Chapter 5: A Trip to the Mall

 

 

 

Finally, the day was taking a turn for the better. Leaning back on his seat, Kouga clasped his hands behind his neck and decided to enjoy the show as much as he could. It wasn't as good as the showers, which he knew he would be enjoying in less than an hour, but it was still a nice scene. Chick fight! Damn! Who wouldn't want to see this?!

 

He was having a good time, all right. His only problem was that he did not know where to look. He had never seen so many girls fighting before. Each time a leg was thrown in the air, a lovely bottom would become more pronounced under the tight workout pants that they wore. He grinned in bliss and settled comfortably into his seat.

 

“My, my, look at that beauty,” he heard someone say behind him. “Buddha must have heard my prayers. What a beautiful scene to bless my poor eyes with on such an ordinary day!”

 

Kouga snickered in amusement at the guy's voice. Yep, buddy. It sure is a blessing. Apparently, he wasn't the only lucky soul in the stands.

 

His ears caught the voice of his hanyou friend, and he looked at the direction it came from. He cursed inwardly, seeing Inuyasha practicing against Kagome. Lucky bastard. Suddenly, the half-demon had the girl trapped under him, and Kouga jumped to his feet with his mouth hanging open. The wolf blinked, and the dog was lying under the girl in a compromising position. Damn that asshole! Why is he always getting to be the one that has the most fun?!

 

He started growling in irritation, but he stopped immediately at the feel of something on his… ass? What the…?! He looked down, and there was a hand squeezing his bottom. His wide eyes trailed up to the owner of the offending object. He saw a teenaged boy with short, dark-hair and violet eyes smiling pleasantly at him.

 

“Please call me Miroku, my lady,” said the voice Kouga heard a few minutes ago. “It's such a pleasure to meet y-…” Miroku was cut short as the wolf demon finally managed to gather his bearings and threw a punch at the boy's face.

 

A loud crash and a painful `ouch' resounded as Kouga stomped off to the locker rooms. However, the wolf demon was too shocked to see or hear anything. All he could think was…

 

I was groped… by a guy?!

After he had finally had his shower, Inuyasha found his way back to his dorm room and that delectable scent known as Kagome. He had been annoyed by the scents Kouga had been giving off all day whenever he was near his miko. The half-demon wasn't going to stand for that. So, he gave up his chance to shower with the girl of his dreams in favor of keeping the wolf demon locked in a janitor's closet while the girls showered. He didn't pay any mind to Kouga's surly attitude while the two friends showered alone once the girls had vacated the site. He smirked as he recalled how wolf-shit had pointedly ignored him or avoided looking at him in the locker room. Fucking bastard! If Inuyasha had any say in it, neither that horny demon, nor any other guy was going to see his girl naked. Keh! Take that, assholes!

 

He was surprised to see his roommate checking her purse as she finished up a phone call. “Yeah, Sango. I'll meet you there soon,” the miko replied as she flipped her cell phone shut. His roommate quickly turned around and gave the hanyou girl one of her most brilliant smiles. “Hey, Shaya! Want to head out with Sango and me?” asked Kagome as she put her cell phone back into her purse.

 

Shaya blinked and shifted from one leg to another. “Oh, I uh…I uh have no money,” said the hanyou girl awkwardly as she eyed the ground. My damn brother took my car keys, and my credit cards no longer work.

 

Kagome looked down at her roommate with a note of worry on her face. “Oh, Shaya, I'm sorry. Don't worry. I'll spot you! I'll even buy you some ice cream. Come on, girl!” Kagome's arms quickly wrapped themselves around Shaya's as the miko led the half-demon out of the room.

 

“But, but…where are we going?” asked Shaya.

 

“We're going to hang out at the mall,” answered the brown-eyed girl with a smile.

 

Inuyasha considered it. Hanging out at the mall meant playing video games, checking out the latest electronics and getting something to eat. That actually sounded like fun and he could do that with the beautiful miko he had a crush on! It was almost like they were on a date! His cheeks dusted with color as he looked down at their joined arms and where their hips swished next to each other as they walked. Shaya held her head high; she could get used to this!

 

They made their way to the subway station near the school and exited at Roppongi station in downtown Tokyo. Shaya glanced up at the tall skyscrapers that loomed above her and smiled as she looked down at Kagome, who linked arms with her.

