A/N: Okay, I usually put my thoughts at the end of the chapter, but I just wanted to warn you before hand that this is going to be really plot convenienced and highly improbable. But hey! This is an AU right!?
"Well, are two just going to stare at the poor girl all day or are you going to walk down there and introduce yourselves!?" Sango yelled, seeing Kagome shift nearvously under InuYasha and Miroku's critical gaze.
"Yo, InuYasha!" Miroku waved his hand in front of the transfixed boy's face, "let's go say hello."
"Wait!" InuYasha grabbed Miroku by the collar of his shirt and pulled him next to him, "Doesn't she look just like Kikyou?"
"Huh, Hmm..." Miroku leaned a little further over the railing and then stood back up straight, "It's incredable! They could be twins!"
"That's it! Lets go, right now!" Sango grabbed both the gawking boy's collars and dragged them down the stairs, "you are going to be civilized for once in your lives and say hello properly."
"Oh, Sango you're back!" Kagome said, as Sango walked toward her smiling with two boys trailing behind her, "who are they?"
"Kagome, these are the bars two best bouncers," Sango said, unconsiously grabbing the two bouncers and pushing them in front of her, "Go on boys, say hello.
"Sango, we're not children, we can take care of introductions by ourselves, "Miroku said, conveniently missing Sango's mumbled comment, "you could've fooled me..."
"I am Miroku Houshi, my fair lady," Miroku said, taking Kagome's hand in his own and kissing it lighly, while Kagome blushed furiously and Sango's eye twitched slightly.
"Oh my..." Kagome said, rather speechless, before InuYasha stepped in.
"Don't be fooled by his 'charming' act, Miroku is just a pervert dressed like a monk that has lustful intentions towards women," InuYasha mumbled.
"InuYasha, I am hurt! You know I only go for the radient beautiful ones," Miroku said, winking at Kagome, who was currently preoccupied, to Miroku's dismay.
"Your name is rather interesting, InuYasha, was it?" Kagome looked at InuYasha sceptically, "why?"
"Huh? Can't you tell by... ah! InuYasha stop hiding behind those shades and show your ears!" Miroku said, swipping InuYasha's sun glasses from his face.
"Miroku! If he doesn't want her to know then leave him be!" Sango said, swatting Miroku's hands away from groping distance.
"Know what?" Kagome asked, looking curiously at the seemingly normal young man with the odd name in front of her.
"This," InuYasha looked up from under the shadow of his bangs and allowed his ears to perk up from the top of his head.
"Oh Wow! How cute are you!?" Kagome gasped, practically launching herself at InuYasha's ears and rubbing them between her fingers.
"Hey wench! Get off of me!" InuYasha yelled, after getting over the initial shock and pushing the Kikyou look alike away from him.
"Oh sorry! I just used to have a dog when I lived with my family at Sunset shrine," Kagome said, backing off.
"You used to live at a shirine Kagome-sama?" Miroku asked, giving Kagome a once over again.
"Yes, I used to be a priestess, before I decided to go to collage to become a doctor," Kagome said, looking away from the glaring hanyou, "I am appling for a job here because I need the money for classes."
"Oh, I see!" Sango said, smiling as she walked up next to Kagome, "Well, lets introduce you to the boss and get you in some proper clothes!"
"Proper clothes? What's wrong with what I have on?" Kagome asked, pulling at her white sweater.
"You don't think we're all dressed like this for fun do you?" Sango asked, pointing to InuYasha's red kimono and haori, Miroku's traditional monk garb, and her own kimono, "this Sengoku Jidai bar and you have to dress the part!"
"Um... okay..."
(A/N: sorry to interupt... my own story, but I just wanted to tell you that they are all wearing what they wear in the series (except for Kagome, she has to wear something other than her school uniform. It just wouldn't fit you know.) AnyWays, sorry for that. Scroll on down!)
After a few minutes of being in the back room with Sango, Kagome re-emerged wearing a white and red priestess outfit with her hair tied behind her head in the expected way (like when she looked like Kikyou in the first comic book and the... third episode of the anime I believe.) This only seemed to piss InuYasha off more for reason's unknown to Kagome. After a few minutes of being under InuYasha unnerving glare, Kagome finally decided to ask Sango what the deal was.
