This story just popped into my head one night when I was thinking back on
all the movies I have seen (which took a lot of thinking).
This is loosely (very loosely) based on the movie Home Fries.
Disclaimer: What do you think? I own that deliciously handsome hanyou that is in my dreams and my TV every night since I can remember? No I don't. Now leave me alone as I cry myself to sleep -_-;

How could she have possibly have thought that this would be a wise way to make money? No, she wasn't selling herself; she was doing something far, far worse than that. The most disgusting, loathsome job she could have possibly picked from the thick pages of the classifieds. Two words, Fast Food.
The grease would always jump out for a surprise visit from the fryers and you had to wear those hairnets, which have yet to appear in a fashion magazine as the latest trend. How she hated, no loathed this despicable job.
But hey a girl's got to make some money otherwise she would be living like the beef patty that was currently burning on the grill. Processed until all the nutrients were squished from her and then forgotten on a grill, left to burn; speaking of which she really should get that patty off of the grill.
Taking the dreaded spatula she flipped the burger onto the sesame bun and added all the desired fixings of the happy customer (which is always right according to her boss). She wrapped the disgusting burger in a foil wrapper and slid it down the chute for the person at the front to pick it up.
She heard the chiming of a bell somewhere overhead, which indicated the arrival of someone at the drive thru. Picking up the headset she placed it over her right ear and adjust the microphone in front of her lips, "Hello, welcome to Burgerama. This is Kagome Higurashi, what can I get for you today?" She said through the microphone, but what she really wanted to say is, 'Hi my name is Kagome Higurashi and I would much appreciate it if you would stick a revolver to my head and end this pitiful existence that is my life and get me away from the Burgerama for ever.'
Fortunately, she keeps her tongue and prepares to take down their order. Unfortunately it appears that these people have even more pitiful life than hers. "Is your refrigerator running?" Comes the crackling response over the earpiece, followed by several sniggers.
"Yes, it is as a matter of fact. Not only that but it is the deluxe model guaranteed to hold over fifty boxes of prepackaged meat and anything you could possibly want to put on them. It also includes the safety feature that keeps you from being locked in no matter what the situation." She said her rehearsed speech into the headset seeing as so many immature little brats seem to roam around these parts.
"Umm, well then. YOU BETTER GO CATCH IT!" Came the witty response from the other end as she saw a bright red, rusty pickup fly by the window with several members squished together laughing vividly to themselves as though they had told the funnies joke since, 'Why did the chicken cross the road?'. Some people just don't understand sarcasm.
Rolling her eyes, she removed the headset and got back to work. Looking up at the clock she saw that she still had five more hours to go before her shift was up at eleven o' clock. 'When will the agony end?' Kagome thought to herself as she went to check on the grease sponges they called French fries.

"We have to make this a quick one. Police have been swarming around this neighborhood the past couple days." A girl with long brown hair and maroon eyes spoke through a walkie-talkie as she looked through the binoculars down on the apparently empty alley below.
"I believe we have a leak in the organization; we'll start investigating it tomorrow." Came the crackly response from a man with violet eyes and black hair tied in a dragon's tail at the base of his neck at the rooftop opposite of hers. He was loading his pistol with ammunition and putting the safety on.
"I'll bet you anything it's that damn wimpy wolf." Said a man with long silver hair carefully tucked into his black cap with piercing golden eyes looking for any signs of movement in the alleyway, "It's too quiet." He said and almost on cue came the crash of a trashcan in the shadowed part of the alley.
"Sango, check the night vision." The man with the black hair told her as he squinted through the darkness attempting to see through the dense shadows. Following orders, said girl quickly lifted the night vision goggles in front of her eyes and peered through the lenses to see the outline of a man.
"He's our guy alright." Sango said as placed the goggles in a pocket on her belt and reached for a small pistol and placed a silencer on it, "Miroku, you come on from the front, Inu Yasha, you cut off his escape from the back, and I will act as look out from up here." The two boys nodded in agreement as they took their separate ways while Sango took aim with her pistol and focused on the figure about to emerge from the shadows.