 

“Right over here!” Kagome called out, nearly squealing. Inuyasha grimaced and he nearly broke away from the girl because of her high pitched voice was grating on his sensitive hearing. She was pointing to the entrance of one of the most famous shopping malls in Tokyo—Roppongi Hills. Inuyasha didn't like shopping, but it was home to some of the best video and electronics stores in Japan. He was about to head inside to try to find his favorite Pachinko venue when Kagome led him to an ice cream shop. “I told you that I would buy you ice cream!” She giggled as they walked into the shop and perused the selections.

 

Shaya grimaced. He really didn't want a girl paying for him; it went against his instincts. But, he didn't have a single `yen' on him. He looked over at his gorgeous roommate wistfully as she tried to decide what to get.

 

“Do you think I should get melon or sweet potato ice cream?” she asked. Inuyasha tried not to make a face, but failed miserably. “What?!” she asked while turning a bemused smile in his direction.

 

“How about something normal, like vanilla?” Shaya asked while crossing her arms.

 

“No, everybody gets vanilla. I want something different. What about tofu flavor?” Shaya grimaced at her suggestion. “Green tea?”

 

“You've got to be kidding me,” he panned as he looked over the flavors and tried to find something that appealed to him. “I'll just get a vanilla cone.”

 

Kagome rolled her eyes, “You have no sense of adventure.” She walked up to the front counter and ordered a green tea and a vanilla ice cream cone.

 

“Thanks,” added Shaya as `she' blushed. Kagome was buying her an ice cream cone. He made a promise to himself that when this was over he would be taking her out and paying for everything. It was so embarrassing to have a girl pay for him—especially a pretty girl that he hoped to impress… But it's not like she knows I'm a guy…

 

Shaya looked at the teenage boy behind the counter, who had a silly half-smile on his face. The hanyou found that the man was looking at her funny. The clerk's cheeks were tinged pink, and he was looking at Shaya in a really odd way. The kid was obviously embarrassed or something Inuyasha thought as he crossed his arms again, which had the usual effect of pushing up his breasts.

 

Inuyasha was rather oblivious to the way his ample breasts and darkened nipples were visible through the thin fabric of his white blouse. The young boy's eyes widened and his mouth gaped open. The youth couldn't seem to keep his eyes off of Shaya as he went about his work getting them ice cream cones. This is getting really annoying. What?! Do I have—a stain on my shirt?

 

Shaya turned to look down at her blouse and couldn't find anything amiss. She shrugged in puzzlement before she walked up to Kagome who was at the cash register.

 

“What do you mean free?” asked Kagome while looking at a teenage boy who must have recently entered the store.

 

The tall, handsome boy grinned at the two girls and his gaze seemed to stop and linger on Shaya. The teenager had short black hair and determined, yet vacant brown eyes. He was dressed in a traditional kendo kimono and had a bokken strapped to his side. “I cannot help but to buy ice-cream for ladies as lovely as yourselves,” said the young man. The boy stood high and proud as he produced a 5,000 Yen note with a flourish and handed it to the clerk behind the counter.

 

Goddamned showoff! Shaya only snorted and frowned. “We don't need your money, do we Kagome?” countered the beautiful platinum blonde.

 

“But, but...it's a nice gesture for him to buy us ice cream, and I have to work hard for every yen that I have,” answered Kagome in a hushed whisper.

 

“Oh,” replied the lovely hanyou as she stood back and allowed the strange boy to take care of the transaction. The clerk handed both of them an ice cream cone and Inuyasha was surprised to find a ripped up sheet of paper wrapped around his cone.

 

“Allow me to introduce myself,” said the proud teenager. The boy promptly bowed to Kagome and Shaya. “I am Tatewaki, Kuno.”

 

Shaya only rolled her eyes at the boy. The fucker better not make any moves on Kagome while I'm around.

 

“I would be so honored if you would allow me to sit down with you, `silver-haired girl',” proffered the boy as he reached for Shaya's hands.

 

“What? Get the fuck away from me!” yelled Shaya as she forcibly pulled her hands away from Kuno as if he were made of acid. However, the boy didn't seem to get the hint and made another attempt to wrest her hands into his.

 

“I said don't touch me!” shouted Shaya as her hanyou powered fist made contact with Kuno's jaw. The curvaceous beauty could only look down in disgust as she stepped over the unconscious boy and motioned for Kagome to follow her. Goddamn pervert!

