Sadly, I don't own Inu-yasha…but I'll make a killer fanfic anyway! This one is not bad, a few swears, so I think it should be K-T, next one of mine will be worse!

Chapter 1 - Inu-yasha—the grocery man.
--
Inu-yasha shifted the baseball cap on his head that Kagome always made him wear in her era. He had no idea why. But one thing he had noticed many times was that there were no demons in her era, sadly. He always seemed to get bored when she wouldn't come back to the Feudal Era for a while because of 'school' or something, and therefore he wished that some demons would appear.
As he walked alone on the sidewalk while Kagome was in school, he saw a sign posted on a glass wall. It read, 'help wanted! No experience required'. Inu-yasha quickly ran into the store.
"Who needs help?" he asked loudly, so the whole building heard.
"Well," the manager of the store said, who had just come out from the back. "I guess you saw my 'help wanted' sign."
"Ooh greeeat! Another of Kagome's era things I don't know about…" he sighed at the thought of the truck he almost hit with his windscar.
"Did you want to work here?" the manager asked. Inu-yasha nodded. "Alright, come to the back, I need your name, phone number, etc…"
--
"What is your last name?" the manager asked again, frustrated.
'What's a 'last name'?" Inu-yasha asked again, confused. "Oooh! That must be like, Higurashi Kagome...Kagome's 'last name' is Higurashi!"
The manager tapped his finger on the counter, waiting for an answer.
"Higurashi." Inu-yasha replied proudly.
"Alright, then, Higurashi Inu-yasha, what is your phone number?"
--
"Inu-yasha better not have gone out of the house again…" Kagome sighed; Inu-yasha never stayed in or obeyed her, even when she 'sat' him. "Maybe I should put in an electric fence…"
She stopped suddenly, and walked backwards a few steps and peered in the window of a grocery store. Her jaw dropped as she saw Inu-yasha talking to a man inside. Quickly she walked in.
"Oh, hello, miss." The manager said kindly.
"Kagome?" Inu-yasha said shocked, he had planed to be out of there long before she was done school. "I can explain!"
"SIT BOY!" she screamed, and Inu-yasha plunged to the floor.
"And s-she complains I g-g-give away her s-secret…" he mumbled.
"Uhhh…" the manager stared blankly at Kagome, then Inu-yasha.
"Hi, sorry about him!" she smiled kindly at the manager. "My name is Higurashi Kagome."
"Are you his sister, then?" the manager asked.
"Hunh?" she coughed and looked at the red mass that lay on the floor. "What did you do, Inu-yasha?"
"Oh, I don't know, this guy asked me for a 'last name', and a 'peone number'…I don't know what they are, Kagome." He replied as he sat up.
"Uh, miss Higurashi, your brother was just applying for a job, and…"
"He's not my brother!" she screamed. "Did you say he is applying for a job?"
"Uh, yes miss, he is."
"C'mon, Kagome." Inu-yasha begged. "I'm so bored, I want a job!" he said then added quietly. "Whatever a job is…"
"I don't think…" she said.
"Oh, we'll teach him, don't worry." The manager interrupted. "We just need him to answer the last few questions…"
--
"Kagome?"
"Yeah?"
"What's a 'peone number'?"
"It's called a phone number."
"Okay…what's a 'phone number'?"
"It's a number…well, you can call someone else on his or her phone if you put in their phone number!" she smiled. "I did a good job with that explanation!"
"…Kagome?"
"Yes, Inu-yasha?"
"What are a 'phone' and a 'call'?"
"…"
"Kagome?"
"Sit."
--
"Alright, Inu-yasha." Kagome told him as they stood in front of the store that Inu-yasha would work at. "Do everything that the man there says, and don't, I repeat, don't, use your Tetsuiga, got it?"
"Uh, okay."
"Good! I'll be by after school, wait here when your work is done for today until I get here, OK?"
"Yeah, Ok." Inu-yasha entered the building as Kagome went towards her school.
"Oh, good. You're here." The manager said looking up from his work. "The store is about to open and you're early. Kiri over there will teach you what to do." Inu-yasha went to the person the man had called, 'Kiri'.
"Oh, you must be Higurashi Inu-yasha." The girl said, turning to face the red clad, tall white haired man. He looked at her face, and her hair…he shook his head trying not to think of how much it reminded him of Kagura.
"Yeah, I'm Inu-yasha."
"Good, then." She told him to follow, and they went to the back. She showed him how to stack cans, and where, how to unload boxes and put the containments in their proper places. The store wasn't very big, so it was easy for Inu-yasha to learn how to, as he put it, 'move the crap from one place to another'.
--
"So, how was your first day of work?" Kagome asked as she saw Inu-yasha standing on the sidewalk waiting for her.
"Alright, I guess. All I did was move stuff…" he replied.
She laughed. "What did you expect then to tell you what to do, kill demons?" she laughed again.
"…"
"You did?"
"Uh, Kagome, what's a 'till'?"
"Why?"
"They said they'd show me how to work a 'till'."
"Oh no…Inu-yasha serving people?" she thought. "This can't be good…"
