Temp And The Wealthy Son Song
By: MusicIsMySoul
Summary: Kagome is a temp; she works five different jobs at least in one week just to get by paying for her apartment and studio time. Inuyasha is the son of a wealthy record label owner. What happened when fate brings them together…
Disclaimer: I do NOT own any Inuyasha characters…sadly yes I have tried…but the dogs and the lazers and the high security vaults but I failed and now I don't own it…-sigh-
Chapter ten: Hangover with a lesson
Kagome trudged into her apartment just after three am. She was so nervous at the studio but every time they said good take she smiled and gave a thumbs up 'what was I thinking I much have looked so stupid' she mentally slapped her head. She had stayed after to watch the makings of her first song take shape, okay it wasn't her song but it was her first time being in a celebrity's song and it was the best feeling she had felt in three weeks. She flopped down on her bed and sighed loudly to no one as she stared up at the leaky ceiling. She was out of debt, getting her name out there as a singer and single the best things in the world were hers…that's what she convinced herself. Her mind drifted to the things Inuyasha had left her three weeks ago that she never dared to open, specially then black velvet box but she had oddly left them on her beside table. The black velvet was soft under her finger tips, if she was going to be truly honest she did miss him but she was still furious with him no matter what her mother would say about forgiveness "why Inuyasha would you do that" and as if on cue a loud banging came to her door "what the…?"
Kagome got up off the bed and looked through the eye pep hold in her door. There stood a tall silver haired Inuyasha holding a large bottle of Jack Daniel's and pounding on the door. Her neighbors started yelling at the drunken Inuyasha and as soon as Kagome herd 'eviction' she opened the door and pulled Inuyasha in as he stumbled and spilled the liquor on his red soft wool fitted sweater that oddly looked good on him "well hey there Kags" he slurred
Kagome turned around after closing the door "what are you doing here Inuyasha?" she said with disgust
He smiled drunkenly and took another swig of the bottle "well" he said as he swallowed "I though that if I sung you a song and played my guitar really romantically you would take me back" he looked down at his feet "but problem is I forgot my guitar" he slurred again
Kagome crossed her arms, he had gone downhill since she last saw him, his hair was greasy cause he hadn't showered in a few days, he had bags under his eyes and worst of all he was drinking "Inuyasha you should be here specially like this" she tired to take the bottle away by he raised it above his head
"Are you going to do that seductive thingy-ma-jig again cause that was fun?" he breathed on her
His breath smelled of every drink you could think of "Please stop" she walked away from him a little to keep from hitting him in the face
"Oh com'on Kagome this is fun" he slurred and fell back on the couch spilling more booze on his clothes
"I'm sick of you" she finally had it all of her feelings that she had stuffed down were coming out "Your just like him Inuyasha, fucking around, yelling when you don't get your way and worst of all drinking…fuck Inuyasha your better than that" she grabbed the bottle from his wet hands "this is what got me shot, this is what ruined my life, this fucking drink fucked me big time Inuyasha it made me not let anyone in not even you for a few days then I let you in and guess what it fucks me again" she slammed the bottle on her counter surprised that it didn't break
"Kagome…I didn't know" he slurred once more just aggravating her
"Yeah you didn't, you didn't get the time to think it through before you went of yelling at me for something you did when you fucked around with that girl" she stood beside the couch as he watched her "do you feel better Inuyasha? Do you feel fucking numb? Cause I sure don't I feel even worse now cause now I'm worried that you could get in serious trouble cause of that" she pointed towards the bottle "I loved…love you Inuyasha I fucking love you but I can't if that's one of your habits" her yelling stopped and tears streamed from her chocolate brown eyes
Inuyasha stood shakily and wrapped his arms around her "I'm sorry Kagome…I'm so sorry"
She cried into his chest, to many bad things happed because of that bottle and now he was in it, he was just like him and since her mother had filled Inuyasha in about Naraku he felt even worse about what he had done knowing it would hurt her. Kagome's crying subsided in a few minuets and she backed away from him refusing to let him back in her heart after what he had done. Inuyasha had basically few asleep standing up against her and fell forwards once she backed up, she caught him with much effort and dragged him to her room, stripped off his liquor covered shirt and laid him in her bed, she wasn't heartless she would help him if he needed it. Then she pulled the covers over him and left the room letting the thin blue/green cloth door sway in the wind that breezed though her open window. She grabbed a few blankets from her closet and a pillow from her bed that he wasn't using and tossed it on the couch before walking over to the Jack Daniel's bottle on the counter grabbing it and pouring the vile poison down the sink, ending her night she walked back to the couch and fell asleep with much, much more effort, god she hated New York…
The morning came to quickly for Inuyasha as the sun drifted through the window and pounding on his already throbbing head "god damnit" he whispered to himself.
