Akira wok up with a tremendous head ach, when he opened his eyes he saw it was dark out side, Panicked Akira jumped out of bed and quickly changed in his clothes, and ran out of the room, and down the stairs. Then he started running to the door until Inuyasha came out of no where and yanked on the collar of his shirt which mad him hit the ground, Akira rolled up into a ball now his whole body hurts and he is late for work, which is not a good thing.
"Where do you think your going?" asked Inuyasha starring at him. Just then Kagome walked in the room and saw Akira laying on the floor in a ball and Inuyasha standing over him.
"SIT!!!!!" Kagome yelled and ran up to Akira. "Are you okay?" she asked in a gentle caring voice.
"No, I'm late for work" he said sitting up rubbing the head ach he had." I have to go he said getting up and starting to walk to the door.
"Wait Akira," Kagome said. Akira turned around now looking at the floor. " I don't think you should go to work, your sick."
" I have to go to work, I cant just call in sick"
"And why not!?" Kagome asked starting to get concerned. Akira didn't say anything and he turned around and stated walking out the door.
"Wait, come back!" Kagome started getting up.
"just let him go Kagome." Inuyasha said behind her "if he wants to go to work that badly, just let him go"
Akira started running down the shrine stairs he was already late, and the later he got their, the more he was going to hurt at the end. He ended up taking a bus downtown, it would be quicker then running, and less tiresome, he eventually go to work he ran into the bar.
"HEY! The boss wants to see you!" said the one of the bartenders yelling over the crowd. Akira nodded his head and started walking towards the boss's office. When he got to the door he took a deep breath the he took a deep breath, and knocked. A man who was quit tall in a suit and glasses opened the door; the lighting in the room was dull. Their was a man sitting in the far end of the room sitting at a desk, this man was about 5'8, slim but muscular had wavy dark brown hair, and eyes his hair was longer for a man but shorter then Akira's.
"Come in" the man at the desk said. "Why are you late Akira?"
"I'm sorry sir, I have a cold and took a nap, unfortunately I slept too long" Akira said bowing in respect, hoping is boss would show mercy.
"Well I can't have you work with a cold; no one wants to get sick. But you were still late and needs to be punished accordingly." The boss said standing up nodding at the body guards at both sides of his desk.
At Kagome's house everybody was asleep considering it was 11:30, they were thinking about going back tomorrow, but Kagome was having second thoughts. She didn't want to leave if Akira was in such a bad state.
Early the next morning Kagome got dressed and went down stairs to get something to eat, Iuyasha, her grandpa, Souta, and her mom were all gathered eating.
"Good morning dear" Kagome's mom said getting up to get Kagome food.
"morning." Kagome sat down; she was tired since she spent half the night worrying about Akira.
"Hey Kagome are we going back today?" asked Inuyasha.
"I don't know, I want to know how Akira is"
"Your friend is weird." Souta said barging in, "he is around my age and I have never seen him at school. Is he home schooled." Kagome stared at him not knowing what to say she hates lying, and it was to early for it, so she didn't answer.
" I think I'm going to go to the park and look for him today, if I know he is okay we can go back." Kagome said to Inuyasha
"Why wouldn't he be okay" asked her grandpa.
"He's sick and it was dark outside and he lives downtown"
"Why was he leaving in such a rush last night?" Kagome's mom asked, after she got done dishing up Kagome's breakfast.
"He was late for work" Kagome picked up her chopsticks and started eating.
"Where does he work?" Souta asked.
"I'm not sure"
When Kagome finished with her breakfast she stared walking off to the park, Inuyasha following closely behind.
"Why are you so worried about him?" Inuyasha asked.
"Didn't I go through this at breakfast?"
"He is in charge of his own life you know, if he wants to mess around with women for a living, that's fine."
"I don't think he has much of a choice"
" huh? What do you mean?" Inuyasha looked at Kagome with a curious face.
"He said something about his parents sold him, and he is forced to do what he does, and he seemed really scared that he was going to be late, so I just want to know that he is ok. They finally reached the park and Akira wasn't their. So Kagome being more worried started heading to the Black Dragons bar that Akira worked at. When the got their, they asked the security guard where Kano (Akira) went. The Security guard told them that last night he was late and the boss, punished him and he ran out, and he didn't see him again.
"what kind of punishment" Kagome asked.
" What kind do you think." He answered
"Where is your boss!?" Kagome yelled now even more worried.
"home sleeping, know if you excuse me my shift has ended."
