Chapter 4
The morning sun filtered in through the leaves of the tree and through the window to warm the face of a peacefully sleeping Kagome. She awoke to the warm tingling sensation on her face. She slowly tried to open her eyes, but upon seeing the sun quickly slammed them back shut.
“Go away!” she moaned at the offending light. It was too early for the sun to rise. In her mind, it was still midnight, seeing as how she didn’t get home until almost 4 o’clock in the morning.
“Kagome…Kagome!! Are you still asleep??” came her Grandpa’s voice over the pounding on the door.
“I’m not asleep! I’m just resting my eyes!” she yelled and covered her head with a pillow. The man was always up before dawn and seemed to find it a sin to sleep past 7AM.
“Kagome!!! I have to leave soon….the taxi will be here any minute and I want to talk to you before it gets here!!” Kagome sighed. She had forgotten Grandpa was leaving today. He was going to another one of his shrine convention things. Suppose it made sense considering they lived on a shrine, but it seemed like he spent more time at other shrines than his own.
“I’ll be right there,” she yelled to him and slowly sat up. She yawned and stretched before pulling back the covers and climbing out of bed. She was so tired her legs felt like they were made of lead and her eyes didn’t seem to want to stay open. She slowly made her way over to her closet where she found her robe and slipped it on over her pajamas. She looked at her reflection in the mirror and tried to brush away her bed hair. When that didn’t work she resorted to putting it back in a ponytail, just so she looked a tad more presentable. She wouldn’t go to extreme matters, seeing as how she planned on crawling back into bed once she saw Grandpa off. She yawned one last time before opening the door. Since Grandpa wasn’t there she assumed he went back downstairs to eat some breakfast before his trip. The scent of bacon hit her nose, waking her up a bit more and making her stomach grumble in anticipation. She first went to the bathroom to use the toilet and wash her face hoping it would help her eyes stay open a bit longer. Finally, she made her way down stairs and to the kitchen where she plopped into a chair at the table.
“There you are! What took you so long? Maybe this will teach you not to stay out ‘til the wee hours of the night,” he stated, nodding his head matter-of-factly. Kagome yawned again. She was about to say something in return when she was handed a plate full of eggs, bacon and a couple pieces of toast. All other thoughts forgotten she started to eat. Grandpa had barely finished his eggs when Kagome got up to help herself to a second helping of bacon. Just then, they both heard a horn honking from out front.
“That must be the taxi.” Grandpa said, rising from his chair. Kagome walked him to the door where he put on his shoes and grabbed his suitcase.
“You know the rules, Kagome. No parties, no demons….” he started.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’ve been hearing since I was like 12. I get it. Have a safe trip and enjoy yourself.” She said pecking on the cheek and sending him through the door. She stood on the porch and waved as the taxi drove off. She sighed and walked back inside with every intention of snuggling back under the covers and slipping silently into dreamland once again.
‘I bet the blankets are still warm…’ she thought to herself as she made her way upstairs. She would get to the dishes later, right now all she cared about was catching up on her beauty sleep.
No sooner had she snuggled comfortably under her fluffy comforter did the phone ring. She moaned and decided to let it ring. They would hang up eventually. But they didn’t, it just kept ringing and ringing until she could take it no longer. She angrily threw back the covers and stormed down the stairs to the phone.
“Hello?” she answered, trying not to sound too pissed off. *Click*
“Hello…Hello???” No answer. They hung up!! After all the trouble she went through, they have the nerve to hang up!! She growled to herself and turned to head back up the stairs. She was almost to the top when there was a knock at the door. It seemed as if the whole world was against her sleep. The knocking continued and she made her way over to the door. She opened it to be greeted by the smiling face of Miroku.
“Good morning, Kagome,” he greeted her cheerfully. “I saw your Grandpa leave. I tried to call, but there was no answer.”
“That was you on the phone??” Kagome asked though gritted teeth.
“Well, yes…” he didn’t have time to finish as Kagome bopped him hard on the head with her first. Before he even knew what hit him she had already started up the stairs.
“Ow, Kagome what was that for?? Where are you going??” he said, following quickly after her.
“I’m going back to bed.”
“But…I thought we were going to hang out today? Have you forgotten, it’s the last day of summer vacation. Come on now, you can’t break tradition,” Miroku explained, a goofy smile once again gracing his face. He was right, it was tradition. Ever since Miroku moved next door to the shrine in elementary school, they would do their last minute school shopping together then go out to dinner. She sighed. This would be the last time they would be able to do this, considering they were now high school seniors and would be going to college next year.
“Let me get ready quick. Then we can go,” she said at last. Miroku simply nodded as she finished climbing the stairs. He didn’t hesitate to make himself right at home, grabbing a coke from the fridge and flopping down on the couch to flip on the T.V. This could take a while.
Kagome took her sweet time getting ready. She figured she had to get back at Miroku someway. Since she couldn’t send him home and go back to bed, she’d make him wait. She sighed, she probably wouldn’t have been able to go back to sleep anyway at that point. She had already showered and was in her room, towel wrapped around her naked form as she chose an outfit to wear out. She knew she would be trying on clothes, seeing as how she needed at least one new outfit for school. So, she opted for a pair of jeans, a pink and white baby-tee and some slip on sneakers. She tied her hair back in a ponytail to keep it from frizzing. Last, picked up her crystal pendant. She stared at it for a moment, reveling in its simplistic beauty before carefully placing it around her neck and clasping it firmly. She walked down the stairs to find Miroku asleep on the couch. Two cans of soda and a bag of chips on the coffee table, some crumbs on his shirt. She stood in front of him, hands on her hips, tapping her foot impatiently.
