Chapter 4: Shopping Day
As the first rays of sunlight began to shine, Kikyo entered Kagome’s room with a cloth and a bowl of cool water to wash down Kagome with. Sesshomaru growled in warning without even opening an eye. Kikyo bowed respectfully to him and quietly spoke, “My Lord Sesshomaru, Kagome needs to be washed down to help prevent sickness. It will aid her in awakening refreshed. May I be permitted to enter?”
“Enter and be warned, if you harm her, I will kill you.”
“Understood, my lord.” And with that, Kikyo went to Kagome’s bedside and washed her face and hands. She left the cool cloth on Kagome’s forehead and silently prayed and transferred some of her spiritual powers to Kagome to help her replenish her strength faster.
“Sesshomaru-sama, may I speak bluntly with you?”
“Hai.”
“Kagome really exhausted herself to help you and I believe I know why.”
“Speak.”
“I believe she is falling in love with you and wants you to be happy.”
“I want her happy as well, for she has captured my heart. Demo, one being stands in the way of my claiming her.”
“Inuyasha.”
“Hai, my otou.”
“Do not worry about him, my lord, for I will deal with him. He has to learn and understand that she is only his friend now. His abuse of her love lost it to him forever.”
“Hai, but I also do not wish to be a substitute love for her. I want her to love me for who I am, not for my family or position.”
“She does love you for yourself. She would love you if you were a peasant or if you were a king.”
“How do u know this miko?”
“Three reasons Sesshomaru-sama, because of the soul we currently share, from watching her over the last two years, and because we have talked a little on several subjects.”
“Why do you care enough about her to enlighten me on this subject?”
“Because this young onna is deserving of a great love, she has given so much of herself to everyone else.”
“Hai, that she has.”
“I will take my leave now, I must attend the children for Kagome.”
“Very well, Kikyo-sama. See to Rin as well.”
“Hai.” With that, Kikyo left Sesshomaru to his thoughts again.
About an hour later, Kagome woke up to a very quiet house. She jumped up, afraid something was wrong. Sesshomaru noticed her worried look and wanting to put her fears to rest spoke quietly. “They are all outside playing a ‘scrabble’ game.”
“Sou ka, how long was I out?”
“All night.”
“Well then, time to get up. We all need to go shopping anyway for the concert.”
“Hai, I’ll leave you to get dressed.” Sesshomaru left in search of Mama Higurashi. He wanted to speak to her about a practical matter of clothing for all of them. He could already tell that this shrine was poor and they had little, so he had made a decision during the night, he would help provide for them, but he also wanted permission to court Kagome. He found her near the well, sweeping away the leaves that had fallen overnight.
“Mrs. Higurashi, I wish to speak to you in private, onegai.”
“Sure, step into the well house with me.” After they were both in, she shut the door and motioned for Sesshomaru to sit beside her on the steps leading to the well.
“Okay, what would you like to talk about?”
“I would like to give you some money as payment for you generosity, plus to pay for all of our clothing and supplies.”
“That is not really necessary, we always manage with all the supplies I buy for Kagome.”
“I insist to help you, but I do not want Kagome to know about it yet.”
“Doushite?”
“I wish to seek your permission to court your daughter.”
“Court…does that mean you want to date her?”
“I do not know what ‘date her’ means, demo, I wish to seek your permission to one day make Kagome my mate.”
“I see, courting as you say is known as dating in this era. And if she agrees to go out on a date with you, it is fine with me.”
“Arigato, Higurashi-san.”
“No problem.” Sesshomaru reached into his haori and pulled out a small pouch of gold and silver coins. He kept two of each and gave the rest to Mama Higurashi.
“Arigato Sesshomaru-sama, I will go get these appraised and converted into our currency as soon as I see Kagome.”
“You talking about me?” Kagome opened the well house doors to see Sesshomaru and her okaa looking at her.
“Kagome, dear, how do you feel?”
“Great now.”
“Very good, I will be back soon. I need to go get some groceries so that we can have something for lunch.”
“Ok, want me to go with you?”
“No, you stay and make sure the shrine stays in one piece.”, Mama answered giggling
slightly.
“Okay, love you mama.”
“Love you too.”
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
After lunch, it was time to go shopping for everyone’s clothes. Just one problem, everyone needed something somewhat modern to go shopping in. But as usual, Mama Higurashi had a solution. Everyone in the Higurashi household dug into their own clothes, old and new, to find something that would be proper. Kaede and Kikyo chose to wear the Higurashi shrine’s miko colors which were white top and pale blue bottoms. Rin wore a pale yellow sundress that was Kagome’s as a child. Souta found a overall set that would fit Jaken, it was denim with a white shirt. Ayame and Sango were both able to fit into some of Kagome’s clothing. They wore brown and pale green shirts and both had a pair of black denim skorts on. Ayame was able to fit her tail comfortable through the hole and wrap it gently around her leg. Shippo wore an old acid washed pair of pants and a dark blue shirt that were once Souta’s. Mama Higurashi dug through her deceased husband’s clothing for the men. She found a brown pair of pants and a green shirt for Kouga. A pair of navy pleated pants and a purple shirt for Miroku. A pair of black denim jeans and a red shirt for Inuyasha. And for Sesshomaru, she found a pair of khaki pleated slacks and a white button-up shirt with blue stripes. After trying on all the strange clothing, Sesshomaru decided to leave the top two buttons undone, it did not feel so tight that way. As the boys came down the stairs, they were met by all the girls in the living room. Miroku and Kouga could not stop staring at their respective loves. Sesshomaru looked over Rin in approval, then looked to Kagome and was in silent shock. Inuyasha was even looking at her in shock. She wore a dazzling sky blue and silver mixed dress with spaghetti strings and silver platform shoes with a slight heel. Her hair was up in a simple banana clip style with sunglasses on top of her head. She and all the girls had dabbled in her makeup too. Ayame wore an bright pink that made her red hair stand out even more. Sango had went with a light red and had put on a light purple eye shadow on. Kagome had put on a bright red color and had a blue and silver mix of eye shadow on. Mama Higurashi was the one to speak about it though.
