Chapter 6:

I <3 Shopping!!

 

*ring, ring*

Kagome rolls over on her bed.

*ring, ring*

Kagome groans out loud.

*ring, ri- *

GRRR

“HELLO?” Kagome grumbles into her cell phone.

“Kagome, dear?”

“Oh, hi, Mama,” Kagome mumbles as she yawns.

“Did I wake you, dear?”

“Not…really…what time is it, Mama?” Kagome inquired.

“It's 11:00 a.m. right now.”

“11:00 a.m.!?” Kagome exclaimed.

`This is what I get for staying up all night talking to Sango and Miroku' Kagome thought.

They'd talk all night and became quick and close friends. Kagome had learned that Sango had a younger brother, Kohaku; they came from a clan of demon slayers. Sango and her brother were put in the Foster Care System after their parents died but they were separated. Sango came here to work as a maid. As for Kohaku, she hasn't heard from him in almost a year.

Miroku, she learned, used to be an amorous traveling monk. But, he was still an amorous monk. She also learned another thing: he liked to ask every single girl he came across the same question,” Will you bear my child?” Of course, he groped her when he asked her this question. Kagome shook her head.

“How are you and Souta doing?”

And, Kagome relayed all that happened the day before.

~

“Sango and I are going shopping today at 12 p.m. for something to wear tonight.” Kagome said, bubbly.

“What about your brother, dear? I didn't pack anything like that for him.” Mama said worriedly.

“I think Dad's taking him and Miroku later on too. No need to worry, Mama.”

“Alright, dear. Have fun, I have to go now. Give a hug and kiss to Souta for me and say hello to your father.Bye, sweetheart.”

“Bye, Mama.”

*click*

Kagome sat up on the edge of the bed and stretched her arms upward.

“Ah, now to take a quick shower!”

~

Kagome had just finished taking the bath and now she stood in front of her open armoire with a towel wrapped around her.

`Hmm, what should I wear today..' Kagome mused before chosing a gray denim skirt that reached her calves and a loose, bright yellow with a graphic picture, off-the-shoulders shirt, comfortable sandals and silver hoop earrings.

*knock, knock*

“Come in.”

“Hi, Kagome-chan, are you ready? Your father's waiting for you downstairs,” said Sango as she poked her head in.

“Hi, Sango-chan. Yep, I'm ready.”

Sango and Kagome left her room to go downstairs. As they were walking, Sango asked, “Are you excited, Kagome?”

“Yeah but I'm nervous too…”

“There's nothing to be nervous about. The people in this town are very nice,” said Sango, smiling at Kagome.

“Well, ok. Dad said that he had a business partner with two sons and a daughter. What can you tell me about them?” Kagome inquired.

“Ah, the Taishos'. Well, they are a very prominent and rich family. Mr. Touga Inu no Taisho is the great dog demon that rules the western land, he's very sophisticated but he's not stuck up. His second wife, Izayoi, is a beautiful human woman who was also born into a rich family. Although, it was an arranged marriage, they love each other very much. His first wife, I'm not sure what her name is, left him because of some family problems. They did have a child together, though. The eldest, his name is Sesshomaru; he's handsome but emotionally distant and cold. He hates humans, so it's better to stay away from him. The youngest, Inuyasha, a hanyou, is rash and hot-headed but he's really nice and gentle on the inside; he got that from his mother,” Sango said, grinning at me,” You'll like him…hopefully. And, there's little Rin, she is the young girl Sesshomaru saved from wolf demons. She's a very sweet girl and definitely knows more than we give her credit for. You'll love her!”

“ The Inu no Taisho? The dog demon general of the western lands, huh? How does Dad know all of these ppl?” Kagome mumbled under her breath.

“Sango? You seem to know a lot about Inuyasha. Do you like him?”

Sango stuttered,”N-no, we're just good friends.”

Kagome grinned,” I'm just kidding; besides, I know you've got the hots for Miroku.”

Kagome winks at Sango. Sango blushes and tries to deny it. Kagome says,” Nuh uh, that's not gonna work on me. I know you like him, but don't worry, I won't tell him.”

