A/N* I'm so so so sorry for the amazingly long update! As you know from the author's note before, I was on vacation. Hehe, I guess I should have mentioned that in the previous chapter eh? Lol. I re-read the last chapter and the part in the cafeteria near the end, in my oppinion, sucked! So sorry for that also. Anyways, I'll try to update more but this week I'll probably only get one update in instead of two because I have a basketball tourney. Well anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter!

I'm SO SO SOOOOOO sorry for not updating in like 2 more weeks! Please don't kill me! The reason was because while I was typing my story, my computer broke down! My computer was broken so we had to get it fixed. It was finally fixed earlier this week but I couldn't get to finish this chapter because I had 2 major English projects.
When I finally got on, I found out that this chapter was only saved to the point of where it almost finishes the review thank yous. So now I have to type everything over again. Well I'm so terribly sorry for the wait again and hope that you will forgive me and not try to kill me. Lol. Well onto the chappie.
Oh! And one more thing. I am currently looking for a reader who will proofread my chapters. Please say in the review if you want to or not and if you do, please leave your e-mail address so I can e-mail it to you. There may be more than one person who might want this job so please say why you think you deserve (is deserve really the word for this?) it. Thanks a whole bunch!

Chapter 3
~
The scenery zoomed by as she looked out the window. Everything happened so fast. How could this have happened to her in such a short time? She was supposed to have bad luck. Well it seems that her luck is turning. She really hoped so.
"Kagome! Hello? Are you in there???" Sango waved a hand in front of the said girls' face.
Sango's voice brought Kagome out of her thoughts. "What? Huh? Who? Oh, hi Sango, what are you doing here?"
Sango sweatdropped at her new friend's stupidity. "Umm, Kagome, we're in my car, driving to the mall with Inuyasha and Miroku following behind us. Anything like that ring a bell in that head of yours?" Sango knocked lightly on Kagome's head for emphasis.
"Eh. he....he..." Kagome laughed nervously. 'Dammit Kagome, your such an idiot. Great move spacing out there.'
"So! Anyways! I haven't been to the mall in like ages!" Sango said brightly with a huge grin on her face. She suddenly turned to Kagome. "When was the last time you went to the mall?"
Kagome fidgeted her fingers nervously. "Well..... I..... um..... lets see...... um....... I...... well....."
"Well?" Sango urged.
Kagome looked down at her feet, a tinge of pink on her cheeks. "Well, I don't know. I haven't been to the mall in about three or four years actually."
Shocked by that information Sango swerved back and forth on the road almost crashing into a passing car. "Sango! Hands on the wheel! Hands on the wheel!" Kagome cried frantically. Her hands shot over to the steering wheel. Upon grasping it, she steadied the car again.
Sango finally took hold of the steering wheel. "I'm sorry Kagome." She said breathlessly.
"It's........... it's................... O.K." Kagome panted
"So you actually haven't been to the mall in three or four years? Wow. When I said I haven't been to this mall in forever, It meant a couple of months. So don't you go?" Sango asked curiously.
"Umm, well, I'm not really a social person."
"Oh, I see. Anyways! We gotta shop till we drop! I can't wait to show you the stores! Oh, this is gonna be so much fun!" Snago clapped her hands together on the last sentence which made the car swerve again.
"Ah!!!! Sango!! Hands on the steering wheel!!!!!"
Sango took hold of the wheel once again. "Eh.... he..... he..." She said sheepishly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"This is going to be so much fun!"
"God man, what are you? A girl? Come to think of it, you might actually be one. Oh my god! If you actually were a girl, you'd be a lesbian because of all the groping! Oh I'm on a roll. And! You probably got a sex change and plastic surgery so you'd look more like a guy so groping other girls would appear fine. Aww, man, thats one disturbing thought."
"Fuck you Inuyasha. I'm not a girl. I didn't get a sex change OR plastic surgery. I am one hundred percent male." Miroku said proudly. "If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you if you want to see."
"Of course you can prove it idiot. You got a sex chnage, remember?" Inuyasha snickered. It was so much fun bugging people.
"Ahhhhhhh!" Miroku screamed frustrated. "Whatever man. If you want to know the reason I said this will be fun is because we're going to the mall with two hot chicks." Miroku sighed dreamily.
Inuyasha looked over at his friend. "Your point is?"
