A/N: Well, I guess I am FINALLY posting the first chapter of "Shop til you drop!". I finally was able to get my laptop back. This story idea was lended to me by the awesome Kimiko888! I love that she let me do this fiction, as I saw great possibilities! Hopefully, you guys like me as much as you guys love her! 3 3 3

Discliamer 1: For starters, If I owned Inuyasha, wouldn't you think I would take all these stories and make them a reality? Sadly, only Takahashi can do that.

Disclaimer 2: As I said before the ORIGINAL story IDEA belongs to kimiko888. The rest I made up with my cooky imagination.

Chapter 1: Upgrade

Bing! Bing! Bing!

The bell tolled throughout the school. Finally. I was wondering how long we'd have to be here. Now, I could finally go home and rest before I had to go to work. As I was putting my Calculus papers away, I heard someone call my name.

"Hey Kagome, are you free tonight?"

I looked up at the sound of Eri's voice, my thoughts distracted from the many things I was trying to remember to do.

"Huh?"

She rolled her eyes and repeated her question.

"Are you coming with us to that new club they just opened?" she asked excitedly.

I sighed and shook my head.

"Can't. I have to work tonight. I just got an upgrade from shop cart girl to cashier," Everyone was already filing out the room. My feet were just itching to go out that door.

"But can't you –"

"Eri, I can't ask for a day off on my first day on the new position!" I gave Eri a look. Count on Eri not to understand work. She pouted for a minute until she finally accepted the idea.

"Well. . . Alright. I'll see you tomorrow then," She picked up her bag, stuffed in her math homework and waved goodbye. I waved back weakly. I wasn't to excited about the upgrade. More work meant less time to spend outside with people who had a life. I worked at a place called Gotcha'- "We got your back for all needs". Yes that's the whole name. You'd think with a name like that, everybody steer clear from this superstore, but its actually one the most successful. I sighed as I looked at the clock. I only had until three thirty. I put away my work neatly in my bag when suddenly a silver hair streak of hair passed in the corner of my eye.

I could tell who it was immediately. I didn't even have to think about. My heart sped just a little faster, my face got hotter and my palms actually started to sweat. But this was a normal reaction I always had when he was around.

Inuyasha.

Inuyasha was a bit peculiar. With long silver hair and the most beautiful auburn eyes, he stood out a lot. Okay, with the way I just described him, he should be the most wanted man in this school, right.

Wrong.

Instead of being the new "Hot Item", these idiots that I call classmates, deemed him a freak in high school society.

Did that stop me from liking him? Not at all.

He had just recently transferred to Tama high when I first saw him. It was during freshman year.

At first, I was only curious about him. Being the nosy person I am, an I won't deny it, I tried really hard to figure him out. But as time moved on, instead of finding things about him I began crushing on him like an elephants crushes a peanut shell.

Not that I mean it literally. I had this huge crush on a boy I harldy knew, but nothing stopped me when I had a mind to do it. I guess I was right because even four years later, I still react the same way that I used to when I was 14.

"Higurashi! Are just going to stand there and stare into space, or are you going to let me leave?"

My teacher looked like he would have a cow if I didn't leave soon enough. I scurried out the room before he could give me detention. That was the last thing I needed.

And then I stepped out.

And felt something wet fall on me.

Holy crow, someone was going to die tonight.

"Kagome, what's a beautiful girl like you standing in the middle of the hallway wet?"

I looked up and I saw Miroku smiling triumphantly at me. So he was the one who put this little prank? He was a dead man. I could hear the laughter around me. Then I saw Inuyasha looking at me.

Oh.

Please tell me Inuyasha is not looking at me. Please tell me he's not looking at me. Suddenly, my embaressmaent turned into anger.

"Why you!" I grabbed my bag and whacked him hard on the side of his head.

"It was only a j ––" He didn't finish his sentence, as he was to busy trying to dodge my now furious bag.

"What's all this?" a voice sounded behind me. I turned to see Sango dressed in a pink turtle neck, a white mini skirt and pink go go boots.

Oh, the possibilities those boots had for torture. I smiled devilishly. I turned to Sango's curious face. I was still drenched in water, so my hair was still dripping.

"Sango! Miroku here decided to pull a prank on me and wet me in front of you know who." Sango blinked, but then understood and got that mischievous glint in her eye

"Ah. So what are you going to do now Kagome? Obviously wou need to pay him back in full," She smiled.

"I thought you could help me with that," I crossed my arms and glanced at Miroku. His eyes were flicking back and forth, trying to see where this was going. Knowing Sango, he probably had something in mind. Sango started to look in her bag and she took out a package of pictures.

"In my hand," She started to announce, making everybody lock eyes on her "I have the most embarrassing picture any one could have. Consequently, I got it from his mom just yesterday." She pointed a finger to Miroku.

Miroku paled considerably.

"You wouldn't,"

Oh yes. Oh yes I would.

"Not so funny when its you, huh?" I whispered so that only he could see me.

Sagno held the package and ripped it open. She gave me a picture, and then threw the rest into the air.

Miroku started trying to grab some, but one good kick from Sango's awesome go-go boots and he was down.

"Wow," I studied the picture in my hand and almost died laughing. It consisted of Miroku in his undies, dancing with a lobster with his father. What kind of mom would take pictures of this? I think Mrs. Hiroshi and I would be great friends.

"Laugh if you will! Go ahead yukk it up!" Miroku held himself where Sango

kicked him. Sango rolled his eyes.

"Whatever," Sango turned to me. "Kagome, we have to go or else Kurena will have our heads!" Kurena was our manager and she was very strict on timing, but she was fun most of the time. She pulled me away and threw one last glance at Miroku.

"You should too or else they won't upgrade you like they did Kagome!"

He just scowled.

Miroku, Sango and I worked at the same place. Until yesterday, both me and Miroku had the carts, while sango worked in the phot developing area. How's you think she gets so much dirt on people? She probably even know what you did last summer! Of course, we only used it when revenge counted.

Miroku and I had taken a test to get the cashier job, but I guess he didn't pass it. Maybe that's why he pulled that prank on me. We neared Sango's enviable red convertable

"Sango, can you drop me off at my house so I can change and come back for me?" I asked. She nodded.

"Sure."

I sat on a towel that she had given me. I smiled as I thought of something and I turned to her.

"Hey Sango?" I poked her.

"Hmm?" she answered,

"Wear go-go boots more often,"

Her laughter resounded as we pulled out the parking lot.
