InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Love Is... ❯ Shopping Then A Party ( Chapter 6 )

* * * * * * * * * * * * Kira's POV * * * * * * * * * * *

It did not take us long to arrive at the mall, the whole way Kagome and I chatted about nothing in particular, just things about work and we talked about the party some. Now I am waiting for Kagome to come out of a dressing room in the dress I handed her ten minutes ago.

"Kagome-chan? Even with my youkai senses I can not see through walls, so why don't you come out and show me the dress." I said getting a bit annoyed, but it was kind of amusing

"Ano…I don't know if this is the right dress for me." Kagome said with a bit of a nervous laugh in her voice

"Well if you come out I can take a look and see." I said trying to get her out of that damn dressing room

"No…I think we should find something else, I don't even know if I have enough money for this." she said with a sad tone, I hated that tone

"Kagome-chan, it's my treat, so you better come out of there before I rip the door off." I knew that would get her out, a second later I heard the door click

Kagome stepped out of the dressing room wearing a blue satin dress, it had slits going up about mid thigh on each side of the dress. There was one strap that went from the right side of the dress to hook around her left shoulder, she was truly beautiful, it was the perfect dress for her.

"Your getting that dress, it is too perfect, you have to get it." I said examining in more closely, yup still perfect

"You think? I don't know if it's really me." she said looking at herself in the mirror

"Of course it's you, the new you, the you that appeared when you broke up with the bastard. I would LOVE to see his face when you walk in wearing this dress, a picture of him drooling comes to mind." I said giggling, I knew she was going to get this dress

"As great as that would be, it's still way too expensive." she was trying to argue with me about the price now? When will she learn that money does not matter?

"Like I said my treat, just like all of the other cloths we're going to buy for you. I have money and I want to spend it on my friends, what's the point of having money if you can't share it with someone?" I always believed if you had money you should do something good with it, and this was as good I was going to get right now, later I would donate some money to a few charities and to the children's hospital as I always do, I just love kids

"Okay if you insist I will get it, but now that means we will have to find you a dress." Kagome said giving me a little smirk, what was she planning?

"Hai, let us find me one then." I said, giving her a knowing look

We walked around for a bit, I found a dress fairly easy, I was never too picky about my own clothing, even for big parties, I never knew why. I could tell Kagome was getting tired, though I wasn't I decided we should stop and get something to eat and drink while she rested her feet.

"Let us stop here and rest, I could use something to eat anyways." I said then looked over to see a very grateful Kagome sitting down at a table in the middle of the Food Court

I got up, already knowing what to get Kagome, I know her all to well. I got to the pizza place where I always eat when I come here, and ordered our food, I had a slice of pizza with everything on it, and I got Kagome a slice with ham and mushroom. After I got the food I grabbed two lemonades, paid for it and headed back to the table, all the while feeling like someone was watching me, but I shrugged it off. I got back to the table a minute later and gave Kagome her food and drink then started eating mine. It was unusually quiet, and I did not like it one bit. I hated quiet, it was always filled with awkward moments and such, how I hated those. Me myself liked talking, even if it was just a bit of talking, anything beats this torture. True the mall was crowded and it was very noisy, but that did not matter, I had to get her talking.

"So Kagome-chan, excited about tonight?" I asked her hoping she would take the bait, and she did

"Hai, it seems like it will be fun." she answered me looking a bit happier

"If you only knew, it is usually pretty dull unless someone gets drunk and makes a fool out of themselves, and believe me it happens a lot, but not enough." I said remembering the time Inuyasha was that one drunken idiot at one of the parties their father and his wife threw

"Oh." was all she said as she began eating her own food

"But since Inuyasha will be there, it may be fun after all." I said knowing she would get what I was hinting at

"You wouldn't, would you?" she asked looking me in the eyes, she already knew the answer, why she bothers asking I will never know

"Of course I would." I said then took a bit out of my pizza as if we were never having this conversation in the first place

"Why? Just because of what happened between me and him?" she asked me seeming to forget her food, she looked a bit upset

"Of course not Kagome-chan, I always do things like that to my little brother. You should know, we have know you for a long time now, can you honestly say I am acting that much different towards him now than I did then?" I asked the girl sitting in front of me, the truth was I am treating him as I always did, but this time I'm letting his bitch in on the fun (talking about Kikyou of course)

"Please Kira, don't do anything to him, I may not like him but he doesn't deserve the wrath of Kira just because of me." she asked, her eyes pleading and I couldn't say no to that, but I couldn't say yes either

"Okay, I will not do anything extra bad to him tonight, just the normal stuff I do at these parties to take my mind off everything, okay?" I said knowing she would buy it, how would she know what I normally do, and how would she know it was me?