 

~

Kagome entered the living room and as expected, she was astonished. This room was very modern with its white walls, a marble fireplace and plush couches and loveseats. There was a brown wooden coffee table in the middle of the room. Kenji and Miroku were already sitting on the couches, waiting for the girls.

Kenji greets,” There you are girls, now we just need Souta.”

“Dad, don't you know? Speak of the devil and he shall appear?” And appear he did.

“Sis!” yelled the bundle of Souta that flew and attached onto Kagome. Kagome ruffled his hair and gave him a kiss and hug from their mother. Kenji signaled for Miroku to go get the car.

“Mama says hello, Dad.”

“Ah, she called you, then?” Kenji asked his beloved daughter. Kagome's parent's marriage dying out was mainly one-sided. Sometimes, it would seem like Kenji yearned for his ex-wife.

~

“Sooooo, what's the schedule for today?” asked Kagome.

Kenji replied,” We're heading into town to the mall. We'll split up and meet each other at-,” he glances at his watch,” 5 p.m.”

“Is 5 hours enough for you, Sis,” Souta teased.

“Souta!” cried Kagome, as she pulled him into a headlock and gave him a noogie. Everyone laughed at the childish antics.

“We're here, Master Kenji.” Miroku stated as he pulled up to the glass door of the huge and prominent mall. Kagome and Sango got out of the car as the men stayed inside.

“We're going to a tailor store near the center of the town, we'll be back later. Here,” Kenji said, handing Kagome a Visa credit card,” spend as much as you like, you too Sango.”

“Oh, Dad, you are so gonna regret this.” Kagome said, grinning. Souta groaned, while Kenji just smiled, thinking it was just a joke.

“Bye, honey,” replied Kenji as the car pulled away.

Souta turned toward a window and blew hot air onto it before etching the words:

Kagome + shopping= daddy goin' broke

~

The girls entered the mall and immediately, Kagome thought of a past vacation trip to Beverly Hills, California and the newly remodeled Forever 21 stores . Everything was sparkling. The stores all had clean glass windows and doors. All of the items or products in the store were placed carefully to compliment each other. It was beautiful.

 

“So where should we go first, Kagome?” Sango asked the younger girl.

“Forever 21!” Kagome replied, dragging Sango into the store. Kagome breezed through every single store trying everything on and by 4:00 p.m. both Kagome and Sango had bags hanging from each arm. As they were walking towards the water fountain on the second floor, the most prominent store caught Kagome's eyes. She rushed towards the store and gazed at the beautiful party dresses.

“Hey, Sango, what would you think of the colors red and pink?” Kagome said, grinning mischieviously.

“Well, I like red and pink.”

“Do you mind if I chose your dress for you?” Kagome inquired.

“A-am I going to regret it?” Sango asked, terrified.

“Not at all, not at all,” Kagome said with a gleam in her eyes.

 

~

The girls finished their shopping but Kagome refused to show Sango the dresses she picked out. They wandered around trying to find the place they decided to meet with the boys. Sango was walking up ahead while Kagome was trailing behind looking at her surroundings. All of a sudden, someone collided into her, a force strong enough to send her sprawling on the floor. When she looked up, Kagome was stunned. A boy around the age of 19 was looking condescendingly down at her. He had silver hair that reached past his backside and a crescent moon tattoo on his forehead and magenta stripes on his cheeks and arms; he was a demon, which meant he was easily taller than her 5 foot 3 inches. The boy was wearing an expensive silk dress shirt and black dress pants; and it suited him, very, very well. He was beautiful. And, oddly, he looked faintly familiar.But of course, the image was ruined when he said,” Watch where you are going, filthy human,” instead of helping her up.

Kagome jumped up and was prepared to give him a piece of her mind when she noticed he already left. Kagome huffed and left to find Sango.

 

 

-With the mystery boy-

`That girl… I've never seen her here before yet… she seems… familiar.'

 

~

Kagome found Sango after running around the mall. Sango, along with Kenji, Miroku, and Souta were waiting by a large water fountain.

“Where'd you go, Kagome?”

“Um, I got a little lost.”

“Alright, let's go home,” said Kenji.

 

 

~

Kagome and Sango had just finished taking a long bubble bath and were preparing for the party.

