Chapter 4: "Job"

A little of the last chapter (in case you forgot xD) They all say bye and get back to work, I checked out and left with Shippo and a smile on my face. Thanking kami that I could get out.

So it is a couple day later after the hospital thing.

Also I would like to point out that a few of the lines by or May not make you crack up laughing xD they are soo Miroku xD also I would like to apologize for the late update.-. I was at a standstill I am trying to figure out how I am going to get this story to continue I mean I love how it is going but I am having trouble thinking on how I am going to corporate other characters .-.

So normal day I leave my house to meet up with my…umm…unusual homeless friends, I had to tell Shippo who I really was, that I wasn't homeless, I was part of a family that is rich. I didn't want to lie to him. No I wanted him to know that if he needed me I can always help, including if he gets in trouble. he was of course shocked and speechless, I told him that I hate that I am so rich I rather help people then be buried in money, Shippo then asked who I really was, I gave a soft sigh and said "my name is Kagome Higurashi" Shippo eyes went wide and says "THE Higurashi!?" I nod looking down, and I say "I honestly rather be homeless then be a part of the Higurashi family…" after a few moments of silence I asked him if he would keep it a secret and he said he would, I couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, then I said "how about I get some adoption papers and adopt you as my son?"

Really?! Shippo says happily I smile and picks him up spinning him around and says "of course! Why wouldn't I?" so we went and I legally adopted Shippo as my son, his full name is now "Shippo Kuro/ Higurashi" I knew I would have to explain so I did and I said that I would rather not go public, they are kind hearted people and they said that "even if a gun was pointed at me, I would rather die than tell" I couldn't help but to smile,

I said "thank you & I would like to donate some money to help" they said they couldn't accept it I snort and say "it is a donation and it is the least I can do" after much convincing I finally was able to donate $100,000 I saw tears of joy, most of the employee's didn't get a check & some were on a thin line from having to live on the street, I smiled happily and said "if there is anything, anything at all please let me know" she nods and says "Thank you" we left to go meet up with Sango and Miroku

-Normal POV… (I think)-

As usual Sango and Miroku were at each other throats, well….more like Sango was suffocating Miroku because he touched her butt again Sapphire says "come on guys' break it up" Shippo pipes up and says "yeah!" and looks at Miroku who was recovered and was now rehearsing pickup lines and says "I hope you found some new Material"

Miroku grins "Girls, I'm now known as the "professor of love" and school is in session" he says while chuckling and still grinning like a moron, A really rich looking girl walks by and scoffs at the comment, Shippo, Sango and Sapphire look at Miroku and start laughing, Sango looks at Sapphire and says "I hope it's not contagious" Sapphire nods in agreement and says "that would be a catastrophe if it was" they both start cracking up laughing. Miroku frowns and then says while placing his hand over his heart "I can't help that I am a raging epidemic of romance"

it seemed luck wasn't with him when it came to "romance" because another rich looking girl walked by and let out a "huff and a yeah right you wish" the girls stared at him it was silence for about 2 seconds before Sango and Sapphire fell to the ground laughing so hard, tears started falling, after the laughing fit Sapphire looks at them and says sarcastically "Come on hot stuff, let's get going we got stuff we have to do"

Miroku looks at Sapphire and says "That hurts, it breaks my heart" Sango raises a brow and says half-hearty "if words broke your heart…shouldn't you be dead by now?" Miroku frowns and Sapphire laughs, and says "ok ok, enough let's get started" they both nod and run off but before getting out of ear shot yelling meet you later at the mope (secret place they meet up)

Sapphire looks at Shippo and says "now as your mom, I ask you to be careful" Shippo grins and says "no worries momma I'll be careful" alright Sapphire says and continues "a quick hug?" they embrace for a few minutes before Shippo runs off into the crowd. As much I was worried I knew he would be okay.