All to suddenly he realized he wasn't at home but he was comfortable on the hard bed and flat pillow. He sniffed the air it was the distinct smell of morning rain and roses…he was at Kagome's. His hung over brain had just also processed he was half naked and his sweater was hung over the couch he could see through the cloth door. He slowly rose from the bed holding his head as if it would fall off. He drug his feet over the to the cough picking up his shirt and smelling it, morning rain and roses. Then he spotted the empty Jack Daniel's bottle and it all came back to him, the town car taking him to her apartment after he drank all the booze in his little fridge, the pounding on her door, the yelling, then her crying. It came in bits and pieces but it still came. That's why he was shirtless Kagome had washed the booze out of the wool "Kagome…" he whispered
Just then the dark haired woman walked out of the washroom drying of her ebony locks with a yellow towel, wearing a pair of black jogging pants with two white stripes down the sides and a dark blue tank top. Her hair draped around her shoulders in small waves after she tossed the towel into a hamper outside of the washroom "morning" she half smiled "and how are we feeling today?" she walked over to the kitchen opening up the cabinet and pulling out a coffee cup and pouring the dark coffee from the jug into the large cup and reaching for another cabinet
"Like a bus just hit me" he chuckled half heartedly "Listen I'm really sorry about last night…I wasn't thinking" he leaned on the counted
"We all make mistakes Inuyasha, here take his" she handed him two pills and a large cup of coffee and one of water "I thought a lot about it and I forgive you"
Inuyasha looked at Kagome with wide eyes "what…after all that I did to you?"
Kagome nodded slowly "yeah but this doesn't mean I trust you just that we are starting over, clean slate" she sighed "do you remember everything from last night?"
Inuyasha rubbed his forehead after he took the pilled with a long gulp of water "no not all of it I remember taking a town car here singing Spice Girls songs, pounding on your door, you yelling at me which I deserved, then something about getting shot and then falling asleep standing up" he rested his head in his hands trying his hardest not to throw up
Kagome tensed about the getting shot…she hadn't told him about that "okay, well I have to go to work I'm an hour" she checked her watch "It's only six, but your welcome to stay here for a while, this still doesn't mean I trust you its just that there's nothing worth while to steal" she smiled a little
"Well I do like your Yoga mat" he joked before felling the remains of last night working its way up his throat then forcing it back down
Kagome smiled again and grabbed her keys and her jacket "well I'm taking that with me today" she snatched up the blue mat "I gatta do lessons today, and I have a few other things to do I'll be back around…maybe two"
"In the afternoon?" he asked keeping his head in his hands
Kagome shook her head and grabbed a few other things and shoved them into her backpack "In the morning silly"
Inuyasha looked up at her with wide eyes "wait you work till two am?"
"Almost every night" she said with pride
"You work to damn much wench" he didn't feel like being nice anymore his head felt like it could explode and again he had to force down the remains of last night
Kagome smiled, he was back to his self, or the one when she met him "I know but I gatta go see yah Inuyasha, don't steal anything" she placed down a small plastic bottle of painkillers on the counter beside his arm "take two every four hours kay?"
She saw him nod his hands covering his face, he was really, really hung over, that'll teach him. Kagome sighed and walked down to the bus stop, it was going to be a long day especially after yoga when she had to deal with Sango asking her about her vacation, she knew she should have been a rodeo clown like her brother said. Inuyasha couldn't hold it down anymore and before he could even think of finishing his coffee he had been in the washroom tossing his cookies –more like spilling his drink- he held his hair back so he didn't get anything on it he didn't know why he was going to take a shower anyways. After his making friends with the toilet he turned on the shower water keeping the water cold, well cold was the only temperature that the shower knew since the hot water heater in the basement of the building was busted and no one cared that it was. He undressed and stepped into the cold water, did Kagome go throw this every morning? The cold droplets reminded him of how bed he felt but he hated the smell of alcohol on him what was he thinking last night? He rubbed his face with his numb hand and washed his hair with some of Kagome's stuff then stepped out of the shower after turning it off. Refreshed, that's what he felt oddly the cold water chilled his skin and that's what he felt refreshed. He pulled back on his jeans and used the same towel Kagome used to dry her hair to dry his. He brushed his bangs out of his face and went back to his cup of coffee and sipped the now lukewarm liquid. The velvet box he had wanted to give Kagome was sitting on the side table beside her bed from what he could see through the cloth doorway and he slowly walked over to it and picked the box up, it hadn't been opened from what he could tell. "Why was I so stupid" he sighed and opened the box.
