"WENCH! Get over here NOW!" Inuyasha yelled for me. I knew it was me, how did I know? Because
at the whole bar, I'm the only one he calls wench.
My name is Kagome, I have been working as a bartender at the hottest bar in Japan for almost
a year now. I came to Japan to get my college degree as a medical technician. And to pay for the
classes I took a job as a bar tender.
I went over to Inuyasha and rolled my eyes as he complained about how slow my work has been
lately. I hate working with him, he's the other bartender, and he drives me insane. I could really
care less that he is cute, what with his golden eyes and silver hair that hangs down to his lower back.
I could also care less that he hates me, just because I look like the woman who hurt him very badly.
As Inuyasha droned on and on about how slow I've been I took care of some orders and then
leaned against the bar. I just leaned there, waiting for him to quit complaining when all of a
sudden Miroku came over, along with Sango. They were two of the regulars here, and also two of my
closest friends. They were the only ones who were able to save me from Inuyasha's wrath. He was
always making comments or trying to make me feel inferior to him, it didn't work too well.
I started talking to Sango as Inuyasha finally finished his complaining. I learned the best
way to work with Inuyasha was to ignore him. I could really care less what he thought of me as a
worker, but as a person, that drove me nuts. Inuyasha and I were in the same martial arts class
as well. He drove me nuts in there too, so our sensai, Kaede, has us as partners for whatever
we do in there, it is easy that way, although I have so many bruises from this afternoon's class that
I could really use a tylonel.
Anyways, as I was talking to Sango, Inuyasha grabbed my arm and jerked me around. I swung my
other arm around and slammed it into his shoulder, so he would let me go, which he did. We went
through this each night, he would complain, I would ignore him, he would grab me, and I would hit him.
You would think we would be able to get along, our year as workers together was almost complete,
and the sooner I got my degree, which would be in two more monthes, the sooner I would be able to
quit my job here and start working at the hospital.
All I ever did to keep me from killing him, or him killing me was remind us that it was only
two more monthes until I graduated. Well as I turned and filled some more orders out I felt something
on the back of my neck, I reached back and grabbed Inuyasha's hand from my hair and then brought
my leg up and slammed it into his crotch, he let go of my neck.
Sango was laughing at this and Miroku looked as though I had kicked him. I smiled and finished
my orders, and looked at the clock, closing time. Inuyasha and I filed everyone out of the bar and
then cleaned up the place. As I went into the bathroom to change out of my red and white preistess
uniform and into a pair of jeans and a tank top, I pushed my hair out of my face. I prayed that
when I left that Inuyasha would either be too busy to nag at me or gone already.
I went out of the bathroom and put my uniform away in the back room where we kept the lockers
of the employees. I went out the door and went out to get my car, when I noticed it was stolen.
It didn't surprise me. My car had been stolen three times in the past month, and every time I got
it back the radio was missing. I started to walk down the road when I felt a hand on my wrist.
I whipped around and started a spin kick when the person who had ahold of my wrist let go of
it and grabbed my foot. I was looking into the face of Inuyasha. He let go of my leg and I stood
up right again.
"What do you want Inuyasha, I'm walking home." I said, glaring at him.
"Only to tell you that when you come to the bar tomorrow you'll be working by yourself, I have
a night class tomorrow night. Meaning don't screw up." he said as though that's all I did.
"Oh don't worry, I won't. The bar will be perfectly fine without you there. And since when
do you take night classes?" I asked.
"Since I started going to college for a degree in archeology. And that means I will be gone on
an excavation soon, and the head of the department will be looking for a medical technition, meaning,
don't work too hard in the next two weeks. I don't want to work with you on assignment." he said.
I rolled my eyes and continued walking home. I stopped when someone who looked alot like Inuyasha
pulled his car over and said get into his car. I ignored him and continued walking. As I walked
I was being followed by the car. I went into the street to cross it and the guy in the car ripped
around the cornor and tried to run me over. I jumped up and onto the hood of his car as he slammed
onto the brakes causing me to go through his windsheild and out his back window.
As I rolled down the road he started to back up. I wasn't able to move out of the way in time.
But just as the car was a foot away someone grabbed me and jumped out of the way of the car. I
opened an eye and saw Inuyasha running to his car with me in his arms. I didn't know what to do,
I couldn't do anything but cling to him as he ran. He threw me into his car and jumped in himself.
He peeled out of the parking lot and headed to the hospital where I was stitched up and told by
Inuyasha who the guy that tried to run me over was.
I just stared at Inuyasha after the doctor's wheeled me out to his car. He had just told me
that he had a hanyuo for a brother, a full one, while he himself was a half hanyuo. I knew he
was half demon, but I didn't know he had a full demon brother. He told me that Sesshamuro, his borther,
probably figured I was Kikyo, the resemblance between the two of us was uncanny.
I climbed into Inuyasha's car carefully and sat there silently as he drove me home. I didn't
know what to do, I was almost killed by the demon brother of the one I hated most in the world.
And the one I hated saved me. Why I didn't know. I just knew that I was grateful for him being there.
