InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ That's life for ya! ❯ Mall rats! ( Chapter 2 )

Disclaimer- Me- So last night I had Inuyasha and Sesshy locked up in my closet. Heh, heh, heh. All was going according to plan until Takahashi's men came and found them there. Crapity crap......BUT I'LL NEVER GIVE UP!!!

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

Shippou had his face pressed against the window watching everything, as did Inuyasha, Sango, and Miroku. Unfortunately, aside from being sea sick, Shippou was apparently car sick too.

"Kagome, I don't.....I don't feel good....." He whined with swirly eyes.

"Shut up runt. What the hell kind of demon are you anyways?" Barked Inuyasha. But because what goes around comes around, the hanyou started to feel sick. Finally, they were at the mall. Kagome had given the two demons a stick of gum to help ease their stomachs. (A/N- I heard that's what helps when you get motion sick and don't have meds on hand. I dunno! ^o^) They stepped out of the car and went inside the huge mall. Kagome's friends were all breath taken at the sights. Especially Miroku, who had already spotted the Victoria's Secret, not to mention all the girls walking around. Kagome could have sworn he had some sort of radar wired into him. He looked like he was gonna explode if he didn't ask one of them his trade mark question, but he didn't know which one to ask because there were so many to choose from. And boy were some of there clothes more reveling than Kagome's.

"Don't even think about it monk." Sango hissed.

"Think about about what lovely Sango? I don't know what you could be talking about." Miroku smiled and turned around.

'He's still got that damn hentai grin on his face, I just know it.' Sango thought flatly.

"Okay kids, why don't we meet back here in an hour and a half. Kagome, you have your cell phone right?" Ms. Higurashi asked.

"Yup."

"And I've got mine. Have fun guys!" She said as she walked away.

"Okay everyone, let's start with Shippou. There's a kid's store over there." She pointed to the store and they walked over to it. "Oh, one more thing. Please try not to get separated!! It's a big place here."

"Hai Kagome." They answered in unison.

"Kagome, I want these!!!" Shippou grabbed at a piece of clothes.

"Shippou, I think that's a little too big for you. But your still too old for newborns....." Kagome thought out loud. "You so much smaller than regular kids. Maybe mama will just have to make what you wear......" She began. Then, I'll ask if we can stop at the craft store to pick up a pattern on the way back......whatever! We'll figure somethin' out! Let's move on to you guys." First, they went to a Rave store for Sango.

"Okay, pick anything you want!" Kagome told her.

"Alright. Uhhh, let's see...." Sango looked through the rack of clothes. They were all so nice. But some were kind of, well, just not something Sango would ever think to wear.

"Sango, over here! I found something you might like!!!" Kagome said happily. Sango made her way to her friend.

"What is it?" She asked.

"Here! Tell me what ya think about it." She handed it over. It was a black tank top with a little pink heart in the center.

"Wow, thanks Kagome! This is great!!!" She squeeled hugging the top.

"Let's find some jeans or something to go with it too." Meanwhile, Inuyasha, Shippou, and Miroku were just standing in the store waiting for them to be done. Inuyasha looked completely bored beyond reason, Shippou shared the same expression as well. Miroku was having a ball however. He listened to the dance music coming from he didn't know where, and he was bopping along with the beat trying to keep up.

"What ARE you doing?" Inuyasha questioned.

"Nothing! I was simply, umm, getting my freak on."

"Gettin' your freak on? Where the hell did ya get that?" Inuyasha asked.

"I read it off a sign in front of a store. I just wanna be hip!!" He complained.

Shippou leaned over to Inuyasha. "I think it must be some kind of human mating call." He whispered. Inuyasha just grunted in response. Finally, Sango and Kagome walked out of the dressing room. They started cracking up when they found Miroku trying to dance with some girls.

"Come on ladies, don't be shy!!"

"Uh, are we on some candid camera show?" One asked.

"Don't make contact with him. It's not good to mess with the bakas." Her friend warned as they walked away.

"Miroku, get over here!" Kagome giggled. "What do you think of Sango's new look?"