“So, Kagome, can I see the dress now?” Sango asked.

“Hmm, ok,” Kagome grabbed two bags off of the table she'd left them on when they got home.

“Here you go, Sango, I got a couple more dresses that I'm not going to show you until there's another occasion,” Kagome winked as she gave one of the bags to Sango. Kagome pulled her dress out of the bag and slipped it on. Kagome's dress was a black and gold calf-length cocktail dress. There was a gold sash adorning just below her breasts. Gold threads laced down to the hem of the dress. Kagome opened another bag and pulled out a shoe box. She sat down on the edge of her bed to slip her gold high heels on.

“Oh! Kagome, it's beautiful!” Sango exclaimed when she saw her dress. She pulled the dress on and looked at the full-length mirror to admire the red dress that faded to pink and white as it got closer to the hem. There was a small red bow just below her breasts. Kagome grinned, pulling a shoebox with similar red high heels.

“I've got the perfect necklace for you, Sango,” Kagome said, moving to her jewelry box before pulling a white choker with a red heart charm and gave it to Sango.

“Thanks, Kagome, your father told me to give this to you, he said Souta picked it,” Sango said, giving Kagome a large, black velvet box. Kagome opened it and gasped. Inside the box was a beautiful crescent moon, with a crystal diamond on the corner of the moon, necklace. In the middle of the charm was a real four leaf clover. On the back of the necklace, words were engraved onto the curve of the crescent moon.

Destiny awaits…

“Wow, it's pretty but I wonder what the engraving means…”Kagome whispered as she put the necklace on. She and Sango then moved onto putting their make up on. Kagome decided to go with black eyeliner and mascara which accentuated her dark, stormy blue eyes and exotic features. Sango went with black eyeliner, pink eye shadow and mascara.

“Wow. I wonder what Miroku would say,” Kagome commented, winking at Sango, who blushes.

“By the way, I have to get going now,” Sango said, nonchalantly.

“What? I thought we were going to go together?” Kagome said, disappointed.

“Your father wanted you and your brother to make an entrance alone.”

“Oh, well, I guess it can't be helped, where are we going anyways?” Kagome inquired.

“The ballroom, of course,” Sango replied before leaving Kagome to herself.

`Figures, there's a ballroom.'

~

Kagome leaves her room a few minutes later and walks down the winding concrete stairs, her heels clinking all the way. Just as she steps onto the last stair, Kagome catches a glimpse of Kenji and Souta. Kagome jogs up to them, yelling,” Dad! Souta! Wait for me!”

Kagome catches up to them, panting a bit, and hugs her father, “Thanks, Dad, for the necklace,” fingering the crescent.

“Thanks to you too, Souta,” Kagome says, ruffling Souta's hair, which makes him blush. Kagome then noticed their attire. Kenji and Souta were wearing suits, white dress shirts with black ties. Kagome nods her approval.

“Let's go!” Souta says impatiently.

 

~

The large oak doors to the ballroom opened and every single head turned. Kagome and Souta, who had grabbed her hand before they entered, along with their father entered. They made their way down the stairs as the guests followed their every move. Kenji started to speak,” Welcome, my guests, to my house warming party!” And everyone clapped before Kenji began introducing Kagome and Souta to his nearest guests. Soon, they came upon the Taishos'.

“Kagome, Souta, this is my business partner, Touga Inu no Taisho,” said Kenji, gesturing to the tall silver haired man and the black haired woman next to him,” and this is his wife, Izayoi.” And he said to the Taishos',” These are my children.”

“Pleased to meet you, Touga-san, Izayoi-san,” Kagome said politely, bowing, and nudging the half hidden boy behind her until he whispered his greetings.

“Please, the pleasure's is ours, we've heard a lot about you,” Izayoi said, sweetly, grasping Kagome's hands as her husband nodded.

“Our youngest son, Inuyasha, is here but he's with his friends,” Touga said, before gesturing behind him,” This is our eldest, Sesshomaru and his ward, Rin.”

Imagine Kagome's surprise when Sesshomaru appeared to be the rude boy who had collided into her earlier that day.

