Shopping is a Dangerous Thing

Saturday, January 21, 2006, at precisely 12:00 PM, Inuyasha and Miroku finally learned the meaning of the phrase “Shop `till you drop” in the most excruciating and ghastly way (for men) possible. Having to experience it on a first-hand basis.

“Are you two ever going to stop?” Miroku whined though his words were muffled by the several shopping bags he was carrying.

“I swear when I get home, I'll look down and see my feet bleeding to death!” Inuyasha grumbled as best as he can through the several bags and boxes laid in his arms.

Both girls pretended to not hear them at all. They just kept on running from store to store, grabbing everything they liked on every rack, shelf, or wherever the merchandises were placed. Who cares? Completely oblivious to their surroundings and the two worn-out men doing the best that they can to keep up with the hyper shoppers, Kagome and Sango didn't notice their boyfriends lost in the sea of people until they got out of the store both with outstretched hands carrying new purchases, apparently waiting for the two to hold them. Looking around in confusion, Kagome pulled out her cellphone and dialed Inuyasha's number.

“Where are you guys?” Kagome practically screamed in the phone with Sango leaning on her with her ear glued on Kagome's phone.

Inuyasha cringed at the volume of her voice and had to hold the phone away from his sensitive ears. When silence covered the other line, he slowly put the phone back against his ears and grumbled,

“Keh! It's not my fault. Miroku got so hungry that he plucked a French fry from a kid and because of that he earned a furious blow from the mother when she hears her child crying his eyes out, causing him to fall unconscious down on the floor.”

“Well, you could've called me before we start worrying our heads off!” Sango hollered on the phone thatshe snatched away from Kagome after hearing Inuyasha's response.

“How the hell was I suppose to reach my phone in my pocket when I'm carrying all your useless stuff!”

Kagome took her phone back and said,

“We'll meet you at the food court then at 15 minutes. No excuses!”

Kagome flipped her cell phone close and continued walking with Sango to the Food Court. The girls left a confused hanyou rooted on the spot as he closed his phone with a sleeping monk on his feet. With a furious grunt he shook Miroku's shoulder furiously to wake him up. Miroku sat up rubbing a bump on his head only to watch Inuyasha already speeding away towards the Food Court. Picking up every bag and box scattered around him, he scrambled up and yelled,

“Wait for me Inuyasha!” while he maneuvered his way towards the ocean of shoppers.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

AT THE FOOD COURT

When Inuyasha and Miroku finally arrived at the food court, Inuyasha sniffed the air and found the girls sitting on the table at the center of the court. Panting, with the bags and boxes jumping up and down, the boys sat across from their girlfriends and let out an exhausted sigh.

“Tired? Already?” Kagome snickered giving Inuyasha his beverage while casually sipping her own drink.

“We're not even halfway done yet.” Sango smirked setting her cup down on the table and sliding Miroku's soda across the table.

The boys gratefully slurped their drinks in one gulp when the girls' comments sank in. Miroku sprayed soda all over the table and straight at Sango with his eyes bulging out. Because of whether the comment or his slip, maybe both, Miroku didn't know. He just knew that he wished his legs were strong enough to save him from Sango's wrath.

“Halfway!” Inuyasha choked and sputtered disbelief clear on his face, “Those purchases are what you call the result of only shopping halfway!” pointing at the monstrosity under the table. The table that was reaching its limits into successfully hiding the bags from poking out and maybe splitting the table in half from the enormous bulge.

The girls laughed heartily until tears came out of their eyes and hands were pressed on their sides.

“Just what the fuck is so damn funny?" Inuyasha barked, confusion and impatience etched in his face.

