"Hey could you come here for a second and give me a hand?" A voice called out to Kagome as she passed by the door to a cafe. Kagome looked over and noticed an attractive man trying to single handedly hang a sign. "Sorry but would you mind helping me out for a second? I'll treat you." He asked as he tried to haphazardly hold the sign in one hand and a hammer in the other.
"Ugh sure." She said with a smile as she helped take the sign and hold it while he nailed it in place.
"Thanks." He said smiling at her. "Oh right. My name is Inuyasha." He said holding a hand out to her. Kagome smiled and shook his hand.
"Kagome." She looked him over and had to admit he was rather hot. He had long white hair that was currently being held back in a messy ponytail, a tan chiseled looking body, and piercing golden eyes. "So you said something about treating me...?" Kagome said with a smile. Inuyasha chuckled and motioned for her to follow him into the cafe.
"What can I get you for your generosity?" He said as he rounded the counter.
"Anything?" She asked thoughtfully.
"Anything."
Kagome carefully looked over the menu and picked the most expensive and hard to pronounce name she could find. "I have always wanted to try it." Kagome admitted with a small blush. "If its that hard to pronounce and that expensive I figure its got to be interesting."
"Your wish is my command." He said with a slight bow as he turned to make her drink.
'Cute tight ass.' Kagome thought to herself as she watched his ass non too subtly. After a moment Kagome tore her eyes away from the cute butt and looked around the almost empty cafe. "Are you new here?" She asked turning back to him. "I come here often and I've never seen you." She said as she watched him finish making the drink.
"I normally work the afternoon shift." He said handing her the drink. "My friend managed to convince me to switch shifts with him though." Inuyasha said with a chuckle. "I'm kinda glad he did though. It gave me a chance to meet you." In response Kagome blushed but couldn't hold back a smile.
"Shit I gotta go." Kagome said as she noticed the clock on the wall. She had been on her way to meet her boyfriend and was suppose to be there already. "I'm sorry for just leaving suddenly but I forgot I'm in a hurry. It was nice meeting you though." She said as she picked up her drink.
"Don't worry about it. You helped me out. It was nice meeting you Kagome." Inuyasha said as he watched Kagome hurry out the door.
~A few minutes later~
"I am so sorry." Kagome panted as she tried to get her breath. "You didn't wait long did you?" She asked noticing the annoyed look on his face.
"Why must you always be late?" He asked looking down at her. "I told you this was an important meeting. Would it have killed you to dress up a little?" He asked looking over her outfit disapprovingly.
"Sorry I thought this outfit would be alright." Kagome said feeling self-conscious. She had spent over an hour picking out her outfit and had thought this would be the perfect one for lunch with his boss.
"We're already late so that'll have to do." He sighed as he started to walk into the restaurant. "Please remember don't try to tell any jokes alright? You just make yourself sound stupid when you do." He said turning to her with a pained look on his face.
"Alright." Kagome said with a sigh.
"Kouga finally find her?" An amused voice called once they reached their table.
"Yes sorry to make you both wait." Kouga said pulling out a chair for Kagome.
"I'm sorry I was running late." She said politely.
"Don't worry about it honey." The older woman said with a sweet smile. "You look lovely dear and it is so nice to see you again."
"You as well ma'am." Kagome said politely back. "I love what you've done with your hair. It is truly lovely."
"Oh thank you." The woman said with a smile.
"You always look lovely my dear." Kouga's boss said as he turned to his wife with a smile. She thanked him with a smile and the group ordered their food.
The meal passed slowly, in Kagome's opinion, and the two groups parted ways.
"I need to go back to work." Kouga said looking at his watch once he was alone with Kagome. "I appreciate you not opening your mouth." He said not looking at her. "The meal surprisingly went well even though you weren't dressed properly and were late. If this keeps up I might get that promotion." Kouga said actually looking happy for a moment. "Anyway I gotta go. Love you." He said as an afterthought as he pulled out his phone and left.
"Bye..." Kagome called after him. She let out a sigh as she walked back towards her apartment. "Oh who am I kidding I need to vent a little." Kagome growled to herself after a moment and made a beeline for her friend's house.
"Hey Kagome." Sango called when she heard the door open. Sango looked up at Kagome and stood up. "Oh god tell me what happened now." She said as she followed Kagome upstairs. By the time she reached Kagome she had already stripped off her uncomfortable outfit and was picking out something of Sango's. "How about the red one?" She pointed out. Kagome looked at it and smirked. The outfit was just what she was looking for.
"Thanks." She said as she pulled on the sheer red top and black cut off shorts. "Much better." She said as she released her hair from the annoying clip that had been holding it up.
"Now that you're comfy talk." Sango said from where she had settled herself on the bed. Kagome proceeded to tell Sango about the day starting with meeting Inuyasha and ending with the horrible lunch with Kouga. "Honey I keep telling you to dump him. He doesn't appreciate or understand you. Before you say it yes I know you both have been together for years. Yes I know that during college you both were really in love but honey things and people change. You two haven't been doing well since he got hired at that company two years ago." Sango sighed. "I want to see you happy Kagome. You're like a sister to me."
Kagome let out a sigh and flopped down on the bed next to Sango. "I know but I still love him."
Sango shook her head and sighed. No one had been able to convince her to dump the guy. "Your guitar is where you left it." Sango said as she got up. Kagome perked up immediately. She loved her guitar more then her life. It was her baby. Having momentarily forgotten about her problems Kagome hurried out of the room, down the stairs, and into the mostly empty garage. Sango followed her slower and laughed. It was like a kid on Christmas every time Kagome saw her guitar.
"Hey baby miss me?" She asked as she picked up the guitar.
"I've got some news that might cheer you up." Sango said as she watched Kagome look over the guitar for any scratches that hadn't been there before. "My boyfriend Miroku from the cafe we go to?" She said when Kagome gave her a blank look for a second but Kagome nodded after a moment as she pulled her mind out of her own little world. "Well we were talking and he mentioned that they were looking for someone to play live Friday nights..." Sango trailed off smiling at Kagome.
"You're shitting me right?" Kagome asked jumping up and running over to Sango.
"Nope it's yours. All you gotta do is go over there some time and play a little for the manager. Miroku is friends with the guy and has assured him that your good so go over sometime." Sango said with a huge smile on her face.
"Can you call Miroku right now and see if I can meet with the manager now?" Kagome asked hopping up and down in excitement.
"Of course." Sango said laughing. Sometimes Kagome acted just like a little kid. She pulled out her phone and called Miroku. After a few minutes she turned to Kagome with a smile. "Miroku says the manager is suppose to get off in a few minutes but he is gonna call him. Miroku's sure the manager would be willing to stay a few minutes late to meet you. So get going." Sango said smacking Kagome on the ass playfully as she hurried past her. Kagome turned to grin at her and thank her as she ran out the door with her guitar.