 

The hanyou girl stomped away from the scene with the ice cream still held in her other hand. The cone nearly broke from the pressure as she squeezed it in anger. It wasn't until the two roommates were well away from the scene that Shaya stopped to look at the torn paper that was wrapped around the ice cream cone. “What the hell is this?” the hanyou girl stammered.

 

Kagome looked at Shaya curiously and helped to unfold the piece of paper. It read, “I'd love to take you out on a date. Call me. Dai. 12 34 5678 9012.”

 

“Oh, the clerk at the store likes you, too,” Kagome murmured with glee as she patted Shaya on the back. “See, I told you that you were pretty.”

 

Shaya sputtered and grimaced in abject horror when she figured out what had transpired. He wants to take me out? I'm a fucking guy! Doesn't he know any better? Shaya looked down at her buxom chest and long, shapely legs as a harsh realization overcame her. Shit, no he doesn't! Inuyasha suddenly found that he wasn't hungry for ice cream.

 

He dumped the ice cream and ripped up the phone number violently before throwing it in the nearest trashcan. He huffed before joining his roommate. Fucking twerps. Picking up on me. Sick! The girl's ample breasts jiggled and swayed as she moved, catching the eye of practically any man in the vicinity. Inuyasha never noticed the rapt attention he had garnered from the males that he had walked past.

 

Kagome made her way to the outside area near a large water fountain and sat down. She patted the concrete space next to her for Shaya to sit. Large, modern art sculptures that looked like towering robots stared down at them. The hanyou cocked her head to the side as she looked at the bizarre mannequins that lined the walkway outside of the center.

 

“Sango should meet up with us soon,” murmured Kagome as she licked her ice cream cone.

 

Inuyasha nodded wordlessly in agreement, but found himself stopping short because of the vision next to him. Kagome's dainty pink tongue was slowly lapping around the ice cream, licking in concentric circles. He froze as images of her tongue licking another part of his stiff anatomy came to play in his head.

 

His eyes widened as she murmured her appreciation and gracefully licked around the base of the cone. Then, her tongue licked upwards, taking a long swipe against the delectable treat. He could only look on in envy—wishing that his fantasy from the P.E. bathroom would actually play itself out.

 

“Kagome! Shaya!” yelled out a girl, breaking him from his daydream.

 

“Hi Sango!” Kagome called back. “Are you ready?”

 

“Ready as I'll ever be!” responded Sango as she smiled broadly.

 

“Huh?” said a perplexed Shaya.

 

“It's time to go shopping!” cried out Sango as she high-fived Kagome.

 

Kagome grinned. “Yes, we need to find the perfect bikini before the school trip to the hot springs.”

 

Shaya's eyes widened like saucers. “Bikini? Hot Springs?” murmured Shaya in disbelief. This is what we are here for?

 

Kagome grabbed Shaya's arms and laced her arm with her. Sango joined in and they were a matching trio of interlaced arms. “Don't you know, Shaya? We're going on a field trip to the Hakone Hot Springs in two weeks. We have to be ready!”

 

“R-r-ready?” Shaya stammered. His eyes zoomed in on the clothing store that loomed ahead. Through the glass he could see a spectacle of bikini-clad mannequins.

 

Kagome and Sango sashayed ahead of him looking completely at ease in a store that sold women's lacey undergarments and swimsuits. He tried not to look at the dummies on display near the store's walkways. He decided to look at his feet as he shuffled forward. However, he really should have been looking where he was going. He quickly bumped right into a mannequin with dim eyes, plastic black hair, outstretched arms, and a see-through black negligee. Shaya stepped back in obvious embarrassment as the display's hair jostled and fell off. The female dummy now looked very peculiar with a baldhead and a transparent negligee. Shaya snorted and then actually looked at Kagome and Sango, who were already perusing the racks of tiny bikinis.

 

Kagome was holding up two different bikinis, but he really couldn't make out what they were besides the colors. It all looked like just a bunch of strings to him. She was holding up something red and something turquoise.

 

“Hey, Shaya,” called Kagome. “Which one do you think will look better one me?” The miko held the tiny garment next to her bosom and seemed to be contemplating how it would look.

 

Shaya just stood there dumbfounded. For the life of him, he could not imagine the stringy sensation on Kagome's form. There just wasn't enough of the garment for his imagination to process. Not that it's a bad thing…

 

“Uh, I don't know,” answered Shaya truthfully. “You can't tell when you look at those things. I mean, they just look like a bunch of string.”