-Sapphires Pov- (aka Kagome)

I head off toward a little shop called "Kuna" were this sweet old women named Kaede works/ owns this shop contains herbal herbs and other stuff, she was like a mother I always wanted, she wasn't rich or anything but still she always tried to help us as much as she could and I was grateful,

She knew of my secret, I had come into her shop looking for an enchantment charm, she asked why I wanted the charm and I told her I wanted to get away from all the "rich and glory" and be a normal teenage with normal things happen, she seemed to understand and ever since then we have been really close. I always went there to get my plastic cup and my signs I had made out of card board

I smile at the memory, I wasn't paying attention, and I ended up bumping into someone I fell hard to the ground and let out a loud "ow" and I quickly say "oh my god I am- "I look up to apologize and who I see makes my eyes go wide with shock and the apologize stop on my tongue, there standing in front of me was the most gorgeous guy I have ever seen, he frowns most likely because of I had bumped into him and well most likely my appearance as well, but I really don't care, none the less he hold out his hand and I take it hesitantly he helps me up and I get a good look at him

He had the most stunning blue eyes and long black hair that was braided, he was wearing a T-shirt and jeans with skater shoes, I look down in embarrassment and I stammer "I-I am sorry, I-I wasn't paying attention, I bow respectfully before I make a mad dash away, It's not like I felt I was threatened or anything but I had a job to do and I needed to get started, However I had completely missed him turning around and following me with his eyes with a smirk in place.

I ran to Kuna making sure I didn't bump or run into anyone else, I made it to Kuna Running straight into the shop huffing and puffing, Kaede blinks once then twice before saying "what have ye been doing? To be huffing like that" I jump and let out a "eep" I wasn't expecting her to be sitting there, I turn around moving toward her, I was still out of breath so it sounded like I was talking really slow. "I…-huff- was…-huff- walking…-huff-and…-huff- I…-huff-..Ran…-huff- into…-huff- a guy…-huff-I…-huff-apologized...-huff-and…-huff-ran…-huff-here" I finish talking with a wheeze and a cough, Kaede nods and says "ye need some tea, I will be right back with ye tea, make ye self-conformable"

With that she walks into the back room to make some tea, I couldn't help but be thankful but I decided that I wasn't going to talk, afraid that if I do I will sound like I am talking all show again, and wheezing and coughing all over again not something I wanted. I thought I was safe in this shop well it seemed I was mistakenly wrong in oh so many ways, I look out the window and who do I see? My eyes go wide and I whisper

"how in the hell?...he was looking around and I quickly duck behind the counter to hide when he looked in the window, however that is when Kaede comes back with the tea, looking at me questionably I whisper harshly

"shh…I think I have a stalker, he's outside the window" none the less Kaede hands me some tea, and says "ye be careful it is hot" I blow on it and take a sip, and right after that he walks in, picking up her phone and saying "hello, yes, what are ye wanting to purchase" I look through the little window staring at him and thinking "omg omg omg omg omg what the hell? Is he stalking me or something?!" just then he looks at her questionably and she looks at him for a second before, pointing to the phone

He gave a small "ah" sound and then stood there looking around, I decided that sitting in the position I was in was killing my legs so I sat down drinking the tea, trying to not think of the "stalker" in my adoptive moms shop, after a few moments Kaede puts down her phone and looks at him and says "how may ye help? He blinks and says while rubbing the back of his neck

"Um…yea, I was wondering if you happen to see a young girl with blonde hair come in here or pass by, by chance?" My eyes went wide at his voice it was…I couldn't even describe it! But what he said made me blush bright red, I look up and I watched as Kaede give thoughtful look and says "hm…ye has seen a lot of young girls with blonde hair past by so ye cannot be sure which ye are referring to"

He seemed to notice that he should have been more…specific, on his description. There are a lot of girls with blonde hair, "oh right, uh let's see, she has blonde hair of course but she was wearing baggy pants and a baggy shirt, I think she might be homeless or just doesn't care about how she looks I am not sure"

I frown, and think "what nerve…that jerk!" I tug on her kimono, and she seemed to get what I was saying and says "where did ye last see this young maiden?" hmm he says then continues and says "I saw her head in this direction" I watch as Kaede nods and says "well if ye had to guess, she must of went that way" she says pointing in a random direction

Oh okay, he says and with that he walks out, following the old women's advice, once he was out I stood up and gave an angry yell and I say yelling "great…just great now I can't do my job because of some crazy guy following me!" I say huffing and puffing giving a sigh I look at Kaede, and say "I gotta go, and thanks for not telling him" I ran to the back and grab my stuff and leave in a rush to get to the spot I was supposed to be.

I ran all the way there and started setting up, I stood there with my cup and watched as rich people and say "spare change?" Most just ignored me, some spared me a glance and put a couple dollars or some coins, I did this for quite a few hours until it started getting dark, not bothering to count it I stuff it all in my pocket, grabbing all my stuff I dash away toward "Kuna" I walk in and walk straight to the back and then heading straight to the "mope"

Finally done. - I am soo sorry everyone! It took me forever.
