Kagome is a 17-year –old girl that has gone through a lot of pain. Will someone finally be there for her? Will he be more than just a friend to her pain-filled heart? This is my first fanfic so please do not flame if you can help it...Rated R for later lemons and language.
Midnight:
"No, not again…" Kagome fitfully tossed around in her bed unable to stop the horrible images in her head from playing over and over again. "No..!" Screaming, she woke up breathing hard… 'I couldn't do anything to stop it…I'm sorry…I never meant to leave you there…'
Morning:
An alarm clock ran loudly and then began to give the weather before a lily white hand banged it off. Kagome's hair was tousled from her fitful sleep and she sighed deeply.'It's 9 o'clock already…oh no it's 9 o'clock! I forgot to put my alarm one hour ahead again!'
Realizing that she was going to be late to work she took a 5-minute cold shower to wake herself up and, putting on hip hugger jeans, black sneakers, a red tank top, and picking up a dark green apron rushed out.'Great…another lost breakfast…' Running across a street to a supermarket named "Stop-Go" she finished tying on her apron and sprinted through shopping carts and aisles 'till she got to the back storage room. There she saw her friend Sango putting away boxes of Ramen.
"Hey Kagome! You better hurry up, Boss has been looking all over for you, you're an hour late and he's complaining about taking the money out of your monthly check."
Flashing a quick smile at her friend as she ran by she nodded, "Thanks Sango! I'll just take lunch off again!"
Shaking her head Sango went back to work. 'Poor Kagome, she probably didn't have any breakfast either. She must have so much hurt right now. I know that she can do better than this job…but I know she needs it until then...' Frowning to herself as these thoughts of her friend were going through her head she lifted up another box; grumbling to herself.
"Thank you again for shopping here! Please don't forget your bags," Kagome said with a cheery smile that she always gave the customers, even if she wasn't really feeling that way.
'Why am I having these dreams again? That incident happened 5 months ago…then why does it feel like only yesterday?'
"Excuse me miss? How much will that be?" Kagome snapped back and stared stupidly at the customer before realizing that she had finished running the items across the scanning thingy. (AN: Yes, I know…pathetic. But what else should I call it? Oh and quick note: This is my first fanfic…and I also do not know much of Japan so sorry if this sounds VERY much like America.)
"That'll be 11.57. Sorry about that." She sighed as the customer walked off carrying the bags and got ready to smile for the next person to come up when she heard an angry woman's voice.
"Kagome!" Before turning around Kagome squeezed her eyes shut and breathed. Her Boss may be one to compromise, but until then her bark was way worst than her bite. Forcing a smile she turned herself completely around only to find her face 4 inches away from her boss's screaming one.
":nervous chuckle: umm…yes Boss?" Kagome said trying to back up a bit.
"Your late AGAIN! This is the 20th time already! Do you think that this supermarket can just take the customer's money and put it in my wallet itself!" This comment made some of the customer's frown or look at their produce with a questioning face. Kagome saw this and started to giggle not being able to help it.
Her boss ALSO saw this getting even angrier and whispered fiercely into her ear, "Find Sango to take your place for now and come to my office immediately!"
Kagome sighed deeply as she made her way to the back of the store again and saw Sango just sitting on top of one of the boxes taking a nap. One of her eyes opened though as she felt someone's presence advancing towards her. "Oh hey Kagome. Boss want to see you in the office again?" Without saying anything Kagome nodded and Sango did also. She put her apron back on because she had taken it off for her "break" and began to walk next to Kagome as they made their way out.
"What do you think Boss is gonna tell you now?" asked Sango fumbling with the bow in the back of her apron.
"I don't know. She seemed pretty upset. And she also said something that made all the customers stare." At this both women stopped, stared at each other, and then burst out laughing starting to walk towards the door again.
'That's just like her…always making such a big deal out of everything…' thought Sango.
"Okay Sango I better leave now. I had check out aisle number 8 today. Talk to you later if I'm not too chewed up." Sango smiled. She knew that Kagome was too nice of a girl for boss to yell at long, but nonetheless she wished her good luck as she watched her walk off.
"Sit down." Her boss's angry voice rang out through the small room that had barely anything inside of it. There was a desk with a bit of papers on it and a phone, which hardly ever rang. There were two chairs and a small window. Kagome could also see a small radio that was now off, but seemed very old. Slowly, she sat down smoothing out her apron nervously.'Here it comes, I'm gonna get fired for i sure i this time.'
"Look at me Kagome." The addressed person looked up. "Good. Now, I won't have any of my employees making me look like a bitch in front of my customers. I have let you off the hook one too many times. Everyone else is sick of making up for the time you waste 'sleeping in'." Kagome opened her mouth to say something but stopped when her boss gave her a death glare signifying that she was not finished yet.
Her boss leaned back in her chair satisfied that she had stopped her before she began. "So, not that we havethat cleared up. I'm sorry to say that you can no longer keep this job for lack of responsibility." Her boss sat there with a pleased look on her face waiting for a typical reaction she got from people she fired; a nervous look, a jaw drop, stuttering, etc.
'I knew this was coming.' Kagome did nothing. She just stared back at her boss and waited to be dismissed so she could go home and burn this stupid apron. Besides, it was uncomfortable and itchy, was she really gonna wear it again?
The look of satisfaction slowly slipped off her boss's face. 'Impossible. Could Kagome be this serene after she had given her so many chances? Wouldn't she think she would have more?' Realizing she was showing her confusion, Kagome's boss regained her composure and yelled at Kagome to leave already. Kagome silently nodded and slipped out hardly making any noise.
Meanwhile…
Sango bent over to pick up fallen change'How does Kagome deal with all this all the time? I'm happy I only do this once in a while…' All of a sudden she felt a hand on her behind. "Miroku:slap:"
A guy with regular jeans, black hair in a ponytail at the nape of his neck and a baggy dark purple shirt smiled sheepishly as the red mark on his face pulsed. "Oh dear Sango, I was just saying hello."
":sweat drop: With your hand?"
"Well…thatwould have been where your hand was if you weren't bent over you know…"
Growling, Sango slapped him again then gave an apologetic smile to the small group of onlookers that had formed up. She stopped smiling quickly though when she glanced around and saw Kagome walking slowly out of the store. 'Oh no…' she thought, 'that bitch actually did it…'She knew that the bosshad let her off a lot of times...but she didn't know she would still turn cold-hearted with Kagome after that...She wanted to go after Kagome and try to console her but she knew that she couldn't risk getting fired too. Kicking Miroku again just because she was angry she went back to scanning items grumbling to herself and forcing a smile onto her face that looked like an evil grin.
Okay there's my first chappy!
Sry if this is very pathetic for some people. And if things seem all stupid right now...it'll get better later..that is of course...if you review >.> :teehee:
