Oh. My. God.
That's all that I really have to say right now. How long has it been since I updated? I think longer than life itself… okay, I'm starting to be overdramatic, but you gotta admit that it's true. I am sooo freaking sorry it took me sooo freaking long to update, but (this is the part where you don't have to stick around to read) my excuse is this: Family problems and deaths… and I lost my floppy disk that I saved all of my work on. =( And I am dumb enough not to make back-up files! I'm still trying to look for it… but no luck. =( Ahem, yeah, anyway, this chapter is a bit more short than the first three (that's right, only three chapters) but I'm still trying to get back in the mood for all four of my stories… but failing miserably. But there's still hope! Okay, I'm done with my ranting, again. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: Yu Yu Hakusho and Inuyasha are not in my possession at the present time, unfortunately.

~Some of us had to work hard for getting our hook-ups to places such as the Café, but for others, such as my managers daughter, get lucky. She doesn't have to hassle her brother to ask his friends best friend to get free food and clothing! But still… she has a good heart and that's all that really matter~
**Good morning civilians of Tokyo; Shippo Fukimoto here at Shikon102.1 with today's special guest, Rin Takahashi**
**Hello, first let me give a shout out to my father Sesshomaru Takahashi and his little half-brother, Inuyasha**
**Alright, right now we are going to play Twista's number one hit single "Slow Jamz" featuring Kanye West and Jamie Foxx while Rin and I get a little more acquainted**
**She said she wants some Marvin Gaye, some Luther Vandross, a little Anita, and defiantly set this party off right (Are you gonna be, are you gonna be, are you gonna be, well well well well)**
A light painful moan was heard from the bedroom of a twenty-one year old girl. Last night was a night of the heavy sleepers, but not too good for the light sleepers in Tokyo. Kagome ever so slowly got up from her dirty beige colored carpet and walked over to her dresser to get ready for her future work. 'Couldn't that bastard wait for my punishment until tomorrow? I need this money more than anything to survive! Thank god Mr. Minamino came last night instead of tonight'
Kagome didn't even want to think of what pain she was going to be in later that day, she couldn't exactly walk like a pro that everyone her age should be. Opening up the first drawer to her dresser, Kagome pulled out another pair of baggy black pants, underwear, and a semi-tight long sleeved black shirt. Kagome walked into her bathroom to take her usual five-minute shower in the morning period of the day. She didn't bother taking a look at her condition in her full-length mirror for she knew she was in a bad condition but didn't want to acknowledge it.
Kagome turned the silver knob that controlled her showers temperature until it was warm enough for her liking. Undressing and jumping into the shower stall, Kagome thought about pulling her switching-job technique with one of the chef's in the kitchen for the day.

A young man woke up for a start. He turned his thoughts to the night before and was gleaming about how he made his moves just right on a certain raven-haired girl. But his sly smile faded when he got to the part about 'her already "taken for the liking"' part. He didn't know why he wanted nothing other than her boyfriend to die for some unknown reason just for his selfish wantings. 'Where the hell did that thought come from'
Finishing off his reminiscing, Kurama got off from his full-sized bed and headed to his bathroom to wash up for the day ahead of him. For once he had nothing planned for the second half of his weekend. 'I guess that's why "there's a first for everything" comment comes in handy'
After brushing his hair and teeth, Kurama walked into his closet and picked out a pair of jeans and a plain white t-shirt. Just out of curiosity, the handsome red head walked over to his Apple computer and logged into his pen name only to find his best friend for life online. 'Does he ever log out?'

~Minamino Residence~
Kurama surfed the web for a couple of more minutes after his friend logged off but soon found himself turning off his PC computer and started heading down the stairs to greet his mother and father.

