InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Inuyasha:A Christmas Story ❯ shopping ( Chapter 2 )

K'yra: I have another chapter!

Inuyasha: the torture! Why me?!

Kagome: stop being dramatic, Inuyasha. It's not like she dressed you up in hot pink pajamas or anything

Inuyasha (under breath): yet…..

K'yra (evil grin): good idea!

Sesshomaru: this will be amusing

K'yra: you're back?

Sesshomaru (nods glumly and points at jen): she did it

Jen: did not!….wait, yes-yes I did

K'yra (shaking head despite the smile growing on her face): the things I put up with. Inuyasha, DOWN!

Inuyasha (face vaults, mere inches from taking away the keyboard): damnit!

Kagome: how'd you do that? I thought I was the only person who could make him fall like that

K'yra (evil grin grows wider): I'm the writer. I can do anything I want

Kagome: oh, okay. That makes sense.

Sesshomaru (looking bored): can I go now?

K'yra (smiles innocently and takes out whip): only if I get to come

Sesshomaru (sighs through a slight smile): fine

(both leave)

Jen, Kagome, and Inuyasha (wonders where they're going and what happened 1) to make Sesshomaru not only agree, but smile and 2) where K'yra got another whip):…

Inuyasha: umm, since they are gone, K'yra does not own me or the others from the show, though I'm beginning to wonder about Sesshomaru, as she is merely a stupid human who can't think of something as good as me or even the show so don't bother suing her, or you'll basically get her voices and-

Jen (hits Inuyasha sharply): she is not a stupid human! She's not even human! She's a fire sprite! And I'd like to see you do better at writing a story

Inuyasha (rubs head w/an "ow"): I can do better!

Kagome and Jen (not believing): yeah, right.

Inuyasha: I can! I swear I can!

Jen and Kagome raise their eyebrows at him, then disappear, leaving him all alone.

Inuyasha: hello? Heelllllooooooooo!!(smiling) yes! Their gone!!!

K'yra's voice(from gods only know where): Inuyaaaaaashaaaaaa!

Inuyasha(nervously):what?

K'yra's voice:look down

Inuyasha(looks down and sees hot pink tu-tu):AAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

Sesshomaru's voice: I love you for that

K'yra's voice:yey! Now get back on the bed!

Sesshomaru's voice (sighs): again?

K'yra's voice: yup

Sesshomaru's voice (with hinted smile and another sigh): okay, fine

Chapter Two: Shopping

"Well, we'd better get you guys some clothes, so that we can go shopping." she says, smiling broadly . Inuyasha gives an annoyed `Feh", but does not argue.

"You mean we can really go!" Shippou yips, as Kagome leads them to the kitchen. "This'll be great!"

"This should be fun." Miroku agrees. "I do hope the women are as beautiful there as they are here." He says. Sango growls menacingly and hits him on the head with a frying pan that she took out of Mrs. Higurashi's hand. Sango hands the pan back to Kagome's mother, who proceeds to finish drying it, as though nothing had happened.

"Mom," Kagome says as she steps over Miroku's unconscious form, "we need to go shopping before we go to America. Do you have something that Miroku and Inuyasha could wear to go out in?" she asks. Her mother thinks for a minute.

"They can wear something of your father's. Shippou should probably wear some of Sota's clothes. There's five hundred dollars in my wallet. I went to the bank while you were getting your friends. Try to buy something nice. If you need more money then come back and I'll go to the bank." She looks at Miroku, who is starting to wake up. "And you might want to keep a close watch on that one. I don't trust him in a mall, though I can't quite say why." She adds with a cheerful smile. Kagome gives her mother a hug, and with a chorus of quick thanks, they disappear out the door.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*

At the mall…

SLAP!!!!

Miroku hits the ground hard, his eyes swirling. Sango runs up, to apologize to a young woman with a baby in a stroller. She viciously yanks Miroku off the floor, beating him on the head.

"HOW *Bam! * DARE *Bam! * YOU *Bam! * FEEL *Bam! * UP *Bam! * THAT *Bam! * POOR *Bam! * WOMAN! *Bam! *" She screams between hits. "I can't believe you did that! You stupid-perverted-idiot! And you call yourself a devout monk! By Kami, I oughta tell Inuyasha and Kagome what you did you sick pervert!" She yells viciously. With a sudden calm she turns to the woman. "I'm terribly sorry, ma'am. I lost him for a minute." The woman smiles.

"That's okay, we can't watch over them all the time. My brother's just like him, the poor boy. Can't keep control over their selves for one minute. Well, have a nice day, and watch over him." She says cheerfully, walking away.

"You too, and I will." Sango replies. Then she turns back to Miroku, ready to beat him bloody again. She's about to hit him when she feels a hand on her butt. She turns to see a guy about her age. Miroku jumps out of her grasp, in between them.

"Hey! Leave her alone!" he yells. The other guy laughs, and Miroku notices that the guy is twice his size, at least.

"Or what, pipsqueak?" the guy asks. Miroku doesn't answer, but picks his staff off the floor where he dropped it while having the living daylights beat out of him, and whacks it over the guy's head …... Hard.

"Or that." he answers with amusement and, gathering up a blushing Sango, walks off to find Inuyasha and Kagome. The two find their friends at a shop called MaxWells, looking through suits. Inuyasha is already heavily laden with shopping bags, and definitely not happy. He's grumbling some not-so-nice expletives that earn him a look from both Kagome and Sango.

