Kagome's Music Store

Disclaimer: Do not own the original Inuyasha characters. However, some characters in the story are mine. Enjoy!

Chapter one: Such a delinquent…

Kagome was very giddy as she walked home. She was heading back from her job at a CD store. She originally got it six months ago, but today she was promoted to manager. However, the owner of the store was fired by the owner of the company shortly after. The owner of the company knew that she was the manager and actually gave her the store! She couldn't do whatever she wanted and she wasn't her own boss, but she owned the store, and that was enough for her.

"Hey mom, I'm home!"

"Hello Kagome, Inuyasha's here,"

Kagome wasn't really surprised. Ever since they defeated Naraku, he let her go home anytime she wanted unless there was a rumor of a jewel shard. She felt bad about breaking it again, but that's not why she wasn't surprised. Even though he let her go home fairly often now, that didn't mean he left her alone. Whenever she came back to her time, she could expect him to be there too. She walked into her room and saw Inuyasha sitting at her computer desk petting her cat. He looked up and smiled, "Hey Kagome,"

"Hey," she answered back in a very happy voice.

"What's up with you?" he asked simply curious, he loved seeing her happy.

"I just got ownership to the store I've been working at for the past half a year!"

Inuyasha didn't really know what that meant, but if it made her happy, it made him happy. "That's great!"

"I know! Are we going back today?"

"…Not if you don't wanna,"

Kagome knew he really didn't want go back. After all, it was the night of the new moon. "Why don't you stay here?"

Inuyasha blushed, "Huh?"

"Yeah, you could sleep on the couch or floor or wherever,"

"Why?"

"I know what night it is," she stated simply.

"Right, well I think I'll sleep on the couch,"

"Okay, but I have to go to work early tomorrow,"

"Alright, so do I get my kiss goodbye now?"

Kagome blushed, "Sure," she said as she leaned up and kissed him.

The next morning, Kagome got up and started to get ready. As much as she hated her uniform, it was one of those things she couldn't change. She finished getting ready and grabbed a quick piece of toast before heading out. She got to her (never got tired of calling it that) music store and sat behind her (or that) desk.

It was all-in-all a pretty normal day. That is, until after lunch time. She sat there after coming off her break as she heard the little customer bell ring from the door-way. She looked up to see a young man. He was pale and had piercing eyes, and he was fairly...extremely tall compared to her. He was about maybe six-foot, she was only like, what? Five-two? He was wearing a black hat that was backwards and low on his forehead. He also wore a baggy hoodie that had red script on the black background. He wore "skater-boy" shoes and baggy black jeans. Finally, he was wearing a grey tank-top under his hoodie. As he searched the sections, she caught the front of his hat, it said "disturbed". At first, she was in agreement, and then she blushed deeply as she realized it meant the band. She held in a shocked gasp as she saw the man walking towards the desk with a CD in hand. Oh no, it wasn't the fact that he was there to buy a CD from a CD store, it was more those piercing eyes she had noticed. She could see the color clearly now, and they were gold…gold. And as he got closer, she saw a few strands of his hair (the longest two inches above his shoulders, the shortest piece just below his ears) hanging out of his hat. It was white…and black granted. It had some black streaks and the tips were black too. It was his eyes that held most of her attention, but she couldn't help but notice that his hair looked like it had been cut and styled with a rusty sword. He handed her the CD.

"'Disturbed'? Isn't that a little punk-rock?" Kagome asked with a bit of attitude…she didn't like this guy.

"Maybe I like punk-rock," the man said returning her attitude.

"I don't know, seems a little dark and deceiving,"

"You're looking at mister 'dark and deceiving' himself. Besides, isn't the motto 'have it your way'?"

"That's Burger King,"

"Well I think it applies nicely here. Besides, the customer is always right,"

"I thought it was 'have it your way',"

"Same concept, if it's you're way, then your way is obviously right, ergo-"

"Yeah, I get it," she said before mumbling in a voice even she could barely hear, "Know-it-all,"

"Well, maybe not all," the man said with a smirk.

Kagome looked up surprised, "You heard that!?"

"Yeah, it's a little thing called, hm, I dunno, maybe…ah yes, hearing," he said with a major attitude.

"You know what, why don't you take your CD and go?" she said handing it to him.

"Finally," he replied with a roll of his eyes as he took the CD and left.

She growled lightly under her breath as she slumped back into her seat. The rest of the day went by, as it seemed to her, very boringly after the young man left. She walked home in less than a good mood. It was something about the guy's attitude, it sounded so familiar…

"Hey mom,"

"Hey dear, Inuyasha's in the living room,"

"…Doing what?"

"Playing video games with Souta,"

"…Are you serious?"

"Ha! I win!" she heard the hanyou cry.

"Apparently," Kagome said with a smile as she entered the living room.

"'Sup Kagome," Inuyasha said with a cocky smile.

"Hey, so you won?"

"Oh yeah!" he said as he smile went to a smirk toward her brother. A very familiar smirk… "So how was work?"

"Good, except for this delinquent boy,"

"Huh?"

"This guy, he was such a delinquent…"
"Oh, he didn't give you any trouble did he?"

"Not anymore than you did when we first met,"

"He tried to kill you!?"

"No! I meant, he gave me a real attitude, just like yours," just like his…

"Oh, okay, well at least he's gone now,"

"Yeah,"

"Kids, time for dinner!" Mrs. Higurashi called from the kitchen. They finished dinner quickly, and Kagome was out like a light.