The usual weekend walk to the Cafe usually only lasts 5-8 minutes, but today it seemed more like 10-13 minutes and all the more pain to Kagome. She hated not owning a car that would come in use for times likes these. But lady luck never is with her on her many adventures. Kagome entered the Café and found rush hour hectic going through Sakura Blossom Café once again. This was not going to be her day. 'Unless….'
Kagome glided across the front room and into the busy kitchen only to find her ex-stalker and boyfriend going at their usual fighting. Being in the pain that she is in now, Kagome really did not want to break this up and especially this early in the morning. 'Why me?'
"Yo dog-freak, Kyoto is calling for their idiot back."
"The only idiot I see in here is you, wolf-shit!"
"I was born in Nagoya ya stupid-ass"
"It's in the same country!"
"Then at least I'm not the only shit around here."
"Why you-"
"Would you two just shut-up!" yelled a young woman before retaliation could get past the young mans mouth. Kagome was about to lose her mind if the fighting continued also being the reason of her sudden out-bursts.
"Kagome?"
"Kagome!" said both twenty-two year old men as a greeting to their long time friend. Kagome took a glance at Kouga to find the same unknown glint in his eyes, 'Nothing new there', and found a sort of anger/confused look in Inuyasha's golden orbs. 'Damn it, I thought he would of forgotten about last night'
"Kagome, I need to have a talk with you," demanded Inuyasha to the blue-eyed girl in front of him.
"Hey Kouga, how are you this fine day?" asked Kagome to the brown haired man trying to ignore Inuyasha at the same time.
"Kagome"
"Okay I suppose," replied the sky blue eyed man a little confused about the situation. It usually was the other way around: Kouga talk-Kagome ignore-Inuyasha and friend chat.
"Kagome"
"That's nice to hear. How would you like to do the old switching gig with me today?" Kagome asked sweetly to her co-worker.
"Kagome"
"Why not, I don't want to cook today anyway. Sunday days sometime does that to you," Kouga said to Kagome also starting to get used to ignoring his life time enemy.
"Kagome"
"Alright, good luck with today then."
"Kagomeeee"
"You too honey," and with that last word passing his lips, Kouga left the kitchen to change into his waiter clothing that he acquired with the hook up Sango had with SBC. Kagome was thanking herself and the gods above on her performance all the while ignoring her silver haired friend next to her.
"Kagome!!" Well at least she enjoyed the ignoring game while it lasted.
"Yes Inuyasha?" asked Kagome to her so-called boyfriend half annoyingly and half sweetly. Kagome tried to use most of her sweetness towards Inuyasha hoping the over dose of sweetness will freak him out to conclusion he should forgot the night before.
"Don't even use your tooth ache technique on me, I've known you long enough to know how much sweetness you use to try and freak the hell oughta me. Anyway, what the hell was wrong with you last night?" 'Damn, I need to get new friends' Kagome reasoned with herself before actually explaining to her friend what was up with her about the last nights events.
"How about you kill me now and I'll tell you when you join me in heaven… well if you make to heaven that is," was Kagome's answer to Inuyasha's simple question.
"Quit playing around with me Kagome, I want an answer now!" demanded Inuyasha once again. Obviously someone wasn't a happy worker today… but then again who was ever happy of going to work and on the weekend nevertheless?
"Hey now! Yesterday was a good day turned oddly bad, and you were my last resort of ending the day my way," Kagome answered with her winning beauty pageant smile at Inuyasha hoping that the answer would sustain him for the time being.
"Your way? You know what Kagome, let's just skip the questioning crap and say I'm not your boyfriend and what the hell were you thinking?" Inuyasha retorted with annoyance shown brightly in his tone of voice.
"I thought you said we were going to skip the questioning crap?" Kagome sometimes didn't get her friend, he'd say one thing but ended up breaking that saying of his. Inuyasha Takahashi was a complete maze to Kagome Higurashi.
"Not answering."
"How about this then, we'll talk after work? Just because of this conversation and breaking up the fight… I'm ten minutes late," Kagome purposed to Inuyasha now praying that he would agree, she wanted nothing more than to cut off her left leg.
"Five o'clock on the dot, meet me in the dressing room," agreed Inuyasha to a Kagome that was mentally wiping sweat off her forehead.
"Umm… it would be ten o'clock on the dot for me. You wouldn't mind waiting a few five hours more would ya?" asked Kagome in a "I highly recommend this choice" tone.
"No, I'll come back at ten thirty then," disagreed Inuyasha but in a gentlemanly way.
"Sounds good to me," and with that Inuyasha left to continue his work as typing away on his computer while talking into his head-phone for call waiting. Kagome slipped into her chefs clothing back in the woman's locker room also finally checking into SBC. 'Great, now I'm twenty minutes late…although revenge is a sweet antidote'

Kurama walked into the waiting room that Shikon102.1 station offered as he waited for his father's employee's adopted daughter to finish off the famous Shippo's morning show. The room was just a single maroon couch, a cherry wood coffee table, white walls, a small black television in the corner, and a cherry wood side table supporting a fine vase filled with fresh flowers. Kurama admired the designers taste to this room, but then again maroon was one of his favorite colors.
Kurama waited for a good ten minutes before the plain white door busted open to reveal his three friends.
"Yo Kurama, do you know how tight the security is around here? They were about to frisk the life out-a me!" complained Yusuke as he found himself a seat on the other side of the couch.
"Shut it Urameshi, it's because of that oaf over there we were forced to go through the metal detector," half demanded and half… well demanded the words of Hiei Jaganshi while he leaned against a nearby wall.
"Oh sure, blame it on me! It wasn't my fault that the little kid tricked me into tackling a police man!" retorted Kazuma's defense.
"No, I think you're just mentally handicap and in need of help A.S.A.P. If that's not the case… I'm scared," Yusuke said with character acting as if the world was coming to an end. Kurama took in the scene that just played and started to chuckle lightly at the foolishness of his two friends, it wasn't everyday that you witness you're friends making complete idiots of themselves.
"Hn. When is the princess going to be done with her interview?" Hiei asked after a moment of silence. He didn't exactly want to be here on his behalf thus the reason why he wanted to leave right now right now and not later later.
"She should be done in a couple of minutes," answered Kurama while he started to kick back in the dark red sofa.
"Whadyaknow, it's Ms. Takahashi on Today! She does get around," Yusuke spoke breaking the silence other than the noise of him clicking the remote buttons and buzzing of talking people on the TV.
"Who's that?" asked Kazuma dumbfounded by who the pretty girl on the television screen was.

Yes, that's it for now. Sorry if it isn't all that long, but like I said above, I'm still trying to get in the groove of typing away and making chapter to my fictions.