“Kagome, are you sure you are not overdressed dear?”
“Mama, I wanted to dress up some since I rarely get to with all my travels back and
forth. I miss it. Plus I wanted to show off for my friends some.”
“Okay hun, just do not complain when your feet start to hurt from not being used to it.”
“Yes Mama.”
“Well then, with all that settled, lets be off. I’m sorry Kiara, but they will not allow you in the stores, but I will be sure to get you something.”
“One more thing mama, we need to try and hide Sesshomaru’s markings.”
“No need little miko, this Sesshomaru can hide them mentally.”
One minute later, Sesshomaru turned to the group and looked like a normal modern man, except for his silver hair and molten gold eyes. And with that, the whole group of Mama Higurashi, Inuyasha, Kagome, Sesshomaru, Kouga, Ayame, Sango, Miroku, Grandpa Higurashi, Kaede, Kikyo, Shippo, Rin, Souta, and Jaken all left on foot to go shopping.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
After several hours of buses and trains, walking and trying on all sorts of clothing, the group seemed happy with their selections. But Sesshomaru wanted him and Kagome to go into this really fancy shop to get outfits for the both of them. Kagome was fixing to ask what was on his mind, but her okaa just pushed her into the store and encouraged her to just try on a few outfits. Sesshomaru walked into the store regally and went straight to the men’s side of the store. He picked out a navy colored two-piece suit complete with diamond cufflinks. After he tried it on to ensure proper fitting, he joined Kagome on the ladies side of the store.
“Sesshomaru, why are we in here?”
“For clothing.”
“I mean what is the reason behind just you and me in here for clothing?”
“I wish to take you out on a ‘date’ Kagome.”
“NANI!!!”
Sesshomaru bowed to Kagome and asked again.
“Onegai Kagome, I ask you to go on a date with this Sesshomaru. I find you as a possible future mate for me and would like to court you.”
“Sou ka, since you asked me for a date, I will grant it. Let us see how that goes before we start talks about mating. Does that sound alright with you, Sesshomaru?”
“Hai, more than alright with me.”
“Good, now will you please ask Sango and Kikyo to join me in here, I will need their assistance in picking out a dress.”
“Hai.”
With that, Sesshomaru went to the store entrance and called to the group. Once it was known that Kagome needed help with picking out a dress, Sango and Kikyo were more than happy to go and help. Mama Higurashi looked at Sesshomaru with knowing eyes and he nodded his head to her in thanks.
~Back to the girls~
“He did WHAT!!”, both Sango and Kikyo asked.
“He asked me out on a date.”, replied Kagome.
“Demo, what is a date Kagome-chan”, asked Kikyo.
“I think I know, is that not how the guys in this era try to court girls?” Sango said.
“Exactly.” replied Kagome.
“He asked you that in here?”, the girls asked again.
“Hai, now help me find a great dress for a date, onegai.” begged Kagome
“Of course we will help you.”
With that all the girls started browsing the racks of dresses. Finally they found a sparkling pink evening dress that was off the shoulder and had a low v-cut front. The dress went all the way down to the floor, but had a slit on one side that went almost all the way to the hip so it would be easy to move in. Kagome looked great in it and the others thought she looked like a princess in it.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
It was well past midnight as the group made their way back to the shrine, everyone was exhausted. Kagome was carrying Rin and Shippo because they had fallen asleep on the way home, Kouga had Ayame on his back, Inuyasha had Keade at Kikyo’s insistence that she rest. Kagome leaned heavily onto Sesshomaru to try and not fall asleep right there on the street. She was never this tired, even after a day full of fighting demons. Kikyo saw how tired she was and stopped her.
“Kagome, please hand me the children before you fall asleep right here and fall with them.”
“Hai…arigato…I have not been this tired in a long time, I feel like I could sleep a full day and night.”
After the kids were safely in Kikyo’s care, Sesshomaru picked Kagome up and held her tight to his chest. He wrapped his tail around her for warmth and looked gently down upon her. Within a second of being in her arms, she was sound asleep. ‘Sleep well my koi, for I will make sure that our date will be all you dream of’, thought Sesshomaru as he looked at her as they climbed the steps to the shrine at the end of the group.