Miroku gaped at her. Sango now wore that black tank top and a pair of dark blue jeans with a rose crawling up the legs.

"Well? Stop starring and just tell me!" Sango snapped blushing.

"You look great my dear Sango." He complemented taking her hand with sparkly eyes. She quickly pulled back blushing. "Hey! Who wants to watch me get my freak on!" He offered.

"W-where did you learn that?" Kagome asked stunned.

"It's better if you don't know." Shippou told her. Inuyasha nodded. She took Sango to the front counter to pay for everything. The lady let her wear what she just bought.

"On to your clothes!" She smiled, but quickly added, "This should be an experience...." She dragged them to the next store for guy's clothes. Inuyasha almost immediately found an outfit that he liked. It was a white tee shirt with a brown dog on it. It had the words, "Bad dog" Written on the chest. He also found some baggy gray pants to go along with it. He quickly took the mannequin, clothes and all, in his arms and raced to Kagome.

"I found something!!" He exclaimed. Kagome turned around and was greeted by the blank white face of the store doll.

"EEK!" She yelped. "Oh, it's you. Why do you have that?"

"It's got my clothes. Don't we take them too?"

"No, come with me." She sighed grabbing his hand. "Is this what you want?" She asked holding up the same thing.

"Yeah! But, where's the guy?"

"He's only there to show you what it looks like on a person. You take from here, on the shelf." She showed him.

"Oh. Okay then." He took the clothes Kagome was holding out and threw the doll aside. Kagome scrambled to pick it back up and put it where it belonged.

"Miroku, did you find anything yet?" She asked.

"No, not exactly...." He replied thumbing through the hangers.

"Okay, we're comin'." She motioned Inuyasha to follow her and they went over to the puzzled monk. "Well, what are you looking for?"

"Um, clothes?" He said/asked.

"No I mean, what kind of style?" 'That was a stupid question. Like he would know.' She thought to herself. "Actually, let me help." She also started looking. She found a pair of knee length khaki shorts which she held onto. "What do you think of this?"

"It's rather nice! Can I get my freak on in them?" He wondered.

"NO!" His friends all shot back.

"Well, well, well!" He snorted mumbling somethings about disrespect for a monk, and some inaudible things. He started looking for a shirt to go along for his new sexy look, so he called it. He found a white short sleeved shirt. The sleeves were blue and the front of the shirt said 'Buddha Boi' "Lady Kagome, I've found something!" He waved for her attention. She made her way over to him and looked at the tee shirt he held.

"That's a good pick Miroku!" She commented. "Oooh! It's on sale too! Good eye!"

"Yes, but I do believe the word boy is spelled wrong....." He said. Kagome laughed light heartedly and brought him to the changing room.

When they got there, Inuyasha was done and stepped out sporting his new look. Kagome turned a nice shade of red when she saw him. Man did he look hot! Even though he had a long sleeved shirt under the tee, she could still make out his muscles. And the dog on the shirt was too cute! Inuyasha was getting annoyed. 'Okay, you can say something now!' He thought even though part of him was pleased that she liked what she saw. He felt now was a damn good time to say something cocky.

"Well well Kagome, enjoying the show?" He sneered, doing a weird little dance. She quickly snapped out of it and smacked him lightly on the arm.

"Just shut up. Looks like that fits you okay. After Miroku tries that on, we can pay for it." She turned her head to the stall the monk was currently occupying. "How ya doin' in there?"

"Um..... in need for a little help please!" He struggled to say. A loud thud could be heard as he banged into the wall. "Ow..."

"Inuyasha, will you help him?"

"What? Why me?!" He asked waving his arms in the air.

"Because you are a guy and lord knows what he needs help with in there, now go!" She pushed him towards Miroku's stall. Inuyasha growled, sent her a final glare, and went in through the door.

"Holy Shit! What the hell did you do?!"

"I don't know Inuyasha, these little buttons are very tricky!!!" Miroku whined.

Kagome shook her head. "Boys....." She sighed. "Hmmm, wonder where Sango is.....and Shippou for that matter.....oh man! Where could they be?!" She yelped running around the store looking for them. She looked out the window and took a breath of relief when she found them in the store across from the one she was in. Sango was looking at some make up with Shippou perched on her shoulder.