After Inuyasha pulled up in front of my apartment I walked with him to the door, he didn't
think I would be able to make it, I am after all, human. I stopped as I saw a notice on the door
of my apartment, it was to inform me, that my things had been moved into the storage facility, I was
being evicted out of my apartment. I took a deep breath trying to calm myself, I had no where to go.
The landlady had changed the locks on my door so my key wouldn't work. As I stood there staring at
the notice Inuyasha put his hand on my shoulder.
I shrugged his hand off and walked down to a bench where I sat down and groaned. I had
nowhere in Japan to go, Miroku was living with his grandfather, who thought everyone that hung
around Miroku was perverted, and I couldn't stay with Sango, she had her little brother living with her.
And there was no way I would be able to stay with Inuyasha, we hated eachother, although he did just
save me. I didn't know what to do. I put my head in my hands and ran my fingers through my hair,
racking my brain to figure out where I would go.
Inuyasha came over and pulled me to my feet, he pulled me to his car and we drove down the
road to his apartment building. I looked at him in surprise, he was practically offering me a
place to stay for the night. Then he told me to stay put, he would be right back. I did. When
he came back out he got in the car and drove me to a hotel where I would stay for the night. I
thanked him and went into the hotel and to my room, where someone had put clean clothes for the next
day on the bed, and the clothes were in my size. I looked around the room and then pulled off my
jeans, socks, and shoes and climbed into the bed where I started to fall asleep when there was a
knock on the door. I pulled my jeans back on and went to the door looking through the peep hole
to see who it was, it was Inuyasha.
I opened the door and asked him what the hell he wanted. He handed me a card that had the
number of another apartment building. I thanked him again and closed the door. I stripped out
of my jeans again and climbed back into bed. I fell asleep almost as soon as my head touched the
pillow.
When I awoke the next morning my body ached, and was stiff from sleeping. I got up and
washed my hair quickly putting on the change of clothes. As I went outside of the room and down
to the lobby I saw people staring at me, as though wondering why I was limping. I hurried outside and
called for a cab to take me to the college for my classes. When my classes were over I went to
the karate building to tell sensai Kaede that I wouldn't be able to do class today, but who I found
in front of the class was Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, where is sensai Kaede?" I asked him after bowing and removing my shoes and socks.
"First of all, I'm the sensai now. Second of all, go home. Sleep, you still have to work
tonight. Unless you call and get Shippo to take your place." he said and gently pushed me to the
door.
I grabbed my shoes and socks putting them on my feet and sat down, holding my cheek where one
of the stitches came undone. I held the spot and felt some of the stitches in my arms come undone, I
groaned in pain and one of the students looked over at me. They told Inuyasha I was bleeding and
he came over to me, asking if I was ok.
"Yes, yes...no...ow...I'll get a cab to the hospital, then I'm going back to the hotel to
go to bed. Good bye Inuyasha," I said as I carefully stood up and walked to the door.
I was just about to the door when Inuyasha grabbed my wrists. I turned to look at him and then
pulled away and walked out the door quickly, I started running as quick as my body would let me. I ran
into the street and saw the car from the night before rip around the cornor and speed up. I jumped onto
the hood and again was slammed through the windsheild. But instead of going through the back window
I slammed into the back seat, hitting my head on something which knocked me unconcious.
I woke up a while later, tied to a chair, my stitches coming undone as I moved. I groaned
and Sesshamuro came into the room. I glared at him and tried again to get free of the ropes binding
me. I cringed in pain as more of my stitches came undone.
"Ah, Kikyo, your awake. And a little bloody. Let me help you," Sesshamuro said as he came
over and put his clawed finger on one of my stitches that hadn't come undone yet. I winced as
he slid the claw across the stitches and continued the cut down my cheek to my mouth.
"I'm not Kikyo, I'm Kagome..." I muttered.
"No your not, don't lie to me." he said and looked up as someone came crashing through the
window behind me. "Ah, Inuyasha, its you. Here to save your fiance, Kikyo?"
"No, I'm here to save the wench Kagome. Now hand her over, before I kill you." Inuyasha spat
at Sesshamuro.
I moaned and kicked my legs out from the chair and kicked at Sesshamuro. He kicked my chair over
causing my head to slam back on the ground. I heard them fighting, and heard hisses of pain. I couldn't
see anything but felt hands pick me up after ripping me from the chair. I clung to the person
running with me, I could tell it was Inuyasha, from the feel of bare skin on my face from his karate
uniform.
Inuyasha's breathing was ragged and I felt a spot of blood on his back. I rested my head on
his shoulder as he ran. He got me to a hospital where they stitched me up and checked on his back.
They gave me some eye drops to take care of the vision problems I was having. I looked over at Inuyasha
as I could see again and saw him removing his shirt. My eyes searched out his bare chest and I
couldn't help but mentally kick myself from thinking of him pressed against me again.
The doctors asked me to remove the shirt I had over my undershirt, so they could take care of
some cuts there. As I did so I felt Inuyasha's eyes watching, devouring the way I removed the shirt.
at the whole bar, I'm the only one he calls wench.