 

Kagome laughed at Shaya's comment and grabbed her arm to pull her toward the dressing rooms. “Then, you'll have to tell me how I look in them!”

 

Shaya only sputtered as the shorter girl pulled her toward an area that said `Women Only.'

 

Kagome opened the door to her dressing room and let Shaya stand outside while she fiddled with taking off her skirt and blouse.

 

Shaya stood on the other side of the door and heard the rustling of fabric as Kagome undressed. Suddenly, Inuyasha's mind couldn't help but to imagine a very naked Kagome standing just a few feet away from him. He had already seen her in all of her nude glory a few times before, so it wasn't hard to imagine her long slender legs, her curving hips or her perky breasts bouncing as she moved.

 

Abruptly, Kagome's dressing room door flew open, and she walked out with a tiny, scarlet red string bikini on. His eyes widened in appreciation as he drank in the sight of a nearly nude Kagome, with only a small red patch of cloth covering the junction of her thighs. He looked up to see similar red patches covering the pink-brown areolas that he had gazed on before. The ivory curves of her breasts were on complete display, and it didn't take much of an imagination to see how she would have looked with nothing on.

 

Inuyasha gulped and finally noticed that the girl before him was tugging on the ends of her bikini bra strings and trying to say something to him.

 

“Can you just tie this? I can't reach behind my back,” said the girl as she turned with her back facing him. The strings were held together in her fists.

 

“Ohhh, O-Kay,” said Shaya with trembling fingers as he grasped the strings and tried to tie a bow. It was very difficult however, because as his fingers tried to work they would invariably touch Kagome's soft skin. It was the very skin that he wanted to caress, stroke, kiss, and… Fuck! Not helping!

 

It took a little longer than it should have for him to tie two sets of strings together. He looked longingly at the thin straps that fell across her back and was startled when the girl turned to face him.

 

Kagome's mocha eyes fixated on him with a questioningly look.

 

“What do you think?” she asked as she spun around.

 

Inuyasha couldn't help but notice that her round, full breasts swayed with her spin. Each time she moved, another portion of the creamy skin of her breasts was revealed from underneath the cloth patches that barely covered her bosom.

 

Fucking fantastic. Oh fuck! No one else should see her like this! “Ummm, Kagome. Shouldn't you find something that covers more of you?” questioned Shaya. She tried to not let her gaze linger too long on Kagome's form.

 

Kagome fingered the slender strings that barely held the top in place. “Do…do you think I need to cover up my body because I don't look good? Is it my butt again? Do I look fat?” asked Kagome in a worried tone.

 

“No, no!” answered Shaya in a panic. “It's just that I was raised to…ahem…cover myself up. Especially on a beach!” Kagome looked up at the hanyou girl with a confused look in her eyes, so Shaya attempted to explain, “Where there could be…men…looking.” No other guy should see you looking like this!

 

The miko's eyes widened briefly before she started to giggle. “Oh, are you old fashioned, Shaya?” questioned Kagome.

 

Shaya decided not to meet Kagome's eyes for fear of revealing too much in her own expression. The hanyou girl quickly nodded.

 

“Oh,” murmured Kagome. The hanyou felt rather than saw Kagome pulling closer to his body with that maddeningly small outfit barely covering her touchable skin. He stifled a gasp as he felt her warm body press up against his and her arm joined his at the elbow. “Come on, girl!” yelled Kagome with glee. “Let's get you a bikini, too! You'd look gorgeous with one on. The guys would be staring at you all day!”

 

They already do! I couldn't handle a beach, dammit! “What! No!” sputtered Shaya as she dug in her heels and brought the two of them to a screeching halt within the dressing rooms. “There's no…no way that I would wear a b-bikini.” Shaya's head darted left and then right as a crimson stain grew across her features.

 

Kagome pulled back and Shaya frowned as her warmth and touch receded. “I'm so sorry, girl. You really are old fashioned,” Kagome said. The ebony-haired miko, who was scantily clad, bowed deeply in front of Shaya. “Please accept my humblest apologies. I meant you no discomfort.”

 

Inuyasha took another sharp intake of breath as he saw Kagome's nearly naked form submitting so beautifully before him in a subservient bow. He tried not to react and clenched his fists for good measure. “No…no need,” answered Shaya as she loosened her clenched fists and tried to wave them in the air.

 

His roommate looked up and beamed the most beautiful smile at him. “Ah, well, it's not like we will really be needing these bathing suits anyway,” murmured the girl as she returned to the dressing room stall. Inuyasha's sensitive ears flicked toward the door as he heard the soft swish of fabric as his girl undressed again.

 

Shaya's eyes widened momentarily at the new information. “What do you mean? We don't need bathing suits?”

 

The rustling of the fabric inside of the dressing room stall stopped abruptly and he heard a giggle from Kagome. “Oh, Shaya, you know…,” said the girl as she resumed dressing. “In the hot springs you bathe in the nude! We only need these bikini's if we want to swim in Lake Ashi.”

 

Inuyasha stood motionless outside of Kagome's door. “Naked?” he queried.

 

Kagome giggled again. “Oh, there is no need for you to be modest, Shaya. It will just be us girls. They don't let the men and women bathe together.”

 

Inuyasha huffed and crossed his arms again in front of himself. “Damn straight!” he acceded before his arms dropped to his sides and he imagined the possibilities. I'll be bathing naked next to Kagome! Suddenly he was imagining her wet, naked skin next to his equally nude body—with her breasts bobbing in the steaming water—and, his hands sliding against her curvy form… “Sounds like a good idea,” Shaya managed to sputter out.

 

“Yeah,” agreed Kagome noncommittally. “Though, I really wouldn't mind seeing something other than my girlfriends…” Kagome sighed. “It's horrible being in an all girls school. All I see all day are girls. All I get to talk to all day are girls. You know I just need a break from all of the estrogen…”

 

“I understand,” murmured Inuyasha as he looked down at his delicate hands. Even his deadly claws looked incredibly cute, lacquered with pink fingernail polish. I'm so fucking tired of being a damned girl. Sesshoumaru, you will pay!

 

Kagome seemed to murmur in agreement as she finished dressing and soon appeared outside of the changing stall with her school uniform back on again. “I think I'll buy the red one,” Kagome chirped. Afterwards, the girl turned to evaluate Sango's choice of bikini before both girls bought their purchases and finally managed to exit the lingerie store—much to the hanyou's relief.

 

Inuyasha had to reel the two girls in when they suddenly decided that one garment store was not enough and had managed to invade yet another apparel store. He quickly led them on a detour to the arcade in the mall. Luckily for him, Sango got a call from Miroku and had left to see the boy that she furiously said, `was not her boyfriend.'

 

Soon Inuyasha had Kagome battling him out on `Dance Dance Revolution.' Finally, Inuyasha was having some fun with Kagome. His competitive nature had him watching his feet and the dancing lights that showed him where he needed to step next. However, it only took one quick look at Kagome's sweat glistened skin, her heaving bosom, her rocking hips and her oh-too-short miniskirt for him to get distracted. Kagome was too caught up with her efforts to notice that Shaya was staring at her and had given up on her dance moves.

 

However, it didn't take long for Shaya to realize that she wasn't the only one staring.

 

“Hey girlie, keep moving those hips of yours!” yelled out some snot-nosed punk from a recently collected audience around the two DDR booths.

 

Shaya's face instantly turned crimson when she realized that both she and Kagome had become the center of attention for a group of teenage boys. Oh No! Even worse! Shaya was able to scent an irksome smell of arousal coming off of some of those fucking boys!

 

Shaya turned around and clenched her fists next to her long, athletic legs. “What in the fuck did you say, asshole?!” exclaimed a very angry, yet maddenly beautiful, silver haired hanyou.

 

“Um, sweetheart! We just wanted to see you move, girlie!” called out a youth with long black hair that was tied up in a braid.

 

Shaya managed to jump out of the DDR booth, which had the unwanted effect of exposing Shaya's bow-tied, cotton panties to every boy who had been watching. Inuyasha, however, was oblivious to the peep show he had just created or the way his bosom bounced invitingly as he jumped. “I'm no one's sweetheart!” bellowed Shaya through gritted teeth as she managed to pull the young boy wearing a high school uniform up by his collar.

 

The boy's brown eyes widened as Shaya's fuming face and narrowed golden orbs looked on the youth with vengeance.

 

“Wow, girlie, you are so hot when you're angry!”

 

Shaya nearly dropped the boy and started sputtering in horror. The uniformed young man only took this as an invitation to grab Shaya's ass with both hands.

 

The screech that could be heard from Shaya's lips was an interesting combination of a girl's wail and a maddening scream of a rabid dog.

 

“What the fuck do you think you just did!?” roared Shaya. Her eyes started to bleed red and purple stripes started to appear on either side of her cheeks. The furious hanyou then leaped on the startled boy and they both landed hard on the floor. Shaya grabbed the boy's shirt with one hand and had the other hand ready to hit him squarely on the face.

 

Before anyone could inject another word to keep the situation from escalating, a furious Shaya straddled the teenage boy, pummeling him. Shaya's blows hit his face in quick succession. Anyone within the vicinity could see Shaya's long, silver hair flying left and right as her body swiveled with each punch.

 

“Shaya!” Kagome yelled in an attempt to reason with the girl. Shaya really didn't hear anything, but she did feel the soft, calming touch of the miko on her shoulders and was able to breathe in her gentle scent. Soft waves of purification energy radiated from Kagome and it was barely enough to pull Inuyasha away from the bloodlust that had been coursing through his veins.

 

He looked down at his hands and then at the young boy's face. Shaya's pink painted claws were laced with red blood and the boy's face was bloody and bruised. The young man was holding his hands in front of his face in an attempt to keep any more hits from landing.

 

What unnerved the hanyou the most was the precarious position he was in. Fuck! I'm straddling the fucker! However, Inuyasha became even more shocked when he felt the boy's hardening length next to the thin cotton of his panty. Oh God No!!! I'm going to be sick! This turned him on?! He felt the bile form in his throat as a wave of nausea washed over him. Shaya quickly got up as if stung and shuffled next to his roommate as if seeking protection. The hanyou tried not to look at the groaning boy who was sporting an obvious hard-on. The guy's aroused because of me?! I'm going to puke!

 

Mall security was quickly brought in and Shaya could only grimace. Fuck! I'm caught in another fight. My parents are going to kill me. And! They might even kick me out of school again. I…I don't want to leave this school.

 

The very thought seemed alien. He had never wanted to attend school before. When he had been kicked out of school previously, he was actually glad that he didn't have to do any schoolwork. They thought kicking me out was punishment? But now, everything had changed. Being kicked out meant that he could no longer be near Kagome. She would get another roommate, and he would no longer be part of her daily routine. He would no longer be smelling her sweet scent everyday or seeing her nude form every night. For some reason, the thought of leaving horrified him, and for the first time in his life, he was regretting a fight that he had been in.

 

“What's going on here!” yelled the local mall cops who had come on the scene.

 

Shaya could only clench her fists and looked panicked at the unwelcome thought of being arrested for starting a fight and possibly being kicked out of school again.

 

His two friends helped up the battered youth, and the cops were ascertaining the damage that had been done to his face.

 

“Are you telling me that lovely girl over there did this to you?” asked one of the perplexed cops.

 

The boy nodded and had a loopy grin on his face. “Yeah, officer, she straddled my hips and gave me the beating of a lifetime. Oh, girlie, come at me again!” The young boy managed to whistle at Shaya whose face contorted again in rage. It was only Kagome's restraining hand on her arm that kept the hanyou from beating him up a second time.

 

“Shaya, I know he's a sexist jerk. But you have to restrain yourself or you could get arrested.”

 

Shaya could only growl in response.

 

The cops sighed as they looked at the comely girl who was fuming. “So, the boy mouthed off and you did a number on him?” queried one of the cops.

 

Shaya only nodded with narrowed eyes. Shit! They're going to arrest me!

 

Kagome was quick to step in front of Shaya to defend her. “That boy!” yelled Kagome as she pointed at the youth with a bruised face and a bloody nose, “was making lewd, sexual comments and groped Shaya! He deserved what he got.”

 

The officer looked up and down at Shaya. The hanyou goddess' face became beet red again as she realized that she was being checked out by mall security. “You don't say,” the officer drawled as his eyes swept pass the girl's ample bosom and her nipples that puckered against the thin fabric of her blouse. The officer grinned at Shaya and winked.

 

Inuyasha could only stare in disbelief. What the hell?

 

“Come on, Kobayashi. Let's arrest this guy and take him in!” said the officer who did not let his eyes leave Shaya's body.

 

Oh Shit! They're going to arrest me!