“Oh no you don’t,” she yelled grabbing his arm. “If I can’t sleep, neither can you!” She pulled his arm hard, succeeding in pulling him off the couch and onto the floor with a loud thump.
“Ow……I wasn’t *yawn* sleeping. I was resting my eyes,” he said, standing and rubbing his now sore backside gingerly.
“Don’t even try that, that’s my line. Are you finally ready?”
“You’re asking me! I was the one waiting for you!!”
“Well, are you?” she asked in mock impatience.
“No, I have to use your bathroom. Those sodas ran right through me.” he said over his shoulder as he ran to the bathroom. Kagome rolled her eyes.
“Well hurry up!!” She sat down on the sofa and looked at the T.V. for the first time. At first glance it looked only to be fuzz. But if you looked closely, you could just make two girls going at it.
“Perv,” she said under her breath and rolling her eyes as she turned off the television.
Twenty minutes later they finally arrived at the mall. It was about noon time and it was packed with parents happily doing last minute school shopping so they could ship their children off to hell without having to worry.
“Yay! The mall, now, to Forever 21!!” Kagome exclaimed happily as she skipped in the direction of her favorite clothing store.
“Kagome, wait, I thought we were only here for school supplies?” Miroku asked, trying to avoid the whole clothing situation.
“We are. Clothes are school supplies, silly. And I need another outfit,” she said with a goofy grin on her face. Miroku groaned and followed her to the store with his head down. If there’s one thing he’s learned after all these years, it’s not to try and talk Kagome out of clothes shopping. It was like talking to a brick wall. It wasn’t even as if he could sit outside and wait. No, she wanted his opinion on the outfits she chose. Leaving him to sit outside the dressing room for at least a half an hour while she tried on outfit after outfit. He sighed. Better get it done and over with.
----------------------------------------------
“Inuyasha!!! Wake up!! You promised!!!!” Sango yelled, pounding on Inuyasha’s bedroom door. Ignoring the curses emanating from behind the door she continued her rampage.
“INUYASHA!!!! Open this door and get your ass out here now!!!!!!!! You promised to take me to the mall to finish my shopping!!!!!!!!!! I won’t let you back out of it!!! So get out here….NOW!!!!”
Inuyasha groaned. She’s right he did promise, that didn’t mean he wanted to go. He was like her portable closet as she handed him the bags upon bags of clothes she bought, or clothes that she wanted to try on. He didn’t know what on earth possessed him to make such a nightmarish promise, but he couldn’t back out of it now. The pounding continued and he groaned again.
“ALRIGHT!! Alright!!! I’ll be right out!!” he yelled back and the pounding finally stopped. He sighed and started to drift back to sleep when the banging started up again.
“Don’t you dare fall asleep again!!! Get your ass up and out here!!! If you’re not ready and downstairs in fifteen minutes I will knock down this door and beat your ass!!!” Sango threatened before, satisfied, left him to get ready. Inuyasha cringed. He knew she meant every word of it too. He tried to ignore her once before and it wasn’t pretty. He was left without a door for almost a week as they tried to find a replacement. He tried to sit up and could barely move. His neck was so stiff and so sore. That’s when he remembered he had slept without a pillow. He slowly sat up and glared at the offending pillow laying innocently on the floor where he left it after throwing it at Sango.
“This is all your fault,” he told it as he tried to rub away the knot in his neck. He jumped up from the bed, remembering Sango’s threat and search his room for clothes. He threw on the first things he could find, a pair of blue jeans and a red tee-shirt. He quickly ran a brush through his long, knotted hair and slipped on a pair of black and red Etnies. He ran to the bathroom, did his business and brushed his teeth before bolting downstairs.
“You’re lucky,” Sango told him as he sat across from her at the table. She looked at her watch. “You only had 30 seconds left before I came up to beat you out of bed.” Inuyasha didn’t say a word and just wolfed down his bowl of cereal. When they had both finished their breakfast they were off.
“So Sango, what are you after?” Inuyasha asked, keeping his eyes on the road.
“School supplies,” she answered simply. He knew it couldn’t be that easy, there had to be a catch.
“What kind of school supplies?” he asked, suspicion evident in his voice.
“You know, the usual, pens, pencils, paper, clothes, shoes….” she trailed off.
“I knew it!!” he said accusingly. “Couldn’t you have gone clothes shopping earlier with your friend??”
“Well, I did get some clothes, but I need more. And no, I can’t go later because tomorrow is our first day at a new school and I need to find an outfit.”
“Can’t you just wear one of the other outfits you bought?” Inuyasha practically begged.
“No!! The outfit for first day can’t just be any old thing! Jeez Inuyasha, don’t you know anything?!” she exclaimed.
“Keh, “ was Inuyasha’s only response. He pulled into a spot that just opened near the door and got out. Sango followed.
“Alright, where to first??” Sango asked as she looked down each hallway.
“Let’s get the worst part over first so I can enjoy the rest of my day.” Inuyasha said, obviously not happy about having to shop for clothes, girl’s clothes no less.
“Okay then, Forever 21 it is!!” she exclaimed happily as they made their way towards one of her favorite stores.
