Chapter 9
My Lover, to the World

The
day had started out early for Mama, Kagome, and Inuyasha.
They were at the shopping center the moment it opened. Plans had to be made,
meetings had to be arranged, and Inuyasha had to buy more
clothes! Mama seemed to be the only one in good spirits. Kagome couldn�t enjoy
all the hustle and bustle because she was in pain from the stitches, and dizzy
from the pain killers. Inuyasha was confused and
irritated, because of being rushed here and there. Kagome being in pain only
added to his irritation, and the baseball cap was giving him a rash on his
ears. He wanted to kick himself for coming along. He needed clothes according
to everyone, so that part of the trip couldn�t be avoided. However, he had
chosen to help with the wedding preparation. He wanted to understand this world
of hers, but it was all more than he expected.

Moods
had improved by lunch time. Inuyasha was fascinated
by the food court. �What is this?� He said as he stuffed the large triangular
object into his mouth.

�Cheese
pizza,� Kagome sighed, resting her chin in her hand. �You are drinking a cola.
You�ve had a cheeseburger, fried potatoes, a hot dog, and a pretzel. Everything
you have had is called fast food in the United States of America. These are all Western foods.�

�Do
you really think anyone is going to ask me about food?�

�They
might, it is a big part of our culture. It might be good if you slow down on
the taste testing. If you eat much more you are going to get sick.�

He
managed to smile though the pizza sauce that covered his face. �Want to help me
finish it?� He offered her a sauce covered finger.

She
couldn�t help but find it funny. She giggled as she pushed his hand away, �As
tempting as that may sound�no.��

�At
least I�m not scratching my ears. When will Mama get back with that stuff she
went to get for them?�

�It�s
Aloe, Inuyasha,� Mama said as she sat the small
bottle on the table. �I will leave it to you to put it on your ears.� She
looked at the half eaten pizza in his hand. �You�re still eating?�

He
took another bit, and answered thought the food, �Yep.�

�I�ll
get him cleaned up,� Kagome said as she reached for the Aloe. She took hold of
the sauce free section of his arm and tugged. �Come on, let�s go to the
restroom.�

After
getting cleaned up in the men�s room, Inuyasha joined
Kagome in the corridor. The small corridor was long, and disserted.

�I
think you can take your hat off here. This looks like it leads back to the
service entrance. I don�t think anyone will bother us.� She emptied some of the
Aloe into her hand. She swirled her fingers in the lotion and motioned for him
to bend down.

He
ended up squatting in front of her. �Will this hurt?�

�It
should be cool, but it shouldn�t hurt.�

�My
ears are sensitive,� he couldn�t help but twitch as she rubbed the gel into his
skin. �Please tell me you�re almost done.�

�It
would be quicker if you would hold still.�

�I
can�t!� He stood up, �I�ll deal with the itching until we get home,� he
announced as he put the cap back on his head.

�I
only got one ear. Why are you being a baby?��
She protested, but put the cap back on the bottle.

�You�re�tickling
me!� He snapped and turned to walk way.

�Since
when do you get all grumpy over tickling?�

He
felt stupid for yelling at her. She hadn�t done anything wrong. It had been the
stupid hat that started it. If it hadn�t been rubbing his ears raw he wouldn�t
have needed the Aloe. Now they were walking in silence. Funny thing was he knew
that she had no idea about what just happened. He really didn�t want to have
this discussion in the mall, and he was sure that she would figure it out some
other time.

Realizing
that he had to make the first move for a change, Inuyasha
decided to take her hand as they walked.�
It managed to lighten things up like he had hoped, but they were both
tired. They settled on walking in silence while Mama drug
them in and out of store after store.�

It
had been a full hour of shopping for wedding accessories and party supplies
before they focused on buying clothing. Mama felt that it would make the most
sense to get Kagome�s kimono out of the way before working on Inuyasha�s kimono and street clothes. This left Inuyasha without a much needed distraction. Being
surrounded by women�s clothing was making it hard for him to remain patient. He
was starting to fidget more and more as the minutes pasted. The girl behind the
counter was watching him too closely for his tastes and he was trying not to
look her way.