"Sango," Kagome turned to Sango, as she filled another shot glass, "why does InuYasha keep staring, or better yet, glaring at me?"
"Oh, I guess it's because you resemble his fiance," Sango said, offhandly, as she filled an order for 15 shots of brandy and a bottle of Sake.
"Well, wouldn't that be a good thing?" Kagome asked, catching another glance at InuYasha, who haden't relented in his glaring, then returning her glance at Sango, who was filling orders at a record pace.
"Huh? How do you figure?" Sango asked, momentarily stopping her work and looking at Kagome, "How is that a good thing?"
"Well, why would it be a bad thing?" Kagome asked, looking confused, "You said I look like his fiance, right?"
"Oh! Did I say fiance?" Sango said, knocking herself on the head and then returning to her work, "I meant to say ex-fiance. She apparently was the sister to the owner and she left InuYasha for an American millionare. So I guess he has good reason to not like you, especially since you are wearing the uniform she used to wear."
"What!? That's no reason to hate me! Especially since he just met me!" Kagome yelled exasperated, throwing her hands over her head, "I'm going to have a talk with him!"
"Oh wait!" Sango grabbed Kagome's arm before she could leave the bar area, and deposited a bottle of Sake into her hand "here, at least act like you have a worth while purpose,"
"What!? This is worth while!" Kagome fumed, glaring at the sake bottle.
"Yeah but, you don't want to get in trouble with Kaede on your first day, that and InuYasha may need something to smooth him over," Sango said, before returning once again to her work.
"Ugh1 Fine then!" Kagome gave in to Sango's resoning and headed for the stairs with the Sake in hand.
InuYasha decide it would be a good idea to return to his real job, which wasn't watching the new girl like a hawk. Much to his dismay, Miroku had come up a few seconds prior and informed InuYasha that it was his turn to stand guard at the door. InuYasha hated that job for two current reasons. First off, it was snowing outside and he hated getting cold, wet snow in his ears, and the second reason being, he wouldn't be able to glare at the new girl anymore. None the less, if he wanted to keep his job, than he actually had to do it, so he got out of his chair and made his way to the stairs. (A/N: now, who can guess what is going to happen?)
"Ah!" Kagome yelled as she bumped into something tall and firm in front of her, namely InuYasha.
Kagome windmilled her hands in attempt to keep her balance, but she failed. She lost her footing and would've fallen down the stairs if InuYasha haden't grabbed the collar of Kagome's kimono to hold her steady. However, the bottle of Sake wasn't so lucky as it flew out of her grasp and hit the ground, shattering into a million peices.
"Oi bitch! What the hell are you doing!?" InuYasha yelled after letting go of Kagome before she realized he was touching her.
"Uh! Me!? I should be asking you the same thing!" Kagome yelled indignantly, "You're the one who almost killed me!"
"That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! What are you coming up here for anyways? I have a job to do you know?" InuYasha yelled, walking around and past Kagome on the stairs.
"Well so do I! I was bringing you this!" Kagome yelled, poining at the shattered mess on the floor and then glaring at InuYasha when she found out he was ignoring her and was headed for the door, "ohhh!" Kagome fumed, before walking to get a mop and a broom to clean up the mess that 'InuYasha' made.
InuYasha was standing guard at the door like he was supposed to when he spotted his worst nightmare making his way to the bar. InuYasha groaned as the man about his age walked up to him and started the act of throwing the usual insults.
"So, how is the mutt of this poor excuse for a bar doing today?"
"Shove it Kouga, you rabid wimp," InuYasha barked back (no pun intended)
"Oh, so you wanna fight now, mutt face?" Kouga asked twitching slightly.
"Anytime your ready wimpy wolf."
"InuYasha! I demand an explaination!" Kagome stormed out of the bar just as InuYasha was about to make a lunge at Kouga.
"Wench! Shut you hole and get you ass back inside! This is none of your concern!" InuYasha yelled, not taking his eyes off Kouga.
