Chapter 1

Tips and a Cinnamon Dolce Latte

-X-X-X-X- Hello! This is my comeback. I left the site for a while, but I'm back now and my mind is full of ideas. I was previously known as TsukariTheDemonCat, and I had three fan fictions which I deleted myself when I took a break. I wish I still have them but sadly, I don't. It's okay though, because now I'm here with my next story, so enjoy! -X-X-X-X-

~X~X~X~X~

Kagome Higurashi sighed as she dropped ten cents into her tip jar. It was a small amount, but she reminded herself that every penny counts.

Someone walked by her and dropped a five dollar bill in her jar. Kagome gasped startled and looked up to see her best friend Sango Mitsoyu making a Frappuccino.

"Sango!" she squealed, thrusting the dollar bill back towards her friend. "I can't take your money! Take it back!"

Sango just laughed as she added whip cream to the top of the Frappuccino. "Don't worry about it! We get paid today, remember? Besides Kags, you totally earned it."

"But-" Kagome tried to protest but Sango cut her off.

"But nothing. Close your mouth, you'll start drooling." Sango went back to the counter and handed the Frappuccino to a customer and began taking the next order.

Kagome shook her head in defeat. Sango and Kagome both worked at the Crazy Cup Coffee shop, and Sango was always helping her out like this.

Sango was the greatest friend Kagome could ever hope for. They had met in the local park one day when they were both in third grade. Sango had stuck up for Kagome when some fifth graders were picking on her and they became friends almost immediately. Kagome still remembered that day…

~X~X~FLASHBACK~X~X~

"Haha! Kagome doesn't have a dad! Haha!"

"Stop it! I do too have a daddy! He'll come to get me after work, you'll see!" Kagome started to cry knowing that wasn't true. Her dad had left before she was born, and there was no way he'd come back just because she willed him too.

"Hey! Why don't you go pick on someone your own size?" another girl with dark brown hair walked up to the bullies looking them right in the eyes. "Do you feel better knowing that you've caused a small girl to cry? I bet you don't even have a mommy."

The leader of the group, Koga glared. "How do you know that..?"

"I can just tell. Only someone with insecurities would be low enough to pick on someone else for their own enjoyment." Sango stated matter-of-factly.

Koga stood there speechless. He growled angrily and motioned for him and his gang to leave the park.

When they were gone Kagome turned to Sango, her sadness momentarily forgotten. "That was… amazing!" Kagome jumped up and down excitedly.

"Really?" Sango looked at Kagome for a second. "I… I don't have a daddy either…"

Kagome's face melted. "I'm s-sorry…" Kagome thought for a moment and her face lit up. "I have an idea! Why don't we not have daddies together!"

Sango stood there in shock. "Okay… Yeah!"

Thus began their long friendship.

~X~X~END OF FLASHBACK~X~X~

"Hello! Earth to Kagome?" Kagome was pulled out of her thoughts by Sango's ushered hand waving in front of her.

"Wha- Oh! Sorry!" Kagome jumped, suddenly alert.

"I need two hot chocolates and a banana-mango smoothie." Sango ordered.

"I'm on it." Kagome was blending bananas when the one and only Kikyo Satoru came into the coffee shop.

Kikyo had been Kagome's bitter rival since who knows when. Despite their similar appearances, they were nothing alike. Kikyo got everything she wanted, being the daughter of a very rich executive, whereas Kagome had to work hard for anything she wanted. It made a huge difference in their personalities.

Kikyo walked over to the counter with her eyes glued to her phone and her mouth rambling about the latest gossip. Yura, Kikyo's best friend was "Yeah-ing" and "A-huh-ing" at every queue while fiddling with her hair.

When it was her turn to order, Kikyo finally looked up at Sango and smirked. "I want a Cinnamon Dolce Latte using non-fat milk and no whip cream. Think you can remember that Snagot?" Kikyo asked innocently.

"Of course your majesty. Wouldn't want to make you any fatter," Sango retorted, wiping the grin off Kikyo's face.

Kagome snickered receiving a glare from Kikyo who then returned to her phone. What she said next got Kagome's attention. "Yura, did you hear about the new family who moved here? There are two brothers; one's an adult but the other… He's our age and he's supposedly really hot!" Kikyo fanned herself. "I've made it my life's ambition to make him my boyfriend."

"Don't you already have a boyfriend?" Yura asked in a dull voice as Kagome handed Kikyo her latte.

"Not for long. Here," Kikyo threw Kagome a ten dollar bill. "Keep the change. You need it." Kikyo gave her a wicked smile as she left the coffee shop.

"Uhg. She's the last person I'd want to get a tip from." Kagome complained. "Have you heard anything about the new family that moved here?" she was curios.

"Nothing other than that their last name is Takahashi and that one of the sons is going to our school. Why do you ask?" Sango answered raising an eyebrow.

"No reason… No reason at all."

-X-X-X-X- What did you think? Should I continue? Please review! I'd love to know what you think. If I get enough feedback I'll continue, 'cause I've got some ideas of where this might go… Have a nice day!-X-X-X-X-

Preview of Chapter 2:

Kagome wasn't really paying attention to who she was taking orders from; she was on autopilot. "Next order?" she asked without looking up from the computer/register.

"Can I order a super cute employee with beautiful raven hair?" a deep voice asked.

"Sure thin- Wait what!"
