Most of the gang had been apart for almost the whole summer and their senior year was going to start in just two days. Everyone had gotten back form their vacations a few days ago and everyone was finally getting together at Bone Eaters which was a club that Inuyasha's Uncle owned. The only problem with those plans was that Kagome had to work, but she just happened to work at Bone Eaters. It was about one and Inuyasha was at Kagome's house waiting to take her to work.
"Kagome, I can talk to my Uncle and I know that he will let you off." said Inu.
"I already said that I would work. Besides I will still be there with everyone." She yelled from her walk in closet.
"You're no fun Kags!! Please let me talk to him."
"No! Aren't we all going to the mall tomorrow anyways?"
"Yeah but that isn't the same. Are you almost ready? We have to leave soon."
"Yeah, I'm ready"
Kagome works as a bartender and also sings on Friday nights. Singing was no big deal for her because she is the lead singer of her band. Her band is called Hell's Angels and it has three people in it. There's her who is the lead singer and guitar player, Sango who is backup singer and bass player, and Ayame who plays the drums. She has also played in front of most of the crowd before when her band and the guy's band play as one big group. The guy's band is called Bad Boys and Inuyasha is lead singer and guitar player, Miroku is backup singer and bass player, and Kouga plays the drums. Tonight was Friday so Kagome would do one shift as a bartender and another shift of singing.
"So, are you excited that everyone is back and that school is starting?'
"I guess. I'm just glad that this is our last year of high school. What about you Kags?"
"I'm glad that the whole gang is back together, I could live without school."
"But then you couldn't see my sexy ass everyday."
"Inu, we spend almost everyday together anyway so I don't think I will be deprived of your ass." Kagome replied sarcastically while walking into the club.
"Wow man that had to hurt." Miroku said from the empty bar.
The club wasn't open yet because it was only 1:30 in the afternoon. It doesn't normally open till 4. Kagome has to come in and finish cleaning up from the night before. It was fun for her because Miroku, Sango, and Inuyasha would all come and help her. Inu's uncle would let Miroku play music as long as they didn't disturb him upstairs in his office.
They finished cleaning up around 2:30 so they went to WacDonalds to grab some food to bring back. They all finished eating and cleaned up so that the club could open in an hour. Kagome still had stuff to do but wouldn't let the others help her. She said that they had done enough by helping her clean up the club. She didn't have much left to do anyway. So while she finished up the others sat on the far side of the room in some couches talking about their summers.
"So Sango where did you go this summer?" asked Inu.
"I went to Spain with my stupid brother for a stupid family reunion." replied Sango.
"I hate family reunions. How 'bout you 'Roku, where did you go this summer?"
"I went to the lovely beaches of Hawaii. They were so awesome and the water was always warm." Miroku said with huge smirk on his face.
"ACK PERVERT!!" cried Sango as she smacked him from groping her.
"'Roku you will never learn. Dude I think that you are doomed to a life of brain cell loss." Inu said as he hung his head in shame.
"Soooooo Inuyasha, what did you do this summer since you and Kagome were the only ones that didn't go somewhere?" Sango said while looking at him with a mischievous grin.
Everyone in the gang knew about his HUGE crush on Kagome, except for Kagome. The whole gang also knew about Kagome's HUGE crush on Inu, except for Inu himself. Kagome and Inuyasha have never figured out that they like each other and they have been friends since first grade. The whole gang is still baffled about how they don't see it.
"Mostly Kags and I just hung out when she didn't have work. Course I did come and visit her at work a few times." said Inu with a slight blush on his face.
"Is that all you did? Come on man you need to make a move a let her know you like her. I mean you have liked her since you met her, you need to do something about it." said Miroku now awake from being knocked out by Sango.
"He is right Inu, you need to tell her." Sango added.
Inuyasha silently looked over to Kagome who was finishing up at the bar and sighed.
"Your right but I just can't do it. I mean for all she knows we only like each other as friends. We will probably never be anything more." He said as he hung his head.
"Your right, you will never be anything more if you don't let her know how you feel." Miroku said as he bopped Inuyasha on the head.
Sango got up and went to talk to Kagome about her crush. She made it over to Kagome and helped her finish cleaning the glasses.
"So Kagome what did you this summer? You and Inuyasha were the only ones that stayed home." Sango asked.
"Oh, I didn't do munch. Mostly worked and hung out with Inu cuz all of you ditched us." Kagome said while playfully hitting Sango's shoulder.
"Trust me Kagome, if I didn't have to go to my family reunion I wouldn't have gone. Plus I would've much rather stayed here and spent my summer with you instead of smelly old people." Sango said as she shoved Kagome playfully.
"So did anything happen between you and Inu?" hinted Sango.
"No! Sango you know that Inu and I will never be anything more than friends because he doesn't like me that way." Kagome said kind of sadly.
"Kag you don't know that for sure. The only way you will know if he likes you is if you tell him how you feel." Sango said reassuringly in a sing-song way.
"I know but I'm just scared that he will reject me cuz he doesn't feel the same way."
"Kagome, I want you to do something for me tonight. I want you to watch Inu and tell me what you see at the end of the night. Okay?" asked Sango.
"Okay, but what am I supposed to look for?" asked Kagome.
"Look for anything. Anything you think is cute, funny, out of place, or anything that makes him who he is."
"Okay, I guess I can do that while I'm working."
"Good!"