Mama
wanted Inuyasha to see the kimono on Kagome before
she paid for it. It seemed too traditional for Kagome. Kagome was not the
traditional kind of girl. If she thought this, than Inuyasha
might also be thinking it.

Kagome
finally emerged from the tiny room she had disappeared into. She was now
standing before him in a white kimono. Although, the sales woman was having
trouble adjusting the kimono herself, she seemed to be certain that it was the
best kimono in the store. She insisted that everyone would love how it looked.�

�What do you think Inuyasha?�
Kagome looked at him. She turned her body around to give him a good look at the
kimono.

He
started to fidget even more.� �If I say no will she get mad at me? What if
she really likes it? What if Mama
really likes it? Mama is the one we are having the wedding for.� He looked
at Kagome, then to Mama, then back to Kagome, then back to Mama. This went on
for several minutes before Kagome asked what was wrong with him.

�Just
tell her the truth Inuyasha. If you think she would
look better in something else, you can say it,� Mama said trying to encourage
him. She realized that he was afraid to up set either of them, �I have always
wanted her to have a wedding, but it is not up to me to plan this for the both
of you.�

�Kagome, would you be mad if I said I didn�t like it?�

�What don�t you like about it?� she asked as she
looked in the mirror.

�It�s
not you. These old clothes aren�t you. I like the clothes you wear. They make
you look like you.� He looked away out of frustration, �I don�t know how to
explain it to you.�

Kagome
disappeared into the dressing room as Mama took Inuyasha
to look around the store. �You explain yourself better than you give yourself
credit. Now, show me what you would like to see her wear.�

This
was not helping to relieve his nerves, but he wanted to make them both happy.
He looked around at the many manikins. His eyes finally settled on a plain
white dress of western style. It had small straps like the tank tops that she
wore to bed. �Kagome in bed�, he
blushed slightly as he thought about it. He could see her laying there. He
liked her bare shoulder and the way that her hair rested on them.

�I
see that you have found one you like,� Mama waved the sales women over while Inuyasha�s face turned into a solid mask of red.

The
dress was tight across the chest and stomach. The bottom of the dress hung
loose with a small train. He couldn�t take his eyes off her chest. It stood out
so much in the dress.

�It
does fell more comfortable than the kimono. I guess I like it, but it�s a
little tight around my chest,� Kagome stated. She tried pulling the dress up
into a better position, because she was afraid of being pushed out the top.

�I like that�� He stopped and hit himself after
realizing that he said it aloud.

�Well,
let�s get this one and get your clothes Inuyasha.
Maybe Kagome can have this much fun picking out something for you.�

****

�� The moment Inuyasha entered
the store, he know that he was not going to like buying clothing for himself.
However, Kagome seemed to be enjoying herself enough for both of them. Like
magic her pain was gone and she was running about the store. It had taken her
no time at all to pick out more buttoned down shirts for him to wear. She
filled his arms with these shirts, jeans, tee shirts, and dress pants.

�� Kagome, do you really think that I need all these?
How long do you plan on us staying in your world?� Inuyasha
protested.

�� Keep your voice down!� She scolded as she glanced
around them. �We can�t wear the same clothes everyday. People don�t do that
here. You need to change clothes everyday.�

�� You don�t.�

�I
wear my school uniform. It�s different. I have to wear it. When I�m not going
to school I wear other things.�

��I just got used to what I am wearing. Now you
tell me that I have to get used to more of these strange clothes!�

�� Will you two behave? We still have things to do at
home. Inuyasha just try them on and pick out what you
like.� Mama said cheerfully.�

�� Inuyasha grumbled to
himself as he wondered towards the small dressing room. �How do I know what
goes with what? This clothing is complicated.�

He
closed the door to the tiny room and tried to picture the men he had seen
earlier in the mall. They had to know what they were doing. He picked up a pair
of jeans and a tee shirt. They had to match, because he has seen them being
worn together. He looked at himself in the mirror. �Mama picked out the white
shirt and dress pants. They have to go together or she wouldn�t have picked
them out.�

****

�� What is taking him so long?� Kagome said after
glancing at her watch. �It�s been fifteen minutes already. He only took in 6
items. He should have come out to show us something by now.�

�� Kagome, be patient with him. This is normal to you,
but it�s new to him. He might be taking his time to figure out what items match
each other.�

�� Oh, I didn�t think about that,� Kagome whispered and
looked down at the clothes that were in her arms.� Maybe I should tell him next time.�
�
�� Kagome looked up when she heard the two girls behind
the counter giggle. Inuyasha was standing a few feet
way in his jeans and tee shirt. He had turned the baseball cap around to face
backwards. Now it was her turn to be embarrassed as she fought the impulse to
stare at him. She had never seen him in anything so form fitting. Sure, she had
seen him naked. However, the clothes just looked too good on him.

�� Did I get them wrong?� He asked, worrying because of
the girls behind the counter. He couldn�t decide if he liked the look on
Kagome�s face or not.

�� Trust me Inuyasha, that�s
not why they are giggling at you.� Mama assured him.�

�� His attention never left Kagome, who had her hand
over her mouth. �Kagome?�

�� You look good�� It was all she could manage without
giggling.

�� These are really uncomfortable. They�re too tight.�

�� That is what I like about them,� Kagome mumbled. It
was enough to make him roll his eyes and turn red for the hundredth time that
day.

�� Teenagers, you two are incorrigible!� Mama said as
she shook her head at them and tried not to laugh. �Inuyasha,
go try on something else, and I will get you another size.�

�� Kagome walked over to Inuyasha
as he watched Mama return to the rack of jeans. She touched his arm to get his
attention and asked, �Inuyasha do you need me to help
you match things up?�

�� I think I got it, but don�t giggle next time. I know
you are not making fun of me, but it still makes me nervous.�

�� Ok,� she said in a soft voice. Although, she
couldn�t help but giggle as she watched him walk way. �He can�t get nervous if he doesn�t see me do it. He would want another
size�his butt looks sooooo nice.�

****

It
was very late in the afternoon before they were on their way home. They almost
had more bags than the trunk could hold. It had been a very long day for them
all and Kagome was glad it was over. She was thankful that having Inuyasha in public wasn�t as hard as she had thought it
would be. She had spent so much of the morning worrying that people would
notice that he was not completely human. Luckily, people hadn�t noticed his
claws or fangs. His fingers looked human enough to fool most people as long as
they didn�t get too close a look at them. Most people thought that his eyes
were being hidden with contacts, and he had received several compliments on how
much the color suited him. His hair had gotten him compliments from the
giggling young ladies in the clothing store.

She
let herself slump down into the seat beside him. Inuyasha
had actually let himself doze off.� �It�s funny how everyone noticed him, yet
didn�t notice him at all.� She thought as she turned her head to look at
him. �Most people don�t take the time to
look at the people around them, but they looked at him. They saw him the way I
see him all the time. He was someone
moving before them that they couldn�t help but look at.� �She was proud to be with him. He really had no
idea of how gorgeous he actually was, but she did.

****

�After
all that we have spent so far, I hope that we get a lot of money for our
wedding gifts,� Kagome said as she tried to move things around in her closet to
make room for Inuyasha�s things.

�Give
me those,� he ordered as he reached around her to take the hangers from her
hands. �I don�t want you to hurt you self. I�m surprised that you haven�t
reopened the wound already.�

Unfortunately,
she had stretched her wound the first night home with Inuyasha.
It would be a miracle if she did not end up with a nasty scar. It amazed her
that she had had so much energy that night, but now she was in total misery.
She couldn�t bend down, or set up properly. Trying on the clothes at the mall
was almost too much for her to take. She was dizzy and she couldn�t focus her
thoughts. She was grumpy, and she know it was making Inuyasha grumpy.