"What do you think of this color?" Sango asked the Kitsune holding up a tube of lipstick.

"Uh, why don't you try it on so I can see how it looks on you." He told her.

"Hey guys!" Kagome said jogging up to them. "What are you doing?"

"Oh, I'm sorry Kagome! I didn't mean to be gone for so long. It's just that I saw this store and all the great stuff in here......" She trailed off as she picked up a compact of rose colored eye shadow.

"That would look nice on you!" Kagome said.

"Do you really think so?"

"Uh huh! Let's get it for you!" She smiled as she paid the cashier.

"Higurashi!" A voice yelled from behind. Kagome turned to see the caller and inwardly frowned when she realized it was Hojo. She plastered a huge fake smile on her face as he approached her.

"Oh, konnichiwa Hojo-kun! I didn't expect to see you here!"

"Well, I was just doin' a little shopping ya know, spring break coming up shortly and all!" He smiled. "Hey listen," He began slowly. "I was just wondering......well, would you like to go to the movies with me after we leave the mall?" He asked hopefully.

"Uhhhhh, movies huh? Ummmmm......." She stalled as best she could until....

"Of course she'll go with you today Hojo!!!!" Answered Yuka for her.

"Aaaiiiieee! Yuka, Eri, Ayuma, when did you guys get here?!" She yelped turning around to face them.

"That's great!!!! Why don't I just tag along with you until your done shopping?" He offered.

"Us too!!!!" Her friends all said at the same time. Sango and Shippou looked at the scene, and then back at each other

"Wow, Kagome sure is popular!" Shippou whispered to Sango who nodded in reply.

"Well......" Kagome said. Just then she remembered something. "Oh my God! I forgot about Inuyasha and Miroku!!! I'll be right back!!!" She ran back into the store.

Hojo leaned over to Ayuma. "Who is she talking about?"

"No clue!" She shrugged.

(Cut to Kagome)

"Inuyasha? Miroku? Are you done yet?" She knocked on the door and asked. No answer. She knocked harder but there was still no response. Now she was banging on the door so hard that it opened up revealing something that nobody should have ever seen in their young lives. Kagome screamed. And so did the grotesquely obese, hairy, dress-clad man.

"OH MAH GOD!!!" He yelled in a deep voice.

"Oh dear God, I am so sorry! I thought...well before.....uh, um......I'm just gonna go now!!!!!" She squeaked and slammed the door shut. She spun on her heel and tried to take off a break neck speed, only to crash into Inuyasha's chest.

"What's wrong Kagome?" He asked concerned. "You look kinda pale, and your shaking all over!"

"Well, whatever scared her, it must be in that stall we were in, seeing as she tried to run away from it." Miroku explained. Before Kagome could stop them, the two boys kicked down the door. Almost instantly they fainted at the sight. The cross dressing man Marched out.

"Well I never!" He threw the dress on them and then stepped right on their bodies to get across.

"I tried to stop you....." She said still discolored. The two guys just whimpered slightly as she helped them up. Once they paid the store clerk they walked out, Miroku and Inuyasha both wearing their new clothes. Now that they thought about the recent sight that they saw back in the dressing rooms, they laughed. In fact, Kagome almost forgot about the extra people waiting for her asides from Sango and Shippou.

'Oh crapity crap.' She growled to herself as she saw Hojo waving to her like a damn fool. Inuyasha's growl was far from unnoticed though.

"Who the hell is this guy?" He asked. As he neared the boy waving to HIS Kagome, the threatening growl became deeper. Hojo gulped hard and stepped up to the pissed off hanyou.

"Hojo is the name stanger. And who might you be?" He asked holding out his hand to Inuyasha.

Inuyasha flattened ears down to his head, leaned toward Hojo, and sniffed the extended hand. 'I remember that scent. It's that damn Hobo fuck who likes Kagome.' He recalled to himself. Hojo recoiled his hand back like Inuyasha had spat on him and looked up raising an eyebrow at the silver haired boy.

"Inuyasha."