Miroku nodded indicating the same question with bewilderment drawn in his face. Both girls stopped laughing immediately when they noticed Inuyasha's irate glower. Kagome shot up from her seat and proceeded to sit on Inuyasha's lap, immediately rubbing one of his fuzzy ears hoping to calm him down…or at least stop his devious plans of murder to her and Sango. She knew she was treading on dangerous grounds but she knew that if he didn't come up with a deal, she would make him do something he'll regret later. Inuyasha flicked his ear away from her touch and jerked his head when she reached for him again. Smiling sweetly, she wrapped her hand around Inuyasha's neck and said in an exaggerated puppy voice, “We are very, very sorry.” Mischief twinkled in her eye and a smile tugged at the corners of her lips.

“Will you tell me how to make it up to you? Hmmm?” she asked in a seductive tone while she delicately traced her finger through the thin fabric of his red shirt. Inuyasha trembled under her touch and she made him become more uncomfortable when she gently traced his collarbone, her skin only a whisper away form his own. He growled and bit his lip…hard, in efforts of stopping himself form taking her right there and then in front of his friends and all the other people. Quickly regaining his composure, he leaned back, causing Kagome's hand to drop to his chest, the other still cradling his neck.

“And what makes you think I'll let you talk me into anything after this?” he growled skeptically.

Kagome once again wrapped her hands around his neck and gently stroke the back of his neck with her heated palm. She pulled his face close to hers and nuzzled his cheek, whispering so only he could hear, “I promise I'll be a good little girl…your good little girl…” She pulled back and stared up into his eyes, now the color of molten gold. She gasped at the mixture of emotions clouding his eyes. Impatience, desperation, adoration, desire, want, and violent need, all flowing together in a hurricane of raging tide, swirling dangerously from the depths of his amber eyes and shooting straight to Kagome's chocolate brown eyes. Inuyasha's fierce gaze then dropped to her rosy lips and shuddered when Kagome flicked her tongue out to give moisture to her now-surprisingly-dry lips. She felt so vulnerable under his fiery gaze and the all-too-familiar heat surged and rolled in her lower half, making her flutter her eyes in pleasure.

`How can he do that just by looking at me? He shouldn't be allowed to do that.'

Dipping his head, he captured her lips with intense ferocity and tenderness. She sighed against his lips as he gently caressed her lips. She whimpered when he gently nibbled and licked her lower lip, begging for entrance. Her hands sank into Inuyasha's hair losing her fingers in his thick silver mane as she willingly opened her mouth to his probing tongue. Inuyasha marveled at the sweet taste of raspberries as he delved in deeper into Kagome's mouth and drew soft moans and whines from the girl. Inuyasha tenderly stroked her cheek making Kagome tremble when his claws lightly grazed her neck. The couple continued their activity, completely oblivious to their surroundings.

Smack! Thump!

Wrenching her mouth away from Inuyasha's with her cheeks flushed and lips swollen from the scorching kiss, she turned to see Miroku sprawled on the ground with a fresh red handprint on his cheek with Sango towering over him, fire and heat radiating off of her in strong waves. Inuyasha shook his head as Kagome got up from the comfort of his lap and strode over to Sango trying to calm her down. The violent sound of the slap attracted a lot of the crowd's attention. A screaming mom scolded her son to get away from the vicious Sango. When she finally cooled down a bit, Miroku started coming around and looked confusedly around until he met two lethal hazel eyes ablaze with so much fury that Miroku swore his eyes reduced to ashes with the glare she was giving him.

Kagome managed to soothe Sango a bit and escorted her to the table as they both took a seat beside each other in the table. Inuyasha strode over to Miroku and helped him up while muttering incoherent words, which oddly sounded like `fucking clueless' and `unwanted interruptions'. Thinking that it's best not to provoke Sango right now, she mouthed to Kagome,

“We'll be right back.” and pointed to another booth on the other side of the room.

Kagome nodded her head in acknowledgement and turned her attention back to Sango, who was still shooting murderous glares at Miroku as she furiously squeezed the life out of her empty cup, probably imagining that the cup was Miroku that she was choking to death. Kagome winced at the action and even Inuyasha seemed to be intimidated with her performance. Shooting Miroku a fierce glower, Inuyasha gestured for Miroku to follow him and hopefully knock some sense into his dense head.