She
tried to explain as calmly as she could, �I have to take some of these down to
make room. You won�t know what I want to get rid of.�

�Fine,
I�ll hold them up and you tell me which ones to toss and which to keep,� he
said as he made her set down on the bed.

�You are getting much too good at being domesticated.�

�Do mes di�what?�

�Domesticated,
it means that you are getting less wild and more used to being around the
house.� It was the easiest definition she could think, but he would still miss
her joke. She decided not to explain her joke for fear of hurting his feelings.
I was really mean of her to think about him as her little puppy. She knew that
he was not as simple minded as everyone had made him out to be. Most of his
simple-mindedness was do to his lack of human contact, and not his
intelligence. It made him the butt of several jokes, but it didn�t make him
stupid. She was not sure why she made the joke. She was ashamed of herself for
it, and happy that he did not get it.

�Kagome,
you have company,� Mama said as she leaned in the doorway, �I think that you
should hurry before Grandpa starts making up diseases again.�

****

Yuka,
Erri, and Ayumi had decided
to stop by to get a sneak preview of the groom. The party would be too crowded
to get in a good examination of her mystery man.

�Is
it that violent and jealous guy that you were supposed to break up with, but
kept chasing after?� Yuka asked.

�umm�well�,� Kagome was not quick enough these days to come
up with a good lie. Truth was she was getting tired of making stuff up.

�Feh,�
Inuyasha poked his head around the corner of the
living room entryway. �I�m not violent and jealous. I�m misunderstood.�

�He is really
starting to understand too well. Smartass!�� She
thought as she looked at him. �Inuyasha,� Kagome
chuckled nervously. Any chance of lying was just thrown out the window. �These
are my friends from school.�

�Inuyasha�what kind of a name is that?� Erri
mumbled as the three girl shot glances at each other.

�His
mother was from the United States. She was a�hippie. She was studying Japanese and Indian
mythology when she had Inuyasha. All the drugs gave
her crazy ideas.� She would mentally slap herself later for that lie. �Great, now everyone will think that I�m
marrying into a family of metal cases. Not to mention, I will have to teach him
English! If they believe any of this I am going to do a happy dance.� �

�Wow,
he is half American?� Ayumi seemed very impressed.
She leaned over to whisper in Kagome�s ear, �He is so cute.�

�I
know,� she giggled as Inuyasha entered the room. It
looked like Inuyasha would get to see her do a happy
dance later.

�Um, are those dog ears?� Yuka asked and pointed in
his direction.

Kagome
was about to panic as Inuyasha froze in mid step,
�Anime!� It was the only thing that she could get out.

�Oh,
I have heard that Americans get into anime, but I didn�t realize that they were
this creative.� Yuka had stepped forward for a closer inspection.
�They
even move. How do you control them?�

Kagome
stepped in front of her. Luckily his hands were in his pockets because she
said, �he carries a remote in his pocket. He is so creative. You should see his
Panda costume.�

�He likes Ranma 1/2?� Erri seemed surprised.

�Oh,
like is not the word,� Inuyasha stood behind her
smiling as if he had a clue about anything she was saying. �Well, I hate to do
this,� she started coaxing them toward the door, �but it has been a long day,
and I am not feeling well. See you at the party this Saturday.� With that she
shut the door.

�I didn�t even realize I�d moved my ears.�

He
stood there staring at her with wide innocent eyes. If she had ever doubted it
before she couldn�t find any reason to doubt it now� Death wouldn�t come from a
youkai attack, a fight with Naraku, or even Kikyou.
It would be a result from all the times her heart would stop as she tried hide
the truth about Inuyasha.
