Hanyous Anonymous
Chapter 21: More Fluff
Kagome hurried in the front door that afternoon, only to find the house empty. She became frantic, searching around and calling out Rin's name. Satsuki was gone too, she noticed. When Sango walked in the door, still in her cashier's uniform- consisting of a green vest over a yellow t-shirt and a silver name tag that had her last name on it- Kagome glomped her friend in a hyperventilating mass. "SANGO-CHAN! I CAN'T FIND THE GIRLS!" She screamed. Sango shook her head to clear her ringing ears and pushed the girl off. Kagome was so freaked that she had thrown off her belt and her hanyouness form was all over the place. Her ears were twitching to everything, as was her nose and tail. Her hair was frazzled and even the fur of her tail was puffed up. Claws were extended completely, and hands spread apart and through ready to kill someone. Sango tried not to laugh. "Ah, Kagome-chan, what day is it?" she asked. Kagome's brows furrowed. "Monday, why? What did that have to do with anything, Sango?" she asked. Sango raised an eyebrow, remaining silent as she pointed to the calendar. Kagome glanced at it and nearly slapped herself in the face. On today's date read "Rin and Sat work school daycare 'till 4:30" it was only 3 o'clock now. Kagome plopped on the couch, breathing deep, calming breaths and stuffed her face in her hands. "Kami, I fail. Thanks Sango-chan, I was ready to call the police." She sighed.
Sango just shrugged, patted her friend's shoulder and went into the kitchen to finish off her bento lunch. An hour and a half later, a giggling Rin and Satsuki walked in through the front door, and into the living room. At the sight of her sister and their youngest companion, Kagome's whole frame perked up and she hugged them both tightly. "Hey you two! You guys almost gave me a heart attack!" she greeted. Rin and Sat shared confused glance around the hanyouness's shoulders and sheepishly hugged her back. Kagome pulled back with a wide smile on her face. "How was school/work?" she asked again. Rin and the younger shrugged. "Eh, fine. Sat handled a few of the older boys while I was busy tutoring the little little ones. We also talked a bit. Why? What's got you so riled up, Kagome?" Rin asked. Kagome waved her hand. "Nothing, nothing. I just forgot you two had work until 4, so when I came home only to be all alone I freaked out." She answered. Satsuki rolled her eyes while Rin laughed and reached up to tweak her nee-san's ears. "Kagome, Kagome. Only you, right?" she asked with a giggle. Kagome blushed while Sango announced her existence from the dining room.
Later that day, the four girls came back from a night out at Kagome's restaurant, Sesshomaru recognized her of course, and gave a little nod of greeting. Kagome waved back as the girls ate. While the group camped on the living room floor- playing Scrabble- Kagome had an idea. "Hey girls, how'd you like to come to my job Wednesday and watch me work/perform? I think you'd like it. Besides, I could ask Takahashi-san to let me bring guests on the podium to sing with me." She proposed as she spelled "confusion" on the board and gaining a 5 point lead over Rin, who was leading before. Satsuki agreed, as did Sango. Rin pursed her lips as she thought of a way to regain her lead. "Rin-chan? Wanna come to my job?" Kagome repeated. Rin smiled and nodded. "Sure, I'd love to see your place! Oh and by the way, I take my lead back!" she replied, taking a ten point lead over her sister by spelling "courageous" on the board. Kagome cheered and then whined at her loss and the girls all giggled. Rin was a master at words. Scrabble would forever be her winning game. A few rounds later, Rin won and the girls all prepared for bed. Clothes went in the wash, dishes were washed, pj's were pulled on and then all sets of eyes closed.
Wednesday finally came after a busy Tuesday and Kagome was busy pulling on her uniform while Rin curled her sister's hair. Sango leaned by the doorway, amazed at the easy teamwork Kagome and Rin possessed, they flowed together like water over sand all the time. Rarely had Sango seen Rin or Kagome get into a conflict with one another that was actually serious. Even then, it blew off quickly. Done, Kagome waved her tail and brushed her bangs to the corner of her eyes. They all packed into the red and gold buggy Kagome had bought a month ago and drove to Atsui Sushi Diner. Kagome checked in, seated her friends and winked. "You girls will love this! Sit tight, another waiter or waitress will see to you, ok?" she instructed. Then, with a ruffle of Satsuki's hair, a kiss on Rin's and a hug to Sango, Kagome set to work.