"Inuyasha, you are an idiot! Man! Look. Two hot chicks trying on clothes. Us watching. And if we get lucky, they might try on swimsuits!" Miroku then got a dazed look.
"Man, you are such a pervert."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Damn it! Where are they?! They were right behind us." Sango continued scanning the parking lot for any signs of her boyfriend and his bestfriend.
Kagome looked back and forth also. Finally, she spotted Inuyasha's car. "Sango! There they are!"
Sango followed Kagome's gaze and sure enough, there were the guys. She grabbed Kagome by the arm and started dragging her over towards them.
"Where the hell were you guys?! Do you know how long we waited?!" Sango screamed. She had finally released Kagome of her grip once they joined the two boys. Kagome now was rubbing her abused arm tenderly.
Inuyasha croosed his arms across his chest. "Feh. Ask your boyfriend. I don't feel like getting beat up by a psyco girl today." Inuyasha answered.
Sango turned her dark gaze towards said boy. "What did you do this time?" She asked darkly.
"Umm......... Sango, sweet heart, lets just go get a nice strawberry smoothie and shop, O.K.?" Miroku said nervously.
"Don't Sango sweet heart me, now stop trying to avoid the subject and answer. What did you do?"
"He groped a bunch of girls on the way here then their boyfriends chased him up and down the road threatening to cut off his testicles. There. All done. Can we go inside now? Its boring watching you guys fight." Inuyasha said casually.
"What?! You pervert! How could you do that?! Your my BOYFRIEND!!! You know I actually wish those guys HAD caught up with you and cut off your testicles. Hey! Don't start running away! Get back here you lech of a boyfriend!" Sango screamed and chased after her boyfriend.
"Umm, do they always fight like that?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha looked beside him just noticing Kagome. She had been so quiet the entire time that he thought she left. "Yeah. Miroku gropes someone then Sango hits him. Happens everyday."
"Wow." Kagome breathed. "They are such a cute couple. It's so obvious that she loves him and gets jealous whenever he gropes another girl. Thats so cute!"
Inuyasha looked at the girl beside him weirdly. "Love him? Man, I think it's amazing that their together. How can you tell that they love each other when all they practically do is fight?"
"I can just do."
"Kagome! Inuyasha! Come on! We don't have all day!" Sango screamed from across the parking lot.
The two teenagers made their way towards their friends.
The mall was humongous! Stores aligned each side. Kagome had almost forgotten how huge Tokyo mall actually was. She was currently being dragged, again, by Sango from store to store. They were curerntly at a store called NRG Fashion.
"Ohhhhh, Kagome, look at this, its so pretty! You have to try it on! It would look so cute on you! Oh, and this top, and this skirt, and this, and this, and this...." Sango was currently picking out everything she thought looked cute on Kagome, which was a lot. You could barely make her out among the pile of clothes that piled above her head.
With a push from Sango, Kagome was in the changing room. "Try on the first outfit!" Sango said through the doors.
"Man Sango, calm down. It's like you're a kid in a candy store. What's with you and yelling anyways? I think I'm going to lose my hearing soon." Inuyasha said as he and Miroku approached. They had left the girls for a while to go look at C.Ds.
Sango bonked him in the head. "Shut up."
Miroku came up to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "Where's Kagome? Wasn't she with you?"
"Shes in the changing room now."
The door to a changing room opened slowly. "Well?"
The trio turned their heads towards the source of the familiar voice. Everyone's eyes practically bugged out. There was Kagome wearing a pair of tan capris and a pink no sleeve top which went above her belly button showing off her flat stomache.
Sango squeled in delight. "Kagome! That is so cute! Oh my God! You look so good!"
"Indeed. You look very lovely." Miroku added.
Inuyasha just stared. Kagome did look good. She was smiling at the compliments, but he noticed that the smile didn't quite recah her eyes. Her eyes looked sad and disappointed. Then it struck him. She could never wear these clothes! Her mother!
"Kagome, go try on the next outfit!" Sango said excitedly. Kagome complied and went back into the changeroom.
Again, another thought hit Inuyasha. Sango! Sango was going to make her buy all those clothes or just buy them herself then give them to Kagome. Then she would force Kagome to wear them because she'll take them on a guilt trip. Oh no. He had to stop this.