Each slipping into a by-alleyway they emerged at the same time keeping the stranger's escape near impossible. As if sensing their presence, the stranger looked up and showed no sign of fear or surprise that the two were in front of him. "Ah, I was wondering when you would show yourselves." He said with a hint of amusement in his voice.
"I wouldn't be so confident, Hiten we have you surrounded." Inu Yasha said taking a step closer and pulling out his own pistol, Miroku followed suit.
"It is you who is surrounded you worthless hanyou. Do you truly believe I will be taken down by a weak human and mere half breed?" He asked as he looked to the sky, "Manten, now!" He shouted as a dark cloud swirled overhead and a positively revolting creature's head appeared over the side. As Manten opened his mouth they saw a yellow flash in the back of his throat.
Both Miroku and Inu Yasha raised their guns to him, but Sango beat them to the chase. However, their momentary lapse in concentration of the target in front of them cost them, for at that moment Hiten hit Miroku with a lightening bolt and was about to do the same with Inu Yasha, but he leapt to the side and only lost a few of his hairs.
Inu Yasha heard more shots overhead, which told him that Sango hadn't killed with the first shot. Usually with a silencer on normal humans can't hear the shots, but Inu Yasha could hear them clear as a bell. He looked across the alleyway and saw Miroku unconscious next to the dumpster, 'Damn it. I guess I'm taking him on alone.' Inu Yasha thought to himself as he took aim with his pistol and aimed it directly between Hiten's eyes. Soon a shot was heard again from above and with a heavy thud, down came Manten's body with a hole in his right temple, "Manten, NO!" Came Hiten's plea as he jumped out of Inu Yasha's aim and beside his brother, "You killed him. YOU KILLED HIM!" Hiten screamed, "NOW I'M GUNNA KILL YOU!" He said and with that he lunged at Sango, but Inu Yasha was too quick and shot him several times in the back, successfully bringing him down.
Taking a breath of relief, Sango picked up her walkie-talkie and got a hold of headquarters, "Hello, yes this is Agent 1316, team Shikon has successfully brought down our targets. Have the disposal service come and pick them up at..." Inu Yasha quit listening to her conversation as went to get Miroku. He seemed to be coming around, but Inu Yasha could tell, even in this light, that there was a dark purple bruise appearing at his hairline.
Miroku looked up at Inu yasha, gave a small smile and then proceeded to throw up. "Oh, great," Inu Yasha said as he swung Miroku's arm over his shoulders as he hauled him up, "You have a concussion."
He returned below the roof Sango was on and proceeded to jump up and land beside her. He began packing up the surveillance equipment as Sango gave out the important details about the headquarters location seeing as they changed position every few months when, "What the hell?" Sango said as her walkie-talkie sqealched (A/N: I made up that word) and you could some very unusual messages coming over form the other end:
"Oh, my God?" Said a crackly voice, yet clear none the less. They had a problem.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome looked at the clock and saw that she only had fifteen minutes until her shift was finally over and she could go home and get her daily dose of Internet and sleep before she trudged back to this hellhole. She heard the Ding yet again, signaling a car at the drive thru.
"Hello, welcome to Burgerama. I'm Kagome Higurashi, how may I help you?" She said with false cheeriness over the headset.
"Yes, I would like a-*crackle*-fries-*crackle*-urger-*crackle*-ecial" Came the crackly reply over the earpiece as it began to break up.
"I'm sorry sir, could you repeat that?" She asked as she adjusted the frequency on the side. Soon came a message she would have never suspected.
"...this is Agent 1316, team Shikon has successfully brought down our targets. Have the disposal service come and pick them up at the alleyway of East and Seventh. Tell the Disposal Service that the new headquarters of the S.U.A. has been moved to the docks."
'Oh, my God' Kagome thought as she listened very closely. It sounded as if these people had killed someone. "Oh, my God." She said into the microphone and clamped a hand over her mouth when she heard the crackling reply.
"What the hell?" Kagome had a problem.