"Watch your tongue, Inuyasha! We're in public place!" Kagome chastises him sharply as a woman leads her kid away from them with a glare. She smiles at Sango, who tries hard not to laugh at the pair. "I'm trying to find good suits for Inuyasha and Miroku, for cheap. This is the best place for that." She looks at Miroku, and picks up a dark brown suit. "How `bout this one?" she asks, not quite sure. Sango shakes her head and picks up a snazzy black one.

"That one's ugly. I like this one better. Even he would look better in this one." She says, grinning. Kagome takes a quick look at the price, and smiles.

"Nice. And cheap, too. Let's get it. One for Inuyasha, too. We can get others from my dad's closet. Let's pay for these, then we can get clothes for us. Sound good?" she asks cheerfully. Sango nods, and they got to the cash register. A cute boy is working the register, and Kagome smiles at him. The smile is both innocent and teasing, and Inuyasha checks the urge to growl at the guy, as it would only embarrass the others. The guy smiles back, and rings up the suits.

"You guys going to a fancy party or something?" he asks, not letting his eyes leave Kagome and Sango. Miroku glares at him.

"If we are, then they already have dates, as you could see, if you would just remove your eyes from the girls to glance briefly around." Miroku says sharply. The girls giggle, and the guy shrugs.

"I dunno, the view seems better over here." He responds. He doesn't even see anything coming as a huge fist hits him in the back. A big man who looks like he could be a football player stares at the cashier.

"Who are you?" the boy asks the newcomer.

"I'm their father." The man responds sharply. The cashier cowers, handing Kagome her bags.

"H-here you go, miss." He stammers. Kagome and Sango manage to keep a straight face until they are out of the store, before they burst out laughing. Shippou, who has resumed his normal state, laughs with them.

"Did you see his face!?" the little kitsune shrieks, laughing so hard he almost falls off Kagome's shoulder. Kagome controls herself enough to hand Miroku the two suit bags.

"He must have jumped a mile, Shippou!" she says, giggling wildly. Sango nods, as that is all she can do in her current state. Miroku and Inuyasha just shake their heads. They didn't find it that funny. What they think is even less funny is the fact that they are now sharing the seven very heavy bags between the two of them, and Kagome and Sango are planning on getting more. Kagome stops in front of a dress store, and looks in her purse, to see how much money they have left. She frowns, and looks at Sango.

"We only have 30 dollars left. You want to get lunch, then make a stop at my house?" she asks Sango.

"Sure, I'm starved." Sango says. Loud growls from Miroku and Shippou's stomachs confirm the decision, and Kagome leads them to the food court. The smells of all the types of foods jump out at Shippou and Inuyasha, and they look around excitedly. Kagome gives Sango and Miroku twelve dollars, and takes the other eighteen for her, Inuyasha, and Shippou. As she starts to lead the demons to a McDonald's stand a familiar scent catches Inuyasha's attention.

"Ramen!" he yells, racing over to a stand where they are selling ramen noodles. Kagome and Shippou follow him, and mange to pull him back before he attacks the poor girl running the register.

"We'd like three large orders of ramens with cokes, please." Kagome says with a smile, hitting Inuyasha on the side of the head. The cashier gives a relieved sigh and fills three cups with hot ramen noodles, then does the same with the cokes. She places them on a tray and rings up the order.

"That'll be fifteen dollars and 33 cents, please." She says politely. Kagome pays and gets her change, then picks up the tray and starts off with her little group to find the other two. They're spotted at a McDonalds, trying to pay unsuccessfully. Kagome places the tray on an empty table, tells Inuyasha and Shippou to be seated She gives them a warning not to even dare to think of touching the food, and goes off to help her friends.

"Yes, I know each meal only cost $4.99, but you didn't add on the tax." The manager is saying. Kagome reaches them and puts on a fake cheery smile.

"Well there you two are, I've been looking everywhere for you guys!" she says, with a cheery glint in her eyes that scares Miroku more than any of her other various faces. She turns to the manager. "I'm sorry sir, but they come from a secluded area. Most of what they buy has the tax already in put in the price. How much was it?"

"Ten dollars and 58 cents." The man says. Kagome takes the twelve dollars from Miroku's hand and hands them to the man He gives her the change. Then she picks up the food and almost literally drags Miroku and Sango over to Inuyasha's table.

"You guys can't argue with the store manager!" she yells venomously at them. They sit down with quick apologies before diving into their meals. After lunch they make their way over to the car. Under a silent agreement Kagome gets behind the wheel. Sango sits in the front passenger seat and the other three squeeze themselves in the back with the bags that didn't fit in the trunk.

When they get home Sango, Kagome, and Shippou go into the house, leaving the bags with Miroku and Inuyasha. Shippou immediately goes to play with Sota, and the girls look for Kagome's mom. They find her in her bedroom folding clothes and humming to herself.

"Hi mom, we're back," Kagome says, walking into the room.

"Oh, hello, Kagome. What did you get?" her mother asks curiously.

"We'll show you," Sango says, and they usher her downstairs and into the living room.

They show her the clothes, and the three of them talk for hours. After a only few minutes Miroku gets kicked out for being perverted, and shortly after Inuyasha is stolen by Souta.