Just then, Kagome walked out of the changeroom wearing a jean mini skirt which wasn't sluttish and a red halter top.
"You know, I should probably be a fashion designer." Sango said thoughfully. "You look hot Kagome!"
"Wow." Was the only thing that came out of Miroku's mouth.
'Holy shit!' Inuyasha was amazed and again stared.
"Hey, Inu! What do you think? You haven't said anything yet." Sango said.
Kagome turned towards him. 'Oh please, please think I look good. Even though I can't wear these on a regular basis, I'll make the most out of this rigth now.'
"Umm, shes looks good I guess." Inuyasha said as casually as he could.
Kagome smiled a little. 'He thinks I look good! Oh ya! Go me! Go me!'
"O.K. Kagome, go change, then we'll ring this stuff up." Sango, once again, ushered Kagome to the change room.
This was the part that Kagome dreaded. She should really tell Sango about her dilemna, but how.... "Oh, Sango, I can't buy these. I... um... don't have any money!" Not the best lie, but it'll have to do.
"Who cares! I'll buy them for you. As a present or thank-you gift for showing me around. Now, hurry, change."
"Wow, Sango sure seems generous." Miroku said
"Well Sango never really had a girl friend. She's always been friends with guys. I guess shes excited." Inuyasha said calmly. His thoughts were quite the opposite in fact. He had to help Kagome. But how..... Aw, who cares, he'll just wing it.
"Um, Sango! Kagome can't buy those outfits because..... because...... because...." Shit! He was running out of ideas.
"Because?" Sango asked impatiently.
"Because her mom won't let her accept gifts this expensive. She'll.... she'll repay you back the same amount and if you... um... refuse, her mom will force you to take it. Yeah, so not buying those things will save a lot of trouble." Phew. That was a good cover up.
Sango looked at Inuyasha suspiciously. She then turned towards Kagome again. "Is this true?"
"Uhhhh, ya! Very true. Uh huh, so save yourselve the trouble, O.K.?"
"Fine..."
As they were walking out of the store, Kagome whispered a 'thank-you' to Inuyasha.
"No prob."
The gang had walked around the mall for hours and finally it was time to go home. Kagome was uneasy in the car with Sango. She hated lying and now guilt was consuming her. She had to tell Sango.
"Hey, Sango, are you mad at me for not buying those clothes?" Thats a pretty good way to start.
"No, why?" Sango asked, curious. Why should she be mad?
"Well because you know the thing about my mom Inuyasha told you?"
"Yeah...."
"Well, it wasn't true." Kagome said quickly. She shut her eyes and waited for the 'I hate you' or 'Were not friends anymore' or something like that.
Sango took that information in and a million questions crossed her mind. The one which stuck out was why she lied and Inuyasha lied.
"So why did you and Inuyasha lie?"
"Well, because my mother is kinda in a depression right now........" Kagome then told her story.
When she finished, Sango threw her arms around her. "Oh Kagome! I'm sorry! I never knew!"
Kagome looked at the steering wheel in horror. Not again. "Sango! Wheel! Hands on wheel!"
Sango quickly released her and took ahold of the wheel again. "Opps."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The next day was uneventful. Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango were sitting in a park near Inuyasha's house. Kagome couldn't make it because she had to go shopping with her mom. Her mom. If they could solve the mom thing then Kagome would be a bit happier. Sango and Inuyasha had filled Miroku in and they were trying to think of something to help the situation.
"I got nothing." Sighed Inuyasha.
"I got it! We will black mail her mother to letting her have a normal teenage life!" Miroku suggested.
Sango slapped him in the head sending him to the ground. "You idiot. She'll have the police arrest you."
"You know, we could always talk to her mom." Inuyasha said quietly.
"Inu! That's a great idea! When will we do it?" Sango asked.
"How about when Kagome's not around?" Miroku suggested again.
"No, really? Well how are we going to get Kagome away?" Sango asked.
Miroku placed his chin on his left hand. "Why don't you take her somewhere while we talk to her mom?"
"O.K.! Well I'm going to go arrange things. Meet me at my house in an hour. See ya!" Sango jogged away after she said goodbye.
"Sure. So Miroku, What do you wanna do to pass the time?" Inuyasha looked over at his friend to find him reading a Playboy magazine. "Pervert."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Oh no! Not an awful ending again! I'm so sorry, I feel kinda un-inspirated right now. So anyways, hope you like it and I'm again deeply, terribly sorry for the long update! As you know, I am looking for a reader who will proofread my stories. Please apply! I'm not the greatest speller/grammer person, lol.