"So InuYasha, find a new human girl to replace Kikyou have you?" Kouga asked ammused, straightning up and starting to walk away, "better keep your eye on this one, if you don't want to lose her like the last one that is."
"Um... InuYasha? What was that all about?" Kagome asked as she watched Kouga leave, "and who was that? He was kinda cute."
"Oh, give me a break! What do you wnat anyways? Didn't I tell you to leave?" InuYasha glared at Kagome.
"Hey! This may be Sengoku Jidai bar, but this most certainly is not that day and age! You can't treat me like that!" Kagome fumed, demanding InuYasha's full attention, "now tell me why you hate me so much!"
"You look like the woman that I despise..." InuYasha growled at the memory of Kikyou.
Kagome stepped beck slightly at the sound of InuYasha growling, but still continued, "But I'm not her! I am Kagome, and I'm sure I am way different than this Kikyou person, right?"
InuYasha looked at Kagome, scrutinizing, "yeah your right... she was prettier than you anyways."
"What!? InuYasha you..."
"InuYasha! We've got trouble in the bar again!" Sango said, opening the door as chairs flew out through a nearby window.
"What is it now?" InuYasha asked, calmly following Sango inside, while Kagome followed InuYasha nervously.
"Apperently they can''t decide who sings karaoke first," Sango said, pointed towards the karaoke machiene, where one man was trying to strangle another with the microphone cord.
"Oh broth..."
"Hey I love this song!" Kagome pipped up, running over to the Karaoke machine and starting to sing along to "Beat It" by Michael Jackson, "InuYasha! Isn't American music cool!?
"No, I hate it!" InuYasha grabbed the plug to the karaoke machiene and ripped it out of the wall, "there, problem solved, now nobody sings karaoke,"
"Hey! InuYasha you jerk! That was a good son... oh I get it! You don't like any form of American music, all because of Kikyou," Kagome said slyly, glancing at InuYasha.
"That is not the reason," InuYasha said stubbornly crossing his arms and looking the opposite way.
"Is he really an adult?" Kagome asked, glancing at Sango.
"I don't know, sometimes I wonder," Sango shook her head and headed back behind the bar, followed by Kagome.
"Oh! Finally, I thought tonight would never end!" Sango said stretching as the last drunken customer left.
"Yeah, say Sango, why don't you come over to my place?" Miroku said, snaking his arm around her sholders.
"Miroku, it's two in the morning first of all, and I wouldn't go home with you if you were the last person here, which you're not," Sango said, gesturing to Kagome and InuYasha.
"Home... HOME!? Ah! I just remembeered something! I haven't even started looking for an apartment yet!" Kagome yelled in horror, attracting the atention of all the other people in the room, "hey Sango, do you thin..."
"Uh Kagome, I would really love to let you stay in my apartment, but I live with my younger brother and I don't really have any room to spare," Sango said, looking at Kagome sadly.
"I am sorry to report that you can't say with me either. I live with mmy senile old grandfather and I don't think you would want to stay with me," Miroku said, inching his way closer to Kagome.
"I'm sure that's not the only reason you don't want to stay with him," Sango muttered to Kagome, as she stood firmly in front of her.
"Oh, what am I gonna do?" Kagome said, racking her brain for an answer.
"I know! You can stay with InuYasha!" Miroku said enthusiastically.
"WHAT!?"
A/N: See, what did I tell ya? Highly improbable right? Oh well. Oh! And I just wanted to inform you all. I have only seen up to the episode where Kagome get's kidnapped by Kouga (blame Cartoon Network). But anyways, so I don't really know much about the other characters, like Kagura for instance, so don't be surprised if I get her personalitly wrong. Anyways, I hope this chapter was a little longer than the last. But I guess that's natural, seeing as how the first chapter was basically just the prolouge. Thanks so much for the reviews you guys! I can't believe all the reviews I got already! *tear* you are so great! R&R for me and I'll keep working for you! Thanks!
"Well, are two just going to stare at the poor girl all day or are you going to walk down there and introduce yourselves!?" Sango yelled, seeing Kagome shift nearvously under InuYasha and Miroku's critical gaze.
