CHAPTER 7
"Inuyahsa, where is your laundry soap?" Kagome called from the laundry room.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Gee, I dunno. Try looking by the washer!" He yelled sarcastically.
He and Miroku could here her grumbling from the other room.
"I already looked by the washer." Kagome grumbled as she once again looked by the washer. Sure enough, there it was. 'It wasn't there a moment ago.' She thought as she grabbed the bottle of soap. "Oh well." She said as she poured a cap of the soap into the washer.
"Kagome is very.. interesting." Miroku commented from the kitchen table.
Inuyasha made a snorting sound. "You think every woman is 'interesting' you stupid lech." He said as he poured himself a cup of coffee.
"Not every woman, my friend, I think my dear Sango is fasinating." Miroku stated as he got a dreamy look on his face just thinking about the beautiful nurse. Miroku let out a sigh. "Sango is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." He said as he took a sip of his coffee.
Inuyasha just rolled his eyes and took his seat across from Miroku.
Miroku suddenly got a serious look on his face. "Does she know about your secret?" He asked in a low voice so only Inuyasha could hear.
Inuyasha glanced at the man in front of him. "No, she doesn't know about it. And I intend to keep it that way." He said and took a gulp of his black coffee.
Miroku opened his mouth to say something else, but quickly closed it as Kagome walked into the kitchen, still in Inuyasha's bath robe.
Miroku began to droll, you see, all though the bath robe didn't show anything, it was still just a little to big in the chest area and showed a little of Kagome's cleavage.
Kagome saw what he was staring at and quickly pulled the top part of the robe shut and took a seat next to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha just now realized what Kagome was wearing. "Oi, wench, why are you wearing my bath robe?" He asked with mild couriosity.
"My other clothes stunk, so I had to borrow something, and your bath robe was the only thing that was in the bathroom." She replied as she added creamer to her coffee. "Oh, and one more thing," Kagome said as she turned to face Inuyasha. "My name is NOT wench. Its Kagome. Do you need me to pronounce it for you? Ka. Go. Me." She said and turned back to her coffee as if nothing had happened.
"Well then, I guess you'll just have to go shopping." Inuyasha stated, not fazed in the least by Kagome's little out burst about her name.
"And how am I supposed to go shopping if I don't have any money? Last I checked you had to pay to get clothes." Kagome stated as she stired her coffee.
"You can go shopping with Sango this afternoon when I go in for work." Inuyasha said, acting like he hadn't heard what Kagome had said.
Kagome sighed in defeat and drank her coffee. 'He can be so stubborn some times.' She thought as she drank her coffee. 'Well, I can be stubborn, too.' She thought.
"I refuse to borrow money that I can't repay." She stated in a voice that just dared some one to argue with her.
Inuyasha didn't say anything for a minute. "Well, if you don't want to borrow money that you can't repay, then I guess you'll have to get a job." He stated as he drained the last of his coffee.
"A job?" Kagome repeated as she glanced at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha returned the glance. "Yeah, a job. You know, its something you do to get money." Inuyasha explained as if he were talking to a little child.
Kagome frowned. "I know what a job is, Inuyahsa." She stated and returned to staring at her coffee.
Miroku pushed his chair away from the table and walked over to Kagome. he squatted down in front of her chair, so that they were eye level. "I for one, Kagome, have faith in you. I'm sure you'll find a place where people would just love to hire you." He said in a sincere sounding voice.
Kagome smiled warmly at him. "Thanks for the confidence, Miroku. But, there is one thing I would like to say to you." She said.
"And what might that be, Kagome?" Miroku asked with an innocent voice.
Kagome's left eye was begening to twitch ever so slightly. "GET YOUR HAND AWAY FROM MY ASS!" Kagome yelled as she felt Miroku's hand begin to wander. She brought her right hand up and slapped him with such force that he fell on his behind.
Miroku just smiled as he brought his hand up to rub his cheek.
**
"So, where would be a good place to find a job?" Kagome asked as she glanced out the window.
She was seated in the front of Sango's red Voults Wagon and they were driving towards a clothing store.
Sango was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans, and red shirt that had the words 'I have Issues' on the front, a pair of black boots, and her hair was pulled into a high pony-tail.
"Shopping first, worry about finding a job later." Sango replied as she grabbed a pair of sun glasses.
"OK, so then where are we going shopping?" Kagome asked.
Sango glanced over at her with a smile. "The mall." She replied, her smile widening.
Kagome returned the smile.
Sango parked her car and she and Kagome got out. Sango locked her car and they begin to walk towards the entrance of the mall.
"Wow." Kagome said once they were inside the mall. It was huge! In one part of it, there was the food courts. It had at least twenty different food stands. At another part, there was the clothing, Kagome counted thirty clothing stores, then there were the shoe stores, the pet shop, music shop, and the theater, and right in the middle of it all was the biggest water fountain Kagome had ever seen.
It was at least ten feet round, and right in the middle of it was a statue of a horse rearing up and water was shooting out of its mouth, into the air and back into the fountain.
Kagome walked over to the fountain to get a closer look. When she was close, she saw that there was change at the bottom of the fountain. Kagome fished in her pockets and found a quarter. "Its worth a try." She said as she clutched the change in her hand. She closed her eyes. 'I wish I could remember who I am.' She thought as she opened her eyes. She threw the quarter and watched as it floated to the bottom of the fountain.
"C'mon, Kagome!" Sango called giddely from a clothing store.
Kagome took one last look at the fountain, then hurried over to Sango for a day of shopping.
**
Two hours and twelve stores later. Sango and Kagome were sitting in the food courts, each eating a burger.
Kagome had found something out about Sango. She was a shopaholic! Kagome already had seven bags of clothing and they still hadn't went into any shoe stores yet.
"What store do you want to go to next?" Sango asked as she took a final bit out of her burger.
Kagome was thoughtful for a moment. She looked around the mall and her eyes landed on the pet shop. Right in the front window was a sign that said 'Help Wanted' in big black letters.
"The pet shop!" Kagome exclaimed as she threw her trash away.
"The pet shop? But they don't have any clothes or shoes there." Sango stated in a confused voice.
Kagome looked at Sango with exitment in her eyes. "Not for clothes, for a job! The pet shop needs help!" Kagome explained as she grabbed her bags and headed for the pet shop, Animal Heaven.
In the store windows were puppies playing with each other. Kagome smiled when she saw a great dane puppy that looked almost like Demon.
She pushed the door open and walked in. This place had every kind of animals you could think of! Cats, dogs, birds, snakes, hamsters, ferrets, and a lot of others that Kagome couldn't even name!
Kagome walked to the front counter where a woman was standing. The woman had blond hair down to her shoulders, and she had shocklingly bright blue eyes. The woman looked up and smiled brightly at Kagome. "Hello, welcome to Pet Heaven. Can I help you with anything today?" She asked with a kind voice.
Kagome returned the smile. "Actually you can. I'm here about a job. There was a sign in your window and I really need a job." Kagome said as she leaned on the counter.
The womans face brightened at hearing this. "You are? That's great! We've been trying to fin some one for awhile now. You see the last person who worked here found out that she was allergic to dogs so she had to quite." The woman explained.
"So I get the job?" Kagome asked hopefully.
"You sure do!" The woman explained, still smiling.
Kagome's face broke into a huge smile. "That's great! When do I start?" Kagome asked exitedly.
"First thing tomorrow! By the way, I'm Trish." The woman now known as Trish introduced herself and held out her hand.
Kagome smiled as she accepted her out stretched hand. "Nice to meet you, Trish. I'm Kagome."
