Chapter 12
Kagome smiled as she pulled the money from her secret stash that was for "Emergencies only". She had just got done with showing Bankotsu the house and now planned on taking him to the mall to buy him some present day threads.
It had taken all of Kagome's will power to contain her laughter during the tour. Bankotsu was like a toddler, fascinated by everything around him. When she had shown him her room, he had stared at her bed for a moment before asking if by any chance her family was wealthy. She laughed before telling him that they weren't rich, just middle-class and that, in her time, even most poor families had beds like hers. She showed him how to work her desk lamp and all her photographs of her friends. Then she went on to the bathroom where she showed him all the wonders of in-door plumbing. She bit back her laughter at the amazed look on his face when she turned on the shower for a demonstration. She didn't think her family's rooms were important so she took him back downstairs to the living room, where she basically just showed him how the TV worked. Bankotsu, of course, wouldn't admit it, but the TV was the scariest thing he had ever seen. A talking box with miniature humans in it? At that, Kagome did let out a little giggle before telling him that those were actors and it was basically a moving photograph like the ones she had shown him. He was still skeptical, but he accepted it. Last, she showed him the kitchen with the electric stove and refrigerator.
Now, Kagome jogged down the stairs and met Bankotsu in the living room. She looked at him as he lifted Banryuu up to rest on his shoulder and frowned.
"Bankotsu, sorry to tell you this but you have to leave Banryuu here. You might get arrested if people see you carrying it around," Kagome said. Bankotsu scowled, and she hastened to placate him. "Here, we'll put it up in my room and no one will bother with it," she assured him.
After a moment of contemplation, he gave up and sighed. Kagome led him back upstairs to her room and he gently set Banryuu against the wall, not wanting to set it on her bed where he had originally planned, thinking it would surely break it with its heavy weight.
"Okay, let's go!" Kagome said excitedly before rushing downstairs again. "Mom! I'm taking Bankotsu to the mall! Be back in a few hours!" she yelled.
"Okay, dear. Be sure to eat something there because I'm going to my Book Club meeting and won't be here to fix lunch," Mrs. Higurashi called back.
"'Kay! Bye Mom! Bye Gramps and Souta!"
Kagome grabbed Bankotsu's hand and ran out the door before she heard them reply.
