CHAPTER 10
Inuyasha was the first to wake up the next morning. He stretched his arms over his head. He paused when he felt something warm snuggling into his chest. At first he thought that it was Demon, but when he looked down he saw a sleeping Kagome.
He blushed a bright red. He gently moved Kagome off of his chest and on to the couch. He sighed in reliefe when he successfully moved her from his chest to the couch with out waking her up.
'No telling what she would do if she woke up and found us like that.' Inuyasha thought as he got off the couch.
He made his way towards the kitchen to make his morning pot of coffee. Inuyasha just couldn't funtion correctly with out his his first few cups of morning coffee.
He grabbed the coffee mix and put it in the coffee maker. In no time at all, the kitchen was soon filled with the heavenly smell of coffee.
The smell of coffee wafted from the kitchen and into the living room where it played in front of the sleeping Kagome's nose.
Kagome's nose twitched when the smell reached her nose. She cracked one eye open and looked towards the kitchen. She pushed herself into a sitting position on the couch and just sat there for a minute, trying to get herself woken up. 'I guess I'm not a morning person.' She thought as she sleepily pushed herself to her feet.
"Mornin." She muttered as she drug her feet across the kitchen floor and into a seat at the table. She flopped into the chair and rested her chin in one hand, trying desperatly to keep her eyes open.
Inuyasha glanced at Kagome and it took all of his will power to not burst out laughing. Kagome's hair was sticking out in all directions, her clothes were crumpled from sleeping in them, her eyes were glazed with sleep, and she looked like she would fall back asleep in any minute.
Instead of laughing, Inuyasha got a coffee cup and filled it with black coffee. He sat it in front of Kagome and she took it in her hands and took a grateful sip of the black brew.
"Don't you start that job down at the pet shop today?" Inuyasha asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee and took a seat across from Kagome.
Kagome nodded her head. "Yeah, I have to be there at eight thirty." She said as she took another sip of the brew in her coffee cup.
Inuyasha glanced up at her with a smirk. "Eight thirty, huh?" He said, still staring at her.
Kagome was still half asleep and didn't notice that he was smirking at her. "Yeah, it should be neat to work in a pet shop." She said as she stared at the black liguid in her cup.
"You plannin on going in late?" Inuyasha asked as he glanced at the kitchen clock that was hanging above the stove.
Kagome frowned at the quistion. "Of course I'm not going to be late. Its my first day on the job and I intend to get there at least five minutes early." Kagome said as she lifted the cup in her hands, enjoying the warmth that was emitting from it.
"That's not gonna happen." Inuyasha said as he shook his head slightly, still smirking at Kagome.
"Whats that supposed to mean?" Kagome asked as she lifted the cup to her lips and took a drink.
Inuyasha's smirk widened. "It ain't gonna happen because its already twenty after eight." He said as he smirked widely at Kagome.
Kagome chocked on her coffee half way down. "What do you mean its twenty after eight?! It can't be that late!" Kagome exclaimed as she coughed and sputtered on her coffee.
She glanced at the wall clock and her soulful brown eyes widened in shock. "OH MY GOD, I AM SO LATE!" She shouted as she jumped up from the table, knocking her chair over in the process. Suddenly, Kagome didn't feel very sleepy anymore.
Kagome ran out of the kitchen, up the stairs, down the hall and into the guest room. She ran to the dresser and yanked the door open, pulling out a pair of tight fitting blue jeans, and a shirt that was grey with red sleeves, it had a picture of a dashound on it and the word 'Hot Dog' in big blue letters.
She threw her clothes on, pulled on a pair of socks and a pair of black tennis shoes then rushed into the bathroom.
She quickly brushed her teeth and combed her hair then ran down the stairs. When she got there Inuyasha was already waiting at the door for her with his car keys in his hand.
Kagome glanced at the clock before she rushed out the door. It was now eight thirty. "I AM SO LATE! I CAN'T BELIEVE I OVER SLEPT!" Kagome yelled as she dashed out the door. She stopped in front of Inuyasha's car, waiting impatiently for him to catch up. "Come ON, Inuyasha! Let's GO!" She said as she jerked the car door open.
Inuyasha shook his head as he got into his car. "Feh, calm down, wench. It ain't the end of the world." He said as he put the key into the ignetion.
He back out of the driveway and onto the road. "FLOOR IT!" Kagome yelled.
Inuyasha smirked and did as Kagome asked, he floored it to where he was going forty miles over the speed limit.
**
Kagome was running through the mall, trying as her best to get to the pet shop with out running the shoppers down. Ksgome nearly ran into a woman with a little boy, but she doged at the last minute. "Sorry!" Kagome called over her shoulder. It was now eight fifty.
Kagome finally saw the pet shop and she burst through the doors and ran to the counter, she startled several birds in their cages and they squaked loudly in surprise.
Trish, who was working behind the counter, looked up in surprise when Kagome burst through the front door.
Kagome stopped right in front of the counter. "I am SO sorry I'm late, Trish! I over slept, then I had to get dressed, then Icouldn't find my tooth brush, then-" Kagome stopped, gasping slightly as she tried to catch her breath.
By this time, Trish was laughing. "Don't worry about it, Kagome. Its no big deal." Trish said as she giggled at the younger womans antics.
Kagome sighed in reliefe. "Thanks. I was really rushed getting here." She said as she straightend and leaned on the counter. "So, what do I do first?" Kagome asked once she had caught her breath.
Trish smiled at black haired woman in front of her. "Well, first we need to get you a name tag. Come with me." Trish said and motioned for Kagome to follow her.
