Chapter 2

Meetings

~*~*~*

Sango stayed up to about 4 in the morning. Why should she sleep? Why should she do anything? No one liked her. Kagome was probably only pretending to be her friend. Just like Koga pretended to like her. Was she worth anything? No, she needed to stop beating herself up. Kagome had tried to comfort her countless times. She shouldn't think like that. There has to be someone out there who will love her for real.

"Meow"

"Yeah you are right Kirara. I should get some sleep."

"Mew"

"Yes I know. I need to stop thinking about Koga too. He wasn't worthy of me!" she laughed. She decided to be a good friend and call her friend Noko who was a mechanic to come fix Kagome's car. She couldn't do that now, so she went to sleep and did it in the morning.

~*~*~*

Kagome woke up on time this morning. Wow, she thought, At least today won't be as bad as yesterday. She didn't have to go to work as early as yesterday so she got to sleep in anyway.

She went out to her car and started it. She didn't remember that it wasn't working until she passed Sango's house. Why was her car working now? Then Kagome found the little note that said, "Thank you for being a friend. Now it's my turn. ~Sango"

Kagome kept in mind that she would have to thank Sango later. At least she wasn't locked in her house crying.

Kagome got to work and was surprised to find Miroku sitting at one of the tables she had to serve.

"Hey Miroku. What are you doing here?" she asked before taking his order.

"I'm hungry. Can't a man eat?" he answered. "You know there is something else. What do you want to ask me?"

"How is Sango?" Kagome sweat dropped and answered that she was getting better.

"Do you think it's a good idea for me to go visit her and give her my poem?"

"Yeah that is a great idea! So what do you want to eat?"

Miroku ordered a double burger with no onions and extra tomatoes. That reminded Kagome of the strange e-mail that she had gotten. She started thinking about it and didn't pay attention to what she was doing. When she went to bring Miroku his burger, she still wasn't focused on what she was supposed to be doing. All she was thinking about was that strange e-mail. Just then she tripped, dropped what she was carrying, and expected herself to fall with much embarrassment on the floor of the restaurant.

She braced herself for the fall, and was surprised when instead of falling on to the hard floor, she fell into the arms of a boy about her age.

"You should watch where you are going! If I hadn't of caught you, you would have fallen flat on your face and hurt yourself pretty bad," said the boy.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't paying attention. Please forgive me sir," said Kagome. Neither of them noticed that the boy's arms were still wrapped around Kagome holding her up.

"Hey! You! Yeah, kid, you! Get your hands off of my woman!" said the same drunk man from the day before. Kagome and the boy were 10 feet away from each other in less than a second.

"I am not your woman!" yelled Kagome. The man walked toward her and grabbed her around the waist.

"Of course you are! Now come with me."

"Get your filthy hands off of her!" yelled the boy.

"Stay away from my woman!" yelled the drunken man.

"Get your hands off of me!" screamed Kagome.

The boy punched the man in the face, set Kagome aside, lifted the man up, threw him out the door, and yelled to him to never come back.

"Th Thank you," said Kagome. Now that she had a good look at him, she noticed that he was pretty cute. He was about her age, and had long silver hair. Silver hair? It was cute anyway. His eyes were almost gold colored and he was wearing a hat.

"No big. Drunks like that need to be gotten rid of."

"Are you ok Kagome?" asked Miroku.

"Yeah I am fine."

"Is she your woman?" the boy asked Miroku.

"No no of course not. Who are you?" said Miroku.

"Miroku, this is uh."

"Inuyasha."

"Oh ok. This is Inuyasha. He saved me."

"Alright. ::gasp:: You dropped my burger! Oh well. I'll just leave. See you later!" said Miroku.

"Well, Inuyasha thank you for saving me. I'm Kagome."

"KAGOME HIGURASHI! YOU ARE FIRED! I TOLD YOU NOT TO MAKE ANY MORE SCENES!"

"Excuse me sir, but it wasn't her fault," said Inuyasha.

"I don't care. You are fired Kagome. Goodbye," said Mr. Kuramoto.

Kagome's heart sank. The e-mail said something good would happen. Now she has no job because she was thinking about that stupid e-mail and wasn't paying attention. None of this would have happened if it weren't for that email.

"That is not a very nice man. Come on Kagome. I am going to take you home," said Inuyasha.

Kagome was in shock and she wasn't able to drive. She could only tell Inuyasha where she lived and let him drive her home.

"Here you are. I'll leave you now. Good luck finding a new job."

"Thank you, but how are you going to get home?" asked Kagome.

"I'll manage," was his answer.

She didn't want him to go. He seemed so familiar to her. Little did she know, he didn't want to leave. He was feeling the same thing. "I hope we meet again," Kagome said before she went inside.

He replied with "Don't worry, we will."

~*~*~*

Sango pulled her hair back in a bandana and started to clean the house. It was a very big mess. She had been so upset for the last couple days that she didn't clean up after herself. In the middle of her cleaning, her doorbell rang.

"Who could that be?" she wondered.

"She got to the door and found a bouquet of roses with a letter attached to it. In the letter was a poem.

"That is so cute!" It was signed with Love From Your Secret Admirer.

She had no clue that her secret admirer was hiding in the bushes by her front door because he had chickened out right before she had answered the door. When she had went inside, Miroku came out of the bushes and headed home.

He sighed and cursed himself for not being brave enough. He stopped by Kagome's house and found out that she had been fired. He tried to comfort her and didn't tell her about Sango because he didn't want to worry her with his problems when she had problems of her own.

~*~*~*

Well.. That's the end of this chappy! Tell me if you liked it. I hope Inuyasha didn't seem too out of character. I will try to improve on that in the chapters to come. Ja ne!