“It's YOU!” Kagome exclaimed. Sesshomaru also appeared shocked, however, he did not look like he hated humans with the young girl wearing an orange and green sundress, who was currently blinking as she sat upon his lap.

“You two know each other?” Kenji voiced his question.

“We met this afternoon-“Sesshomaru started in his velvet voice.

“-when he so rudely collided into me and called me a filthy human,” huffed Kagome.

“Sesshomaru!” Izayoi gasped as his father looked at him sternly.

“My deepest apologies,” Sesshomaru said. Kagome huffed but was startled when Rin climbed off of Sesshomaru's lap and came up to Kagome. She tugged on Kagome's dress and said,” Hello, pretty lady. Rin's name is Rin. What's your name?” the little girl gave a gap-toothed smile.

“Rin,” Sesshomaru said.

“Rin means, my name is Rin,” said the little girl, cutely. Kagome kneeled down to Rin's eye level and said,” My name is Kagome, and this is my little brother, Souta.”

“Hi, Souta,” said Rin, Souta blushed she gave a little wave. Kagome, Souta, and Rin continued talking.

`This woman…is good with Rin.' Sesshomaru thought, when his inner beast decided, `She would also make a wonderful mate and mother.'

Before Sesshomaru could disagree with his thoughts, another one of Kenji's business partners appeared with his son.

“Ah, Kenji, thank you for inviting us to this party,” said a man in his late 30s'.

“Onigumo,” Kenji's smile strained as Kagome's eyes assessed this man and his son, whose aura shone darkly. Sesshomaru and Touga's lip curled over their sharp fangs as Rin and Souta shrank behind Kagome.

“And who might these two be?” asked the man called Onigumo inquired, gesturing toward Kagome and Souta.

“These are my children, Kagome and Souta.”

Kagome and Souta greeted Onigumo.

“This is my son, Naraku,” introduced Onigumo.

“A pleasure to meet you,” said Naraku, reaching out toward Kagome's hand and kissed it. He held onto her for a bit too long. Sesshomaru gave a barely audible growl which did not unnoticed by the Taishos' or Kenji, Souta or Rin. Which meant, Kagome was the only oblivious one. The air between them was tense until the Onigumos' left.

“I will find Inuyasha,” Sesshomaru stated.

“Sesshomaru, please take Kagome and Souta with you…”said Kenji, silently asking him with his eyes. Sesshomaru nodded and they left to find Inuyasha. When they left, Kenji turned to Touga and his wife and said,” I did not invite Onigumo. How did he know of this!” he was clearly angry.

 

~

The two men whispered to each other.

“We attack at 12:00.”

~

Kagome caught a glimpse of Sango and Miroku talking to a boy with silver hair, who she assumed, was Inuyasha. She approached them, as Sesshomaru, Rin, and Souta followed behind her, and Sango immediately introduced Kagome to Inuyasha.

“Inuyasha, Kagome; Kagome, Inuyasha.”

“Hello,” greeted Kagome, smiling at Inuyasha.

“Oi, what are you smiling at, wench?” Inuyasha said, rudely. A nerve in Kagome's temple twitched before her top blew.

“EXCUSE ME?! What did you say? HUH? Do you want to say that to my face again, punk?!” exploded Kagome.

*snicker/giggle*

“Pretty Kagome and Crazy Inu are funny,” giggled Rin as Sango, Miroku and Souta laughed while Sesshomaru barely smothered a smirk. However, a snort managed to escape him, and Kagome whipped her head towards Sesshomaru. Before she could say anything, a sharp scream pierced through the night.

“UWAHHHHHHH!”

Everyone looked toward the balcony as a woman stumbled back into the room.

“MURDER! THERE' S BEEN A MURDER!”

Suddenly, everyone panicked, there was screaming, and shoving. A heavy set man shoved Kagome and she stumbled. Before she could fall and be trampled on, Sesshomaru caught her and turned to shield her from the mass. Soon, the room was evacuated while a few familiar and not so familiar faces remained. Sesshomaru still held Kagome in his arms but he let go to examine the body. Still stunned, Kagome followed him. When she came up behind Sesshomaru, her whole body shook and she screamed before everything went black.