"Excuse me?" He asked.

He let out an annoyed sigh. "My name is Inuyasha."

"Inuyasha?!" Kagome's three prying friends squealed. They grabbed Kagome and huddled around her.

"Kagome chan, isn't he that bipolar, selfish, possessive, two-timing jerk of a boyfriend of your's?" Eri questioned. Kagome blushed and narrowed her eyes at them all.

"NO!" She yelled a little too loudly. She lowered her voice. "Well, maybe....."

"Kagome, now couldn't be a better time to break it off with him!!! You have to!" Yuka ordered.

"Guys, stop, that isn't very nice!" Kagome hissed back.

"Come on, you said he was a jerk yourself! You deserve someone like Hojo!" Argued Ayuma.

"Yeah! We don't want you to get hurt, that's all!" Eri chimed in. Before Kagome could make another point, her friends got up and strode to Inuyasha.

"No, stop!" She begged.

"Hey!" They said circling the hanyou.

"Hey what?" He asked.

"From this point on, we don't want you seeing Kagome anymore you two-timer!" Eri told him, poking him in the stomach. Inuyasha starred really confused.

"Okay guys, that's really enough!" Kagome Barked pushing them away.

"But Kags, the truth will set you free!!!!!!!!!!" They yelled back.

"SHUT UP!!!" She hollered. 'Why do I hang out with them sometimes?' She asked herself. She watched them run to a boy they all had their eye on and began to crowd him.

"Thank kami that's over." She sighed. Now what to do with Hojo? If he didn't watch it, Inuyasha might just go Tetsuaiga all up in his ass! Kagome started to panic, but was brought back down to Earth when a hand tapped her on the shoulder. She turned her head to face the hand that belonged to Sango. The slayer motioned over to Inuyasha and Hojo.

"Well, I happen to think that Inuyasha is a cool name!" The dog boy yelled in Hojo's face.

"It means dog demon!! Were your parents stupid or something?!"

'oh god, oh god, oh god....' Was the thought on everyone's mind as they heard Hojo cross that line single-handedly give a new meaning to pissed off. No one brought up his parents and they especially never called them stupid. Inuyasha felt his blood start to boil as his hand reached for the hilt of his sword, eyes never leaving Hojo's. Now the boy knew he was royally screwed. Oh yes, royally screwed with a big golden crown on top. He backed away from the looming boy in front of him.

"Oh man...." Shippou whispered, his grip on Sango's shoulder tightening. Only he heard and smelt the increasing threat in Inuyasha. He could here a low growl that only other youkai could here. It basically meant the opposer was worm food. He could also smell the rage radiating off him. Kagome stepped up and put a hand on his shoulder, half comforting him, half holding him back for dear life. (Or more to the point, Hojo's dear life)

"Now Inuyasha.....let's be reasonable...." She started. Then she glared at Hojo. "That really was a mean thing to say. You don't even know his story or what happened to his mom and dad!"

"Okay, I'm sorry! Jeeze! I guess I'll put a rain check on that movie date Higurashi. Bye." He tore out of there like there was no tomorrow. If he came around again and said something like that, she'd hold down Hojo and let Inuyasha gut him. The hanyou's growls subsided and he took his hand off his sword and brushed off Kagome's hand.

"Huh." He snorted. "Like that fag boy could really get to me anyways. And what did he mean by movie date?" He asked eying Kagome.

"Um, that's really not important now!" She smiled nervously with a huge sweat drop on the back of her head. Within three hours they went in and out of various stores, always coming back with more and more overstuffed bags. Now it was time to get home. Kagome pulled out her cell phone and called up her mom.

"Mom? Yeah, it's me. Well, I think we're done. My pocket book is totally empty." She laughed. They made their way to the main entrance where her mom waited for them, and left for home.

"Did you kids have fun?" She asked.

"YEAH!!!!!!" They replied happily.

"That's good to hear! Kagome, I hope you picked some things out for spring break in a few weeks." She said.

"Yup, got everything we needed and then some." Kagome told her mom.

"Okay, hop in guys. Let's go home!" Mrs. Higurashi started up the car and began the drive back.