"That's all that I ask, I would hate it if he thought I was putting you up to it because I was jealous or something, because knowing Inuyasha that's exactly what he would think." she said seeming to remember about her food now that she thought I would behave tonight

"Yes, he would be the type to think something stupid like that." I said finishing off the last bit of my food and began working on my drink

"So Kira-chan, tell me, what is Inuyasha's mother like? He never really told me much about her, or your father." she asked in a curious tone, though normally I would not answer, I felt I should

"Well, Inuyasha's mother is quite, abnormal, at least to me she is. She married my father when I was quite young, Sess-chan never seemed to like her at all, even more so when Inuyasha was born. She has been alive a very, very long time thanks to my father and some potion she was given, I was never told the whole story so I can not exactly tell you how it was done. Over the years she has become a bit weird, no one seemed to have noticed but me." I said remembering many things from my child-hood, not a lot of good things, but not a lot of bad things either

"Was she a good step-mother to you?" she was with her curious tone again

"I would not know, Sess-chan made me promise not to get close to her because she wasn't our true mother, he thinks she was trying to take our mothers place. I mean I love my mother with all of my heart, and more, but it would have been nice to have a female to talk to, even if she was a human one. But after all these years I have yet to have a full conversation with her, I avoided any when I was a kid, and I still do, all for my brother." I said feeling a bit sad, but trying not to let it show too much

"You're a good sister to give up a chance to have a mother for your brother, I wish I had a brother like that." she said frowning a bit

"I thought you had a little brother, Souta?" I asked remembering seeing the picture of the little boy in her dressing room

"Hai, but I don't know where he lives anymore, after my mother left us my step-father took him away and left me to take care of myself, which I did, but it would still be nice to see him again." she looked like she was on the verge of tears, I really did feel sorry for her, at least I had someone when I was growing up

"You must have been close when you were younger, right? I said feeling a bit more curious about her and her family

"As close as we could be, his father never did like me much, he didn't want me filling Souta's head with nonsense as he called it, just because I told Souta he could be whatever he wanted to be. So his father kept him away from me as much as he could, going out and doing boy things so I couldn't go with them cause I was a girl." by the time she said that I was feeling really sorry for her, it seemed my child-hood wasn't too bad compared to hers

"Well, we should get going, it will take a bit to get ready, then we have a long drive to the house."
I said trying to change the subject, the and we really did need to leave

"Okay." she said as she stood up and threw away the rest of her food, I did the same though I had no food left, I never do

We gathered our things and walked out the door back to the car, it was about four o'clock, so we had about 3 hours to get dressed and drive to the party. Kouga said he would meet me there so I had to ride with Kagome and Sessy, which I don't mind, I want to see the two interact with each other, even if it is just a car ride, a two hour car ride

* * * * * * * * * * * Kagome's POV * * * * * * * * * * *

After a whole afternoon of shopping, me and Kira finally made our way back to her place to get ready for the party. By then time we got there we only had about 45 minutes to get ready. I went straight to my room and took a really quick shower, then I got on my new dress that Kira insisted on getting for me, though it was a bit expensive, oh who am I kidding it was really expensive. Though I loved the dress I doubt I will wear it much, it was a bit too dressy for my performances, and I doubt that I will be going to that many parties such as this, but I will still treasure it.

"I hope I look alright." I said to myself while looking in the mirror, I decided to wear my hair down, I never was good with hair, and I had very little make-up on since I don't like it too much

I walked out of my room and down the stairs into the hallway in front of the front door, it seems Kira and Sesshoumaru were not ready yet, so I stood there waiting. After about waiting for five minutes I heard someone coming down the stairs, it sounded like Kira, so I turned around and sure enough there she was looking as beautiful as ever, I always envied her beauty. She was wearing a long black dress, with slits up both sides like mine, but her's was strapless and velvet, it was the perfect dress for her.

