Chapter Four, Enter, Kagome Hakkaido
Kagome Hakkaido walked down the stairs in her apartment, grabbed a light jacket, and headed out the door.
Today, she had her long, gorgeous raven hair pulled back, out of her way, in a pony tail, with a casual blue jean skirt and a thin red shirt. She was walking to work.
She had to earn some money to support herself. The apartment she currently lived in was small and not that nice, so she was going to save up to rent a better place.
When she finally reached the mall, she walked in the store, and put on a small blue apron ready to have a long, boring day.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inuyasha had finally figured out how the world worked.
Number one, You can't hit and scream in public...which for him it meant no yelling and hitting people, making them scream.
Number two, You can't murder...that meant even when people made him so mad...no matter how furious, not to kill them. Aimi also made him leave Tetsusaiga at home.
And numer three, you can't steal. It doesn't matter if you can get away with it, you still can't do it. Or shouldn't, anyway.
Because there were consequences.
It wasn't like this in the Feudal Era, but Inuyasha was getting used to it.
And he had learned you needed money for almost everything. Just about nothing was free these days.
So Aimi suggested he get a job. Now, Aimi wasn't crazy! She had taught him manners, and all the basics. Like, say please and thank you. Shaking hands. Talking politely. Saying "excuse me" when you run into someone. Eating correctly, and neatly. All those.
She had gotten him a job at a pet store in the mall, since he was good with animals and seemed to like them (lol...think Buyo the cat!).
He agreed to this and promised he would act nice and behaved.
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
Today was his first day of work, and he was a little nervous. Aimi said she would drop him off since it was his first day and he would already have it hard enough. He would learn alot today.
But his next day off of work, before school started, she was going to take him to get his drivers licence and a cell phone.
So he could drive himself around and have a little freedom, being the teenager he was.
After a few minutes they arrived at the mall.
"Inuyasha, do you remember where to go?" she asked.
"Yes. If I get lost, I'll sniff the animals out and find the store that way," he said trying to remember exactly where the store was, his facial expression was very amusing now.
"Alright, Inuyasha, you have the house number memorized and we have the shop's number at home. Now, remember, it's called Pettos Tenpo," she reminded him, now laughing.
"Okay, bye Aimi."
"Bye, 'Yasha," she smiled before pulling out of the parking lot and driving away.
Inuyasha then walked in, looking around the mall, trying to find his way to the pet store.
.---.---.---.---.---.---.---.---.---.---.---.---.---.---.---.---.---.---.---.---.---.
After ten minutes of running and searching through the mall, he found it. He then walked in casually, looking around.
"Hello there. You wouldn't be Inuyasha, would you?"a voice said from behind him, tapping him on the shoulder, while showing an obnoxious smile.
Inuyasha turned around quickly and spat back at him, "Yeah, I am." He had seen this guy before. He couldn't forget that guy's clueless, goofy grin. What was his name?
Hobo...
Homo...
No...
"Well, hi there Inuyasha. We'll be working together. I hope we can become the best of friends!" he said still grinning like the idiot he was.
Hojo! Hojo was his name.
That stupid baka that never game up on his Kagome. And now he didn't recognize Inuyasha either, which was good.
"Feh, tough chance," Inuyasha muttered back looking past him.
"And by the way, my name's Hojo."
Hojo acted as if he didn't hear him at all and grabbed his shoulder leading him to the back of the store and telling him what he needed to do and know for the job.
When they came back to the front of the store, he saw her...
that girl...
'Kagome...?'
The girl he had seen a few days ago was standind behing the desk. She looked like an exact copy of Kagome. Especially up close.
"Oh, yes, Inuyasha! Meet Kagome Hakkaido. She works here as well and will be working the cash register for a while."
'Hakkaido? ...Huh!?'
Kagome looked over at him boredly, and made a sarcastic smile and a little wave that looked sort of like the one's they do in the military and then looked back to stare at her magazine some more.
"She doesn't talk much, by the way, Inuyasha," Hojo whispered to him before leaving to the back to finish some work.
Hojo shut the door behind him.
"Yeah, hi, Inuyasha. I'm Kagome Hakkaido. That idiot, Hojo, back there is very annoying so I just don't talk much in front of him, so he won't talk to me," she added, still looking straight at her magazine.
"Uhh...yeah, haha..." Inuyasha laughed nervously inching his way around the store.
This girl was not Kagome...
But she even had the same voice...
What's a hanyou to do anyways?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Kagome, I must be going crazy,' he thought in his head. All day he had been staring at her from different positions.
She was too real.
Well...she was real...
But was she his Kagome Higurashi real?
"Inuyasha, babe, are you gonna stare at me all day or are you gonna do actually do your job?" she asked with a sly smirk, but still never taking her eyes off the magazine.
The half demon jumped back and blushed a deep red. Kagome just laughed.
'How could she have seen me?'
He spent the rest of the day feeding the animals and when it was time to leave, he slowly walked home, still too embarrased to look at Kagome Hakkaido.
---'---'---'---'---'---'---'---'---'---'---'---'---'---'---'---
Kagome Hakkaido walked into her home, putting her coat onto the coat rack and going upstairs.
Tired from standing at the little desk and being stared at by a seventeen year old boy, she went into the bathroom about to take a bath.
But then, she started to cry.
She didn't know who she truely was anymore.
She didn't have any family, or friends.
No one.
No one at all.
All she truely knew was that her name was Kagome. And that was it.
