Chapter 2-Why? (We don't own Inu Yasha or any of the charectors...whaaa) Hey all, I'm moving in liketwo days so everyone scream...'yea'...I get to go torture some other small town...lol But anyways, if I don't get back to you soon don't worry it just means that I haven't found a computer yet. But I'll try. Always, TTFN- Neptune mistress of the seas

The 19 year old wakes up reluctantly as an annoying buzzing can be heard through out the one bedroom apartment. She hits the off button ans starts to climb out of the pink colored bed. She finally gets up stumbling to the small bathroom and dirty mirror. Looking at her reflection she calmly reminds herself, "Everything's going to be okay." She brushes her teeth quickly and puts her raven black hair into a messy bun. She then puts on the little makeup she can afford. Shetugs off her night clothes as shewalks back to her room looking for something else to wear. She finds her jeans on the floor and pulls them on as the doorbell rings."Shit," she curses under her breath as she walks to the door in only some torn jeans and a black bra. Kagome looks out the small peephole to see her best friend Sango yelling at someone on her cell phone. She opoens the door a little allowing Sango to come in. "Hey Sango," she says smiling.

"No, Inu Yasha we can't come in early again! We have school remember! Why don't you ask your little..." Inu Yasha hangs up the phone before Sango can tell him what she thinks of his girlfriend. "Oh hey Kags." Sango says her anger gone once more. Kagome smiles before walking into her room and grabbing a shirt. "One day I'm gonna tell him what I think of his girlfriend, his club and him. Then I'm gonna walk out with my head high and slam the door never looking back," Sango says proudly.

"Okay...just not today...please," Kagome says to her friend as they walk out the front door. Kagome locks the door with a sigh for her friend gave no answer, 'I need this job Sango. I need it for me and for Shippo,' she thinks sadly.

"Okay Kags. I won't do it today. Hey how 'bout we ditch class and go look for a better job before visiting Shippo?" Sango asks. Kagome nods and they take off.

A few hours have passed and they've been everywhere from the school cafeteria to Walmart. Noone was hiring, or at least not hiring them. They turn into the orphanage and Sango turns the car's engine off.

They walk inside and are greeted by one of the many lovly staff members. "What do yo want," says an old lady smoking a ciggarette at the front desk.

"I'm here to see Shippo," says Kagome kindly knowing full well that the lady doesn't aprove of her career. Before the gray-haired lady could make up a lie as to why he isn't here Shippo came running form one of the rooms.

He jumps into her arms. "Mommy, it's been a week where..." Shippo starts whining at his mother like figure.

"Shh, it's all right I'm here now," she says sweetly to the boy she sees as her son.

"Hi Mrs. Sango," says Shippo to the older woman. The 22 year old bends down and whispers something in his ear and gives him a kiss on the cheek. Shippo lights up and gives Kagome a big hug holding her close. "I love you mommy," he says before pausing, "Mommy when can I come home with you?"

Kagome's heart sinks at the child's question. It wasn't the first time he's asked but still. "They won't let me adopt you yet sweetie, but soon..." she says hugging him closer still. She adds in her mind, 'Now all I have to do is win the lottery.' They stay with Shippo for awhile longer before heading to work.

The girls take the side door to the club and head straight towards the staff room to change. "And Inu Yasha gave me a raise for...good work," they hear Kikyou telling the 24 year old Kagura and the 18 year old Kanna. Kagome and Sango inwardly cringe at the thought of the "good work." They open their lockers and put on their uniforms trying not to think of thebitches on the other side.

They begin to walk out as Kikyou comes up to them. "Out of my way hoe," she says as the girls push Kagome aside.

"Sorry Kikyou that spot is reserved for you. Damn bitch," she yells out of anger.

They walk past a gaping Kikyou and towards the oh-so hottie bartender. "Hey Sesshie," she says giggling as he raises an eyebrow at the woman that stole his heart.

"Hello Kagome," he says with a hint of an erotic tone. "Sango," he says as she nods towards him. They both smile at him before picking up their trays and beginning work.

Sesshoumaru watches Kagome in her small waitress outfit. The black shirt clings against her developing chest, but leaves the rest of her tanned stomach in his sight. Her milky skin complaments the dark blue jeansskirt that reaches from right below her belly butoon to above her knees. 'The ruffles draw more attention to her a...' Sesshoumaru stops mid thought because he's starting to drool.

"Um, Sesshoumaru," calls Sango waving her hand infront of the 25 year old bartender's face.

He snaps out of his thoughts and turns to the woman asking her what she needs. "2 bloody marys for..." Sanso starts.

"...my half wit brother and his stripper girlfriend," he finishes. Sesshoumaru gives her the drinks as a lot of idiots rushthrough the club doorswanting to satisfy their needs.

"Inu Yasha wants you," says Kagura to Kagome as she walks over to Sango.

"Okay," Kagome answers Kagura before turning towards Sango. "Better let me," she says taking the drinks. She walksinto the door with black letters marked "PRIVATE" and thenproceedsdown the hall. 'It's soquiet in here,' she thinks to herself. She gets to Inu Yasha's office and lightly knocks on the door.

"Come in," comes InuYasha's voice therough the wooden door. She walks in slowly and sees the usual sight of Inu Yasha at his messy desk pretending to work and Kikyou sitting on the leather couch.

'They actually think noone knows. Idiots,' she thinkd to herself. Inu Yasha motions for her to sit in the small chair in fornt of his deskwhich she does after setting the drinks down.

"Kagome, how much do you need this job?" he asks.

"A lot," Kagome answers. 'Stupid idiots,' she adds in her mind.

"You will not be rude to other staff members again. Do I make myself clear?" he asks a bit louder this time.

"Yes, sir," she says. 'Yeah that's right protect the damn bitch...asshole. Why can't you ever protect m...'

"Kagome..." Inu Yasha pauses giving the young woman time to meet his look. She stands up getting ready to leave. "One more thing...seeing how Kikyou is rather delicate and how you hurt her earlier you will fill in her today!" he announces as if it's nothing for the waitress. He smiles at her reaction.

"What? I'm not a stripper. I won't do it," she yells thoughno one outside the room can hear her.

"Then you're fired. I'll go find Sango and if she won't do it either then she'll also join you in the unemployment ranks," he yells back.

"No, we need this job. But why can't Miroku do it?" she asks.

"He doesn't come in till later tonight and besides your the cause of her pain. So...get out of my club or put on a show..."