Inside a necklace laid softly on the black velvet that was inside the box, a small pink pearl attached to a silver chain that would fit Kagome perfectly. A small smiled played on his lips as he placed the box on the side table. She had even opened the letter he had given her either, was she that mad at him, okay yeah he did yell at her, had an old girlfriend ruin their relationship then come to her apartment drunk he would be mad to he would have probably beaten the shit out of himself if he was Kagome. Suddenly the bed became a welcoming place to him as he laid back down under the covers his hang over was way worse that he had imagined it to be so a few more hours of sleep wouldn't hurt…
"So you are going out with Inuyasha Takahashi!" Sango squealed
Kagome sighed, this had been going on for hours, Sango bothering her about Inuyasha and every time she would change the subject so something else like the patients or Miroku "Sango we aren't going out"
Sango sighed "Oh…well umm what happened on your vacation" she asked typing on her computer
"Nothing really I went back home to visit my family and that's about it, it was really nice to see my mom again" she smiled lightly, there was no way she was going for the whole story
Sango reclined back into her seat "wow boring"
"Yeah" Kagome checked a chart for one of the patients "what about you a Miroku?"
"What about us?" she asked
"Oh now its 'us' is it" she giggled before spotting not only Miroku, but Miroku with a big handful of dark roses that he had probably spent at least twenty-four ninety-five on "Umm Sango"
Sango's gaze crept on the tall dark haired man, her eye slightly twitched "Oh…my…god" she tried to hide the light frustration mixed with embarrassment "what is he doing here"
Kagome pushed her friend out of her seat and towards Miroku and the large roses then left the couple, she couldn't deal with that right yet so she decided to take some food to her favorite little boy who was a long time patient at the CCU. The tray had a few things on it but she made sure that it had an egg salad sandwich and a lime jell-o cut up in those small squares you would see in the commercials. Room E162, the room where she would escape to from the world and into Shippo's world. "Hey little guy" she said singsong like when she entered the room.
Shippo was one of the patients, ten years old and was the bravest little orange haired kids she had ever met, she only wished he was that brave. "Kagome" he smiled and jumped into her arms after she set the tray down "where have you been!?"
"I was kinda working, it's a thing us grown ups do" she smiled and sat down beside him on the bed "and how is my little guy?"
"Good my dad came and saw me the other day but he had to leave early since he had to work another shift" he looked at his pale hands "but that's okay he's coming back later tonight"
A smiled formed on her face CCU stood for Children's Cancer Unit. Shippo had leukemia and had been in the hospital for more than a year and since they weren't the most fortunate family Shippo's fathers had to work non-stop to pay for the bills and make sure his only son would get through his sickness. "Well I brought you some food" she placed the tray on the bed between them "I just came up to say Hi I have to get back to the phone's or they'll think something bad is going on, I'll take you outside later kay?"
Shippo nodded with a mouthful of egg salad sandwich. Kagome got up and made her way back to her desk and the phones rang right when she sat down "New York CCU Kagome Higurashi speaking"
"Kagome its Paul" the voice said
"Oh hey" she responded, Paul was her boss
"I just got a new girl in for the reception, Stacey talked to me, take a few days off" Paul spoke again
Damn herself for telling Stacey all about her vacation and what had happened but she needed to talk to someone and Stacey was like her sister, next to Sango but she wouldn't have understood her answer would have been around 'why didn't you kick his ass' or 'I would have just beat him down' but she couldn't blame her, every time Miroku groped someone else she would slap him just like in three, two, one
SLAP!!!
A fuming Sango reached her desk red with anger "GOD I HATE HIM!" she yelled as she shoved the roses in the trash can beside the desk
"Okay" Kagome packed up her things and smiled "Paul gave me a few days off cause of some family stuff but I'll be back to visit Shippo and see how you and Miroku are doing"
"I'm finished with him" was her response, with wasn't true she would go back to him in a few days
Kagome nodded and slung her backpack over her shoulder, she didn't have to be at her next job for another…four hours, so she could go home and get a bite to eat maybe see if she could get some rest, little did she know Inuyasha was still at her apartment…god I love NEW YORK!!!
