A/N: Since I have to go to Tennessee for my grandmother's funeral, I'm having a major update for you. I won't be around from about Thursday to maybe Sunday. So, that's why there won't be any updates. I'm very sorry. So, I'll write all this chapter and hopefully another before I have to leave tomorrow.
I still don't own Inuyasha or Gangs of New York or Lord of the Rings(LOTR).
Chapter 10- Job Search
Inuyasha slept on my couch. I had my nice warm bed.
In
the morning, I felt a lot better than I had in ages and I had slept well. For
once.
"Inuyasha,"
He sat on the breakfast bar, drinking coffee.
"Morning,
Kagome." He said. He seemed cheerful. What a surprise.
"Inuyasha,
what time is it?"
"It
looks like it's about 12:45."
"PM?!?!?"
"Ya,
why?"
"I
have to go!"
"Why
Kagome?"
"I
have to go find a job! I put off my job search before because I was with you."
"And
so your rejecting me?!?!?"
"No.
Once I found you I decided I would go and get myself a job. But, then you
disappeared again."
"Gomen
nasai."
"Inuyasha,
it's ok. I promise. Ja!"
"Kagome!
What is there to eat around here?"
"I'm
not sure. I haven't eaten here in a while. There might be some ramen. . . ."
But it wasn't worth my breath. Inuyasha was already searching around the
kitchen. I figured he would.
I
began to walk out the door. I figured he would be too bust searching for his
ramen to notice me leave.
"Ja
Kagome. Come back soon." He whispered into my ear. His arms were around me and
holding me tight to his chest. I tried to turn so I could look at him, but he
simply held me.
He
then kissed me lightly on my lips. He then closed the door behind me and I
walked off to find myself a job, humming some random tune.

"Higurashi
Kagome. You are single?"
"Hai."
"How
much experience have you had?"
"Umm,
not much."
"Where
have you worked before?"
"Just
Gregory's. As a waitress."
"Why
did you leave?"
"I
was out of high school and I was going to college."
"Oh."
Owari
Kouga. Another boss to meet. Another to hate. Another to yell at and cuss at.
Like I had done to the first.
He
wasn't bad looking. He seemed pretty nice and considerate. But, I had my own
boyfriend back home.
Owari
owned Cappuccino and Comics. One of my favorite places. I loved reading comics.
I loved a good cappuccino. They went well together. If I got this job, what
could go wrong. Except. They say to expect the unexpected. Well, I didn't
exactly do that.

"You
start Tuesday."
"Thank
you so much Owari-san."
"Please,
call me Kouga-kun."
"Alright.
Kouga-kun."
Was
this guy an abusive psycho maniac? I didn't have a want, need, or true desire
to find out.
It
might get ugly.
Inuyasha
was waiting on my bar. He was watching some cartoons. I rolled my eyes.
He
could be so immature.
"Inuyasha!"
"Kagome!
You're back!" He perked up. He ran forward and kissed me on my lips.
"I
missed you."
"I
was only gone for 3 hours."
"It
can get lonesome."
"Silly
puppy."
I
looked in my cabinet to see if I had any ramen left. No ramen. I took a glance
at my trash can. 23 package wrappings of ramen.
"Inuyasha?
Did Naraku feed you?"
"Hai."
"Then
why did you eat 23 bags of ramen?"
"Because
I was hungry?"
"No
wonder you look like you're a whale."
"…"
I
laughed at his face. He had been smirking. Now he was pouting. Such a silly and
cute puppy.
"Feh."
"…"
"Kagome?"
"Nani?"
"What
movie do you want to go see?"
"I
don't know. What's on?"
"Umm,
not sure."
"Why
did you ask me then?"
"Do
you want to go to the movie or not?"
"That's
a stupid question."
"And?
Your answer?"
"Hai.
I'll go with you to the movies."
"Alright.
Let's go eat then."
"Alright.
I don't see why YOU would be hungry though."
"Feh."

We
ended up at Seven. I wasn't paying much attention to my food though. More to
Inuyasha's eyes, hair, his cute face.
I
laughed sometimes, and he would ask me why. I would say 'nothing' but I knew
what it was. I loved him. It was simple. I loved his face, his beautiful hair,
his deep eyes. I felt like I could go on and on.
"Kagome?
Have you decided on a movie?"
We
were standing outside the theater. It was incredibly cold.
"Umm.
How about Gangs of New York?"
"You
had better be kidding."
"Fine.
What about Lord of the Rings?"
"Humm.
I guess. I love the books and the first movie."
We
walked in after we got the tickets and drinks and popcorn.
We
found the perfect seats in the back. Two. We were alone on the row.
It
began to start. I noticed after about 15 minutes, Inuyasha wasn't paying
attention to the movie. He was looking at me.
"What
is it Inuyasha?"
"I
just. . . I can't stop it. I can't stop thinking of you. Even a movie can't
bring my mind away."
It
was sweet. I felt embarrassed, uncomfortable, but most of all, loved. I lifted
the arm rest and relaxed against his chest. He put his arms around my stomach
protectively.
"I
love you Kagome."
"I
love you too, Inuyasha."
"Will
you-" He was cut off. I looked behind us and I looked at the stairs. Some
little kid was screaming his head off. It was the big fight scene against the
orcs. It wasn't actually as scary as the first movie, but I could see why a
little 7 year old would be scared.
I
moved out of Inuyasha's arms. He growled and held onto my wrist.
"I'll
be back. I promise."
"…Feh…"
He crossed his arms across his chest.
I
followed the little kid till I got out to the lobby. He sat there crying and
wouldn't stop.
"Hey.
Little boy, are you ok?"
"Huh?
Who are you?"
"My
name is Kagome."
"You
seem really nice. My name is Shippou."
A/N:
Alright. We have Kouga and Shippou in here now. Hopefully, all will turn out
good. Like I said, I'm sorry that I won't be here. I may not even get back till
Tuesday. But Sunday is more likely. So Ja!
