Chapter 1: Job Hunting
Kagome eyed wearily at the one week old newspaper on her hands. She let out a deep sigh as she exited the fifth building this day and yet, no good results have come out. She slumped her shoulders in defeat when she saw that four of the encircled ads on the newspaper have a big red 'X' mark on it, done by her. Finally, the last one is now patiently waiting to be crossed out too.
Kagome stared at her stomach from where a disgusting grumbling sound emanated. Oh! I forgot! I haven't eaten breakfast or lunch yet! But yet, she can't do anything when she remembered her empty wallet and penniless pocket. Blame those things too why her feet were swollen from hours of walking.
It was nearly two o'clock pm and she went out from their home to find a job. She needs a part-time job to support her college studies. She is in her graduating year now in her HRM course. Their family is currently experiencing great financial problem since her dearest little brother, Souta, is studying too, and her beloved granny need his oh so expensive medicines. Her mom is not getting any younger too so she can't work regularly. She won't allow her dear Kagome to stop studying since she is their last hope.
Flashback (one week earlier)
"You can't stop studying! I'll try hard just to make sure that you and you brother would be in good life before I join your father wherever he is."
"Stop talking like your gonna die tomorrow! Mom, I'll work so that Souta can conti—" She paused when she remembered that Souta is still in his first year in high school and is waaayyy too far in earning a degree in college.
"I'll do anything for the two of you. Besides it's only one year and your finally graduating. Don't lose hope." Mrs. Higurashi calmly told her daughter before going up the stairs.
Kagome sat down the couch and thought of a way of helping her mom. She reached for a newspaper and immediately read it for job hunting.
End of Flashback
Being a young adult as she was, she started to try working on her own. Things are not the same after my dad died. She sighed. She remembered how she carefree was she when he was still alive. How she wasted every money she was given. How she wasted every single cent of it. But yet, who can predict the future? Everything happened so fast. If she had only known that this thing is gonna happen, she probably did the opposite thing. I guess I have to learn it the hardest way.
"What do I do now? What future can be waiting for me and my family?" She murmured while walking, holding a folder containing her resume and important documents. She sat on a bench at a nearby park and let the cool breeze engulf her exhausted form. Removing her high heeled shoes from her aching foot, she massaged the swollen poor thing and put it beside her hand bag which is neatly resting too beside her.
"Are you ready?" A guy from behind a sakura tree told another guy while they eyed the raven-haired girl peacefully sitting alone in her bench.
"I'm more than ready." He smirked evilly.
In just a blink of an eye, the two men in black hurriedly ran past the girl and grabbed Kagome's black handbag. Her eyes widened in surprise and her instincts told her to run after them, not to mention, barefooted, but she merely noticed it. Her important documents she used for the job interview were flying everywhere.
"Come back here, you piece of SHIT!!!!" She screamed while running furiously down the alley, with her black knee-length skirt.
She continued running after the men, people looking at her with surprised faces instead of helping her. She ran and bumped into people, running from an alley to another until she reached the…
The HIGHWAY!!! Her mind suddenly screamed when she heard hundreds of honks on the street that nearly burst her eardrums. And the men she had been following was miraculously… GONE!
A loud and outrageously long BEEPPPPPPPP reached Kagome's ears as her eyes widened and absent-mindedly screamed "SHIIIIITTTTT" while her hands are on her ears.
SCRREEEEECCCHHHH A deafening sound of tires that were obviously forced to stop from rolling at its maximum speed was heard. Kagome was still standing in the middle of the road, saying a flood of curses.
"Are you crazy, woman?!" A guy obviously outraged guy about her age came out from the passenger seat of the black limousine.
"I'm still alive!! Arigatou gozaimasu, Kami-sama!" She prayed loudly. She noticed the guy with long silver hair screaming at her.
"Arigatou for sparing my life!" She remained in that horizontal position, her head almost leveled with the knees of the person in front of her. "You bastard, scaring the shit out of me, and almost killing me…" She mumbled and hissed while 'expressing her gratitude'.
"What did you say?!" His vein twitched when his sensitive ears heard what she said.
"Inuyasha, stop shouting at the lady like that." A voice interrupted.
"Didn't you mother told you not to play along the highways? You know that the cars here travel lots of miles an hour! You almost gave me a heart attack, ya know!" The young man told Kagome who was still in the same position.
"Young lady, straighten your body up." She slowly raised her upper torso and saw a middle aged man with a silver hair too.
"And you managed to play in the street barefo-" He stopped in the middle of his sentence when he saw the face of the girl and said, "Kikyo?"
"Gomen nasai, but Kagome's the name." Inutaisho!! The owner of the Taisho Empire! The first good thing that happened to me today! Kagome grinned evilly in her mind.
Her tone became suddenly soft, and she became respectful. Where's the flood of curse words? Inuyasha noticed.
"Young lady, we can give you a ride as a payback for my son's rude behavior a while ago." Inutaisho offered.
"Yeah, perhaps. Sorry for a while ago, Kikyo." Inuyasha dumbly scratched his head.
"It's Kagome, dimwit." Kagome rolled her eyes to Inuyasha. Inuyasha glared at her.
The three of them occupied the passenger's seat as Inutaisho started questioning Kagome.
"Care to explain what happened, young lady?" He calmly asked.
