"Just Desserts"
By Night Youkai
The Place was spotless. All the tables had whit and pink linen. The stoves and ovens were heating up for the day and the plates were washed and ready use as the glasses sparkled ready to shine with choice beverages. Yes in two hours the Shikon would open for business and they were ready. Kagome looked at her kitchen like a general inspecting his troops. She already had soups brewing sauces simmering and meats roasting. All that that was needed was Sango to come back from the fish market with the lobsters.
"Hey rin is Sango back yet?"
"Nope. Oh but we did finially get that case of Champaign for the Lairson Anniversary party tonight." This was there dream since Kindergarten. Kagome Sango Rin Amend Kirara had worked for two years into making their Restaurant one of the best in New York. They loved it each doing what they did best. Kagome was head chef with Sango her second in command as sue chef.
Rin, Kagome's cousin, was the main Bartender; she loved to mix drinks like a mad scientist. Many a weekend the other girls fell victim to being Rin's guinea pigs to her lastest drink concoction.
Kirara was the head waitress. She had enough energy to run a marathon and back and not look a bit tired. Though being a neko youkai didn't hurt either.
Ayame was the hostess. She was good with people and was ruthlessly organized. She once said growing up with 5 brothers all mess wolf youkai you find yourself being the voice of reason and the maid of the den. All together they made the Shikon no Tamara a huge success.
" Good all the supplies are set and ready. Their children are coming at 5 to set up decorations. Very thing for that party is set aside and the banquet room is all set. All we need now is the lobsters for the special today. Kirara and Ayame just got back with the veggies." Kagome turned to she two female youkai coming the kitchen carrying twice their weight in produce. The small Neko youkai dropped her with a loud thud. "Kirara! Don't drop the food! The fruit will bruise."
"Sorry Kag, but my arms getting tired. Besides how can you bruise a coconuts?"
"Kirara you sure are winy today are you sure you're a neko youkai?" Teased the wolf youkai as she seat down her load.
"Ha Ayame! You're so funny I for got to laugh pouted the neko as she began to put the food away.
" Anyway Kag we got everything you wanted and then some. Hojo says hi and he hopes that you'll come see him at the farmers market real soon." Ayame couldn't help but giggle as Kagome gave a look of disgust upon hearing Hojo's name.
" That's not funny Ayame. The man can't take the hint that I don't want to date him!" Kagome groaned to think of the dense merchant.. He was nice guy tall brown hair and blue eyes; he had been after for almost a year and a half. The other kitchen workers cam in and took the rest of the food away and began preparing the meals for the day. As the kitchen came to life with the sounds of frying chopping and the clattering of pans Sango came in with a guilty expressions on her face. "Sango it's about time you got here! Where are my lobsters? We open in two hours."
Sango knew the raven-haired girl standing before her was normally sweet kind and loving but she had wicked temper that when invoked could destory everything in a five mile radius. Kagome was a gifted miko and it was never wise to anger her. Sango wonder if she would get a head start once she told the glaring miko that she came back empty handed and seriously hoped she lived once she told her she was now lobster-less. "Well uhh . . . Kagome I . . .could get any they were sold out by the time I got there."
"Who? Who bought them?" Kagome was now grinding her teeth because for some reason she knew the answer.
"The Bone Eaters Well." Sango winced as Kagome let out a blood- curdling scream. The kitchen was then empty in a heartbeat leaving the 2 humans and two youkai to deal with the furious miko. 'Cowards' Sango thought desperately wanting to follow them.
"DAMN YOU INUYASHA! I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS!" she then stomped off to re-plan today's special menu.
"Well she took the news better than I thought she would." Suddenly they all dodged the knife hurtling toward them, flying straight into the dartboard behind them. The dartboard had a picture of the Bone Eater's Well restaurant with the owners standing proud in front. The knife had impaled itself in Inuyasha's face before catching on fire from the intense power of the angry miko.
"Then again . . ." Kirara whispered and he slowly got off the floor. "She could always join the circus as a knife thrower."
*****
"Hey! Anyone home? Fresh lobsters here!"
"Miroku, about time you got here!" called the long sliver haired hanyou. "Koga and Shippo just came back from the market. What took you so long?"
"Well Inuyasha as I was loading up your lobster I happen to catch sight of a lovely beautiful lady." The hanyou glared at the man with the dark hair pulled back into a small ponytail. She seemed to be distressed; so I walk over to see if I could be any assistance. Imagine my surprise when I in turn out to be my lovely Lady Sango. It seems she was also on a mission to retrieve lobsters."
Inuyasha had to smirk at this bit of news. Kagome had to be having a major fit right about now. They had been rivals since, well, since forever. They both went to the same culinary academy both top of the class, both opened restaurants with their friends on the same day and to top it both tied for best restaurant in New York. Inuyasha scowled slightly in think how hard they work for the past 2 years they should be number one but Kagome wasn't going to give up with out a fight. You would think that the different style of restaurant would own it's own classification on being the best, but the was the case it was the fact that the to head chefs were extremely talented. The Bone Eater's well was the top of the line steak house high class yet comfortable for the average Joe. The one thing that keep it from being the best in New York was the Shikon no Tamara. The Shikon was and elegant dining experience with the various dishes from the imagination of one Kagome Higurashi.