 

“Right, Shibata-san,” agreed the other officer as he knelt to pick up the boy groaning on the ground. Much to Shaya's surprise, he grabbed the boy's hands and forcibly pinned them behind his back.

 

“What's the matter with you, idiot. Making rude, sexual remarks to a sweet girl like her?”

 

Shaya stood in shock at the recent turn of events. They're not going to arrest me?

 

“No officers,” the boy yelled. “You would have done the same thing. She's not wearing a bra, and her boobs were jiggling while she danced to DDR and…”

 

“Can it,” murmured an officer, who winked at Shaya again as he led the disgruntled youth away.

 

I got away with it? Inuyasha was frozen in disbelief as the youth he had just beaten up was taken away while he got off scot-free. Suddenly, a mischievous grin appeared on Shaya's face and her previously slumped shoulders drew back as she stood tall. I can't believe the shit I could get away with while I'm a girl.

 

“Come on, Kagome!” Shaya ordered as he grabbed his best girl's arm and led her away from the arcade. The obnoxious brat had gotten his rocks off by looking at him, but Shaya did manage to get him arrested. Today wasn't too bad. Shaya glanced down to look at the girl he was pulling along by his side. No, today hasn't been bad at all. Inuyasha smiled down at the beautiful girl by his side.

 

They soon made their way to the second story railing, and Kagome stopped to lean against it.

 

The miko frowned. “I'm sorry, Shaya,” murmured Kagome with sad eyes. “I don't like it when guys treat us like this.”

 

“Treat us?” asked Inuyasha perplexed. He leaned up against the railing so that his body was barely touching hers. Maybe he couldn't touch Kagome every time he wanted to, but he would do everything in his power to get as close to her as he reasonably could.

 

“Surely, this has happened to you before?” questioned Kagome in amazement. She looked at Shaya quizzically.

 

“No, not really. Well, I've been in some fights,” Inuyasha acceded.

 

Kagome only tilted her head to the side with a bewildered look on her face. “A pretty girl like you must run into problems like this all the time. I mean, you're so much more beautiful than any other girl I know.”

 

Inuyasha nearly stopped as he looked down at Kagome in surprise. A small dusting of pink graced his cheeks and the bridge of his nose. “I'm not that pretty,” answered Inuyasha in astonishment. No one is as beautiful as you.

 

Kagome just held a bemused smile on her face as she sat up on the railing. Her legs bent like a mermaid underneath her and her long, smooth thighs were on display under her short miniskirt. “Shaya-chan!” said Kagome with a smile as she patted Inuyasha's shoulder. “You really don't know, do you?”

 

“Know what?” asked the perplexed hanyou.

 

His roommate only smiled and grinned at him from her perch. “Shaya you are so gorgeous that you could be a model. Hasn't anyone told you that? And why don't you have a boyfriend? The boys are all over you!”

 

The lovely, hanyou beauty drew back in revulsion. “I don't want a boyfriend,” answered Shaya in disgust. The girl shook her long, satiny locks as if she was a dog trying to shake her hair dry. Inuyasha's whole body shivered at the revolting thought. Me with a guy?! How fucking sick!

 

It was Kagome's turn to look perplexed. “Shaya are you…?” asked his roommate as a loud cry was heard on the second story atrium.

 

“Silver-haired girl!” yelled a boy in a kimono who was rushing to their place next to the railing.

 

The hanyou only groaned and smacked his face with his hand. It was that annoying guy from the ice cream shop. What was that asshole's name? Kuno?

 

It was probably because Inuyasha had his face partially covered with his hand that caused him to not see what was about to happen. The boy who had bought him ice cream was running toward Shaya so quickly that the boy flailed at the last minute (perhaps on purpose) to crash into Shaya. Kuno could only sigh in contentment as his face met Shaya's full and luscious bosom. What Kuno found so curious about the collision is that Shaya's sweet, pliable form didn't feel very soft upon impact. In fact, Shaya's chest felt like he had just plowed into a brick wall.

 

As Kuno ran into Shaya, the hanyou also fell backwards—slamming against Kagome who was balancing so precariously on the railing.

 

It took mere moments for Shaya's hanyou senses to kick in and sense the danger.

 

If felt like the world was moving slowly as Shaya turned and noticed Kagome falling over the railing, her eyes widened in horror.

 

“Nooooo!” screamed Inuyasha as he lunged forward to grab her hand. As time slowed, the hanyou saw the miko's fingertips brush against his and, her eyes screamed for someone to rescue her from her apparent doom.