"Sess-chan should be done soon, it seems he was doing some work instead of getting ready, so we may be a little late, but no one will really mind." Kira said as she walked down the stairs coming closer to me

"Kagome-chan, you look beautiful, I knew that dress was for you." Kira said smiling at me

"Thank you, you look very beautiful too, that dress seems to go with you." I said smiling back at her, she really was like an older sister to me

"Arigatou Kagome-chan, but enough of this complimenting each other. Let's find something to do while we wait for my workaholic brother." Kira said then she grabbed my arm and pulled me towards the kitchen

"Okay, so what are we going to do in here?" I asked, not sure as to why we were in the kitchen

"Eat of course, there's never really any good food at these parties. You would think all that money would buy good food, but instead it's this crap that only rich people eat because it makes them feel better about themselves or something that." Kira explained to me as she rummaged through the cabinets

"I see, so what's for dinner then?" I asked, I really was starting to get hungry since I didn't really finish my lunch earlier

"Umm…cookies?" Kira said holding up a box of Girl Scout cookies

"Sounds good to me, wait, how old are those?" I cringed at the thought of what may be growing inside of that box

"I do not remember, not that old I think." Kira said looking at the box

"You think?" I asked, I really didn't want to chance opening the box

"Your right, I'll give them to Inuyasha later." she said then threw them back into the cabinet
After watching Kira rummage through more cabinets I heard someone coming down the stairs, it seems Kira did too. We both made our way out of the kitchen and into the hall, only to find a very well dressed Sesshoumaru looking very annoyed.

"Sess-chan, what's the matter with you?" Kira asked him as she moved closer, I stayed where I was

"Nothing is the matter." he simply replied, it was obvious even to me that something was wrong

"I know you do not like these parties, but that is no reason to act this way, I mean you looked like someone just shot your dog or something." Kira said then began to giggle realizing what she just said, I wanted to do the same but I held it in

"Let us go sister dear." Sesshoumaru said in a playful icy tone

"Hai, oh and by the way you look nice brother dear." she said then skipped towards the door to grab her coat

Kira wasn't lying when she said he looked nice, in fact he looked good, really good. He had his silver hair pulled back into a low ponytail, and he was wearing a black tux that seemed to fit him perfectly, I had to stop myself from drooling. I followed Kira and grabbed my own coat, then we walked out the door leaving Sesshoumaru behind.

* * * * * * * * * * * Sessy's POV * * * * * * * * * * *

I watched as my sister and her friend left out the door, all the time Kira was trying to find out what was the matter with me I was trying not to stare at Kagome, which was a very difficult thing to do.
"Sess-chan, are you coming or not? Father will be upset if we're late." Kira said in her bored tone that I know all to well

I did not bother to answer her, I simply made my way to the car, not hurrying for I knew Kira would be mad if I took my time to get there. I go to the car and Kira got in, but before Kagome could I opened the door for her, I knew woman liked this, and I was after all a gentleman. I must have surprised her a bit because I could see it all over her beautiful face as she got in the car. After she got in I shut the door and got in the drivers seat, all the while Kira was watching me with a curious look in her eyes, but she did not say anything, to my own surprise.

"I hope this party isn't like the last, well not entirely." Kira finally said after about twenty minutes of driving

"And why is that sister?" I asked, though knowing what she meant

"Because brother, last time I had to spend the whole not hiding from a bunch of male youkai, as you did with the females." she said not even looking at me, which she usually did

"But this time you have Kouga there with you, so you will not have to hide from anyone." I said trying to reassure her that she had nothing to worry about

"Hai, and you have Kagome-chan, so it will be much better for you also." Kira said looking back at the girl in the backseat

I did not answer that comment she made, because after she looked at Kagome she winked at me, and I did not like it one bit. Kira didn't seem to mind my quietness, which was again odd for her, but sure enough for the last hour and a fifty minutes of the drive she was quiet, and so was Kagome. Not that I minded the quietness, it was just….weird. As we pulled up to the front of the house and got out, I noticed how many women, human and youkai alike were staring at me with lust-filled eyes. I gave the valet my car keys, though I really did not want to, but Kira always made me so I decided to give them to him willingly the first time so I could save the embarrassing scene Kira would make mostly for her amusement. It took a bit of time to make it through the front door, but once we did we were greeted by my father, as if he were waiting for us, and he probably was.

"Sesshoumaru, Kira, how nice to see you. Oh who is you friend?" father asked looking at Kagome

"That's Kagome Higurashi, Sess-chan's date." Kira piped in just as father's wife made her way over to us

"Sesshoumaru has a date? Well that took long enough, I never thought he would get a girlfriend." my fathers wife Nilana said

"And I never thought you would get some common sense, I guess I was right." I heard Kira murmur under her breath, Nilana did not hear, but father did.

"Kira, do not say such things to your mother." father said growling at Kira, but of course she didn't care

"But father, I don't say those things to my mother, for she isn't here to say those things too." Kira said then walked away leaving our father stunned and his wife confused at what they were talking about.

After seeing this scene between Kira and our father I decided this was going to be a interesting night.
