Summary: Kagome works part-time at a diner with her friend Sango. It's a dull job but it pays. A man comes in one day and begins to come everyday at the same time. One day she gets the courage to talk to him...
Disclaimer: Inuyasha is not mine. But this plot is.
Chapter 1Ring! Ring!
Kagome lifted her hand over and shut off her alarm. She opened her eyes and yawned. She sat up and saw snow falling outside. Kagome lifted the covers and walked to her window. Outside was beautiful; the snow covered the ground and the trees.
A group of children were building a snowman and tossing snow in the air. Winter this year was going to be great.
She looked back at her bed and saw her cat, Buyo stretching his large body. "I guess the alarm woke you up too," she said talking to the cat. "It seems as if it rings earlier everyday, or maybe I just go to bed too late." She pondered for a bit. Some birds from outside her window broke her concentration. She looked at the time, then rushed to the bathroom.
Kagome lived in a small apartment with one bathroom and two rooms. She had a full kitchen, a dining room and living room. It was still small and cozy.
After taking a shower and brushing her teeth, Kagome ran to her room to get dressed. She still had half-an-hour before she needed to be at work.
The dress code at work was black pants or skirt and white dress shirt. It wasn't a strict code either Because one of the waitresses got away with wearing a pink blouse to work once and didn't get into trouble. But it might have been because she was sleeping with the diner owner.
Kagome grabbed her bag and keys, locked the door and left to catch the bus. She had only taken two steps out of the building door when she bumped into a tall man and dropped her belongings.
"Oh no!" she called and bent to pick them up. "Sorry about that I was on my way to the bus..." she trailed off as the bus drove off without her. "And there it goes," she watched the bus disappear down the street.
She turned back to look at him. She saw his eyes first. They shone like gold and gave her goose bumps. His hair was white like snow. His skin looked smooth and his lips. His lips...
"Ahem!" he said when he caught her staring. Kagome eyes dropped and that's when she noticed her purple notebook, which dropped from her bag was held in front of her. Kagome felt so embarrassed.
"Oh Thank you!" she said as she took the book in her clumsy hands. By now her face was red.
Kagome stood there wondering how she was going to get to work. Sango had taken her car on Saturday after the party to go dancing with her boyfriend, Miroku.
"Argh! That Sango!" she muttered to herself, not realizing that the man was still there.
"Excuse me," he said.
"I missed the bus and now I'm going to be late for work. You wouldn't happen to have a phone would you? I need to call work and let them know I'll be late. The next bus won't be here for another half hour." She asked him.
He checked his pockets, then looked at her and smiled apologetically. "Sorry, I must have left it in my car,"
Kagome smiled. "Thank you any way, I must get going before I get into trouble at work." With that she started to walk away. With the snow crunching under her feet she almost didn't hear him calling her.
"Wait, how about I drive you to work, I'm sure I could get you there on time. I wouldn't want your boss to be angry with you." He suggested to Kagome.
Kagome looked at him like he was crazy. He just asked a woman if she wanted a ride to work. And he expects her to say 'Yeah, sure I'll get into your car! Perfect stranger.'
"Don't worry I won't kidnap you if that's what you think." He said to reassure her.
"Okay what about you? What will yours say?" she asked.
"Don't worry about me. I can handle him." He smiled at her. "My car is around the corner. This way." He said as he started walking.
Kagome didn't really have a choice. She didn't want Onigumo angry with her if she was late. No way!
When they got to the car a short, stubby man came out and opened the door for them. Kagome jumped when she saw the man get out of the car.
Kagome got into the car after introductions and told the driver, Myoga the directions. As Myoga drove, this strange man and Kagome talked in the back seat. They talked about school. They actually went to the same school, but never saw each other. Kagome was in her first year of college. He was in his second. Making her eighteen and him nineteen.
They got to the front of the diner and he gave Kagome his card.
"Thanks. I'm Kagome, by the way." She waved. "Nice to meet you Kagome, my name is on the card and so is my number. Feel free to call." He smiled as his car drove off.
Kagome thought it was odd, but looked at the card. 'Inuyasha Inutaishio, Second hottest bachelor of the year, in Tokyo. Second heir to Inutaishio Company. (574) 415-8663 (Call me)'
"Well now no wonder he was so arrogant." Kagome said to herself. She walked into the small diner and saw Sango and Kikyo putting on their aprons.
The three girls were waitresses. Sango's little brother was a part-time waiter/delivery boy and he did some of the loading and unloading in the back.
Onigumo was the owner of the place, he really wasn't nice to work with, but he paid well.
Miroku walked in, he was allowed in before opening time, Onigumo wasn't there so early in the morning. Miroku was an everyday customer, of course because he and Sango are and item now. He had been in love with her in high school, maybe even junior high.
In school Kikyo was like those snobby, mean girls. The type of girls that drooled all over the hot guys and wasn't really into learning anything useful in school. Except 10 tips into getting a hot man, or how to French a hot man. Which she probably got from a magazine...
Sango was hot and still is, but she used to beat up any guy that asked her out. Then came along Miroku and her heart began to soften.
That was the gang at Shikon high school. Those were the days, just the three of them. But now Kagome was just a third wheel and didn't join them much when they partied.
"Hey guys, you wouldn't believe what just happened to me." She told her Sango and Miroku. "You know Inuyasha, the heir to Inutaishio Co. Yeah well, I bumped into him this morning and he made me late for the bus." When Kikyo heard the name she interrupted Kagome.
She pushed Miroku out of the way to talk to Kagome. "You saw Inuyasha, where is he? Where did he go now? Tell me!" she demanded.
"Kikyo I don't know where he is or where he was going." She told her. "Then you're lying."
"No really, I did see him, he gave me a ride to work and gave me his card. He told me to call him." Kagome told Kikyo and held out the card.
"Are you going to call him then?" Sango asked. "No." She said and gave Sango a disgusted look.
"Then give me the card." Kikyo yelled. "Fine you can have it. You don't have to yell." She said as Kikyo grabbed the card from her hand.
"Rude." She said when she turned around. Sango just laughed and went to put the open sign out.
An hour later the diner was warm with smiling customers, but by ten they were off to work again.
Then he walked in and sat in one of the window seats.