 

Fingers touched once, claws flexed and Shaya lunged to jump off of the railing while holding onto the overhang with one hand. The final leap did it. In the air, his pink painted claws managed to grasp her fingers and he held on for dear life.

 

Hanging above the second story balcony was a beautiful, hanyou girl. She held onto the overhang with one hand. Her other hand dangled behind her and was grasping a terrified girl with long, raven locks.

 

“Hold on Kagome!” the Shaya grunted.

 

Kagome could only nod breathlessly and gasp underneath her would-be savior.

 

Since Inuyasha was a half-demon, pulling Kagome up while hanging onto the balcony with one hand, was about as easy as lifting a feather. “Grab my neck!” ordered Shaya and Kagome quickly complied. She wrapped her arms around his neck and, the miko's body dangled down the hanyou's back.

 

Now that Inuyasha had both hands free, he slowly pulled himself and Kagome back over the railing. All the Inuyasha could hear was the rapid beating of his heart and the heart of the girl he had a crush on. He could hear the pounding of her blood rushing through her veins as he pulled the startled girl to him. All he could think to do was to hold her close. He had to know that she was all right, that she was real and, that everything was fine.

 

As Kagome's trembling form pulled away from his their eyes bored into each other's. They were both shocked and overwhelmed. However, there was something about Shaya's face that looked tender. The golden-eyed girl looked down at the ebony-haired girl with longing.

 

Shaya's fingers briefed brushed against Kagome's raven tresses. “Kagome, are you OK?” asked the hanyou with immense concern.

 

Kagome only looked back up at her roommate with wide-eyed wonder and perhaps with a note of hero worship in her eyes.

 

“Silver-haired girl!” yelled Kuno breaking their tender moment.

 

The hanyou only turned away from Kagome and clenched his fists in disgust. “What do you want asshole?!” yelled Shaya. She grabbed the boy's kimono collar and pulled him off the floor. “You nearly killed Kagome!” screamed Shaya in a rage the boy couldn't quite comprehend.

 

“Shaya-chan,” whispered his roommate over the din of the crowd. Her words were barely perceptible, and if it wasn't for Inuyasha's selective hanyou hearing he might not have heard her voice at all. “He's not worth it.”

 

Shaya grimaced in a most unladylike way before shoving the startled boy to the ground.

 

“Come on, Kagome!” Shaya commanded as she held out her hand. “It looks like I need to watch after you every moment of the day.”

 

Kagome didn't say anything as she looked down at the clawed hand. Then, she looked up at Shaya with a brilliant smile that made the hanyou almost forget about everything that had just transpired. Suddenly there was nothing but Kagome and her warm smile. A smile he wanted to see everyday for the rest of his life.

 

Kagome joined her hand with his and followed after the silver-haired girl dutifully, like a happy puppy dog following her owner.

Author's Notes:

#1:Readers, we need your artistic help! We need someone to draw Inuyasha and/or Koga as their girl selves (perhaps reflected in a mirror), while we see their real selves in their cute sailor suit uniforms. (Yes, a picture of them in drag and a picture of them as they actually look to everyone as girls.) If anyone can get a picture to us, we'll publish it on our MediaMiner accounts and as an added incentive we'll give you a sneak preview into the pajama party chapter.

#2: Thank you folks for your many suggestions for Wii video games and movies for Inu/Kag. We used one suggested Wii game in this chapter. We will use another suggested video in the next chapter when Kagome goes on a date… Hee hee… But who is she going on a date with?

#3: Yes, we grabbed `Kuno' from Ranma 1/2 (the guy who has a crush on `the pig-tailed girl' AKA Ranma the guy/girl) and threw him in our story. Isn't it fun to have an oblivious man with a crush on a `girl' who is really a `guy'? Oh and if you have never read Ranma 1/2 you might want to read Rumiko Takahashi's previous comedy about a boy cursed to be a girl. You can find it at OneManga dot Com. (Hee hee, wonder where we get our inspirations from?)

#4: These are real ice cream flavors in Japan: green tea, banana, caramel, Hokkaido melon, mikan orange peel, chestnut, black sesame and sweet potato, cappuccino, tofu, peanut and grape.

#5: 5,000 Yen--about $50 US Dollars.

 

Next Chapter: Going on a Date with Kagome and Shaya tries to get a job.
