, and Kagome smack herself on the forehead.

"No those things will not eat your teeth," Rin assured. "What she means is that it's not good for your teeth..."

"Why?" Miroku asked. "How?"

"...." The girls looked at each other. How can they tell them how sugar was bad for their teeth, when they will think they'll youkai eating their teeth? How will they calm them down, then?

"They just are!" Sango answered hurriedly. "Okay? I can't tell you more, cause I don't know...!"

"Do you think it could be youkai?" Inuyasha asked, all panicky.

Miroku stayed calm. "I don't think there's a youkai that would be ables to fit into a human mouth and eat their teeth because they ate 'candee'. Besides, why would they do that?"

Sesshoumaru still stayed silent. He didn't get how something so good like chocolate could rot your teeth.

"But you won't get cavaties if you brush your teeth regularly!" Rin said. "Maybe we should get you a toothbrush and some tooth paste..."

"Yeah, we want them to keep their teeth," Sango murmured. "Maybe demon teeth are stronger than human teeth?"

"Mmmm," Kagome was thinking of Oden. Hey, she was hungry, and she loved oden!

"Ow!" Miroku yelled, as he bit down on a lollipop. Inuyasha bit his in half easily.

"Oh, those are hard candy!" Rin explained. "You're not supposed to bite them, but suck on them."

"Oh," Miroku stuck his lollipop on his mouth. Inuyasha was still chewing the part of his lollipop he bitten off without much effort. "Demon teeth are much stronger than human teeth," Miroku muttered. "And sharper too."

"I don't see what's so hard to bite a lollipop in half!" Inuyasha answered indignantly. "It's not my fault you humans have such weak teeth."

Miroku rolled his eyes. "At least demons can be repelled."

"Really?" Kagome asked interested. "How?" At last! She had found a way to keep Inuyasha out of her room! The events from the earlier in the morning replayed in her mind. Inuyasha had to drag her out of bed, and all for breakfast! Why could Souta toast some bread? "You think that it'll keep Inuyasha out of my room?"

"Sure!" Miroku said cheerfully. When Inuyasha glared at him, Miroku added, "For a fee of course. I am risking my life helping you. I do not want to be dead again."

"You were never dead to begin with!" Inuyasha snarled, and he stormed off ahead, leaving the rest to stare at him in confustion.

"I have a feeling we said something wrong," Rin commented.

"Ditto," Sango said.

"What's his problem?" Kagome muttered.

"WHAT??" Miroku yelled, loosing his calm composture. "INUYASHA!!! YOU MUTT, WHAT YOU MEAN BY THAT???"

"It makes a bit of sense though," Sesshoumaru said thoughtfully. "I mean, you can't just die over night like we did..."

"Well, the whole arrow thing explains why we found Inuyasha in his room sulking when we found ourselves able to go through walls," Miroku said, calming down in 2.5 seconds. "We never seen his body, and they would've burned it at the back yard like they did with ours..."

And Miroku continued to ponder outloud. Each thought gettng more and more rediculous. I mean, goldfish can't fly and certainly do not want world domination!

~*~

The group came back to the shrine to see Inuyasha in a tree chewing on something, probably candy, and Souta running around the shrine, also eating candy.

"Souta!" Kagome gasped. "Where did you get all that candy?"

"Inunoniichan!" Souta answered happily, skipping around Kagome.

"Inuyasha!!" Kagome shrieked. "How can you do this to me??"

Sango sighed in defeat.

"I guess we have to deal with Souta now..." Rin trailed off and watched Souta tug on Sesshoumaru's hair. Sesshoumaru pulled his hair out of Souta's grasp, and started muttering under his breath.

"Souta, don't bug our guest!" Kagome scoleded. "Sesshoumaru, DON'T KILL HIM!!!!"

ANd from his branch on a nearby tree, Inuyasha watched in amusement as the littl egroup below decieded to handle Souta the best way they could--gag and tied him up and lock him into his bedroom.

Tying him up was the problem. He wouldn't hold still, and speed wasn't helping, it actually confused them more.

And so Inuyasha decided, he should feed Souta this 'candee' stuff more.

To Be Continued...

AN: The scene where Inuyasha and Miroku fight over Hojo's name was the best part in my opinion. But that's mine.

As I said earlier, I'm stuck on a part, so this was written. It was fun, and entertaining. Thought I drag the boys to a modern mall. ^_^

FanFiction.Net:

Lil' Chi Chi: What did Sesshoumaru do? That's for me to think up and you to find out! Remember, everything is a possibilty. You thought the Inuyasha-being-unsealed scene funny? I just got bored with that scene. But I really can't see Inuyasha hugging Sesshoumaru...Ah, I forgot to point out that Miroku and Sesshoumaru are alive now. *sweatdrop* I'm so forgetful...

Purple Elf: Nah, the house stays up. For a long while anyways.

FireTiger3, Inu-sama: They're alove. Forgetful me forgot to put it in there.

FluffyLuver4Eva: Yeah, I only saw the first episode of Inuyasha when I went looking through pictures. I saw Sesshoumaru several times, and refered him as a 'she', until I learned he was a boy. -_- Yeah, I like a mom like that. I can bring in total strangers then, not that I really want too... And I like Miroku because he's funny.

drow goddess: Arigatou!

shippohater: ...thanks...? And your name....does that mean you hate Shippou?