Kagome stood and followed Trish into the back room, where they kept the supplies for the store. It was stocked full of stuff! Animal food, cages, toys, everythin that you could think of that had to do with animals was here!
Trish led Kagome to a side room where there was a small safe to pt the money at closing time. Trish pulled open a drawer in the desk and pulled out a blank name tag. She handed it and a black ink pen to Kagome.
Kagome took it and wrote her name on it. She handed the pen back to Trish, then clipped the name tag to her shirt.
"Now you offically work for Pet Heaven." Trish proclaimed as she led Kagome back into the store.
Kagome smiled at Trish. "So, now what do I do?" Kagome asked once they were back in the store.
Trish returned the smile. "First, you get to go and clean the puppies cages and put some of them in the window display. It doesn't matter which puppies you put in the window. There just have to be four to each window." Trish said as she led Kagome to the puppy section.
Kagome smiled when she saw all the little puppies. There were three or four puppies to each cage. She went to the first cage and saw that it had three little poodle puppies in it. "I think I'll put one of you guys in the window." She said as she gently picked up one of the little puppies.
There were at least thirty or thirty five cages and Kagome had to clean every single one of them. "Thank goodness. Only one left." She said with a sigh as she came up to the last cage. She was surprised when she saw only one puppy in it.
She opened the cage up and the little puppy looked at her with loving brown eyes and Kagome's heart melted. He was a beautiful little puppy. He was a German shepherd puppy. His fur was tanned colored with a black patch on his back and a black mask going over his face, making him look like a bandit, and his left ear was bent at the tip.
Kagome looked at the information that was on his tacked to the side of his cage. Her eyes widened when she saw how long he as been here. Over two monthes. Kagome picked the little puppy up and he instantly began to like her face.
"Hey Trish, how come this guy has been here for so long?" She called to the blond headed woman.
Trish walked over to Kagome and looked at the puppy she was holding. "Oh, you mean Bandit. Well, we just can't seem to find this little guy a home. Once people realze how big he's going to get, the look right over him and go on to the other puppies. He's make an exalnt pet for some one with children. He just loves kids." Trish said as she rubbed Bandit behind his ears.
Trish walked out of the puppy room to go tend to a customer.
Kagome held the puppy up and looked into his eyes. "Don't worry, Bandit. I'm gonna find some one to give you a home if it's the last thing I do." Kagome said as she walked over and sat Bandit in the store window display.
**
"Kagome, I'm gonna take my lunch break, okay?" Trish called one hour later.
"Okay, Trish, I'll see you in an hour." Kagome replied as she sat a bag of dog food on top of another one.
Trish wasn't eveb gone twenty minute before the little bell above the door tingled, alerting Kagome that she had a customer.
She walked to the front of the store to see a man with a little girl holding on to his right hand.
"Hello, welcome to Pet Heaven. My name is Kagome. Is there anything I can help you with today?" Kagome asked with a bright smile.
The man returned the smile. "Yes, you can. I'm here to get my daughter a puppy." He said and glanced down at his daught with a loving smile.
The little girl nodded exitedly. "Its my birthday today and my daddy says I can have any puppy I want!" She said, jumping up and down a little in her exitment.
Kagome smiled down at te child. "Well, happy birthday. Come with me and I'll take you to the puppy room." Kagome said.
Kagome was surprised when the little girl released her fathers hand and took hers. Kagome quickly recovered and led her to the puppy room.
The little girls eyes widened when she saw all of the puppies. "Can I pet them?" She asked as she glanced up at Kagome with big hopeful eyes.
Kagome smiled and nodded her head. "You sure can. Just let me know when you find one you like and I'll get it out of the cage for you." Kagome said as she released her hand.
The little girl squeeled in exitment and ran over to the cages. She cooed and petted each and every puppy she saw, and she had something nice to say about each puppy. It wasn't long before she came to the last cage, Bandit's cage.
The little girl, whose name was Emily, poked her hand in the cage and laughed happily when Bandit licked her hand. "I like this puppy!" She called and looked over at Kagome.
Kagome walked over and took Bandit out of his cage. "You picked a very good puppy. His name is Bandit, and he just loves little kids." She said as she handed Bandit into the waiting arms of Emily.
Emily's father walked over just then. "Honey, are you sure that's the puppy you want? Don't you want another one? One that'll be smaller? A German shelherd is a very big dog." He said as he looked down at Bandit.
Emily nodded her head vigously. "Bandit's a good puppy, daddy." Emily said as she snuggled the puppy in her arms.
"If you like we have a room where you can go and spend some time with Bandit and get to know him before you make a decision about him." Kagome said. 'This would be the perfect fanily for him.' Kagome thought as she looked down at Emily.
"I think that would be a good idea." Emily's father said.
Kagome smiled and led them to a room. She closed the door once Emily, her father and Bandit were in it. She walked back to the front of the store to feed the birds.
Twenty minutes later, Emily and her father emerged from the room, each with a smile on their faces. Emily ran over to Kagome. "I get to keep Bandit!" She said exitedly.
Kagome smiled "That's wonderful!" She said as she closed a birds cage. She turned to look at her father. "If you'll just come with me, please? You just have to sign a paper stating that you bought the puppy, put down his name, where you live, the owner of the puppy and your phone number and then you can take Bandit home." Kagome said as she led him to the front desk.
He signed the paper, then he and a happy little girl left the pet store with Bandit in tow.
"Bye Kagome!" Emily called before she left.
Kagome smiled and waved as she watched them walk down the mall. "I think I'm going to like tis job. Its very rewarding." Kagome thought as she pyt the paper into the file cabinet.