I have important news! I might be deleting my second story because I don't know what to do with it. I think I've almost ran out of ideas! Boo hoo! :( So I was thinking of a chapter or 2 more for that story and maybe quits right in the middle. I know thats unfair to you guys, but I don't know how to keep going. I guess if anyone wants that story they can have it. So if you want it, tell me!
Well, please review! They make me update faster!! ^_- Suggestions always welcome! ^_^

"Where the hell were you guys?! Do you know how long we waited?!" Sango screamed. She had finally released Kagome of her grip once they joined the two boys. Kagome now was rubbing her abused arm tenderly.
Inuyasha croosed his arms across his chest. "Feh. Ask your boyfriend. I don't feel like getting beat up by a psyco girl today." Inuyasha answered.
Sango turned her dark gaze towards said boy. "What did you do this time?" She asked darkly.
"Umm......... Sango, sweet heart, lets just go get a nice strawberry smoothie and shop, O.K.?" Miroku said nervously.
"Don't Sango sweet heart me, now stop trying to avoid the subject and answer. What did you do?"
"He groped a bunch of girls on the way here then their boyfriends chased him up and down the road threatening to cut off his testicles. There. All done. Can we go inside now? Its boring watching you guys fight." Inuyasha said casually.
"What?! You pervert! How could you do that?! Your my BOYFRIEND!!! You know I actually wish those guys HAD caught up with you and cut off your testicles. Hey! Don't start running away! Get back here you lech of a boyfriend!" Sango screamed and chased after her boyfriend.
"Umm, do they always fight like that?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha looked beside him just noticing Kagome. She had been so quiet the entire time that he thought she left. "Yeah. Miroku gropes someone then Sango hits him. Happens everyday."
"Wow." Kagome breathed. "They are such a cute couple. It's so obvious that she loves him and gets jealous whenever he gropes another girl. Thats so cute!"
Inuyasha looked at the girl beside him weirdly. "Love him? Man, I think it's amazing that their together. How can you tell that they love each other when all they practically do is fight?"
"I can just do."
"Kagome! Inuyasha! Come on! We don't have all day!" Sango screamed from across the parking lot.
The two teenagers made their way towards their friends.
The mall was humongous! Stores aligned each side. Kagome had almost forgotten how huge Tokyo mall actually was. She was currently being dragged, again, by Sango from store to store. They were curerntly at a store called NRG Fashion.
"Ohhhhh, Kagome, look at this, its so pretty! You have to try it on! It would look so cute on you! Oh, and this top, and this skirt, and this, and this, and this...." Sango was currently picking out everything she thought looked cute on Kagome, which was a lot. You could barely make her out among the pile of clothes that piled above her head.
With a push from Sango, Kagome was in the changing room. "Try on the first outfit!" Sango said through the doors.
"Man Sango, calm down. It's like you're a kid in a candy store. What's with you and yelling anyways? I think I'm going to lose my hearing soon." Inuyasha said as he and Miroku approached. They had left the girls for a while to go look at C.Ds.
Sango bonked him in the head. "Shut up."
Miroku came up to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "Where's Kagome? Wasn't she with you?"
"Shes in the changing room now."
The door to a changing room opened slowly. "Well?"
The trio turned their heads towards the source of the familiar voice. Everyone's eyes practically bugged out. There was Kagome wearing a pair of tan capris and a pink no sleeve top which went above her belly button showing off her flat stomache.
Sango squeled in delight. "Kagome! That is so cute! Oh my God! You look so good!"
"Indeed. You look very lovely." Miroku added.
Inuyasha just stared. Kagome did look good. She was smiling at the compliments, but he noticed that the smile didn't quite recah her eyes. Her eyes looked sad and disappointed. Then it struck him. She could never wear these clothes! Her mother!
"Kagome, go try on the next outfit!" Sango said excitedly. Kagome complied and went back into the changeroom.
Again, another thought hit Inuyasha. Sango! Sango was going to make her buy all those clothes or just buy them herself then give them to Kagome. Then she would force Kagome to wear them because she'll take them on a guilt trip. Oh no. He had to stop this.