He remembered when they started this adventure two years ago. He assembled the best team there was out of his family and friends. Sesshomaru his full youkai half brother was the main bar tender. The youkai grace and elegance was a marvel when mixing the drinkers pleasure. His long sliver hair and pricing amber eyes at the female cliental coming back for more.
Shippo his Kitsune youkai cousin was the headwaiter. This was a good positioning for the energetic fox. Growing up no one could make him sit still he wore out more babysitters then Sesshomaru had clothes. Which was saying a lot since Sesshomaru's closet takes up over half his bedroom.
Koga his second best friend was the host. The wolf youkai was also he rival growing up. They always fought who was strongest and who was the better fighter. Being host had one more requirement other than being organized. During some weekend or during a hosted party that was booked there was always one guy too drunk to think straight. When this occurred then Kouga went from host to bouncer in a heartbeat.
Miroku his first best friend. Now there was a story worth remembering. When Inuyasha first started at a new school just after his parents died was placed in the special class because he was neither human nor youkai. Miroku was also in the class as he was a monk in training at the time. But that wasn't the reason why he was there. It seemed little Miroku had a problem with his hands. The problem was they kept wandering to either a girls behind or up the back of their dress to get to their behind. Unfortunately Miroku could not tell Inuyasha was a boy from behind. Inuyasha's long youkai hair came down almost to his butt. The butt, which that's wandering hand made contact with fro the first and last time. After The young hanyou cool down from his urge to kill the young monk then became instant friends. Miroku was still a monk by blood but he left the temple to be Inuyasha's right hand man as sue chef.
"So she won't be getting he lobsters. Feh I bet she'll be pretty steamed when she know I have them." smirked Inuyasha as he began to boil some of the lobsters.
"I believe so. Anyways I think she'll get over it. Seeing as she pre bought all the oysters."
" They WHAT? Damn them! One of these I'm going to show her!"
"Problem little brother?" Seshomaru asked as he helped carry in a shipment of Champaign.
"The Shikon wenches bought out all the oysters!"
"I see, well you bought all the lobsters so this should make you both even. Right?"
"No! That's not the point! We are not suppose to be even we're suppose to the best! We worked to hard to get here only to be tied to even! WE" ARE THE BEST WE SHOULD BE #1!"
"Brother I know we're the beast and we will be the #1 restaurant in New York, but you have to relax or your anger will good in to you food." The mood hanyou snarled at his older wiser sibling. He didn't want to he it, even though it was true. Inuyasha was never good at hiding his feelings. He wanted to show Kagome he more than just a stinking half-breed with a frying pan. He wanted to prove himself to her, he wanted. . . Hell he wasn't sure what he wanted. He just knew her to admit he was the best.
"You know Inu don't you think this war with the Shikon has gotten kind of old? I mean it's a nice place and the food is good too." Inuyasha's ears perked up as he whipped his head around to glare down at the traitorous Kitsune. Shippo knew he said way too much and was wondering how he could make a fast retreat from his angry cousin.
"Shippo? How would you know so much about the Shikon? Huh?"
"Well fun you should ask that. You see I went the a birthday party for a friend of mine there and while I was there I scoped things out." He left the part about it being Kagome's Birthday. Kagome and Inuyasha had such a fierce dislike for each other that they would tempers would flame is one was mentioned to the other. They hate been like this since they meet when they were eight years old.
"So you're just now telling me this! Gods Shippo she's the enemy! Or did you forget the review of the Shikon having faster service?" as soon as the words had come tumbling out he regretted them.
"That was a low blow Inu even for you. We've all received at lest one bad review. So don't take your anger over Kagome out on the rest of us." Kouga stepped in-between the feuding cousins putting his bouncer skills to good use. They were about to open and the last needed was a youkai battle in full swing.
"Cool it both of you. Back to your neutral corners. Were going to open in hour we don't need a floor show." Once the youkai and hanyou back off to a reasonable distance Kouga put in his two cents. " Shippo is right Mutt. You and Kagome have issues but leave the rest of us out of it."
"Feh!" the angry hanyou stormed off to the freezer to pound the shit of a side off beef.
" Thanks for the back up Kouga. I just wish they would stop with all this rivalry bullshit."
"Don't we all? Come on squirt let's finish unloading the truck." The wolf pulled the fox out of the kitchen leaving the others to deal with the raging hanyou.
"Well looks like the steaks will be real tender tonight." Commented Miroku as he and Sesshomaru watched through the freeze glass as Inuyasha hit the beef repeatedly.
"Yes let us hope My brother remebers to remove Kagome's picture from the meat before severing.
AN: well Here is my new story! I deicate this to me best friend The Dark Heart.
