‘This is so embarrassing.’ InuYasha thought to himself as they walked through the lingerie isles of Value Village or ‘Ghetto K-Mart’ as InuYasha called it.

“Daaad...we’re getting looks again.” InuYasha complained. Then, a strange image came to his mind...'AHHH!' He thought to himself 'Farmers with pitchforks! Farmers with PITCHFORKS!' the thought was so disturbing it elicited an "AHHH!" out of him

“What...what’s wrong?” InuTaisho asked frantically.

InuYasha looked over his shoulder but not liking what he saw, turned his attention back to the tighty-whities his father was telling him to try on.

'Ewww…I hate this place' InuYasha thought as he silently vowed to burn it to a crisp.

“Mom...can’t we leave yet? You know I hate these upper-class stores.” The young woman pleaded but her mother didn’t seem to notice.

“Oh, sweetie! This would look great on you!” Kagome cringed as she looked at the pea-green sweater her mother held out to her. “Well...what are you waiting for? Go try it on! Oh wait...do you want me come in with you dear?”

“No mother...I’m just fine to go in by myself.” Kagome really didn’t want to try on the sweater. “Um...mommy...err...I don’t want to...um...try it on.”

“What? Why not? What’s wrong with it?”

“Well...um...it reminds me of the bath water after Ji-Chan washes his feet!”

“Kago...” Her mother began but she was cut-off. “Kagome...? Do you hear that?”

“Yea but what is it?” Kagome was attracted to the noise. It almost sounded like...singing? No...It couldn’t be. IT was way too much like fingers and chalkboards to be singing...right?

Kagome and Ms. Higarashi walked toward the noise and found a handsome young man standing on a stage with a microphone in his left hand.

“You are so beautiful, to me. Can’t you see...?” He sang. The young man looked about Kagome’s age. He had beautiful dark brown hair and the deepest blue eyes Kagome had ever seen. Kagome wasn’t at all impressed when she saw him however. The man finished the song he was singing and hopped off the stage. “Oh. Hello. I didn’t know I had an audience.”

“You sing beautifully.” Ms. Higarashi stated with a far off look on her face.

“Well thank you Ma’am. I’m glad you enjoyed that. It’s one of my favorites.” He spoke to Ms. Higarashi but looked deeply into Kagome’s eyes. “Hello. My name is Kouga. I work as an entertainer/guide here at the mall. Is there anything I can assist you with?”

“No. We’re just fine. We don’t need your help. Common Mother. Let’s go.”

“Kagome! I’m surprised at you! Stop being so rude and invite Mr. Kouga to dinner!” Kagome’s mother demanded.

“But Mother” Kagome pleaded “I don’t want to, we don't even know him”

“Now Kagome.” Her mother said warningly.

“Ok InuYasha, open wide!” Dr. Totosai began prodding around inside the hanyou’s mouth. “MmmHmm...Ooh...I see I see...MmmHmm...MmmHmm...”

“Gar woo down wet?” InuYasha could hardly speak with the dentist poking his teeth. “OW! Dat hoiwt! You bwoody maniwac! Yow’re not suppoised ta kill me!”

“InuYasha. I’m only trying to find the source of your pain." Dr. Totosai stuck his gloved hand in his mouth again. “Tell me when it hurts.”

“OW! Alwight it hoiwts!” InuYasha said Dr. Totosai walked over to the counter on the other side of the dentist room. Just then InuTaisho came in the room.

“Totosai! I didn’t know you were a dentist! How are you? I haven’t seen you in a while.” The two men continued their conversation while InuYasha lay on the dentist chair.

“Well, InuTaisho, Your son seems to have one heck of a toothache. I imagine he’s in a bit of pain. He shouldn’t eat anything too crunchy and nothing too cold. He should also stay away from candies and gums. Tell him to take this medicine and he should be fine in a week or so.” The old dentist explained.

“How is he to go to school? I don’t have to call in sick for him do I?” InuTaisho became a little worried at this thought. InuYasha couldn’t afford to miss much school.

“No no. He’ll be fine to go to school.”

“Thank you Totosai. Come on InuYasha. We have to finish your back to school shopping. InuYasha cringed.

‘O Kami, please, no more lingerie in Ghetto K-Mart. Please.’ InuYasha silently prayed.