Just then, Kagome walked out of the changeroom wearing a jean mini skirt which wasn't sluttish and a red halter top.
"You know, I should probably be a fashion designer." Sango said thoughfully. "You look hot Kagome!"
"Wow." Was the only thing that came out of Miroku's mouth.
'Holy shit!' Inuyasha was amazed and again stared.
"Hey, Inu! What do you think? You haven't said anything yet." Sango said.
Kagome turned towards him. 'Oh please, please think I look good. Even though I can't wear these on a regular basis, I'll make the most out of this rigth now.'
"Umm, shes looks good I guess." Inuyasha said as casually as he could.
Kagome smiled a little. 'He thinks I look good! Oh ya! Go me! Go me!'
"O.K. Kagome, go change, then we'll ring this stuff up." Sango, once again, ushered Kagome to the change room.
This was the part that Kagome dreaded. She should really tell Sango about her dilemna, but how.... "Oh, Sango, I can't buy these. I... um... don't have any money!" Not the best lie, but it'll have to do.
"Who cares! I'll buy them for you. As a present or thank-you gift for showing me around. Now, hurry, change."
"Wow, Sango sure seems generous." Miroku said
"Well Sango never really had a girl friend. She's always been friends with guys. I guess shes excited." Inuyasha said calmly. His thoughts were quite the opposite in fact. He had to help Kagome. But how..... Aw, who cares, he'll just wing it.
"Um, Sango! Kagome can't buy those outfits because..... because...... because...." Shit! He was running out of ideas.
"Because?" Sango asked impatiently.
"Because her mom won't let her accept gifts this expensive. She'll.... she'll repay you back the same amount and if you... um... refuse, her mom will force you to take it. Yeah, so not buying those things will save a lot of trouble." Phew. That was a good cover up.
Sango looked at Inuyasha suspiciously. She then turned towards Kagome again. "Is this true?"
"Uhhhh, ya! Very true. Uh huh, so save yourselve the trouble, O.K.?"
"Fine..."
As they were walking out of the store, Kagome whispered a 'thank-you' to Inuyasha.
"No prob."
The gang had walked around the mall for hours and finally it was time to go home. Kagome was uneasy in the car with Sango. She hated lying and now guilt was consuming her. She had to tell Sango.
"Hey, Sango, are you mad at me for not buying those clothes?" Thats a pretty good way to start.
"No, why?" Sango asked, curious. Why should she be mad?
"Well because you know the thing about my mom Inuyasha told you?"
"Yeah...."
"Well, it wasn't true." Kagome said quickly. She shut her eyes and waited for the 'I hate you' or 'Were not friends anymore' or something like that.
Sango took that information in and a million questions crossed her mind. The one which stuck out was why she lied and Inuyasha lied.
"So why did you and Inuyasha lie?"
"Well, because my mother is kinda in a depression right now........" Kagome then told her story.
When she finished, Sango threw her arms around her. "Oh Kagome! I'm sorry! I never knew!"
Kagome looked at the steering wheel in horror. Not again. "Sango! Wheel! Hands on wheel!"
Sango quickly released her and took ahold of the wheel again. "Opps."

The next day was uneventful. Inuyasha, Miroku and Sango were sitting in a park near Inuyasha's house. Kagome couldn't make it because she had to go shopping with her mom. Her mom. If they could solve the mom thing then Kagome would be a bit happier. Sango and Inuyasha had filled Miroku in and they were trying to think of something to help the situation.
"I got nothing." Sighed Inuyasha.
"I got it! We will black mail her mother to letting her have a normal teenage life!" Miroku suggested.
Sango slapped him in the head sending him to the ground. "You idiot. She'll have the police arrest you."
"You know, we could always talk to her mom." Inuyasha said quietly.
"Inu! That's a great idea! When will we do it?" Sango asked.
"How about when Kagome's not around?" Miroku suggested again.
"No, really? Well how are we going to get Kagome away?" Sango asked.
Miroku placed his chin on his left hand. "Why don't you take her somewhere while we talk to her mom?"
"O.K.! Well I'm going to go arrange things. Meet me at my house in an hour. See ya!" Sango jogged away after she said goodbye.
"Sure. So Miroku, What do you wanna do to pass the time?" Inuyasha looked over at his friend to find him reading a Playboy magazine. "Pervert."
